Why does E give you the creeps? I feel like at the time, she was more openly supportive and enthusiastic around Clexa and ADC was the one who was more cagey and was obviously a straight girl who just didn’t really know what to say/didn’t want to say the wrong thing. I have always loved Alycia, but that’s how it came across to me. I’ve been out of the fandom for awhile and am getting back into it so I’m out of the loop. Is it because she married Bob Morley?

Oh no, I couldn't care less that she married Bob. My issue with Eliza (which I've gone into deeper detail about before so I'm just gonna be more brief here) is because of BM's ex's allegations involving cheating, gaslighting, and manipulation that E was party to, and then how E has since treated Clexa and Clexa fans. She went from championing Clexa to claiming she can't really remember scenes very well? Ok. She went from calling it "bell*rke shit" that will probably never happen because that's just not Clarke and his relationship is, to telling his paying Cameo stans that oh no, no reeeeally there were these secret few times that blork almost did happened and it was in the script and they actually built whole sets for it!!! But gee golly gosh it just got cut for some reason and we super don't know how that happened! But it totally was going to happen! Blork was real!! Source: Trust Me Bro.

There's a lot more to it involving her charities and the fact that she milks hers and his stans for all the cash they can get, but in simplest terms, the writing is on the wall about who she is and how she conducts herself as a person, and I'm not a fan.

As for Alycia, if in the future she does something to piss me off I'll drop her too. Celebs get held on a pedestal way too often and forgiven for being objectively bad people just because fans like their artform. I don't care to be that way. That being said, I never held it against Alycia for not being outspoken about Clexa, that's just not who she is. She's never effusive or public on her opinions on much of anything aside from like... what flowers she likes. To her, it's a job with a clock in and clock out time, and I can respect that. I appreciate it, actually. She's always been kind and gracious with fans who have met her, or so I've heard, and that's all I think a celeb really needs to be.

Personally I never found her to be cagey per se, just quiet and kept to her own lane. She said herself that because she isn't a part of the queer community, she never felt comfortable speaking out on it because it felt like she'd be speaking over the voices of the fans and queer people who were using that time for speaking their truth and pain. While some held that against her or felt let down, I didn't because in more ways than not, she was right. There wasn't much she could've added to the conversation that wasn't already being said by people who were actually the ones hurt by what happened with Lexa and the bury your gays trope proliferation of 2016. And since then, she's shown her support. She came back to a show that she had left behind for years just to give fans closure, and she did it in a way that didn't suck money from fans by bleeding their wallets dry through endless conventions.

It's because of those very same feelings in conjunction with seeing how E has handled the whole blork/Clexa situation in recent years that has let me know all that "support" E was throwing our way was disingenuous anyway. She doesn't get to keep those points from me. Honestly I'd prefer celebs to just stay tf quiet on issues rather than virtue signal and fake support for their own interests, only to eventually show their true colors and act mystified and victimized when people feel fooled and pissed off 🤷‍♀️

#anon #not to mention when 307 happened that was like riiiight around when the phone hacking thing happened #and she just went completely media silent for a year #which again I respect because that was her real personal life and she deserved to have privacy after all that #I'm not of the mindset that celebs owe fans an explanation or support in something they had no control overt #especially if it means breaking their own personal need for privacy and time away

"GO AWAY BLOKES" like does this person really think if i was blorke fan i'd write 3k words about Clarke making Lexa cum? Why would me giving Clarke a dick make me a b/e/llarke fan when i dont even mention him at all?

Listen its one thing to be an annoying hateful ass on people's fics, but like, tell me my writing sucks, criticize my character intepretation, call me ugly!

If youre gonna be a hateful shit, at least dont add stupid to it!

