The 100
Favorite episode and why
blood must not have blood aka the s2 finale!!! it's just so incredible. everything is building to this horrible decision that clarke has to make and i love how she's basically where she was in the first episode. like it was always going to end that way she was always going to have to pull that lever and she tried everything to come to any other outcome, she sacrificed finn, she let the bomb drop on TonDC and it didn't work, and as awful as it is, it is arguably her most heroic moment so. also i love how it sets up s3, the murphy stuff is great and clarke leaving is brilliant, the clexa betrayal is supreme and the blarke goodbye is amazing. even tho s3 didn't rlly deliver so well on those threads, it was just iconic!!

CHAPTER 1: THE BETRAYAL.
JUNE 2, 2014
Amidst the bustling backstage chaos, Amore Santos flitted about like a ray of sunshine, her infectious laughter lighting up the room. Standing at a mere 4'10, she was the epitome of energy, her excitement palpable as she prepared for the night's events. Close by, Raven Reyes, standing at 5'2, exuded an aura of quiet strength, her usually intimidating presence softened in the company of the Shield.
As Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose conferred in hushed tones, Raven couldn't help but notice Seth's distant demeanor. Concern etched across her features, she approached him, her voice low but laced with worry. "Seth, something seems off. Are you okay?"
Seth's response was a dismissive wave of his hand and a forced smile. "I'm fine, Raven. Just preoccupied with tonight's match."
Amore, always one to pick up on subtle cues, shot Raven a knowing look, her mischievous grin widening as she teased, “Uh oh , of course you'd love to know why Seth might be upset.”
Rolling her eyes, Raven playfully kicked Amore's ankle. "Ignore her, Seth. She's just being her usual nosy self."
Suddenly, a dramatic whine pierced through the air as Amore clutched her ankle, wincing in mock pain. "Owww! Raven, I think you broke my ankle! This is the end of my career, I can feel it!"
Raven rolled her eyes at Amore's theatrics. "Stop being so dramatic, Amore. I barely even touched you.”
Despite their playful bickering, Raven's mind couldn't shake off her worry for Seth. As she glanced back at him, a knot of concern twisted in her stomach. Something wasn't right, and she was determined to find out what it was.
ARENA TIME.
As the Shield made their entrance, the arena erupted into a deafening roar of cheers and applause. The crowd, filled with loyal fans who adored the trio, went absolutely wild as they marched down the ramp, their iconic black attire exuding an aura of dominance and power.
Amore and Raven, flanking Seth, Roman, and Dean, soaked in the electric atmosphere, their smiles widening as they basked in the adoration of the crowd. Amore's eyes sparkled with excitement, while Raven's usually stoic expression softened ever so slightly, a hint of pride shining through.
Amore stood out amongst the sea of black, her attire adorned with pops of pink that were as vibrant as her personality. It was her signature touch, a reminder of her unique spirit amidst the uniformity of the Shield. Meanwhile, Raven's attire incorporated subtle hints of purple, adding a touch of her own individuality to the group's iconic look.
As they reached the ring, Dean slid out gracefully, his movements fluid as he retrieved microphones from the ringside announcers' table. With a smirk, he tossed one to each member of the Shield, including Amore and Raven.
The commentators, recognizing the significance of this moment, hyped up the crowd even more, their voices echoing throughout the arena as they highlighted the legendary status of the Shield.
With microphones in hand, the Shield stood tall in the center of the ring, their presence commanding the attention of everyone in the arena. The crowd's cheers reached a fever pitch, chants of "Shield! Shield! Shield!" reverberating off the walls.
Dean, ever the charismatic showman, raised his microphone to his lips, a smirk playing on his lips. "Well, well, well, it seems like the crowd is excited to see us tonight."
The crowd erupted into cheers once again, their enthusiasm fueling the Shield's adrenaline as they prepared for their match. Amore and Raven exchanged excited glances, their hearts pounding with anticipation.
As the show progressed, tensions simmered beneath the surface, hinting at an impending fracture within the Shield. Seth Rollins, the architect of the group, seemed distant and preoccupied, his usual confidence replaced by an air of uncertainty.
Raven's attention was solely focused on Seth Rollins. From the moment they stepped backstage, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with him. Despite the excitement of the crowd and the energy of her teammates, Raven's thoughts remained fixated on Seth.
