#jroth if I catch you

[anditwentlikethis]

Clarke killed Bellamy for a book that she ended up not getting, to protect Madi that ended up dying anyways, and then it turns out Bellamy was right all along. So Bellamy literally died for nothing

[lootkey]

Rewatching The 100 bc after reading Fourth Wing all I can picture for Xaden is S1 Bellamy and I had forgotten 1. How feral I am for Bellarke and 2. How much fucking narrative was spoiled for them in the later seasons

[bellamyblake]

hi!! I’m a former HUGE fan of the 100 and bellarke, but after the final season completely shattered my heart and destroyed my trust in showrunners 😀, I haven’t been able to really return to the show or ship at all.

Did you have a similar experience? How do you still enjoy it without the sting?? 💔 Just curious, thank you!!

I understand that this is how it is for most fans, that everyone pulled away because of the ending and I understand and respect that.

I think for me, it's simple, i'll be honest that I never expected Bellarke to happen as much as I wanted it and for me the simple reason why was because of the way things happened back in season 3 with Lxa and everything else. I wanted it, of course, I was hopeful for it, especially after 6x10 and I wished for it to happen but when we found out Bob needed time off, I understood that decision and I understood why it won't happen. Yes, I still think that it was just JRoth being absolutely bitter making that ending, they all admitted it, even the writers that for example Levitt's ending where he gets hurt in the final episode was supposed to be Bellamy but that didn't happen because Bob needed that time off. And yes, I am pissed because of the fact that she killed him, I don't think I'll ever get over it but I just...find it to be absolute bullshit and that is because of the way Clarke's character is ruined to me rather more so than Bellamy's.

I know people talk about him being OOC in s7 and him never doing that, never believing Cadogan, I get that. I do agree that it is somewhat OOC. BUT

I have always been a person to look at all sides about this and that is why I survived season 3 and the way fans were back then (may I remind you the bellarkers hated Bellamy and people were awful to him) and I do think that I find it i my mind the reason why he chose that side. I have my own theory about Bellamy's choices about season 7 but I won't indulge here in that because I'm sure I'll bore you to death (It's a Jasper-Monty-Bellamy meta that I have talked about before I think and for me they are still the only three characters who reached a sort of understanding of how to survive/not survive in this world but who separated themself from the cicle or wheel that Clarke talked about in s7 and who saw things for the way they were, as grim and sad as they happened to be at the time-again, another meta if you want me I can indulge).

But the truth is I have always been realistic about Bellarke and them not happening (Not that it didn't hurt me that they didn't happen, i catch myself wishing I saw a kiss) but I also cannot say I was too surprised. For me, and people talked again a lot of shit about Bellamy in s5, but I do think Clarke is a lot more different in s5 than she was before and I think from there on now we don't see the character we first saw, just glimpses of her. The problem with s6 as much as I like it and find it interesting is that we don't see Clarke much in it since she's kidnapped and I hoped we did saw her in s7 but I feel like she wasn't really herself back there.

So...anyway I can talk a lot and probably bore you to death, but I don't want to do that. The simple truth is that I CAN thankfully separate myself from the show and what I love. I know it was shitty what happened, I cried and still cry when I think about my boy Bellamy dying (Because I will be honest, I was always a Bellamy fan first and Bellarke second, I even write more familial fics with Bell than I do Bellarke, that's how I am) but I can find my reasons behind his actions and no, I'm not blindsided by my love for him, I know his mistakes, I can point them out and I can explain why they happened.

I really have no other simple explanation other than I chose to enjoy what I love and have always loved and ignore the last part. I know most people can't and I do not judge them. He brings me joy. Bellarke do bring me joy still, I love think, headcanon and meta about them and just because someone was bitter and because they didn't really show any understanding and BECAUSE and let's be honest, he didn't want to make Bellarke because Bob and Eliza happened and he refused to play into the narrative of actors being married in real life and indulging fans in the fantasy one, is not my problem.

I often think about JRoth and how shitty he was on more than just the Bellarke occassion (that's another meta) but just how much he, because he is an a**, hates religion for example, so he absolutely demolished it and made fun of it and then used it to show stuff in the most awful of ways just like not just with the deciples btw, but starting from season 1 where he crucified the kids on the trees, how he made fun of the grounder's religion and the commanders, everything JRoth did was a mockery caused by his own inability to deal with his problems so ...honestly WHY would you give away something you love to that guy? I think that's just bs.

Again, I am sad and devastated, I always will be but I choose to separate myself from this narrative, enjoy my Bell and writing about him, enjoy reblogging gifs and making gifs in our now little circle, I enjoy seeing new fans of the show too and them reblogging our stuff. That's basically it.

My love for Bellamy Blake is stronger than JRorth's bs.

[komtrkru]

not to be the downer of the dash but new seasons coming out when your muse is dead is honestly just a lot of waiting.

[justalittlebluetiefling]

So I just started rewatching the 100 (sort of a rewatch/catch up because season 5 is right around the time I stopped watching network TV in general), and I also might read the books but idk about that. BUT. I have a sort of conspiracy theory about why Bellarke never becomes canon, and I think it’s cuz Eliza and Bob got together in real life, and the creative team at the 100 saw what went down over at the Vampire Diaries with Nina and Ian and were like “….. yeah nah let’s not deal with that” and never made Bellarke romantic.

