Just a reminder that this is actually canon by Kass Morgan, the author who invented Clarke and Bellamy in the first place.
This is the canon of all canons. Keep it in mind, forever.

I'm only one chapter into the first The 100 book and Clarke is already such a badass? Like?? She was put in a single cell after attacking a guard and she punched Dr. Lahirir in the face after he gave her the bracelet? What a queen

You know what I love about Clarke and Bellamy? Even when they hated each other, they still did what they could to make sure the other survived.
Then when they became best friends, they wouldn't let the other one make the tough decisions by themselves. Everything they did, they did together, so they could both take the blame.
Even though I'm still pissed that Bellarke wasn't endgame in the TV show, it's okay because they're still one of the greatest couples in literature, TV, and real life.
The Head and the Heart. Together.

I never got too deep into the tv series and honestly didn't even know it had a book adaptation but were there any big differences between them?
so many. to be fair to the show — with all the grace i'm willing to give jason rothenberg lmao — the show & the first book were developed at the same time from the same base concept kass had come up with for it.
that being said, here are some differences!
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe time between the nuclear apocalypse — called the cataclysm in the book — and the beginning of the story is 97 years in the show and 300 years in the books.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe ark is referred to as the colony, and consists of three major “ships” (phoenix, arcadia & walden), rather than the 12 or so stations (medical, earth monitoring, agro, alpha, arrow, factory, hydra, mecha, prison, tesla, flint & orchid) on the ark.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤin terms of comparability, phoenix & alpha seem to be the most “rich” of the stations / ships, and arcadia & walden being comparable to factory or mecha in terms of being the working class stations.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe colony itself has a far more in depth look into the classism on it’s ships, with phoenix being the “upper class” ship where people can have a better life through their status and wealth, vs arcadia & walden being more “working class” where people struggle to get by and a lot of the ships resources are not allocated properly. there is also a law divide between the ships, as those on walden or arcadia are not allowed to travel between the ships to phoenix without permission, and doing so could result in punishment.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤin the show, clarke & bellamy are the two main leads; in the books, there are four pov characters, with wells being one and another being glass sorenson, who isn’t in the show and doesn’t have any composite character there.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthere are no grounders in the books; instead the people found on the ground when the delinquents land are a rebellious offshoot of the main group known as the earthborn. however they are more equivalent to a “good” version of the mountain men; as their ancestors survived in the mountain bunker before leaving it 50 years before the books start. they are led by max walgrove.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤas such, there are no grounders from the shows in the books. other characters from the show’s main group that don’t exist in the books : raven reyes, finn collins, john murphy, marcus kane, monty green, jasper jordan, harper mcintyre, eric jackson, nathan miller, etc etc.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤlincoln also does not exist in the books but there is a character similar to him in concept — a person from earth falling in love with a sky person & being rebellious against their people — in max's daughter, sasha walgrove.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤraven reyes also has a character similar to her in luke, glass's boyfriend. both are engineers who struggle to keep their loved one alive & suffer a leg injury some time into the show / book.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤvarious name changes from show to book are: ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤaurora blake is melinda blake. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤabby griffin is mary griffin. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤjake griffin is david griffin.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe colony’s law follows the gaia doctrine, the ark follows the exodus charter.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe skyboxis referred to as confinement or the detention center.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthe nuclear apocalypse (praimfaya or apocalypse one) is referred to as the cataclysm or the exodus.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤthere’s no name for the tree in the show, but in the books, it’s referred to as the eden tree & it is set on fire by wells' in order to get himself sent down to earth.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤoctavia is 16 in the show & 14 in the books. bellamy is 23 in the show & 20 in the books.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤwhile clarke & bellamy are confirmed bisexual by the show & actors, it is unknown if kass intended for them to be bisexual in the books also. however, octavia is confirmed bisexual or mspec, as she has been shown to have crushes on wells & graham, & kissed a girl named anna.
SPOILER TERRITORY BELOW.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤbellamy is wells' half brother, with wells’ father, chancellor jaha, who had slept with melinda blake before getting into a relationship with wells’ mother. as there are no described races in the books, the ethnicities of the boys & their parents are unknown. this did not carry over into the show, as bellamy is played by the half filipino, half white actor bob morley, & wells is played by the black actor eli goree.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤbellamy & clarke are a confirmed couple in the books, having gotten engaged in the last book, rebellion.
ㅤㅤㅤ•ㅤmary & david griffin are revealed to be alive in homecoming, surviving unlike their counterparts in the show: jake (who died before the show started via being floated) & abby (who was murdered by russell lightbourne.)
this was a very long post & there are probably other differences but i'm in the process of rereading the books now so i'll reblog this with any others i find if i do!

