#✧ Raven Reyes; it won't survive me

[offeatherandbone]

@savedpeople

"Pretty fucking cool, right? The tree, I mean, though I know this whole place must look damn luxurious to you."

Compared to the rest of the Sanctuary, it is; that's because they're currently in the parlor where Negan's wives spend much of their time -- though they're notably absent now -- down the hall from the leader's own living quarters. A room of leather and velvet, fancy-ass decorative pillows and chandeliers, a selection of wines at a personal bar and, currently, a bare Christmas tree, with a handful of boxes sitting besides it.

"Told the guys I wanted to feel some damn holiday cheer this winter and look at this." He motions towards the tree. "They pulled through for once in their sad lives. Now, as you may notice, it's looking pretty fucking sad, but that's where you come in." Arms spread open wide like his smile. "You, my dear, are going to help me decorate this thing."

He spots what must be either confusion or disbelief cross her face, because he soon adds, "You must be wondering why I don't have one of my many wives helpin' me instead. Don't you worry, I've got plenty of things lined up for them to help me get into the Christmas spirit." He keeps it vague on purpose; lets her come to her conclusions. "And let's be honest, you could use a break from all that back breaking work you do for me." Not the best kind of 'back breaking,' but by some miracle he manages to keep that one to himself. "I might even pour you a drink."

Some time later, the tree is wrapped in white lights and silver garland rests across the fireplace mantel. Raven turns down his offer to have a drink -- Negan has no fucking clue why -- but he still grabs himself a beer as they work their way through boxes of frosted silver, gold, and red bulb ornaments. He encourages them to share stories of Christmas from before the world fell, and he's pretty sure he sees Raven crack a smile or two. Soon enough the tree is covered, and Negan takes a dramatic step back to take it all in after he finishes it off with a gold star at the top.

"I don't know about you, but I think we did pretty fucking good! Look at it; there's so much Christmas cheer radiating off this thing, I'm about to start singing carols."

Hands on his hips, Negan turns to her, lifting a palm into the air. And -- maybe just to appease him, maybe not -- Raven doesn't leave him hanging, and gives him a high-five.

When she had been called out of her makeshift garage, Raven had spent the entire time creating a list of things that could have gotten her in trouble. Always having a bit of an issue with authority, there were definitely things that could warrant punishment. 'Innocent until prove guilty...right?’ She thought to herself, making sure to keep her lips tight as the two men lead her to Negan, ignoring any gross comment thrown her way with nothing more than a sharp side eye or a blank stare. 

Her arms were crossed when she stepped into the parlor. Eyes fell on the Pine and her brows furrowed, defensively confused. She listened quietly, waiting for Negan to explain. He wasn’t exactly one to let things speak for themselves, enjoying his own voice too much for that. It was definitely one of the weirder things that’s happened to her, but at least it wasn’t an iron to the face. If he wanted company decorating a Christmas tree, then so be it. It wasn’t exactly like she had anywhere else to go, though she did have some cars to work on.  “Sure,” She said hesitantly with a shrug of her shoulders, walking over to one of the boxes. When she opened it, it smelled like mothballs and something stale. She carefully pulled out an old crocheted blanket covering a few smaller plastic boxes filled with ornaments. At first, she was a quiet and stiff, listening to his stories as she cleaned the dust off the ornaments with the blanket. By the time she started putting the ornaments on the actual tree, she even found herself giving a soft laugh at one of his jokes. It was more of a huff, but it was something. 

“Never decorated a tree before,” She admitted, sharing a little glimpse of her own life as an apology for rejecting the drink. Her mother’s addiction robbed her of a lot of experiences. Christmas was one of them. “My boyfriend’s family was Jewish, so we celebrated Hanukkah.” Finn had been very sweet, allowing her into his family and sharing his culture with her. Sometimes, she felt left out of all the Christmas stuff but she stopped caring after a while. There was a numb pain in her chest, remembering exchanging gifts with Finn. At least he didn’t have to deal with the apocalypse anymore... Raven went quiet again, but it was more comfortable than it had been in the beginning. 