Okay, so your conspiracy theory led to me thinking about this a lot yesterday. Not to dig too far into the drama about it, but we do know a few things: Bob and Eliza got married between seasons 6 and 7 after secretly dating for a few months, Bob asked for some time off (for the sake of mental health) during season 7 filming which meant that they had to rework the storylines, and we've had confirmation (from Bob) that Bellamy and Clarke were written as romantic the entire time.

I... have a lot of feelings about this. And I think that where I land is where a lot people I know have landed. I hate to even say it because it's so petty and like... I never felt like we were owed onscreen romantic Bellarke by any means. But I really do think that jroth hated the fandom and didn't put them together out of spite. Because I'm sorry, but Bob needing time off in no way should have impeded the culmination of that relationship arc. There had been setup between the characters for six years and I know exactly how they could have worked it into season 7 while keeping it exactly as it was. Bob needing time off (not his fault btw) just gave him the excuse he needed to not do it.

It's ridiculous, but I absolutely still think about this (mostly how disappointed the show left me in general) about once a week. I don't think it will ever truly leave me alone lol. We talk about the GoT effect a lot (how it disappeared from pop culture basically because the finale was such a disappointment) and The 100 definitely did that to itself as well. It's so rare to see a fandom so disappointed that they let the piece of media disappear into oblivion after it's over.

This is about to turn into a different rant about writers getting mad when fandoms guess where the story is going and I can't get into that right now lmao

Although, your comment about Ian and Nina is kind of funny. I think they broke up in real life and then right after that, their characters became romantically involved on the show? If I'm remembering correctly. Could you even IMAGINE how hard it would be to get over your ex? Even with how unromantic it is to film those scenes? I feel like that would suck.

[bellamysgriffin]

Hi! What do you mean with "they were supposed to become canon that episode" under the bellarke gifset of season 6 with clarke waking up in gabriel's tent? And why didn't they become canon if there was such a plan? 😭 (I'm still catching up with season 7 but it's pretty clear to me from stuff I've seen on here that they won't be endgame 😭)

oh hey!! so apparently, according to bob morley during a convention, there was a scene in which blarke got together in 6.11, there was initally a separate tent in which they were supposed to become canon. but it was cut, and then bob morley tried to fight for it, but obviously jroth was not interested lmao :(

idk for sure why they didn't -- apparently there were deleted scene in which they became canon in s1 & 2 as well -- but my guess is jroth always kinda resented the fandom, especially bellarke shippers, which is pretty well evidenced from stuff he's said in interviews and the like, and i think the idea of giving us what he wanted always pissed him off.

if there weren't all those behind the scenes issues during s7 filming/writing i think it is very possible they may have gotten together then, but well. i guess we'll never know :(

Desperate Measures: 18/?

MASTERLIST

Summary: Y/N comes back to camp, where several people are waiting to welcome her. But she can’t stay long, especially with Finn and Murphy out there. Bellamy doesn’t take too kindly to a figure from Y/N’s past.

Warnings: canon-typical violence, mentions of a massacre, swearing, guns, death.

Notes: MY BOY DESERVES FUCKING BETTER JROTH! Anyway, I decided y’all needed some healing after that last episode so please enjoy this long chapter filled with plenty of Bellamy/YN. 

If any of you guys ever need to talk about 7x13 and what happened, I’m always here for you. Based on 2x05 “Human Trials”

***

Her breath threatened to betray how strained she felt from the walk to Factory Station and back. She clutched Monroe closer to her. The two women, suffering from similar wounds, leaning on each other for support as they struggled to cross the last few meters.

Her side split in pain, legs buckling underneath the weight of Monroe on her shoulders. She thought she could feel the stitches in her leg come undone.

“They’re back!” Someone shouted as they collapsed against the grassy fields, Octavia relieving the weight by taking Monroe off her hands. Y/N raised herself up, leaning against Bellamy for support.

“I’ve got you sparky.” He whispered, a reassuring smile on his face. Y/N couldn’t find it in her to berate him about the nickname. Her energy cells were depleted, and her leg was ready to bust open. “You’re going to be okay,”

Her balance was thrown off by a body colliding into her, disbelief erupting in her body as she removed her arms from Bellamy’s neck to her long lost friend. The blonde curls impedeing her vision confirmed her theory. Clarke was home.

Clarke was safe.

“You’re okay” She murmured through tears threatening to escape her, voice breaking, “You’re alive.”

She felt Clarke’s smile against her shoulder, “I thought I’d never see you again,” The blonde murmured, tightening her embrace, not ready to let go.

“Neither did I.”

When the two women let go, Clarke shared another tight embrace with Bellamy and Y/N felt herself almost plowed over by another body colliding with hers.

“Holy shit you’re actually alive,”

Her heart almost stopped when she heard the voice in her ear, hands running through the dirty blonde waves that had once been so familiar to her.

She pulled away, unable to believe who she was seeing. “Kyle?” Her voice broke as she said his name for the first time since solitary.

“Hey Sparky,” Wick’s eyes glazed over before pulling her back in for a hug, arms tightening once again around her waist as she buried her face in his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his familiar frame, “I missed you,” He whispered in her hair.

She pushed herself away, wrestling herself out of his stupidly strong grip. “Hey,” she spoke through unshed tears, voice thick with emotion, “Feelings are dumb remember?”

He let out a chuckle and she forgot how much she missed hearing him laugh. “Right,” Wick replied, pulling her inward toward his side, “Feelings are stupid.”

