Dating Lottie Matthews (part 2)

pre-crash headcanons

thinking about sleeping at Lottie's house and having to spend like 20 minutes blowing out all her fucking candles. i just know she's got some Lexa level candle collection going at all times.

idk if astrology was popular in the 1990s but she was definitely one of the first to jump on that train if it wasn't. "why do you want to know what time was I born???"

100% believe that Lottie can not cook. tried to cook you dinner on a date once and yall had to call for takeout. definitely think she could burn water

definitely think she'd throw a lot of parties. girl has rich parents, a huge house, and almost no supervision. one downside of dating Lottie would be having to clean up after it all so the maids can't sell her out

Lottie has always given me lipgloss vibes tbh. Like the pink sparkling kind that you’d spend forever scrubbing of your face/neck.

i don't feel like Lottie would ever drink all that much, but I think she'd really enjoy the vibes more than anything. I think she'd get a lot of enjoyment out of just hanging out with her drunk/high friends.

Lottie is shown smoking in the pilot and I think that's so hot of her honestly. The smoking is probably more because of the way alcohol/drugs would mix with her meds though.

Something about sitting on the porch watching Lottie lean against the wall with a cigarette in hand has me in a choke hold. Thinking about Lottie passing you a cigarette with the filter stained from her lipgloss

i feel like her rich parents would definitely make her learn how to play an instrument as a kid, but it was probably something she abandoned after they started pulling away. i'd like to imagine she can still play some very basic songs on a piano or something, but not really anything more complex than that. she'd sell it to you like shes the next Beethoven, but would 100% pull out twinkle twinkle little star

Lottie would spend a lot of effort trying to hide her diagnosis from you as she feels like it's why her parents aren't around anymore. i think even after you found out she would be wary for a while that you'd leave because of it. it's definitely a very important point in cementing your relationship.

I think fashion is a very important part of the way that Lottie expresses herself. Even adult lottie, in the midst of a psychosis, still made time to serve cunt. A lot of Lottie’s life was spent out of her control, and I think the way she dresses is probably one of the few things she could control. I can’t imagine how isolating it would be to grow up the way she did, and I think pre-crash Lottie definitely used her outfit choices to feel like she was fitting in.

I think matching her outfit a bit would make her really happy. Not like full on wearing the same thing, but wearing a shirt with a similar pattern/color maybe. This is part of why I think she would like it if you wore her clothes. Not even necessarily for like possessive reasons, though they definitely play into it, but the idea of you liking her clothes enough to want to wear them yourself.

Ooo canon meta question! Do you think if GodLexa was actually LexaLexa at the end instead of some random God (idk I never watched it except thru tumblr) and the ending was left kinda up to the audience intrepetation about their future, would clexa fans feel differently about the l00?

Not after 307.

Not after the shit JRot and company pulled.

Not after they specifically went into queer safe spaces and told queer fans that they were "paranoid and crazy" and "should seek help" for not trusting them to not kill off Lexa, because they said they wouldn't! How could we even question that?! *Stares at the fucking camera* Not after them pretending to be mad over "leaked" scenes from their love scene getting onto the internet when we all know good and goddamn well they leaked that shit themselves to fucking bait us into watching live for maximum shock and pain. Not after they did everything within their power to trick Clexas into watching 307 live, touting it as such an amazing episode and literally begging everyone on Twitter to ~not spoil such groundbreaking work~ for others, only to kill her literally 2 minutes after finding happiness. Like seeing her die was some kind of ultimate prize. (Special shout out to Clexa Archive for posting it The Second it happened. Absolute OG MVP move.) And not after luring fans to Vancouver to watch the finale being filmed to show them that YAYYYY Lexa was there!!! Giving them false hope that she would be brought back somehow, only to kill her a-fucking-gain.

They used her time and again in the show, referenced her and tried to bait back viewers with mentions and flashbacks and drawings and whatever other manipulative bullshit they pulled. Having God!Lexa not be Lexa-Lexa was just the final slap in the face of 4 long ass years of them treating us like shit. It was the period on a sentence that had already long been written.

I think the only thing that might've been different would've been the new and fun ways the fandom took it and ran with it and turned it into something 1000× more brilliant and heartfelt and interesting than whatever piss poor writing job they'd have come up with, because that's what we always do. But do I think it would've changed the overall sentiment? No. Not for Clexa OGs at least. Not for the ones who lived through that shit. Fuck them, fuck JRot, fuck that entire show. I'm glad it's dead. The only things about that entire shitshow that'll be remembered in the longrun are Lexa, Clarke, and Clexa. Because of us, the fans. The show itself will fade into obscurity and be forgotten. As it should be.

I love your blog and your love for KE. But I have to ask have you see the go fund for the billboards? Also is everyone giving up already? It makes me sad. Cause feels that way. Like maybe we are all giving up. And they won or something. Idk if our fandom is smaller than most , I just really thought we could do something and make change.. I guess I’m still heartbroken or feel disillusioned.

I have seen the fund and shared it here, but it never hurts to share again! The link for the gofundme is here. Please check it out!

I don't think anyone has given up, but it's certainly been difficult because the public outcry from the KE BYG hasn't seemed to match the public outcry for Lexa. It's like people wrote their reviews and their thinkpieces and then moved on. And we as a fandom are trying but 1) we don't have the visibility or platform that people in the entertainment industry do and 2) the Twitter KE fandom has a MUCH larger presence than tumblr but outside of the billboards, I haven't seen much going on over there. So no one has given up, it's just that no avenues have worked yet and it's very much a "well what now?" type of thing. It would be much easier if people with high profiles were making noise too, but their response to this has unfortunately not been as loud or prolonged as the response to Lexa

Hi can you do a one shot of reader and Taylor Sloane having 😉 and that causes Taylor to be late to ingrid party. Ingrid gets jealous and has a fight with the reader and ends up smacking the reader in the head in the argument and runs off leaving the reader in the garden heavily bleeding. Taylor comes out and screams as she sees the reader smacked in the head and calls the ambulance and before the reader falls unconscious. Taylor asked who did it and the reader says ingrid. Your choice on what Taylor reactions are - happy ending please

Hi Anon

So this is some chaotic angst that sounds interesting... Im not really sure how to write this particular scenario and end it happy. I also like Ingrid too much to make her the bad guy. Hmm I will think about this and try but im not going to promise anything I honestly have no idea where to take this and make it a happy ending. Smut with Taylor I can do maybe a little less violent Ingrid idk like would you be upset if it turned into a threesome instead? I might have an idea for something a bit different but I will try and see what I can do.

