need to vent. one of the most frustrating things is watching Clarke mourn L/exa and get a reaction to her death even in s6 - a love interest that died 131+ years ago. But her breaking down over her best friend/soulmate being dead? nah. too much to ask for, fam. who writes this shit???
I will never understand this fandom's fucked up way of accepting how there is an abundance of time and screentime for some things but the moment you utter the name "Bellamy" suddenly the majority of this fandom goes "but there isn't enough time!!" Shut up.
Season 3. Clarke had an initial reaction to Lxa's death, she was there when it happened. Then in the following episodes, we had SEVERAL moments of Clarke grieving. Staying in that room, Murphy comforting her, refusing to let the flame go, looking at the flame at every turn, refusing to let Jasper destroy it, SEVERAL scenes of Bellamy noticing Clarke's grief, talks about Lxa with Luna etc.
Season 4. Refusing to part with the flame and struggles with it for an ENTIRE episode, shares her love for Lxa in a room full of people, cries for Lxa, keeps drawings of Lxa on in her room and looks at it, talks about Lxa with Niylah, keeps Lxa alive throughout season 4 in name and action.
Season 5. Clarke breaks down over the loss of her friends, keeps Lxa with her by digging out the commander chair, has an entire season long storyline about wanting to protect Madi from the flame because of the pain of losing Lxa, talks to her child about Lxa, asks about Lxa, breaks down when her child mentions Lxa to her, refuses to destroy the flame because Lxa is in it.
Season 6. Some 130 years later on a different planet too, Lxa is one if the 3 people that are mentioned to her in 6x02, how Clarke still feels pain over Lxa's death, SEVERAL drawings of Lxa in her mindspace, the FIRST drawing she goes to and touches, sees her memories of Lxa, is called out by Josephine for crying over Lxa, sits on Lxa's chair and cries, sits in her own head drawing with candles and drawings of Lxa next to her, is called out by Sheidheda for loving Lxa and being weak.
Bellamy loses Clarke, destroys a room, is overcome with utter grief, spends an entire episode remembering Clarke, cries over her death and ends the episode alone in utter and complete grief over the loss of Clarke. Not to mention leaves his girlfriend for the chance over saving Clarke and with the force of his love for her, brings Clarke back.
Season 7. Has lost Abby, mourns her and expresses utter grief, spends 3 episodes talking about her grief, has a "memorial" and a "funeral".
Let me start of by saying, none of this is bad written or wrong. It's a good thing when characters get time to mourn and be affected by loss. Clarke being sad over losing people is a good thing. And I realize Bellamy hasn't been gone as long for Clarke to have ALL those scenes but funny how there never seems to be enough time for Clarke to feel the same for Bellamy.
Let me get this straight. We can make the time for other characters, we can make the time for Clarke to mourn other relationships, we can even make the time for E to go on a SEASON LONG killing spree because of her overwhelming grief of losing Bellamy.. but we can only give Clarke a 20 second reaction until we simply do not have the time to stay there and must give the focus to Raven's grief. Fine, maybe there is not enough time in the same episode, lets look at the following episodes. Ah, Clarke gets a 20 second reunion with Octavia, and all these two women have to say is "I'm sorry" and then not a single word is uttered again. We have no more time with Clarke because we simply must get going. Clarke never once asked how it happened, when it happened, who was there, she doesn't even sit in her grief for a single moment. Yet, here we are again, another episode watching E in overwhelming grief over Bellamy as we have for 10 EPISODES, while Clarke is literally standing in the far right corner of the screen, NO focus on her. We don't even have focus or time on Bellamy's SISTER.
So you guys want me to believe there simply "isn't enough time" for Clarke to get a single moment of grief for her supposed "soulmate" but somehow, the writers' room did find time to WRITE TIME for E and all those other moments I listed above? Do you even hear yourself? Time on this show is made up. The writers make up the time and what to do with it and how to use it. Spare me the bullshit of trying to explain to me how Clarke is simply a head person and feels emotions inside but don't show it. That's great and all, now show me she gives a damn about Bellamy the way he does her.
I believe Bellamy deserves to GET time from Clarke. Clarke needs to carve out the time. The writers have carved out time for other important relationships in her life, they MADE time all of season 6 for Bellamy to feel the pain of losing Clarke. TIME IS MADE. TIME IS MADE. TIME IS MADE. How have you watched season 7 of all seasons and not realized TIME IS MADE!!
The fact is, time is not made for Clarke when it comes to Bellamy. Not nearly as much as he deserves and what the relationship deserves. I don't need to see a single tear on Clarke's face for 0.2 seconds before she keeps going and doesn't even remember Bellamy's name anymore. It's insulting to Bellamy Blake. We know Clarke cares about Bellamy but she needs to fucking step up and be given screentime that equals Bellamy's love for her. This shit is not enough.

The 100 6x11: Ashes to Ashes Personal Narrative
DIRECTED BY BOB MORLEY!!! This is not a drill people! Bob directed this episode! This is the episode we have all been waiting for! Not only is he directing this, but multiple actors have said this is their favorite episode of the season! Also, this is the episode that is rumored to have talking about emotions, sex, etc. At the recent con, Bob also said that Bellamy and Clarke WILL talk about emotions and shit in his episode! ALSO----Echo backstory! I”M SO JAZZED!
I love you Eliza...but couldn’t Bob have introduced this episode? Just for shits and giggles? I don’t blame you, sweetie, I blame the CW.
Ohhhh. Jackson doing medical shit.
Doctor Jackson? Really?
Madi is totally faking it.
Told ya!
At least Madi has some sense still. Not going for the throat.
Yes, Jackson is one of us!
Shut up you evil Heda! I hate you for hurting poor Madi!
I knew everyone was going to eventually regret making Madi Heda via the chip!
On another note....her acting is SO awesome!
Yes, use Clarke against her.
DIRECTED BY BOB MORLEY!!!!!
Aww Clarke is sleeping. Nightmares
Awww Bellamy comforting Clarke!
Bellarke heart eyes!
Awww they are having the talks!
Poor guilty Bellamy!
Ick. She mentioned Echo first. Something tells me that’s not good for us Bellarkers!
I still love you Echo!
Bellamy is so right! Very dangerous!
Octavia! Ready to go!
Praying for a twelve year old psychopath....haha classic Murphy.
Houdini Miller. More Classic Murphy.
Nope....they gonna kill you when it’s done.
What are they going to do to Murphy?
Echo.....oh no!
Yay! Jordan is still alive!
Echo is still keeping secrets for Riker? Hmmm....so she can kill him later for betraying her?
Making Echo into Simone? Gross. Me no likey.
Wow. Murphy making plans with Echo.
Yes...Russell can sorta see through Murphy.
Not anymore Russell.
Hmmm....Murphy going out to bring them back?
Ohhh....threatening is love? Not a good idea! Threaten him he can deal with, threaten Emori? Shits going down!
Commercial Break #1 Thoughts: Anybody worried that that is the only Bellarke heart-to-heart we are getting? Bob and the rest of the cast were very vague. But they said talking was going to happen, but sometimes they think one small scene is enough. It is NOT ENOUGH! And still super worried Clarke felt the need to mention Echo so quickly. That does not bode well for us. Love Echo. Can’t wait for her backstory this episode. Still want her to stay alive. Don’t want her and Bellamy together, though. No chemistry. They have chemistry potential since they met back in season 2, but it just never blossomed in my opinion. Anyways. I’m very anti-hate, but I will go down with my ship!
Yay! We are already back!
Octavia defending Gabriel!
That’s what they do to demons. Harsh.
Bellamy is having none of Octavia trying to make amends.
Queen of Cannibals. Harsher.
Hey...he called her O though! that’s something!
That’s one word for it.....
More talk about the anomaly. We are so not getting any big answers this season though.
Ope! His friends are here!
Oh...Gabriel. Go defend them idiot!
Ohhh....the truth is coming out!
Are his people actually going to kill him?
Commercial Break #2 Thoughts: So Gabriel was put in Xavier when X was still really young, right? So most of what his sister thought was X was probably him, right? So maybe that bond will carry over when he explains? Honestly, I forget what age they said X was when Gabriel was forced into his mind. Poor guy probably wouldn’t mind dying, though. Just killed the love of his life. His life has been SUPER long! And while he is still curious about the anomaly, he probably wouldn’t say no to death. I know we are only twenty minutes in, but I’m hoping more shit starts to happen. Nothing is really making me go YAY! or OHHH! Did I go into this with too high of expectations? Probs. But I blame the cast and crew who have been raving about this episode. But I’m sure a lot more is going to happen soon....I’m just anxious for it. And still loving that this is Bob’s episode, though! I know he worked super hard for this!
Okay. So Xavier was probably around twenty-ish when he was taken over? Okay.
Layla isn’t wrong...not really. He shouldn’t have lied to his people.
Ope. Bellamy talking about a plan that is not really a plan, but is now his new plan. Interesting.
Of course it’s a good plan. Bellamy said it. Lol
Do not just kill Clarke after we got her back! I will riot!
