[yiangchen]

it's so tragic funny that while i was watching t100, jroth was so adamant that there was nothing romantic there with bellarke, that it literally made me doubt what was very clearly being written as romantic (and it actually was. like, we know this now. it has been confirmed).

looking back, bellarke could have kissed at so many different points in the show, without changing anything else but having them kiss, and it would have made perfect sense. it would have flowed. it would have aligned with their relationship development.

just think about it. 1x09. unity day. is this a bit early? yes. but do they have the chemistry? yes. and have they had sufficient build up for two characters to have their first kiss? yes. honestly more than a lot of ships that happen in the first season of their show. especially since day trip just happened! plus, the flirting during unity day was...not subtle.

listen...she wanted to kiss him here so bad. seriously though. clarke could have and that would have been a very natural progression of this scene. it would have especially fit the early drop ship days vibe.

(or you could add in a scene where clarke finds him later, now sufficiently buzzed, they flirt some more, then she kisses him, and bellamy's like, "woah, woah, princess, what are you doing?" but he's smiling and she just shrugs with a smile and goes in to kiss him again, saying "having fun", and bellamy says, "you're drunk" and clarke is exasperated saying, "well you told me to!" and bellamy laughs, very amused, and from the look in his eyes, you can tell that he is also very very VERY smitten.)

if you still think that's too soon, yeah, i tend to agree. i love the idea of s1 bellarke in fanfic, but for the show, i prefer a bit more of slowburn. so let's push it to season 2. no, that's not a true slowburn, but still, you had to wait a little for it, and a lot of shows do this successfully. so anyway. 2x05. post iconic reunion hug, shot in a very romantic way i might add.

bellamy is watching clarke sleep by the fire, she wakes, we have some platonic gazing with firelight flickering across their faces...

we all know how the scene goes. he reassures her. he confides in her. she reassures him back.

i'm sorry, but the way they are looking at each other here? dude, if they had been sitting any closer, they could have kissed. i tend to think it would be more in character for clarke to initiate a first kiss with bellamy in s1-4, but in this scene, i 100% could see bellamy going in to kiss her after this.

(and yes, i'm aware that octavia was pretending to be asleep this whole time, but honestly, her reaction to them would have added some much needed levity to the situation. octavia is a bellarke shipper, after all. also, some people might say that this would make clarke's "i love you" to finn less believable, but i disagree. you can have feelings for two people at the same time. i mean, she literally kisses lxa very quickly after finn's death sooo yeah...plus, it would have made the bellarke angst of s2b/3 even better.)

maybe you still want more of a slowburn though, and that is perfectly fair, which brings me to s3, which in my opinion would have been one of the best seasons for canon bellarke. alright. 3x05. hakeldama yup! it was prime time for a first kiss. i mean, all the build up of s1/2 obviously, but also...this had just happened:

but anyway...back to hakeldama. this is the peak of their angst. nothing tops it.

but then, after the heat of the moment, the softness comes in. as it always does with these two. they wind up sharing the softest, most romantic scene in this entire show (fight me).

that last gif, man...at this point, i think they would both go in for the kiss. mutually initiated. god, it would have fit the scene so well!

(some people might say that this would invalidate clarke's love for lxa, considering everything that happens two eps later, but again, i disagree. like i said before, you can have feelings for two people at the same time. people might also say that this would undermine bellamy's relationship with gina, but you know what? the whole fucking narrative undermined that relationship, so i really don't care. i loved gina, but if clarke can kiss lxa right after finn's death, then bellamy can kiss clarke right after gina's death. this show is messy, okay? and bellarke are messy as fuckkkk.)

still think it would be too early? okay. season 4 then. very recently, i realized how easy making bellarke canon in s4 would have been, holyyyy. starting off in 4x03. bellamy is sleeping on the couch and clarke watches him sleep with the softest smile on her face (i'm still crying about this btw). i can't find the right gif, but you all know the smile! then clarke is struggling so bellamy wakes up and is there to support her, making a declaration that has romantic undertones, it just does!

and then clarke lowkey makes a move on him lmao. for real though?? what was this???

i would only change one thing here. he takes a seat beside her first and then puts his hand on her shoulder. so that way they are eye level (aka kissing level).

when she lifts her head off their hands, their faces would be so close. maybe bellamy would tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, not realizing how intimate that kind of thing is until he does it. i could see them kissing here. clarke would initiate. although, i think it would be so much better if it was just an almost kiss. bellamy tells her she should get some sleep right before it happens.

and then in 4x06...

it's actually so funny how she says that and then she's like 'oh no. that sounded like it implied something. i did not mean to imply.'

and bellamy's over here like 'omg she's implying.'

which leads to him literally about to confess. i'm sorry, but there is no other way to interpret....

and of course clarke interrupts, but this is the moment, you guys! this could have been the moment.

