Clexa. Doccubus. Root & Shaw. Now & then I post my own candids. I've snapped a few cool shots through the years. Got lucky mostly. So... for better and worse... hope you enjoy my photos.

WonderCon...

Hope everyone attending the WonderCon panel keeps their cool.

Hold 'em accountable, but do it with class. 

Ask, don't attack. 

Wanting to crush certain folks like bugs may be personally satisfying... BUT, if we don't allow for amends to be attempted (even by the worst offender, even when it's forced), then it just makes us seem as intractable as those we're challenging. 

Remember... Mockery is not the product of a strong mind, ClexaKru.

As a movement that is genuinely seeking long-lasting change, positive rallying cries are what wins the day & the battles.

I know that I want the irresponsible storytellers to not go away embittered & forever our enemy... but to be chastened & affected to the point of going back to work and actually, seriously changing the narrative landscape.

Hearts & Minds.  Godspeed!

friendly reminder that Jason Rothenberg said this: "The ending of episode seven is something that, when I thought of that idea, I sat down with a few of the writers on the show and I said to them, ‘You guys I just had an idea that is either the most ridiculous, shark-jumping idea of all time and I will be done with the show and they’ll fire me, or it’s brilliant.” X

friendly reminder that after it didn’t go his way and he got blasted, he blamed it on contract negotiations and scheduling conflicts with AMC, who, earlier, he called wonderful at negotiating. AMC who allows another series regular on the same show has Alycia to continue to make music with his band. AMC who probably would have worked something out with Alycia for season four.

friendly reminder that he has hidden behind Alycia, who has openly said how hard it was for her to say goodbye to Lexa, who has said that Lexa is her favorite character she ever played. friendly reminder that he’s hiding behind a 22 year old girl who loves squids and asks her fans what color sharpie they want things signed in. Alycia fucking Jasmin Debnam Carey, who doesn’t even know how famous she is, while Jason Rothenberg literally buys himself Twitter followers. 

friendly reminder that nothing he has said has added up, and the Clexakru demands justice.

The CW is standing by JRot

Listen up Kru! As of tonight, the network and Jason don’t even consider us a real problem. They think they did nothing wrong and that we’re nothing more than “bitter teenagers who will get bored eventually and move on.” That is an actual quote. They’re trying to wait us out and they haven’t taken anything we’ve done so far seriously. This is a business and they’re confident we can’t hurt it. I say it’s time we turn up the heat. To prove them wrong we need to go after their image and their bottom line…fiercely. It’s time we stop playing nice. They underestimate us and I think we need to show them they shouldn’t.

If you haven’t reached out to advertisers yet, please do so. We need to make being associated to The CW a PR nightmare for anyone who dares to do so. We’re going to start planning trends targeting advertisers directly. We’re going to take this directly to big media outlets. We need to reach out to their distributors. Basically, we tried the nice approach and that clearly has gotten us nowhere so now the game plan is changing. We’ll have more details as to how coming out soon.

How did I come by this information? I’m currently standing at a party surrounded by industry folk and just had a conversation about the Variety article with a handful of people that have direct knowledge of what’s happening. They have no reason to lie to me. They’re friends of friends. I know where they work and who they work for. They know I’m in the industry and have no idea I’m in any way associated with what’s going on. These are reliable first-hand sources and I’m passing them on directly to you. We know what’s going on behind the scenes so let’s use it to our advantage.

VOTE FOR CLEXA

We’re losing, they got a headstart. Please let’s win this thing. This would mean a lot for our ship. This is probably the last time we’re gonna get nominated, let’s go with a bang. Do this for us, for Eliza and Alycia, for Lexa and for Clarke. Let’s make this part of our revolution.

Blackout: Lexa died for nothing on the show. Make it mean something off the show.

The most effective way is to stop promoting them. Anything else helps them and means you are endorsing and supporting what happened. We should however still speak out and have a voice, promote good articles, make ourselves heard in different ways, etc. Trend “LGBT fans deserve better” at some point this week or on Thursday, without tagging the show.

If you can, donate to this fundraise for the Trevor Project.

