I cannot believe in the year of your lord 2023 you mention jason r*********. as far as i'm concerned that man fell down a sinkhole in 2016 and hasn't been heard from since. seriously what else has he even done? he genuinely had a golden goose and decided to pluck and taxidermy it while it was halfway through laying an egg.

halfway to laying an egg jfksjdksjfksd i mean we told him we'd make sure he never worked again and we meant it 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I like how they strategically position Lexa in the shots to seem like she's this tall, imposing figure and not the smol girl that is Alycia in real life

I think part of that was the way they shot it, but also a huge part of it was just the way Alycia played the role. She is a tiny nugget of a person irl but she's also someone who puts so much gravitational weight into her performances, and that was especially true with Lexa. She made Lexa into this larger than life figure. She entirely became The Commander of The Blood, the leader of 12 clans, the commander of an entire army, and a fierce warrior herself, all while still threading the performance with these nuances of endearing and relatable tones that shined through Lexa's vulnerabilities. She really managed to play her as both an almost god-like figure and just a girl who had the weight of the world on her shoulders. So yeah, while in some places the way they shot it helped, I think a big part of all that was just the energy Alycia brought to the character. She really put her entire pussy into playing that cute little warlord 🥰

Since we see Clarke fight unarmed quite a few times and she's just a straight up brawler, with slugging punches and rough yet Strong As Heck grapples (which is very sexy for her), I do love the thought of Lexa being just...the absolute opposite; all grace and agility and being a ninja.

It's about the Contrast.

Exactly exactly!!

Clarke is all brute force, she was never taught how to fight so she goes with instinct: fists. She's clearly strong, maybe not warrior strong but she is still rather strong without weapons.

Lexa was trained to fight one on one. She was never trained to be a mere warrior, she was never going to fight an army or be at the front lines, she's a commander. Her fighting style is clearly for the arena, with other nightbloods, for being challenged to a one on one or defend herself (in the city of lights she fights multiple people but non are armed and she is and even there you can se the agility and elegance in which she does it, its swift quick moves).

And i do love the contrast yes!!! Because i think even if Clarke was to receive formal training she would never be the type to have the agility and technique Lexa has and jn an one on one would probably prefer her fists.

Lexa is a fence fighter, almost a ballet dancer, she knows to tire her enemy first and then attack.

Clarke is a street fighter, throwing punches blindly hoping she'll knock her opponent out before they even get a chance to throw a punch in back.

I mean, if they were to fight without weapons i dont doubt Lexa would win but i do think Lexa would leave the fight with at least a black eye and a broken nose, because if there's one thing Clarke wont do is go down easy.

#letter opened #primalinfinity #Lexas fighting style was never made for the battle grounds #shes the commander why would she ever be on the battlefield its a sure way to lose a commander #and no matter how much jrot tried to make grounders seem like they have no concept of how to keep a bloodline alive #i refuse to believe theyd be stupid enough to let lexa fight front line #because Lexas position is not equal to a knight #shes the queen #clarke is much closer to knighthood #im rambling 😅 #but 100% agree with you!!!

A Sequence Analysis of the 6x13 Bellarke Reunion

[a.k.a. the final scene of The 100 because Jroth can Jrot in hell]

After a grim conversation between Bellamy and Jordan, the sequence transitions to a warmly lit, wide angle perspective of the reunion at Sanctum. Friends and lovers “meet again,” hugging, kissing, reconciling in a series of action shots: Miller & Jackson, Murphy/Emori & Raven, Jackson & Echo. The sound of their laughter cuts through the uplifting strains of the melody playing [GAITS “Other Side”]. Against the show’s constant onslaught of death and destruction, the beauty in these brief flashes of joy isn’t lost on us; it’s fleeting, but it’s potent. We’re back at the gates of Arkadia in 2x16, only this time around, prospects for the future aren’t quite so bleak, nor is it “getting dark, too dark to see” beneath “that cold black cloud [coming] around” [RAIGN “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”].

Instead, the refrain “I know I’ll see you on the other side” embodies a sense of hope and certainty while also referencing Jasper’s parting words in S4. Unlike his nihilistic outlook, however, the soft, inviting quality of these opening shots seems to suggest that there’s light at the end of the tunnel—a glimpse at the other side of heaven’s door, where peace prevails and war is a distant memory.