I think it’s awesome that you’re speaking out on killing eve, but where was this energy for the show you were actually a part of? it seemed like you were pretty indifferent then so it just feels a little off that you’re referencing it now in regards to a different show, I guess. in all fairness though it was years ago and I am glad you’re saying something now. what was it that changed your mindset? to your credit, I do also remember you directing people to another person who worked on the show who was incredibly kind, understanding, and willing to listen, and at a point when the people involved in the show who had straight up went on lesbian forums to gaslight their own viewers, showed no remorse and took no responsibility, he honestly did give me hope for future shows against all odds. I can’t remember his name, but he was amazing and genuinely helped a lot of people that were struggling. idk if you still talk to him or even remember what I’m talking about, but if so, tell him he’s a saint

Assuming this is about Lexa's death, nothing changed my mindset. I was as vocal as I could be back when Lexa died. Now, I'm as vocal as I feel comfortable being given how much time has passed and where my career is. I know that sounds frank and a little self preservation-y but It's always far more difficult to talk about shows you work on than other ones. Hollywood is a pretty tough industry especially for loud, vocal people making a stir, unfortunately. And despite it's progress in many ways it definitely is still the kind of club that doesn't love a splash. And many of the people high up in power are still stuck in very old school ways of what's acceptable and what isn't. It is incredibly difficult to move forward in your career and also not compromise your values. In some instances, I do what I can to support my community from where I am. At the end of the day, I have to keep doing my work where it's most important which is inside the rooms and in trying to move up the ladder to a place where I can make real change. If I had made a bunch of enemies in my first year in the industry, I never would be where I am now and so on. It's also considered frowned upon for assistants, staff members, etc to speak on behalf of the show or about the show or whatever in ways that can traced back to the show in an unofficial capacity. So that is why it was my instinct at the time to direct people to a higher up who had offered to speak on the matter. That's just the very complicated reality, unfortunately. And trust me, it's not the most fun position to be in especially when you want to be able to do more. But whether it's in the rooms, behind the scenes, on twitter, here on tumblr, or whatever, my eyes are always on trying to make TV better for the LGBTQ community in whatever way I can. I wish it didn't have to be so confusing. I wish there was a clearer way for us to be able to be clear about how we feel so that you can all hear support and voices reflected back at you that you deserve. But that's a place we aren't at yet, in my experience.

Also the name of the writer you're looking for is Javi Grillo Marxuach. He and I have been very very close friends since. He has always been my greatest ally and advocate in this industry and continues to be for you guys as well. I'm glad he was able to give you hope in that moment.

Okay, first off, I am a huge fan. I have absolutely fallen in love with your writing and have read legitimately all of it. I’m not the most interactive fan, but I’m branching out here because, again, I cannot get enough of your work. The serotonin levels I get make my brain go brrrrr.

That said, idk if you guys like to get suggestions/ideas for new chapters, but I have one idea that I would kill to read in your style bc I think you guys write possibly the best domestic Clexa I’ve seen, and I think this would be absolutely mint.

For the modern Clexa AU, a chapter where Lexa isn’t feeling well and Clarke takes care of her while Lexa stresses bc she’s not used to being cared for. You guys seem to have alluded to the fact that she had a rough childhood already, so I think maybe her feeling awful because of her period would be interesting. Maybe she’s extra tense about it bc she was always chided for showing weakness like that? Idk, I’m spitballing. If it’s before the break up, maybe have it so Clarke comes for one of their normal flings and then, when she realizes Lexa is struggling, instead spends the night taking care of her. A little sign that their rules are starting to break about keeping it casual. If it’s after, maybe she notices Lexa struggling in a meeting and Clarke is the only person able to convince Lexa to leave work and take care of herself. In my head I see them arguing over it and Lexa only caving when Clarke calls her “baby” or something similar (maybe for the first time).

I’m sorry for the rant lmao, I’m just obsessed with yalls work and need more vulnerable/flustered Lexa fluff.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, and to write what you do. You genuinely have fans and I hope this doesn’t make you feel like you have to rush.

When I tell you I could not SLEEP last night because I was too busy brainstorming different versions of this scene. Maybe our fics make your brain go brrrrr but that's precisely what this idea has been doing to mine for the last ohhhhh 48 hours or so.

We don't necessarily take requests, insofar as we're not in a place to guarantee any kind of timely turn around, but suggestions and ideas are always, 100% welcome. Please send them. They're a super quick way to get the creative juices flowing, and interaction from folks who like our stuff is a surefire dose of dopamine - so thank you for reaching out! And please please please don't ever apologize, we live for this shit.

(Tabby edit: we certainly take requests, we just can’t promise we’ll actually do the thing or do the thing in a timely manner — but getting a request from a reader makes the odds of us writing it about 200x better :P)

Brain rot (and spoilers?!? maybe??) under the cut.

EDIT: link to the fic here, fic is rated E.

Full disclosure: I haven’t had a chance to work this out with Tabby yet, which I emphasize because she always finds a way to take my humdrum ideas and add a twist to make them ten times better (cough cough grilled cheese cough cough) BUT I think my favorite version of this so far is a post-break up situation. I like the meeting setting, I like Lexa refusing to slow down until Clarke pulls the Power of the Petname on her. (There are so many things to love about this pairing, but seeing Lexa's world-shaping will bend to Clarke's affection is one of my absolute favorites. I'm sure that doesn't show in any of our fics at all.)

I'm seeing it as a pale, somewhat spacey, just visibly (to Clarke) unwell Lexa sitting in Arkadia's offices for one of their regular meetings, trying to force herself through her day while patently avoiding the Looks Clarke is trying to give her. She gets up to use the restroom and Clarke follows a few minutes later to check in, leading to Lexa stubbornly insisting she's alright to a Clarke who can see through her like wet tissue paper. They bicker, the temperature rising, until Clarke (who always has a Doctor Mode tm, even in a universe where Abby isn't a medical professional) goes to touch her forehead to see if she has a fever, and Lexa - who is a) very unused to touch in most situations, b) very unused to the idea of being taken care of, and c) is now extremely overstimulated - recoils and snaps at her. Enter that fun moment of realization as her overreaction breaks the tension, and though she stubbornly sees out the rest of the Arkadia meeting, Clarke catches her quietly calling Elena to cancel the rest of her appointments for the day.