She let out a similar chuckle before a cough threw them out of their reunion. Y/N locked eyes with Bellamy, her throat constricting as nerves jumped upward at the thought of them meeting. This was going to be awkward.

***

Bellamy curled his lips at the sight of the taller guy holding Y/N so close to him, and he didn’t really like the anger stirring within his stomach as he caught the looks they gave each other.

Not that he had any claim over her, but he thought they were headed toward something at least.

“Who’s this?” He asked, trying to keep the irritation from leaking through his voice.

Y/n swallowed before plastering a bright smile on her face, “This is Wick, he was my partner in engineering on the Ark.”

“In more ways than one.” Wick remarked, garnering a playful snort and a smack across the chest from Y/N.

Bellamy nodded, hoping the white hot rage deep in his gut wasn’t visible to everyone the way he thought it was. What the hell did he mean? Who was he to talk about her that way?

“Anyways,” Y/N continued, gesturing toward him, “This is Bellamy, he’s my…”

He swallowed as she creased her eyebrows, struggling to find a way to define their relationship. “He’s my co-leader.” She settled on, and he tried to ignore the way his shoulders seemed to deflate at the sound of the term. He had hoped they were something more.

He wanted to be something more.

Didn’t she?

“Nice to meet you man.” Wick offered his hand out, which Bellamy took for the sake of being polite. “Y/N’s told me all about you, you know before Councilor Sydney went all batshit and crashed the exodus ship.”

“Wait?” Y/N asked, “That was her? That makes so much more sense.”

Wick nodded, wanting to continue talking. Bellamy was grateful for Clarke’s interjection.

“We can play catch-up later” She announced, turning back toward Bellamy and Octavia, “Where’s Finn?”

He saw the hope in her eyes die as Bellamy uttered those three words. “Looking for you.”

Clarke stepped back, ready to launch into a series of questions about what had transpired until a gasp of pain coming from Y/N’s mouth tore them from their conversation.

“Y/N?” Wick’s trembling voice came from Bellamy’s side, the two boys rushing forward to catch her as her leg buckled “Hey, Sparky can you hear me?” Bellamy shoved down his irritation at the use of the nickname and focused on Y/N’s smaller frame. 

“Come on,” He urged, pulling her into his side, her head resting on his shoulder, almost fading out of consciousness from how hard she had walked. His breathing increased rapidly, heartbeat pounding against his ribs as they made their way to the med tent, Bellamy’s gaze never leaving hers.

If they had he would’ve caught the look of realization crossing Clarke and Wick’s faces.

***

For the first time in a very long time, Y/N actually felt somewhat normal. Her leg was hardly bothering her anymore and she could actually move it without worrying too much about any extra pain.

“Hey Sparky,” A familiar voice called beside her, and she smiled in relief as she realized that her reunion with Wick hadn’t been a dream.

“Hey Kyle,” She moaned as she pulled herself up, the lack of sleep over the past few days finally catching up to her. “Where’s everybody?” She asked through a yawn as she gazed around the medical walls surrounding her. She drew her eyes to the gaping hole in her jeans as she ran her fingers down the perfectly neat stitches, the other hand embracing Kyle’s. “How did I get here?”

“Bellamy Blake,” Wick responded, the slightest smirk on his face as he leaned back, releasing his grip on her hand, “You know I think he really cares about you.”

Y/N rolled her eyes, shifting her weight so her legs hung off the table, ready to jump to the ground. “I’m not doing this now.”

“Hey, you were the one who wanted me to come down to help with this situation.” Wick brought up, and she groaned, her feet slapping the floor as she remembered their conversation from long ago.

“I hate that you remembered that.” She uttered, able to walk better than usual. Her eyes glanced around until they fell on a pile of clothes not that far away.

Wick stood up to follow her, “I remember a lot of things, like how Jackson said that you shouldn’t spend anymore time on that leg until it’s fully healed.”

Y/N scoffed, ripping off her tank to replace it with a grey thermal from the pile. Wick’s eyes lingered on her torso, eyebrows shooting themselves up into an arch.

“You gonna stop staring or do I have to close that mouth of yours myself?” She teased, the familiar flirtation sending something uncomfortable ripping through her. 

She hated this feeling. 

She hated the fact that even having Wick here was bringing these memories back.

She hated that it wasn’t Bellamy she was trading innuendos with.

Y/N ignored the smirk spreading across Kyle’s face as he leaned back, “You were the one who broke things off, so just remember that when you want some of this.” He defended, gesturing to his body.

She threw her head back and cackled, the sound freeing her from some of the responsibility she had been shouldering since she came down.

It was true what they said.

Laughter really was the best medicine.

“You come all this way to try and rekindle something Wick?” She used his last name, knowing it was less intimate. First names meant something to them, they didn’t just throw it around because they could.

“Actually I’m here to check on you,” His eyes flickered to her bare legs as she pulled on a new pair of jeans, lacing up her boots as she turned to face him. “And to tell you that your friends are planning on going after the two you left behind.”

Finn and Murphy.

They were still out there and Clarke was back home.

As if sensing her confusion, Wick continued to explain, “The council’s cutting them loose, Raven and I are helping you guys sneak out.”

Y/N bit her cheek mirthlessly, “Great, when do we leave?”

The medical flap opened, revealing Raven standing there with a brace surrounding her bum leg, a duffel bag of rifles around her shoulder as she handed Y/N a pistol. “Now.”

