#Jason Rothenberg

[stargirlie25]

Jason had a habit of setting up the most perfect enemies to lovers only to not go through with it. I just love that!!! *eye twitches*

[atrocities-inc]

If I had a nickel for every time a beloved series of mine had a terrible last season with so many character assassinations and a plot that made no sense, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

Looking at you Jason Rothenberg and Steve Blackman…

[imruination]

Sometimes I think about the

Spike

to-

Logan Echolls

to-

Bellamy Blake

pipeline and the fact they they were all hated by (later outted to be extremely problematic) showrunners for having stereotypically feminine character traits, and for daring to give their “tough badass” FMC counterparts the option of a happy ending …. But that’s none of my business

🏳️‍🌈Day 23: Lexa & Clarke (The 100)🤎🖤

I don't even know what this show is about. But even if it's a simple drawing I had fun doing it. Hey! what a beautiful actresses.

HAPPY PRIDE MISAMORES ya casi se acaba el mes 🥺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Remember: i'm drawing a lgbt canon couple daily for pride month, follow me or check my profile to see the rest!🏳️‍🌈 Thanks for the support!

[dragynkeep]

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!

It’s also the reason that ADC refused to take Jrat’s calls until the very end, and even then, she only did it for the fans. He truly hurt a lot of people by letting his ego get in the way. That is also the reason you haven’t really heard from Jrat since. He fucked up his career. He had a chance to go out peacefully with Clexa fans, but instead he chose to stick the knife in our ribs because he REALLY hated us.

It’s interesting because we’ve never had jrot write Clexa. Every episode that’s been credited to him has had NO direct clexa interaction. This was the first. And you can clearly see from the way she was written in this episode, that this is how he always saw her. A plot device. A pit stop. The one dimensional fantasy character that exists to help the hero on their noble quest and sacrifices themselves so the hero can move forward. Just a blip on the radar.

THAT’S WHY ALL THIS HAPPENED.

Everyone else on the writing team (production and directors as well) was developing Lexa as a multidimensional character, layering her, developing clexa, giving them true meaning, making it a real and true relationship with powerful characters, but jrot never thought of it that way and didn’t have anything to do with it. The minute his “idea” came in to take over with the AI plot we saw Lexa instantly erased and she become a plot device, flip her dead body over, cut out the AI, and ooooooohhhhh let’s all pay attention to that now!

Lexa in the finale (while ADC and Eliza did a great job in showing the affection and love and relief between the two to the best of their ability) was just written as a plot device to help Clarke out in the ‘matrix’ for a few minutes. “It’s a firewall.” Jfc. Really. Lexa’s gonna talk about firewalls and ALIE and software updates? She was written in to give Clarke a little boost along her journey, something for the fans to go “yay! lexa shows up!”, and it was so painfully obvious. He didn’t even believe they warranted an “I love you” parting until after shit went down with 3x07 and then ADR’d and edited the fuck out of this episode to try and ease some of the backlash. Sorry, but no. In his mind, Lexa was the little fantasy creature in an epic adventure quest to help the hero out in their time of need and when her job was done, she outlived her usefulness once again, and she was gone.

I’m not upset about it really because a) I already grieved for Lexa and b) it was SUCH a poorly written/edited episode that it’s almost comical. I mean, COMICALLY BAD. So I can’t take it seriously. But in Jrottenburger’s mind, Lexa was never anything more than someone to give Clarke a little boost over the fence.

I thank everyone on that writing staff who saw her as more and wrote her accordingly despite their boss’ shortcomings and utter lack of vision/creativity.

Thought I had long since made my peace with the tragedy of show!Bellarke, but was randomly reminded of when Bellamy was traipsing around the woods with Josephine outside Sanctum, and we all thought it would be Day Trip 2.0, and Bellamy would hear some form of Clarke’s radio calls from the 2199 days. Yeah, we were clowns, but it also would’ve been so??? easy??? to include the radio calls??? But instead they were literally ignored basically as soon as Bellamy and Clarke made up fully during the lanterns scene. You’re telling me that Gabriel’s camp pulls in radio calls from every other planet introduced to us, and yet there’s not even a mention or reference to Clarke’s calls to Bellamy? It was the basis upon which they rebuilt their relationship, and it doesn’t even get a single line??? And I’m not even talking a whole dramatic love confession over the radio, it would’ve been enough to see Bellamy hear even one of her most mundane calls. His expression at realizing that Madi and Clarke were NOT exaggerating when they admitted to the radio calls. That they really were every damn day. And it even could’ve been one we’d heard before, or of a similar vein. But no. That’s the line they drew in baiting us. I’m so spitting mad over this again, and trust me, I was apoplectic over this when it was first happening (once I had scrapped myself off the ceiling after the CPR scene, that is, and wow, what an amazing scene used as bait!!! But not the radio calls, no no, that’s too far!!). Jason Rothenberg, you are forever on my shit list.

