Man oh man I could go on for a while about him. Short answer: he deserves it all and more. It's been a while since I've watched this but I have watched it all. Strap in folks.
Short list of fucked up shit I hold against him:
Helping convince the kids to take off their wristbands originally
Tossing Raven's radio
Massacring Mount Weather
Siding with Pike and literally assisting in the slaughter of 300 people for pretty much no reason
Constantly blowing up at Octavia and being a hypocrite about it
Siding with the cult guy in the last season
Look, I get it. He's flawed. He's got some decent character development. He goes from being an annoying little bugger to a slightly less annoying potential love interest of Clarke. But geez Louise this guy just does not learn. He will commit some giant irredeemable sin and go shit my bad that was not good AND THEN JUST DO THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN. LIKE COME ON MAN.
Addressing the bullet points.
1. Helping the kids take off their wristbands, hell, even encouraging them to, was a terrible idea. These were impulsive teens and preteens but Bellamy is already an adult. He should know better. Removing the wristbands led to confusion as to whether or not the kids were still alive and ruined opportunities for innocent people to survive.
2. Tossing Raven's radio. This goes hand in hand with the last one. Yeah Bellamy, we get it. Ya tried to murder the chancellor and so you're scared that if the others come down, you'll get arrested. But holy shit dude, tossing out the only form of communication you had with the Ark? Really? This led to hundreds of deaths during the Culling when the leaders of the Ark failed to realize that the ground was habitable.
3. Massacring Mount Weather
I'm probably in the minority for saying that destroying Mount Weather was wrong. I'm speaking from an ethical standpoint here. Have you heard of the trolley problem? A runaway trolley speeds towards several people tied to the track. You can pull a level and change the trolley onto a different path, in which only a single person would be killed. Well Bellamy and Clarke sure pulled the lever. But in their scenario, pulling the level killed more people. Sure, they cared more about the smaller group, but they massacred 381 innocent men, women, and children to save maaaaybe 30 or so of their own people.
4. Siding with Pike
I think everyone can agree this was baaaad. He teamed up with a tyrannical asshat and helped slaughter over 300 warriors that the Grounders literally sent to protect them. He also pretty much got Lincoln killed.
5. Octavia
He was constantly bickering with Octavia but the harshest was on planet Alpha, in which he says something like "you're not even my sister anymore". Buddy. She ended up forgiving you even after you helped slaughter her boyfriend. Yikes.
6. Siding with the cult guy
I don't even remember the cult leader's name but c'mon dude. You just got your ass in the clear after following a different tyrant. This guy is a sheep at this point.
Bellamy's character development was going forwards backwards sideways. He was all over the place and frankly, I never felt much sympathy for him.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Writing my thoughts for TUA S2 Ep8:
Tumblr media
WhErE iS sHe?!
Willy 😂
I’m such a child
Ok I’ve been thinking since last night, but Vanya seems to have known how to control her powers. I mean I get she lost her memory but all of a sudden she knows she has powers and knows how to use them....
Wait Vanya can speak Russian?!! No way
CoMmUnIsM
Oh yeah, I’d like to screw Diego 😏
Can’t believe I just said that...
Ok so Ray thinks that the Ikea Mafia were vacuum salesman even though the first thing one of them did was whack Allison in the neck. Sure!
Lila wants to hire Diego. I think not
Diego you selfish idiot!! What are you doing?!
What on Earth is happening?! Geez Louise?!
I still want to know how Grace become some kind of robot....
‘That Shaggy Man’ gah thats great 😂
So if Texas Grace doesn’t die...maybe robot Grace is simply based on her.
Everyone is brain dead to be fair...
Why does Luther sound like some dumb narrator from the cat in the hat?
He sounds a bit like he’s on drugs...
His voice just sounds like it’s changed
Does no one watch movies or read books?
“Sis”
The only problem with the nicknames given to Sissy from Carl,it just makes it sound like she’s his sister...that’s just weird
No?! Not electrocution!! My god that’s horrible
Did they just drug Vanya?!
Damn this is trippy
Oh so she’s remembering her past?
Omg they’re all in their uniforms as adults!! That’s cute
Is that old Five?! He didn’t age well huh
No! Lila can not just kiss Diego and expect things to be fine.
This is some sort of Disney induction shit
Why is Luther acting so dumb like he’s high?!
Grassy knoll! Take a shot every time that is said!
Frequent urination?!