Of course, Clarke doesn't trust Lexa as far as she can throw her when it comes to stopping work, so she heads to Lexa's apartment after work. she now has a key of her own it's fine. Commence domesticity and hurt/comfort.

I should be doing work, but instead I'm losing it over this idea.

I can make no promises that a version of this will ever see the light of day - and if it does, it'll probably be so far in the future you'll have forgotten you sent this, lmao. (though you will, of course, be credited) But I am positively buzzing about this and am about to go bother Tabby about it again. Might even have just the right title for it...

The idea of having fans is so beyond me, but we remain incredibly grateful for all of y'all who a) read our stuff and b) let us know that you've found it meaningful in some way. That's what makes all the work worth it!

The best domestic clexa. I am cry omg

Okay I have a funny prompt for you: Clarke gets a flat tire and doesn’t know how to change it and doesn’t have a ton of money to call someone. She orders a pizza and in the special instructions says she’ll tip $20 if they help her change her flat. Two workers arrive and she thinks it’s gonna be the tall muscled dude (Lincoln) but he’s like oh no, idk I’m not into cars, she’s gonna do it, and out comes Lexa. Clarke is gay the whole time watching her biceps as she works

“Absolutely not.”

“And why the heck not?” Raven asks. “Do you really want to sit on your butt until my 4 o’clock class gets out and I can come save your ass?”

“No,” Clarke says dejectedly, watching cars fly by on the highway.

“Then what’ve you got to lose? The worst that can happen is you're stuck there for another three hours with some pizza.”

“I guess,” Clarke mutters, glancing over her shoulder. She stares at the deflated shape of her rear passenger side tire and exhales a pitiful sigh, bringing up her right hand to rub her forehead.

“Alright, then. Keep me posted, ‘kay?” Raven says. “I’ll check in on you during break.”

“Please,” Clarke replies, but it’s quiet and lost to the wind the second Raven hangs up the line. And with nothing but the highway and her thoughts, it only takes a minute for Clarke to google the nearest pizza place.

Polis Pizzeria. Just fifteen minutes away despite being in the next town over, and Clarke’s pleasantly surprised to find there’s even a deal for a five dollar small two topping pizza when purchased in pairs. It’s easy enough to pay for with the little bit of money still left in her checking and altogether manages to scrounge up 20 and change from various nooks of her car. A couple of ones under the seat, one ten and a five in the glove compartment, and then another random dollar bill in between the center console and the passenger seat. Combined with what was left in her wallet, it gives her the necessary courage to press the order button, this short note in the comments section stating a nice tip for anyone willing and able to change a tire.

Two small pizzas and a Pepsi later, Clarke opens up the passenger door of her beat up sedan and waits, scrolling through various feeds on her phone and ignoring the way her car rattles as cars fly by on the highway. A little bit of a breeze filters through the open windows, cooling the otherwise warm interior as the sun overhead finally begins its descent. Autumn could not come fast enough.

Clarke catches sight of the red hatchback in her rearview mirror what feels like a second too late. Taken off guard, she scrambles to right herself from her recline with her feet kicked up onto the dash and loses her phone somewhere in between the seats. She hears a door behind her close, and manages to pull herself upright onto solid ground just in time to see a tall muscular man most likely only a year or two older than herself, round the corner of her car holding two boxes of pizza. His smile is warm, his shaved head hidden under a black and red baseball cap sporting a now familiar looking letter P.

“Hey,” Clarke manages, clearing her throat.

“I’m guessing you’re the one with car trouble, huh?” he says, not even bothering to hide the amused quirk to his lips.

“Is it that obvious?” Clarke says, giving an awkward half shrug as the embarrassment takes hold.

He chuckles, handing over the pizza. “We’ve all been there, trust me.”

Clarke cracks a smile, the boxes warm under her arms. “Is this something you do often, then?”

He raises a confused eyebrow, and Clarke's stomach drops. It’s at this point that, if she had been paying more attention, Clarke would have heard the sound of the hatchback trunk as it swings shut. “Do what?”

“Change people’s tires?” Clarke says, voice a pitch high as her heart drops.

The man laughs, reaching up to scratch the back of his head underneath the hat. “I don’t know anything about cars, sorry. I’m not into that kind of thing.” He pulls his hand away, pointing back over his shoulder with his thumb. “That’s why Lexa is here.”

“Lexa?” Clarke repeats, eyes narrowed. She leans to the left to peer around the tall bulky form in front of her, and feels her jaw drop. Just for a second at least, as Clarke takes in the sight of the woman with a hat between her teeth as she deftly gathers up the thick mane of her hair using the reflection in the window.

The heat of the day is already curling the hair near her temples and the woman named Lexa tries unsuccessfully to tuck the pesky strands behind her ears with little success. She gives up, taking the hat from between her teeth and tugging her hair through the back, adjusting the bill until it sits comfortably on her head, shading her eyes. When she turns toward them, picking up the duffel bag near her feet, Clarke scrapes her jaw off the ground, catching a hint of green as Lexa’s eyes dart in her direction.

“Need any help?” the man asks. Lexa snorts, quiet, shaking her head, and Clarke's stomach swoops.

“You’ll just get in the way,” Lexa says as she comes to stand by her coworker. “No offense.”

“None taken.” He waits a second and then, “You two okay if I hang out in the car? I brought a book.”

“No, no, it’s fine, I’m not--” Clarke says, fully aware that the end of this sentence is just as much a mystery to herself as it is to everyone else. Coherency lost somewhere between flustered and too bi to function.

Lexa sets down her bag of tools and they clamber against the pavement near the flat tire. The man nudges her in the shoulder. “I’ll be back at the car then.”

“Sure,” Lexa replies, bending down to pick up the wrench. She squats, and Clarke watches her pop off the five plastic caps covering these large bolts with her free hand. Once they’re all off, she looks right, and Clarke straightens under the stare. “Do you have the car in park?”

Clarke nods.

“Good.” Lexa looks away, lining up the wrench with one of the large bolts. There’s a little bit of force required with the initial twist as Lexa leans into the wrench with her weight and Clarke isn’t blind to the way the veins in her hands and wrist become subtly more pronounced, the muscles in her forearms flexing.