#ignoreme.jpg #its like that one time someone called my Clarke's sex toy or something #like bitch i wish!!!!#being annoying and an idiot thats a horrible combo #im either annoying or an idiot but never both at the same time!!

bellarke is honestly such a phenomenon i’m never gonna understand you know and all this blorke party after the “another person who she loves, another part of her soul” lines calls for a rant so here it comes, buckle up

what’s in the script is cannon (well not really and not in all cases but let’s say so for now) so clarke griffin cannonically loves bellamy blake. and the only question i have is, anyone surprised? anyone didn’t notice? anyone had any doubts? don’t unfollow me or don’t get your hopes up yet, it’s not a probellarke post, it’s just stating the facts. of fucking course she loves him. damn sure she finds him a piece of her soul.

is it platonic kind of love? i don’t really think so becasue of s4. not because she stood too close to him for a platonic friend (i’m still laughing at that one edit) and not because she didn’t shot at him and not because she told him he has a big heart. but, well, because she drugged him, kidnapped him, chained him up, risked his life, risked his biggest love life, volunteered to hop out of the bunker (she wanted locked so badly) right after he did, repeatedly tried to steal his attention while he was focusing on surviving the world end and radioed him for 6 years. that shit is not platonic. that’s not what you do to your friends (i hope).

but that’s also not what you do to your boyfriend material (i hope). that is not the platonic kind of love but that is not the romantic kind of love either. that, my lovely audience, is the obssesive kind of love. the unhealthy possessive kind of love. you know, the i’ll-lock-you-up-in-my-basement kind of love. and that is the way clarke has loved bellamy at least for a season and half now since he was the only one co-taking the blame for all the Bad Things™ they’ve done together. he’s been there in the delinquents camp, he’s been there in the mouth weather, he’s been there in the s3 (we don’t talk about this one), he understands.

she needs to keep him close for her own sanity (credits: bob morley), she needs to have someone to lean on and he’s the last one of her partners in crime still standing by her side. therefore, he’s a part of her soul. because, in case you haven’t noticed yet, clarke is not a self sufficient leader anymore. she’s incomplete and her soul is shattered to pieces. even her own fandom seems to picture her as a part of the ship (i did my research: 9 out of 10 recent posts tagged ‘clarke griffin’, asks excluded, are bellarke posts) rather than her own person.

so yeah, clarke griffin loves bellamy blake and it’s a cannon. but does it mean that bellarke is a cannon? ekhm

first of all, for bellarke to be a romantic cannon bellamy and clarke need to romantically interact. like, how do i say it, k *ss? f*ck? literally do anything more than hugging and looking at each other?

and second thing, my favorite thing, for bellarke to be a romantic cannon bellamy needs to love clarke. and my question is, why would he? for literally never choosing him over any love interest she had? for leaving him after he tears-in-his-eyes-begged her to stay? for never caring about his wellbeing? for using and manipulating him multiple times? for, ekhm, unhealthy obsessing over him recently?

well, maybe despite all of this but 04x11 is where clarke crossed the line, risking the only thing he’s ever really cared about: risking the blakes.

for bellarke to be a romantic cannon bellamy needs to completely forgive clarke for how she doubted his little sister, how she was ready to sacrifice her and how she almost made him lose her, after all the effort she knew he has made to keep her alive since the moment she was born for absolutely no reason (i mean humanrace my ass, we all know she opened the damn door and the human race is alive and well), knowing how much octavia means to him and how he would always pick her first, and i mean, how could he? how could you expect him to?

it’s not clarke griffin’s feelings you should be insecure about in your little abusive ship universe

#anti bellarke #honestly bellarke is so 2k15 #blorke #anti blorke #bellamy blake #clarke griffin #anti clarke griffin #anti the 100 writers #another one who she loves #i'm not saying braven is the only good solution but it is #braven jbc #braven #it took me so long to write this all down #im more done than eliza taylor

Funny you calling out homophobic behaviour when your behaviour right now is outright racist. A man of colour, and not the first was killed for a white person's pain and you are acting like this. That is racist.

Sweetie, I stopped watching the show after they killed Lincoln. You’re trying to tell me the show/writing is racist, we been knew. It has been racist and queer bating and shitty, and that’s why I stopped watching it. YOU are the one who has kept supporting their racist, queer bating shit, watching all these years.

So you’ll excuse me if I don’t shed tears for a character being killed who, by the way, is played by an abuser.

I don’t give a shit about the show, like I said I stopped watching, but it’s a little bit funny seeing all the blorkes crying now that the tables have turned, even saying Clexas should be supporting them, when they put so many young queer fans through hell for years.

