Every time I watch a show that actually does a well-written, not-quite-enemies-but-definitely-not-friends-to-colleagues-to-friends-to-partners-to-most-important-relationship-in-their-lives-to-lovers slow burn arc, I get angry all over again remembering what we could have had with Bellarke

So I’ve been reading a few romance novels lately and one thing that I have come to realize is that I really don’t like insta-romance that much. When characters get together after a few days or proclaim their love within a matter of weeks it just feels unrealistic and rushed to me. 
I don’t know if it’s exactly “slow burn” that I like (because I don’t know how others may define that), but I know I like when the characters initially meet, yeah maybe they notice like “oh they’re hot”, but they don’t act on it, and then as they get to know each other over weeks or months, there is pining... circling... I want to feel frustrated that they’re not together, so that when that first kiss comes or they finally get together, I’m like “YES!!!!!!!!”

it's so tragic funny that while i was watching t100, jroth was so adamant that there was nothing romantic there with bellarke, that it literally made me doubt what was very clearly being written as romantic (and it actually was. like, we know this now. it has been confirmed).
looking back, bellarke could have kissed at so many different points in the show, without changing anything else but having them kiss, and it would have made perfect sense. it would have flowed. it would have aligned with their relationship development.
just think about it. 1x09. unity day. is this a bit early? yes. but do they have the chemistry? yes. and have they had sufficient build up for two characters to have their first kiss? yes. honestly more than a lot of ships that happen in the first season of their show. especially since day trip just happened! plus, the flirting during unity day was...not subtle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
listen...she wanted to kiss him here so bad. seriously though. clarke could have and that would have been a very natural progression of this scene. it would have especially fit the early drop ship days vibe.
(or you could add in a scene where clarke finds him later, now sufficiently buzzed, they flirt some more, then she kisses him, and bellamy's like, "woah, woah, princess, what are you doing?" but he's smiling and she just shrugs with a smile and goes in to kiss him again, saying "having fun", and bellamy says, "you're drunk" and clarke is exasperated saying, "well you told me to!" and bellamy laughs, very amused, and from the look in his eyes, you can tell that he is also very very VERY smitten.)
if you still think that's too soon, yeah, i tend to agree. i love the idea of s1 bellarke in fanfic, but for the show, i prefer a bit more of slowburn. so let's push it to season 2. no, that's not a true slowburn, but still, you had to wait a little for it, and a lot of shows do this successfully. so anyway. 2x05. post iconic reunion hug, shot in a very romantic way i might add.
Tumblr media
bellamy is watching clarke sleep by the fire, she wakes, we have some platonic gazing with firelight flickering across their faces...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we all know how the scene goes. he reassures her. he confides in her. she reassures him back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm sorry, but the way they are looking at each other here? dude, if they had been sitting any closer, they could have kissed. i tend to think it would be more in character for clarke to initiate a first kiss with bellamy in s1-4, but in this scene, i 100% could see bellamy going in to kiss her after this.
(and yes, i'm aware that octavia was pretending to be asleep this whole time, but honestly, her reaction to them would have added some much needed levity to the situation. octavia is a bellarke shipper, after all. also, some people might say that this would make clarke's "i love you" to finn less believable, but i disagree. you can have feelings for two people at the same time. i mean, she literally kisses lxa very quickly after finn's death sooo yeah...plus, it would have made the bellarke angst of s2b/3 even better.)
