LOTR (films) Review

So I finally watched the LOTR films (20 years later). I’m super excited to review these because I read the books very recently so I feel at least a little prepared to voice some opinions. Overall I loved the films, here’s a very long (but by no means exhaustive) compilation of my thoughts, which are of course, totally subjective:

(Warning: a lot of me saying “well, actually, in the book...”)

THINGS I LIKED

- Casting! not much to say here, I thought the casting was great. One of my favorite actors that I didn’t think i’d have a huge opinion on was David Wenham as Faramir. I was kinda ambivalent on him when I saw pictures but i thought he did a great job. he showed his quality.

- Music. so much has been said about the films on the music front. I can’t offer too much original insight but when a bit of the Shire theme started to play as Frodo tries to make his way up Mount Doom I cried a little.

- Boromir and Aragorn. I liked the scene where they interact a little in Rivendell. I also like how Aragorn saves Boromir in the Moria battle and gives him this little nod of friendship. I think the films did a great job portraying the dynamic they have where Aragorn is clearly suspicious of Boromir’s motivations but grows to respect him to the point where he doesn’t even blame Boromir for being corrupted by the ring because he understands that, at heart, Boromir is a good person. 

- Sam and Frodo in Osgiliath. I expected to be kind of annoyed with the way this plot point played out (I knew ahead of time that it strayed from the book), but I actually liked it a lot. As I’ll say later, there’s some gripes I have with the way the films extremely play up the disagreements between Frodo and Sam, but I loved the scene where Frodo pulls the sword on Sam and then seems so defeated when he realizes what he’s done. I was pleasantly surprised by how emotional this scene made me. It’s admittedly A Lot, but it was done nicely, especially in conjunction with Sam’s “there’s good in this world” speech.

- Treatment of the ending. I almost think I should dislike the ending as it is in the movies, but my heart is soft and I like that they sugarcoated it a bit. I know the whole point of the Scouring of the Shire and Frodo’s depression conveys a lot about war and trauma and I think that is important, but after watching these things for twelve hours I just wanted Frodo & co. to be happy and I was kinda relieved that they cut the Scouring. Does that make me weak and perhaps bad at film analysis? yes. do I care? no. I was also very glad that the movies didn’t portray how depressed Sam was about losing Frodo in the end. Yes, he cries, but when he walks home to his family he seems happy and in the books that scene came off so much bleaker. I definitely liked the lighter tone.

THINGS I WAS NEUTRAL ON/DIDN’T LIKE

- Arwen. (Neutral) I don’t hate her, I don’t love her. I think the story she and Aragorn have is compelling and I 100% get why the filmmakers decided to add it to give her character more depth, but it felt misplaced at times. maybe it’s just because it was the only storyline I didn’t know in depth, but the scenes with the Arwen/Aragorn flashbacks felt a bit confusing and disorienting. Don’t have anything against Arwen as a character though, I think she’s pretty alright.

- Gimli. (Complicated thoughts) I want to start off by saying I don’t dislike Gimli. I like him a lot! I just think the movies did him a bit dirty. He had some good movie-exclusive moments, but I think his character really fell into this place of being the butt of too many jokes. Would have liked to see some more serious Gimli development, especially with his relationship to Legolas. Their friendship felt too much like subtext here, whereas it’s explored far more in the books.

- Two Towers Pacing. (Didn’t really like). The pacing of TTT was...weird. maybe I’m going into this with a closed mind because of the books, but it was odd to have the movie begin with Frodo and Sam and then have them only appear for a few rapid scenes after that. I think the fact that a WHOLE LOT of what happens to Frodo and Sam in TTT is moved to RotK is what makes it feel that way? In the books, Two Towers ends with Sam discovering that Frodo isn’t dead from Shelob’s sting, and I was surprised by how long it took the movies to get to that part. However, I will give the films a little leeway because I think they needed Frodo & Sam content for RotK, since most of what happens in that book is them walking through Mordor basically starving and dying. Doesn’t make for great cinema I guess, so they had to put the whole Shelob/Cirith Ungol saga into the final film. Still, I think there’s a weird lack of Frodo and Sam’s presence in TTT.