Honest q here and thanks. Did CW really queerbait the 'supercorp' fandom? I stopped watching after s2. What I thought was happening, the fans pushed this ship and it was never really hinted at on the show. The people involved with the exception of KM were pretty shitty, but overall this is CW and you can't really expect them to give you what you want, The 100 wouldn't give the blorks what they wanted and it was obviously never in the show. Though it's a good cause they're donating to. https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/3578184

I mean, CW is a whole mess and I stopped watching shows on that network after 307. I only watched SG season 1 tbh so I have no idea the context of how it was portrayed that relationship. However, even if there is nothing to say romantic, no one deserves to be mocked and called toxic, like these so-called writers from that show have been doing. And no one is demanding the writers to write what viewers want, but simply really think what they are doing with the representation they want to portray on-screen and do their research so it really is authentic and not falling into the many tropes that exist.

It's not only them tho. CW has a whole history of using LGBT fans, from Lexa to the SPN disaster, to this current situation with SC and let's not even talk about Lackacies and other shows from that network. CW considers their rep outstanding for the bare minimum and no one should be watching - at least legally - that network ever again.

I'm glad they are using their energy to make some donations but tbh I would have stopped watching since the disrespect begun, even if it was for MB or KM I would simply stop giving them views. They don't deserve you peeps.

#ask me #anon #cw is a garbage network and needs to die

Happy BFSN, everyone. I have been reading the BFSNs I’m tagged in and I’m legitimately over here sobbing.

(Also, Ren turned 6 months today. I’ve been with the fandom since before we were even thinking about kids so it only seems fitting to end with pictures of him too.)

I didn’t enter the fandom until sometime around season 5. I had successfully stopped watching the show until I happened to catch the “She is” scene and damnit if I wasn’t sucked back in.

I didn’t really start writing metas until late in s6 and I’ve truly had an amazing time doing them. I thought I’d be upset about putting so much effort into them after what happened with s7, but I’m not. I had SO much fun writing them and theorizing with everyone that I really don’t regret a thing.

I also do at some point plan on turning some of them into fanfics - if there’s demand for it. As I’ve said before, fiction writing is difficult for me but I’m more than willing to try as a way of giving back to everything the fandom has given me.

I’m not sad about the season ending - or honestly, even the show at this point. I’m sad about what’s going to happen to the fandom when it’s over.

I truly care deeply about so many of you and the thought of never interacting with you guys again. tears a little hole in my heart.

I will be here. I’ve been MIA the last two weeks because I’ve had deadline after deadline. I have about 2 more weeks and then I will be back doing fandom stuff again.

I love you all. Cheers to the finale.

Sometimes I wonder if jason fuckin retarded ratberg has ever watched his own series, because it s clear he aint written a day of it. He fuckin dared to shoot a disgustin scene where clork went like “blOoDrEinA oR wAnHeda”because he wanted to make it look like they shared anythin, luckily that bullshit was cut out in 3 seconds because the retard even dared to compare a queen and the only leader this series has ever deserved with a disgustin mass murdering traitor bitch who failed humanity and never had one of her own from beginnin to end.

Octavia was right all along, each and every day of the series, as in whatever form she was, includin fuckin bloodreina, because that war was necessary, and need i remind you not the first option even remotely;and if your cishet white ass is convinced that broccoli was any good or anythin else similar like puttin even darin to put in the same line the hero of the show with the fuckin villain,its because you aint fuckin watched your own show ever, except for when you had to write blorke apologist lines to villanize octavia. Thank the lord it got fixed; and if it had appeared not only would it have been an insult to Octavia s character for bein always right and for never being a smug bitch with god complex like clork but because blorkes would ve once again felt validated in their shite.

Clork suffered a god complex, she was a psycopath, she spent days on end antagonizing each and every octavia plan because she thought only those she considered her people were worth living. Everybody else caboom. She loved killin she loved the power and she loved feelin validated by that broccoli of bellamy, who was just as disgustin as her.