right after this, before roan's interruption, there's a pause, and then clarke kisses him. it's a quick one. the kind of kiss where she has both of her hands on his face and he's so stunned by it that his eyebrows raise in surprise and before he can even process that it's happened, she's pulled back and they're looking at each other, a bit in awe, both surprised that she just did that.

then in 4x09, we actually get to see the reunion!! and it's the running kind. just like 2x05. only this time, after they run to each other and hug, bellamy pulls back and takes her face in his hands to examine her for injuries, and once he realizes she's okay, probably after she reassures him and puts a hand on his face, then he kisses her, but they both go in for it (and i cry).

in 4x13, i would change the location of the head and heart scene. somewhere more private...a bedroom (!). so, after this moment:

and bellamy turns away, upset, clarke pulls him back to face her and takes his face in her hands. his eyes are watery. so are hers. she kisses him. one thing leads to another and we get the sex scene we deserved!! then they're lying in bed, cuddling. bellamy's head is on her chest and clarke's playing with his hair. that's when she decides to ruin the moment lmao and continues the head and heart convo with "we've been through a lot together, you and i." i can just see it so well. they would shift so that they're laying on their sides, facing one another. maybe clarke's fingers play with the hair at the nape of his neck now. when she says he has a big heart, her palm rests on his bare chest. when she says he has to use his head too, her fingers of her other hand shift from his neck to his temple. when bellamy says, "i've got you for that," clarke kisses him. their foreheads stay touching for a few breathes, then she pulls back to look at him and says that raven's premonition came true. like...am i crazy or would this have worked so well?? literally the same dialogue but...they're together.

(plus, this could have led to clarke raising bellamy's kid--august--along with madi over those six years they are separated, i'm just saying!)

maybe you still think that season 5 was the ultimate time for bellarke to go canon, and you know what? i honestly might just agree. the set up was there with clarke calling bellamy every day for 2,199 days. the potential was there. madi was the biggest bellarke shipper i swear. she wanted them to be together even more than all of us combined i think. for a bellarke kiss though, you would almost have to drastically change the course of events...unless you go with 5x13 and blecho have broken up earlier in the season. after clarke wakes bellamy from cryo (still crying about this moment, yeah!), i could see them having a moment.

before jordan walks in, maybe clarke helps bellamy out of the pod, and once they're both standing, bellamy would finally make his move. instead of bellamy asking why they're the only ones there, clarke does. bellamy tells her, "we'll figure it out, clarke, but first, i have something i wanna say." maybe he does something soft, like take her hand or brush her hair behind her ear. clarke is staring at him, not quite believing what is happening right now, but deep down, she knows. he tells her, "those six years without you were the worst of my life and i don't wanna waste any more time." clarke is wearing a watery smile, still not quite sure she believes what she's hearing. she tells him, "i radioed you every day you were gone." bellamy's whole face lights up and he tells her, "i know." their foreheads touch. both of his hands are cradling her cheeks, her hands are cradling his wrists. she whispers his name. it's the kind of kiss where the time before the kiss is excruciatingly long, but once they kiss, it becomes much more urgent as they finally give in to all of the feelings. god. would have been ICONIC.

plus, they both looked absolutely gorgeous in this scene. hello???

would have been one hell of an aesthetically pleasing first kiss holyyyy. then jordan interrupts and makes some comment about how his mom and dad were right all along :)

if not season 5 though...moving onto season 6. 6x10 to be exact. i know i've said that other times were the ultimate time for canon bellarke, but this episode is too! or right after it in 6x11. there are two scenarios that i see playing out here. (in both, blecho have broken up previously.)

in the first scenario, it's 6x10. as soon as bellamy saves clarke and she wakes up, instead of going in to hug him, i swear when i was watching it that i really thought she was going in for the kiss. that was the one and only time where i legitimately thought they were about to kiss while watching. it had never made more sense than in that moment. even with all of jroth's attempted brainwashing, my mind was stronger in that moment. it saw it coming. or at least i thought i did lmao. i know they didn't actually kiss.

but listen.

they really should have.

clarke is literally looking at him like this:

come on, man.

i usually say that bellamy should be the one initiating post s4, but in this moment, it would have been clarke.

and if not then, the other scenario is that they hug as usual. clarke gets some rest as usual. but when she wakes up in 6x11 and bellamy is at her side, they are in a separate private tent. they have that same conversation that they do. they argue about clarke risking her life again. but then...

he tells her, "hey, i just got you back." he says it firm but soft. i see bellamy initiating the kiss here, especially since he's almost lost her twice now, but once clarke realizes that this is really happening, that after all this time he wants her just as much as she wants him, she would for sure be the one initiating everything else. she would be sitting in his lap making out with him so fast jfsldkjfaslk and you know what? good for her!! they either just kiss a lot here, laying down on the bed, all tangled up together, and then they're interrupted, or maybe, just for once, they're allowed to be happy, uninterrupted, and they sleep together. either way. natural progression.

that's really the point of this longwinded post. so many times it could have happened. all of them a nature progression of the story that was being told.

then comes season 7...

there are no words.