- The go home/missing bread arc. (Full of rage abt this one) yeah. so. my criticism of this is gonna sound pretty tired because people complain and complain about this part of RotK. but I’m gonna complain some more!! I don’t think the split between Frodo and Sam does anything for the plot. I really don’t. I guess it emphasizes the fact that Sam doesn’t understand how much Frodo is projecting onto Gollum, but it’s just. unnecessary angst? They had enough angst in the Osgiliath scene! Which I actually liked! And it simply doesn’t make a lot of sense for Frodo to suspect Sam of eating the bread when Sam had already offered Frodo his own food and made it clear that he would very much starve if it meant making sure Frodo could eat. But what I hate most about this scene is not that Frodo gets mad and tells Sam to go home. No. It’s that Sam actually... thinks about doing that? he actually? goes down the staircase? emotionally this is bad because Sam clearly cared enough about Frodo to follow him this far, to nearly drown for him, so why would he leave now. Practically this is bad because 1. how would Sam get out of Mordor alone and 2. where would he go. He turns around almost immediately, yes, but what was his plan. where was he going. why.

THINGS I LOVED

- For Frodo! This line, and every other shoutout to Frodo. In the books, they didn’t really actively talk about/worry about Frodo (and Sam) as much as they do in the movies. I like that they talk about Frodo more in the movies! I like that they’re thinking about him! I know it was implied that they were in the books, but I really like how it’s shown here. I think it gave a more complete picture of how much they all care about him on a personal level in addition to just needing him to succeed from a pragmatic standpoint. 

- Merry and Pippin! I feel like Merry and Pippin were so well rounded in the films. I’ve heard criticism about them being turned into comic relief characters (which they always were a little bit) but it honestly didn’t feel that way to me. They had a bit of a rough start because the films didn’t make their motives for going with Frodo as deep as the books did, but I think that by TTT they were absolutely amazing characters in every scene. In RotK their respective arcs hit really well and the scene where Pippin is singing to Denethor? *chef’s kiss* poetic. beautiful. sad. idk man I just feel like I have such a newfound appreciation for Merry and Pippin.

- Parallels! people have pointed out the parallel of Frodo and Sam’s hands before (drowning scene/mount doom scene) and I love how the movie did that. Just stunning. Also! The moving of the Smeagol & Deagol scene to RotK surprised me because in the books it was like,,,at the beginning of Fellowship, but I think the placement of it in the movies really helped emphasize the similarities between Smeagol & Deagol and Frodo & Sam (and how much Frodo fears this similarity.) There were a lot of other well done parallels between storylines and a few bits of dialogue that were repeated with great timing, but I can’t remember all of them at the moment.  

Edit: here’s one I remembered! when Frodo wakes up after being rescued and sees Gandalf, he says Gandalf’s name in a very similar tone to the one he used at the very beginning of Fellowship. It was a nice little subtle connection.

- I can’t carry it for you...alright this is self-indulgent. everyone knows I love this line. I’m just so glad it made it into the movie intact. Sean Astin’s delivery was amazing. I cheered. My mom cheered. It’s a raw line and it makes me feel secret emotions...like if shrimp colors were feelings. that line makes me feel shrimp feelings. idk i’m so tired i just watched twelve hours of movies this review is decreasing in quality by the minute but i’m about done for now anyway

Various silly afterthoughts

- I would have liked to see Sam kiss Frodo’s hands at least once. This happens 50 thousand times in the books, they could have given me one scene. one little extended edition scene. Please Peter Jackson I’m dyin’ out here

- They literally made Gollum so hateable. kinda the point yes, but I was so on board with Sam’s murderous rage. I know why Gollum’s a profoundly complex character, I know why Frodo pities him, I know why murder is bad, but I too would throw hands with that creature. also he literally body shamed Sam so much what was that skdjksdjksd. Sam is lovely. let him commit a small homicide. 