As Roman, Dean, and even Amore spoke into the microphones, their voices were drowned out by the incessant worry gnawing at Raven's mind. She stole glances at Seth whenever she could, searching for any sign of reassurance, but his distant demeanor only fueled her concern.
Every now and then, Seth would turn to look at Raven, offering her a small smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. It was enough to momentarily ease her worry, but deep down, Raven knew that something wasn't right.
Her heart pounded in her chest as she tried to focus on her teammates' words, but her mind kept drifting back to Seth. The bond they shared, both as members of the Shield and as friends, made it impossible for Raven to ignore the unease festering within her.
Just when Raven thought she couldn't take it anymore, the arena erupted into chaos as Triple H emerged from backstage, flanked by Randy Orton. The sight of Triple H, the leader of The Authority, sent a chill down Raven's spine, snapping her out of her trance-like state.
With a sense of foreboding weighing heavily on her shoulders, Raven braced herself for the inevitable confrontation that lay ahead, determined to protect her teammates and uncover the truth behind Seth's mysterious behavior.
From the moment Triple H's music hit and he emerged from backstage, flanked by Randy Orton, Raven's concern for Seth only intensified.
The crowd's boos filled the arena as Triple H approached the ring, his presence casting a shadow over the proceedings. Raven exchanged a worried glance with Amore, who mirrored her confusion at Triple H's unexpected appearance.
As Triple H began his speech, Raven's brow furrowed in confusion. What was he talking about? Why was he targeting the Shield? She searched Seth's face for answers, but his expression remained inscrutable.
Suddenly, Raven's attention was drawn to Seth as he discreetly grabbed a steel chair from beneath the ring apron, his movements swift and deliberate. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized what he was planning.
"Seth, what are you doing?" Raven whispered urgently, her voice barely audible over the roar of the crowd.
But Seth simply offered her a reassuring smile, his eyes flashing with determination as he held the chair tightly in his hand. "Don't worry, Raven. I've got this."
As Triple H's speech reached its climax, Seth's grip tightened on the chair, his gaze never wavering from Triple H's form. Raven's stomach churned with apprehension, her instincts warning her of the impending chaos about to unfold.
Raven's heart pounded in her chest as she braced herself for the inevitable confrontation that lay ahead, her loyalty to Seth and the Shield unwavering in the face of whatever challenges awaited them.
As Triple H stood outside the ring, his gaze piercing through the tension-filled atmosphere, he paused before turning to leave with Randy Orton by his side. His eyes bore into the Shield, a silent challenge hanging in the air.
"Incase you haven't figured it out yet," Triple H's voice cut through the murmurs of the crowd, commanding attention. "What I do better than anybody is adapt."
The Shield exchanged wary glances, sensing the weight of Triple H's words. Roman, Dean, and Seth stood tall, their resolve unshaken despite the uncertainty of what was to come.
"Last night was plan A," Triple H continued, his voice dripping with menace. "Tonight..."
He raised his free hand, gripping a hammer tightly in his grasp, a symbol of the Authority's power and ruthlessness.
"Plan B," Triple H declared, his words echoing throughout the arena like a harbinger of impending chaos, “There's always a plan B.”
Seth remained poised and ready, the chair held aloft in a silent declaration of defiance. Amore and Raven exchanged worried glances, their hearts pounding with apprehension as they braced themselves for the storm that was about to descend upon them.
As Triple H's ominous words hung in the air, Roman, Dean, Amore, and Raven exchanged determined glances, their muscles tensing in anticipation. With uncertainty swirling around them, they took a unified step forward, ready to slide out of the ring and confront whatever threat "Plan B" posed.
But before they could make a move, the unthinkable happened. Seth, their brother-in-arms, their trusted teammate, raised the steel chair high above his head and brought it crashing down on Roman's back with a sickening thud.
The arena fell silent, a hush descending over the crowd as they watched in shock and disbelief. Roman crumpled to the mat, his face contorted in agony, betrayed by the very man he had once called his friend.
Dean's eyes widened in horror as he stood there in pure shock, unable to Kobe. His gaze on Seth, trying to figure out why he would do this. Amore and Raven stood frozen in place, their minds struggling to comprehend the magnitude of what had just occurred.
