It'll always be #Lexa 💔⚔️

Hey I’m a university student doing some research on the ‘bury your gays’ trope, if you could take part in the questionnaire and share around that would be fantastic!

You have to be over 18 and part of the LGBT community.

For the second part you get to create a piece of media, whether that is fan art, a fan video or fanfiction ‘fixing’ the representation that has been taken away from you.

For more details please contact me, either by email or message me.

'Bury those gays'! What is the response of the queer community to the bury your gays trope?

A Positive Resolution to The 100

This is an open letter to everyone involved in the creation of the final season of @cwthe100, as well as anyone with past and present ties to the series willing to help us overcome the imbalance of power.

Whoever worded the above tweet must be aware of the continued negativity surrounding your show; a show that was tipped to become a genre cult hit by the same publication roughly four years ago.

Let’s start at the beginning. We are a Lexa and Clexa fan collective, perhaps controversially and most definitely unofficially speaking on behalf of the greater Clexa fandom. Call this a proposal, an appeal, or a petition. As you’re in the process of wrapping up your story, we ask you to rise above ego and privilege to acknowledge your responsibility as creators by granting Lexa, Clexa, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Eliza Taylor, their fans, the rest of your cast and crew, the LGBTQ+ community, and ultimately yourselves a positive resolution to the Lexa mess.

If you don’t know about the Bury Your Gays trope, please educate yourselves, google it. Much was written about it, the majority of it in 2016, probably using Lexa’s image. Lexa’s death perpetuated this inherently homophobic trope, and you have the rare opportunity to make amends and stand against its future use. You have spent the last season talking about virtual existences and facing your demons. Use your technology and/or the anomaly and unbury your lesbian fan-favorite — reverse the trope and allow this singular character to live through the end of your series.

Remember when Clarke wasn’t ready yet, @kimshum? Your script continues: “A hint of a smile from Lexa, the sense that maybe, someday…” And when Clarke was ready, she told Lexa that “maybe someday, you and I will owe nothing more to our people.” We’re waiting for our someday…

Will you take the show full circle and offer your viewers a positive resolution in the form of a second chance?

Will you allow Clarke to reach her goal, established in the pilot, to see her people build a new life on Earth?

Will love continue to be weakness and used against Clarke and Lexa; or will you prove that it’s the ultimate strength?

Will you let love win by reuniting Clarke with the love of her life, her romantic soulmate, Lexa kom Trikru?

Will you show the world that two women in love deserve to find happiness in each other, without punishment?

Will you honor Alycia’s incredible work for you by turning the negativity surrounding Lexa’s unworthy end into something positive?

We’re not asking to dictate your plot. We’re not asking for fanservice by making a ship happen. We’re asking you to acknowledge your responsibility, to deliver on the promises you made, to right a wrong, to take a stand for responsible, authentic, and better storytelling, to honor the work of your cast and crew by offsetting the negativity with a resolution to benefit everyone:

What will it be? Will you be remembered to have turned on your LGBT+ viewers and to have upheld your lesbophobic message until the end? Or will you be remembered to have learned a valuable lesson and to have passed it on to your viewers?

Lexa deserves better. She deserved better than the to be turned into a plot device after being elevated to a main character in all but in name as you sought to capitalize on her popularity. She deserved better than to be turned into the face of the Bury Your Gays trope. She deserved better than the fate she was given after a life of sacrifice and to die because love is weakness.

And Lexa still deserves better. She deserves better than to be disrespect, invalidated, and vilified, directly or indirectly, by your narrative, by your behavior when facing fans, and therefore by a large portion of your remaining fanbase. She deserves better than to be held hostage as a constant reminder of her death to be used against Clarke and her still-grieving fans. She deserves better than to be kept dead while you introduce motif after motif that could be used to return her to us, to Clarke, and to life itself.

It’s almost too easy. Don’t you want to go out with a bang? Prove the haters wrong. Let love win. Show us the future we deserve. This is your opportunity to do something great!