6x13 left them off in a perfect place...

the set up was literally right there! they should have kissed in 7x01!! they should have lived happily ever after with madi in a seaside cabin situated in a field of gold!!

What ship is the art in your icon?

Well... what a good question, because there are two ways I can answer this.

Simple, quickest way to answer: they're just my OCs 😂

More complicated is… Do you know this CW show called The 100? They're two of its characters, Abby and Marcus. Or more like, their AU version of them.

So my friend @blizzaurus, who is just an absolutely amazing writer, created this whole AU for T100 with them as main characters and it’s set in the Regency era, just a wonderful romance story. A beautiful love letter to Jane Austen’s work. I can even link to it here - it is still ongoing.

Why do I call them my OCs? Because we think that the show is seriously so bad, and it’s horribly written, it disrespects the characters, it was just shit overall (I didn’t even manage to watch the whole thing, I was mostly skipping it for the best parts). So… at this point we just adopted them and treat them like our own characters, building their story from scratch which is completely detached from the show.

I did a lot of arts for them and the story too, few of them are posted under this tag

I should post more of it here too, but I am a bit lazy. 

There is a lil bit more on my Instagram or most of it on my Twitter, if you feel more interested.

And here is the full drawing from my icon

maybe it's time to post some nautical or summery vehicles around here?

the iconic Kraken, might be some of my fav real life monster truck out there… when originally debut in 2018, in its debut appearance, Kraken was just a painted over regular Cadillac Escalade, with base color of deep blue and some green tentacles paint over here and there… not until 2019 they added the 3D design that I really love to the monster truck, that is shown in the picture above… so might say the Kraken might be one of the best upgraded monster truck during its whole career

Terminator (1984)

Terminator (1984) 

The Terminator was directed by James Cameron and released in 1984. I am familiar with the sequels, so I was anxious to watch the first film all through. From the start I could tell this was a high budget. I think a film about robots should be. From the start of the movie the special effects are on full display. The costume and set designers did an excellent job. I really liked the scenes where they show the future war with robots because of how superbly detailed everything was. The music that plays throughout the film is quintessential 1980s. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the T100, and he is the antagonist of the film.  He is on a mission and was sent from the future to destroy the mother of a child who would grow up to defeat the robots. The protagonist of the film is Sara Connor, and she is the mother of the child that would help save the human race. The storyline is not fully described until late into the film. It is vague until about thirty- or forty-minutes in. There are extraordinarily little mentions of robots or a future war. Sara thinks there is a serial killer after women with her name and she begins to become weary of everything and everyone around her and that is when the plot begins to unfold. 

 Cameron was politically and socially free because there is swearing sex and plenty of violence throughout. I would not say that the film takes a specific political stance. It could be considered offensive for people that do not like violence or sexual behavior. The focus is on male heterosexuals and the film seems to give appealing to that demographic. One could say the police officer is the only token African American character with one of the lead Roles. Roles. This conventional Hollywood film with fast action scenes with intense shooting. There is an ominous scariness about Arnold’s character. He impressively stays cool and calm throughout the entire movie. It is interesting to see the types of technology used in the 1980s special effects were just getting incorporated in movies. CGI was used and it is obvious when it is. The movie slowed down about halfway, which gave them time to explain why Sara was being chased. The relationship between Sara and the soldier sent to protect her was perfect for this movie. They had great on-screen chemistry. Cameron did a wonderful job matching the music with fight scenes, it made it hard to look away. One of my favorite things in the film is the lack of dialogue from Arnold’s character. It made me more engaged because I was primarily focused on his physical actions. This was a great movie and it tied in the sequels that I had seen prior to this.  

The Terminator and Hard Boiled both have actors that play strong lead roles. Schwarzenegger plays an assassin sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor. Connor is determined to live and is in that way like the main Character of Hard Boiled, inspector Tequila. The style of the films is quite different. The Terminator is a dark and gritty film, there is lots of tension and suspense. The film’s action scenes are intense and violent. There is more of a focus on the Terminator’s unstoppable and relentless pursuit of Sarah. Hard Boiled, on the other hand, is more choreographed type of film. Action scenes are heavily choreographed with a focus on gunplay and explosions.  

The first image is of the movie poster. This is the classic image of Arnold that many remember when thinking of The Terminator. The next link is the Trailer to the film which. I chose the trailer because I felt like it captured the essence of the 1980s. The next video is of the Mac commercial from 1984. This Orwellian themed commercial was one of the most iconic commercials in American History. It helped sell millions of dollars' worth of Apple computers. It also aired during the Super Bowl which I found interesting. The second historical event that occurred in 1984 was the first untethered spacewalk performed by an astronaut.