- the scene where merry and pippin drink the tall boy juice (as someone once referred to it in the tags of one of my posts)... not accurate to the books (since they don’t ever drink it with the end goal of getting tall) but so accurate to life. if I found some water that made me taller than my friends? let me at it

- Frodo panicking when he falls into the spider webs. so real bestie. i felt just as panicked watching that. i am terrified of spiders and Elijah Wood did an amazing job doing exactly what i’d do in the situation. yelping a lot and falling down.

- I feel like it’s never stated that Sam’s a gardener (or at least that he’s specifically Frodo’s gardener) until he tells Faramir he is. Did I miss this. Or do they really never say.  are you just meant to know. are you just meant to pick up gardener vibes from him.

This has been a very chaotic lotr movie review. Thanks for reading.

"Everything means something": The past, the present and the future

Ouroboros, the episode full of clues for speculations

Hello again my friends, this is the second part of my metas, you can read the first one here.

This will be a meta about symbolism and visual narrative. And I will try to share with you some clues I could see that maybe lead us to interesting and fun specs.

I hope you can enjoy this. Let's start.

Cannibalism and "eating things"

This is such a symbolic topic. Being Noah a monster that ate human flesh, is so symbolic that it hurts.

First of all, this was foreshadowing the end of the episode. Dean saying at the beginning of the episode: Who let that some eats you? Is very meaningful quote, NOBODY WOULD LET SOMEONE ELSE EATS YOU, but what if you can't see that is being eaten??? Dean carrying with Michael inside, trying to keep him locked, is a kind of risk, he won't let Michael eats him.

Then we have the place where Dean, Cas and Jack were to visit. The name was... "EL SABROSO" it means THE TASTEFUL.

Pic credit to my dear friend @agusvedder

Who is the tasteful here? Aww... My little perverted minded friends... Isn't Castiel for Dean.. please focus... But... Now that you mention it... 😏💕🤣🤣

It will be Michael, as we saw by the end, and Jack saying: "Eat others is to be a monster." My sweet nougat boy... He will eat the tasteful grace of Michael.

Another "thing" eaten were EYES. This Gorgon ate eyes to see fate/future. But also, you know what they say, "The eyes are the reflection from the soul", then, this demi God could see true desires. He ate eyes to see. And this is a very, very interesting point here, because the demi God was the one who can see, a BISEXUAL MONSTER, and Michael was who let blind TFW, but mostly, Dean.

Very important was the fable about the black snake and the eggs, related with Jack and his fulfillment of his fate by killing and eaten Michael's grace, so the danger here is the lesson of the fable again, who is Jack? Is he the snake or the chicken? And before Michael died, he flew over Jack as a circle, like the snake that bites his own tail.

Another mention of danger was Roweena mentioning the magic inside Jack as a parasite, you know this organisms live feeding from the host, so could be perfectly related to Dean too, with Michael inside his head, also Michael himself said it I'M THE COMMANDER OF THE HOST.

Colors: DESTIEL AND TFW

Before we start to talk about it, you should read why I'm talking about colors here.. well each color represents a TFW member Because his meaning, isn't the first time writers use this visual narrative, you can check out my color meta from Mint Condition here, in which I explained the meaning of each color and why represents a specific member of TFW.

DESTIEL color coded

Let's start with the color of neon lights from the motel...

Green and Blue! Then, that memorable moment where Castiel was kissed by the bisexual monster, watch the colors from the picture behind Cas.

Mhm... Blue and green again.

And now I want to remind you this pic from "Optimism" written by Jockey too.. watch the walls behind the word AMORE (Love), and this was an observation from my dearest friend @weirddorkylittlediana

This color is a mix between blue and green, is the darker color on the wall draws... Now... Watch the walls from the motel from last episode...

Pic credit @agusvedder

Is the mix between blue and green in the darker color, also a kind of snake skin too.

I already talked about the red mug and the green mug in my first meta, here I just wanted to point two chairs seen in a frame, a red one and a blue one...

You can see it in the first pic a put in this meta or in the following point...

TFW color coded and squares.

In the place where was the Destiel date we had this chairs

Here 👆 yellow chair with a blue one (Sam/Jack and Castiel) and red with blue (Dean and CAS, but... Toxic! Dean...) And the squares representing four points, the four members of TFW 2.0.