And in the end your plan to make it look like Octavia gets to do this because “wow s5 what a evil bitch” failed, because Octavia gets to do this as the real hero of the show she has always been, as the person who always saved and believed in everybody(even when they were ungrateful and undeserving as fuck) as the person who has always saved humanity, and as the only one who always believed, multiple times, but not just believed, but also made it real, to create WONKRU.

FUCK JASON RATBERG.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that even if Clarke had a canon non Lexa love interest in the last season, it wasn’t going to be B, it was going to be Gaia. No matter what happened or changed later on with the writing this year, Clarke and Gaia had scenes in the premiere that were intended to set them up romantically. It was never going to be Blorke.

I cant stop laughing about the fact that they tried to gaslight us into believing that the very real gay undertones between claia weren't real just to get proven wrong again

When you say “what show are you watching blorker/blind Clarke Stan vibe” are you referring to the author? I follow her and she doesn’t ship them or particularly stan Clarke

Did you read the article? It dripped Clarke pity and admiration and hated on Echo exactly in the terms Blorkers use. The interpretations of season seven (for example Octavia was "forced" to comfort Echo over Bellamy's death) were Blorke as hell. The author was the one who at times denied the agency of characters rather than acknowledging that bad decisions by a fave are still decisions.

She may try to be conscious of not writing like Yana when she's under her professional accounts, but the article was either plain about her biases or written specifically for what she percieves as a target audience who hasn't already considered these issues.

the blorkes criteria for good writing is basically just "baloney is on screen and alive". that's it. their "concern" for other characters are just side notes.

They’re being SO PERFORMATIVE with their anger over Madi being a vegetable and how dare you treat a child on this show like that as if they haven’t had literal children dying violent deaths on this show since like...episode 2 lol. There’s been a kid dying at least in every season that I can remember but all of a sudden NOW when the kid didn’t even die and is just brain dead they’re VERY outraged. Curious.

clarke griffin sucks here’s why

Hi! I’ve wanted to actually write some anti-Clarke discourse for a while now, specially because I’ve hated her since I first heard her talk to someone else in the show, but I was always hesitant because of blorkes and Clarke stans and all that. Well, I’m doing it anyway.

(DISCLAIMER: all this comes from her depiction in the show. I have no idea how book Clarke is, since I’ve never read the The 100 books. Now buckle up and enjoy my angry and not-that-thought-out rant.) (And I’m putting it under the cut because it is... a lot.)

I know many people started to dislike Clarke after season 3 or whatever, but I believe she has been problematic since the beginning.

For starters, she put herself in a position of power during season 1, and that’s a fact. People say she “had no choice but to become a leader”, but that’s a lie. Just like Bellamy did, she made the decision to bear leadership: from the moment they arrived, she was already making orders and trying to boss people around. Was she wrong? No, she wasn’t! She wanted to keep herself and others alive, which is a good thing. But she didn’t have to. Btw, if she had never done anything things wouldn’t have change, to be honest, since they did not get to Mount Weather and built their little cute camp around the dropship. I mean, Jasper wouldn’t have been speared and they would have found out about the Grounders a bit later, but I think nothing much would’ve happened. Actually, maybe things with the Grounders would have been easier, considering I firmly believe the theory that the only reason they attacked Jasper in the first place was because he was all happy about finding Mount Weather, the place that had been kidnapping and killing Grounders for a long ass time.

My point is: I believe Clarke wasn’t actually needed as a leader when they first came down to Earth. I think she was just a spoiled priviledged girl, just like Bellamy said she was, who could not get around to letting go of the power she held. There was no more priviledged and non-priviledged, so she secured her influence by becoming a leader.

An important statement that people tend to forget: she was just as guilty as Bellamy was for Murphy’s hanging, if not more. She was always talking about justice and whatnot, but when she had the chance to be just, she wasn’t. A knife is not enough evidence to fucking accuse someone of murder — during 1918 and 1919, there was a serial murder going around called “The Axeman of New Orleans”, who used axes he found in people’s houses to kill them (I’m a fan of true crime sorry not sorry). If police went by Clarke’s logic, the dead would’ve been the murderers, which certainly does not make much sense. The least she could’ve done was talking to him separately, conducted a trial or whatever, anything but accusing Murphy of murder before the whole camp. She knew they hated him, and so did Bellamy, and that’s why Bellamy didn’t want her to tell everyone about Wells’ yet. And yes, sure, she was grieving, but grief is still not an excuse for what she did to Murphy, it isn’t. She might have tried to stop the hanging later or whatever, but it was still a direct consequence of her actions and would not have happened at all if she had stopped to think for even a moment. The truth is that Clarke does not comprehend that she can actually be wrong, a fact that repeats itself multiple times throughout the series.

