And you know what's most heartbreaking now? That I can't decide if its worse that Bellamy died like that or that they made Clarke do it.

Does it matter if he’s dead or not?

What a sh*tshow of an episode. And of a season, quite frankly. You know a show has royally screwed up when you feel next to nothing when one of the lead characters dies. I didn’t shed a tear, I didn’t even choke up. Because the Bellamy Blake that they killed off was not the Bellamy Blake that I’ve loved over the past 6 years. The Bellamy that Clarke killed was not the Bellamy who she loved either. 

Here’s the deal - as a writer, your job is to make your readers/viewers connect emotionally with your characters. It doesn’t matter how many cliffhangers you have, how many special effects, how edgy your science fiction is - you have FAILED as a writer if you do not create and then acknowledge the connection your audience has with your characters. Bellamy Blake was the male lead of this show. The audience connected with him over the past 7 seasons, and he was greatly beloved. He was canonically defined as the heart of the show. And yet you have him be killed by the person closest to him, and you leave him to die with NO ONE who cares about him or even knows him to mourn him, and you don’t give your audience time to grieve his death?? That’s just shitty writing.

Not to mention that there is a SEVERE lack of continuity in the writing between seasons 6 and 7. Clarke said she would never forget that Bellamy was her family as much as Madi was.  At the end of season 6, Bellamy literally brought Clarke back from the dead. Their trust and love had been rebuilt. There is NO WAY that trust gets destroyed again so easily, after they’ve been around each other for what, mere hours? It’s a slap in the face to all of the writing that has come before that had built their trust and relationship to the level that they were.

There’s always the possibility that Bellamy isn’t actually dead. But does it matter? JRoth clearly placed shock value over honoring his audience’s emotional connection to the story. And the fact that they had Clarke be the one to shoot Bellamy has put the proverbial nail in the coffin of their relationship. How do you redeem Clarke in the last three episodes? How do you redeem Disciple Blake? How do you make the audience even care about what happens to them anymore after you’ve disconnected them from the characters they fell in love with over these years?

Perhaps the only way JRoth can salvage this is if he makes it so that Bellamy and Clarke planned all of this together, to make Cadogan fully believe that Bellamy is on his side. It would explain why Clarke left the notebook after supposedly being willing to kill her best friend for it. Or if Clarke has been in a simulation since the point Bellamy reappeared from Etherea, only for her to wake up in the second to last episode. After all, Clarke and Octavia are supposedly running a rescue mission in the second to last episode, and it would have seemed obvious that the person they’d be rescuing would be Bellamy. But who knows at this point anymore? 

I’m not sure I’m going to watch the last few episodes live. I may wait to see what happens and then decide whether to watch them or not. I’m sure as hell not watching JRoth’s prequel. This man clearly doesn’t respect the emotional connection that his audience has to his characters. Thank goodness I bought the books as a failsafe in case the show didn’t end the way I had hoped - I look forward to reading them instead. And fanfic, of course.

The thing that makes me almost more angry than anything is the fact that SHE DIDNT HAVE TO KILL HIM?!? She literally just had to incapacitate him somehow, make him drop the book, shoot his hand literally ANYTHING ELSE but we’re supposed to believe that Clarke Griffin willingly full ass shot Bellamy Blake in the heart to make sure he died. AND THEN SHE JUST LEFT THE BOOK SHE SHOT HIM OVER. Ok.

when will writers learn that doing things for shock value will NEVER be a satisfying ending? we’d rather have a logical ending than some half-assed, nonsensical conclusion that makes us go “what the fuck just happened?” i’d rather think “oh I saw this coming but it makes SO much sense” than “why did I waste my valuable time on this clusterfuck of a mess”

[okay-princess-what-now]

what’s the point of making your fictional fucking show as shitty as real life?

the point of fiction, to me at least, is to find a place where we can escape. where our leads save the day or maybe even die, but a heroic death that makes sense to their character arc.

it’s nauseating to fuck over your entire fanbase for “””shock””” value that was actually so incredibly shitty and horrible to watch.

im here to talk of anyone needs anything, im sorry we had to go through this🥺💞

alsO I’M NOT FUCKING DONE........ the fact that Bellamy Blake fucking died as a member of a cult!!! Bellamy? Hello??? And he was shot by his best friend in the world in a wildly out of character scene???? Jason Rothenberg could have spit in my face and it wouldn’t have felt this disrespecting

I decided to check twitter, because in my gut I knew.

I’m heartbroken, I’m furious, I’m incredibly annoyed. 

If he had decided that he didn’t want bellarke to happen, fine. But for the male fucking lead of the show, one of the most beloved characters, to be treated in such a way this season and get a meaningless ending?

I’m not watching that episode, I’m done with this series. I’ll live with the wonderful fanfics and art that this amazing, and beautiful fandom created.

I’m so sorry everyone.

If Bellamy Blake is dead, then what has then this all been about?!

Imagine Bellarke being given to a good show runner.

Imagine.

They deserved so much better.

What a waste, man.

JRoth really told 2020 "hold my beer" I guess.

#fr though #what a shitty year #fuck jroth #fuck 2020 #the 100

[okay-princess-what-now]

even if this isn’t real (which seems unlikely based on jroths tweet) I’m still not going to finish this show. The obscene disrespect from J*son has confirmed that I will never contribute one dollar to him ever again

#the 100

[okay-princess-what-now]

But what the hell happened between Bob and dick face jroth for him to do one of his main characters this way?

Either some shit went down and Jason decided to be a petty asshole, or he just doesn’t give a shit about his actors and fans and decided to screw us all over for shock value and what he thinks is good writing.

What a complete disservice to not only a beloved character, but to the actor that played him.

One thing is for sure....I will never again watch a show that Jason Rothenberg has anything to do with. And I feel for those that have to deal with him in the future.

[okay-princess-what-now]

Even if by some crazy written miracle Bellamy actually survives, it doesn’t even matter because Clarke still would have shot him.

You can’t come back from that.

Fuck you, Jason.
