Octavia’s descent into darkness ; Omon gon oson…all of me for all of us.

#takebackthe100 - Day 1: Favourite Character

Octavia Blake

If there’s one character this show has always done right by - in terms of storylines, character development and plot, that is, not in terms of how kind it was - it is Octavia Blake.

Never forgotten. Always compelling. She steals every scene she’s in, and even though I expected a last-minute retcon to give Clarke the Hero Moment of the finale because Protagonist Privilege, Octavia got to steal that one too.

She damn well deserved it.

Season 7 was such a gift for Octavia.

She got to smile more in 7x02 than in the previous six seasons put together.

She got a family that loved her and treated her the way she deserved.

She got peace. Yeah, she lost that peace for a bit of time, and then Diyoza too, but when the dust settled, she still had peace, she still had her child, she still had her love interest (even if I do personally question her taste in men), and a whole new-old crew of family and friends.

A lot of people are disappointed with the final season. I wasn’t. I had faith in Octavia Blake, and that is a faith that has always proved true. She got a storyline that let her heal, love and be loved, use her wisdom, share her compassion… and save humanity, of course. I couldn’t ask for more than that.

Also, the book was left on Sanctum. If it's really true, then there was literally no point because what Clarke was trying to avoid happened anyway. Think about the enormity of what she did to stop him from handing it over. No way she would just turn tail and run without that book. Not after what she just did to protect it.

I would love for the next episode to have like zero watchers for them to realize what they did

[hopebird123]

This is literally exactly how you make sure your prequel doesn’t get picked up. We should take bets and see if it gets any worse.

Has Jason succeeded in anything but making every single corner of his enormous fandom despise him with ever fiber of their being? The clexa fandom hates him. The linctavia fandom hates him. The Murven fandom hates him. The Bellarke fandom sure as hell hates him now more than ever.

Imagine him thinking his new shitshow will be picked up.

So what exactly was the point of Bellamy being dead, but then him actually being alive, to then have him be actually killed a few episodes later????

WHAT. WAS. THE. FUCKING. POINT.

[hopebird123]

I can’t believe the show let the male lead, the hero of the show in his selflessness and love, die when he was not only ostracized and shunned by everyone he loved, but knowingly killed by his soulmate and dearest friend, who has been shown many times to always choose HIM over the rest of the world. I actually can’t believe it.

This is possibly one of the biggest narrative fuck-ups in the history of television.

[hopebird123]

But like...what was the point, then??? Of Bellamy's entire story??? What was the arc??? A life that was never entirely his and ended with it being even less than that?? Brainwashed???

After everything he did. Everything he went through. The people he loved. And who loved him.

What. Was. The. Point.

[hopebird123]

I see show creators still haven’t learned that deaths like these are NOT the way to go and it will only serve to alienate your viewers.

Seriously. DO. BETTER.

Quick The 100 Rant (9/9/20 spoilers)

I. Literally. Can’t.

Did the writers decide that brainwashing Bellamy would soften the blow of killing him off? Because it didn’t work. It’s so out of character for him that it ruined seven seasons of character development. And it seems like it’ll ruin Octavia’s arc too. Her journey has been to redemption, and although she’s been forgiven by others and herself, she hasn’t gotten it from her brother. So I guess there’s no closure for her either? I’d better see her crying next week.

I understand that Bellamy and Clarke are the head and the heart, and while I feel like it was fitting for Clarke to be the cause of Bellamy’s death (the head finally overpowering the heart), the situation the characters were in to cause his death was just BAD. He's not going to snap out of it before his death? If you were going to kill him, make him actually go out as Bellamy, not some stupid cult follower.

Was this just a giant F*CK YOU to the Bellarke fans? Like, “I’ve teased you for seven seasons and since I wasn’t going to give it to you anyway I’ve decided to kill off half of the pair by giving him a horrible storyline that makes no sense to his character whatsoever.”

I think they’re going to be losing a lot of potential prequel audience.
