6 Reasons Why Oliver Queen Is Bae
comicvine.gamespot.com

Oliver Queen, (aka The Green Arrow) from the movie "The Green Arrow" is some serious crime fighting eye-candy. He wasn't always the hero we've come to know and love, but know, he's almost irresistible. Putting aside the fact that he's in danger like all the time, here are some reasons why Oliver Queen is the ultimate bae.

1. He's incredibly attractive.

I know looks aren't everything, but just look at him. He's fit, he's got the broody/pouty thing down, and he saves Star City all while managing to look like a Calvin Klein model. Plus his tattoos and scars just seem to add to his hotness.

2. He is the Ultimate Candidate for Character Development.

Oliver Queen was the ultimate bad boy, he slept around, partied hard, and didn't care... But after coming home from being through literal Hell (or technically purgatory) he changed. In fact, Oliver Queen and his alter ego the Green Arrow have changed a lot. His love for his city, his family and friends, and Felicity have made Oliver a better man and hero. He's strayed from his partying days and his terrifying torture techniques to become a good man, who just happens to be a hero on the side.

3. His Love for his Sister, Thea.

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats the women in his family. Oliver would do anything for Thea. He's loving, protective, and supportive. He let her become a part of Team Arrow because he sees just how valuable his sister is. Oliver and Thea have been through a lot together, but in the end, they've just become closer. If a man who loves his sister isn't bae material, I don't know what is.

4. His Relationship with Diggle.

John Diggle was the first person Oliver revealed his other identity to, making him the first member of Team Arrow. Diggle started off as Oliver's bodyguard but is now more like a brother to Oliver. They've had their ups and downs, but if anyone can get through to Oliver, it's Diggle. This friendship is a sign of Oliver's loyalty, and who wouldn't want a loyal man?

5. He's Dedicated his Life to Saving his City

And probably, subsequently the world. At first, Oliver used torture and death threats to get what he wanted, but after becoming the Green Arrow, he focuses more on protecting and saving than killing. Along with his team, the Green Arrow does everything they can to save Star City from all kinds of villains. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be pretty happy with a man who's saved countless lives and could like protect me from almost anything.

6. His Love for Felicity

One of the few downsides to Oliver Queen is that he's (sorta) unavailable. I started rooting for Oliver and Felicity the moment he walked into her cubicle with a bullet-ridden laptop. It took them a few seasons to finally see that they were perfect for each other, but when they did, I cried. Oliver loves Felicity more than anything or anyone. He hasn't always been perfect, but everything he's done, he's done to protect her. His love and loyalty to Felicity is the kind every girl dreams of having.

So there it is, six reasons why Oliver Queen is the ultimate bae. His life might be a little (or a lot) dangerous, but a little danger is always fun. Plus, Oliver Queen is gorgeous, loyal, protective, and just plain bad ass. Next time you're on Netflix looking for something to watch, pick "The Green Arrow" and fall in love with Oliver Queen, you won't regret it.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