As this undertone of cautious optimism resonates, the frame is swallowed up by a dark mass of faceless bodies. The music slows, the crowd parts, and exposed in the center of the frame is Clarke Griffin—a solitary, motionless figure within a stream of movement. Her silent presence isolates her from the liveliness of her surroundings. From the side angle of the camera in the shadowy foreground only her profile is visible, yet the expression on her face is noticeably stunned. We’re left with a sense of anticipation. Where is her gaze focused? What commands her attention so fiercely, stopping her in her tracks and arresting her movements? The anticipation builds, and, with it, the percussive intensity of the music. Soft vocalizations trail after “the other side,” echoing in our ears as we --

Cut to a reverse shot of Bellamy. He makes his way to his people, but it’s clear that the words exchanged with a disillusioned Jordan weigh on him. His eyes are fixed on the ground, brows furrowed, a pensive expression reflecting his weary frame of mind. It’s the aftermath of yet another battle, another spoke on a wheel that spins and spins, unleashing more devastation with each turn. We, as the audience, can only hope that this is the end of its vicious cycle. He’s lost in thought, but a glance ahead has his eyes snagging on something out of shot. No, someone. Bellamy’s steps falter for a beat, then his eyes widen a fraction. He’s mesmerized.

On the receiving end of his gaze, Clarke sharply exhales. The steady pulsing of the music stutters before the rhythm picks up in rapid sixteenth notes, akin to a heartbeat that skips, flutters, then pounds. Energy thrums in the single look that they share; everything else seems to melt away as they fixate on each other, as the tether that binds them together tugs, as the distance between twin souls is bridged.

We’re hit with the crescendo of the music, punctuated by the sustained beat of the drums. It’s booming. A fluid tracking shot follows Clarke as she launches herself away from the crowd into Bellamy’s open arms, and the force of their collision is shown through their synchronized exhalations of breath, through the swaying movement of their bodies pressed tightly together. Like cymbals crashing, they meet in the middle of the frame. The blocking instantly establishes a bubble of intimacy around them that blocks out the rest of the world as they completely obscure the figures (“girlfriend”) in the background. Refracted light slices across the screen at an angle, tracing the points of contact between these two people who radiate warmth and ignite under a single touch.

The music swells. Their embrace is set to the bridge “oh wait for me in fields of gold,” and as they hold each other, lost to a symphony of grief and elation, we get the sense that in each other’s arms these two broken beings are very much found. It’s a homecoming.

Clarke burrows her face into Bellamy’s neck. The sun beaming in the background sends scattered light over his shoulder, captured as flare in the camera lens. Not only does this element add a layer of visual impact and aesthetic beauty to the shot, but it also intensifies the climactic moment when their bodies collide. Tension is built and built until it finally snaps; in doing so, emotional catharsis (for both the characters and for the audience) is maximized. The combination of the lens flare and camera movements makes for a striking, visually dynamic shot with epic romantic overtones. In their reunion a sense of rightness is restored, which has remained a consistent theme of the show for six seasons. When the camera finally settles, what’s captured is the sheer magnetism of the moment. Nearby murmured conversations are unable to overtake the melody, and the bustling movements of the crowd are unable to break that hypnotic hold they have on each other.

Clarke clings to Bellamy; now, more than ever, it’s evident that her love for him is a refuge, her strength in times of weakness. Even so, sorrow threatens to overtake the solace found in his embrace; Bellamy immediately senses this, rubs a soothing pattern across her back. With brows drawn, he nestles his face against her shoulder as if to will her pain away.

We cut to a dynamic two shot, with Bellamy occupying the left side of the frame and Clarke the right. Both seem reluctant to part, and as they do, harsh realities set in. Bellamy delivers the sobering line, “I heard about Abby.” Like a death knell, its implications land on Clarke and reverberate through this gentle, short-lived moment of peace. Her face crumples. With a despondent shake of her head, she manages, “I tried to do better. I did.” Bellamy can only nod. His strained expression conveys how the mere sight of Clarke’s pain is excruciating to him. A sharp intake of breath from her—“And then I lost my mom.” The tremor in her voice betrays her composure; the words catch in her throat, imparting a strangled quality to the line.

Her mother’s death clings to her. It’s reflected in her head-to-toe black attire, in the misery painted on her face. The weight of impossible decisions looms (how tragic that her mother’s endangerment was what drove her to pull the lever back in Mount Weather), and it seems that, this time around, the burden is too heavy to carry alone. “Tell me it was worth it,” she pleads to Bellamy, barely choking the words out as she battles tears. “Tell—tell me it was worth it.” In deep anguish Bellamy watches Clarke unravel before his eyes. With gentle words he tries to piece her back together. “Hey—Hey, we did. We did do better.”

