#ByeFelicity
Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I thought I’d share one of my recent blog posts in celebration of Avengers coming out this weekend. I’m not a die-hard superhero fan, but Arrow is the one show I keep up with. My favorite character, Felicity Smoak, is leaving at the end of this season, so I wanted to write a little dedication to her.
The character Felicity is based on, Overwatch, is in a wheelchair. There was a several-episode arc in season four where Felicity was in a wheelchair, and the disability representation, while imperfect, meant a lot to me as a college student who had never really seen herself in media. I will always remember those episodes fondly.
Do you have a favorite example of disability representation?

I love Arrow too. I actually liked Felicity, but I got burned out in season 6. The “Olicity” thing got so old.
