warning: depictions + mentions of suicide


I wanted to make an angsty Oliver vid because I'm so tired of characters on arrow ignoring what he's gone through (*cough* captain lance *cough*) and both the show and the fans agreeing with them. Also I'm angry about the writers always talking about his PTSD as if he no longer has it. Anyway, I like how this came out, but because there's so much stuff from the show that is evidence of what Oliver's been through, I ran out of room and had to leave some stuff out, most notably the quote about being a gun that waller points at things she doesn't like, the quote where he's like "i'm the weapon" (which is fun to meta about considering that he names himself after a weapon not one who carries it, and whether that relates to his own self-image), and the quote from the olicity date in 3x01 about not seeing people for people.