This is article has originally been posted to Medium and has since been expanded into a website going into more detail and resources for fans to help to spread the word. Please support Lexa Deserves Better: lexadeservesbetter.com

Attention Clexakru, don’t discard the chance of a positive resolution or at ever seeing our Heda again based on assumptions and broken spirits. We know who we’re dealing with, but better to try and fail than not try at all. You never know what the next bend in the path may bring… @hedaswarrior @commander-leksa @clexa-mafia @raccoonhearteyes @clexstar @commanderlexas @fightforlexa @100hearteyes @decalexas @bdasswarrior @unreleasedsong-is-kredkadt @kruton @dritaa @clexabrasil @misslane @akvilon-ru @tinakris @yeahclexa @immochiball @reshoplex @alicia-clark @geryonwoods @peejayand33 @pillowprincesslexa @commander-clexaa @levan-art @lexbian-clarke @lexaslife100 @lgbtfansdb @glaad @the100writers​ @the100-news​ @the100daily​ @the100series​ @warnerbrostv​

Happy Lexaversary

Today marks both 4 years since we first met Lexa and 33 months since they told us she was dead. But we can only think about the day we’ll see her again, because here’s what really happened after Titus carried Lexa out of Clarke’s room… #LexaLives

Silly Rothenberg, as if a trope could stop Lexa. Who’s this Elder, though?!

[fightforlexa]

This is what happened, it's the law. Now we need to see it on screen! @warnerbrostv @cwthe100 @the100writers @kimshum

[lexaspinoff]

Happy December, Kyongedon! Here’s ShayaRonnie’s little Lexa trying out her new bow, hoping to join the hunting party as her village prepares for the winter solstice festivities.

Canon can be rewritten. There’s nothing that says we can’t see Lexa alive again... lexaspinoff.com @warnerbrostv @warnerbrosentertainment

[fightforlexa]

About a year ago, we asked our friend @kattaloop to come up with a scene for the series finale, that could establish that Lexa survived the stray bullet (covered up and whisked out of Polis by Titus before he offed himself to protect his secrets, see lexaspinoff.com) and have Clexa reunite. Because why the hell not?!

All it takes is one scene in the finale (as in the very last episode of the show) for a positive resolution and an effective reversal of the Bury Your Gays trope on the epic failure that is The 100. It even could be done without Alycia on set (though we’d prefer to see a close-up of our healthy and very-much-alive Heda) and surely makes more sense than whatever @the100writers are currently coming up with. Any questions?

[lexaspinoff]

Have you checked out our website www.lexaspinoff.com? If not you definitely should!

Don’t forget to sign the petition

[fightforlexa]

Everyone, please check this out and share the heck out of it. There's still a chance to get Lexa back alive if we all fight for it and, of course, if Alycia can and wants to be part of a spinoff project.

But it's not just about Lexa, it's about the Grounder story we were all hoping to see, and the amazing characters that The 100 barely used to prop up Skaikru. So if you want to see Anya and Lincoln again, Roan and Rhiannon, and find out more about Luna, please support this project, get involved, definitely tell your friends.

Many of the actors have expressed interest in a Grounders spinoff, so let's make sure to let Warner and the networks know that there's a loyal fanbase waiting for a great story!

[fightforlexa]

Missing #Lexa? Thoughts on the finale? Feelings? Put it all out during the trend! We're here for each other and we won't go anywhere. #Clexa

[fightforlexa]

Please join us on Twitter for this trend. It's the anniversary of 316, let's do this for Lexa and Clexa! Tag the writers or not, the important thing is that Clexakru won't give up on them. Please share! ⚔❤

[fightforlexa]

Just in the last few weeks, other fandoms have claimed that Clexa does not matter anymore because Lexa and therefore Clexa is dead. Erica Cerra, who portrayed ALIE/Becca in S3 of The 100 denied both the BYG trope and the baiting. What that means is that we cannot be silent! Lexa still matters and will always matter. Our fight is far from over and @the100writers still owe us.

Lexa means so much to me, to you, to our fandom. We are not ‘the movement’ and have every right to miss Lexa and want her back alive and trend and tweet about her all day long - because Lexa matters to so many people personally, to the show. to the representation of queers and women on television. Yes, Lexa IS representation and without her ‘the movement’ would not be. It started in our Clexa fandom but the fandom is not defined by it, if you see what I mean. Fighting for Lexa means fighting for everything she stands for and everything she represents.

So on Thursday, tweet about how much #LexaMatters to you and why #LexaMatters to all of the above. Remind the writers and producers that they still need to own up to their mistakes and to respect Lexa and her legacy at all costs. We highly recommend tagging them because how else are they going to know you have something to say?! But it is up to you, of course.

Please share this message and join us on Twitter (or do your thing here) all day using #LexaMatters and speak up for Lexa, for Clexa, for yourself, for our fandom, for our community, your choice.