maybe you still want more of a slowburn though, and that is perfectly fair, which brings me to s3, which in my opinion would have been one of the best seasons for canon bellarke. alright. 3x05. hakeldama yup! it was prime time for a first kiss. i mean, all the build up of s1/2 obviously, but also...this had just happened:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but anyway...back to hakeldama. this is the peak of their angst. nothing tops it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but then, after the heat of the moment, the softness comes in. as it always does with these two. they wind up sharing the softest, most romantic scene in this entire show (fight me).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that last gif, man...at this point, i think they would both go in for the kiss. mutually initiated. god, it would have fit the scene so well!
(some people might say that this would invalidate clarke's love for lxa, considering everything that happens two eps later, but again, i disagree. like i said before, you can have feelings for two people at the same time. people might also say that this would undermine bellamy's relationship with gina, but you know what? the whole fucking narrative undermined that relationship, so i really don't care. i loved gina, but if clarke can kiss lxa right after finn's death, then bellamy can kiss clarke right after gina's death. this show is messy, okay? and bellarke are messy as fuckkkk.)
still think it would be too early? okay. season 4 then. very recently, i realized how easy making bellarke canon in s4 would have been, holyyyy. starting off in 4x03. bellamy is sleeping on the couch and clarke watches him sleep with the softest smile on her face (i'm still crying about this btw). i can't find the right gif, but you all know the smile! then clarke is struggling so bellamy wakes up and is there to support her, making a declaration that has romantic undertones, it just does!
Tumblr media
and then clarke lowkey makes a move on him lmao. for real though?? what was this???
Tumblr media
i would only change one thing here. he takes a seat beside her first and then puts his hand on her shoulder. so that way they are eye level (aka kissing level).
when she lifts her head off their hands, their faces would be so close. maybe bellamy would tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, not realizing how intimate that kind of thing is until he does it. i could see them kissing here. clarke would initiate. although, i think it would be so much better if it was just an almost kiss. bellamy tells her she should get some sleep right before it happens.
and then in 4x06...
Tumblr media
it's actually so funny how she says that and then she's like 'oh no. that sounded like it implied something. i did not mean to imply.'
Tumblr media
and bellamy's over here like 'omg she's implying.'
Tumblr media
which leads to him literally about to confess. i'm sorry, but there is no other way to interpret....
Tumblr media
and of course clarke interrupts, but this is the moment, you guys! this could have been the moment.
Tumblr media
right after this, before roan's interruption, there's a pause, and then clarke kisses him. it's a quick one. the kind of kiss where she has both of her hands on his face and he's so stunned by it that his eyebrows raise in surprise and before he can even process that it's happened, she's pulled back and they're looking at each other, a bit in awe, both surprised that she just did that.
then in 4x09, we actually get to see the reunion!! and it's the running kind. just like 2x05. only this time, after they run to each other and hug, bellamy pulls back and takes her face in his hands to examine her for injuries, and once he realizes she's okay, probably after she reassures him and puts a hand on his face, then he kisses her, but they both go in for it (and i cry).
in 4x13, i would change the location of the head and heart scene. somewhere more private...a bedroom (!). so, after this moment:
Tumblr media
and bellamy turns away, upset, clarke pulls him back to face her and takes his face in her hands. his eyes are watery. so are hers. she kisses him. one thing leads to another and we get the sex scene we deserved!! then they're lying in bed, cuddling. bellamy's head is on her chest and clarke's playing with his hair. that's when she decides to ruin the moment lmao and continues the head and heart convo with "we've been through a lot together, you and i." i can just see it so well. they would shift so that they're laying on their sides, facing one another. maybe clarke's fingers play with the hair at the nape of his neck now. when she says he has a big heart, her palm rests on his bare chest. when she says he has to use his head too, her fingers of her other hand shift from his neck to his temple. when bellamy says, "i've got you for that," clarke kisses him. their foreheads stay touching for a few breathes, then she pulls back to look at him and says that raven's premonition came true. like...am i crazy or would this have worked so well?? literally the same dialogue but...they're together.