Gabriel saved her for now. But for how long?
What the hell did they just put in her?
Is this where we are going to get her flashbacks?
Also...who else would kill for Echo’s hair?
Yes, Riker is torn.
Well, Riker you are digging your own grave. She really going to kill you now.
Oh....what a question for a person who used to do just that as a spy!
Gaia is not pleased.
Miller trying to have a heart to heart with Gaia?
Oh yeah....they were underground together.
Poor Miller still has guilt! Nice for it to be brought up finally!
Oh God! Miller don’t die!
He has a plan! Oh my gosh! Criminal Miller coming out! I LOVE THIS! We never get enough Miller!
Commercial Break # 3 Thoughts: So, I’m loving Miller and Gaia teaming up! And more Miller screen time is what I live for! I just hope them sneaking out doesn’t get either of them killed! I’m so worried about what Bob, Eliza, and Richard were saying at the recent con. To expect more deaths and all that. Which we’ve learned over the years, but them saying stuff like that makes me worried about our main characters. Anyone still worried about Clarke being a prisoner again? I am! I know she is a main MAIN character, but I always get anxiety with the shit they’ve put her though this season. On the other hand it would be poor planning if they did kill her off after spending most of the season getting her back. Poor writing, too.
Ohh...radio call echoes. Layla looking like she is going to kill.
Good question Layla.
Good point G.
Believers killing non-believers. Yup Clarke. That’s right.
Is this Clarke trying to convince him to go with her plan?
The early warning system. Clarke has a plan....
Ope. Bringing up Bellamy to convince her. But she stubborn.
We got this,Gabriel....
Ohhh pretty cave!
Sibling talking and bonding!
yes, lets bring up Diyoza.
So....she is dead? That’s what we are going with?
Oh. Go straight for the heart Octavia!
Aww...Bellamy is breaking down.
Now is not the time....BUT I WAS PROMISED TALKS! SO TALK!
Awe....his heart is breaking.
Say I’m your sister.
You’re my sister. But you’re not my responsibility. Not anymore.
That’s growth! I’m good with that!
Commercial Break #4 Thoughts: The Blake siblings talk was much better than Bellarke’s. I’m a little disappointed, but the fact that their talk held so much character growth for both of them is what dreams are made of! On another point, who is worried about Clarke pushing them into danger? I love her confidence and not wanting to kill people like Mount Weather in order to keep her promise to Monty, but.....Bellamy is not going to be happy. And it might risk her people. But maybe it will be less detrimental to her soul? Idk....I think I’m over-analyzing this. Commercials really kill me. I think too hard.
So...Echo is nightblood now? Interesting....
Oh...Echo backstory is coming out!
Echo is going to kill his ass. Maybe after we get backstory. But still is going to kill his ass.
Baby Echo! What a cutie!
Ope. Evil Queen!
Killing at that young of age? Wow. That’s so Ice Nation.
Hesitation is death.
Oh No.....What is she going to do to punish Echo’s weakness?
Kill her friend? I knew it!
Damn. Ice Nation really did create killers. Poor baby Echo and her unnamed friend!
Wait.....Echo stabbed by friend? I’m confused.....
Does that mean the unnamed friend is actually Echo? Maybe she took her name to honor her?
Ope. There it is. We’ve all been duped! What was her name before? I’m so curious.
Oh....it’s Ash......I didn’t hear that part. I was too distracted. Ashes to Ashes. Love it! Do you think Bellamy knows that story?
Oh.....Gaia and Miller to the rescue!
And now they know she is nightblood now. Wonder how that might effect the story line.
And now Riker is dead. We knew that was going to happen. Don’t back stab an ex-spy. They will not be forgiving.
Commercial Break #5 Thoughts: So that flashback was awesome. And they didn’t even technically lie to us when they said in the cast page that that one young actress was Echo. Because she was. We have just always assumed we knew things we didn’t actually know. And I’m loving that he name is Ash and that is part of the meaning behind the episode title!
That was short commercial. YAY!
And Bellamy is now in on the new plan.
No innocent people die.
Clarke is sacrificing herself. Very Clarke move.
What would Monty do?
IF we can spare innocent lives. We should.
Ope. Who’s outside?
Here come the Sanctum guards. Is Murphy with them? Probs.
And there he is! Savior Murphy.....or....not? What will he choose?
And Clarke’s plan is now a go!
Clarke is so good at playing Josephine.
And Echo is brought up again to Bellamy.
And Murphy is not going to be trusted by Clarke. Probs for the best.
For Monty! Love the new motto!
No shit, Layla!
Russel is convinced so easily. He’s about as good of a father as Abby is a mother. They both suck identifying their real kids.
Resurrect her in who indeed?
Clarke don’t give yourself away with Madi!
Poor Madi is being manipulated.
And Clarke is breaking at seeing her poor baby struggle.
She doesn’t even know yet what Madi is going through!
And that was the end? Really?
Was anyone else a little...disappointed overall?
At least no one died?

The 100 rewatch: 1x03 Earth Kills
I’m a new fan of The 100, who first binged it last year, August to November. This is my first full rewatch of the show. I was planning to start it anyway and finish it before the season 6 premiere on April 30, and when I saw that Fox Serbia was airing a rerun (Monday to Friday, 40 min. after midnight, with repeats the next day), starting on 1st February, it was a great opportunity to start my rewatch in HDTV on my beautiful new TV. I decided to do write-ups and tag other fans on SpoilerTV website, as I did when I was first watching the show. But my posts turned into full blown essays. So, finally, after over a week, I’ve realized: Why don’t I post them on my Tumblr blog, too? I’ll copy my write-ups of the first 7 episodes, and then I’ll post my rewatch posts after I watch each episode. (The next one, 1x08, is on Monday’Tuesday.)
Spoilers below for all 5 seasons of the show. I go of on a tangents and make a lot of references to future events.
...
Wow, the show actually got good pretty quickly. After how bad much of first two episodes was, full of cheesy teen soapy stuff, I was surprised how solid 1x03 was throughout - I wouldn't be embarrassed to show it to someone to show what The 100 is like. I remember that I found 1x03 and 1x04 a real improvement the first time as well, but I was still unsure about the show till 1x05. I think it's because there's again some teen soapy BS at the end of 1x04, which put me off big time the first time I watched it, since I expected the worst, especially with the Clarke/Finn/Raven love triangle, but now I know that this storyline was resolved in a surprisingly good and not at all cliche way. Still, I was mildly annoyed by the ending of that episode.