***

Bellamy failed to hide his surprise upon meeting Raven and Y/N at the electric fence, the latter in fresh clothes with a pistol strapped to her side.

“I don’t like you coming with us.” He muttered, shifting his gaze between the two women.

“It’s a shame I don’t listen to you then.” She smirked, handing him a rifle as the pitter patter of footsteps rounded the corner.

Clarke smiled at the two of them, “Nice to see that not everything has changed.”

Bellamy scoffed, hiding the pleasure he felt at the idea of Y/N accompanying them on their journey. He liked her company, and he knew Clarke wouldn’t leave without several stashes of gauze and painkillers on her.

Octavia’s wild braids made an appearance and determination crossed her face. “I’m not letting you leave here without me.”

“Octavia--” Y/N moved before getting cut off by the other girl.

“Finn and Murphy are headed for Lincoln’s village,” She brought up, the argument clearly practiced, “I’ve been there, have you? Have they?” She threw a pointed look at Bellamy and Clarke before Y/N pulled out a pack.

“I was going to say I know.” She smirked, the two girls sharing a smile before Octavia moved forward.

“Whoa,” Raven drew her cane in front of his sister, “Not so fast Pocahontas.” Her cane touched the fence, electricity sparking and crackling as the five of them jumped back.

“I thought you said it was handled,” Bellamy growled.

“It is” Y/N spoke up, raising a radio to her mouth uttering three simple words. “Shut it down Wick.”

She handed the radio to Raven, and Bellamy once again tried to get a hold on the anger raging inside him at the thought of Y/N and Wick spending time together while he was out petitioning to save their friends.

He hadn’t been there for her. Not like Bellamy had,

The next time the cane touched the fence, nothing happened. And he supposed he had Wick to thank for that.

He sighed as they snuck out, barely catching the look Clarke gave him and Y/N as they shuffled forward behind Octavia, footsteps matching each other.

***

Bellamy shifted uncomfortably on the log, eyes locking onto Octavia’s sleeping frame, a small tug at his lips recalling everything the two had been through. Clarke slept a few beats away, curled up next to the flames, blonde hair splayed out on the grass beside him. He was grateful to have her back. Having her around made things so much easier.

When his eyes flitted to Y/N’s blanket, he perked up in worry, the pack abandoned on the forest floor as he looked around, searching anxiously for his co-leader, his friend, his...something.

“Relax,” Her soft voice answered, footsteps settling next to him before she sat down next to him, her body warming him more than any fire ever could. “I was just scouting the area,” She waved her pistol before holstering it in her pants like he once did, letting him know that she was armed and ready to defend herself.

He let out a sigh of relief before turning his gaze beside him, eyes scanning her illuminated features. She stared out at the fire before him, ponytail drifting over her shoulders as she leaned forward, elbows against her knees.

“Did you mean what you said?” He swallowed his nerves, ready to get an answer to the question that had been plaguing him since the day she got shot. “Back at the dropship, before we got seperated. Did you have feelings for me?”

He watched her shoulders tense at the question, and he knew he had taken it a step too far. They were in the middle of a war, they shouldn’t be talking about this. They shouldn’t be focusing on this, but he needed to know.

“Yes.” She breathed, eyes flickering to his mouth, “I do have feelings for you. Murphy was right.”

His chest exploded at the confirmation, nerves evaporating into relief as it pumped through his veins. 

“That’s a relief.” He joked to ease the tension, “I was afraid I had to beat Murphy if it wasn’t true.” She chuckled, the hushed laughter sending his chest pounding with pride. “Maybe I’ll beat him anyway.” He continued, his lips tugging involuntarily. “Just for kicks.”

“You should cut him some slack,” Y/N spoke up, surprising both of them before letting out a yawn “Even he and I have something in common.”

It was Bellamy’s turn to chuckle, “You should get some sleep,” He brushed a piece of hair that had fallen loose aside, pushing it behind her ear as he examined her beautiful face again, the touch sending shivers down his spine.

“So should you.” She pointed out, hands brushing themselves across the wrinkles in his forehead.

He couldn’t keep the adoring smile off his face, wanting nothing more than to press his lips against hers right then and there, to take her in his arms and forget the rest of the world existed. She made him want to be better.

She made him want to live.

“I’ll sleep when we find Finn,” He said, shoving those thoughts to the back of his mind as he remembered his own reality. “I knew what they were capable of, and I let him and Murphy leave with two automatic rifles.”

“We let them leave.” Y/N reminded him, grasping his hand in hers, drawing his gaze toward her intertwined digits. “You don’t have to do this alone.”

His gaze moved up her arm, meeting her exposed neck until it finally landed on her soft lips, and the desire to kiss her had never been greater until that moment.

It seemed so perfect.

The gap was almost nonexistent.

Inching closer and closer--

“I’m sure it was just like the dropship,” Clarke’s trembling voice rang through the fire, tearing the two apart. “It had to be done.”

Bellamy nodded slightly before shifting his gaze to the fire, one final question lingering on his mind. “How long until chocolate cake turns into being hung upside down and drained for their blood?” His voice shook, as if he couldn’t handle the truth. As if one wrong move would topple him.

“I don’t know” Clarke admitted, sitting up, “But we don’t have much time.”

Y/N nodded with him, “First we find Finn,” She chimed in, “And then we rescue our friends in Mount Weather.”

