The Anti-Clarke & Anti-Bellarke Zone

THIS BLOG IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. HOWEVER, I WILL STILL KEEP IT UP. BUT IT IS NOW AN ARCHIVEONLY. (now currently @proudofyoumurphy).

everyone is like “echo didn’t tell bellamy about her tragic past are they even in love” meanwhile does clarke even know who gina is

[bellamygateoldblog]

brutally honestly I'm just sick of seeing it lol. Sick of seeing the petty be//arke vs becho & Echo vs Clarke comparisons, sick of seeing people not be physically able to talk about Echo without mentioning their preference for be//arke in the same breath. I'm sick of reading some really thoughtful, wonderfully written metas, but being unable to reblog them because OP focused in on be//arke by the end, spoke about be//arke as if their interpretation was fact, rigid and indisputable, or spoke ill of Echo/becho where it had no place being within that meta. My absolute main issue with this pairing is it's fandom. I'm not a big shipper myself, but I understand it, and i'm totally pro-it. But with this particular ship it's reached a point where I feel personally buried underneath it all. Even using blacklist you can't not see it because of mistagging, and it leads to missing out on so much content, too. You can't critique the ship unless you want angry defensive anons (not in any way exclusive to be//arke shippers, but that doesn't make it any less annoying). It invades. It consumes. Which makes being in this fandom exhausting sometimes.

manesguerin replied to your post “It’s not Jason’s fault you blorkers can’t handle the simple fact that...”

BUT CLEARLY IF HE KNEW HIS OWN CHARACTERS HE'D MAKE THEM CANON... because y'know the man who created this incarnation of the characters off of an outline of a book? he has no idea who his characters are. thank you jane twitter for being around to @ him and make sure he knows them the way you do.

[fuckyouclarke]

It’s not Jason’s fault you blorkers can’t handle the simple fact that blorke are platonic and ONLY platonic. He keeps telling you, but do you listen? No, of course not, because you accuse him of “baiting” you! He keeps telling you blorke won’t be happening and you keep ignoring him and claiming you know better then the creator of HIS. SHOW. 

It’s not his fault. It’s yours for not paying attention.

[psycgothpaint-avoidingyou]

days after the final episode of 100 i keep seeing comments from people saying ... i'll just accept raven and clarke hug IF she apologizes to clarke for all that thing with the flame, "i'll just believe that murphy is redeemable if he makes a big sacrifice in the end" well, glad that these people are not the writers of the show, now these people can float, please and thank you.

[blodreina-noumou]

that gifset of B saying “told ya she’d do it” with the caption “he’s so proud” has almost 4000 NOTES and it took all of my willpower to not reblog it thoroughly ripping that interpretation to shreds. be kind, don’t comment anti on gifsets, etc etc, BUT GOOD GOD, how can so many people be so willfully wrong???

I didn’t even like it as a moment between B and Octavia, it felt unearned, but goddamn does it infuriate me that LITERALLY THOUSANDS of you completely misunderstood that scene.

it’s making me like, too angry. it’s really not that big of a deal.

but I’m so mad!!!

I’m mad enough about this stupid moment and the fandom’s total misunderstanding of it that I am once again gleefully pulling for B and C to never, ever, ever become anything even remotely close to canon. I’m pulling for C to sacrifice herself, Echo and B to have a billion adorable babies, and B to refer to C being like his sister. That’s officially my ideal ending again.

because if that’s the big B/C moment y’all keep pointing at for 6x12, then you are delusional, you read WAY too much into shit, and all of your evidence that this is a slowburn headed towards a happy-ever-after is completely null. you don’t pay enough attention, BARE MINIMUM, to actually have any goddamn idea what’s going on in this show. y’all cannot be trusted to predict anything.

Spacekru + being Done™ with Clarke’s bullshit

[robsheens]

not to be That Person but clarke also nuzzled into raven’s shoulder after she said she was sorry about abby soooo idk maybe clarke holding onto bellamy was because her mother literally just died and she needed comfort from a friend and y’all are just seeing it through shipper goggles?? ever think of that

[goaldin-suhnsette]

Even if the Flame gets destroyed tonight, here’s something that a certain group of shippers need to understand…

1. Destroying it will NOT be some kind of be-all end-all ‘cure’ for Clarke’s trauma or grief. (I honestly don’t see how it possibly could.)

2. Destroying it will NOT suddenly make your ship canon. (It was never in the cards anyway. Lexa/The Flame was never an ‘obstacle’, because you can’t be an obstacle to something that never existed.)

Some of the blorkes on twitter are,,, yikes

[fuckyouclarke]

Only some? They're horrific on Twitter, they make the Blorkers on Tumblr look reasonable!! But as horrific as they are there... they're WORSE over on Reddit and Instagram.

[yelenaswift]

i love how blorke stan twitter is attacking richard and lindsey for having OPINIONS

like they don’t have to ship blorke if they don’t want too??? and the “hypocrisy” isn’t real? Richard and Lindsey have both said Murphy is with emori so murven isn’t gonna happen?? also saying that richard and lindsey are “poor and jealous” isn’t cute !!

I wish blorkes would take their breadcrumbs and go

[camp-fam-4-life]

I will never be over the complete hypocrisy of this fandom that you will completely crucify Murphy, wish him dead and say how Clarke and Bellamy had better not forgive him after everything he’s been through this season alone, and his and his loved one’s lives being threatened by the Primes…after literally DYING this season…

But you excuse Clarke’s actions from season 5 and crucify Spacekru for being justified in their anger at Clarke and wish them dead when she made multiple attempts on their lives. Not just season 5, before that too. You DEMAND she be automatically forgiven…but you don’t do the same for Murphy after what happened to him.