Clarke clears her throat. “You, uh, do this often?”

“You could say that,” Lexa grunts, putting her weight into the next bolt. It loosens and she turns the wrench a couple full rotations before moving on to the next.

The sun seems warmer now, mid afternoon and the breeze all but gone save for the passing cars along the highway. A little bit of shine catches Lexa’s upper lip as she continues to work and she turns her head to wipe it off against her sleeve, the bill of her hat blocking her eyes from view.

“I take it you’ve never done this before?” Lexa asks, her focus elsewhere as she rummages through the bag at her feet.

“Uh, no, not really,” Clarke says, watching as Lexa pulls out a brick from the bag. Satisfied, she gets up to place it diagonally opposite the flat tire before returning to her spot. Squatting down, Lexa rolls up the sleeves of her work shirt, in preparation for what Clarke isn’t sure, but she isn’t going to say no to the view. Especially when the black ink of a tattoo pokes out beneath the sleeve.

“Do you want to learn?”

Clarke blinks, eyes darting up to find Lexa watching, arms draped over her thighs.

“It might save you some money in the future,” Lexa adds, the slightest of smiles at the corner of her lips.

“Sure,” Clarke says, a little breathless. “Yeah, I guess.”

The smile spreads just barely. “You might want to put the pizza down then.”

Clarke looks down at her hands, the warmth from the underside of the boxes seeping into her skin. A blush rushes to her cheeks. “Right.” Clarke turns towards the front passenger seat and the still open door and sets the box inside.

“All set?” Lexa asks once she returns, watching as Clarke crouches down beside her.

Clarke pushes the hair back from her face, brows pulled together. “I’m ready.”

Their knees bump as Lexa shifts, tugging off a hair tie from around her wrist. She offers it wordlessly, and after a second of thought, Clarke holds out her hand. Lexa drops the elastic into her palm.

“Thanks,” Clarke says, reaching back and gathering her hair in a loose bun.

“Don’t mention it.”

Lexa starts off by naming the little bits and pieces, gesturing to each of the tools in her duffel bag and explaining their intended use. She helps Clarke find the appropriate spot underneath the car for the jack using the user’s manual Clarke never thought she’d actually use, and from there, it's relatively simple.

The tire comes off easily once the car is jacked and the rest of the lugnuts are removed, set in a neat little pile by the bag. Lexa does most of the heavy lifting, removing the now flat tire while Clarke attempts to wrangle the spare from the trunk.

She doesn’t get far before Lexa appears in her peripheral.

“I can grab it,” Lexa says, stepping close. A pleasant scent fills Clarke’s nose, their shoulders touching, and it feels far too warm.

Clarke pulls away, and Lexa steps into the now unoccupied space at the back of the car. “All yours,” Clarke replies, but Lexa is already finishing the job, hefting the spare tire from where Clarke had managed to prop it onto the lip of the trunk and up under her arm with a grunt.

Clarke follows without anything else to do, standing by as Lexa fits the new tire into place. “See this?” she says, pointing to a nub along the rim once the tire is fitted back onto the axle. “It’s the air valve. This should always face out.”

Lexa reaches down beside the nearby bag, picking up the lugnuts. She double counts them in her palm and then looks up. “Would you like the honors?”

“Okay,” Clarke says. She takes her place down by Lexa's side, holding out her hands for the bolts. Lexa carefully deposits them into her hands before reaching down for the wrench and with her help, the spare is secured and stable and the car is back on four wheels in no time. Lexa stores her tools back where they belong in her bag, slinging the strap over her shoulder as she stands. She reaches up to tug off the hat, and Clarke has the misfortune (pleasure) of seeing Lexa run her hand through it, scratching at her scalp, before pushing it all over her left shoulder in one curly wave.

“Hey,” Clarke says, the word stumbling from her lips. Lexa looks in her direction and for a second her heart stops. Clarke clears her throat. “Thanks.”

Lexa’s lips tilt upward. “Anytime.”

When she turns to leave, Clarke acts on instinct. “Wait--” She reaches for the first thing within range. Which just so happens to be Lexa’s shirt. There’s a specific kind of mortification that seizes the air in lungs, but she pushes through it. “Wait,” she says more firmly before letting go and bolting back over to the passenger side door. She leans in over the seat, scrounging up the pile of money left in the center console.

She scrambles back outside in a rush, almost knocking her head on the door frame, but Lexa patiently remains where Clarke saw her last. Her shoulders are relaxed and she looks almost bored. It’s the sparkle in her eyes when she catches Clarke's stare that convinces her otherwise.

“Thanks for saving my butt,” Clarke says, handing over the money.

“You don’t need to,” Lexa says, her eyes not leaving Clarke's.

A blush burns gently under her cheeks, pleasant and warm all the way down to her neck. “Uh, yeah I do.”

Lexa’s fingers close around the money, folding the bills in half and then fitting them into the back pocket of her jeans. “Thank you…?”

“Clarke,” she answers.

Lexa’s smile is small but infinitely soft. “Drive safe, Clarke,” she says, and turns around toward the red hatchback idling behind her car.

“Bye,” Clarke replies. It's barely an exhale, lost completely beneath the wind.

“You have some explaining to do,” Raven says, startling Clarke where she’s sat at the kitchen table, her phone slipping from her fingers and hitting the table with a loud thunk.

Clarke scoops it back up, quick to close out of the recent calls section of her phone app. “I already told you what happened.”

Raven hums, looking wholly unconvinced as she sets down her laptop bag and various books onto their already crowded table. “And I’ve known you long enough to realize when you’re withholding juicy information.” She takes a seat across from Clarke, and waits what seems like minutes before continuing. “You can’t just mention that a pretty girl showed up to help you change your tire and expect me to leave it at that.”

“Yeah I kinda am.”

“Did you get her number?”

“What?” Clarke blinks. “No, of course not. She was working, I’m not going to do that to her. Besides she’s probably not even gay.”

“She showed up to change your tire, Clarke. And not to stereotype but that’s pretty lesbian of her.”

Clarke rolls her eyes, busying herself by checking through her emails. Nothing holds her attention long enough and she soon finds herself back where started. The Polis Pizzeria number stares back at her and for once in her life Clarke decides not to think.

It’s probably the worst decision of her life.