“And Lincoln.” Octavia announced, everyone finally awake. “Think we’ve slept long enough.” The rest of the group agreed.

“I’ll go find us some water to extinguish the fire.” Y/N announced, tearing herself out of Bellamy’s grasp to enter the darkened forest.

“She’s good for you Bellamy.” Clarke told him as soon as Y/N was out of earshot.

Bellamy nodded, ‘She’s good for all of us.” He said instead, ignoring the knowing look on Clarke’s face. “I don’t think any of us would’ve survived if she hadn’t been on that dropship.”

“You got that right.” Octavia snickered, a soft smile on her face as she caught the look in her brother’s eyes. “We got lucky.” She said.

Bellamy nodded, sending a look in the direction she had disappeared in. “Really lucky,” He murmured to himself.

***

“We’re almost there.” Octavia announced, continuing her way through the endless amounts of trees, “Once we reach the statue it’s only another kilometer or two.”

Y/N creased her eyebrows in confusion, she tilted her head as she linked eyes with Bellamy.

Statue?

Were there remnants of Old Earth that had survived the bombs?

Her question was answered once they stepped deep into a clearing, the dirt path stretching before them, but Y/N’s eyes were trained on a vine covered monument above her, a brief moment of awe crossing her face before a sob pulled her back to reality.

“The reapers came from there.” Octavia spoke, tears falling down her face, “I couldn’t save him Bell, I couldn’t save him.”

Bellamy pulled Octavia close, reassuring her that they would find Lincoln again and he would make sure of it. Y/N shuffled closer to Clarke, glad to have her with them as they traversed forward.

“I recognize this statue,” the blonde announced, “He was a great peacekeeper before the cataclysm.” Clarke and her stared up at the statue once again, letting Bellamy and Octavia have their moment. “I destroy my enemies by making them friends.” Clarke whispered, and Y/N tilted her head, not recognizing the quote. “It was quote of his. One that I think we need to implement.”

“How you reach the goal matters.” Y/N told herself, realizing what Clarke was hinting at, “You wanna seek peace with the grounders?” She asked, knowing it was the most logical conclusion.

Clarke nodded, “Their people are in the mountain too. We need--”

Shots rang out, pulling the foursome back to reality as they raced toward the village, hoping they weren’t too late.

They scrambled down the man-made path, dirt roads and statues forgotten as their eyes graced the horror awaiting them at the grounder village. A burnt farm crumbled at their side, blood poured onto the streets and a man with a face tattoo released a guttural scream to the sky. 

They scrambled down the hill, and Y/N’s gaze went to Murphy, whose gun was slung behind him. She turned her eyes to Finn, smoke rising from the barrel of his rifle.

She leaned down next to Octavia, examining the warrior--no, the child bleeding onto the pavement beneath him.

Beside her, the sobbing man closed the child’s eyes whispering one phrase. “Yu gonplei ste odon*.”

Behind her, Finn’s crazed eyes were locked onto Clarke’s whispering a phrase of his own.

“I found you.”

***

That night her mind refused to sleep, replaying the massacre over and over, recalling the final words the man with the face tattoo had spoken to that child, the screams that followed. She couldn’t get them out of her head, and when she slept they only made things worse.

She wanted Miller here.

She wanted him to steal moonshine and tell her that things were going to be okay, to cheer her up with his awful jokes and play games together as they spilled secrets they wouldn’t whisper to anyone else.

Pulling herself out of bed, she shoved the flap of her tent open, wind rushing against her exposed legs, not caring about who saw her. His tent was close enough to hers.

No one would question it.

Especially what remained of the hundred.

Warm light flooded the room, almost blinding her as she stormed into Bellamy’s tent, the brunette rushing his hands through his hair. She suspected his mind was doing the same thing.

“Couldn’t sleep?” Was all he asked, eyes widening.

She shook her head and he gestured toward his own bed, she moved in next to him, the last of the oil in the lamp burning out as she pressed her body against his, relishing in the warmth they gave each other.

A/N: IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!! Our babies are together at last! I debated about changing it so it happened much later, but after tonight I think we all could use some romance in our lives, especially with Bellamy Blake.

Happy Last BFSN EVER!

As many of you know, I actually haven’t been watching the show....at all. It really is a dumpster fire (or should I say DUMBster fire ha) where nothing makes sense. I’m SO incredibly mad at the worst creator ever and his trusty sidekick, kimshum. I’m so sad that this is the way that the last season went. First we get absolutely no promos, we get no Bellamy in said promos, we have SO much drama with rumors and accusations, then Bellamy dies with absolutely no drama, no sendoff, no SENSE! I haven’t watched that scene and I don’t plan on doing so any time soon unless things change drastically tonight. I hope you guys who are still watching enjoy it and know how truly strong you are. Because after certain things have come to light, I don’t want to give Jroth any satisfaction. The one good thing that will come out of this is that we get to watch his career flush down the toilet. If there is no payoff tonight, this will literally go down as one of the worst show endings ever. And ya know what? Jroth deserves that title due to his pettiness and actual gaslighting of the Bellarke fandom (and yes, we can safely say that after how things progressed and then all of a sudden regressed, and him telling us that we are misinterpreting what we are seeing right in front of our eyes.) 

Update on my life- I’m in art school now! I’m so excited and I’ve been loving it so far. I’ve been so busy that I’ve barely had time to enjoy really anything but at least school has been fun so far! The above pic is just something I was playing around with one night.  