WHY THE BOOKS ARE ALWAYS BETTER, AKA why writers should consider carefully before selling rights to their stories (AKA how Jason Rothenberg ruined the 100)
Sometimes I think about this, not particularly related to my beloved the 100, but to all fandoms that I love in general (The Hunger Games, the 100, Harry Potter, etc).
Why is the book always better?
Even those adaptations that do a good job are lukewarm at best when compared to the original masterpiece. Our favorite characters get washed out (Ginny Weasley, oh my soul 😭), blotted out altogether (Madge Undersee, looking at you!), killed off too soon (Wells Jaha, my sweet boy). WHY DO SCREENWRITERS MESS WITH THE STORY??
Bottom line, screenwriters are not the original writers. Which means they don't love these characters like the original writer does. So every decision they make (whether or not to include a scene, whether this or that character should make an appearance, etc) are made purely from the perspective of making a good movie/tv show that sells. Yes, they may still have that driving force of telling a good story, but ultimately they want the show to make money.
The writer makes his choices based on storytelling. If he includes a scene, or a character, or whatever, it is always because of storytelling. If he kills off a character it is because of storytelling not because he has a hidden agenda, a personal vendetta or is a plain jerk to his own fans.
Now on to The 100 controversy.
Kass Morgan wrote the books. The rights for the story to be adapted to a tv show were sold before the first book was even published. They had access to the first book manuscript, to base the storyline, but that was it. After that, the show was being produced at the same rate as the books, and they were free to take the plot wherever they wanted.
Jason Rothenberg was the show runner for The 100, and he did an amazing job on the first two seasons. Remarkably good, even though I missed some characters that didn't make the cut. But his storytelling was actually better than the first book and that is unheard of. It came to a point were the books became obscured by the tv show, and no one cared for the original plot. Halfway through it, he became insane. He started making decisions purely based off on shock value, or following trends for popular tv shows, with no regards whatsoever to the characters or whether or not that was fitting to their personal arc. He killed off at least three characters that I can think of, just because he had a peeve with the actors.
He became annoyed with the fandom because they were excited about a romantic relationship between the two leads of his show. A ship that was canon in the books, from book 1. A SHIP HE TOLD US WAS ENDGAME, because it was CANON. He specifically said it would be a slow burn, for us to take comfort reading the books and to wait because he would be making it worthwhile. Think of it like this: it's like you select a fanfic from AO3 that's tagged with your favorite OTP. You start reading it and it's good, there's a lot of hints to the romance building up, you're excited about how the story is going. 10 chapters of the story and nothing happens. 20 chapters, still nothing. 50 chapters and still nothing. The fandom became impatient with his back and forth with the two characters. He became annoyed that the fandom wanted him to do what happened in the book. So then he starts saying things like"What are you talking about? These characters have been platonic from the start! You're delusional!" (when we have screenshots form the actually scripts for their scenes and there's notes saying things like "A looks lovingly at B", or "B is jealous of A kissing that other person"). Then he goes on and sinks that ship. Irremediably. Unexplainably. Out of spite for the fans, for shipping and for the actors for supporting the ship.
While I do think the books aren't as good as the first two seasons of the show, I still prefer them to the whole tv show. Because its clear Kass cared for her characters and the story she was telling.
Spoilers ahead.

He actually makes Clarke kill Bellamy. Her soulmate. Her best friend. Her co leader. Like he wasn't happy with keeping them "platonic". No, let's just kill one of the characters so we can stop his whole shipping nonsense. Oh better yet, let's have the girl kill the boy.
And then he actually has the nerve to say that was the only possible solution because said actor asked for a bit of downtime, because said actors are married in real life and HAD A MISCARRIAGE WHILE FILMING HIS TV SHOW.
Still hate you Jason Rothenberg.
All the writers of the world: don't sell your story without reading the fine lines.