Even without the phone pressed to her ear, the ringing is undeniable and Raven’s eyebrows shoot up as her eyes dart between the phone and Clarke’s equally surprised face. A second and then two pass and Raven stands up from the table just as Clarke raises the phone up to her ear in time to hear:

“Polis Pizzeria, how can I help you?”

“Yeah, hi, uh...” Clarke swallows, her cheeks burning. A feeling she thought she had long since abandoned back in high school. “I’m looking for Lexa. Is she there? This is Clarke.”

“Speaking.”

It’s like a shot. The sudden nerves that come hurtling back and her palms go clammy with sweat, tongue thick and sticking to the roof of her mouth, and all rational thought decides to leave her in an instant. On the other side of the room Raven falls into an insistent fit of giggles.

“More car trouble?” Lexa says, breaking the awkward, drawn out silence.

“No. I mean, yeah, I--” Clarke swallows around the lump in her throat. Raven wheezes. “Maybe? I don’t know, I--”

Raven lets out a squeak of laughter, and Clarke picks up the closest pen and chucks it in her direction. It unfortunately misses by a wide margin.

“Clarke?” comes Lexa’s voice over the line.

Her attention returns immediately. “Look, I’m...I’m sorry, I don’t know why I called you.” Clarke stops, dropping her head into her hand. “Do you want your hair tie back?”

Lexa chuckles and somewhere in the background Clarke thinks she hears someone call Lexa’s name.

“How about this,” Lexa says softly, and the sound of that voice in her ear nearly makes Clarke melt. “I’ll give you my number. Feel free to text me if you have any car questions.”

Clarke picks up her head, staring out across the kitchen. “Really?”

“Yes,” Lexa answers, and for some reason Clarke can picture her smiling. “Really.”

Are you sure we're not sharing the single brain cell? Cuz I am really digging the concubine x senator one. Like have lexa be a competent princess, whose smart, knows politics, athletic, knows how to fight etc. She aids Clarke in a lot of things for her senator work. But bc Roman society is extremely sexist (might need to fact check that jic) Clarke's getting all the credit. Clarke always tries to elevate her wifey-in-all-but-name when she could.

I think the story could be like this: At first Lexa is not vibing at all with clarke. But clarke is really gentle and not classist/sexist/etc like she expected. Maybe they have the same goal (like idk, equality? Abolishing a certain dogma? Taking down a political opposition?) Lexa realizes that she could get what she wants by going along/working with clarke. And somewhere along the lines, she discovers things about clarke and falls in love and fuck nasty.

Damn am I doing a great job of not nudging this not-au along. Yeah it would be a lot of work to write. But! It is fun to fantasize and talk about it❤️❤️❤️ So thanks for indulging in my babbling? 😂

Lexa is the daughter of a merchant, she has big dreams but knows she cannot accomplish them from her social standing, and much less being a woman. But she learns how to read and write as best she can, very much pushed by her father to do as such as Gustus wants a better life for Lexa. He also taught her to spar with a sword, and although she is no gladiator, she can fight pretty well. And when she becomes Clarke's concubine - im thinking Gustus is killed for something and being unmarried Lexa has to fight to her a life og her own - she has the opportunity to read and learn even more, and the more she learns the more passionate she becomes about helping Clarke change certain rules in place. And yes, Clarke definitely takes all the credit and although Lexa dislikes it, she knows its necessary as Lexa herself would never be taken seriously, but Clarke never once pretends she did it all herself and every small win will bring Clarke running home to puck up Lexa and tell Lexa "You did! It worked!", like absolutely giving Lexa all the credit!

If we go in a direction of Lexa meeting Clarke when she's preventing as a man, who clearly finds Lexa attractive, I can see Lexa playing with that, knowing Clarke is a senator if she manages to get "him" to fall for her maybe she can try and persuade "him" to try out her ideas, even if Lexa doesn't like man at all. And Lexa manipulates Clarke in a way really, she is looking for an end goal but when Clarke confesses to her that she is a woman and feels like a woman, Lexa softens towards her. She clearly wants what Lexa wants and she's a sweetheart really. Still Lexa has in her mind to use Clarke's "secret" against her of all goes wrong but with the way Clarke respects her so fully and is trying hard to change things around, Lexa definitely starts to fall for her and Clarke can tell because Lexa has always been cold and rather distant and while Clarke does like her, she was primarily interested in Lexa's smarts and how she could help her achieve a goal that no matter how hard she tries, Clarke cant seem to fully get into action. And the more Clarke reveals about herself the more Lexa seems to soften around her and the more their arrangement starts to resemble a marriage. And Clarke loves coming home and being treated as her true self and seeing Lexa let her walls down more and more, she smiles more and just seems happier both because she is visibly falling for Clarke and because its working, they are making advances to change things!

You sure are making a great case for no nudging me in the way of this non-au 😂 i am always here to indullge your guys' babbling, lord knows ya'll indulge mine 😂🩷

#letter opened #i think Clarke's a senador because her dad was one #its not really what she wanted #she isnt good at philosophy or law or any of those things #she can argue for them but creating the ideas and the plans gor such isnt her forte #and thats what Lexa does #she has all of these ideas and the passion for change if she could she would have reformed the impire entirely

In the same high school setting, out of Raven, Octavia, Murphy, Clarke, Miller, Harper, Monty, Jasper, Echo, Emori etc, (people from the dropship, you can add more if you want) who do you think would be in sports as extra curricular, and who do you think would do other activities, whether it's art, debate team, science club, music etc?

In tldr words, if the characters of the 100 were in modern high school, who would be doing extra curricular activities, and what would they be doing?