I also was nominated a few times for the Bellarke fanfic awards as a creator! I was nominated for best art to accompany a fanfic ( @pawprinterfanfic ‘s AMAZING fic, When the Wolves Come Home,) and best fanartist! I appreciate the nominations! I want to take this last little bit of time to tell you guys how much I appreciate and love you guys. I’ve made so many amazing friends and met so many awesome people over the years and for that I am so grateful. I’m not sure how active I’ll be on here in the Bellarke fandom specifically but I’m sure you’ll catch me reblogging and raving about Lucifer and the Witcher in the future. Big thanks to the Bellarke fanfic writers who single-handedly saved the hearts of the fandom. You guys are heroes.

i only just found out about the bts drama during season 7 or pre season 7 of the 100........ holy shit............... i never thought someone could be This Petty and Spiteful............. safe to say i'm going to actively avoid anything jroth touches, yikes.

(also "the actor had to leave so we wrote this into the story" is the WEAKEST excuse to ruin a character arc and puts the blame on the actors for needing time off/moving on when the writers are just incompetent. plenty of shows have dealt with actors leaving and in this case bell's actor wasn't even leaving, he just needed reduced hours? the fuck. prime example - nina leaving tvd and returning for the finale. was it an amazing ending? no. but every fan would rather have an underwhelming finale than one that absolutely butchers the characters.)

I mean I 100% agree with you on everything you said though like... let’s say that even if the100 had had a perf ending I wouldn’t have considered catching up because as it is right now everything to do with that show is wholly and thoroughly ruined and I’m not even rewatching what I liked of it because just seeing the mention makes me feel angry af, but like jroth always was a shit showrunner and this trend of fucking up perfectly decent endings because you have to spite your audience or the network and write stuff that makes no sense just because you can and getting paid for it is like... a trend that had to die yesterday

[hikarielizabethbloom]

Ok, you all know how much I dislike Abigael (or better how much I hate the way writers decided to write her) and that I don’t want her near Mel! *

But WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK the writers were thinking? My connection was bad on Friday, and I also tend to zone out when A. is on screen these days, so I didn’t catch it live. 

Abigael was forced (through a spell) to admit she has feelings for Mel. They did that. They went there.

Now, I’m not gonna talk about how much I hate these kinds of violations of people’s agency (I don’t like it when A. does it to others, I don’t like it when it’s done to her). 

My issue is that they did all this an ep after Mel and Ruby said they love each other (which makes their relationship serious), and after leaking that Poppy will probably leave the show by ep 17 (we’re on ep 14 now). It means nothing will happen between A. and Mel.** It means that once again a cw show show gave its bi character virtually no happy ending. Now, I don’t watch many cw shows but it happened on The 100 with Clarke (who apparently is the worst human being ever existing), *** they did it with Dean on spn and now with Abigael. Bi character can’t have love in their life. HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT? I mean these three shows manage to be homophobic, biphobic and queer phobic in general even though one of the main characters is queer. I’m baffled. What problem do people who work on this network have with bi people? Do they think they don’t deserve love because they couldn’t pick a side? What? Because I don’t understand. 

And I’m actually sorry for you abimel fans, because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to be played with, and used for business and in the end, being called a delusional for thinking (logically) that something good will happen. In Charmed case, they can’t erase Ruby, which means, that in end either A. will die, or she will leave, and her love will be unrequited or, if they will acknowledge it again (I’m not even sure they will do that, to be honest) it would be likely a ‘we had bad timing’ kind of things (like what they did with Kat). And that’s FUCKED UP! Because the writers know what they’re doing. They don’t live in a bubble. They know how this will plan out in the end and they decided to do it anyway because THEY DON’T CARE. They don’t care about women, they don’t care about black people, they don’t care about queer people. THEY JUST DON’T CARE! 

AND I’M FUCKING TIRED. 

*I’m not a fan of redemption arcs in general especially if they involved a ship because they usually include a character (most of the time a woman) being sacrificed at the altar of another character and I’m so not here for that. 

** I mean there are only three eps left and we know that Melonie being pregnant affected her screen time. Mel is, also, in love with someone else and unless they retcon what happened with Ruby (I mean they could, they retcon anything they want on this show), or they kill off Ruby (which would be like wrong on so many levels) it’s impossible for them to actually happen.

*** I was never a fan of Lexa or Clexa (still, what they did to the character was terrible), but I loved Clarke. I’ve always thought she would die in the end, and then, she didn’t. With the (atrocious) way the show ended they could have given her at least a (still fucked up) happy ending. But jroth decided to kill Lexa once again (after hinting that there was a way for her to be back) the same ep he killed off Bellamy, which destroy any chance for romantic love for Clarke (he even killed her daughter the next ep basically). And then, he used Lexa fans by baiting them for the final ep.

Before I watched the series finale (which I plan to liveblog. See that you have #t100 liveblog, #t100 716 or #t100 spoilers filtered if you want to avoid that lol. I doubt I can stop myself from peppering this post with spoilers of the finale either, so be warned too), I wanted to share my thoughts on the remaining episodes I had left:

7x14

-I liked the Raven-Memori scenes, as usual. Emori’s crush on Raven is adorbs. I didn’t mind the manipulation quote either, I agree with other metas I’ve seen around *shrugs*. Maybe it wasn’t the right word (pep-talk sounds closer to the truth), but it sounds plausible from Murphy’s now, especially after Bellamy died estranged from everyone. Good of him to point out not wanting Sanctum’s citizens to live in a miserable planet is not being a hero, just decent xD

-Everyone else’s reactions to Bellamy’s death were way too underwhelming (bitch me too, the fuck.gif), but man did I enjoy seeing Clarke squirm xDD. As much as I enjoyed Madi going off on her. And did you all catch how she was too slow to kill Cadogan. She’s such a fuck up LMFAO. I really don’t know what to do except laugh at her, especially knowing what I know now.