(plus, this could have led to clarke raising bellamy's kid--august--along with madi over those six years they are separated, i'm just saying!)
maybe you still think that season 5 was the ultimate time for bellarke to go canon, and you know what? i honestly might just agree. the set up was there with clarke calling bellamy every day for 2,199 days. the potential was there. madi was the biggest bellarke shipper i swear. she wanted them to be together even more than all of us combined i think. for a bellarke kiss though, you would almost have to drastically change the course of events...unless you go with 5x13 and blecho have broken up earlier in the season. after clarke wakes bellamy from cryo (still crying about this moment, yeah!), i could see them having a moment.
Tumblr media
before jordan walks in, maybe clarke helps bellamy out of the pod, and once they're both standing, bellamy would finally make his move. instead of bellamy asking why they're the only ones there, clarke does. bellamy tells her, "we'll figure it out, clarke, but first, i have something i wanna say." maybe he does something soft, like take her hand or brush her hair behind her ear. clarke is staring at him, not quite believing what is happening right now, but deep down, she knows. he tells her, "those six years without you were the worst of my life and i don't wanna waste any more time." clarke is wearing a watery smile, still not quite sure she believes what she's hearing. she tells him, "i radioed you every day you were gone." bellamy's whole face lights up and he tells her, "i know." their foreheads touch. both of his hands are cradling her cheeks, her hands are cradling his wrists. she whispers his name. it's the kind of kiss where the time before the kiss is excruciatingly long, but once they kiss, it becomes much more urgent as they finally give in to all of the feelings. god. would have been ICONIC.
plus, they both looked absolutely gorgeous in this scene. hello???
Tumblr media
would have been one hell of an aesthetically pleasing first kiss holyyyy. then jordan interrupts and makes some comment about how his mom and dad were right all along :)
if not season 5 though...moving onto season 6. 6x10 to be exact. i know i've said that other times were the ultimate time for canon bellarke, but this episode is too! or right after it in 6x11. there are two scenarios that i see playing out here. (in both, blecho have broken up previously.)
in the first scenario, it's 6x10. as soon as bellamy saves clarke and she wakes up, instead of going in to hug him, i swear when i was watching it that i really thought she was going in for the kiss. that was the one and only time where i legitimately thought they were about to kiss while watching. it had never made more sense than in that moment. even with all of jroth's attempted brainwashing, my mind was stronger in that moment. it saw it coming. or at least i thought i did lmao. i know they didn't actually kiss.
but listen.
they really should have.
clarke is literally looking at him like this:
Tumblr media
come on, man.
i usually say that bellamy should be the one initiating post s4, but in this moment, it would have been clarke.
and if not then, the other scenario is that they hug as usual. clarke gets some rest as usual. but when she wakes up in 6x11 and bellamy is at her side, they are in a separate private tent. they have that same conversation that they do. they argue about clarke risking her life again. but then...
Tumblr media
he tells her, "hey, i just got you back." he says it firm but soft. i see bellamy initiating the kiss here, especially since he's almost lost her twice now, but once clarke realizes that this is really happening, that after all this time he wants her just as much as she wants him, she would for sure be the one initiating everything else. she would be sitting in his lap making out with him so fast jfsldkjfaslk and you know what? good for her!! they either just kiss a lot here, laying down on the bed, all tangled up together, and then they're interrupted, or maybe, just for once, they're allowed to be happy, uninterrupted, and they sleep together. either way. natural progression.
that's really the point of this longwinded post. so many times it could have happened. all of them a nature progression of the story that was being told.
then comes season 7...
there are no words.
6x13 left them off in a perfect place...
Tumblr media
the set up was literally right there! they should have kissed in 7x01!! they should have lived happily ever after with madi in a seaside cabin situated in a field of gold!!

