#btw i hc them both as bi with preference to women but still liking men

[thequimmqueen]

Also this isnt related to lisa but how abt akari and wendy? They do canonically see each other - amii

I mean, Yeah :D it has potential..

If i had to think of a way they start seeing each other as more than their Engineer-Motorcycle Rider status, It would maybe be Because Wendy's friends with Allan and Goes often to The Mocharia, and being there when she and allan chat made her curious of her person aside her job and started liking her more as time went by!

Also,I can totally see Allan giving Akari Wendy's number as her wingman ;D especially cause in my hcs akari and Boomer feel depressed for breaking up (and are too proud to apologize) so Allan helps her out with that and also find her a new partner ;D

differentstarlightsublime mentioned you in a post

@fuckyeahhayleywilliams​ and @dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou​ and @gritandoengay​ I have not seen homophobic remarks from any Bellarke stans and if so, very few. No one is erasing the fact she was with Lexa. Hell, no one should be erasing the fact they loved each other. In fact Clexa was overcoming my Bellarke love but the fact that they had so little time made Bellarke my final ship.

Ok @differentstarlightsublime​ seeing as you made this asinine post pop up in my notifications again I’m going to make you a list of reasons why I have no reservations calling the Bellarke fandom lesbophobic and a toxic environment for wlw:

Preface: I don’t care what you say you’ve seen or haven’t seen, I’ve seen more than enough on Tumblr and Twitter in the past almost two years to form my opinion.

Section A: Metas 

1. Popular metas circulated and widely accepted in the Bellarke fandom describing Lexa with language literally used to be homophobic towards lesbians:

Toxic, creepy, predatory

Only caring about “getting in Clarke’s pants” and obsessed with Clarke to the point of deliberately keeping her away from Bellamy 

Only caring about maintaining her political power and not caring about anything or anybody else, not even her own people or Clarke (somehow, despite point 2)

Manipulating Clarke into falling in love with her 

Using Stockholm Syndrome to make Clarke fall in love with her. It should also be pointed out that the Stockholm Syndrome metas would imply Stockholm Syndrome is a byproduct of rape, and that Clexa therefore had non-con under/overtones.  

A cyborg that was never truly human 

2. Popular metas circulated and widely accepted in the Bellarke fandom with biphobic language describing Clarke as: 

“Confused” when she kissed Lexa or fell in love with her 

Having to be separated from her friends and mother to fall in love with Lexa

Going through a “phase” when she kissed or fell in love with Lexa 

Using Lexa purely for political purposes 

Section B: Reaction to Lexa dying/Bury Your Gays/Queer Baiting

1. Arguing that Bury Your Gays:

Is not a big deal because straight characters die too

Is not what happened with Lexa 

Is only Bury Your Gays if the character is explicitly killed off for being a lesbian

Is not an issue anymore because there are like 5 other shows with popular wlw pairings 

2. Arguing that Clexa wasn’t queer baiting because:

Clexa got together and was canon

Everybody should have seen it coming and not been surprised

Ignoring that Shawna Benson went on a wlw online forum to literally lie to fans and tell them to go seek therapy (classy) over the trust issues 

3. Defending/downplaying/straight up mocking Lexa’s death because: 

It had to happen for plot purposes! There’s no way she could have lived!

Alycia is on FTWD (their schedules haven’t overlapped since)

She was just a guest star (as if guest stars are limited to two seasons)

“I want to make dead lesbian jokes and if you get offended it’s because you don’t have a sense of humor sweaty” 

Lexa was a bitch in their eyes so no sympathy for the people that liked her

She deserved to die as well as die a more painful and gruesome death

Being killed off by her father figure, who was trying to murder her girlfriend bc he didn’t approve of the relationship, somehow does not echo real world violence faced at the hands of homophobic parents

Complaining that Lexa and her death to this day are still getting attention from the media

Resentment that Lexa has become such an iconic character and is so important to wlw viewers 

4. Defending Jason Rothenberg because:

We should be thankful he gave us Lexa and Clexa to begin with (he also gave you Bellamy and Octavia and is responsible for her beating him up)