As Negan added the final touch, Raven hummed in agreement. They did do a pretty good job with the stuff they had. It looked a bit incohesive, but it made it feel more... homely. As he threatened to sing, Raven even felt comfortable enough to poke at him. 

“Please don’t.” As he raised his hand and waited, Raven sighed exaggeratedly and gave him a half assed Highfive. He kinda deserved it since he had been less obnoxious than usual.

𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝘿𝙐𝘾𝙄𝙉𝙂… gabriela sanchez (she/her). gabriela is 30 YEARS OLD and has been at OBLITUS for FIVE YEARS. she works as a ARSENAL GUARD and lives in the RESIDENTIAL AREA. she's awfully DILLIGENT and AGGRESSIVE. heard ARMY DREAMERS BY KATE BUSH? then you've probably seen her.

HELLO !! i'm g, i'm 27 aka ancient and in the aest (forbidden) timezone. i literally havent rped or been on tumblr for 3 years and im so quirky for coming back for this rp!

i'm not a huge discord girly bc i feel that distracts me from rping and writing sometimes (adhd gworl here), but pls message me anytime!

anyways, in melissa barrera we trust our pro-palestine queen.

about gabriela:

originally came to oblitus in tow with her younger sister but ha ha we don't talk about that (her sister has since been k*lled by the creatures)

prev worked in quantico for a while, so she can definitely take care of herself

an older sister through and through. easily annoyed. protective. ever-changing moods etc etc

gabriela misses her sister like she misses her own heart (i know my sister like i know my own mind, she will choose her happiness over mine every time)

gabriela is VERY closed off and emotionally stunted bc she's terrified that if she shows any emotion then the creatures will appear and try to kill her or someone else (this is basically what happened to her sister one night during a heated argument)

i would like to say that gabriela is very morally good but lets be honest, she's quite morally grey.

final girl - esque vibes

if i had to compare her to anybody it would be... lexa (the 100), raven reyes (also the 100 lol), michonne (the walking dead) katniss everdeen (the hunger games), and kate austen (lost)

gabriela can seem quite closed off and un-fun but she really is just always On Guard, and Always Watching. she's 1000% who you'd want with you when shit goes down because she's extremely good at surviving and she's tough as nails

she can hold her own - both drinking wise and fighting wise. while she won't initiate anything or act out, she is definitely the kind of person who's always somewhat simmering under the surface

ALWAYS WATCHING

just misses her sister so bad tbh, her sister was her primary family and ya she definitely will never get over that trauma but o well baby!!

diplomatic but won't hesitate to speak up

nowadays she's pretty lowkey. mainly keeps to herself but is nice enough when you talk to her, won't be rude for no reason except if ur a MAN !! THEN DNI !!! jk kinda not really

very helpful and always willing to help out too, if u need help with anything i actually don't think gabriela will ever say no

is kinda resigned to the fact that oblitus is now her home and is mainly fine with that

prioritises keeping oblitus and its residences safe - so anyone who tries to fuck w the peace will be getting staunched by gabriela

idk what else to say lol

ill post wanted connections in a week or two, once i've properly fleshed out gabriela and gotten a vibe for her - but in the meantime, FEEL FREE TO ASSUME ANY CONNECTION !! im a fast replier and need to actually rp to rlly feel out my characters and understand them so thatll be my main goal, but pls feel free to mssg me ooc if this seems overwhelming JKFDNJKFNK

mwah love yall talk soon

ps i havent been on tumblr in literally 3 years so pls forgive me if i don't know the hippest ways to do styling and stuff dkjnfdnkjfn IM LEARNING I WILL GET IT SOON ur patience is so appreciated

The 100 rewatch 2023 ep 1.07 Live Blog

Contents Under Pressure.

The clarke/raven/finn love triangle is so soapy. blech.

