I just don’t understand what you are trying to say actually you just said Clarke couldn’t move on from Lexa but then you also said she’s in love with Bellamy and for this reason you think Clarke won’t find a new love interest like Bellamy did -even though you claimed Bellamy was in love with Clarke all along even when he got together with Echo- so what’s the truth exactly? If Bellamy can move on Clarke in 6 years Clarke can move on from him in more than 6 years too. I don’t get your point.
The POINT is that The 100 is the story of Clarke and Bellamy and their relationship. It has ALWAYS been, on some level about Clarke and Bellamy’s relationship. Clarke and Bellamy are soulmates. They are the heart and the head. Nothing works on The 100 unless Clarke and Bellamy are TOGETHER.
This is the story of Clarke and Bellamy, heroes, and soulmates, and how they come together, again and again, to save humanity, to learn how to be the good guys, to make better choices, to break the cycle of violence.
The 100 is the story of Clarke and Bellamy and their relationship, and EVERY SEASON, they get closer. EVERY season, Clarke and Bellamy’s relationship gets more intimate, and more passionate, and more necessary TO THEM.
Clarke is in love with Bellamy. Bellamy is in love with Clarke. This is actually canon. Bellamy thought Clarke was dead. Dead dead. Not living anymore. Even so, he didn’t even FORGIVE Echo for three years, and who knows how long after that it took him to be romantically involved with her. There was no moving on from Clarke. There was just letting go of the memory of love he had for his dead partner, and accepting that she was dead and choosing to live his live in the present, because Clarke was dead. Dead dead. Not living.
He STILL remembered Clarke and still guided his life by her memory. This was ALSO canon. But he found another girlfriend because Clarke was dead. Dead dead. You know. Dead.
So he was still devoted to Clarke, even though she was dead. You know. Dead. Even though Bellarke had never been in a romantic relationship. They have had a non-romantic partnership out of which grew their personal, private feelings of romantic love for each other, which is visible to everyone around them. They however, do not realize that the other is in love with them. There are many reasons why they never believe it. Because one has betrayed the other (s2, s3, s4, s5) or because one has another love interest (s1, s2, s3, s4, s5,) or because they are separated by time, space and death itself. (s1, s2, s3, s4, s5.)
AND YET. Clarke remains loving Bellamy, and Bellamy remains loving Clarke.
The story of Clarke and Bellamy has become EXPLICITLY romantic with the revelation of Clarke’s 2199 radio calls to Bellamy at the end of s4, and the romantic obstacle of B/E, which has become, EXPLICITLY IN CANON, a love triangle that has been called out by OCTAVIA, the person Bellamy loves more than anyone, and whom he sacrificed Echo’s safety for but, whoops, wouldn’t sacrifice Clarke’s safety for.
since you don’t seem to be able to follow me
is that Clarke is in love with Bellamy. 2199 calls, Lxa comparing her love for Clarke to Clarke’s love for Bellamy.
And Bellamy is in love with Clarke, the other traitor who he loves, and this is IN CANON, and Clarke’s love interest for season 6 is BELLAMY BLAKE. There is a romantic obstacle in the way that has ALREADY been set up. That would be B/E. Because C/B/E is a CANON LOVE TRIANGLE. That story is NOT resolved, although we have CANON conflict surrounding it with the “traitor who you love” scene, and an antagonistic character who is a CANON witness to Bellamy’s CANON love for Clarke even though his CANON girlfriend got sent on a suicide mission rather than challenge his love for Octavia.
Clarke does not “move on easily,” because she has, in canon, been in love with Finn, and was devastated by his cheating and then death, which affected her for MONTHS if not years. And she has, in canon, been in love with Lxa, and was devastated by her betrayal, kidnapping and death, which affected her for IN CANON years. And she has, in canon, been in love with BELLAMY for YEARS, and talked to him for 6 years to keep him with her, and when he came back, was devastated to learn he had moved on to Echo.
Finn. Lxa. Bellamy. Three loves. That she has been, IN CANON, proven to NOT GET OVER EASILY.
Bellamy has moved on more easily than Clarke has. So the defense that “Clarke moves on easily, look at Finn!” as evidence for Clarke getting a new love interest when we are ALREADY IN THE MIDST OF CLARKE’S CANON LOVE INTEREST AND ROMANTIC OBSTACLE does not support your point the way you think it does.
When you gave me your evidence, “Look at Finn!” I looked at your statement and remembered the story and how Clarke “got over” Finn. which was. Not. Easy. HE LITERALLY HAUNTED HER. We saw his ACTUAL ghost. So I could see that your evidence failed to support your hypothesis. If your idea of “getting over love easily” is to go crazy, run away, become a different person, mourn for years on end and be devoted to the memory of someone for 2199 consecutive days… I just don’t know what your idea of someone who DOESN’T get over a broken heart easily. I mean. You get that this is not Clarke just brushing off her loves, right? Moving on? She doesn’t move on. She holds on.
You don’t get my point because you aren’t following the story and you don’t understand what I’m saying. It doesn’t mean that the story doesn’t exist or I am not making sense. I keep giving you evidence from the canon to point out how things are connecting. I am not MAKING THINGS UP. I’m using evidence from the text so that you can see how I came up with my theory and how one thing leads to another. Because stories are ABOUT how one thing leads to the next, the cause and effect, the connections. SO this is what I intend to show you by pointing out canon evidence and then explaining what I think it means. So you can see the story being told.
And for some reason, you either don’t WANT to see the connections, or don’t get them. I think maybe you’re just ignoring everything I say, and the canon, that challenges your theory, because you… don’t want to be wrong? IDK.
That’s something you’ll have to figure out. I’m too tired to untangle it.
You don’t have to keep sending me these asks, you know. If you don’t agree with me, just ignore me. But if you send me stuff telling me I’m wrong, I’m going to go back over my theories and give you the evidence I gathered to come up with my theories and interpretations, which have, 9 times out of 10, turned out to have been right. Yes, I can be wrong. But I’m not usually.
Oh wait. Do you think Clarke wasn’t in love with Bellamy the ENTIRE time she was with Lxa? That might be your struggle here. Yeah. She was in love with him since s2. But she thought he hated her, so she turned to Lxa, who she also felt drawn to and did love. You can love more than one person at a time. Do I think that’s going to happen again? No. Because now their romantic relationship is becoming canon. IN the act of. Because Bellamy is Clarke’s love interest. In season 4, 5 and 6.