-Indra’s scenes with Gaia and with Octavia gave me life. I’m so happy I waited until now to see them, because otherwise I would’ve been too stressed out thinking they were giving her ~closure before killing her off.

-Those scenes between Gabriel and Madi hit me harder than I expected. HE WAS TEACHING HER TO PLAY PIANO. OUCH. OTOH, the difference in quality and quantity between his and Bellamy’s death/mourning scenes (Hope’s palpable pain, Octavia’s and the group’s farewell)... truly something else, A+ in trolling as usual, show.

-JRoth really took every anti-becho argument in this fandom and said “fuck you, you’re wrong” for fourteen episodes straight huh xD. Anyway, unless there’s any additional info in the finale, I’m going to still call her Echo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-Niylah fucked Blodreina, right? It’s confirmed? That’s how she avoided the pits, clearly xD

-Me at the Emori-Octavia hug: oh look, another one of my crackships xDD (I already thought so back in s6, especially when Octavia helped her in the finale :P).

-Jsyk, if I didn’t know Memori makes it, Miller would’ve become my most hated character in the show in this very moment. WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!? xDD

7x15

-Yet another episode I spent thinking “thank fuck I already know Memori lives” lmfao. Seriously. It would’ve been so stressful otherwise. This way I can enjoy Murphy at his most romantic, Raven’s desperation for saving Emori, the hammer scene xDD, and ofc Emori getting to have his cake and eat it too by having her prioritize everyone else but everyone else prioritize her. I love it when my fave secondary girls get lead girl treatment lmfao, and seeing the last episodes having a subplot that’s just “we need to save Emori at all cost!”? My jam.

-Raven recovering and having good scenes as soon as she’s around the people in her corner is so strangely fitting lmao. Anyway, love to have her back!! “I’m going to save you and then I’m going to save everyone else, that’s my thing” :DD

-Welp, Madi’s plot was as horrifying as expected!! I hate Clarke so much right now (speaking of, thank goodness the show didn’t fully delve into Clarke/Gaia. Gaia deserves better. Let my Echo/Gaia rareship raise post-series too xDD. I’m game for Echo/Gaia/Raven too. There’s a whole polycule ready to go there. Clarke’s excluded ofc).

-In an ideal world season seven would’ve taken longer/started sooner and got time to expand on a lot of things I guess, but as it is I do enjoy Levitt/Octavia *shrugs*. Not my preferred ship for her, obviously (that’s still Biyoza xD), but I like it, and its messed-up parts actually help with that lol.

[aphrditee]

Wow

WOW

I was going to wait until the finale season was over to catch up because I was too far behind but this settles it.

Bellamy Blake, LEAD male, here since day fucking one, had the best character development and was the heart of this shit show imo. Yet, these writers had the audacity, not only to kill him off, but you had HER do it?? 100% Fuck JRoth, this was so senseless I am so sorry to those who actually watched that hideous end scene.

[kalena-henden]

I saw your post about things you’ve watched lately. I’ve seen you reblog them but have you also watched the latest seasons of the 100, queen of the south and agents of shield?

I did not watch final season of The 100 nor do I intend to cause they did my faves dirty and the plots have been nonsensical for awhile (*side eyes jroth*). Though I have reblogged character gifsets and was aware of the general storylines through people I follow and some reviews I read. Tonight I read Gizmodo’s finale review that stated the show had ‘jumped 12 sharks’ over the years and that was before the finale which made me laugh cause it’s sad but true. Srsly, I need a 12 Days of The 100 parody song with ‘12 sharks a-jumping’. lol

I have not yet watched S4 of Queen of the South. I had planned on watching it this summer before the new season started but Covid stopped filming. However, they just re-started again (yay!). So I’m waiting until whenever the new season will air to catch up. Still reblogging all the gifsets in the meantime.

As for Agents of Shield, I heard good things about the show and final season (especially Daisysous) which made me want to catch up before the series finale. I started where I had left off and binged S4 - S7 in about 2 weeks. I honestly barely finished in time to watch the series finale live but I made it! In general, I really enjoyed where the show went and they had a solid finale.

[justalittlebluetiefling]

So...I definitely wasn't paying attention or really thinking about what would be on my dash when I jumped over to tumblr and I definitely saw a spoiler that made me think, "Do I want to even bother watching this season at all, if that's what I get?" I don't know if I want to start catching up tomorrow anymore...

I’ll watch it tonight and I’ll message you and let you know what I think. Because I think I saw the spoiler on Twitter (totally forgot that I follow jroth on there) even though I scrolled past it in a panic. Pretty sure I read a sentence of it. 

But yeah. I don’t know. I’m going in even more skeptical than I was before. I’ll keep you updated.