It's been a really long time since you sent this but I wanted to brainstorm something t100 related so here I am!

okay okay so? this is mostly just how i really like to picture things and probably not completely accurate but this is what i think:

john murphy: this is actually kind of difficult because i see him NOT doing extracurricular but also i feel like he'd be roped into it by somebody. maybe a debate team or something since i think teen murphy would have a lot of opinions and would want to speak his mind.

clarke griffin: she'd take art!!! we see her liking art in the show, so i definitely think thats a key part of her that would also be in a modern au!

bellamy blake: i see him being in a book club and possibly being on a sports team of some sort, probably football. i feel like he'd excel at football and stuff because of his build and because of his speed.

octavia blake: i actually see octavia as someone who would play volleyball or something else similar maybe? idk why, but i just feel that with her.

jasper jordan: science club with monty!! jasper is always seen as the "not as smart" friend in the friend group, but he defeintily does well with monty. they're such a team when it comes to these things. he joined only because monty thought he could.

monty green: science club with jasper!! he's always loved science and everything to do with it, so him joining was no surprise to anyone.

raven reyes: this is kinda tricky because i see her being in things like the science club but only if it was really hands on. she likes doing things with her hands, like building. she might join robotics or other things like that because it works with math, science, and hands on building.

lexa: she joins art for clarke, at first, but then after a while realizes that its something she really loves. she wins contests, makes friends, etc.

emori: i for some reason see music?? like i think she'd love music and being a part of band or something else like that. i think shed be really good too

#ry.answers #malvieswift #the 100 #i dont want to tag all of the charactersbut yeah lkjfsdlkj #thank you for the ask and sorry it took me so long !!!!

Any new headcanons brewing in your head after seeing Alycia at the AACTA

Not... entirely

But I've had thoughts. Bear with me.

I'm not even remotely the person to write something like this at all, but it definitely did have me thinking of a SORT OF SHOEH-esque type fic. Something involving them being closeted and in Hollywood. Getting their flowers for their talent and being in love, but having to keep it quiet their entire careers. I've seen some fics along this line here and there, but inevitably in the fic, one or both eventually come out on stage or something.

Which is great! That's a lovely and hopeful ending.

But also....

Not entirely realistic.

Or even half as heartwrenching.

"Well yeah jesus fuck, why do you want sad shit Andi, why are you always such a glutton for punishment and literary pain?"

Well I'll tell you why: cuz... shut up

Idk it just got me thinking of Clexa as two Hollywood starlets on kind of differing ends of the spectrum of Hollywood that in the public eye are generally never really thought about together.

Lexa tends to do more gritty work, a lot more indie films. Dark threaded moody pieces and emotional roles, not generally thought of as box office fodder, but pretty much always a contender at awards season. Sleeper hits, you get me. Things like that. She definitely has a well known name, but she's selective in her work and that gains her a lot of respect with fans, even if they have to sometimes wait 2-3 years between projects. Because whatever she signs on for, it's pretty much always really fucking good. Whereas Clarke is more of a mainstream girly. She does a decently broad spectrum of films, but they're by and large always ones with bigger budgets, bigger release dates, more screens. It's not that they're not quality pictures, it's just that Clarke likes to work a broad range of things. One year she's in a comedy, the next a period piece, the next action. There's no real labeling her career.

And most importantly, they're both very, very straight.

At least, their personas are.

Alexandria is a smoky eyed femme fatale who leaves all the men eating out of the palm of her hand. Very "Look but don't touch" attitude that adds to her allure, to her mystery, despite her always being attached to leading man's arm. Miss Griffin is the picture of buxom Hollywood glam that every guy has on the List. Known for leaving a string of broken hearted men in her wake with little more than a cheek kiss-stained in signature red lipstick

Lexa and Clarke though?

Lexa and Clarke are two friends who have been deeply in love and committed to each other for the better part of 5 years.

They love each other in secret because that's what they feel like they have to do. They have two seperate houses with two separate addresses, and only one bed they actually sleep in.

It only really burns on the big nights, which I think would be an interesting oneshot. Just a glimpse into their life and what it feels like in that moment. The night when all their work and their sacrifices are being honored. Because even though, yes, they do play the part of friends and manage to sit near each other, it's not the same. It's not the same when they can't get ready together or even show up in the same car. When they have to remind themselves not to lean into each other too often, or even reach for the others hand to calm their nerves.

When one wins, they walk up alone without a hug or kiss from the only person who actually matters. They thank their families and their friends and their management that they can barely stand half the time, and remind themselves to smile like it's the happiest moment of their life even though at least half it all feels like a lie. Because yeah, they get lonely in the months when projects and shooting schedules pull them to opposite sides of the globe... but somehow those months never feel quite as lonely as being in a room filled with people who act like they adore you, while the love of your life sits quietly with her own "date" half an aisle away

#anon #*loads shotgun* i will block any Elycia shippers or G*ylors on sight I'm sorry but I will ಠ_ಠ this ISN'T about that #that pic of Alycia looking at the stage just made me think of like a oneshot #of one of then having to watch the other win their award and being so proud and so in love #and so utterly unable to do anything with all those feelings in the moment #just the swells of conflicting emotion as they come as they watch their lover and friend and confidant being celebrated #and knowing this is what they both chose and both want #and knowing they'll have their chance when they get home #but in the moment #everything just feeling like a lump in the back of the throat #starlet au

OMG, you're back! WELCOME! For those sapphic asks: 20, 32, 35?

yes hi I'm back! although idk when I'll finish a story due to lack of motivation and nobody to discuss ideas with

20. What’s your dream job?

I'm not sure but something to do with either computer science or screenwriting (those are completely different jobs I'm aware, I'm thinking of double majoring in university)

32.

Are you more of a city person or a country person? Why?

Definitely a city person. I've always lived in the (same) city and I'm pretty close to downtown so I can't really imagine it any other way. I like the freedom it gives me. I can walk to multiple parks, schools, libraries, grocery stores and so many more places. I'm close enough to the center of the city I could walk for 30 minutes and I'm there. Places where I can't walk I can take transit to or bike to. From the time I was 8 I was getting myself to places close by and by the time I was 12 I was starting to take transit and bike by myself. There is always something cool going on like a street festival and there are plenty of things to do. I like being anonymous and not feelings like people are watching me because I don't know people if I go places alone but at the same time what people don't realize is that you don't feel alone because you're constantly bumping into people you know. And I don't know how to describe it but just the vibe of a city especially at night is amazing.

I don't mind the country though, my least favourite place to live would be the suburbs.

35. Recommend some movies or TV shows.

I don't really know any good ones lol. I recommend the movie Knives Out because I just liked it. The show supergirl (ngl I haven't watched all of it) solely for lena luthor and the amount of supercorp fanfiction. The 100 solely for lexa and the amount of fanfiction (I quit watching the episode before the horrible thing happens). I'm sorry I don't know any better ones, usually I'm the one begging for recs!