Rating: 8/10
The acid fog! I had forgotten that it turned up in the show and played such a significant role so early. The Mountain Men were already killing the Delinquents 10 episodes before they even showed up and interacted with them directly. It killed 3 people - Trina and Pascal (random couple that we first saw just before they died), and Atom. (Atom also has the distinction of bein Octavia's first love interest on the show. Love interests tend to die a lot in this show in general, but in particular, so far everyone who's made out or had sex with Octavia so far has ended up dead.) And then at the very end, in the twist ending, Wells, the first dead main character, killed by another Delinquent, 12 year old Charlotte. I know that they wanted to kill off a main character to show how edgy the show was, but I remember didn't find Wells' death that much of a surprise at the time - that it happened so quickly, yes, that was a surprise, and that a little girl killed him, but I had already been expecting him to die and wondering how long he'd survive, with so many of the Delinquents hating him because of his father. Charlotte has something in common with Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia and Murphy - parents executed by Jaha. Awww, the early season 1 Clarke - so innocent and full of moral certainty, "saying things like "This isn't the Ark, down here every life matters", and pretty open about her feelings, before she started to bottle them up. I loved it when she said to Finn: "Why is it a bad thing that I don't want Jasper to die?" Yes, exactly! It annoyed me so much that he and others were acting like her trying to save a person instead of go around having fun and not giving a damn was so weird. Clarke's speech to Charlotte early in the episode, talking about the traumatic past on the Ark: "All the pain up there... maybe all that is behind us. Maybe now we have a second chance on the ground." Well, that didn't work out But maybe now they will have the third chance on the other planet. Our first flashbacks to the Ark - memories of happy life with the Griffins and the Jahas, before Jake Griffin decided to tell the Ark the truth, and got executed by his friend Thelonius (this is also the first time we see a person getting floated - which reminds me of Battlestar Galactica, which had many scenes like that), and Clarke got locked up for a year. 16-year old Clarke and Wells, and their dads, happily watching some 140 year old tape of a soccer match. Of course, this kind of happy life - while just normal by our standards - was the privilege of the elite on the Ark. In 1x06 we get to see very different flashbacks of the Blake family. Even the living quarters of the Blakes are very different and shabby. But at least they had books - books are always the cheaper entertainment. Finn is probably at his nicest and most likable in this episode. It doesn't last long, but at least in this episode he figures out that Wells is letting Clarke believe he betrayed her father to cover up for her mother. Finn figures it out and makes an effort to fix Clarke's friendship with Wells. Although, if I were to be cynical, I'd say that it's not an accident that he did it only after he had asked Wells if he and Clarke had ever been an item, learned that they had not, and concluded he didn't have to fear Wells as competition. And now that Clarke has realized the truth, we get the beginning of the multi-episode mini arc about Clarke's resentment of her mother for getting her father killed. But to be fair, Abby clearly never expected Jaha to actually execute Jake. Though the first time I watched the show, I didn't understand how she could still be friends with Jaha after that. I guess she could justify his actions by the idea that life on the Ark was tough and they had to make sacrifices etc. The show sort of comes back to this plot in season 4, when (in 4x11, after Clarke and Jaha has stolen the bunker), Jaha expects Abby to be OK with Kane being sacrificed, and Abby is like, nope, not this time. Murphy is getting very obnoxious in this episode, which is kind of a prelude to the next one. Before he was just antagonizing Wells, which was unfair to Wells but to an extent understandable since we know that Wells' dad spaced Murphy's father, but now he spends most of the episode complaining about hearing Jasper's cries of pain and saying he should die already. Meanwhile Bellamy gets to show his sensitive side, naturally, because there's a little girl nearby that he wants to be a big brother/pseudo-father to. It's kind of funny when people try to argue that it was OOC for Bellamy to put a chip in Madi's head so she can be a Commander because she's just 12 and he's protective of kids. He is, but his idea of protecting them is a bit different and consists of, say, giving 12 year old Charlotte a knife and teaching her to defend herself: "You cannot afford to be weak. Down here, weakness is death". Since he was told at the age of 6 that he needed to be his baby sister's protector, his idea of childhood may be a bit different than most viewers'. Monty about Bellamy, earlier in the episode, angry about his comments on Jasper: "Power-hungry, self-serving jackass. He doesn't care about anyone but himself". This is just one of the times in these episodes that people make such comments about him (Finn says Bellamy cares just about himself, after they learn about him throwing away the radio in 1x05), pretty obvious irony as we learn more and more about how his entire life and his motivation is all about protecting his sister. Clarke is also playing an almost motherly role to Charlotte. Both Clarke and Bellamy have this tendency to play a parent to others, including, sort of, to the Delinquents .But this time it spectacularly backfires - Charlotte misinterprets Bellamy's advice to "slay your demons" and uses the knife to kill Wells, and she does it imitating the way she saw Clarke mercy kill Atom, and singing the same lullaby Clarke sang. That moment when Clarke mercy kills Atom is a pretty important one for the development of Bellamy's and Clarke's relationship - earlier on he was doing that thing that characters in post-apocalyptic shows often do, when they say things like "You don't have the guts to make tough decisions", which is usually about killing someone (Kane had similar lines in the Pilot) - or in this case, mercy-killing. He claimed he was going to kill Jasper if he doesn't get better by the morning, but later was obviously finding it hard when faced with the necessity of mercy killing Atom. One more early sign that Bellamy didn't really find it easy to kill people. Clarke doing that instead of him and gently killing Atom after singing him a lullaby is a really good scene, and you can see from Bellamy's face that it's the moment when he really gains new respect for Clarke. Clarke has probably seen her mother do that to patients quite a few times, Sadly, this is not the last time these two will get to have important bonding moments over having to kill people. That's how messed up their lives and the situations they are put in are. To be fair, the show does show a scene of Octavia mourning Atom. Then they have the next episode take place a week later, which is a nice excuse to never have him mentioned again. Also a nice excuse to show just one scene of Clarke mourning Wells in 1x04 and then never have her mention her childhood BFF again.

A The 100 Character For Every Twenty One Pilots Song
Hello there!
Are you a fan of The 100? How about twenty one pilots? I have good news: you don’t need to be either to listen to twenty one pilots songs. But it helps! However, to get the most out of this article, I would advise that you be a fan of the CW show The 100 because this list contains spoilers up to Season 4 Episode 8! (And was written before Episode 9 so if anything crazy happens that contradicts everything I’ve said, NOT MY FAULT)
Now: to begin at the beginning. Let me start by introducing myself in case you are a person who is unfamiliar with my ridiculous life.
My name is Robyn Jeffrey and I’m a co-host with The Afictionados Podcast Network. (website, twitter, soundcloud) We do podcasts about your favorite tv shows including AND TOTALLY LIMITED TO AT THIS POINT, The 100, Riverdale, and LOST (my personal favorite). You can find us by searching “Afictionados” in Soundcloud or iTunes!
Something that I really love about TOP is that you can listen to their songs and there is nary a swear. I’m one of those people who get kind of taken out of things where there’s too much profanity. I also love that when they sing love songs, they hardly ever use gendered pronouns. Not all of them, but most of their love songs could be sung to any gender. And that makes writing this a little easier.
Ever since I became a fan of twenty one pilots, my sister and I have played this game where we choose a The 100 character that is best represented by each song. When I was at Unity Days in January, I shared this fact with a few friends and they wanted more!
I have tried my best to do this with every single TOP song. However, I tried very hard to not overlap or give multiple songs to one character, even though many of these songs could refer to Jasper or Murphy and so on. That’s why I’ll have a section at the bottom of the song with alternate characters that might also work. If you have a suggestion for a character that I don’t have already, let me know and I’ll add it with full credit!
Although Vessel was released first, I will begin with Blurryface, for my sister and I began with Blurryface. I’m aware that they also released a self-titled album in 2009 but I only just realized that you can buy that on iTunes and I’m not familiar with it at all so we’re only doing the last two albums OKAY? Here we go!
Blurryface
Heavydirtysoul – Octavia Blake
“Gangsters don’t cry.”
Originally, this song was Jasper’s song but with the addition of my rule of only one per customer, I felt that a different song described him better (or possibly, he was the only one to fit that song). And thus I came to the conclusion that this was an Octavia Blake song if I ever heard one; especially if you take the last season into consideration.
“There’s an infestation in my mind’s imagination.
I hope that they choke on smoke ‘cause I’m smoking them out the basement.
This is not rap. This is not hip-hip.
It’s just another attempt to make the voices stop.”
“Can you save my heavy, dirty, soul?”
Alternate: Jasper Jordan, Clarke Griffin, John Murphy, etc.
Stressed Out – All
“We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away.”
I felt that this song could refer to so many characters that I decided to make it a song for everyone. I think you could find a piece of whoever you wanted in this song.
“Wish we could turn back time to the good old days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out.”
Ride – Jasper Jordan
“I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride.”
Jasper is found in so many of these songs that it was hard to pick one for him. I found that this was a song that fit him best especially taking Season 4 into account. He knows that he won’t make it and so he’s just having fun with the time that he still has.
“Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But it’s fun to fantasize.”
“I’ve been thinking too much. Help me.”
Fairly Local – Roan
“I’m fairly local. I’ve been around. I’ve seen the streets you’re walking down.”
This song was originally Lincoln but since I found a better fit for him, I switched it to Roan and I think I like it even better! This song is reminiscent of when new people show up, like Skaikru, and try and take over.
“Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral.
The world around us is burning but we’re so cold.
It’s the few, the proud, and the emotional.”
“I’m not evil to the core.
What I shouldn’t do I will fight.
I know I’m emotional.
What I wanna save I will try.”
Alternate: Lincoln, Indra, any grounder pick one
Tear in my Heart – Finn Collins
“She’s the tear in my heart, I’m on fire.”
If this isn’t the most Finn Collins song you’ve ever heard, you’re wrong. This is one of the first songs that we assigned to a character. This is so Finn it’s incredible. Think season 2 Finn looking for Clarke. Like that Finn. It’s ridiculous. My favorite part of the song is that it literally says “I’m on fire” and isn’t that just brutal? It literally talks about her stabbing him HAHA
“Sometimes you’ve gotta bleed to know,
That you’re alive and have a soul.
But it takes someone to come around to show you how.”
“She’s a butcher with a smile, cut me farther than I’ve ever been.”
Lane Boy – Nathan Miller
“They say ‘stay in your lane, boy’… but we go where we want to.”
This was kind of a hard one to choose. But I’m happy with the conclusion that I came to and I think it actually fits really well. This is one of my favorite songs on Blurryface. Also I <3 Miller. That is all.
“Who would live and die for on that list?
But the problem is,
There’s another list that exists and no one really wants to think about this.”
“If you get in between someone I love and me,
You’re gonna feel the heat of my cavalry.
All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless.
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless.”
The Judge – Thelonius Jaha
“You’re the judge, oh no, set me free.”
The way I’m choosing to look at this one is that Jaha is calling ALIE the judge. He wants ALIE to take him into the City of Light and away from all of the pain of his life. It also shows Jaha’s soft side when he’s always making sacrifices for others. I think.
“When the leader of the bad guys sang,
Something soft and soaked in pain,
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway.”
“I know my soul’s freezing.
Hell’s hot for good reason so please take me.”
Doubt – Wells Jaha
“Don’t forget about me.”
Okay check it out. Not only is this super literal because Jaha actually forgot Wells in Season 3, but it’s also totally relevant to the 4 episodes he was in regarding Clarke and such.
“Even when I doubt you,
I’m no good without you.”