I just wanna know why Zutara has so many connections just for nothing to happen!! Not even an acknowledgement of developing feelings. It reminds me of Bellarke from The 100, 7 seasons of pure bait😭 It would be one thing if we took one scene and just ran with it, but there are several scenes and too many times things are framed using a romantic lens/formula that has been well established in other media. Fanfics and fan art keep me sane though, I need some recs
This is what I’m thinking about at 3 am when I can’t sleep

The way you ONLY ship bad boys/good girls who act as nurses/moral compasses/punching bag/psychiatrist (are you still in high school ? sorry the handsome popular boy never noticed you), I know you could never ship a female antagonist with the male hero/anti-hero.
Assuming an individual's age based on their taste in sailing is just childish and deeply stupid. By doing this, you just look immature, which you are undeniably saying / doing such things. Don't have anything else to do with your time but piss off people who are just enjoying their ships in peace ?
Tumblr media
I don't owe you anything, but I still want to point out (for those who are interested) that I'm 22 years old and I'm studying modern literature at university.
Also, how hateful and stupid do you have to be to say something as dumb as :
"sorry the handsome popular boy never noticed you"
Tumblr media
I appreciate these kinds of messages, because they only prove that the anti are real degenerates (yes I won't weigh my words because I'm pissed). But obviously the only reason you allow yourself to say such horrible things is because you hide under cover of anonymity in order to spread your hatred and negativity.
Just for information, in reality, there is rarely a "handsome popular boy" in high school, or in any type of school.
On the other hand, free and amusing anecdote, and just to make your big mouth shut, there was indeed one of "handsome popular boy", but in my college. And yes, he had noticed me. But I simply decided to refuse his interest, despite the consternation of all my friends at the time. (believe me or not, it's up to you)
Tumblr media
Then, as for the fact that apparently I'm not able to ship a female antagonist with a hero / an anti-hero, ladies and gentlemen, since this is an opportunity to introduce you to other of my loved ships, here is a playlist :
I specify that in this playlist, there are Thomas and Lucille, from the movie Crimson Peak, but I also ship Thomas with the heroine Edith. I also specify that although I like Galavant & Madalena, I still prefer Galavant with Princess Isabella. Basically, a nice and a nice set. I also placed Wednesday and Tyler there, simply because Wednesday is an anti-heroine capable of horrible acts and certainly not a "good girl" and Tyler is basically a victim and not a vilain. Also, an inverted version of Darklina or Aleks is the summoner of light and Alina the summoner of darkness, simply because that possibility excites me madly ! 🤩
Also, your bullshit of only shipping bad boys with good girls, how does it work for LGBT ships ?
youtube
youtube
youtube
youtube
And now here's a playlist with some ships (because it is impossible to list them all because there are so many of them) of heroin / girls with good guys (Those who follow me will know that among them we can count Stydia / on which I have already published several times elsewhere, so blah blah the delirium of I only ship good girls with bad boys / and Bellarke) :
By the way, most of my ships are not a question of "good girls who act as nurses/moral compasses/punching bag/psychiatrist" but simply and generally reminders of Beauty and the Beast. Stories of redemption and forgiveness. I will not develop more, the real ones know.
Last little thing, the next time I receive a message like this I delete it purely and simply. I only answered because it was an opportunity to show new ships to those who follow me, and respond at least once to this type of bullshit, never to be tempted to do so again, for I would have the satisfaction of this answer.
And to end on a high note ! Dear Anon :

bellarke not being being endgame after 6 years of beautiful buildup, growth and development and obviously leading to endgame until jroth did a complete 180 are the reason I have trust issues. because I was so sure they were endgame and I'll never make that mistake again with a couple!!

fic asks
Thanks to @septemberrie for tagging me!
How many works do you have on ao3? 7
What’s your total ao3 word count? 30.187
What fandoms do you write for? Just Fate: the Winx Saga at the moment.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
You haven't told me anything (that I didn't already know)
You found me dressed in black (hiding way up at the back)
Let’s put some light into our lives (but keep the storm that’s in your eyes)
The dead of the winter of my life (in the middle of the summertime)
It’s only war if there’s a winner (it’s only hell if there’s a sinner)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do. Because yes, I write for me, but if I didn't I want the engagement with people who like the same thing as me, I wouldn't have to post my stories. I like thanking the people who take time to leave a comment, because it's not common and it's gotten less and less since the show got canceled.
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? It's only war if there's a winner, I'd say.
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hmm...toss up between You haven’t told me anything and I won’t let my demons win? I haven't really written overtly happy endings, just 'we're in a decent place right now' endings.
Do you get hate on fics? I haven't, no.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not so far. I don't think I will ever write fully explicit content, but I might dabble into something a bit more suggestive at one point, who knows?
Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? No. They're usually not my jam, because I'm canon compliant to a fault.
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Stolen as in someone else claimed to have written it, no. Not that I know of.
Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes, but without my permission and I believe it's since been taken down. I prefer to keep my works in English because that's the only way I have some control over how my words and ideas are interpreted.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have not, but I did collaborate with @rivusa for the Fate Reverse Big Bang this year! I'm not saying no to co-writing something in the future, but I am very particular about my writing and the things I like and dislike, so it would have to be the right match.
What’s your all-time favorite ship? The first one that comes to mind is Bellarke, which is funny because I was never really in the The 100 fandom or created any content for them, but God, their scenes just hit so hard. It's also definitely the ship I'm most disappointed about in terms of how it was handled in canon (that's some bullshit, man).
What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I pretty much write one thing at a time and then post, so while I have a document of snippets that I may or may not use at some point, I don't really have any abandoned WIPs that were ever intended for posting. I guess I would have to say a plot I was developing for an original novel at some point that I barely wrote anything for but do still like the idea of. I'm not suited to longer stories, though, so I don't think I'll ever write a book.
What are your writing strengths? Dialogue is the one I feel confident enough in to throw out there. And maybe subtle intimacy? Like, establishing emotional connection through small developments. So the really slow slow burn, I guess.
What are your writing weaknesses? I don't think I'm very good at composition. I do have a full picture in my mind of what scenes look like, but I'm usually so focused on the dialogue and the impact of it on the characters that it takes me significant effort to go back and describe things like movement and setting. Oh, and @septemberrie (love you😘) consistently tells me to add more internal monologue in at least one spot in my fics.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Fine by me, but if it's an existing language, I think it's a writer's responsibility to make sure it's correct. So if I didn't speak the language fluently, I'd always ask a native for a check.
First fandom you wrote for? CSI:Miami
Favorite fic you’ve written? I'm torn between two, but I think based on the fact that it's the fic that got me to share some of my writing for the first time in 10 years, I'm gonna have to go with You haven’t told me anything.
Tagging @medusanova, @leadingrebel and @amchara if they want to, but anyone else feel free!