1. Unfollow JRothenbergTV and cwthe100 2. Unfollow the writers 3. Do not tweet about the show or use The 100 hashtag 4. Do not use the hashtag on Tumblr 5. Do not link to articles about the show, do not give them hits. 6. Unlike from FB 7. No page counts/views for new promos/sneaks 8. Boycott/unfollow journalists who support this. 9. Bad ratings on sites like IMDB/Netflix/Hulu. 10. Don’t watch on CW site, don’t watch on any official venues like Netflix, don’t watch live 11. Do not vote in polls 12. If you previously recommended this to friends, tell them to stop watching. 13. Spread the message.

You can find an explanation for why doing this matters here.

If you want to try and make a difference, contact the CW and tell them why you will no longer be watching the show. Please be respectful when doing this. Maybe if people contact them, something may happen. Remember that the CW stands on social media presence. www.cwtv.com/feedback/comments OR send an email to; [email protected] [email protected] and CC to Hulu and Netflix; [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Remember to make it clear that it isn’t about shipping but about representation, baiting & how the constant use of the Dead Lesbian Trope is not only cliche, mediocre & completely predictable storyline but also how affects YOU and others in our vulnerable, young LGBT community. Don’t come across as angry or aggressive. But measured, reasonable, disappointed & disheartened.

To JRoth & team...

Here’s the thing… you all have written these characters & these relationships so beautifully. And almost none as intricately & intensely as Lexa and Clarke. The show is so much more than just shipping… but you have to admit that without the relationships, there’s not much meaning to any story. You’ve given us these remarkable & formidable women as leaders, who affect change and lead the way. And I’ll never be sorry that on top of all of that… there’s this powerful & genuine love story between Clarke & Lexa that’s developed so fully.

The 100 prides itself on being unconventional. And so you gave us a core f/f relationship that would rarely ever even be considered by almost any other network television show. You reassured us that you understood our fears and how meaningful this could be in our lives. So we let our guard down.  And here we are left with nothing once again. I don’t believe that was your intention at all.  Or you would’ve never perpetuated such a traumatic trope.  But what kind of message does it send the general audience, many of whom aren’t accepting of our equality, when you kill the queer girl immediately after consumating their love?!  That’s where so much of this pain is coming from. 

You can say ‘no one is safe’ on The 100.  But it rings a bit hollow. Because it’s not like you’re actually ever going to Kill off Bellamy or Clarke. (And I don’t want you to.)  So, yes, it’s true for recurring and guest stars, the nameless masses, and even plot-turning children.  But only one actual main character has been killed off in almost 2 ½ Seasons. (I don’t think Wells really counts b/c being in 3 episodes before being killed is hardly main cast.) I really don’t believe for a second that you ever have any intention of killing off your main mains. An occasional orbiting main character, yes. But using the 'no one is ever safe’ justification for Lexa’s death just falls flat. And it particularly stings when you realize that so far this season all of the identifiable character deaths have been women. Gina, Queen Nia, Monroe, Lexa.  I’m sure it’s unintentional. And I’m sure a likable fellow will meet his maker any episode now, but still… look at how all of that is coming across.

As much as I wish you’d found another way, I must commend you all for the caliber of that death scene. Because if there had to be one… well then, that was the mother of all death scenes. You gave them every emotional beat that I could ask for to show the depth of their connection, their love. And I can only hope that in going forward… Clarke keeps Lexa present. And never allows anyone to shade Lexa. Please don’t let this be a bridge on the road to rebound. But I don’t think you’d really devalue Clexa and us like that. I so want to believe that love is NOT weakness.

One last thing. In the aftermath of Lexa’s death… I’ve seen some sentiments that run along the lines of… 'Thank god she’s dead so we can get back to OUR story.’ And I find this mindset dismaying. As someone who’s watched since episode one, let me tell you that I enjoy the ever-expanding world of The 100. The more it grows, the better it gets. The insular bubble of that band of delinquents surviving on their own belongs to Season 1. And while those bonds will always remain, and it’s great when they reunite in various ways, there is just so much more waiting for them outside of Arkadia… whether it’s alone, together, or with whoever else they meet next. Because part of growing up & living is forming new relationships. The world of The 100 is more engaging for it’s world building & expanding perspectives… for having Lexa open up this world beyond that isolating Skaikru bubble. 

I’m still watching. Just honor Lexa’s memory. And I wouldn’t object if you found another way around this loss. (That doesn’t just lead us back to this same result.) Thank you for reading.
