I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds

Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake, The 100 1x10- I am become death

[shayera-the-magpie]

A piece of score that never should have existed.

[cforbes]

uhhh it’s been 5 years and turns out im still not over clarke killing bellamy. I’m so angry to this day. the most batshit insane writing choice ever made

[yiangchen]

is it just me or are bellarke scenes somehow even more romantic in retrospect???

[graendoll]

I hope showrunners of shows that write endings that betray their characters live sad little lives and never find fulfillment in their art and die bitter and regretful of their choices.

[anditwentlikethis]

Clarke killed Bellamy for a book that she ended up not getting, to protect Madi that ended up dying anyways, and then it turns out Bellamy was right all along. So Bellamy literally died for nothing

lincoln’s death will always destroy me

hot take of the night: the 100 should be an anime

[ishallgivehimupforever]

Here We go again Bellarke warriors, if you can hear me, it's been about 1680 days since I stopped caring (or so I thought)

I hadn't been to tumblr in years, before I decided to give the 100 a rewatch in June of this year, as I had given up somewhere around the start of season 5 (I remember hating the LONG ass timeskip teased at the end of S4, I guess some other media must have swallowed me during hiatus, and when I tried to give that season a chance I vividly remember 1) I couldn't see shit on my screen 2) I hated what the timeskip did to the established relationships) and so I dropped it for good, looking back I almost can't believe I could just...not finish it like that because let me tell you I did NOT fuck about Clarke and Bellamy, and Raven, and Monty, and probably some other characters back in 2015-2016. I think I maybe did not appreciate season 4 enough at the time it was airing (because I think binge-watching is very flattering for that season, watching it live I remember it was frustrating to watch the characters go on side quests in 4A) but now knowing what the character arcs are and where it was going makes it my second-favorite season. BUT, I digress, wow. This is meant to be a rambling, incohisive love letter to the compelling relationship between Bellamy and Clarke. I warn you, they truly do not fucking leave you as it turns out. I would go to the trenches for them back in my fandom days in 2015-17, and I realised, after binge-waching the show over 4 sleepless nights (seasons 1-6, which are the only seasons in existence, obviously)that I STILL just FUCKING CARE SO MUCH. I NEVER CARED ABOUT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS SO MUCH AS CARE FOR THESE TWO SEPARATELY, AND AS SOULMATES. Because let me tell you, Clarke and Bellamy, they fucking love each. Like actual, happens-only-in-romances LOVE. It is frankly INSANE how JRoth, K*m Shum and other managed to gaslight me over some of the bellarke scenes in S2-S3 as to make me think it's in my (and thousand's of fans') head WHEN IT IS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS FROM SCORE, EDITING CHOICES, LONGING LOOK SHOTS, HANDS SHOTS, LINES, AND FINALLY, ACTING AND DIRECTION THAT THESE TWO ARE LOVERS.

I have never, ever, before or since, followed two characters who were so compatible, so equal, so trusting in each other, so open with one another, so mindful of the other's emotions and needs, so so so made for each other, that it is no surprise to me that they are top 10 F/M pairing on AO3. Because Bellamy and Clarke would fall in love in every imaginable scenario, in every universe, across time. I am not usually that cheesy or cringy, but it is true. I could not put my finger on why they are my absolute favorite to read fanfic for and then it occurred to me. That as long as the hands of fate put these two in proximity of each other, it;s a done deal. That chemistry transcends the limits of a single tv show. The depth with how Clarke and Bellamy love each other honestly makes me pause for breath sometimes. It is not just the iconic, famous bellarke scenes, but also the quiet moments.

Like in 6x05 or 6x06 (cant remember) when Clarke's body was stolen by Josephine after her one-night stand with Cillian. (stay with me) Bellamy, unaware that Clarke isn't herself at that point, comes over to chat, he's clearly at least a bit jealous over her sleeping with Cillian, and yet he says "happiness looks good on you" with that wide, earnest smile. And just wow. How must he love her, to be so utterly happy for her own happiness that has in that instance nothing to do with him. so selfless. well, selfless is basically Bellamy's middle name.

Or how in season 4, after a lot of the characters and at times the narrative wanted to push this idea on Clarke that she is the sole leader of her people, gets right back on track to her co-leader dynamic with Bellamy, constantly checking with him, considering his input, and respecting choices that she herself would maybe not make (releasing the ensalved arkadians and grounders vs ensuring they get a machine necessary to generate water) but always understanding that these choices agree with his core values, and she loves him for it.

This post is way too long. I love Bellamy. I love Clarke. People often use the 'MY PARENTS" about ships on twitter, and you know what, in my case that's kinda true with bellarke. I met these characters when I was 15. I am 25 now, and with an adult perspective to my surprise I found their relationship even more profound then I remembered, and I was insanse about them already. They are truly THE power couple of all time. I miss the 100, If you wanna ramble about it together, feel welcome to send me ask, I'd love to have an excuse to share some of my (sometimes unpopular) opinions lol.