(There are other times she fucks up during season 1, but Murphy’s hanging is what stands out the most to me, so I decided to leave it on that. But don’t worry, I have many other examples!)

I can’t even express how much she pissed me off during season 2. Yes, Mount Weather was a very suspicious place and she was right to be wary, but how could she leave her people and escape? She wanted to get help and all that, but she fucking knew they were bleeding out the Grounders and was definetely aware they would soon try something alike to the 48, and she still left them. She left them alone and clueless to the danger they were in, and she didn’t even know if the Ark had come down alright or if there were other survivors. Mount Weather was lying to them about not finding anyone but she couldn’t be sure of that — everyone could have been fucking dead and she would have left her “people” to die too.

I’m not even gonna talk about Lexa’s betrayal because that wasn’t actually her fault, I admit that. Was she stupid to trust a Grounder? Yes. Should she have considered the fact they tried to kill Raven the first opportunity they got (when Lexa’s cup was poisoned) and the fact that the Grounders did not trust them because of Finn and wrongly Raven? Obviously. Does that make Lexa’s betrayal her fault? No, but she should have seen it coming, tbh.

And, again, she put herself in a position of power where she wasn’t needed. There were actual adults ready to look for a better solution, but she didn’t let them. Of course she didn’t — how could Princess Griffin let go of her power?

Letting Mount Weather drop the bomb on TonDC was... horrible. It was not the act of a leader and it was not the act of a good person. It was selfish, it was the act of someone who leaves their people to die with the excuse of “looking for help” without even knowing if there is help waiting for them at all. It would have revealed Bellamy’s position, yes, but Bellamy would have preferred that than letting people die like Clarke and Lexa did. THEY LET PEOPLE DIE. Hundreds of people! God, they didn’t save the Grounders and the Skaikru that had come for a DIPLOMATIC AND PACIFIC reunion, but Clarke really thought her deal with Lexa would mean something if a better deal appeared, right? Damn, that was naive.

And then she left her people again by the end of the season, of course. “I bear it so others don’t have to” my ass — Bellamy still went apeshit and Jasper still got depressed and no one actually saw her bearing it, so they bear it too. The only thing girlie did was leave behind responsibility and betray her friends so she didn’t have to face regret for her actions. Meanwhile, people needed her, since she had put herself in a position of power for so long that everyone actually looked up at her, for some unknown reason, since she mainly fucked things up.

I don’t remember season 3 that well, but I know that Bellamy’s rant to her when she came back and was trying to be his friend was absolutely reasonable and true. She fucked off into the woods, represented Skaikru in Polis without them knowing for a while, came back to Arkadia and tried to get some power again, but then no one cared about her. Bellamy was too busy making the wrong decisions because of his emotional pain and sorrow to actually give a shit and they had greater things to solve than filling Clarke’s need to be worshipped.

Also, the whole “blood must not have blood” shit? Funny, real funny. It’s just like Lexa pointed out: “blood must not have blood until it applies to your people”. She is SUCH a hypocrite it pains me. And she did not spare Emerson for “blood must not have blood”, she did it because she knew it would make him suffer more and that came back to bite her in the ass. Karma’s a bitch, I guess. And she tried to make Luna become Commander against her will, which I’m not gonna talk about, but was just really fucked up.

I think my hatred for Clarke peaked during season 4. First, she didn’t want to tell the Grounders the world was about to end again and was apparently okay with letting them burn, until Roan found out and got mad about it. She tried to become Commander, blatantly disrespecting Grounder culture just so she could boss all the people in the world around. “She wanted to help!” “She had no choice!” Yes, sure, she had no choice but lying to everyone and disrespecting a whole nation. She couldn’t, you know, talk about it. Okay. I mean, that’s how Clarke does things, right? Kill and deceive first, give a half-assed apology later. It has been working so far, there’s no reason for her to stop.