We can see squares also in this frame.

Behind Sammy.

About snakes and desert

This was certainly, an episode where "Everything means something" as Roweena said, and using Snakes and Desert sceneries, had a propose.

Desert symbolism

Yes... Desert sands!

The desert has a lot of meanings, the most important is the representation of TEST, Jesus and the Hebrews were 40 day on the desert, and they suffered temptations by Satan and they were tested. It is also a place for retirement and meditation, to searching himself, self knowledge. Is so accurate with Jack and Dean's journeys this season.

Snake symbolism

And here we have much more meanings!

You can see a desert with a snake behind Castiel, and the Mexican man's house decorated as a desert, with sand colors on the walls, and even there was a cactus. And the draws on the carpet again reminding us the snake skin.

But what it means? As I put in my pre meta thoughts here, the snake means knowledge, the soul that gestates itself in a new skin. Eternity, immortality, TIME AND CYCLES. LIGHT AND SPIRITUAL SUN.

With all this symbolic interpretations, I want you to pay attention to the following...

Jack kept the snake from Noah (also Noah was 40 days on the Arc when God made rain on Earth inundating it and renewing it, the new beginning), but yeah, he kept the snake, bc it represents knowledge, and Jack wanted to know about that fable Noah had told him, the snake and the chicken.

But by the end of the episode, when he faces Michael, we had this cycling between three scenes:

MICHAEL TORTURING TFW IN FRONT OF JACK

1)The first one (and it reminded me Zachariah torturing Dean and Sam in 5x01) Michael drowning TFW.

2)Michael made blind TFW

3)Michael gave TFW a huge pain

MICHAEL SELF REVELATION

Michael naming himself as...

1)The commandant of the host

2)The cleaner of the worlds

3)Whom won't be defeated by a child

JACK SELF REVELATION

1) "I'm the son of Lucifer"

2)"I'm a hunter"

3)"I'm a Winchester"

How we related this, the first points: drowning/commandant of the host/Lucifer is talking about possesion, naming Lucifer, we could be talking about past or future. Or both, this is Ouroboros...

The second points: blindness/cleaner of the worlds/hunter, is talking about present, Michael thought he could defeat Dean, but the truth is he was blind, the real cleaners of the world are the hunters, as Jack, killing monster, like Michael. But also and because we had that bisexual monster playing around eating eyes to see, is talking about Dean's blindness and necessity of self acceptance as a bisexual who loves a man.

Third points: pain/defeated/Winchester, and I can make a little of spec here, but maybe in the last point of this meta... But... This has to do with FUTURE and with the talk Castiel had with Jack about surviving and losing the Winchester brothers... PAIN WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER THEM. Sad but true.

And now... Time for a little spec...

"Fate is cruel and bored"

This are just specs I thought with some evidence on the pocket, so let's play this game with Yockey's clues!

Lovers separation

I keep this spec since 14x06 and now I would say, is still strong... And not just that, I could figure out another scene from 14x11 that I couldn't understand till now... Here...

Pics credit @weirddorkylittlediana

Here we have Noah seeing DEAN ALONE without Castiel... How is that? Because he couldn't see angels?? Yeah perhaps, but it has a more revealing meaning... That wasn't the immediate future... That was FATE. DEAN WILL BE ALONE. And why I say this? Because in 14x11 the twin opened the door and we, the audience, just saw Dean, Sam was there, but we just saw Dean. Conclusion??? Is a foreshadow for the end of this season??? Are all gonna die but Dean? Or maybe Dean will be trapped in some another dimension? Kidnapped by AUKaia?? IDK... Or maybe as my friend @emblue-sparks says... Dean could die.

Jack becoming a new cosmic creature

Like one of the snake meanings, Jack could be the soul that gestates itself, and because this episode could be readed as a parallel of THE FUTURE 12x19, he could fullfil his fate by bringing Paradise to Earth. Let's see... Bc maybe he is soulless now, and could become a real danger.