Oh. Storm is here. Raven is trying to reach the Ark Station. But through a hurricane so that's hard. Clarke is being so supportive and reassuring. (that's a real relationship. Princess Mechanic forever.)

Kane is listing Abby's crimes. All punishable by death. Kane is trying to ignore the radio signals. The council voted to save Abby. Kane is bitchy saying those flashes AREN'T evidence of the kids' survival and Abby gets kicked off the council.

THAT is a signal from Raven Reyes. OH it's station wide. LOL. Everyone in the Ark hears Raven saying The 100 are alive. Ha ha. The signal is coming from earth. Kane looks gutted.

Ah it's ClLARKE on the radio. Abby's voice cracks. Ope she just lets dropped the fact that they aren't alone and Finn got stabbed by a grounder. oops. Jaha asks about Wells. No sorry. Wells is dead. :(

Bitch. You sent him down there. Don't get all pissy Jaha.

Abby is breaking up. THERES A HURRICANE BABY. A huge one. Does that cover the entire south east? Monty's moonshine is used as treatment. Monty and Jasper and Bellamy are out in the storm. No they're back. They are dragging Lincoln. "Intel."

"This is not who we are," Clarke says.

"It is now," Bellamy says. And he's right actually. But it's not really a good thing.

Clarke the medic. Abby guiding her. That's nice. Oop. Tying Lincoln up. And here's Miller. Is this the first time we seeMiller?

Octavia is defnding Lincoln. He hit Lincoln for Finn and Jasper and John and Roma. Who are dead. Yes O he speaks English and Bellamy things he'll understand.

Jaha is morose an looking at memories of Wells. Again. You sent them down there. I have never liked Jaha since he said the kids were disposable. Sorry.

Oh what was that lady's name. Diana. Thanks Jaha. She's divisive. Her people are the workers. She used to be the Chancellor. My people. Your people. Sigh. "you've activated project exodus. congratulations. you will forever be remembered as the man who brought us back to the ground."

Well. No actually. He won't. There's no one to remember him for bringing the ark home. Because they are all dead and/or sucked up into a sparkly purple alien.

I missed all Diana's maneuvering because I was thinking about how pointless it all turned out to be. Stupid season 7.

Yeah yeah. Finn will die if she moves the knife a millimeter in the wrong direction.

Oh. he wakes up as she tries to take the knife out. Yipes. I bet the grounders were not as careful taking the spear out of Jasper's chest. Wait what happened? They all got knocked off their asses but the knife is out of his chest. And he's not dead yet. But he's giving Clarke the lovey dovey eyes right in front of Raven and that is just icky.

Bell trying to get Linocln to talk. Miller finds his antidotes. "Who knows with these people." Listen. Bellamy could EASILY have been Pike. I will forever declare that Clarke's influence kept him from being like that.

Finds Lincoln's journal with a drawing of O and hatchmarks of the 100 live and dead.

Abby wants to talk with Clarke. Clarke doesn't want to talke to her. She goes up to talk to Bellamy. Tells his goon to "get the hell out of my way." "If he didn't hate us before, he does now."

Relax princess. You know the narrative never puts the weight on that term that the fandom did.

Bellamy thinks they're fighting a way and Clarke things they're not soldiers. Bellamy thinks they can't win if they don't fight. Because Lincoln is intimidating.

Finn is seizing but i gotta say I don't care. The stakes mean nothing because we know he's fine in the end. Except for being an awful person who ends up murderous. So like. That does not draw me into the narrative in retrospect.

Kane walking through the people and having all of them being angry at him does, however, have narrative and character resonance. Surprisingly. Wow. Watching Kane alter his character before our eyes. Jaha is finally doing the right thing and telling the Ark the truth. General assembly. Oh wait. This is section 17 where everyone died. Kane came to the culling site to wallow in his guilt. "If I had waited a day, two days, they'd still be alive."

