Oliver Queen | U N S T E A D Y

warning: mentions and depictions of suicide and suicidal intent (0:50 to 1:14 if you want to skip it)
do you ever get tired? y'know, carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders like that all the time?
i love my tiny mentally ill son and the next person who says that they think he needs to go through more pain to "get over himself" is going to be facing a very angry me.

God, I’m late. But this is why I prefer to watch Human-like heros. They have EMOTIONS, they feel true pain. And no one is nowhere near how arrow came to be. This is heart breaking.

[@genz6717]

Yeah, making perfect characters with no flaws or only one or two isn’t good

[@4everbuffylover]

Poor Oliver :(. This is really amazing. Love how well you understand him. He's pretty darn amazing. A very tough guy.

[@jordanpearson9883]

That was... everything. Like. Wow. Beautiful. I've always loved Oliver's character. I feel like people overlook all of the things he has been through, but it's pretty horrific. I've always just found him to be so fascinating. Love this video!

[@samakura1000]

its good to see someone that still mainly focuses on arrow than anything else, cause all i see now is just people who only give a fuck about the flash and nothing else, where they completely forget where it all started.

Yep, this is the type of angst that somehow makes me feel nothing and everything all at the same time. I'm not sure if I should scream or cry, well done.

[@jeagmg8987]

Omg that was amazing and beautiful, anyone else cry while watching this?

[@ksmart10]

this is so beautiful, it brings me to tears, he is such a superb actor

[@chloemkafan]

Beautiful video! Always makes me cry since finishing the series. Oliver Queen deserved better 💔

[@juliannakiara8137]

woah how do i not remember some of these super powerful scenes, i cant believe all this things were said omg

[@knicholas]

Awesome Arrow Video!!! Captures Oliver's character perfectly!!

[@vslayer313]

This has been a video that helps me in so many ways since late 2016. In retrospect this video and song has sparked a metamorphosis within myself then and now. Thank you so much for this video. It has helped more people than you realize. Especially those who have lived with PTSD. Stay strong!

[@VioletEmerald]

WOW. This video is definitely my favorite video I've seen set to this song. it gets repetitive sometimes in vids but the way you used voiceovers, it really didn't. Plus you know exactly how to draw amazing parallels in an your vids, to capture emotion from scenes I had forgotten about it that didn't seem as emotional to me at the time, etc! ! there was so much that was perfect in this, and I love how much you love Oliver.

[@theprincessandthepie]

+luvtheheaven5 aw thank you! he is pretty lovable lol

[@VioletEmerald]

I'm rewatching this vid and falling in love with how you did it all over again!! It's so good. Also, I'm working on a multi-fandom suicidal characters (& their loved ones) vid right now and I think I might want to add in Oliver explaining that his father killed himself, since I have a lot of characters with mothers who committed suicide but no one with a father who did in my vid? But also maybe I should just do Oliver instead, there's so much here I forgot about where he's explicitly suicidal. Could you remind me what episode it is that Laurel explicitly says she won't let him, or what episode it was that Felicity realizes he was planning to die? I mean if it's easy for you. Thank you in advance. And thank you again for sharing these masterpieces of fanvideos with us Arrow fans!

[@humanbeing12319]

What are these type of videos called? I wanna find more of them.

[@theprincessandthepie]

people usually call them edits or tribute vidoes; those are what i search when i'm looking for new ones to watch :)

[@humanbeing12319]

theprincessandthepie thank you so much 😊

[@alessandrabruno4636]

💟

[@Brebrele723]

Your video made me think about Oliver and Laurel. I know they weren't together on screen in present day (except for a one night stands I think). What if he and her had a another shot. Could she have accepted him? FYI, this is coming from a Olicity shipper who watched their couple crash and burn. Aside from my talk about shipping, I just wanted to say your video shows how damaged Oliver is and has become. A great character study/dedication.

[@theprincessandthepie]

thanks!

[@lesbihonesther]

I've never watches the arrow and only ever seen him in the flash but doesn't he die? Like I was going to watch the arrow but then I heard he dies so if that happens then no way in hell am I watching it

[@thedisciples7353]

Witch episode was that Oliver Queen was going to kill his self ?

[@dilay7473]

I'm not sure but somewhere at the end of season 3