The return of Lucifer

I know, I know... But the first points I marked up here... From the self revelation scene... Gives me bad vibes... And also I'm still doubting that thing that woke up when Nick was praying could be The Empty, I mean... I had compared the Empty waking up in season 13 with this Terminator thing and... They don't look the same... Sorry and red eyes? The empty doesn't have colors in his eyes... So... Idk..m I don't like this spec sorry.

Still waiting for the talk and the moves (holding hands)

I'm still waiting here for this, because the talk they had it wasn't a complete one, Toxic!Dean came to sabotage the plan, so... Let's wait... And the holding hands!!! Yesssss.

To conclude

Visual narrative in Dabb's era plays an important role for subtext.

This episode was talking about SEE AND DON'T WANT TO SEE, about Bisexuality and fears.

It also takes about self knowledge and self revelation, Jack as a mirror of Dean, who has to give those self Revelations steps, and get out from his prison.

The fable of the black snake with the wise lesson is a bittersweet flavor beacuse now we just don't know who Jack is. The chicken or the snake.

I hope you like it! This one was large... I see you in my DESTIEL meta.

[cupcakeblake]

Of course, of course! Let me use names, it might make it more understandable :) But feel free to switch their roles! "Modern AU: Clarke can't sleep at night; Bellamy often wakes up with nightmares. He ends up seeing all of her late night Snapchats and Instagram posts. Cue adorable late night talks, etc." Hope this helps!

I twisted it a little bit because Im incapable of writing angst… So it’s Bellamy having weird dreams and Clarke not sleeping at night! Social Media Au!

thank you @bellamybb for reading this over! tagging some people who showed interested in this @francyfifty @prongsno​ and also @selflessbellamy​ @marauders-groupie​ @boob-morley​ @hiddenpolkadots​ because i want your thoughts on this

Keeping me up at night

ClarkeGriffin: Should I stop drinking coffee or should I continue not sleeping atnight?

           Octavia Blake, Raven Reyes, Wells Jaha and 6 others likedthis.

           Wells Jaha:you’re gonna die at 30

           Raven Reyes:you could never stop drinking coffee. Rip friend. Nice knowing you.

Clarke wasn’t a big sleeper. Everhad been. Apparently, she didn’t need a lot of sleep to function.

However, she needed a lot ofcaffeine.

Her phone vibrated with a newFacebook notification: Bellamy Blakecommented on your post.

          Bellamy Blake: I knew you were a fake. Idon’t sleep at night by my own means thank you very much.

She smiled and immediatelyanswered.

           Clarke Griffin:yeah you’re right. Coffee got me awake since im a baby…

           Bellamy Blake:clearly. Don’t do drugs kids.

She didn’t know Bellamy thatwell. She only met him once for one of Octavia’s birthday party but theysomehow ended up following each other on most social medias. She wasn’tcomplaining because he was fun and he seemed to not sleeping at nights, justlike her, and they always ended up talking through the night… She liked him.

Clarke laughed out loud when she saw the picture Bellamy sent her inreply of her story. She opened the messaging system and typed:

           C: so what’s the problem tonight mister-weird-dream?

           B: Have you ever dreamed you were in space?

           C: of course. what do you think am i? an amateur?

           B: fair enough.

           B: but how was it for you? because it was weird for me

           C: you sound like you tried some new weird sex thing

           B: why are you messaging me again?

           C: i like the weird sex stories (:

           B: this conversation is over.

           C: come on… distract me im bored

           B: well go to sleep.

           C: haha funny

           B: I try.

           C: anyway when i dreamed i was in space i was alone floating in thesky something aesthetic like that?

           B: okay…

           C: what? What did you dreamed about?

           B: earth was destroyed, people lived in space in a weird ship? Andthere was a fucked up system where people were sent in prison for anything? idk

           C: you’re really weird

           B: thanks.

It was actually a little weirdthat they didn’t run into each other yet. They did live in the same city. Theydid have friends in common. It was only a matter of time… And apparently, timewas up.

Clarke had her eyes fixed onher phone, her bag falling of her shoulder, her hair falling in front of hereyes, the phone in one hand, a cup of coffee on the other one. She bumped intosomebody, spilled her drink. And of course, it was Bellamy.