This entire verbal exchange is filmed as a continuous arc shot that swings back and forth on an axis (Bellamy -> Clarke / Clarke -> Bellamy) with the sun acting as the focal point between them. The shot—much like their soul-deep connection—remains unbroken and uninterrupted. Rather than keeping a fixed, static position, the camera’s movements allow us to feel the push-pull emotional tension of the scene. It orbits Bellamy and Clarke in a way that cinematically mirrors the gravitational pull they feel towards each other. For years and years, the two have danced around each other. Though distance and time separated them, they’ve always been inextricably tied together in common orbit. Like binary stars, Bellamy and Clarke orient themselves around a shared barycenter. Their center of gravity—the sun flaring at the center of the frame—coincides with the show’s key thematic elements: forgiveness, rebirth, redemption. The rising of the sun marks the start of a new day and, with it, another chance to do better.

With each dizzying motion of the camera, flashes of light shine between their silhouettes, obscured only to re-emerge seconds later as lens flare; The sequence, as a whole, is a study in subtle contrasts: the contrast between the white sun in the background, the light glinting off the water, the pale gold of the sky + of Clarke’s hair vs Bellamy and Clarke’s shadowy figures captured in low-exposure, the darkness of their clothing, Bellamy’s black hair. This balance of light and shadows/brightness and darkness mirrors the tenuous balance between hope and despair driving the scene. In parallel, the despair that consumes Clarke is a darkness balanced out by Bellamy, who maintains a more optimistic outlook for the future and serves as her guiding light.

[Additional Note: These cinematic contrasts are also a perfect illustration of the concept of yin and yang—the cosmic duality that reflects Bellamy and Clarke’s “head and heart” relationship. The two are equal, seemingly opposing forces but, in actuality, function in such a way that enforces their complementary and interdependent nature: One cannot exist without the other, and both are connected as two halves of a whole in perfect equilibrium. Yin and yang—the head and the heart—do not act as isolated parts, but rather continuously influence and interact with each other to bring forth balance and harmony.]

Hope.

In spite of everything, it shows its presence in the vibrant yellow tones of a scene filmed at golden hour; the honeyed glow creates a dreamy, inviting atmosphere, giving off a quality of softness and romanticism that balances out the heaviness of their conversation. Hope echoes in the melody as it conveys the inevitability of reuniting with a loved one in this life or the next: “It’s not the end. It’s all I know…I know I’ll see you, I know I’ll see you on the other side.” (In other words, we will meet again). Hope is felt through the warmth of two lovers embracing, the warmth of the rising sun on their faces.

As we cut to a final close-up shot of Bellamy, he delivers the last line of the scene with resolve: “I have to believe that that matters,” he murmurs softly, brows knit in concern. His eyes search Clarke’s, but her teary gaze is cast low as she chokes down a sob. Her close-up shot captures the internal conflict taking place:

 It’s a mental battle—grappling with the urge to fall apart or to suppress the vortex of raw emotion churning inside her. Bleary-eyed, she turns away from Bellamy as if every instinct screams at her to flee, to bear the burden alone. Still, an unspoken conversation anchors her to the spot: “Together.” “I got you for that.” “I need you.” “If I’m on that list, you’re on that list.” “The heart and the head.” “You don’t have to do this alone.” Though devastation lines her face, the morning sunrise bathes her skin in light. Clarke draws a shaky breath. She turns back to Bellamy, then nods: a decision has been made. The camera switches from this close-up of Clarke to a hazy, low exposure medium shot as she leans into Bellamy, drawing strength from him (notice its resemblance to Miller and Jackson’s reunion). They wrap their arms around each other, and their bodies meld together. Clarke tucks her chin onto Bellamy’s shoulder. The immediate relief that she’s flooded with is palpable. She closes her eyes and sighs, and Bellamy rubs her back consolingly. The visual of their merging silhouettes—reminiscent of two suns eclipsing just above the horizon line—composes the final frame of the scene before the shot dissolves with a last “I know I’ll see you on the other side.”

There’s a true sense of finality to this closing shot which sets it apart from others before it—or, rather, establishes it as a culmination of every moment in Bellamy and Clarke’s “exhausting” history to get to this state of perfect alignment. The hug, in particular, serves as a departure from previous seasons’ hug scenes in which an interruption was often required to progress the conflict and reestablish some semblance of distance between the two of them.

In this season, however, though death and distance and other outside forces conspired to separate Bellamy and Clarke...they, against all odds, end it with bodies intertwined, defenses stripped away, never more unified both physically and emotionally: the heart and the head joined together in perfect equilibrium. Two bodies, two souls breathing, moving, thinking, and working as one.

When did we collectively decide that costia was a poc. Did one persons headcanon practically become canon or was it confirmed by the 100 writers?

