currently revisiting all my childhood obsessions because they're the only ones who never let me down 

[head-and-heart]

I can’t wait for when six years and seven days have passed in real time since 4x13 aired when the fandom will rise from the dead once more to FINALLY post all the “it’s been 2199 days since Praimfaya …” memes.

You know, even though I fully expect most of this fandom to be dead in the ground and have moved onto something else by then, I still have faith that we’re THAT Extra to come back for one last hurrah. And maybe we won’t really feel the weight of all the time that Clarke and Bellamy have spent without each other until that moment.

Why do people fall in love?

Because we hate ourselves.

Hello popping back from the dead to share with y’all that I have seen my ex’s profile on my tinder FOUR times today even though I keep swiping left and this is about the 7th time his profile has shown up for me total. TINDER WHY???? Does anyone have expertise on why this is happening to me cause seriously considering deleting the app ATM (not that I need it lol #socialdistancing)

the poetic cinema in the movie Holes when it shows Kate Barlow in the schoolhouse and drops of water are falling on the book she’s reading and you think the roof is leaking again even though Sam fixed it but then it shows that it’s actually because she’s crying and then Sam walks in and looks at her tear stained face with the softest expression and says, “i can fix that.”

The subplot of Holes was hands down the greatest love story of our generation

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

So since 500 is a pretty big number and I never EVER thought that I’d have this many followers, I decided to do something a little different. I’ve been in the fandom since season 2 and I’ve read SO MANY fics over the years. So i decided to compile a giant list of my absolute favorites. Then I compiled that list and realized how long it was so now I’m splitting it up! Here are all of my favorite modernverse/farmer Bellamy/Hogwarts AU fics.  (Obviously I have my weird kinks) These are in no particular order and I don’t have an AO3 so I know that I left so many good ones out because I’m going off of ones that stick in my head.  

- A Song to Keep Us Warm  by kindclaws……..N/R

   This is an absolutely beautiful fic. Dancer!Bellarke is definitely HOT.  Clarke and Bellamy are co-dance-instructors. Bellamy helps her find her passion again.

-The Girl Next Door by funfanfin…..M

   OH MY GOD. THIS FIC. just wow. I don’t even know what to say. Bellarke as neighbors. Angst, fluff, and of course, happy endings. 

-Turn the Tide on My Losing Side by Lalalli…..T

   Fun Bellarke + Jaha facebook shenanigans. Such a fun and lighthearted fic. “I want to touch your abs.” Iconic, honestly.

-Ice by rabiscar….T

Is it really a fic rec by me if there isn’t a hockey/ice skater AU? Hockey player Bellamy is hot and I absolutely love the dynamic between Bellarke in this fic. Not only does it have hockey, it also has bed sharing, enemies to friends to lovers, and so much teamwork, which is Bellarkes brand tbh.

-Potions et Patroni by @chants-de-lune…T

A Harry Potter AU where Bellarke are professors at Hogwarts. Also doubles as a soulmate AU. Meg does such an amazing job of bringing the show characterization to these characters in a completely different setting. I absolutely love this and am a huge sucker for Harry Potter AU’s. 

-What’s a Little Quaffle Between Friends? by @talistheintrovert…G

Another Harry Potter AU. Talis is a genius and had all the chapter titles be Harry Potter puns. Bellamy is constantly getting hurt and Clarke is always there to patch him up. So much light fluffiness but also so much angst! One of my fave fics! She also wrote a smutty follow-up to this, Finders Keepers. 

Talis also has so many other fics that are amazing and I’d so like to recommend them all here but this would be miles long. Definitely check out all of her others!!! 

-Weave Me a Myrtle Crown by AJRedfern….E

So this fic is on almost every fic rec list I’ve come across and its not finished but its literally that good. Mixes mythology, reincarnation, and firefighter Bellamy/EMT Clarke. The characters are so well written and there is seriously so much angst that it makes me want to cry whenever I re-read it. 