“Oh I’m so sorry! I’ll get youcleaned up, I’m sorry I wasn’t looking!”

“Relax, princess, I wasn’tlooking either.”

Only then – only after hearingthe nickname – she leveled her gaze up and met his. Bellamy Blake was wayprettier in real life.

“Oh it’s you.” She just saidand she winced because what the fuck wasthat?

He laughed. “I’m sorry to be adisappointment.”

Her eyes widened. “Oh no! Ididn’t mean… I’m sorry-”

“Hey relax. I was just messingwith you.” He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair. Clarke simply blinkedtwice.

“You’re still wet.” She said,because clearly she was weird and he had a bad effect on her. He raised aneyebrow at her, a small smirk forming on his lips. “I mean… You still coveredin coffee…”

He licked his lips then andClarke blinked once more.

“Clearly” he said “but exceptif you have a shirt in your bag I don’t know how this situation would evolveany time soon.” The smirk was fully on his lips then. So she rolled her eyes.

“Okay Mister Smart-Pants. I’msorry I ruined your very basic and very brown shirt. I’ll buy you another oneone day if you want.”

“Wow someone is cranky.” Buthe was still smiling.

“I need coffee to function.But you got my cup all over yourself so…”

“How is it my fault now?”

“You did say you were not lookingeither, remember.”

“It was your coffee! Youshould have watch out!”

“Okay Mister-Weird-Dream youshould stop right now because-”

She didn’t have the chance tofinish her sentence because Octavia showed up right at this moment. Oh right.She was supposed to meet Octavia. Not her brother.

“Hey O.” Bellamy said, thesmirk still on his lips.

“Hi… Bellamy? Clarke…” Octaviahad a confused look on her face and Clarke couldn’t really blame her.

“So I was going to the malland Clarke spilled her coffee all over me… I’m gonna go now!”

He went in the directionOctavia came. Clarke could still see him smirk at her and wave as he lookedover his shoulder.

“Why were you flirting with mybrother, Clarke?” Clarke choked on nothing and scoffed.

“I was not!”

Later that day she received atext from Bellamy.

10:34pm [Bellamy] You owe me a shirt.

10:35pm [Clarke] Well you owe me a coffee jerk. She replied. Andit was only later that she got the date subtext… Oh well…

           C: I hardlysleep… and it was maybe when I was five?

           B: you dreamedyou were a dragon destroying earth at five?

           Octavia Blake and John Murphy liked this.

           Clarke Griffin:Read, watch TV, have sex, learn a new language, draw, pull pranks on yourroommates, cook or eat, do your laundry, dance naked on your living room, takea bath, write a novel, watch videos of funny cats on youtube, rewatch yourfavorite tv show, go visit the city at night, take pictures, annoy all yourfacebook friends with pointless posts?

           John Murphy:Are you volunteering to have sex with Bellamy, Griffin?

           Nathan Miller:Clarke you can’t… You just can not tell Bellamy to dance naked in the livingroom. Sometimes I get up at night and I don’t want to be terrified for life.

2:45pm [Clarke] So I’ve got you anew shirt.

3:02pm [Bellamy] Great. I bet Icould find a place to find you a new coffee.

3:03pm [Bellamy] meet me at CostaCoffee? At 5?

3:05pm [Clarke] in England???

3:05pm [Bellamy] why are youmaking this so difficult?

BecauseI’m nervous as hell…

Clarke breathed deeply beforeanswering.

3:07pm [Clarke] Yeah okay

It was definitely a date. Ifwe were defining it by how much Clarke was freaking out. She was pacing. Shealready thought of changing of outfits to look nicer. She checked her make-up,her hair. She was freaking pathetic.

She only had herself to blame.She sent him the text. But she had missed him… Since that Facebook post hedidn’t interact with her as much as he used to. And she missed him.

3:34pm [Clarke] I might like yourbrother a little more than I thought

3:35pm [Octavia] shocking

She smiled at her phone,seeing in her friend’s sarcasm a blessing of sort?

