Fuck marry kill: Clarke, Lexa, and Raven
..........................
..................
...............
........
this is so so so fucking cruel and I can't believe I'm going to say this but
KILL Lexa. I just don't care for her and the thought of having to spend time in her company at all exhausts me. Begone.
... FUCK Clarke. UGH. I can't believe I typed that. I don't even find her that attractive tbh (and Lexa's actress is prettier but as Lexa she's so empty-eyed and BLEH...). but like hell I'm getting legally entangled with that woman. She's at least more entertaining that Lexa and we could have one (1) night of hate sex. She's eating ME out though.
MARRY Raven. A balm after writing all that xDD. We'd be hella compatible though. Just doing our own thing, hanging out, talking intellectual pursuits... it'd be nice.

heyy, love your fics. i'm currently in the process of reading the echo pregnancy fic right now and i adore it so much.
also i know its been a year but im still baffled by the fact that murphy and raven embraced clarke?? instead of having a moment where they spit in her face and start yelling "you bitch" (that callback would have been rlly funny). also i dont understand why earthkru just.. accepted her into their little group. like she causes more problems than solves them? everyone they know including half of spacekru is dead bc of her?? girl's just.. terrible?
omgggg I'm so sorry I meant to reply to this and completely forgot to (story of my life)
Thank you so much!!!! I really enjoyed writing that one!
I mean same lol. It makes absolutely no sense in character. It makes no sense after everything that has happened between Spacekru (/Earthkru) and Clarke - ESPECIALLY without actually spending any time resolving those issues. I mean I doubt there was any resolution that could make me buy that friendship in the end after everything, but an attempt to at least have the characters work through their past hurts and work towards forgiving each other (cough cough forgiving Clarke) would have been appreciated.
The thing with the 100 that you have to accept - and the single factor that I think hurts it the most - is that ultimately the show can not let go of the idea of Clarke as the classic YA hero. Even in a show that insists it's about complicated issues and morals and morally grey characters and a dog-eat-dog world of no heroes, just people making selfish choices to survive, ultimately it still characterizes Clarke as a YA hero is has friends, is loved by everyone, and is always the Hero who did the Right and Necessary thing at the end of the day, EVEN when her actions and the way they affect other characters tell us differently.
The way that Clarke is handled and the very messages and attempted themes of the show are in direct odds with each other.
Like the show can't fathom having a happy ending that doesn't involve Clarke being loved and accepted by the rest of the characters we love. And so we end with them being Buddy Buddy friends, without the baggage we know they have, to achieve that Happy Ending.
But it rings false because it's at odds with literally everything that has happened in the show.
Clarke is not best friends with the other characters at the end of the show. They've hardly been a united group, let alone a friend group/found family, since s2. And that's not even getting into the ways she's directly hurt them, they've all been focused on different priorities, and the fact that they have legitimate grievances with each other.
But. You can't acknowledge all that baggage and messiness if what you're going for in the end is Clarke the hero made it through and is happy with all her friends. So they give us that without even ATTEMPTING to do the legwork to make that believable. And so, unless you buy into the idea that Clarke IS the Hero (which I personally don't), that ending rings INCREDIBLY hollow and fake.
Like. I can't honestly see either Raven or Murphy ever being buddy buddy with her again - and they frankly very rarely were through the whole series, but that's a whole other topic.

JaTagged by @boomheda​ and @johnmurphysreddit​.
It’s the final hiatus folks! Tag games based on reflecting on the run of the 100 so far!
Let’s start with a fun one! Most heartbreaking/heart wrenching moments!
(I’m not yet very good with pictures, so... words only folks, sorry!) 
First - Fun? is an interesting word for this one! lol!
1. Tor Lemkin and his daughter/the culling on the Ark in general. It was a deeply felt moment, sketched beautifully with just a few short scenes, gestures, props (her little hairclip...) and framed shots, concluding with Abby her medical crew coming in after it was over to collect the dead. The choices were obvious, but the whole sequence was so well done. 
2. Jaha’s panicked search for the crying baby on the empty ark. It moved his sacrifice to send his people home to Earth from noble to tragic in a horrfying spasm of grief for his lost son, and I know Isiah Washington is ... complicated, but I actually think he’s very good in roles that highlight the tragedy of a dignified, talented man falling to peices. 
3. Clarke standing alone at the gate to Mt. Weather after Lexa abandoned her, small and alone and broken in the pouring rain. It was a very powerful visual, capturing the internal emptness and since of utter failure that Clarke was experiencing. I felt it deep in my gut, and I wanted to wrap her up in a warm blanket and over her hot cocoa and promise her tomorrow would be a better day. I know it was an earned comeuppance. And the seeds of Lexa’s choice are all there, especially in rewatch, but poor Clarke was so blindsided, and so devasted in that moment by her failure to hold the grounder/ark alliance and save her friends... it really made me ache for her. Possibly for the last time, but, still. In the moment, my heart broke a little for her.
4. Lincoln’s funeral. His death - was so long telegraphed that in the actual happening it just exasperated me (it was just a little to freaking artisitic and ironical and get over yourself JR, honestly, IMO). I couldn’t feel the tragedy of it. But they got me back at the funeral. Octavia’s face, in the firelight. I felt her grief, and how this wound was going to scar her for the rest of her life. 
5. David Miller giving his place to Nate. Parents and children, always I am a complete sucker for this move. 
6. Clarke betraying Octavia/surrendering to Diyoza/asking Bellamy to murder his sister. I don’t know that this was intended to be hearbreaking? But it broke my heart. Because I’d kept the Clarke hope alive in my heart for years, that somehow she’d make it back to being the protagonist I’d thought she was (pretended she was?) in s1 and s2, that I could keep on keeping on with all my buddies in the bc camp...  and with that action my heart broke, you guys. Just cracked right up. Because with her sly little shoulder settle as she picked up the radio, I knew Clarke was - for me - never going to be a person I could root for again.