I agree with your opinion on ?no thing and wanted to ask what do you think of jackles saying his number 1 reservation about 10.05 was destiel mention. People also use that as a proof that he is/was homophobic, which I tbh can't agree with, bc there's like a million reasons someone can dislike a ship involving their character and it's not fair to immediately make the worst conclusions possible? Idk, can you share your opinion on that?

Part 2: Forgot to add: and even saying that those reservations mean he dislikes the ship is already an assumption anyway - 10.05 anon

Hi anon!

First thing I’m going to say is that I think it’s frankly bonkers for anyone, in any fandom, to call someone homophobic for not loudly supporting or maybe not understanding a gay ship. Of course this is a blanket statement and in some ways it can still depend on the situation, because could someone be outright homophobic about a queer ship? Sure. But that’s not always (and tbh, probably rarely) the case in situations like this. As you said, there are a million reasons someone can dislike a ship or simply not understand fandom culture with that kind of stuff; if one is unfamiliar with it, it does take a certain level of PR coaching to understand it more fully. I’ll go back to that though.

I looked around for ages, and for the life of me I can’t find a source on Jensen saying that the Destiel mention was his number one reservation. If that was something he said, can you (or anyone reading this lol) point me to a source?

All I know of–and found in my search again–is this video / article, where he talked about his initial reaction to the episode.

"I didn't have a positive reaction," Jensen Ackles told E! News. "The first time in I think 200 scripts I went and sat down in the showrunners office and said, ‘What in god's name are you doing?! Why? I need to understand why this is happening.'"

It took some convincing from executive producer Jeremy Carver for Ackles to finally come around to the idea.

"He gave very eloquent answers and did a great job of explaining why we were doing what we were doing," Ackles said. "I guess I had been aware of this 'fan fiction' for a while and I felt like maybe if I ignored it, it would eventually go away. When I read it in the script that is what I do for a living and is my work—I'm very protective of these characters and the story and I think we have a right to be—I wasn't angry. I just wanted to understand why and what was the message we were ultimately sending with this script and story. By the end of it, I felt good and it gave me all the confidence I needed. It was better than I could have ever hoped."

He continued, "I never should have even sat down in that office, so Jeremy, I'm sorry."

So from the perspective of this quote (if that is indeed the quote in question):

No part of this is anti-Destiel lol. I think it’s very clear what he meant by having concerns about this episode. I’d even go as far as to say that if he has said something about worrying about the Destiel name drop (if there’s a source on that I don’t know about), then it was still in this context: he wanted to know what message they were sending with this story.

I think it’s also key to remember that he’d been aware of fanfic and ignoring it. Why? Because he was also primarily aware of w*ncest fic and J2 tinhatters and the like. There’s a sordid history there, and it’s not unrealistic to say that it caused problems. That was Jensen’s first and primary encounter with fanfic and shipping as concepts, and it makes sense that his method was trying to ignore it and not focus on it.

Then, the flip side: maybe he didn’t want the fans to feel ridiculed either. What kind of message were they sending with this episode? aka is this going to be a nod to fans, or be seen as making fun of them or even getting their hopes up about a ship?

Then clearly things were explained to him, and he understood, and felt good about it. That counts for a lot. After that conversation, he clearly liked 10x05 and often said as much in other interviews too.

Overall, look, ultimately... I don’t know Jensen as a person, obviously. I wouldn’t ever claim to. But I think he seems to be the kind of person who just doesn’t like being back into a corner, especially very publicly such as at conventions. I think he–like all other actors–know they don’t write the stories and can’t promise things on behalf of the writers’ rooms. This applies to any instances people dredge up across the board.

I think he also–especially in the early days–didn’t understand what fandom wanted from him when they asked him leading questions about Destiel... because even at the best of times sometimes fandom doesn’t know what they want, and because without being coached in the best kind of responses no one would know how to answer perfectly especially back then. A mere 5, 6, 7 years ago, social media was still growing, talk of queer rep was still actively evolving and becoming louder, and fans were becoming emboldened (not necessarily in a bad way) to demand more of stories–but that didn’t mean everyone (especially actors) were engaged or educated on what that all meant for the ways they had to respond including on the spot.

SPN season 10 aired in 2014. Same sex marriage wasn’t legalized country-wide in the US until 2015. Lexa died in The 100 in 2016, and I mention this to put in perspective where queer rep conversations were at the time, using a marker many people know about.

Is it so surprising that an actor in a show from the early 2000s–with the baggage of w*ncest shipping debacles, network pressures, inability to speak for writers, and already many years’ worth of playing a character who felt personal to him–wouldn’t have known that fandom wanted to hear the exact phrasing of “I’m not sure Destiel is where the story is going but all interpretations are valid and if you think Dean is bi then of course he is” anytime he was asked a question practically designed to trip him up?

It’s not homophobia to have a cocktail of concerns surrounding a topic like that, in context like that, and especially in very public spaces like conventions. (Homophobia is shit like “not everything is about the gays, okay gay people?” Lol.) There are many reasons an actor could dislike a ship, but even more so, there are many reasons an actor may not understand fandom culture or not know how to perfectly address a ship / queer question because they didn’t know what the fans wanted to hear.

Basically, in summary: I agree with you and I’ve never personally seen anything from the backlog of history that Jensen’s said that struck me as either homophobic (a big word people should stop slinging around!!) or deliberately anti-Destiel with malice.

BEXA

Who is the little spoon?

More often than not Lexa starts out as the little spoon when they are first falling asleep, but inevitably something will wake her up in the middle of the night it'll switch, seeing as Beck's spirit is physically not in her body and she's unable to hold onto her anymore.

Who sings in the shower?

Beck. Beck sings in the shower. Beck sings in the bedroom. Beck sings in the halls and stairs and fields and woods. Beck's always fucking singing. Sometimes---on very rare occasions---Beck has sang a particular song so much that she can hear Lexa absentmindedly humming it in the bathroom. At which point Beck will tease her by loudly picking up the next line of the song from the next room.

Who plays pranks on the other?

Also Beck. It isn't beyond Lexa to pull pranks later on in their relationship, but it takes a long time for Lexa to allow that kind of frivolousness. Beck is the idiot who thinks it is funny to shift into a cougar and ambush her from the trees like two weeks into their relationship.

Who is the one who listens to pop music?

They both do. It's not either of their favorite genre, but especially if they're doing some cleaning up around the apartment or being silly I can definitely see them playing cheesy pop music and dancing around like idiots, while arguing over the volume control because Beck has zero respect for Lexa's neighbors.