Idk man when the hell did we decide Lexa's au name was Alexandria Woods 🥴 there's SO much of the Clexa fandom basics that actually route back to a collective fandom agreement that canon was a blueprint and we were gonna fill in the rest. Then tumblr unconsciously took a silent a vote that no one really discussed and the motions were passed🤷‍♀️

#anon #actually iirc someone did ask jrot and he named some white actress that I'd never heard of and sure as shit could never have seen as Costia #but he never confirmed an exact actress just someone he may have had in mind #which.... we don't pay attention Jason so who cares

this should go on my other blog but i’m lazy & seeing just t100 cast in conageddon completely drag jrot for the last season & his treatment of them throughout the show, especially bob & eliza, is so validating

Do you think writers are gonna abandon Jiara like JRot did with Bellarke in The 100? Those couples have the same vibe for me, so I'm really scared that the resolution will be the same for both of them - one of the mains dying

i actually don't get the vibe of bellark in jiara, sorry bestie. i think of jiara as some kind of stydia. i don't know, just stydia is an example of slowburn for me. i think that the issue with the hundred creaters, jason in particular, was that he was doing the show for himself, not fans. it's like he created this world in his mind and he didn't want to step away of his initial vision. with obx, pates are okay with following fans desires, cause they realise that without the show cannot exist without fans. pokie was their initial plan, so when the fans were not following it, they change the direction. and it's pretty cool, i love them for that. as for one of the characters dying. well, i think it depends on many factors. in the hundred bob had some mental health problems and he asked to step away for some time. i fear that the same thing can happen with rudy because of the hate he is dealing with right now, but it's things that we can't control. as for now, obx is pretty direct in saying that the pogues dynamic is here to stay, so i don't think that they will do with killing one of the pogues. obx has much lighter narration than the hundred, so i am not worried for now. i think that jj and kie are pretty secure now. even netflix promotes the hell out of jiara, so i don't think that we need to worry about them now.

it’s so funny to me how they’re like “your show got cancelled you wasting money on billboards and trending shit isn’t gonna change that”. ok then why are y’all doing the exact same thing? gays are so weird and petty when it comes to shows like there’s not enough content for y’all to be this cunty.

I don’t wanna hurt their feelings but TW has a far better chance of being picked up and renewed than FK because TW was actually good 🫢

#it’s kinda interesting that people think billboards and stuff do nothing because like did y’all not live through the post 307 clexa days??? #billboards/trending online/getting articles written about the situation drew so much attention to what was going on that we got shows to #sign stuff saying they wouldn’t use the bury your gays trope and now you can’t even talk about gay shows without clexa/Lexa being brought up #and we like permanently tainted the cw/the flop/jrot’s repuatation by making it like impossible for them to separate themselves #from their horrible treatment of lgbt (specifically lesbian) characters 🫶🏻 #ask #no one thinks throwing up one billboard is the key to solving the issue but it’s one piece of a larger puzzle and could be beneficial in the #long run because it grabs peoples attention and that’s what you want

[lightcomingthroughthedarkness]

Do you see where Jason was busted lurking on IG during Bob's panel and Elizas face when she was told about it during her panel with Thomas was priceless. Jrot is a stalker freak.

Hasn't that man done enough damage. 😒

[lexa-griffins]

thanks loads for the quick response, you were so lovely!! 🌸 as i said i’m just starting to educate myself so i don’t want to get things wrong or support someone who doesn’t deserve it. for example, Eliza.. like im still confused about this other topic bc i’m not interested enough, my heart already belongs to Alycia and i mean Alycia only, so… that’s what i’m focusing on. okay so basically that’s what i thought, the “could’ve handled it better” was about her not actually handling it at all, in a way, which i like to believe has nothing to do with her “hating” lexa (it’s something i keep reading online and idk where it comes from) or her fans. Bad advices and likely her trying to save Jason’s a** lead her to shut the discourse. but if this makes sense for the first weeks/months following lexa’s death, what i don’t understand is why she did seem annoyed when fans brought up lexa to conventions etc. but if she hated the fans and/or lexa, i can’t possibly believe she would’ve ever accepted to come back to the show for the finale. she came back bc she cared (about lexa, i mean SHE played her for gods sake, it must be hella important for her as well!!) and knew it was important for the fans, i guess. I’m almost scared to talk about this as i know Eliza’s fans are mad about it and especially Eliza/b0b supporters (i’ve seen enough on Twitter dear lord) but if what some people say is true, that he asked Jason to fire her bc he was jealous of her success, then maybe HIM being fired was also one of the reasons she willingly came back? like don’t get me wrong, i’m sure a big fat paycheck played a huge part too 😅 but trying to add more pieces to the puzzle here, as i really know like 40% of what happened behind the scenes with Jason and all when lexa was killed off, so again, i’m sorry if this always ends up being super long but i’m trying to do my homework here 📋🖊️ (and you genuinely are super kind btw which i’m super grateful for 😭)

