Femslash Friday: Couples That Never Were But Should Have Been Vol. 4
Mother Sappho can sure be cruel.
In the tv series The 100, we have a lady-lovin’ side character with an interesting background who is criminally underdeveloped and killed off too soon.
Tumblr media
With the limited time we are graced with her presence, this side character is somewhat reduced to the role of the evasive love interest of a protagonist who spent half of their initial time together grieving her dead boyfriend. A dead boyfriend, mind you, who was gruesomely deaded on the lezzie side character's orders! I mean, Holy Jacob Black, does it get any worse than that?
Yes.
To top it all off, the attempted romance ends cheaply tragically before it even truly kicked off, casting this shadow of shallow placation over the whole tchotchke affair.
Tumblr media
*begrudged index finger clap for on-screen same-sex love tho*
And then… *lights cigarette pinched between teeth*
Then there’s the staple character with several seasons’ worth of engaging, divisive, heart wrenching internal and interpersonal development, who is as intolerably sexy as she is strong, caring, and deeply flawed. The sugar, spice, and everything damaged that draws this angst-addicted, lovelorn moth (me, hullo) to the flames of everlasting love.
And this character, of course, is straight. No bi-no buts-no bends straight.
Tumblr media
Octavia Blake, played by the magnetic Brunette Goddess Marie Avgeropoulos, is the sapphic sister we deserved but never had a chance in hell of getting.
She was a phantom on The Ark (illegal child hidden under the floor never to be seen or acknowledged by the world in which she lived), turned ace survivor in the new world, turned assassin, turned trauma-plagued warrior queen, and I lived for every gutting second.
She loved Lincoln with such fiery depth that her heart sank into some dark waters when he was torn from her. She never lost it completely (her heart), but trying times, like the increasingly intense circumstances of everyone's survival, didn't help her recover it any faster.
Tumblr media
But new love could have. New love with someone worthy of it as a person and deserving of a greater story as a character.
Tumblr media
The only thing that would’ve salvaged The 100 as a whole, to my viewing pleasure, was a slowbloom-to-true love romance between Octavia as Blodreina, the tormented Dark Queen of Wonkru, and her Right Hand Healer - the only woman who was still willing and able to see the heart of a tortured hero behind her blood-stained crown.
Tumblr media
The potential of a perfectly squeetastic a.k.a. overtly romantic relationship between Octavia and Niylah sat in the room like an elephant in a tutu every time they were on screen together.
We’ve got Protector x Nurturer roles, Seme x Uke dynamics, reasoned heart-wrenching angst, and earned trust. Throw in some hurt/comfort scenarios with a little mortal danger or sexual intimidation directed at Niylah by the enemy, and Octavia losing her shit on the asshole who dared threaten/hurt her lover, and I would’ve given up all my earthly possessions to board this ship.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If Niylah had become Octavia’s second chance at true love in a hopeless place, I would be singing The 100’s praises ‘til the end of time as having one of the best sapphic love stories to grace the small screen. But she didn’t. Because she couldn’t. So, I don’t. But I can dream.

Aren't Niytavia the sweetest?! 🥺🥰💖
Sweet Creature
ship: niytavia writer: @osleyakomwonkru
They've been in the bunker for less than a year, and Octavia and Niylah's first Valentine's Day is approaching. Niylah knows that Octavia's stressed with all of her responsibilities, and conspires with Miller and Jackson to put together a special stress-free spa day for Octavia.

Unpopular opinion ?
As much as I like all the recent Octavia ships and would be happy with any of them becoming canon, there is only one that truly owns my heart.
And that one is Niytavia (Niylah and Octavia).
They have a lot of history and it is clear that they deeply care about each other. Every moment they got on screen together is charged with a story we weren't shown. They had great chemestry at the beginning of the bunker years and after that Niylah has supported her the best she could given the situation. She has respected Octavia, even when she may have not agreed with what she did and didn't stop after they got out of the bunker.
I mean there is not 1 character that was close to Octavia that was that caring with her after all the hell she had been through. Not Bellamy, not Indra, not Miller. And I get why they weren't, but still I think it is remarkable.
And we know all of this from the small crumbs we were shown. Can you imagine how much more there is ???
I can and I love it and I just think they are neat.

Jackson x Miller
Murphy x Emori
Clarke x Bellamy
Octavia x Niylah
Echo x Raven
Boom!