He knows it was him. He was so sure. He swore an oath to protect them and instead he killed them. (ACAB)

"Pull yourself together Kane, and then get your ass to the mess hall." Okay I don't hate Jaha ALL the time. He's like a midrange fav character for me. I suppose I like him better than Jasper (sorry Jasper fans.) If I look at it that way. L was a midrange fave, too. There are lots of characters I hated more.

Clarke has figured out that the knife was poisoned. They say he doesn't understand her but he does. She's trying to force him. Now she's begging. B is going to torture him to get the antidote. O wants to say this is not who we are. Ironic considering who she became. I do not like the character development of O through the whole series. Honestly. She mostly got worse. Seeing her now and she was way better in s1 even being a bratty kid.

Now they're hitting him. No. We do not like torture. Bellay. You do not like hitting him. Clarke begging again. But he won't so B has to hit him again. Aww. B touches Clarke's shoulder to get her out of the way.

This ep is pretty good honeslty.

Jaha telling the truth. He lied about the 100. Earth is survivable. The Ark is dying. He says the culling gifted the rest of them the time they need to go to the earth. But the people still think he's lying to cover up the culling. The dude says all those people died for nothing. But he literally just said that they gave them time to find a way to get to the ground. The dude is like you don't know how we feel.

I LOST MY SON!!!!

Jaha offers the open seat to Diana Sydney. What? No election? Bad idea. She's a scum bucket.

Back to the torture. Pain is not going to make Lincoln tell the antidote. Sorry Clarke. B is not hapy. Oh no. I forgot he shoved that thing through his hand. Yikes. He tries to get Clarke to leave. Ugh. Bad. That's bad. Ugh.

Oh i forgot about this. Raven without any compunctions. Shocks him with live wires. He screams for the first time.

Oh wow. Is this necessary???

Raven crying because "He's all I have!!" O slices herself with the knife. "HE won't let me die."

B is dying. Not literally. Emotionally. HIS SISTER.

But fucking Lincoln tells her which bottle is the antidote. She won't let B touch her.

This shit is FUCKED UP. Wow.

Finn has been given the antidote. Now Clarke is crying over Finn. "I can't do this without you." UGGGGGGGHHH. I'm gonna throw up.

Oh is the hurrican passing already? Nah. That doesn't happen that quickly. It was like three hours tops and probably less.

Ugh. Clarke is being a total bitch with Aabby. "Dad's dead because of you. You turned him in. I know it. WElls told me everything before he.... He let me believe he did it so I'd hate him instead of you."

"That was never supposed to happen. Jaha was supposed to talk him out of it."

She was used to preferential treatment because Jaha had a crush on her. But he didn't offer that preferrential treatment to her husband. I'm going with season 1. And season 1 had Jaha with a thing for Abby. Even if they didn't go anywhere with it. Maybe Jaha gave it up when Wells died. But that is a narrative motivation in season 1.

Clarke takes the spike out of LIncoln's hand and tries to treat him but he won't let her. God he's stubborn. And he lets Octavia do it. Sorry Lincoln you're being creepy with the teenager. You are NOT a teenager. This is a kid man.

And O is being spiteful because O does that best. But she's so sweet to lincoln about him saving her life. and fair he did. but he was willing to sacrifice ALL of the other kids. Now he speaks english does he?

I was not expecting to not like Lincoln. This is weird. Stop looking at her like that. Ew it's creepy. I was caught up in the narrative before which makes this a romeo and juliet story. But they were both kids and LINCOLN is and has always been an adult. wtf.

UGh now finn is looking at Clarke like she's the love of his life. And CLARKE says "She needs you finn."And she wakes up Raven and says he's asking for her. Which he isn't.

Must I say it again. Dump the limp hair biscuit and hook up with Raven. PRINCESS MECHANIC RULES.

Bellamy and Clarke. Who we are and who we need to be to survive are two very different things.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS FAMOUS BELLAMY QUOTE> IT's just the ends justify the means and I DO NOT AGREE.