3:35pm [Clarke] i might have adate with him?

3:35pm [Octavia] what do you mean /might/have?

3:36pm [Clarke] well we didn’texactly use the word “date” but we’re meeting for coffee?

3:37pm [Octavia] just go clarkeyou’ll figure it then

And she did. She showed up afew minutes before 5 but he was already there. She resisted fixing her skirtand walked to him. He welcomed her with a big smile and her heart did a funnything.

“Hi, Clarke.” His voice wassoft. He looked perfectly calm and at ease. She sat in front of him and relaxedunder his gaze. “What are you taking? My treat.”

“Well, it was the deal” shegrinned. But her face immediately turned into a horrified one.

“Wha- What Clarke? What’shappening?”

“I… Err, I forgot your shirt?”

He didn’t say anything for afew seconds, didn’t move an inch. Clarke began to take a deep breathe butBellamy bursted out laughing.

“That’s seriously notimportant” he smiled a little shy but with the same soft face.

She bit her lips, suddenlyoverwhelmed.

“You’re paying then? I thinkgonna take a mocha and a donut and…”

Clarke barely heard her phoneringing under the shower. She made it in time just before it goes to thevoicemail. She answered it without looking at the number.

“Hi?”

“Clarke, hi?”

“Bellamy?”

“Yeah… I’m sorry… I shouldn’thave called… You probably have other things to do.”

“Bellamy it’s 2 in themorning… I have literally nothing to do right now. What’s up?”

“It’s nothing really… But youwere the only one I know who could be up this late…”

“No problem seriously.”

“I had this dream…”

“You always have weirddreams.”

“It was more like a nightmareactually…”

“Oh.”

She listened to him as he toldher about this nightmare. How he dreamed he was 10 again when his step dad beathis mother and how he would hide Octavia to protect her. And then he was backinto the present time and this man came back into their lives and manipulatedOctavia who ended up in the hospital because of him but blamed Bellamy foreverything…

Clarke listened as his voicebroke with a few sobs sometimes, showing how deeply he loved his sister and howimportant she was for him.

When he was done, shewhispered a few words, letting now that everything was okay, that he couldcount on her. Always.

They moved on on another topicand spent the night talking to each other, discovering the last parts theydidn’t know about each other.

1:54am [Clarke] are you taking ascreenshot of every one of my snaps?

1:56am [Bellamy] yes and?

1:57am [Clarke] nothing.

2:03am [Clarke] i do the same

3:02am[Clarke] I still have your shirt.

3:04am[Bellamy] my shirt?

3:04am[Clarke] you know the brown hideous one i got you to replace thebrown hideous one i’ve ruined with coffee

3:05am[Bellamy] oh that shirt.

3:05am[Clarke] yes. want it?

3:05am[Clarke] im at your door.

Bellamyopened the door and it was the most beautiful view Clarke could imagine.Bellamy wearing a large shirt and some sport pants as pyjamas. Looking at herlike she was stars.

“Could we date?” She blurted out. “Like really date?With kissing and maybe more. And spending afternoons at each other’s place. Andhold hands, I really would like to hold your hands like always.”

She seemed to realize that she said that completelyout of the blue and blushed. But it wasn’t really out of the blue, was it?

“You know what I mean… I got your shirt” she addedlifting a bag.

“I couldn’t care any less about the shirt, Clarke”Bellamy said, his voice deep.

“I’ve made of these efforts to find the exact same oneas this ugly shirt you wore that day and you’re telling me you don’t care?That’s rude, Bellam-”

“Clarke, shut up” he said as he put a hand on herwaist and bringing her against his chest. She laughed and put a hand on it. Sheraised her eyes then, to meet his and smiled, biting her lips slowly.

“Could we date?” She repeated as his lips weredescending to hers. She was smiling way to much to be a proper kiss but shedidn’t care and he didn’t seem to either. She fold her arms behind his neck toput him even closer and he almost lost his balance.

“Let’s date” he finally said between kisses.

Octavia Blake posteda new picture of you.

Herewe go. Bellamy and Clarke being the worst couple ever. Delete them from theInternet please.