Seth's betrayal hung heavy in the air, shattering the unity of the Shield in an instant. The crowd erupted into a cacophony of boos and jeers, their disbelief giving way to anger and outrage.
Amore's heart sank as she watched Seth's betrayal unfold, her hands trembling with disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes as she whispered Roman's name, unable to tear her gaze away from the scene of betrayal playing out in front of her.
Raven's emotions were a whirlwind of confusion and heartache. Her facade cracked as she tried comprehending everything. As she watched Seth, the man she had once considered a friend, betray his brothers with such callousness, a mixture of anger, sadness, and disbelief washed over her. She couldn't understand why Seth would do such a thing, couldn't reconcile the image of the man she had known with the one standing before her now.
In the blink of an eye, everything had changed. The Shield, once an unstoppable force of justice and unity, lay broken and fractured, torn apart by betrayal and deceit. And as Seth stood over Roman's prone form, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips, the true extent of his treachery became painfully clear.
Raven's gaze locked onto Seth with an intensity that nobody had ever seen before. Her eyes, usually sharp and calculating, now betrayed a sense of uncertainty and disbelief. She stood frozen, torn between the love and loyalty she once held for Seth and the shock of witnessing his betrayal.
In that fleeting moment, as the chaos of betrayal unfolded around them, Seth's facade wavered. For a split second, his eyes met Raven's, and the mask of indifference slipped, revealing a glimpse of regret and turmoil beneath the surface. In that brief exchange, the weight of his actions seemed to hang heavy on his shoulders, a silent acknowledgment of the pain he had caused.
But as quickly as it had appeared, the moment passed, and Seth's steely facade returned, his features hardening once more as he turned away from Raven's gaze. The arena filled with the cacophony of boos and jeers, drowning out any chance of reconciliation or understanding.
Raven's heart ached as she watched Seth, her emotions in turmoil as she struggled to reconcile the man she once knew with the one standing before her now. The bond they had shared, forged in the fires of battle and built on trust and camaraderie, now lay shattered at her feet, fractured beyond repair by Seth's devastating betrayal.
With a heavy heart, Seth tore his gaze away from Raven, his mind racing with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.
Dean took a step towards Seth because now the realization had dawned on him, and the anger was boiling inside of him. But before he could confront Seth, his former friend and brother-in-arms, Seth turned his attention to Dean, his eyes glinting with malice.
In a swift and brutal motion, Seth brought the steel chair crashing down on Dean's back, the sickening impact echoing throughout the arena. Dean collapsed to the mat, betrayed by the very man he had once trusted with his life.
As Amore, Raven, and the rest of the WWE fan's looked on in horror, the true extent of Seth's treachery became painfully clear. The Shield, once a symbol of unity and justice, lay broken and fractured, torn apart by betrayal and deceit.
Amore's heart shattered as she watched her friends and teammates fall at the hands of Seth's betrayal. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she struggled to come to terms with the devastating loss, the pain of betrayal cutting deep into her soul.
Raven's emotions threatened to overwhelm her as she watched the man she had loved and trusted betray everything they had fought for. Anger, sadness, and heartache warred within her, tearing at her heart as she grappled with the betrayal of someone she had once considered family.
As Seth's betrayal sent shockwaves through the arena, Raven stood frozen in disbelief, her heart heavy with sorrow and confusion. Softly, almost inaudibly, she whispered Seth's name, her voice trembling with disbelief and hurt. "Seth... why?"
Time seemed to slow down for both of them as they locked eyes, a whirlwind of emotions swirling between them. Raven wanted to understand Seth's actions, to make sense of the betrayal that had shattered their bond. But the pain of his betrayal cut deep, leaving her heart bruised and aching.
For a moment, Seth's facade faltered, his heart aching at the sight of Raven's pain. He wanted to reach out to her, to beg for her forgiveness, but he knew that he couldn't. With a heavy heart, he tore his gaze away from Raven's, his resolve hardening as he slid out of the ring to stand beside Triple H and Randy Orton.
As the boos and jeers of the crowd filled the arena, Seth seized the microphone from Triple H's grasp, his voice cutting through the chaos with a sense of finality. "This is my new family now; The Authority."
The words hung heavy in the air, the weight of Seth's decision echoing throughout the arena. Raven watched in silence, her heart breaking as she realized that the man she once knew was gone, replaced by someone she could no longer recognize.