I have never opened my mouth about the E and B topic because I am not about to open that can of worms or invite their fans to fight me here. I was a huge E fan and just a week before all the shit came out i was talking to a friend about how i wish clarke and her got the same love Lexa and Alycia do... that came back to bite me in the ass real quick 😅 you guys know how much i love Clarke but damn was it impossible for a bit there for me to be able to watch clexa and clarke scenes again and be able to seperate e from Clarke. We clearly got there tho 😌

In a way, I can understand why she was a little annoyed at cons. Alycia never went to a con with the main intent of talking about Lexa, she was on FTWD, she was probably very excited about it and was sent there to talk about it and yet every question she got was about a character that st that point she had not played in maybe a year if you account for the time between filming and the episodes coming out. And its probably nerve wracking to have a room full of people who care so deeply for a character and that are part of a community that is marginalized and her having to say the right thing. Not to meantion like most actors sometimes the line betwwen Lexa the character and Alycia the actor got a little blurred and i get the sense Alycia is the type of actor who wants a clear separation between herself and the character. Maybe wrongly so she tried to distance herself from Lexa not because she hates the fans but because it was what she and others around her felt was right for her career having just started on a new show.

We know B was most likely fired but I doubt that he was the reason why Alycia left. I truly think Jrot believe he was doing something with Lexa's death and that he was telling a epic story, i really think any other story of B wanting her gone and what is now know its false about her not being able to do both shows (AMC was ready to let her continue on the show, i wish i could link you a source to this) - making Alycia agreeing with Jason probably just PR trying to not cause a drift. Alycia (and Jason) kind of alluded to the fact that there had been chances for Lexa to come back before but that Alycia didn't feel comfortable with it and I do think that shows that she respected the fans and didn't want to be used as a prop to make fans to watch the show again. Her being in the finale was a surprise (well, not to me and many others because it felt like there had been hints being dropped for a good while). While i dont doubt the nice pay check wasnt an incentive Alycias entire message for the shows finale felt very sincere to me and very clearly dedicated to the fans. Blorke/B/E fans (well, B fans, lets be real here they only care for her because shes with him, they used to call her names before that) think that just because Alycia is both rather private and doesnt try to take fans money left and right that she hates her fans and hates Lexa. I just think that Alycia didnt really speak up when it was the time for it for whatever reason - i dont think it was out of malicious intent but i do think she should have said more - and talking about it now would just come across as trying to stir something up unless it was directly asked of her to talk about it. Id like to think she has proven herself an ally and a decent person where i dont think she has to talk about Lexa for me to consider her "forgiven" for not speaking up back then.

No need to say sorry, i totally get trying to understand what the fuck happened in this fandom of ours 😅 i just hope im saying things accurately because i have been here since mid 2015 so some things really get blurry around the edges. There used to be master posts or something im sure that explained things because this was a whole thing that last through most of 2016.

☺️ i might not remember or know how to answer everything but if you have any more questions about the fandoms history and if i can help and respond, feel free to ask me! :)

RECENT READ : lol i honestly can't remember. lately i've been reading more articles and non-ficiton journals. still working away at the iron druid chronicles, just haven't been able to read as much as i want to at the moment.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION : as much as i rag on the show and jrot's incompetence, i do reference the source material here and there to ensure i'm being consistent with lexa's character at her core. however, i do take a good number of liberties as my portrayal of her is canon divergent.

believe it or not, when heavy metal bands aren't using gory or misogynistic lyrics (y'all know how you are), they can get introspective and quite poetic, often singing about nature or the human conflict. any other metal heads can probably recognize where a lot of my tags come from since i'm often inspired by bands like after the burial, periphery, and bury tomorrow. i also like listening to groups like heilung and wardrunna when writing since their music is an interpretation of nomadic, warrior society culture from centuries ago.

STORY BEHIND URL : graunblida is a combination of two trigedasleng words (earthborn language on the 100) graun meaning 'earth' and blida meaning 'blood.' put them together and you get 'earthblood.'

lexa is a natblida (has black blood) and while that is an important part of her character, there is much more to her than the role she has been given in their society. she comes from the clan trikru which means 'tree people,' so the woods, nature and the earth are themes i like to incorporate heavily with her.
