Watching Oliver in the AU world screamed one thing to me - he wants to be married and have a family. I didn’t realize how much he wanted it until this episode and tbh it made me sad. He wants a family. Ivy Town really was his real dream come true. To soon be married to Felicity, have kids, live that life. That’s his dream.
Of course we can get into his Arrow life and all that... but it’s just something that really screamed to me in the 100th episode that I never really knew about Oliver (or rather, I overlooked it) until now.
3.01: The entire time that I was gone I could never…really trust someone. And when that goes on for so long you stop seeing people as people. You see…threats, or targets.
4.16: I was in darkness. But with your kindness, your generosity, your compassion, your intelligence, your wit, and your trust - you brought me into the light.
