i think that there’s a chunk of the fandom, not all of it, not even most of it, but a reasonably sized chunk, who want connor to be a bad-boy slut who’s always having to pine away and fight for oliver and be trying to win him back, and for oliver to be a flawless angel cinnamon roll (not to abuse the term because i do love it) instead of recognising either of them as flawed, realistic characters who fuck up and do bad things but at the end of the day are mostly good who love each other a lot

exactly! while oliver is a cinnamon roll, he is not exactly innocent or weak. Like he said things on purpose to hurt connor, he thinks the siblings did kill their parents but still helping annalise and co. and he has his own pride too. I guess the bad boy falls for good guy trope is nice too but seriously it’s overused in coliver fandom, i can’t even find a decent fic these days that didn’t make one of them a total weak-ass that constantly needs reassurance from the other. And i feel like some of them need everything to be perfect all the freaking time, like no that’s not how life works, it’s a mix of good and bad and we need to try to find a balance and that’s what relationship is about and that’s what i think coliver story line should be about

seriously ppl who said “connor makes it all about himself”, like how do you expect him to react? Shrug it off like it’s nothing and pretend that he is not guilty for that at all? Wouldn’t that kind reaction also hurt Oliver? Like he KNEW Connor would be hurt by what he said and i think he is kind of expecting Connor to be upset because it would show Connor care about him, he just didn’t expect connor to be that upset. Like there is no RIGHT reaction here because the whole “i hurt you so you should hurt me back” is not right from the first place and Oliver could have avoid it by not saying anything but he did so both are at fault here stop blame everything on one side jfc