A cuddlebuddy for Bellamy
Fandom: The 100
Ship: Bellarke // Bellamy/Clarke
Rating: T
Wordcount: 68.3k
Chapters: 8
Status: Complete
Tags: AU – canon divergence, hurt/comfort, nightmares, angst, developing friendship
People sleep better with something by their side to hold on to. Well… Bellamy is also just a person, who maybe needs something to hold on to during the night… And Clarke may just have the idea to help him with that!
Nightmares and trauma are daily bread on the ground, and both Clarke and Bellamy need to learn how to cope with them.

hi! so i've recently finished the 100 very late i know and ahh! i've gotten to love bob and eliza as well after watching interviews of them im so happy theyre married they look so in love (i say this like i didnt spend the last 3 weeks of my life obsessing over them LMAO) and i was rly surprised to see that they kept denying hating the romantic bellarke agenda? especially in the earlier seasons, but it was SO obvious, to me at least, that they were the main ship of the show... i scoured the internet for reasons why but all i could get was that the fandom hates jroth and the fandom would like to bury jroth alive SDJHFDSHJ but yeah! still rly curious and ik you were actively in the fandom during the time so if you could just briefly explain i would be vvvvv grateful
Okay... I'm gonna try and give a bit of a run down of the history of beliza and bellarke and jroth and clexa and how that all influenced things. Keep in mind I wasn't in the fandom from the start so the beginning is second hand recounts.
Okay so from the start bellarke was obviously intended, they were canon in the books but clearly with the Finn thing and everything else they were going for a more slow burn kinda vibe which was good obviously. Now this is where the bellarke denial started, but it was more casual there. Like a playfull not trying to give away the slow burn or surprise (this is very typical for slow burn ships and that's why I love the Pates for how they are handling jiara). So all was well in the house.
At this point Bob and Eliza were really good friends so that wasn't a problem. At one point apparently Devon kinda let it slip that they were actually in a fwb kinda situation at some point during the early season. I never saw first hand proof of this but it was a known fact amongst the fandom and I find likely given where they ended up.
Now, I'm not 100% on the order of event here but the following happened over s2/s3. Two major things that changed the fate and reception of bellarke forever.
The first being clexa. Now, from a story telling pov clexa was never going to last and Lexa's fate was always sealed. But I'm not going to go too much into that whole thing. But obviously there was alot of hype around Lexa and that ship. Which Jason loved, that man is driven by ego and having thousands of people up his ass fuel him. So he shifted his focus to them, knowing full well he was going to kill Lexa. And then when the backlash hit he kept pandering to them - putting little Lexa mentions in to keep the viewer ship, to keep people talking about his show. And by result of this the bellarke denial came in strong and their romantic development or story like was put on hold.
Now meanwhile it seems beliza had a falling out, Bob started dating his long term gf Aryn and they would not attend cons together. Also time to double down on the bellarke denial. Only this time it was legit (not that bellarke wasn't happening or intended, but they didn't like it and didn't want it to happen) we got the infamous 'bellake shit' quote from Eliza, which she insisted she actually said 'ship', even tweeted it (has since then once happily married admitted that she said shit lol) And yeah while we were still getting the on screen hints it seemed no one was rooting for it personally.
Then. The tide turns. Bob and Aryn has broken up. And we hear an announcement. Bob and Eliza are going to a con together?? Wait. what? And this con. Let me tell you. Changed the world. They were best friends again. Now, I am not an irl people shipper, there have been very few that I have seen and speculated before they were together and these two were one. I can't remember exactly why but there was something in the air before that and I was sus. And then there were a few things, like Eliza was saying how her favourite song was Ophelia and then she turns to Bob and says 'you must be so sick of hearing it i play it so much' and I was hmm because are they spending that much time together? Bob was wearing a bunch of mardigras necklaces and when Eliza said she wanted one and a fan overheard bob saying to her something 'you'll have to give me something later for one' and then after break Eliza had some ??? Which people freaked out about but not enough in my opinion. And then the fact that (actually this might have been a later con my timeline is messy its been a while) Eliza was wearing an engagement ring and straight up told people she was engaged when they asked. People assumed it was to the guy who play mccrery because there was rumours of them dating but they hadn't been seen together in ages.
