if you want the truth i don't trust clexa stans' takes on bellarke either because though we have it in common our dislike comes from completely different places and they're always still SO insistent in their fabrication of Clarke as this sweet angel who deserves better and Bellamy as the scary abusive man oppressing her when that's literally not what happened at any point in the series lmaoooo like the dynamic is toxic but clarke has always had the power there, either physically or narratively (excluding season five, but that season is barely even relevant here anyway). Shipping filters everything. Like Clexas remove Bellamy's nuances completely and measure him up against this pacified, elevated and victimised version of Clarke they've created, and it really bothers me.

#like they rly be like 'omg bellamy is so abusive look at how he called her wanheda mockingly'#as if she didn't deserve it and do much worse to him. to others. and in general ???????????#like sorry but ive seen just as many aggressive and condescending and overbearing clexa fans #imo their interpretation of the show is as twisted as bellarkes and yet both sides claim to hate it about the other like it's so weird lol #they both twist other parts of the show to prop their ship #like characters and relationships #that 'interpretation' of Raven being the supportive bff to Clarke in her relationship with LEXA(O_o) but the writers ''don't understand #their own characters so it didn't happen'' is a personal fave of mine it's just hilariously fucking ridiculous in every way #they both misinterpret the characters within their own ship and the way they relate to eachother and other people #they both willfully strip things of context #they both thrive off fanon #they both go to extremes trying to elevate their ship by pushing down literally everything else around it #they both dont like to acknowledge the bad parts or the uncomfortable parts #(((like i said ESPECIALLY when it comes to clarke)))#clarke is a terrifying and unsettling character/person #the way those 2 groups fight over her makes me laugh #🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️#lol at least clexa was actually canon tho so theyre slightly less insufferable than bellarkes #it's so telling their big ship war prioritised clarke and constantly pacified and elevated her above both of them and more #and don't even get me started on the way they remove the show of nuances and embarrassingly use the term ''sky rats'' (funnily enough they #always make sure to exempt clarke from this rule despite her literally being the skaikru princess. calling them savages and the lot #and they say she's more grounder (??) despite her never growing to respect them or their culture beyond fucking their leader #like this is what i mean when i say stan culture ends up with people who dont even know the characters they claim to love so much #clexas act just as frustratingly hypocritically too especially when it's about lexa vs bellamy #q