[greyjedireylo]

THIS THE100 EPISODE IS EXTREMELY REYLO BUT I CANT TELL IF JROTH SHIPS IT OR IF HE HATES IT AND HES DOING HIS OWN FIXIT WHERE OCTAVIA DECAPITATES HER INTERROGATOR OR STH

LISTEN I was GOING THROUGH IT last night

yeah I had the same worry as you at first but the way things are going, how quickly he fell in awe of her and helped them (he was even the one who put the “trust Bellamy” note in Hope’s arm????) combined with how he RAN to her to catch her when she collapsed to the floor at the end, I actually feel like this is a for real developing romance and honestly I never knew jroth had it in him

[ragnarssons]

Y’all are really out there saying we didn’t get good Bellarke last night- I’m- Listen. I’m like Murray Bauman right now “CHILDREN, CHILDREN, CHILDREEEN” okay this is the best Blarke we’ve ever had. And why? Oh because the script and the screen and the camera and the acting, and all of this worked together and didn’t fucking shy away. The only ones still circling around this idea are Bellarke and Bellarke only: yes, these two dumbasses in the story. There is no “oh this is platonic” anymore and I swear to God if Jroth were to come out right now saying “nah they’re platonic soulmates” I would LAUGH (I mean, I was already chuckling until now, but this time it would be an explosion of laughter at the ridicule of this statement). It’s NOT platonic and the story is VERY NOT telling us “oh maybe it’s platonic” anymore. No, nop, sorry, I know I’m a dumb blarke hoe but I studied cinema okay, I know when I see some shit that is meant to be UNDENIABLY meaningful in a precise direction. It’s called directing, editing, writing, production, framing, story-telling, and the ONLY one we could keep with this is-

THAT ONE. And Josephine is NOT talking about platonic love or “oh the love of all her friends”. No, she’s talking about Gabriel’s love. Gabriel who bent the physical laws of life and death for the woman he loved. Gabriel and Josephine who were explicitely paralleled to Kane and Abby in their actions. And ARE too paralleled to NONE OTHER THAN BELLAMY AND CLARKE IN THEIR DEVOTION TO EACH OTHER. So yeah, I mean if you were dense like some antis you could be like “oh but Josephine is just telling a story and oh look the camera is showing us that Bellamy is listening like a good boi” OH BUT-

Oh but- but- what is this? A direct camera frame on Bellamy’s face? As some of my mutuals already pointed out, a close shot like this is meant to indicate intimacy and to expose a certain character’s feelings. That’s why you have close shots when a character is sad or angry or joyful. These are usually close shots of the character targetted by said emotions, ONLY. These are called “close-ups” for a reason, because they’re here to allow the audience to see and dissect a character’s FEELINGS. And what does Bellamy do may I say? Wow he’s taking the blow like he did when Octavia literally did the exact same thing, last season. Bellamy, reacting the same way, to a character, ONCE AGAIN joining Clarke to the word LOVE. His reaction? Conceiling said feelings from Josephine, like he did with Octavia last season (you can see him also turning his head away from Octavia’s gaze). Now back to the first shot, how do we know that Josephine’s little story was targetted at Bellamy and meant to emphacize Bellamy and Clarke’s love/story? Oh well, because of the camera. And that camera is a BIIIIG Bellarke shipper this season. I mean, it has been for a while but goddam, she isn’t holding any punches this season. This whole story is said through focus. While Josephine is talking, the camera is focused on her: we listen to her and she even shares her emotions. Why? Have you learnt, students? Because of THE CLOSE-UP. But oh, she’s also a little smug about it, I mean it’s clear. Well because she isn’t just sharing a personal story with someone, she’s literally sharing a personal story that resonates in a particularly intimate way with said person. And the word LOVE out of all this, is the most interesting of all. Oh LOOK AT HOW THE FOCUS SHIFTS AT THAT WORD. Love, making the whole world shift from Josephine to Bellamy. Now I would argue that the difference of emotions and how the camera left Josephine for Bellamy to the word “love” could mean that Josephine doesn’t LOVE Gabriel anymore. But idk, it’s hard to tell because she’s basically, really a sociopath. But tbh I could say that while Gabriel and Josephine’s love story that went through the ages for two hundred years (heyyy you know? Bellarke’s love story is almost as long as that by the way, what a weird... coincidence, huh?) is about to end, there is another one, that is about to leep through the screen and kills us all, and that’s Bellarke. Thing is, the camera framing on the first gif is literally meant to BIND Bellarke and Gabriel/Jospehine at the same level of love and devotion they had/have for each other. What do we know? Oh, only that Gabriel cheated death for Josephine. Literally what Clarke and Bellamy did for each other during this entire season. And on s4. What do we know? Oh, that 200 years later, Gabriel is still in love with Josephine. And that, tbh, under all of this, Josephine is probably still in love with Gabriel (hence, Russell playing with her feelings on episode... whatever, the one where already, Josephine and Gabriel’s love was paralleled with Bellarke). Oh, just like Bellarke after a six years time jump + 150 years nap. It’s funny how it takes two 200 years old star-crossed soulmates to point out the canonical love between our 150 years old plaTTTonIC soulmates, y’know? Josephine KNOWS, Josephine saw, and even, Josephine was shooketh to her fucking CORE by Bellamy’s love for Clarke- did you see her face after the “I won’t let you die”? Bitch, she literally saw her lover aka Gabriel in Bellamy. He’s that devoted to Clarke, they’re THAT kind of love story and hey, remember what Josephine told Gabriel at the very beginning of the season, during their first scene? “Fine, play hard to catch, I know you’re obsessed with me” THE END.