How are bartenders giving alcohol to Five just by trusting his word when he says that he’s of age...even with ID it wouldn’t be believable
How hard can it be? I’d say very hard. Stop trying to kid yourself Diego.
What did I JUST say?!
Oh yeah, the Hargreeves were famous....
Diego seriously needs to stop living life on the edge. Smh
Smooth transition!
Oh of course it’s Vanya!
You Da Bomb Vanya!
Herb needs to stop speaking in different languages, it’s dumb.
The Hargreeve children really aren’t smart, they’d believe anything and it’s worrying.
The amount of farting in this show is becoming childish.
Wait surely they have another 3 days until the president comes.
Oh brains...lovely!
This is making me squirm bleugh
Are Vanya and Harlan linked? No way?!
Diego...always the gentleman.
At the start of the season, there were 10 days until the president was to come and get shot, but Five said there were 7 days until doomsday and now all of a sudden the president is coming on the same day as doomsday and dies? Did I miss something? I think I missed something.
I prefer Allison and Ray’s relationship to Allison and Luthers. It’s more loving and works.
Oh wait, I’m guessing the death of the president is pushed back to doomsday and his arrival?
Reginald was a bully.
HARLAN SPOKE. HARLAN FUCKING SPOKE!!!!!
Wait what the fuck just happened.
Are Harlan and Vanya linked
How
What?!!!!
WHAT???!!!!!

Thoughts on Sansa S8 Endgame
Speculations galore! Long post ahoy!
Let’s run through every possibility I can think of for the end of show-Sansa’s story (and yes, there will be many more possibilities besides these because GOT is layers upon layers, man, I’m still new to the fandom, and there’s probably a lot I’ve missed).
At the very least, let’s do this categorically.
Dead, Alive, or a Fate Worse Than Death?
1. I’d bet money that Sansa survives the whole dang thing
2. But if she does die…it could be A) Sacrifice to save Arya, Jon, and/or Bran, B) in a possible collapse of Winterfell, C) after ensuring the demise of Cersei or a similar threat, D) something worthy of a song
3. Crack Theory: Sansa Becomes the Night Queen?
Shipping...
1. Let’s start with the most popular ship: Jonsa. While I’m not personally a Jonsa fan, I neither hate it nor see it as a complete impossibility. And while I’m not personally a Jonerys fan, I neither hate it nor see it as a no-brainer. Jonsa makes sense practically (uniting Targ and Stark, North & South; they already trust one another; cousin marriage isn’t considered incest in-universe, etc.), though I’m not entirely convinced if the show goes this direction that it would be the most romantic ship ever. The best I see is that it has vibes similar to Ned/Cat when they were first married to one another; they didn’t love each other romantically at first, but it would come with time. As for political!Jon Theory making this ship possible, while I wouldn’t completely put it past the GOT universe to make Jon that cold, it honestly doesn’t jive with what I think is at the core of Jon: which is a hardscrabble sort of nobility, decency, honesty. I mean, if he was politcal!Jon, wouldn’t he have come up with a smoother way to handle Cersei in their first meeting? Anyhoot, the ship isn’t hateful. I think the biggest obstacles are the fact that, even though they are technically cousins, they were raised as brother and sister. You don’t just erase that. This is somewhat “remedied” by the fact that they were never close and Sansa pretty much treated him as a whole-lot-less-than-a-brother for most of their childhood. But GOT has never shown incestuous relationships (again, I don’t really consider historically based cousin relationships as incestuous, but it is a close family bond never-the-less) as a good thing. At all. The Targ’s went mad; Dany’s brother was creepy as fudge; UMM Jaime x Cersei dear Lord; Craster and his Merry Brood, etc. (But this mainly just spells doom for Jonerys, IMHO). So, as with anything in GOT--it’s possible, it’s also not possible, there’s undertones, but there’s undertones for the complete opposite thing happening, etc. Lastly, as for the “romantic framing” of S7, I think it falls under that same maybe/maybe-not. I LOVE Jon and Sansa’s dynamic, even if I don’t see it as romantic, even if does or does not end up romantic. It is certainly one thing: intimate. And the framing (forehead kiss, bittersweet reunion, worrying for one another’s safety) supports that at the very least. If they don’t end up romantically, Jon is the last real strong male relative that Sansa has. That’s not to diss Bran, but D&D have made him a remote magical old man stuck in a teenager’s body. In some ways, he’s dead to Sansa too (as Meera said, “You died in that cave.”). The poetry, the irony, is that the people Sansa had the most problems with in her family (Arya and Jon) are all that Sansa has left now (yes, yes, I love Bran, but again he’s acting more like a solo unit than a family unit at this point)--and she realizes how much they’ve always meant to her. Jon, and Arya for that matter, are different sides of Sansa, just as she is a different side for each of them. The parallels are lovely, and this ship could very well set sail.