And then most importantly they were now pro-bellarke. Talking excitedly about the scenes. Saying themselves are sometimes confused because the script will saying something like 'bellamy looks at her lovingly.' but then Jroth continues to deny things. they weren't to the level of it now but they were for sure making it clear that jroth was gaslighting a fandom lol.
Anyway moving on to one quite morning, I hadn't touch social media all morning as it did laundry and when I finally take a break the fandom is imploding - thankfully I had only missed it by like 15minutes. But Bob and Eliza has both tweeted that they had gotten married with a pic of their hands on their wedding day. Now I instantly believed it - oh yeah it's all coming together. But there was all this shock because it seemingly came out of no where. People thought they had been hacked, and then other cast would congratulate them and then they were hacked. Certain people were saying its a cover because Eliza and Alycia actually got married, and other were saying Bob and Eliza were homophobic for getting married during pride month. But at the end of the day it was all true, there were married and it was happily ever after.
But for some reason this seemed to piss off JRoth and he seemed to get so much worse. At one point during the filming of season 7 i think (i get confused about later seasons it could have been 6 or 8) Bob and Jason unfollowed each other and we though it was hilarious until we realised what it could have meant. Recently beliza revealed that the bellarke get together was actually written, in a place that so many people has speculated and it would have made sense but at the last minute it was taken out.
It seemed like Jason didn't like the beliza was together, he was having more and more issues with Bob and Jason just didn't do bellarke out of spite. Did that stupid murder out of spite and gave a pandering ending for clexas out of spite.
Once the show was over beliza have been very open about how bellarke was always planned from the beginning and they don't understand why it never happened.
Any way I've been out of it for a while so I'm a bit foggy on the detail these days but that's the guts of it. Anyone is free to add

this surprise ending i’m depending on (could be the story of another us): (3,3k words) (this one is my personal favorite soakoskas)
Buck is on a date. And Eddie is heartbroken. That much he knows. That's not the problem. Well, it is a problem, but not the problem at the moment. The problem is that he's heartbroken in a non-tragic way so he doesn't know how to make himself feel better besides moping around in his living room. no dialogue, Eddie is pining and Buck shows up at his house after a date(this doesn't have a happy ending tho)
tick tock goes the clock: (1k words) (constantly forget i posted this one oskaoksaoksa)
Buck always calls back. The lack of reaction makes Eddie move faster. Scream louder. But nothing changes. The storm is raging. The clock is ticking. or Buck gets struck by lightning. And Eddie is counting down the seconds.
fifth most words: I will never get over you (The 100/Bellarke): (1,5k words)
this one is a spec fic for the finale of season 5 and i haven't looked at it since i posted it in 2018 and almost orphan it every few months, but she's still there. I don't like her tho oskaoskaoskasokaosk
fic with the least words: it's tick tock goes the clock again because she's a tiny thing i wrote in the middle of the night because I couldn't stop thinking about this particular scenario
I genuinely have no idea who to that because I saw so many of these in my dash today, so i don't know, i'm not gonna tag anyone

I decided to rewatch The 100 because I gave up on finding substitute and ended up watching four episodes in one go. And it's just so good. I wept like 5 times during the pilot episode just because I kinda knew it by heart while only watching it maybe 2 or 3 times before. Nowadays I can't watch anything without getting on my phone after some time, but with The 100 I completely forgot that the outside word existed. I wished any other show could make me feel that way.
We have great characters, amazing writing, moral dilemmas and grey morality. I love how each character just makes sense, that I can understand each of their reasoning, I love that they fuck up and do straight up bad things and how they develop. I know it's all gonna be ruined in the last seasons, but the first ones are just so good.
And don't even get me started on Bellarke. NO ONE does it like them. I miss good slow burns, I really can't find a ship that would make me feel the way they made me feel.
I just really miss the 100 and all the things it could have been.

