❤️🖤💛💕💜💙 The time has come to talk of many memes. Of bows and arrows and superheroes and Olicity and Queens And why TGA is so damn hot And yes, canaries need more scenes... But wait just one minute before we go and do all that For this makes me out of breath To have this not small chat Felicity and I are a very tight two But after one through seven we will be saying goodbye to you I thank you all for the time we�ve shared The elevators we have climbed The monsters we have faced and scared And The burgers we have dined I will keep her in my heart for always And I hope that you can too Because she would not be alive if it weren�t for all of you 💕 Love, Felicity and Me

Now see? This is why I hate April 1st. You can't get straight news anywhere, and when you do, you don't know if its a lame joke or not.

To be fair, we get 364 whole days where we are treated to unbiased, unedited, no-agenda news. We can handle one day of tricks and misdirection.

Not really sure the reason other than it being story related. Season 8 is shortened to what, 10 episodes? If you're on a show for that long and you know it's almost done, why not just ride it out?

Sad that she is leaving but at the same time the show is ending so I hope the ending is a good for her as Amell said he had goosebumps after reading season 7 finale.?
