I desperately want to vid Sara/Oliver (Canary/Arrow) for Arrow (gen, het, whatever). I think this likely would make me a very unpopular fan, which only makes it cooler! They should give that girl a spin-off series. She rocks! Girl + salmon ladder = Hells yes!
That is all. :D
That is all. :D

I mean, you've probably deduced my main Arrow OTP by now :P ;) BUT I've found that most Olicity shippers haven't fallen to pieces/sworn death to Sara/etc. even after the end scene. I don't like that Felicity is going to be hurt when she finds out about it, of course, but at the same time, if that would've been Felicity and Oliver... I would've been much more worried about my ship, to tell you the truth. It's too soon, Oliver's still waaaaay too broken to be able to have a healthy relationship and honestly, I like a lot more UST before my fav couples get together, so an out-of-the-blue snog and comfort sex would've disappointed me in a lot of ways. ;)
Which is all a long-winded way of saying, TOTES do your vid! It'll rock! :D \o/ ♥♥♥

But my understanding is that in the marvel verse Black Canary and Green Arrow ate quite often a couple. So that's pretty cool. And she's kick ass! I love all the back story with the two of them. So similar - with the experiences that have created them - Yet so different too. I hope they keep giving us all the back story. *flail*
Xxx Long-winded pah!

I definitely agree, the sexual tension is my favorite part! ;) If things are rushed, it's just not as fulfilling to me when they DO get together. :S
And yep, Black Canary/Green Arrow is definitely comic canon, except that Black Canary is Laurel in the comicverse (at least she was, I'm not current on the comics) but that's apparently one of the ways they're diverging while still sort of keeping things close to comic canon. I like that they're not strictly following comic canon yet are still respecting it, if that makes sense? That gives them a lot more freedom while still not being off totally doing something unconnected to the original comic source. ;)
They definitely are SO similar, which is why I can see why they would be drawn together at this particular moment. They can certainly understand where the other is coming from! :D ♥♥♥

I don't hate Sara but I find myself shipping Olicity.

Oh I get Olicity (as you all insist on calling it. Man I hate name-squishing), but I enjoy the sexual tension there and the fact that it won't likely happen for ages.
Quite enjoying the Sara/Oliver though. It's rather circular if you think about the coupling that's been going on since before the island too. :)

I liked Sara just fine but I liked her even more after the last ep where they revealed that she's bisexual. I loved how true that felt and how she talked to her Dad about it and the way the entire situation was handled. I was proud of the writers and producers and the whole cast for that. It was a fact, a part of her life and it wasn't sensationalized for tv lusting.
Since you've got me talking about the show and I've not really talked to anyone about it before - I'm going to go ahead and say I don't give a fig about Thea & Roy. Do you? Roy in the comics is Ollie's sidekick - his "robin" if you will. And it's him that Ollie calls "speedy" (not thea). I like the actors so I dunno, I guess it's just the writing. I just don't care about them. But I find myself wanting to fast forward whenever it's a Roy/Thea scene or a Laurel scene. The rest of the show is okay for me. How do you feel about them?

I really don't like Laurel as a character. She's so shallow somehow. 2 dimensional. But I also never liked the actress in Supernatural, so I wondered at first if it was just her... but I think the writing has a lot more to do with it now.
Thea used to annoy me a bit - the teenage angst angle getting over-played. And at first Roy too seemed very 2-dimensional, with all the poor little lower class angle, etc. But I've come around to both Thea and Roy this season and have actually been enjoying some of the interactions between them and Oliver. I'm hoping now that Roy is on the team, he'll become a proper sidekick and gain a bit more personality. Plus there will be the issue of keeping secrets from Thea which could go well or not depending on the writing. Not one I'd bet on.
Loving that there is now really a team of five - Ollie, Sara, Roy, Dig and Felicity. It's fun! I hope it stays that way for a while. :)
On a side note, I love Laurel's Dad. That character has always played well for me. As does Walter. I just wanna squish him. :)

And I'm the same, I still really like Sara, despite the fact I'm Olicity all the way. (It helps that I'm a multi-shipper and don't get bothered shipping totally conflicting things. ;) )
About the smushnames for ships... *throws in my two cents from the conversation downstream* ;) It's weird, there are some ship names that sound SO awkward, they make me cringe (Caskett for Castle/Beckett is one ;) ) and there are others that I sort of fall right into and it doesn't bother me (Skate for Sawyer/Kate from Lost). More often than not, IMO, it's not necessary and just is done because somebody wants to be the one who "invents" the ship name that everybody else ends up using, rather than it being a helpful shortcut when you're talking about the pairing.
I think fandom would be an easier place without ship names in many ways, if for no other reason than it would help the newcomers not be completely confused, lol! ;) ♥

I hope you keep making music vids, I'm sure they'll be epic!

Yeah, I haven't made any new vids for ages, but I think I'd like to make some. I just need to find the time to do it. It takes way more time than I usually have these days. *sigh*

In S1, there's a scene where one of the policemen suggested they could call him "Green Arrow" and they all laughed at the bad suggestion.