“Fear might be the death of me,
Fear leads to anxiety.
Don’t know what’s inside of me.”
Alternate: Monty Green
Polarize – Bellamy Blake
“My friends and I, we’ve got a lot of problems.”
This was the one of the first songs that we assigned a character to and yeah maybe it started only with “better brother, better son” but if you look at the whole song it actually works quite well.
“It’s deciding where to die and deciding where to fight.
Deny, deny, denial.”
“I wanted to be a better brother, better son.
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done.
I have none to show to the one I love.”
We Don’t Believe What’s On TV – Lexa
“We have all learned to kill our dreams.”
This was a really hard one to choose. I felt that many of the people that I could possibly give it to, already had a song. And although it could fit Lexa and Clarke’s relationship better, I’m pleased with my choice.
“I used to say, ‘I wanna die before I’m old’,
But because of you I might think twice.”
“I need to know that when I fail, you’ll still be here.”
Alternate: Finn Collins, John Murphy, Marcus Kane, who’s in love?
Message Man – Clarke Griffin
“You don’t know what I’ve done. I’m wanted and on the run.”
This song was a Murphy song for such a long time until I realized, after the premiere of Season 3, that this works even better for Clarke than it does for Murphy. Clarke’s a major badass.
“A loser hides behind a mask of my disguise.
And who I am today is worse than other times.”
“You don’t know my brain the way you know my name.
And you don’t know my heart the way you know my face.”
Alternate: John Murphy
Hometown – Maya Vie
“Take me home and show me the sun.”
Listen up. I had the hardest time figuring this one out but then my mother suggested Maya / Mount Weather in general and it’s absolutely perfect. I couldn’t think of anything else ever again. Now this song will haunt your dreams as a Mount Weather song.
“Where we’re from, there’s no sun.
Our hometown’s in the dark.”
“We don’t know, we don’t know,
How to put back the power in our soul.
We don’t know, we don’t know,
Where to find what once was in our bones.”
Alternate: Bryan, Charles Pike, peeps from farm station, Ilian
Not Today – Charles Pike
“Heard your voice. There’s no choice.”
This was another difficult one. I want to dedicate this choice to my girls Sarah and Claire (aka the #1 Pike apologists).
“You are out of my mind, you aren’t seeing my side.
You spend all this time trying to get to me.”
“Don’t you test me though, just because I play the piano,
Doesn’t mean I am not willing to take you down. I’m sorry.”
Goner – Lincoln
“I’m a goner. Somebody catch my breath.”
This one hurts. But it’s just so perfect. And don’t just look at the lyrics to this one. It’s the real musical genius of the finale of Blurryface that encapsulates Lincoln so perfectly. The soft, quiet beginning, into the loud, angry ending. It all works.
“Though I’m weak and beaten down,
I’ll slip away into the sound.
The ghost of you is close to me.
I’m inside out. You’re underneath.”
Vessel
Ode to Sleep – Ilian
“I’m not free, I asked forgiveness three times.”
Some songs and this album were much harder to figure out than others. I knew that I wanted an Ilian song and this one fit the best out of what was left. It works with the fact that he blew up Arkadia and that he feels terrible about what he did in the City of Light.
“Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?”
“I swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling.
They told me I was gone.”
Holding Onto You – Marcus Kane
“You should take my life, you should take my soul.”
This song was the Lincoln and Octavia song for a really long time. The second verse is one of my favorite verses of all of TOP’s discography. I think it’s just beautiful. But it works very well with Kane and Abby as well.
“Fight it.
Take the pain, ignite it.
Tie a noose around your mind,
Loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,
To a tree, tell it ‘you belong to me.
This ain’t a noose, this is a leash.
And I have news for you.
You must obey me.’”
Alternate: Lincoln
Migraine – Raven Reyes
“Am I the only one I know, waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?”
How perfect is it that Raven had migraines this season and they have a song called Migraine? It’s perfect. I’m really pleased with this pairing. I think that Migraine is one of their best songs. It’s sometimes hard to catch all of the beautiful lyrics so I recommend looking them up because they work so well.
“…It is a door that holds back contents,
That make Pandora’s box contents look non-violent.
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence.
My mind’s ship-wrecked.
This is the only land my mind could find.”
“And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made.
The game is not played alone.”
House of Gold – Monty Green
“We’ll make pretend that you and me lived ever after happily.”
Sure. Maybe this song was given to Monty because he’s the only one that really got to talk with his Mom other than Clarke. But if you think about it, you could maybe think of it as CoL Hannah talking to Monty and trying to persuade him into joining her. And his father is even mentioned in the song. It works!
“She asked me, ‘Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?’”
“And since we know that dreams are dead,
And life turns plans up on their head.
I will plan to be a bum.
So I just might become someone.”
Car Radio – Luna
“Peace will win and fear will lose.”
This song is incredible. It has some of the cleverest lyrics I have ever heard. I really think it could fit with just about any character that is truly haunted by something that they’ve done. It really fits with Luna because of what happened on her little island and how she promotes peace over violence.
“Sometimes quiet is violent.
My pride is no longer inside.
It’s on my sleeve. My skin will scream.
Reminding me of who I killed.”
“I find over the course of our human existence,
One thing consists of consistence
And it’s that we’re all battling fear.
Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here.”
Alternate: Raven Reyes, Monty Green, Clarke Griffin, Bellamy Blake
Semi-Automatic – John Murphy
“I’m semi-automatic. My prayer’s schizophrenic. But I’ll live on.”
This song has been the Murphy song for years. The real Murphy song. It speaks for itself.
“I’m never what I like,
I’m double-sided, and I just can’t hide,
I kinda like it when I make you cry,
‘Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up inside.”
“The horrors of the night melt away,
Under the warm glow of survival of the day,
Then we move on.”
Screen – Emori
“We’re broken people.”
We found that this song worked really well with Emori. Sometimes she’s talking about herself, then herself and Murphy, and maybe even sometimes herself and Otan. It’s however you like to interpret it that makes it so fun.
“I do not know why I would go
In front of you and hide my soul
‘Cause you’re the only one who knows it.”
“While you’re doing fine, there’s some people and I
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse up while we sing to the sky.”
The Run & Go – Abby Griffin
“Cerebral thunder in one way conversations.”
I remember the day that I realized that this could be an Abby song. I remembered the person that she shot at the end of Season 3 and then listening to the chorus, I found that it fit all of this radio stuff that Abby and Kane are dealing with lately.
“I have killed a man and all I know
Is I am on the Run and Go.”
“Don’t wanna call you in the night time.
Don’t wanna give you all my pieces.
Don’t wanna hand you all my trouble.
Don’t wanna give you all my demons.
You’ll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away.
But tonight, I’ll need you to stay.”
Fake You Out – Harper McIntyre
“Silence gives you space.”
I made this a Harper song as soon as I saw God Complex and the “If you come back” debacle. Put DNR into this context and it works nicely. She’s feeling farther away from Monty than usual.
“I’ll never be, be what you see inside.
You say I’m not alone, but I am petrified.
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far.”
“They feel they have no control over their prisoner’s cell.
And if you’re one of them then you’re one of me.
And you would do almost anything just to feel free.”
Guns for Hands – Eric Jackson
“You all have guns, but you never put the safety on.”
I had this song for Indra originally. But after hearing Sachin’s interview with Meta Station, I definitely felt that Jackson would be the one most hoping that everyone would stop shooting each other. He just wants everyone to be healthy. Is that too much to ask???
“I’m trying, I’m trying to sleep.
But I can’t, but I can’t when you all have
Guns for hands.”
“But there’s hope out the window.
So that’s where we’ll go.
Let’s go outside and all join hands
But until then, you’ll never understand.”
Trees – Indra & Gaia
“I know where you stand, silent in the trees.”
This song doesn’t have a whole lot of words. It’s a slow long with the same lyrics over and over again. And we had a really hard time deciphering who this would go to but in the end we assigned it to 2 characters. The relationship between Indra and Gaia. Indra wanting her to be a warrior and Gaia choosing to stay peaceful.
“I want to know you.
I want to see.
I want to say hello.”
“Why won’t you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees.
Standing cowardly.”
Truce – ALIE
“You will die but now your life is free.”
This is another one of those songs that doesn’t have a whole lot of lyrics. But I took it to mean ALIE’s downfall. She’s about to go to sleep after Clarke pulled the lever and is now just reflecting?
“Now the night is coming to an end,
The sun will rise and we will try again.”
“I will fear the night again,
I hope I’m not my only friend.”
BONUS
Heathens – Echo
“All my friends are heathens, take it slow.”
I was thinking that I’d really love to have Heathens on this list and I looked at the other list of characters that I hadn’t used and thought that Echo would be a good one. Then I listened to the song again with an Echo lens and realised that it was perfect. Think Mount Weather Grounder Gang.
“Welcome to the room of people who have rooms of people
That they love one day, locked away.
Just because we check the guns at the door,
Doesn’t mean our brains will change from hand grenades.”
“You’ll never know the psychopath sitting next to you.
You’ll never know the murderer sitting next to you.