"It's not being in charge, is it?"

Ugh Diana Sydney swearing in. HOw many eps before she betrays everyone?

OH THE BAD NEWS. We're going to the ground. NOT ALL OF US. 2237 people on the ark. Room for 700 in the dropships. They're on the titanic and there aren't enough lifeboats.

All right. That was a jam packed episode. And I have to say I liked it a lot. It didn't have any big resolutions. I suppose the knife came out of Finn. But it was a lot of character development.

Kane has his complete personality switch and goes back to his childhood spiritual center.

Abby learns that Clarke knows she told on her dad.

Jaha finds out Wells is dead and begins to slowly lose it.

O defends Lincoln and sacrifices herself to save him and Finn trusting Lincoln and the Romeon and Juliet thing starts.

Bellamy pushes himself to be this emotionless torturer because he thinks it's who he needs to be.

Clarke essentially gives up Finn in favore of Raven. Poor judgement. She should give up fin FOR Raven and both of them should dump him and sneak off to the bunker together. I am not apologizing. Bellarke isn't ready yet. They should be future ex girlfriends.

Miller takes over as Bellamy's lieutenant.

Diana Sydney, one of my least favorite characters, despite my kind of being on her side with the class issues on the ark, shows up and is giving power without any sort of vote at all.

The exodus is set up. Oh i can't wait til they get to the ground.

LOTS of character development. Lot of action.

Man if I could write this instead of them, things would be different. Wells would survive. Raven and Clarke would hook up and support each other for a while. When that broke up, amicably, Bellamy and Wells would be waiting in the wings. Yes. Raven and Wells. She never had a guy worthy of her and he never had a chance to be who he could have been. I would have LOVED to hear them argue. It would be enemies to lovers, because he was Jaha's son and a pompous ass and she was a cocky bastard who has no respect. AWESOME.

sigh. well anyway.

What did y'all think of the ep? I'm not editing this post. We die like teenagers in the apocalypses.

@offeatherandbone asked: ❛❛ All I want for Christmas is peace & quiet. ❜❜ To Murphy from Raven

“THAT’S IT?” Murphy let out an amused chuckle at Raven’s words. “I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong place, REYES.” Murphy bent down, quickly gathering a snowball in his hands and chucking it at Raven. She’d probably kick his ass for this later. “Not in the Christmas spirit?”

A heavy sigh escaped her lips, it was definitely too much to ask. It wasn’t just Murphy either. Why she came to him of all people? She couldn’t answer, it was such a rookie mistake. Raven shoved her hands into her pockets in an attempt to warm up, her breath visible in the air.

“Don’t you dare,” Eyes narrowing as she saw him start to form a snowball. He was more agile than her, mostly because of her injury. “Stop.” Her tone taking on a strict warning tone she attempted to replicate from Clarke.

“Look,” Raven pulled out an old card. It was worn from years of being transported place to place. The handwriting was still clear, if not a bit faded. ‘Happy Birthday, Raven!’ took up the entire center of the card, a few drawings and a lot more words on it. Raven remembered when he gave it to her, just the two of them sitting out staring at space. Her mother had forgotten, hadn’t even came back to their apartment yet. Finn, though, he never forgot. 

“I was cleaning up the closet and I found it tucked inside of my notebooks. As she held it between them, she wrapped an arm around his waist and leaned her cheek against his shoulder as she gave him time to reminisce.

The 100 Characters - Strengths & Weaknesses

*strength=trait a character shows in their best moments & strength=/=prominent skill*

*weakness=trait a character shows in their worst moments & weakness=/=another character*

Clarke Griffin

strength: responsibility

From the moment Clarke was sent to Earth with the rest of the delinquents, she took on the responsibility of keeping them safe. Throughout the years, she earned everyone's respect as a leader thanks to her natural instinct to protect people and her willingness to be held accountable for their actions ("I bare it so they don't have to").

weakness: inconsistency

As Clarke's choices become tougher and her personal motives stronger, she inevitably makes some poor decisions that question her ability to lead. Her 'head over heart' motto is no longer valid as her selfish actions suggest that some people are certainly disposable, but her loved ones can be more important than the survival of the human race.