Passing moments (Bellamy Blake/Clarke Griffin)
summary: Octavia takes Bellamy on a horse ride to discuss his grief of Gina and his love for Clarke. Bellamy decides to seek Clarke out and find out what the two of them could be.
Wordcount: 900+
It ached. Bellamy noticed his chest ached for her. In the months he’d known Gina, he had fallen hard for her. And now she is gone. Bellamy didn’t know how to deal with this. He felt choked, like he couldn’t breathe. Tears right there at the back of his eyes, but they would not fall. The remembrance was months ago, but the pain was still there. 
Bellamy searched out his sister. Knowing she could possibly help him with his feelings. “Hey, O!” He said as he walked into the stables. A head popped up in a stall right by him. “Bellamy.” She said happily. “I’m glad to see you. You’ve been gone most of this week.” Octavia had walked over to him and given him a hug, hay pieces stuck in her hair. “What’s up, you look upset?” He shook his head. “Just thinking of Gina.” She gave him a soft smile. 
“You know, I don’t mean to be insensitive but I think you should get back in the saddle.” She walked one of the horses out of its stall. “Maybe literally.” “You want me to-” He motioned towards the horse. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I want you to do.” “No,” Bellamy started, “No way. Do you see how big this thing is?”  “This thing is a horse.” She stated matter of factly. “And I think if we take a ride, some of your problems might get solved.” He looked at Octavia incredulous. “Come on. Give it a shot.” Bellamy heaved a sigh. “Fine. Fine I’ll go with you.” He finally agreed. 
Octavia helped Bellamy up on a horse, Bellamy searched for balance, legs tightening around the horse's belly, hands strained on the reins, until he felt secure. Octavia jumped on her own horse, much more smoothly than Bellamy had. “Where are we going?” Bellamy asked curiously. “Nowhere in particular. We’re just taking the horses for a ride.” He nodded at that. 
“I thought you said I needed to get back in the saddle.” “You do. But I meant that you should start dating again.” “Oh.” Bellamy muttered. “I don’t know, O. I don’t think I’m over Gina yet.”  “You’ll never fully get over her. To you she’s the one that should have been, you didn’t have time where you fell out of love with her, she was ripped away from you. But if I know Gina, and I do, she would want you to move on.” “I don’t know. Who would I even date?” Octavia snorted. “You’re kidding, right?” Bellamy looked at her with a blank face. “Oh, you aren’t. Okay. Well, apparently you don’t know, but I’m a hundred percent sure that Clarke is head over heels for you.” 
“What do you mean?” “You are so dense sometimes.” Octavia shook her head. “Have you really not noticed that whenever Clarke looks at you, she stares in your eyes just a while longer, pretty sure she thinks the earth might explode if she doesn’t.” “Really?” Bellamy asks shyly. “She radioed you every day for six years. You, not Raven, not Monty, you!” “I mean, I like Clarke.” Bellamy stated. “A lot. I don’t want to see her go on missions without me, I’ll do anything to protect her. I can’t make a big decision without involving her in it.” Octavia’s eyebrows rose up. “What?” Bellamy asked. “I’m pretty sure you know what you should do.” 
Bellamy nodded slowly. “Maybe you’re right. Can we turn back now? My ass is killing me.” Octavia laughed. “Sure, as long as you go talk to Clarke when we get back.” 
Bellamy couldn’t get off the horse fast enough once they reached the stables. “I will never get on one of those again.” “Yeah, yeah. Go find Clarke.” 
And that’s what he did. He searched inside the Ark, in her tent, around the mechanical shop. He thought she might be there, because she would hang out with Raven when she didn’t have to worry about the grounders. Or even when she did. “Hey Raven, have you seen Clarke?” Bellamy asked as she came into view. Behind her Murphy followed her with scrap parts for the jeeps. “Uh, not since this morning, no.” Bellamy turned to Murphy. “Don’t ask me, I’ve been hauling parts around here, I haven’t even gone outside today yet.” “You’re no use.” Bellamy said, playfully slapping the back of his head. “Hey, watch it. If I drop these Raven’s going to kill me.” 
He finally found her just outside the gate, using binoculars to scoop out the tree line. “Hey.” Bellamy bumped their shoulders together. Now his nerves settled in. Night had fallen and a shiver ran down Clarke’s spine. She laid her head down on Bellamy's shoulder. Searching for a little bit of warmth. “I could stay like this forever.” She murmured. Bellamy’s heart fluttered. “Clarke,” He started, his hand taking a hold of hers, rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand. “I’ve been struggling with Gina’s death lately.” “Of course you are. She was your girlfriend and she was ripped away from you.” “Yeah, but my mind keeps going back to you. To everything we’ve done together or for each other. You know, it’s you, “ He swallowed thickly. “It’s always been you.” 
Clarke lifted her head from his shoulder and grabbed his cheeks, pulling him in for a kiss. It was slow at first, but got more heated with every passing second. Bellamy grasped at her hips, his mouth hungry for hers. He pushed her up against the outer fence of Arkadia. The fence bounced back and made both of them laugh against each other's lips. “What do you say if we continue this in my tent?” Clarke breathed. Bellamy grabbed her hand and pulled her into Arkadia in search of her tent.

Bellamy leaned backed with a sigh and closed his eyes, wondering how long it would take until she stopped being the last person he thought about before he fell asleep.