Forcing Luna to give them her bone marrow? Very problematic, but “Welcome to Mount Weather” was one of my favorite Raven quotes. Abby was also a fucking bitch for being alright with killing Emori but throwing a tantrum when Clarke finally came to her senses and decided to test Nightblood on herself instead of murdering people who went all the way there to help her, but that’s not what I’m focusing on.

Locking Murphy up while she attempted to kill Emori? Not good. Emori knew from the beginning she would be chosen for testing Nightblood — she is a Grounder, and Clarke’s disregard for Grounders has been made very clear before. (And no, having a Grounder girlfriend in a very unprofessional and non-diplomatic way does not excuse her from discriminating against Grounders.)

And then she took over the bunker, disrespecting Grounder culture once again by betraying the conclave and, well, many people. (I know Echo did it too, but I’m not talking about Echo right now so if someone brings this up I’m gonna riot.) I also think it’s funny how she was always talking about saving everyone and all that shit but was so fucking fast to leave Raven, Octavia, Monty, Harper and Kane to die. You know, the people who were supposed to be her friends and all that. Oh, well.

Then Octavia won. And she still did not open the bunker. Man, opening the bunker would save so many lives, including the life of her oh-so-called best friend’s sister, but she still didn’t do it. Classic Clarke God-complex: she decides who is worth saving, and the Grounders aren’t. Then there’s the whole thing with holding Bellamy at gunpoint and then using “but I didn’t shoot!” as an apology. Bitch, it isn’t about shooting, it is about the fact you looked your supposed best friend straight in the eyes and pointed a gun at him, threatening to kill him if he dared to try and save his sister and many others of certain death.

She sacrificed herself by the end of this season, great. I mean, yeah, that was nice of her. Congrats for doing a good thing for once, I guess, even though she knew she probably wouldn’t be able to get back in time anyway so the least she could do was making sure the others lived. I wish she had actually died then, it would’ve been a great end to her arc (finally saving her friends at the cost of her life after betraying them and leaving them to die repeatedly — damn, I might had even started to like her a bit after that) and I would be able to stand the worshipping of her done at the start of season 5, since she would be, yk, dead. Sadly, that did not happen.

She was a villain during season 5 just like Octavia and I wish she had been depicted that way. She wanted to kill Blodreina (because just overthrowing her wouldn’t do) but she wasn’t okay with letting Madi take the chip. I know these are different things, but see it like that: killing Octavia was a way of taking control of Wonkru at the expense of a life. Madi becoming Commander was a way to take control of Wonkru at the expense of Madi’s childhood. Are any of them good? Not really, but Commander Madi does not envolve killing someone and even has a nice ring to it. Besides, Madi had given consent to taking the chip.

(Another point: Octavia was actually thrown into a position of power, just like everyone claims Clarke was. Octavia was the conclave’s champion and was expected and even obligated to lead, while Clarke simply decided she was more competent than the others and became a self-proclaimed leader. After that, she whined for all seasons about how she didn’t want leadership. Octavia never did that, despite being the one who became a leader unwillingly. Just like Raven put, Octavia and Clarke are the same, but Octavia doesn’t pretend to feel bad for empathy points. Damn, I love Raven.)

She left Bellamy to die in the fighting pit, because now Madi is the one she cares about so fuck everyone else. She gave over Raven and Shaw and let them be tortured for nothing. She betrayed literally everyone and was the one to put McCreary in a position strong enough he had the power to literally destroy Earth. Clarke Griffin was directly responsible for Earth’s end.

And then she said “sorry, I had no choice” and most characters fucking forgave her. I hate the way this series throws Clarke’s half-assed apologies onto us and expect us to accept them. I think it is very annoying, since Clarke would be an awesome villain, but they insist in making her one of the good guys, even with the whole “there’s no good guys” theme, which I wholeheartedly believe to be just a way to justify why Clarke needs to be forgiven again and again and again. It is not much more than bad writing, to be honest.