You’ll think ‘how’d I get here, sitting next to you?’”

Episode 1: In Omnia Paratus
This episode starts with DR. PHIL COULSON addressing a room full of teachers who are sitting at a round table, there are many folders present and cork boards for the accepting folders to be placed. COULSON is the head of the table with seven other teachers there.
COULSON: Thank you all for coming here today. I have asked you all here to help me man a new post graduate program here at Cornell. We have been given this task by the United States government to assemble of group of student to help establish a plan for a post-apocalyptic world. This is a research based program, we are to have them make plans for structures, governments, crops, etc. Then we are to place them in a remote location and have them establish their plans, we'll use drones to watch them and to see how and if their plans can exist in a post-apocalyptic world. The government has asked us to create this program due to all of the increase in terrorist activity, and the doomsday clock being closer than ever to midnight, the government wants to begin studying how to continue a society when there is catastrophic loss. We have been tasked with selecting one hundred of the best students Cornell has ever seen, from all departments, from all majors, to come together and help establish a utopic society in what would be a dystopic world. Welcome to the In Omnia Paratus Program. Translated, Ready For Anything.
COULSON: Any Questions?
As COULSON says "Any Questions?" we see a large auditorium full of students showing that these are the picked students. The students are looking at COULSON with confused but eager faces. There is a hand raised. COULSON looks at it and it is evident in his face that this isn't a student he likes very well.
COULSON : Yes, Ms. -
The scene cuts to the round table room with DR. JARED L. BEAUREGARD placing a folder in the center of the table with the name FREYA OLEANDER, and her photo paper clipped to the front. FREYA OLEANDER is a beautiful girl with long dark curly brown hair, striking green eyes, and pale porcelain skin.
BERAUREGARD: MS. FREYA OLEANDER. She is one of the brightest and most dedicated student's Cornell has ever seen, she is twenty four years old and has obtained her Bachelor's degree in The Classics with a double minor in Medieval studies and Viking Studies. She then went on to receive her Master's degree in The Classics with a Minor in Medieval Studies. She is fluent in five languages having been born in Barcelona, Spain to a French father and a Spanish mother she grew up fluent in Catalan, Spanish, and French. Upon moving to California at the age of eleven she learned English and she learned Old Norse here at Cornell as a part of her Viking Studies minor. Her -
COULSON: Absolutely not.
BEAUREGARD: And why not? She has graduated with top honors for both of her degrees and is a current Ph. D. candidate.
COULSON: Because she isn't a good fit. Her low moral standings sets a bad example for the other students, this is a prestigious opportunity and I don't want to give other students the impression that if you sleep with your professor you too can be admitted into the most selective program that Cornell has ever offered. We need to pick deserving students who have earned their accolades.
There is a nod from two other teachers DR. QUEEN NIA and DR. CHARLES PIKE. BEAUREGARD'S face is filled with rage!
BEAUREGARD: Excuse me? Are you implying that Ms. Oleander has not earned EVERY SINGLE one of her accolades? That she has not deserved every award she has received over the course of her studies, which I might add, DR. NIA, you nominated her for one yourself. If that is what your implying, you're ridiculous, she did not become the top of her class and receive all of her awards and praise by simply, as you put it, sleeping with her professor. -
ABIGAIL GRIFFIN: If I may interject here… I have to agree with BEAUREGARD, looking over her file and her credentials she is an obvious choice for the program. I think her personal relationship with BEAUREGARD is irrelevant considering she took only one study abroad course with him during her sophomore year of her undergraduate studies. So it is clear that he is not the reason for any of her accomplishments, I am shocked by your discriminatory feelings Tennyson. Shouldn't we place our personal feeling aside to ensure that we are picking the best students possible for this program?
Many of the faculty are nodding in agreement, Beauregard is glad he is not the only one sticking up for her.
COULSON: (Through gritted teeth) Fine. Let's take a vote. All those in favor of accepting MS. OLEANDER into the program, raise your hand.
We see BEAUREGARD raising his hand along with DR. ABIGAIL GRIFFIN, we also see DR. JACOPA SINCLAIR, DR. MARCUS KANE, and DR. MELINDA MAY raise their hands making the vote 5-3, she is accepted.
Back to the classroom where she is asking her question.
FREYA: What exactly is the point? I understand it is a research program but what is our research going to do considering this is just a hypothetical situation we are preparing for.
COULSON: (annoyed)The point is to find out what works and what doesn't. To write it all down. To plan for this hypothetical situation because one day it will be real. Our research will be used to set up a definitive plan which will be guarded and sealed until the time comes for its use, such as the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
We cut to COULSON in his office with NIA speaking.
COULSON: This isn't hypothetical. We've finally finished the drug that will help to cleanse the world of the lower populations, the perfect population control. Thanks to my company as well as the funding from some of the top world leaders the drug has made it's way onto the market in more than fifty countries. Soon enough the world's population will be threatened no longer by the hopeless, the weak, or the sick.
NIA: What about all the other researchers, the scientist who helped create the drug, won't they become suspicious…most of them thought this was being made to combat future terroristic activity.
COULSON: We tell them nothing. They drug they were working on was meant to be airborne, like a gas, chemical warfare, thanks to some of the higher ups in the research team they took the gas and turned it into a solid form. It's being marketed as a new drug, similar to Marijuana but with affects similar to the harder drugs most junkies are after. The name on the streets is White Gold due to it's white and gold appearance.
NIA: Soon, population control will be a discussion of the past and the world's economic crisis will vanish.
They are sharing looks a smugness on their faces and he is placing his hand on her leg in a sensual way, we can see though on his desk is a photo of his family, his wife, looks nothing like professor NIA.
FREYA is leaving the seminar with her best friend FELICITY CLARKE GRIFFIN and her boyfriend FINN COLLINS. Also their friends JASPER JORDEN and MONTY GREEN. They are chatting about the class and what it is going to entail.
FINN: The way Tennyson was describing the program it made it seem less hypothetical and more real.
FELICITY: Oh Tristan stop being dramatic, your always looking for conspiracy theories.
MONTY: Well, Im, he does always end up being right.
FREYA: Yeah but honestly if there was an impending doom to the world I highly doubt they would rely on literally just us 100 students to figure out the world. Also, we would have gotten more details I hope on how the world was in danger, chemical warfare, nuclear, famine….
JASPER: Buzzkill.
Everyone laughs. FINN'S gaze goes over to a girl, RAVEN REYES who is walking in front of them a ways talking to another student. FREYA notices his gaze as does FELICITY. FELICITY sees who he is looking at and looks down with a guilty look.
FREYA: I heard she's taking the break up well. She's keeping busy, she helped build one of the new buildings on campus.
FINN nods uncomfortably.
FREYA is walking to the dorm where the 100 students will be staying, she enters into the room and notices that it is co-ed room, there is a living room and kitchen and then to the left is the girls bedroom and bathroom, three beds or in the bedroom, the other side is identical but for boys. She begins to place her things in her room when she notices the next girl to come in, it is ANYA TRIKRU. FREYA runs to hug her
FREYA: ANYA!
Flashback to the selection committee. NIA is placing ANYA'S file down in the center of the table.
NIA: ANYA TRIKRU, she is twenty six years old and a doctoral candidate here at Cornell. She received her bachelor's here in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality studies with a minor in inequality studies. She received her masters in sociology. Her research has not only gotten her attention from the school but also nationally. She has had her research published many times in many different academic journals.
SINCLAIR: I agree that someone with her type of experience and tenure is definitely a plus.
Her file gets put onto the yes board.
FREYA: ANYA! I'm so glad you're here!
ANYA: I've missed you so much, little one.
FREYA: Hey, I'm not a freshman anymore and you aren't my RA.
ANYA: You're right, I'm your room mate now. What do you think of this program they have us in?
FREYA: I don't know, I mean I think the research can do some good it's just the practical part of being put in the woods all 100 of us and being left to our own devices while the professors watch us via drones just gives me too much of a Lord of the flies vibe.
They hear someone else enter the dorm, they go out into the living room area and see BECK OLIVER, Freya's ex boyfriend from long ago. They both go and greet him. In walks BELLAMY BLAKE and JOHN MURPHY. They are looking at the other three with not so happy looks. ANYA is the first to notice those two and says,
ANYA: Looks like this is going to make for an interesting year. We have Cornell's top two jerk's and an ex-boyfriend, well not mine, but hey.
BELLAMY, smirks as he walks over and gives her a half hug and his eyes shift to FREYA who meets his gaze
BELLAMY: I really can't seem to get rid of you, huh?
FREYA: Apparently not, (Now looking at BECK and being sarcastic but she's pretty bad at it.) BECK, I thought I had gotten rid of you.
She is smirking, He understands her sarcasm since they dated and he embraces her in a hug and says,
BECK: It's good to see you too.
MURPHY: Wait, you mean, you two used to date? Freya, you actually dated someone who wasn't old enough to be your dad?!