The final season ruined it because she killed the person she loves yet before she never could hurt him make it make sense.
I mean, you have to remember that tv shows and movies often disappoint.
We think they're telling a good story.
They think they're making money and currying influence in hollywood.
Two different agendas here.
Hollywood doesn't actually care about the story. Some artists/producers/directors do, but that's not the business of hollywood. The business of hollywood is making money.
Season 7 swerved from the previous six seasons of character and narrative development.
The last season doesn't fit with the first six. It's closer to episode 1, the pilot, to be honest. Since I just watched it. I could see THAT storyline ending up like season 7. Too busy. Lacking in depth. Flat characters.
But if it had stayed like that, I wouldn't have kept watching. I woulda binged the ones that were on netflix and then stopped watching.
The way I look at it, because the last season doesn't fit with the longer term narrative, I have to sort through the season to find the subplots that make sense.
It's clear that he wanted bellarke out. He erased bellamy completely and in so doing weakened all the characters whose stories connected to him, and that includes Clarke, Octavia and Echo.
Which is super unfortunate for the story because it's three of the most important characters since season 1. Clarke, Bellamy and Octavia.
They did what they always do and had Raven step in to take over, because the development was there for the character, and she was the fourth most important, but the story didn't support it.
I HATED how they erased bellamy, it was terrible. A terrible decision. But it was even worse what they did to Clarke because her storyline essentially retroactively made the entire six seasons before become pointless, irrelevant and made the entire story of the delinquents into the story of villains and failures.
I do not know why he chose to throw the characters and story under the bus, but he thought he was getting a new show out of it, and I am very very satisfied that he didn't.

I love how both Stydia & Jiara have a subtlety in their development and it's not some 'in your face,' forced recognition of what their feeling at every moment.
-I think of the Stydia car scene where Lydia appears jealous of him & Malia and it's never addressed or confirmed & viewers who dislike them fail to notice or discredit scenes like that. I think some shows & movies tend to tell you rather than show you with couple development sometimes.
And it makes it so much greater to watch! But luckily we didn't have to wait 6 seasons-I remember feeling crazy for some things I would notice w/Stiles & Lydia and thinking it was all in my head. Have loved Jiara since S1!
They are really similar in that way (bellarke was like this as well, which again the stydia > bellarke > jiara pipeline holds true). Scenes which are open for interpretation or on their own wouldn't be very significant but add up to a bigger picture. I think a lot of audiences do want to be explicitly told which is why you get people who say jiara came out of nowhere despite there being plenty of hints.
Honestly, if the jiara development in S3 was slower and we only got subtle nods here and there we still would have been absolutely rabid. That stuff is so exciting.
Stydia was particularly good at making you feel insane because Jeff would drop a random hint and then never pick it up again, so you ended up gaslighting yourself 😭. I'm so glad jiara has been treated very differently in the story and also by the writers.

you know what?? not only did t100 s7 not give me bellarke but it also had octavia finally develop into a good person and admit that beating bellamy was fucked up only for her to only ever say this to echo of all people (lmfao what) and apologize to bellamy in a letter he never receives because he fucking dies????? jroth really took bellarke and the blakes away from me...that's so messed up, man. truly.

One of the nice things about Bellarke's ending on the show is that I can take comfort in knowing that in the book, at least, they end up together. The problem is that the relationship on the show is so much more beautiful, and they ruined it with season 7 of a force. I think it's the biggest ship trauma I've ever had. Reylo comes right after.
Again, I console myself with the thought that Bellarke's counterparts in the book are together and the actors got married.
The end of the series for me is season 5 ! Without hesitation after the carnage of season 7...
Damn, we were so close to having Bellarke canon after season 6 and the crazy development of the relationship between the two...