Do you ever think about the fact that certain people were more pissed about echo beating up Clarke than Clarke electroshocking her “daughter”

The double standard in the fandom infuriates me. So it's perfectly okay(and considered deeply romantic for those who ship them) for Bellamy to do whatever it takes to save Clarke, but if Murphy tries to do the same for Emori, he's called every bad name under the twin suns of Sanctum. I'm so tired of Clarke and Bellamy being given free passes for everything they do.
That’s The 100 fandom for you. The double standards run rampant. 😒 I’m really tired of it, too. It starts to feel like we’re not all even watching the same show. I just don’t see what they see, whether it comes to some epic romance between B & C, or thinking that harsh words deserve a redemption arc, or a dozen other unfathomable viewpoints besides.
I try to avoid it, for the most part. But the occasional overlap between factions reminds me that some people have a very different, infuriating, and confusing perspective despite watching the exact same show that we have.

So spacekru knows about the Dark Year, as evidenced by Raven calling Octavia a monster and Murphy telling Josephine about it explicitly
Which means that either Clarke or Abby told them
Every time Clarke did something awful, she got to frame the narrative and tell people about it first or at least very soon after
But Octavia isn't given that chance, she isn't allowed to speak for herself and tell her side of the story
Her family and friends are told that she is a monster by someone that either tried to kill her multiple times or that was behind the Dark Year but puts all the blame on Octavia while she's in a cryopod, thus incredibly vulnerable and at their mercy
Then when she is woken up, everyone but three people reject her and solely call her Blodreina to dehumanize her
And people really try to tell me that there isn't a double standard on this show

"I won't apologize" Clarke in a nutshell
30 notes · View notes
Note
I'm very glad that I found this blog. I am fairly new to t100 fandom and so far it seemed that everyone liked Clarke while I hated her since s1. She is so manipulative, unforgiving, and just toxic. I hate how she declares herself the sole leader and then whines when people treat her like one. She fucks everyone over, even those who genuinely care about her or love her, the moment things don't go her way she decides to emotionally abuse them. Every other character is allowed to be held (1/2)
(2/2) accountable for their actions (and her Clarke stans even encourage it) but the moment any fan or character on the show calls Clarke out they are bad and need to be quiet. There are a lot of morally grey characters and ones that I dislike and are not the greatest people, but out of all the characters we are supposed to empathize with Clarke is the only one who refuses to show any remorse and who never wants to make amends. All of them, every single one, deserves better than her.
Thank you! And I completely agree!
Honestly, I’d still hate her, but I wouldn’t hate her quite as much if she was shown to feel a little bit or remorse or her stans held her accountable like they do the other characters. And you’re right, every single character deserves better than her!

A little salt for your Monday -
This
“What the hell do you want from me, Murphy? I’m sorry, okay, for all of it. I never meant for you to get hurt, but, no matter what I do, someone always does. Is that what you want to hear, that I’m the bad guy? Fine. I’ll be the bad guy. When I’m in charge, people die...”
Is not an apology. It’s not a thoughtful appraisal of past actions. It’s not even taking responsiblity for anything - because it doesn’t even name any particualar action.
It’s not anything but resentful posturing - while still clinging to power and authority. 
In short - it’s complete and utter bullshit.
Which is why she walks right into the bear trap and starts yet another unintended war (where lots of people die) she doesn’t know how to end approximately twenty-four hours later. She’s still too blind to her own past actions to be able to step carefuly in her present.
Tragic flaw, anyone? What is that word.... ? Hubris? 
I still think the odds are good that she might die....

Clarke's biggest failure as a character is her complete refusal to realize she should step down from any kind of leadership role because she's simply not qualified for it. She just naturally assumes she's the answer to everyone's problem when in most cases, she's the cause, and when anyone calls her out on this, she makes a scene by having a juvenile temper tantrum.
Tumblr media
I think the one and only time this works well for her, both as a character who makes decisions and one that we should want to root for, is in s2. In that season, her near-maniacal need for control makes sense. Because she suspects Mt Weather from the beginning, and because she spent some time trapped within those walls, she understands better than anyone how vital it is to rescue The 47. She’s one of the only people who advocates for them, so her relentlessness and stubbornness comes across as loyalty and determination. That’s compelling.
But in the later seasons, that all falls totally flat. From s3 onward, it’s hard not to see all of the choices Clarke makes - and all of the times she wrests control or leadership from someone else - are motivated by selfishness and pride. It’s as though she becomes so accustomed to being in charge, to making those hard decisions, that she comes to believe that she’s not only the best at doing so, but perhaps the only one capable of doing so. 
And she absolutely isn’t. Everyone in this show has had to make really difficult decisions to survive. 
So her self-righteousness and flagrant power trips aren’t as interesting anymore, and can be downright aggravating.
I don’t know where they’ll take her from here. My ideal is that she wakes up to the unfortunate reality that she isn’t best suited to leadership, that she should leave that burden and responsibility to someone else. That she’ll put down the fight and maybe strive to work for others, rather than getting them to work for her. 
Hell, I’d even take some more pretty dresses and dinners and raves. Just keep her out of the driver’s seat.

Echo: When do we attack?
Bellamy: We don't. We do what Clarke would've done.
Me: Pull a lever to kill them all with radiation?