He snickers along with BELLAMY and FREYA rolls her eyes, suddenly they hear another voice, an unfamiliar one, it seems their last room mate snuck in while they were talking. She is NYSSA AL GHUL and she is in the kitchen with six shot glasses and a bottle of liquor.
NYSSA: On that note, shall we have a drink?
NYSSA is a beautiful tall brunette who is mixed Caucasian and Asian descent. Everyone is looking at her with confused looks because they don't know her, and they generally know everyone. NYSSA senses their confusion
NYSSA: My name's NYSSA, by the looks on all of your faces, you don't know who I am…..
ANYA: No, sorry, did you attend Cornell for your undergrad?
NYSSA: I did actually, well in theory anyway. I was in the same graduating class as you, but I studied abroad almost every semester, I was an Asian Studies major, So I've been almost everywhere in Asia studying their cultures, anyways, cheers?
She was pouring the shots while she was talking and now she grabs one and holds it up and the others follow in suit and they all say cheers before downing their shot.
FREYA is in class with BELLAMY, STAVO, ANYA, FELICITY, FINN, RAVEN, OCTAVIA, JASPER, and MONTY. They are all in DR. MARCUS KANE'S class.
KANE: Welcome, for those of you who don't know me, I'm DR. KANE, I am a professor with the college of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I know many of you here aren't affiliated with that particular college but we think that it is important to learn the essentials of every aspect of survival. In order to have the best post-apocalyptic society we need one that incorporates all areas of study. We need for all the areas to come together, figure out how to problem solve and come up with solution…..(He continues speaking in the background but the students are talking to each other.)
FREYA: Like, how did they come up with these groups?
ANYA: Right, I mean, RAVEN'S an engineer, OCTAVIA I think she did something with health, same as FELICITY. FINN is a government student. BELLAMY and you are degree twins. STAVO, government. MONTY, computer engineering. I mean JASPER'S the only agriculture student here.
FREYA: This whole program is throwing me for a loop I mean -
KANE: MS. OLEANDER, did you have a question?
FREYA is thrown off because she didn't realize he could here them whispering. BELLAMY and his friend STAVO are smirking her way
FREYA: Oh, uh, I was just wondering how my degree would be useful to helping someone with an agriculture degree, I mean, I guess I'm just unsure how this whole program is supposed to work still.
KANE: Tell me something. As a, classics major, right? Yeah, so, have you ever learned of civilization who have had wars over food, had contributors to science persecuted or even had shortages in food that could have been avoided.
FREYA: Well, yeah.
KANE: Can you name some, just any you can think of off the top of your head.
FREYA: I mean, Rome went to wars over grain shortages, their leaders in and out of power over it. They razed Corinth so they couldn't plant on their land again. The entire British empire was made on the consumption of goods trade from other nations, especially food.
KANE: Exactly. JASPER, as our representative from the college, would you have known about any of that?
JASPER: Definitely not. But, why, would I need to? Especially in a post-apocalyptic world, when would that be information be necessary? I mean, is Tribeck going to be there hosting Jeopardy tournaments on the regular?
FREYA: Funny.
KANE: No, I see why he'd think that. I mean in a post-apocalyptic world, do you think their will be just one society? There is going to be many small bands of societies that are going to have to work together, much like today. What Freya and her knowledge could bring is that she knows what's happened before, she might know how to avoid a war with another society, she might be able to use her knowledge to begin trade with other communities. It's all relevant. Every single major plays a factor in every field, that's what you are to determine here, that's what you guys need to do, figure out how to make your major useful. Homework, I want those of you with similar majors to work together come up with some ideas as to how your major relates to what we'll study here in my class. Be ready to discuss these ideas with next class. That's all.
We see BEAUREGARD in his office, he is looking slightly overwhelmed and FREYA enters the room unnoticed by him, she is sitting across from him and after a few moments she makes a noise causing him to notice her, she is smirking and he smiles at her.
BEAUREGARD: Don't worry, I fed the cat this morning.
FREYA: Lynx, his name is Lynx….What are you doing on campus so late?
BEAUREGARD: (annoyed) COULSON wants us to hit the ground running so I've been doing research for Monday's classes, I'm really not sure where to start, I'm not sure exactly what he wants. But we have a staff meeting tomorrow, maybe I'll get some clarity then.
FREYA: (sensed his annoyance) Why do you let COULSON get under your skin so bad? We all know he's a dick, but he can't be that horrible….
BEAUREGARD immediately stops packing up his things and looks her dead in the eyes.
BEAUREGARD: Seriously?! He tried to bar you from the program just because you're my girlfriend, he's a horrible self-entitled man.
This information is news to FREYA, she hadn't been aware of this prior to this conversation but she is no stranger to hearing backlash about their relationship
FREYA: Wait? What? If he didn't want me in the program and he is the director, how am I here?
BEAUREGARD: I presented your file anyways….
FREYA is giving him a look of disapproval and he knew she would
BEAUREGARD: What?! Don't give me that look. It wasn't fair, this program is going to do so good and you're needed to make sure it does good, it wasn't fair that he didn't want you in it because your 'morally reprehensible'-
FREYA: Excuse me?!
BEAUREGARD: What, no, I didn't say you were, he did. He said he didn't want the other students to think that if they slept with their professors they could succeed too.
FREYA: Oh is that all I did. Yeah, Whatever. I don't care what he thinks of me, but I do care that you proved his point.
BEAUREGARD: How did I do that?
FREYA: You brought my file, I don't think you did it because I'm just a good student because in reality you don't really know, I've only taken one of your classes over five years ago because we agreed that if we were going to date you couldn't be my professor. You took my file to the selection committee because I was your girlfriend. You proved his point, that I only got into this program not because of my accomplishments in the classroom but because of you.
BEAUREGARD: You may not have been my student but I know how amazing you are and you deserved a spot. He was never going to acknowledge your accomplishments because of me, I choose to make sure I showed everyone else how amazing you were so they would override his bias.
FREYA: But that wasn't your choice to make. You can't make choices like that for me.
It is evident she is upset and BEAUREGARD is sympathetic to it. FREYA gets up to leave and he grabs her arm to stop her.
BEAUREGARD: Where are you going?
FREYA: I just need some air. I need some time to think.
He let's her leave, he watches her as she leaves.
We see FREYA turning the corner from BEAUREGARD'S hallway and down another, she comes up to an office door and she takes a deep breath in before knocking on the door…We hear a 'come in' and she opens the door, she sits down and then stands up, and then sits back down. As she was coming in DR. NIA was leaving, fixing her hair and DR. COULSON was fixing his shirt as he takes a seat behind his desk to talk to Freya.
COULSON: What can I help you with MS. OLEANDER?
FREYA is a bit frazzled she is not sure what to say she just knows she has to say something.
FREYA: I want out of the program.
COULSON sits up in his chair and is annoyed but calmly replies to her.
COULSON: Why is that?
FREYA: Because I know you think I didn't earn my spot, so if you think I don't deserve to be here then I don't want to be here.
COULSON: Well I was out voted, it doesn't matter what I think at this point, this is government mandated program, the funding provided for the program is for the students names we have already sent in so it isn't as easy as just declining, not now. You received your acceptance letter did you not?
FREYA: Yes but that was before -
COULSON: Then you know, you're locked in, now is that all? It is late and I don't think you should be visiting at these hours…It doesn't look right.
FREYA now annoyed by his words she can feel her blood beginning to boil.
FREYA: What have I done that is so "morally reprehensible" and makes you believe that I am such a horrible human being?
COULSON: (sarcastically chuckles) Well for one, your sense of entitlement is a bit of a turn off. If you haven't noticed your one in one hundred students in the program, you're not the most accomplished here, there are plenty of students who would have loved to have a spot in this program that didn't get one because they aren't sleeping with their professors, then you want to come in here and try to give up your spot, knowing it can't be filled now, because you realize that you don't deserve it?
FREYA: (sarcastically) Tell me how you really feel.
COULSON: It's true, I don't like you. I don't think you're a good fit to represent Cornell in this program, you think it's cute, to be dating your professor, a man old enough to be your father. What you don't understand is that you are ruining this mans careers and credibility that he has been working so hard to obtain throughout his life, he has been working on this career since before you were even born. So I do have a problem with you being here and working so closely with him because it is just highlighting your lack of class and morals. It is taking away the intended focus of the program and opening it up to scandal.
FREYA is furious at what she is hearing but she is smiling.
FREYA: I can appreciate your honesty but there are a few issues with your argument. I never "slept" with my professor as you put it, not that my sex life is any of your business. Also, last I checked like you said he is old enough to be my father, which I would assume makes him a pretty responsible guy, so why aren't you holding him just as accountable for our relationship, It's not like I'm holding a gun to his head or anything. I only took one of his classes anyways so I dare say my entire academic success isn't thanks to him, I graduated with top honors and top of my class so I daresay I built a name for myself, like you said I am one in one hundred students in this program I highly doubt I alone could draw scandal to it. I mean the director having an affair with one of his faculty? Now that could draw scandal.
COULSON: Excuse me?
FREYA: Look we all know your on your third wife, and if the rumors are true you're already looking for a fourth wife in DR. NIA….Aren't you her boss?