Bellamy Blake

strength: chivalry

Bellamy is probably the most heroic character in The 100, as he's always willing to risk his life to save others. His good heart often causes him to stay in the sidelines of the more 'important' missions to go on his own rescue missions. His moral values and his belief that every life matters are what push people to be inconditionally loyal to him.

weakness: impulsivity

Valuing the individuals over the collective has a price. In the twisted world of The 100, it is nearly impossible to save the majority without sacrifycing some lives. Unlike Clarke, Bellamy is often blinded by his feelings and focuses on "saving who he can save today", failing to evaluate the long-term consequences of some of his actions that might result in more lives lost.

Octavia Blake

strength: courage

She is not afraid, or more precisely, she conquers her fears. Octavia has always volunteered to do the dirty work while the people in charge watched, and has put herself in danger on countless ocassions. She has offered to sacrifice herself to save others and has never run from a fight, something that even her enemies have agreed makes her a very valuable asset.

weakness: defiance

Because of the years Octavia spent under the floor, she values her freedom over anything else. She has always had trouble following orders, whether they came from her brother, her chancellor or her enemy. This somewhat immature attitude has led to many people getting the wrong idea of who she is and has even put herself and others in dangerous situations.

Raven Reyes

strength: resilience

No matter how tough life gets, Raven is always ready to use her brains to save the world. She is arguably the strongest character in The 100, as she never lets her suffering take her down dark paths. This wonderful ability to stay focused on the lives that still need saving rather than the ones that have already been lost make her an extremely reliable team member.

weakness: judgementality

Raven's moral convictions push her to constantly question and condemn other character's decisions. She fails to acknowledge that sometimes there is no good option and is unempathetic towards anyone behind a decision she doesn't agree with. Once the damage is done, her criticism and animosity don't help much and only contribute to creating an unpleasant atmosphere.

John Murphy

strength: resourcefulness

The things Murphy will do to survive! He functions best in critical moments, when his power of conviction and ability to persuade people get him out of difficult situations. Many of the others know he's the master of escaping death, and are not afraid to assign him the most dangerous tasks. No one's survival is guaranteed on the 100, but counting on Murphy to survive is the safest bet.

weakness: unreliability

Putting your life in the hands of Murphy is not a smart decision. It is frustrating to see him constantly betraying his allies, risking all his previous relationships and putting his friends' lives in danger to save his own skin. Even though he has grown to care about a couple other people, his fear of death is still stronger than his morality.

Echo kom Azgeda

strength: solvency

If you need to get a job done, Echo is your person. She's very goal-oriented and always manages to complete the tasks she's assigned thanks to her impressive skillset. Her willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed in her missions makes her a very dangerous enemy and a very valuable ally.

weakness: loyalty

Like a soldier in battle, Echo's priority has always been duty and obedience. As a result of her upbringing and training as a spy, she doesn't understand human emotion and acts without questioning how her actions might hurt others' or her own feelings. Her way of operating causes conflicts with her friends, who do not share her view that the end justifies the means.

Emori kom Sangedakru

strength: adaptability

Emori's successful strategy to stay alive involves finding out what the superior faction is and becoming a part of it. She goes out of her way to adopt different forms and make herself useful at all times. Whatever the circumstances, Emori is ready and willing to fill whichever position needs filling, and help wherever help is needed.

weakness: distrust

If there's a character that won't ever get played, that is Emori. She doesn't feel safe with pretty much anyone, partly due to her insecurities and her history of being discriminated and banished. Her conviction that others find her disposable pushes her to act selfishly and manipulatively, which often backfires and results in others actually being resentful towards her.