Who brings the other a random cup of joe?

Beck has no idea how to make good coffee, because she doesn't drink coffee, and god help Lexa if she ever encourages her to try. The world isn't ready for the Zoomies that will occur. But Beck would try to bring Lexa coffee---even if it was downright dreadful.

Who picks the cheesy movies for date night?

Lexa tries valiantly, but is ultimately resigned to the fact that Beck will likely never actually watch movies. If she's got something in her hand like knitting or embroidery, she'll sit there and occasionally look up, but won't really pay attention. Which leads to her being that obnoxious person who asks questions like "what is happening? who is that guy? well why is he yelling at her? when did that person show up?"

Who is more likely to feed the other in public?

In canon? Probably neither of them because I think Lexa would positively die.

In modern? I can see Lexa doing it. Not at first. At first Lexa isn't used to the way that Beck just casually helps herself to anyone's plate and freely accepts anyone taking food from hers. But after a while, once she's more used to it, before Beck gets a chance to help herself to something, Lexa will scoop it up on a fork or spoon and encourage her to try it. Beck is delighted every time.

Who gives the other random little compliments?

Both. Beck more often because she just naturally communicates that way.

Who is always stealing food from the other’s plate?

LOL I just answered this. Beck. Witches are very communal eaters when they're in groups. Food sharing is very common among them culturally, so Beck just doesn't really get how it would bother someone to reach over and snatch a quick bite.

Also alternatively, she tries to get Lexa to share her food all the time. Like if she's eating a banana she'll over Lexa some, and then if Lexa says no she'll huff or maybe admonish her lightly like "Bananas are good for you. If you eat more yellow foods you'll smile more."

Who is more likely to let the other borrow their car?

Beck. Only because Beck is fully assured The Goose could survive anything. Hell, she lets her cat and her dog team up and drive the car when she's sleepy, she's not worried about Lexa driving. Lexa, on the other hand, doesn't want Beck trying to reach hyper speed in her own car.

Who makes the list before they go grocery shopping?

I guess that has to be Lexa bc Beck can't write lmfao.

Who makes sure the other takes their meds when sick?

Beck has never really been sick. If she were to get sick, she'd be a horrible patient with no trust for modern medicine. Now if Lexa gets sick Beck still doesn't trust modern medicine, so she's not pressing her to take medication, but she is pushing her to do crazy witch cures that she's sure will also work on mortals.

Who watches sports and has to teach the other the rules?

Beck doesn't like tv. Like at all. It will likely never interest her. She'll watch live sports, but her attention span is very small and she'll likely get distracted by like, a cool bug she saw or a leaf that fell in her hair.

Who pulls the other to their feet for a dance in the living room?

Beck.

Who has to keep reminding the other to hurry or they’ll be late?

Lexa. Beck is only vaguely aware of the concept of time.

Who is the one most likely to get a tattoo with the other’s name?

Mmmmmm Idk about name? Maybe like a couple's tattoo or something. But not a name. That doesn't feel like something either of them would do.

#hc #i'm CRYIN bc like some of these are adorable #and other ones i'm like bby what is u doin #graunblida

Ok so I just finished watching the oh so controversial season 3 of the 100 and I have thoughts, not that anyone cares but anyway:

- overall I really enjoyed it, I'd say season 2 is still my favorite so far but choosing between 3 and 1 isn't easy.

- 3 had a lot of messy and frustrating things writing-wise, at least more than previous seasons, BUT the highs were amazing and more interesting/shocking/exciting than the best season 1 moments.

- now this is gonna be controversial but I'm surprised I hadn't heard much about Lincoln's death. I know Lexa was a fan favorite (which i don't understand but i'll get to that later) but her dying was the first thing I knew about this show back in 2016. I'm just surprised I managed to avoid spoilers about when he died and how he died even tho i already knew he died.

- and speaking of that, his death was kinda rushed... I mean it felt like he had so much potential and they killed him off too soon. i thought him and octavia were supposed to be the main couple of the show so i was disappointed and very sad :(

- ok so... lexa. wow what a letdown. don't get me wrong I loved her and I cried when she died and when she showed up in the finale too but *my god* is she overhyped. i've heard people say she's the best character in the show???? and clarke's true love??? and i'm like WHERE? because her relationship with clarke, while very beautiful, wasn't that great.

like clarke spent so little time with her so it's hard for me to believe she's the love of her life or something like that. it felt like just her second heartbreak after finn and nothing more. idk i just feel like people acted as if there could be no show without lexa but she wasn't even in a full season.

like i said, she's great and she is one of my faves actually, but by no means did she have enough development and screen time to become the best character in the show.

- ok so moving on, season 3 Clarke continued to be a beautifully tragic character and I just want to give her the warmest hug and tell her it's gonna be okay. I love her so much but I don't like that the show keeps trying to blame her for everything as if she ever wanted any of it. not her fault she's smart and capable and a natural leader and almost everyone else is incompetent.

also i love octavia and raven but they need to learn to shut up sometimes. for 2 people who aren't ever in leadership positions they sure judge clarke's decisions a lot. why don't they try being in charge for a change and see how easy it is? same goes for jasper god i couldn't stand him this season. i wouldn't have cared about him being angry over maya if he hadn't directed all that hate towards clarke and monty but not bellamy. like literally why do you give him a pass but constantly attack clarke?? make it make sense.

- this is already too long so i'm just gonna say i loved monty, raven, indra, kane, miller, bryan and harper this season and they were great! the miller/harper/bryan trio was unexpected but awesome. i love having supporting characters to get attached too so i can yell at my screen when they die :)

- lastly, i don't think bellamy's irredeemable. and yes, what he did was wrong. i don't agree with it and it even felt out of character. i find it hard to believe the bellamy i know would do that even if he was mourning and lashed out. to help kill 300 people in their sleep just felt waaaay too extreme. if you'd told me he killed a few and then stopped and regretted it or that he didn't know they were gonna massacre them all and that's why he gave them the guns, then i'd believe it.

but it is what it is and everyone's a mass murderer or a morally ambiguous traitor on this show so really there's very few people i'd say aren't redeemable.

#the 100 #1st time watching #lexa critical #lexa kom trikru critical #clarke griffin #my beloved #octavia critical #octavia blake critical #lincoln kom trikru #bellamy blake