2. My personal favorite: Sanrion (Sansa x Tyrion, Tyrion x Sansa, whatever the preferred parlance is). Yes, I’m biased, so this entry will be the longest--BUT, let’s remove my shipper goggles. This, to me, is just as possible as Jonsa. That is, I don’t see it as guaranteed at all, but there’s plenty to read from the text. Let’s get the trouble spots out of the way: 1) the build-up has been few and far in-between since S4 (though they did throw us a bone in S7). 2) the 50/50 chance of Tyrion dying in S8 (no, I’m not basing this on “leaks,” interviews, or what-not--I’m just using this as a baseline guess, given that this is GOT and given that Tyrion is at the center of a very dangerous web of relationships), 3) the show possibly not wanting to ask a twentysomething actress and a nearly 50-year-old actor to act out anything deliberately romantic (however, I don’t expect an on-screen ship to be anything but unconventionally romantic--I very much see it being done with subtle dialogue, color theory, ambiguous looks, an epilogue, etc), and 4) Tyrion may or may not be in love with Daenerys. None of these trouble spots spells doom for me. The greatest “doom” is simply Sansa ending up alone (thematically possible) or with someone else (also thematically possible). Let’s break down counter-points to the trouble spots, then I’ll list my reasons why this ship could sail. 1) Almost all relationships in GOT are troubled and/or unconventional, built up over one season, hidden underneath layers of symbolism, or suffer from the fact that one or both partners are either dead or seperated (by this same token, Sansa’s other popular ships, Jonsa and Sansan, also suffer the same dearth of “development” or copious screen time. Arguably, Jonsa’s foundations were mostly built over the later seasons), 2) yeah, Tyrion could die (and I would be heartbroken but not blindsided) or Tyrion could live (but I would bet money that Sansa lives through the whole thing), 3) the show already put them through the most awkward phase of their “relationship” (i.e., their wedding night, though it was toned down compared to the books) and they can still sell this relationship in any number of ways (again, dialogue, color theory, looks, just holding hands again geez Louise), 4) Tyrion’s “love” for Daenerys is incredibly debatable and may only be used as fuel for a soap opera plot that I really hope doesn’t happen, but even the director of the S7 finale said Tyrion’s main concern was political and Dinklage proposed the idea that Tyrion only “think he’s in love” with Dany, that what most people feel for Dany is awe (I’m neither a Dany fan or hater, but it’s hard to deny that she’s shocking, enthralling, powerful, attractive, a force, for lack of a better term). Now, on to the practical/thematical reasons why I think this ship would work. Let’s use letters for this, haha. A) Fairy Tale parallels/Turning Tropes Upside Down: It’s easy to read inversions of fairy tale archetypes into Sansa’s storyline, as that is what her character is naturally drawn to: songs, princesses, true love, beauty. So far in the story she has learned that looks can be deceiving; life is not a song (though I wouldn’t be surprised if GRRM turns this on its head again, and Sansa simply learns that all great tales involve sorrow and darkness as well as joy and light--i.e., bittersweet vs. simply sweet); people are not black and white (Tyrion shows her that the Lannisters aren’t necessarily all evil and Littlefinger shows her that allies, even someone who loved her mother, are not necessarily all good); etc. Just some of the fairy tales/tropes that play into Sansa’s personal storyline and the subtext of Sansa x Tyrion include: Beauty and the Beast, Psyche and Cupid, Hades and Persephone, The Princess in the Tower archetype, and many, many more (I’ll meta about it one of these days--and there are already many excellent posts under the Sansa tag that expound on these). B) The Queen Elizabeth Theory: So Sansa has parallels with two remarkable historical Queen Elizabeths: Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I.  Since this has been said by so many before, here’s a quote and link to the article as summary: “The show is based off the War of the Roses, the real-life family feud between the Lancasters and Yorks that ended with the two broods combining their houses. Since the storyline happening at the end of season seven is extremely similar to this moment in history, we can infer that GoT will follow that path...” Link  C) Character Actions Written Especially For the Show: Just to name a few: GRRM purposely changed a moment in the books to where Sansa hands Tyrion a cup instead of him having to crawl underneath a table to do so; Tyrion remains loyal to his wedding vows (and this is probably inspired by his trauma for having killed his father and lover as well) even when it was very possible that Sansa had left him high-and-dry and the marriage was, in Tyrion’s own words, a “sham marriage”; Sansa and Tyrion both stick up for one another’s character, etc., and D) Also, aren’t they technically married? :-p [There’s a lot more, but again, I’ll save that for a future meta]
3. Sansan: While there may end up being a slight possibility in the books, I don’t think show-Sansa and show-Sandor are heading in this direction. However, the same fairytale motifs play into play here: Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, etc. Also, bridge4 over on Youtube has a fabulous analysis of the “unKiss” over on his channel, which I think could pop up in some shape or form in S8. Here’s the  link
4. Sansa Alone: Also supports the Queen Elizabeth theory. Specifically, Elizabeth I “the Virgin Queen.” This would a different form of poetry/irony: Sansa, the one who wanted most to be a queen consort and be married to a handsome king and have babies, ends up as a queen (full-stop) but leverages her power as a single lady. Not my favorite ending for Sansa, as I’m Teh Unabashed Romantic, but it’s plausible, thematic, pragmatic. Only time will tell!