On that note she stands up and goes to leave before she does she turns and smiles at him saying,
FREYA: See you in class on Monday.
When she leaves she sees BEAUREGARD sitting on a bench outside the office she tries to ignore him there and she continues to walk away from him. He follows behind her and says
BEAUREGARD: I knew you were going to come here, you can never let things go.
FREYA stops and whips around facing him, she is angry.
FREYA: Are you kidding me?! This isn't what I signed up for. I'm with you because I fell in love with you not because I wanted to be labelled a whore or whatever he thinks. I know I've heard it all before but it has been five years, FIVE YEARS and still nothing is different. I'm tired of the double standard. I'm tired of being told that I am ruining your career. What about my career? What because I'm a young woman I should have known better than to do something like this? Last time I checked we were both consenting adults.
BEAUREGARD: You don't think I get scrutiny too? Do you know how many students have come to my office hours asking if there is anything they can do to bring their grade up like it's some weird porno they've seen on the internet. Shit, BROOKE literally just tried that earlier today and classes haven't even started yet.
FREYA: BROOKE as is BELL'S girlfriend BROOKE MADDOX?...Never mind. I get it but it is just frustrating and now that we are working so closely I feel like it is only going to get worse.
BEAUREGARD: Then maybe we should take a break for a while.
FREYA was looking down but upon hearing this her head shoots up and she is looking at him shocked, she was not expecting him to say that.
BEAUREGARD: I mean what do you want to do? You're unhappy with all this! I don't like arguing with you, I love you! It's not like I'm going to start seeing anyone else and it's not like we aren't going to see each other. Just for a while, let's focus on our work…Don't worry, I'll still take care of Lynx.
He obviously through in that last bit to try and bring out a smile from her, it didn't work. She looks down because she is about to cry but doesn't want him to see.
FREYA: Okay, fine. Whatever. I really have to go now. See you in class Monday.
She turns and begins to walk away and she wipes her eyes as she goes.
BEAUREGARD: FREYA, come on. Stop! We don't have to do this! I was just trying to help.
It's too late she is gone and out of sight. He is left standing their with his hands on his head looking frustrated and confused.
FREYA enters her dorm room to see a lot of people in the living room, she sees BELLAMY with his girlfriend BROOKE in the kitchen along with MURPHY, STAVO, NATE MILLER, OCTAVIA, and EMMA DUVAL. She looks into the living room and she sees ANYA with FELICITY, FINN, MONTY, JASPER, and BECK. FREYA quickly wipes her eyes so no one can see she is crying, BELLAMY watches her walk over to her friends and he notices her wipe her eyes before plastering a fake smile on her face and accepting a drink. He was watching too closely because BROOKE is looking at him like she is waiting for him to respond.
BROOKE: BELLAMY, did you hear me?
BELLAMY: No, sorry, what?
BROOKE: I said, what time are we leaving to go to the bar?
BELLAMY: Oh, um, I think HARPER said it's reserved the whole dorm starting at 10pm. So I guess around then. Shall we just pre-game until?
OCTAVIA: Yes please!
BELLAMY: Slow down little sis, just because your twenty one now doesn't mean I want to watch my sister get wasted.
OCTAVIA: I'm twenty one now, it means I don't need you to monitor my alcohol.
She smirks at him before pouring herself another drink and going to sit in the living room with everyone else. Speaking of….we see FELICITY snuggling with FINN on the couch.
FELICITY: FREYA, how's BEAU?
FREYA: Fine. I don't really want to talk about him tonight though, tonight I just want to spend time with my best friends.
FINN: Cheers to that!
The rest of the people in the room come into the living room, this includes EMMA, STAVO, MILLER, BROOKE and BELLAMY. They are gathering around.
EMMA: Time for a game of truth.
FREYA stands up and leaves the couch for a moment.
FREYA: If we're going to play that juvenile game, I'm going to need another drink first. Anyone else need another?
She looks around, no one does.
JASPER: No, because we're all drinking like normal people, take it easy FREYA.
She just turns and goes to get another drink.
EMMA: Remember, if you don't want to answer the question you have to take a drink. Everyone got it?
She leaves and comes back with a drink. She sits back on the couch. She is sitting next to ANYA on one side and BELLAMY is on the other, BROOKE sits on the ground in front of him with EMMA sitting to her right. Everyone has a drink they're pre-gaming.
JASPER: I'll go first.
JASPER is looking around the circle and thinking. He settles on OCTAVIA.
JASPER: OCTAVIA. Are you single? And if so, do I have a chance?
JASPER and MONTY high five. BELLAMY casts a looks at JASPER. OCTAVIA is flattered.
LAERTES: JASPER.
JASPER: What?!
OCTAVIA: I am and you don't…My turn, ANYA. Out of everyone in the room, who are you most attracted to and why?
ANYA: Oh god, I got to go with BELLAMY unfortunately. He's got a little Asian in him and he looks pretty good with his shirt off.
OCTAVIA: Eww.
BELLAMY is smirking at ANYA she just scowls back.
ANYA: I still hate you. Anyways, MURPHY. Same question.
MURPHY: I'll go with OCTAVIA, don't kill me, BELLAMY.
BELLAMY sends a look at a blushing and smiling OCTAVIA. She sees BELLAMY giving her a look
OCTAVIA: What, I can't help it if people think I'm pretty.
Everyone is laughing except BELLAMY.
MURPHY: …Okay, BECK. What really happened between you and FREYA?
BECK doesn't even think about this one for a more than a second.
BECK: Yeah, I'm not touching that one.
He takes a big swig of her drink.
MURPHY: Oh come on.
FREYA smirks. MURPHY is disappointed. BECK just moves on.
BECK: BELLAMY. Screw, Marry, Kill. FELICITY, ANYA, and FREYA.
BROOKE and EMMA laugh. BROOKE looks up to BELLAMY who is looking down at his drink. BROOKE takes it from him.
BROOKE: I want to hear this one.
FELICITY: Right, he hates us all so much.
All eyes on BELLAMY.
BELLAMY: It's true, this is a tough one, because I can only kill one of you. Sorry FELICITY but I'm going to kill you, FINN might kill me if I say anything else anyways. Also, you talk, A LOT, I don't think I could listen to that in bed or for the rest of my life.
FELICITY: Fair enough, I'll take it as a compliment.
She smiles and drinks her drink.
BELLAMY: Oh god, now it's between the terror twins.
They are both sitting next to him smirking his way.
BELLAMY: Fine, I guess I'd screw ANYA, we'd probably have a good time and I'd marry FREYA, I figure we'd have some pretty good hate sex all the time after annoying each other.
ANYA: I think he just said he'd like to have hate sex with you.
FREYA: He'd only marry me because then he could divorce me, and I'm okay with that. Cheers.
BELLAMY agrees with that and they bump cups. EMMA is looking at her phone and she looks up to everyone
EMMA: Shuttles here! Let's get to the bar! Come on guys.
Everyone is at the club and they are drinking and dancing, we see JASPER and MONTY joking and laughing and FINN is coming up behind them, we see FREYA taking shots with FELICITY and ANYA They just finished taking a shot.
FREYA: Another one please.
The bartender goes to make them one.
ANYA: You got to slow down, What's up with you tonight? Generally it's you who can't keep up with me.
FREYA: I just have a lot on my mind and I'd really like for my mind to just turn off, for once.
ANYA: Well, if it doesn't you can always unload it on me.
They have their shots in front of them. ANYA smiles at FREYA and she smiles back, and they take their shots.
FREYA: Thanks, but, this too shall pass. Let's go dance.
They leave the bar to go do that. Down further at the bar we see STAVO sitting there with a drink and he is watching BELLAMY and BROOKE kiss as they are dancing on the dance floor. He is watching them a little too close. EMMA comes and sits beside him. She orders a drink and that's when he notices she is there. She is looking at him with a smile, he just shakes his head.
STAVO: Say it, I'm pathetic.
EMMA: I wasn't going to say that.
They are silent for a few moments.
EMMA: Why don't you guys just tell BELLAMY what's been going on between you and BROOKE?
STAVO: Because I'd like to stay alive and not lose my best friend.
EMMA: You don't think you'll lose him when he finds out anyways?
He looks at her and then just takes a big sip of his drink.
EMMA: Look, BROOKE is my best friend, but, she's not the girlfriend type, not right now anyway, she enjoys the attention too much, from everyone. Don't let her suck you in.
STAVO: Too late.
EMMA'S drink arrives, she picks it up and is about to leave to go to the dancefloor.
EMMA: Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
Next we see a boy named PASCAL walking over to a girl dancing on the dancefloor, HARPER. He grabs her and says,
PASCAL: Hey, HARPER, I got it. I got us some Wild Fire.
She stops dancing and looks happy at him
HARPER: Shhh. Not so loud, let's go over here!
She pulls him over to the men's restroom and they go in and make sure no one is there. PASCAL pulls out the drug from his pocket and it looks a lot like weed but it is white. He begins to roll it up into a joint.