[flodaya]

literally my roman empire

[userlaylivia]

i really hate writers/showrunners who COMPLETELY ignore the fans and the people who made their show what it was and the fans who deserve better!! like honor your characters and ships that watched your show, honor the fans because without us you wouldn't of even made it as long as you did!! your shows wouldn't exist without us!!!!

[rhaenin-time]

Before HOTD revived a lot of activity, people would be like, "Damn, HBO did a finale so bad that they killed a fandom in a way that's never been done before or since."

As if The 100 creative team didn't watch the GOT fallout and say, "Hold my beer."

"She portrayed Clarke with such skill and finesse through the years, and she embodied happiness, grief, fear, bitterness, love, guilt, and every other emotion under the sun. Her performance was already captivating, but then in Season 6 when she played two very different characters, and there was never a moment when she was Josephine that I questioned it. It reminded me so much of the Elena vs. Katherine acting prowess that Nina Dobrev showed on TVD. We always knew which character was which because the actor portrayed them so very distinctly."—foragoodtimenotalongtime

Well, we all know why it's not been talked about it enough - cause everything was left in the shadow of the disaster called Season 7 and all the crap in it.

'The Expendables 3' - A Franchise Killer

WRITER’S NOTE: This review was written in 2014. I was really looking forward to the third “Expendables” movie ever since I saw the teaser trailer which was scored to the theme for “Bridge on the River Kwai.” None of the films in this franchise will ever be mistaken for high art, but they bring about a much-needed nostalgia workout which many of us have for the action movies from the 1980’s.…

[delicatebluebirdruins]

I'm fine I'm over Bell being killed by Clarke its fine

see's a post in the Valeveira tag about Claire shooting Carlos for flirting with Jill

nope I lied i am not over that specific part of the season 7 debacle

[dragynkeep]

I don't know about you but the earthborns and the two factions of them that we meet in the books are vastly superior from the grounders and all of that shit like it makes sense them all being in the bunker and split because of reasons its been awhile

(I still want to kick Jason and KShum for saying he based them off of minions and buddhists and ADC I also want to kick for the bindi)

no absolutely because we actually go in depth into the earthborns & how they devolved into these factions, & it's actually compelling. we had the grounders for 6 seasons & knew absolutely fuck all about them or how they function beyond trikru at most.

sasha is an excellent way into just how the earth born function, as well as her discussions with wells highlighting even more of the dysfunctionality of the colony — aka why do they all speak english if it was supposed to be equal in who came onto the colony's stations.

jason & kshum can eat rocks, adc too for specifically recommending the heda symbol as a bindi. the fact her fans still defend her for this & the brownface is just so, ugh. i hate the way lexa / the grounders are handled & how these issues seem to be rampant in them.

[togepi]

the 100 literally traumatized me so bad like i have never had such a tumultuously catastrophic relationship with a piece of fiction before

[userlaylivia]

my last post because I just watched a video from 716 but after this post I won't rant anymore about the 100 except in the tags lol here's the thing, it's not even just bellarke wasn't endgame or that they never even kissed or said ily though those things I'll always be mad about but if they weren't going to have them end up together they should've just left him dead in the beginning of s7 then bellarke wouldn't of been tainted and trust me I still adore them completely they'll always be otp but then bringing him back just to kill him and how they did it angered me and always will ugh no they brought him back making us think she'd save him just like he did in s6 but no they had her kill him and I think they did that to say a final f u to bellarke shippers because why else do it it literally made no sense, clarke could've NEVER killed bellamy and anyone believing she could even to save madi watched a different show!! she couldn't kill him to save the human race and never could've killed him to save madi idc!! sorry but s7 doesn't exist, it made absolutely no sense, all the characters were ooc and it was boring af!! them not even grieving for him let alone trying to save him was ooc and never would've happened so s7 is not the 100 I know or love it's a completely different show, a terrible season and was unnecessary!! the show ended at 613 end of the story!!