[kizo2703]

Jroth made S7 as it is just to punish Bob and Eliza (for some fucking reason?) [and us, Bellarkes!] and without them, there is no T100 narrative and the show, pure and simple. Just his crackfic.

I forgot the nazi analogy then going back on their word about it season 7 gods

I mean....

What the hell was that? "Imagine if you were one of the Mountain [Nazi Analogy] people and Clarke and Bellamy destroyed your whole world-- THAT WOULD MAKE CLARKE THE BAD GUY AND NOT WORTHY OF HEAVEN." Brilliant, old man. Just brilliant.

Yes, let's look at the story from the POV of the vampires who hung grounders upside down to drain them of their blood and then turned them into zombies to terrify everyone else, and never forget that they used their own people for experiments and refused to use volunteers or even anesthesia when they forcibly stole bone marrow from the Arkers for what reason?? Funsies?

These are the good guys? The ones who, if they could live above ground would have wiped out the grounders and taken the rest as slaves. THOSE are the ones you're being sympathetic with all of a sudden?

I have honestly lost faith in tv and movies. They really don't care about story, they just care about money.

Of course some writers and creators do, yes. But you absolutely cannot count on any of them or trust the story they're telling, because they can and will twist the story to fit some outside need, whether that's erasing an interracial romance (Star Wars, Super Girl, Sleepy Hollow) or shutting a show down early because it's not idk whatever reason they make up, or totally misunderstanding the source material and disrespecting the fans (GOT) you just can't trust em. Maybe that's why I've stuck to reading books lately?

If I'm on that list, you're on that list.

Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin, The 100 4x03- The Four Horsemen

[fictionkinfessions]

I never do these but this sounded fun so I’m gonna go for it, fuck it we ball, etc etc

Canon Death Counts:

Clarke Griffin- If memory serves that number was looking pretty damn close to batting 1,000. They uh… They didn’t call me Wanheda, the Commander of Death, for no reason. Some of those deaths were more of a mercy thing but it’s still a death nonetheless and should be counted as such. And for the record? No spoilers for a show that ended in fucking 2020 (didn’t realize it’d been that long, oh god no) but one particular bit of season 7 I’m not counting in that number because that specific death Simply Did Not Happen and the show writer’s days are Numbered. When I catch you JRoth, JRoth when I catch you-

Buffy Summers- Considering my Powers-That-Be given purpose on this Earth was to kill vampires, gonna say that number is safely Up There, from what I can gather, canonically it’s about 300 but as I said, considering my Job Title I’m fairly sure that number was about as high if not higher than the Clarke numbers. The world may never know but goddammit if Buffy Summers didn’t get the job done.

Natalia Romanova (Black Widow)- Similarly and well there might be trend here but we don’t have time to unpack all of that, I had a much more mild dose of super serum per comics canon and aged fairly slowly so I had a plethora of time to rack up some Numbers, and that’s probably the highest death count, looking into it and from my own memories that number is probably upwards of 1,000-2,000. When you’re raised to be a weapon on mass destruction pointed at a threat and told “Go my shithound, hunt down my adversaries,” you do what you gotta do to survive and complete a missions perimeters and sometimes that’ll put some significant red in your ledger.

Whelp. Those numbers are higher than I expected and that was a Pandora’s Box I definitely should have left closed on all accounts but all’s fair in love and ask games, I think Shakespeare said that.

you know, i would kill for the og s7 script to be leaked...i've said before that i would never rewatch the show because the ending is just so unsatisfying and ooc for so many characters, but...if i could rewatch almost all of it and stop at whatever point in s7 that it changed and then just read the og script? i'd rewatch in a heartbeat!

[kizo2703]

Hey Sunflowerkru, it's been 2199 days since another jroth's disaster.... oh fuck, hold on. 🤣🤣🤣

No, we're not gonna mention that asshole on this day. 😜 Thanks for tagging @togetherkru. 😘 Anyway, you can enjoy the garden (without my face 😘).

don't mind me just imagining a world where jroth and kim shumway were banned from twitter and social media as a whole for the duration of the t100 apart from five minutes a month

part of me wants to remember what made the fandom so toxic and how much it came from those to wankers to basically highlight how not to interact with a fan base but I also don't want to get annoyed and frustrated (which is sure to happen as most i remember is jason/ kim says shit= fandom bullying got a jolt and huge upkick/ daddy basically remembering specific interactions? would be helpful but also scared and nervous)

them & that layne loser who was so determined to have her opinion be canon?? like the shit that came especially around the lexa death / s3 era was just horrendous on all sides & the showrunners did nothing but make it worse.

then when it got exposed that they were being abusive on set & their racism / sexism soon followed, then they finally shut the fuck up. interesting!

[meyhew]

i'm rewatching the 100 and bellamy just compels me SO much but tumblr doesn't really have solo gifs all it has is bellarke gifs and well. that was so fucked up

that’s because they belong together ! jroth will see hell for what he did to them and us