PASCAL: Are you sure this stuff is cool?
HARPER: Totally, this is the newest stuff out there, the effects are supposed to be awesome without any hangover or withdrawal feeling in the morning
They light it up and begin smoking it. Suddenly they hear the door to the bathroom creak open and they scramble to put the joint behind their back and waft the smoke away, to their surprise is it FREYA.
FREYA: What are you guys doing in here?
HARPER: Nothing.
PASCAL: Hooking up.
HARPER: What are you doing in here, it's the men's restroom…
FREYA: The line for the woman's restroom is too long. Anyways, my twin brother is a drug addict, so I'm not buying it, what are you guys smoking?
HARPER pulls out the joint and shows her.
HARPER: Wild Fire.
FREYA: Never Heard of it, which is surprising because my brother has literally done everything.
HARPER: Wanna hit?
This question makes her uncomfortable and she begins to pick at her skin, after a few moments she answers and says
FREYA: You know what, the kind of day I've had, yeah….I do.
She is about to take the joint from HARPER when suddenly OCTAVIA comes in and sees what is going on and grabs FREYA by the arm.
OCTAVIA: What the hell? Are you guys smoking a joint? FREYA, No, not happening, come on.
She is pulling her out of the bathroom. On the way out HARPER can be heard saying "your lose loser!" After they get out of the bathroom OCTAVIA turns to FREYA and angrily says,
OCTAVIA: Did you really smoke that thing?! What were you thinking? You're so much better than that….
FREYA: You don't even know me! How do you know who I am and what I'm better than. I could be a terrible person, a murderer. I mean haven't you heard, I'm morally reprehensible, I mind as well add junkie and alcoholic to my resume.
OCTAVIA can tell she is wasted. She's pretty drunk too but she isn't having it. Suddenly BELLAMY comes up looking concerned for his sister.
BELLAMY: O, what's going on?
BELLAMY is looking at FREYA and OCTAVIA, FREYA is crying angrily and OCTAVIA is looking at her like a pissed off mom. Laertes looks confused.
OCTAVIA: FREYA was smoking a joint in the bathroom, oh and if you haven't noticed she's wasted, more than me or you.
FREYA: Wrong. Well, yeah I am wasted, but I didn't smoke anything, you stopped me before I could!
BELLAMY is angry and confused he doesn't really know what to do.
BELLAMY: What the hell FREY! Come on you two, I'm taking you both home.
FREYA: (crosses her arms) Like hell you are! I don't want to go home yet. Why do you care anyways, you hate me!
BELLAMY doesn't care what she is saying and he just picks her up and carries her outside of the bar with OCTAVIA right behind, FREYA is cry yelling the whole time. He sits her down on a bench outside, OCTAVIA sits down next to her.
BELLAMY: Okay, I'm going to go inside and pay our tabs and call us an uber, O, just sit here with her. I'll be right back.
OCTAVIA nods and he head back inside, they are both sitting in silence with their arms crossed for a while until FREYA sighs and unfolds her arms.
FREYA: I'm sorry. I've just had a shitty day, I know that's no excuse, you really did save my ass back there. But I mean you really don't know me, so why? Why do you care so much?
OCTAVIA: I don't know, I guess I kind of look up to you.
This shocks FREYA.
OCTAVIA: I know I don't know you all that well but being that you and BELLAMY have known each other for your entire college careers and being that you both study the same thing and you guys have this heated rivalry going on, your kind of the only person he talks about so I feel like I know you.
FREYA: Well I'm surprised you don't hate me then if you've been getting to know me through BELLAMY.
OCTAVIA: (laughs) are you kidding? You do such a good job at annoying him sometimes, I'm jealous, that's supposed to be my job.
They share a laugh when suddenly FREYA hears a noise down the alleyway she turns to look at it.
FREYA: What's that?
She starts to stand up and turn that way but before she can investigate BELLAMY is back outside and the Uber pulls up, he turns to FREYA,
BELLAMY: (he's smirking) Alright, do I have to put you in the car too?
FREYA: (gives him a death glare) No, I think I'll manage.
The three of them get in the car, as they pull away FREYA looks behind them out the rear view window to see the alleyway but she can't see anything. But the audience goes to the alleyway and sees a person eating another person a homeless person, their eyes are glossed over and they are eating the other person's intestines.
The scene opens with BELLAMY helping a stumbling FREYA and a stumbling OCTAVIA come into the dorms,
BELLAMY: Okay, okay, we're going in my room, come on.
FREYA: I need to puke.
BELLAMY: Well you're going to need to hold it in a little longer princess, we're almost there.
Once they reach the room Freya heads for the boys bathroom
OCTAVIA: If I hear her puke I'm going to puke, I'm getting us some water.
OCTAVIA heads to the kitchen to get them all water while BELLAMY heads to the bathroom behind FREYA. He sighs a big sigh and then pulls back her hair reluctantly while she pukes. In between pukes FREYA asks him
FREYA: Why are you being so nice to me?
BELLAMY: Why did you drink so much? As long as I've known you, I've never seen you at a single party, or even drinking a drink.
FREYA: You weren't looking hard enough. I had plenty of drinks, in my room, alone.
BELLAMY: Still doesn't answer my question, why tonight? You looked like you just wanted to get wrecked.
FREYA is finished puking. She sits against the bathtub
FREYA: BEAU and I are taking a break.
BELLAMY: I didn't see that coming.
FREYA: Yeah me neither. I found out COULSON thinks I'm a slut with daddy issues, and didn't even want me in this program, so, the only reason I'm here is because of my boyfriend.
BELLAMY: Screw COULSON, we may not be friends or anything but we pretty much have identical degrees, so I know your accomplishments and I know their legit, so does everyone else. Who cares if he had to force them down COULSON'S throat, you still accomplished everything on your own and if I deserve to be here, so do you.
At that moment OCTAVIA comes in with waters and asks
OCTAVIA: You done?
FREYA: I think so.
OCTAVIA: Good. I hate puke.
FREYA: Don't you study medicine?
OCTAVIA: Yeah, so?
They all share a little laugh
FREYA is sitting on the edge of BELLAMY bed, she is taking her dress off. OCTAVIA is already asleep in BELLAMY'S bed. BELLAMY is at his drawers. He is talking with his back turned to FREYA.
BELLAMY: I have a shirt here you can wear.
He turns around to give it to her and she is in the middle of taking her dress off. Damn she has a good body. He looks for a second too long before turning.
BELLAMY: Uh, you could have warned me.
He is extending the shirt to her with his back turned still. She chuckles and takes the shirt from him and puts it on.
FREYA: You can turn around now.
He does. She is sitting there wearing his shirt as a nightgown, it's hot.
FREYA: Why do I have to stay in here tonight?
BELLAMY: Because, NYSSA is sleeping. You don't need to wake her up being all drunk. Plus, OCTAVIA said so, trust me, you don't know her very well yet, but she always gets her way.
FREYA chuckles. BELLAMY turns from her and he is taking his shirt and pants off, he is stripping down to his boxers. FREYA puts her hands up covering her eyes.
FREYA: Who could have warned who now?
BELLAMY chuckles, he turns around facing her.
BELLAMY: I sleep in my boxers so get used to the view, princess.
FREYA uncovers her eyes. He looks good but she's just drunk, she turns and crawls up into the bed and under the covers, he follows her. She lays facing OCTAVIA. BELLAMY lays on his back. It is awkward silence at first. Then FREYA turns over and faces BELLAMY and laughs.
FREYA: Remember the time, what was it, Freshman year?
BELLAMY: Oh god.
FREYA: You had a horrible room mate.
BELLAMY : I knew you were thinking of this story. Yeah, Matt was a douche.
FREYA: What was the bet, anyways?
BELLAMY: It was on the football game, he thought one team would win so I bet him the other would. Whoever lost had to run up and down the hallway nude.
FREYA: And he locked you out of the room. Naked.
BELLAMY smiles and FREYA laughs.
FREYA: I have never seen you look more terrified.
BELLAMY: I was eighteen, scrawny, pimply, you name it. I needed a tan desperately too.
FREYA: Oh I know.
He turns to face her and he looks at her accusatively.
BELLAMY: Oh, you know? What, were you looking at my ass?
FREYA smiles.
FREYA: I was. I mean I lived right across the hall from you and Imogene and I always left our door open. You were standing right in front of us pounding on your door. I couldn't help it.
BELLAMY: Uh-huh. You couldn't help it huh?
FREYA: You had a nice little butt.
FREYA laughs some more. BELLAMY puts his hand on her mouth and smirks at her.
BELLAMY: Shut up.
FREYA: Make me.
BELLAMY looks at her smirk curiously. He puts his arm around her and pulls her into him. He kisses her. She kisses him back. They are kissing for a few seconds, it is turning into a full make out, her hand is in his hair, he is holding her close. They hear OCTAVIA shift next to them, this brings them back to reality. They break apart. They avoid each others eyes. FREYA turns away from him and closes her eyes. BELLAMY does the same, turning away from her too and closing his eyes, falling asleep.