During season 6 she again becomes a leader without being prompted to. I loved Josephine and I think that the fact Clarke wasn’t actually Clarke was the only reason I didn’t absolutely despised her like I have done for the previous seasons. Again, I would have loved it if she had actually died then. Imagine Josephine becoming a main character for season 7 too? Amazing, brilliant, showstopping, incredible.

And she is not even there for season 7, at least until “The Queen’s Gambit” lol. Guess they finally saw how much of an annoying character she is. The only thing I remember of her is the “I don’t believe in Karma” thing, which was... expected. I mean, someone who has done as much harm as she has can’t believe in Karma anyway or she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, and Clarke’s whole thing is about pretending to be sorry but not actually trying to change, so we can’t have that.

In conclusion, Clarke Griffin fucking sucks. She is a bad person and the way everyone always forgives every bad thing she does is bad writing. The series tries to sell her as one of the characters on the “good” side, but she actively works against it. She is not even a GOOD villain to watch, like Murphy was for many seasons. She is just an annoying character with a God complex who fucks things up, betrays her friends and lets people die again and again and then is forgiven because she is supposed to be an admirable main character. She is selfish and abusive and manipulative and power-hungry and fucking sucks, so please don’t stan her.

And that’s on that! Nice.

I appreciate all you insight. Clexakru suffered a lot over the years, from the runner, to blorks. But, the cast did as well, from these same people. I think that the Clexakru that moved on never expected anymore from this show, but having ADC appear one last time as God!Lexa to comfort Clarke sparks new stories to be told. The runner will always be an ass, and ridiculous story telling. We will alway have the true love story of Clexa forever. Blorks got nothing and I'm fine with that.

I’m getting a lot of these messages for some reason, wanting to justify to me why people are happy about, or at least accepting, of this. I’m not sure what the point is.

That wasn’t God!Lexa. It was an unknown alien wearing her face. She offered no comfort to Clarke. I’m sure the visual *will* spark some new stories and fix-its. But it doesn’t change the cruelty of what really happened. And that’s what I write about. Not whatever fantasies we’ll come up with based on a visual, but the reality of how, once again, a marginalized audience was mocked, cruelly, and so many are...happy about it?

A demand for better representation should never have been about beating the blarkes (I’m fine with them getting nothing too, but this really shouldn’t be about them in anyway). A demand for better representation shouldn’t be down to a visual. It wasn’t Lexa. Lexa was killed off, three times, with no one mentioning it, no one caring. If you care about Lexa, what’s missing here?

If all it took was ADC in Lexa’s clothes to be a win for so many, we’ve failed somewhere. Is it that, for some, the wait was so unbearable that any (meta) confirmation of her significance was all that mattered? Beating blarkes was all that mattered? If that makes you happy, okay, yay I guess, but it feels like a hollow victory to me.

This is JR’s game. His rules. He made Lexa completely insignificant as a character by absolutely no one mourning her. Clarke didn’t mourn, she remained trapped in a trauma cycle. The finale had to remind us of that, too. That all Clarke could even mention of Lexa was her dying, not her life, not what she meant to her or anyone.

No one talked about Lexa. Clarke didn’t even ask the Judge if Lexa transcended or if she was just dead. No hope of a reunion. Lexa was killed three times, while her related “aesthetic” was used over and over again to tease us into thinking she would appear (she never did). Thousands bought the BS offered by spoiler accounts who had convinced them they were with the production. And I’ve no doubt at least one of them was. And they still lied. BTS photos are coming out of Eliza and ADC...but there always seems to be a man in between them. We are always teased with a “visual.”

The visual last night was not Lexa. And the reality is JR got away with using her actor to mock us one last time. I’m very sorry ADC thought just appearing in Lexa’s clothes would be a way to honor the character and us. I’m sure she meant well. But JR didn’t. He made a choice to use her while shitting on us one last time. That was his choice. He didn’t need ADC to do that. But it was a huge win for him that he got her back for five minutes. I’ve seen Clexas praising him. Thanking him for it. Sorry, but that makes me die inside.

If you’re okay with all of that, fine, no one has to follow or read anything I say. My insight isn’t worth much, in the end. Not when up against the power of a visual.