It’s his show so he can do whatever the hell he wants with the story (yeah and I can still call him a racist queer baiting shitty writer) 

People make mistakes and he apologized u.u

Lbr the only reason anybody defends him or kisses his ass is because they want Bellarke to happen  

Section C: Dismissal of lesbian characters/wlw relationships in general

1. Clexa: 

Was not groundbreaking or important representation 

Was fan service 

Had too much screen time 

Didn’t have enough screen time thus no proper development (often times said in tandem with point 3) 

Happened only because Clarke was rejected by Bellamy (according to metas and said nowhere in the show itself)

Was annoying/downright infuriating bc it was getting in the way of Bellarke 

Clarke should have gotten over Lexa 5 seconds after her death but for sure is going to still be in love with Bellamy (according to metas) after 6 years of no contact 

Somehow more violent than other ships when Bellarke have done things like handcuffed/drugged/shot at each other, Murphy literally shot Raven in the spine, Octavia hit Lincoln, Kane whip lashed Abby, etc.

Saying that Lexa forced herself on Clarke when they first kissed (have you watched that scene??? no seriously have you??????)

Comparing the Clexa love scene to Ontari raping Murphy 

2. Niylah/Niylarke:

Ignoring Niylah as a love interest for Clarke and dismissing Niylarke as purely “friends with benefits” when we all know people would be screaming canon if Clarke were seen cuddling in a bed with Bellamy like she has with Niylah 

Being mad that season 4 had Niylarke

Literally ignoring Niylah’s existence

Being the reason for Niylah existing to begin with because some people didn’t/refused to believe Clarke was bi after S2 

3. Lexa’s own freaking sexuality:

Writing fanfiction of Lexa having sex with a man (that I’ve seen alone, there’s fanfics of her sleeping with Bellamy, Roan and even Miller, another gay!)

Calling said fanfiction of Lexa having sex with men a “kink”

Shipping Lexa with Bellamy

Writing/drawing Lexa as part of a polyamorous relationship with Bellarke, which wouldn’t be a problem in itself if she wasn’t also often depicted as being involved in sexual activities with both Clarke and Bellamy

Getting upset when confronted, usually followed by asking why wlw shippers can take straight characters and hc them as lesbian/bi but they can’t take lesbian characters and hc them as bisexual or straight  

Section D: Biphobia/lesbophobia towards femslash shippers

1. Speaking over wlw:

Being cis straight and speaking over wlw shippers on wlw characters

Thinking that they have a license to speak over wlw/be lesbophobic bc they ship male characters together

Telling wlw that they need to care about mlm ships just as much as they do about wlw rep and/or that they don’t actually care about lgbt rep if they don’t talk about (insert mlm ship)  

Telling wlw to shut up about BYG/queer baiting bc gays are dying in Russia 

“X and Y people in the Bellarke fandom are wlw and they agree with me therefore I must be right!” 

Reacting to people bringing up the BYG and queer baiting in The 100 with “god move on already”

Telling wlw that complain about the queer baiting and BYG to “seek help” in order to get over their issues with the show, which is a pretty fucking homophobic way of wording things considering that for lgbt youth those words are usually accompanied by being sent to conversion therapy. 

2. Biphobia/Bisexual rep:

Getting angry at people that say there are bisexuals with a preference for women. Imagine that! Bisexuality in itself can be fluid and not always 50/50 attraction or dating! 

Berating bisexuals for preferring to see a femslash ship over an m/f one 

Invalidating the sexualities of bisexuals that don’t ship Blarke

Making up statistics about the prevalence of f/f ships literally to shut down  bisexuals that want to see more f/f ships

Implying that Clarke now HAS to get with a guy, aka Bellamy, for it to be bisexual rep

——————————————————————

There you go, a whole list of reasons the Bellarke fandom is lesbophobic that is not “they don’t ship Clexa” or the outright “I hate lesbians/god hates gays” that has also been seen 

BTW, all of these are things I’ve seen multiple times over the years and many in posts with hundreds or thousands of notes, I won’t shed a single tear if you come crying to me about only a few people doing this