The Fate of the North, Night King, Direwolf Theorizing
Just spitballing various takes:
1. The war is “won” (as in mankind survives), but Winterfell or possibly the entire North is compromised. As in, perhaps they have to trade the North to the Winter King at the promise he won’t invade the rest of Westeros. Or Winterfell explodes, so the North and all of Westeros is saved but the Starks lose their home
2. The Starks deliberately blow up Winterfell, for any number of reasons. Perhaps a bunch of wights or what-nots ended up there. Perhaps the dead in the Crypts were resurrected, and this was the only way to neutralize that threat. Or something deeper and darker lurks in the Crypts, something worse than the Night King. In fact….
3. Maybe the true enemy ends up being something awoken within the Crypts of Winterfell, and the Night King is not what he seems….
4. The old gods play an unexpected role
5. The godswood is burned or ends up in splinters or is used to create a new throne (ending the age of iron, fire, blood and making this a “time for wolves”)
6. Sansa’s direwolf Lady is resurrected (of course, poor Lady is headless…) and manages to wound Cersei (if she gets her arse up north, which seems unlikely) before Cersei’s killed by whoever the heck the Valonquar is
7. Speaking of, could Ghost be the Valonquar? I mean, he was the runt, the littlest brother of the brood. Eh, dunno. I just don’t expect the Valonquar to be anything close to what we think he/she/it/them is.
8. I like the idea of parts of the ocean being permanently frozen over because of something the Night King does. Dunno why. I don’t think there’s any foreshadowing to that in the show; it just sounds cool, and represents a permanent consequence to the land. Because I do not expect there to be zero consequence for the landscape of Westeros itself. The Greyjoy’s are already kinda sorta doomed (with eunuch Theon being the last male of that line, unless Euron’s got a kid somewhere and he ends up surviving to take the throne and not be a dick about it), so it’d be a bit of tragic poetry if their islands, their seas were frozen and lifeless but thanks to their efforts the rest of Westeros is safe and their people will have to make a life on land
9. One or both remaining dragons are frozen for all timez
10. Sansa becomes Queen in the North or Queen of the Seven Kingdoms (is there really an in-between?)
Bonus
Lastly, here’s just an observation on an important part of Sansa’s storyline and character development: Arya Stark. I believe Sansa and Arya adopted different pieces of the original storylines in GRRM’s book proposal outline--not that I put much stock in the outline. Sansa was created, at first, to add tension to the Stark family. GRRM says he was surprised by Sansa’s developments; he also says he empathizes with whichever character he is currently writing, so I think he just naturally found things that he liked in Sansa that made her more than a complication device. Because his original vision included Arya as the sole Stark daughter, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sansa and Arya aren’t the result of this once singular character being developed into two very different ways. The archetypal Amazon Wild Child and the Princess in the Tower. Two sides of the same coin--or, in Ned’s words, Sansa is the sun to Arya’s moon and vice-versa. For this reason, I don’t put it past Sansa to continue developing her personal brand of Brave Northern Lady and Arya developing her personal brand of Brave Northern Lady. Because that is what they both are: brave, northern, ladies. Will Sansa find herself at the center of a love triangle? I really, really hope not, but at this point if it is gonna happen I find it much more likely with Sansa than with Arya.
