Some parental figures I love. Don’t get it twisted, nobody is perfect other than David Miller and Sinclair. But most did the best they could. Also, I ignore S7 when it comes to Clarke and Bellamy since the showrunner character-assassinated them.

"Ep606. SPFX built a hydraulic lift in the pit to lower the cast into the sludge. Which was filled with those little squishy bubble tea things. We also had a hot tub to keep the actors warm between setups. It was a very long day/night."

The 100 | S06EP08

Diyoza: First, The Old Man cures you. Octavia: And then you put a bullet in his brain. Diyoza: Look at us finishing each other's thoughts. Who'd have thunk we'd turn into an old, married couple?

The 100: Notebooks

So I just finished season 7 for the first time and I must know- does the Fandom collectively agree to pretend this season doesn't exist?? Bc I feel like doing that. I don't understand half the choices and I know this show has always had weird issues, but I actually loved it more on this rewatch than the first time i watched it years ago. But season 7 just felt like such a mess.

for stacked100 day even though we still have to wait some time to see them together... thoughts on Octavia and Diyoza?

Octavia and Diyoza are a huge highlight of the latter half of the series, imo.

One of my favorite tropes that The 100 pulled off rather well is the whole "enemies to friends" things. Octavia and Indra had a similar vibe, but Indra was so obviously a mentor and role model for Octavia.

What's really fun about Octavia and Diyoza is that they meet more or less as equals. Two cunning, cutthroat women leading dangerous, violent groups in a fight over limited resources.

The details of their leadership make it really compelling, too.

Octavia has almost ironclad control over Wonkru, and their loyalty to her is unmatched to just about any other leader in The 100's entire storyline. Obviously we watch that deteriorate as s5 goes on, but it can't be denied that that loyalty is what keeps Octavia in charge for as long as she is.

Diyoza, meanwhile, has a grip over the Eligius prisoners that is far more tenuous and is based on the fact that she led the rebellion on the prison ship. McCreary is battling nonstop to try to take that control away from her, whereas Octavia's enemies are all pretty much external.

And then they both lose it all. They end up on the floor of the Eligius ship together, one of my favorite moments. Even if "One garden, two serpents. Eden never stood a chance," is a little cheesy, it's kind of incredible to have one serpent say that to the other. A moment of camaraderie in all the destruction they just wrought.

Their dynamic in s6 is one of my favorites. Octavia has no hope for the future, feels betrayed and used, and doesn't see the point in being alive anymore. And Diyoza has been there too, and she helps her come back to herself. The way she talks Octavia down by pushing her to the edge - putting a gun to the younger woman's head when she couldn't fight back - only to be surprised and saddened by Octavia's willingness to be killed. Their entire storyline is so rewarding, and I'll admit I became a lot less interested in Octavia's s6 storyline after Diyoza disappears into the Anomaly.

And then in s7, they have their beautiful domestic bliss, raising Hope together. And we got to see how they related to each other in peace. I generally didn't ship them, but I did during this period. Honestly, they all might've been better off if they'd managed to stay on Skyring forever.

What they share with Hope there is really beautiful and sweet, and that makes Diyoza's death even harder, because they only got to live peacefully for a short time. But that's The 100 for you. S7 was disappointing in so many ways, but I think they handled Diyoza's sacrifice really well, and the story is more impactful if she dies.

I wouldn't have complained too much if she made it to the endless beach party though. She was a badass and I think she and Octavia would've made a good couple. And Hope could've been one of the few characters to make it through the series without being an orphan.

Overall - their dynamic is one of the few things I really enjoy about s6 and s7.

[SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE 100]

has anyone else noticed that everyone lost their first "love" (quotation cause some of the following relationships had shitty development)

Abby lost Jake

Octavia lost Atom

Clarke and Raven lost Finn

Jasper lost Maya

Bellamy lost Gina

Lexa lost Costia (assuming she was her lover, don't remember if it was specified)

Luna lost Derrick (I think that was his name and assuming he was her first love for purposes)

Miller lost Bryan

Monty lost Harper

Jordan lost Priya

Gabriel lost Josephine

Echo lost Bellamy (or the real Echo, maybe. either way)

Everyone except Murphy (and well Jackson but eh). (okay technically she did die but he brought her so it doesn't really count) Like they fucked up his whole psyche, but they didn't take Emori. Why is he the only one who got any mercy?

Like they were merciless with everyone. Clarke lost all of her lovers in some way (Niylah betrayed her), both her parents, her best friend TWICE, and her daughter (not even to mention all the shit she went through to survive/save her people and all the hate she got for it, you don't gotta like the character just respect her ruthlessness). They made Bellamy a sheep (multiple times *cough* fucking Pike *cough*) and made his whole death pointless cause he was right and Madi gave herself up like immediately after (so fucking mad you don't even know). Raven lost her childhood best friend/lover after he cheated on her (her childhood for fucks sake), her leg, ALIE (that was bad in general but damn), had to stop her own heart to survive, and then Shaw. Jasper went through it before he took himself out. Monty was hated by his best friend (just the Mount Weather incident), forced to kill his mom twice, watched his best friend die, sent his son into danger, watched Harper die, and never saw anyone he loved again (hell, whether he died of old age or not is still up in the air, they never found a body). They threw sweet Jordan into a horror show by the scruff of his neck. Echo had a childhood for sure. Gabriel had lifetimes of fuckery. The fucking disservice to Lexa (and Lincoln) by having her be shot. Luna killed her own brother and lover then watched her entire clan die. Miller lost his dad and was in the bunker... Abby got her husband killed, the bunker, Kane, and then was just erased (POOF bye bitch👋 wtf). And Octavia (need I say more? I will tho). Raised under the floor, imprisoned for being born, mom dead, dad who?, Atom, Lincoln, Ilian, you are Wonkru or you are the enemy of Wonkru, cannibalism, watched her first kinda child die (Ethan), banished by her own brother, lost time with Hope, and lost Diyoza.

And Murphy went through it too. Like BADLY but he never had to live without Emori.

This post is nothing. I just think that's beautiful.

Reached s5 of The 100 and I really forgot how in love I am with Charmaine Dyoza that woman can step on me whenever she wants

It's ok girl, season 7 never happened. Bellamy, Gabriel and Diyoza never died, Madi didn't end up paralysed, Murphy's storyline didn't suck, Sheidheda didn't explode, Gaia wasn't useless, Raven didn't get a disgusting storyline, there were no stupid alien gods, no time travel, no one transcended, Callie didn't make up trig when she was fucking 12, Cadogan was just a long-dead cult leader, Bardo was just another inhabitable planet, everyone is living in peace on Sanctum and they're not even dressed in those hideous Sanctum rags but have nice clothes, yeah that's it

Xavier: Ah, so you're looking for Gabriel. What do Russell promise you? Diyoza: 40 vestal virgins and a side dish of none of your damn business.
