YMMV / These Foolish Things

• Catharsis Factor: Oliver finally calling out Felicity for her invasive and selfish actions acts as this for many of the readers, especially when one considers how the Arrow writers never let him do this on the show proper, no matter how terrible her behavior became.
• Take That, Scrappy!: The entire story is basically one massive Take That! to Felicity's behavior in Season Four of Arrow, whereupon her obsessive need for validation and overall entitled behavior is taken to its logical conclusion, forcing Oliver to break up with her and kick her off the team.