[camp-fam-4-life]

Bringing this back around because the hypocrisy has reached new heights after 6x12 when Clarke told Murphy she was proud of him and she forgave him instantly. 

Y'all are preaching about how Clarke always has to “pay” for her actions and betrayals, and Murphy “gets away with everything”. (Like, WTF??? Are y'all on CRACK here?!) 

Y'all are preaching about how Murphy shouldn’t be forgiven because “ he tried to kill Clarke” and he “betrayed his friends”, as if Clarke hasn’t done EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS. 

Y'all are preaching about forgiveness, but it ONLY applies to when someone is holding a grudge against CLARKE. You’re ready to condemn Murphy and ignore his whole arc this season, and don’t pay ANY attention to it - thus ignoring all that Clarke did last season - but the minute Clarke UNDERSTANDS MURPHY and expresses to him that he’s making the right choice, she’s proud of him for it, and she’s seeing the deep grief in Murphy over the loss of Abby, and seeing him CRYING OVER HER… you suddenly think it’s “not earned”. 

But you all where defending Clarke left and right in 5x12 long before Echo talked sense into her, right before Clarke was going to KILL HER. Clarke had left Bellamy to die in the pit and now betrayed them all yet again by giving away information to McCreary that would get them all killed, and then left Bellamy to die in the gorge. She came to her senses last minute and made the right choice!

If you’re going to preach that MURPHY making the right choice to save his friends wasn’t “earned”, that he’s “irredeemable” and hate on him, and then defend Clarke doing that SAME THING IN 5x12, you’re the biggest hypocrite.

blorkes: the becho reunion was bad because they just hugged

also blorkes: bellamy and clarke are in love because they hug!!!!

[fuckyouclarke]

To them, this makes complete sense. Just proves they're nothing but a bunch of brainless idiots.

[octaviaiscool]

[whysomessyme]

Just saw this on instagram.

So Bellamy can't tell his girlfriend that he did cpr on a friend?

Dude seriously, they are so desperate they arent getting those two together this season they''ll believe Bellamy wouldn' t tell his beloved girlfriend that he saved a life.

[blodreina-noumou]

people will try to come up with ~*~reasons~*~ to hate Echo, but ultimately it always comes down to Becho interfering with Be//arke

I actually saw a post that was like “unpopular opinion but I like Echo, I just don’t like her with Bellamy” and I wanted to kiss that person, because at least they’re being honest with themselves!! I also kinda wanted to scream, because if it’s an “unpopular opinion,” way too many people have fully convinced themselves that they hate Echo for reasons that have nothing to do with her wrecking their ship. and that’s all it is!

another post pointed out that fandom exonerates Wells, holds him in basically the highest regard, despite the fact that we barely got to know him and 90% of his characterization comes from within fandom itself. so the argument that Echo is “poorly developed” is not fully valid. most romantic relationships in this show have their inception happen off-screen (Memori, Linctavia, etc). and the only reasons to ship B/C are all subtextual and have no real “romantic” moments to be pinned on. so you can’t really say Becho was poorly developed either.

it’s just more boring shipping wars, but now people are really digging in their heels and finding reasons to hate Echo that aren’t even real - like the weird misunderstanding that she was a nightblood this whole time?? no, Russell turned her into a nightblood.

I know I should expect no less at this point. but after the reveal of Echo’s full backstory, I really can’t help but be disappointed. we were given a complete picture of who Echo is, how she’s had to live in order to survive, and a reasonable explanation for why this information was kept from us thus far. 

Echo’s entire life is a lie - her identity has been molded for her from a very young, formative age, in an incredibly violent way. her survival has depended on playing a believable role, and on never hesitating. so she keeps her loved ones close and her secrets closer.

it’s really sad, and also makes her even more inspiring as a character. we’ve been given a backstory, been given that development - can some of y’all just finally admit it was never about Echo, and 100% about being a diehard blorke? just be honest about that! it’s fine! lean into it, because you’re not fooling anyone. 90% of the Echo hate comes from the fact that she cockblocked Be//arke at the time that most people expected B/C to become canon.

and I understand if you’re disappointed about that, I would be too. but don’t disguise that with poorly misplaced and supported aggression towards a female character. be better than that.

[bellamygateoldblog]

Something that’s been bothering me lately is half (or more) of the posts in Echo’s tags having a defensive section in them reiterating that they are, in fact, a be//arke shipper, as if that has any connection to Echo at all. The hate on her is so strong that people, even those within that be//arke space, feel the need to justify liking her.

When anti echo B/C stans claim ‘no character development!!’ what they actually mean is: ‘Echo isn’t a main character, so we don’t know as much about her as we do about Clarke.’ Which is wholly about shipping preferences and wanting Bellamy with a woman who they personally feel more connected to, and thus, 'deserves’ him more. In fact I’ve never actually read an argument against Echo that wasn’t based around her relationship with Bellamy. She’s had development, she’s been here since season two and we’ve learned a lot about her. These people choose to ignore it and reduce her character themselves so it gives them reason to hate her. The thing is now they’re finally being given the pieces of her story after much complaining, they’re still faulting her, saying it’s just too late.

Another thing: I’ve noticed a lot of people just aren’t willing to take a closer look at her character and understand why she is the way she is, and why she does the things she does. People often get caught up on the fact she was once an antagonist to our mains and brand her as *~evil~*

With all of that being said, I and many others find Echo to be a highly compelling character. That wouldn’t be possible if she really was 'void of personality’ and 'severely underdeveloped.’