-The Odds are Good by tacosandflowers…E

Modernverse with so much angst that it hurts. This fic taught me everything I need to know about kayaking and waterfalls and now every time I go kayaking, I think about this fic. This fic is B E A U T I F U L.  The amount of love that Bellarke has for each other in this fic is only paralleled by show Bellarke. This author also wrote a follow up, New Expectations, which is a baby fic set in the same universe.

-Willing to Wait For It by LayALioness….T

FARMER BELLAMY. I’m not quite sure why i have a Thing^TM for farmer Bellamy but I sure as hell DO. Clarke is a vet that helps take care of Bellamy’s farm animals. She needs someone to come with her to her high school reunion. Features two idiots in love who don’t know how to talk about their feelings for each other.

-Without Giving Anything Away by chash…E

Another farmer Bellamy fic! Octavia leaves home but doesn’t want Bellamy to be alone, so naturally he puts an ad out for a wife. Clarke comes knocking. Not one, but TWO Bellarke weddings! 

-Of Coffee and Magic by @chase-the-windandtouch-the-sky …T

Clarke owns a coffee shop with a twist. She puts magic into people’s drinks to take their pain away. The only downside is that she gets to feel their pain, taking “I bear it so they don’t have to” to a whole new level. So naturally, she thinks that Bellamy only likes her because of her magic. So fluffy it kills me. 

-Win a Date With Bellamy Blake...Bittyab18…M

So I honestly haven’t read a lot of the new chapters on this one but this is the first Bellarke fic I ever read, so it has a special place in my heart. Exactly what it sounds like is what happens. Clarke wins a date with movie star, Bellamy Blake, who she knew from high school. Of course, they become friends and then hide their feelings for each other.

-Did Venus Blow Your Mind (Was it Everything You Wanted?) by @selflessbellamy …M

Clarke signs up for a body paint contest and Bellamy is her canvas. Is it weird that body painting is a kink? Because I definitely have it.  

-Jumping to Conclusions is Sacrificing Yourself to Embarassment by tempestaurora…T

Such a fun, lighthearted fic. Bellamy and Clarke take the same elevator everyday. She thinks he doesn’t speak English so naturally she talks about how hot he is to Raven right in front of his face.

-Take My Hand by winterwaters…E

A So You Think You Can Dance AU where Bellamy and Clarke aren’t too fond of each other. But, of course, the power of dance brings them together.

-Vienna Waits for You by panem_et_circenses….M

This is one of those fics that I could just read again and again. It has such a weird and unexpected mixing of tropes but the way that the writer put them all together works so well. Bellarke in college, Bellamy as an underground boxer, artist Clarke, nude model Bellamy, fake dating, Finn as his natural douchey self, and some Wicken, Linctavia, and Monty/Miller!

-To My Favorite Scar (To All of the Stars) by @prosciuttoe…T

So this is more of a college AU than it is a Foxhole Court AU but it has some of the delinquents as Exy players, which is a made up sport from the previously listed title. I read this so long ago and I still to this day remember how much I love it. Bellamy is the captain, Clarke transfers from another team, who she now shares a rivalry with. A relationship filled with animosity quickly turns into a loving friendship (and more, wink wink)

-I’ll be Home for Christmas (if Only in My Dreams) by @head-and-heart…T

An AU loosely based on Eliza’s movie, Christmas Inheritance. Bellamy is a grumpy hotel owner and Clarke is running away from her life in the city. Angst but so FLUFFY.

**definitely check out all of these wonderful writers’ fics! They’re all AMAZING!

Thank you to everyone for following me and helping me out with finding fics! Here’s to the 600 follower canonverse/fantasy AU list I already have compiled 🥂

She needed your blood. Yes, thank you. I know that. Could have been worse. She wanted to kill me!

“The problem is once he came into your life and planted roses inside your heart, you started to look forward to just him. You don’t look forward to hanging out with your friends anymore. You don’t look forward to taking care of yourself anymore. You don’t look forward to a lot of things because you’ve drowned yourself in a person who can possibly throw your heart in a river and leave it there turning all shades of blue. You need to wake up. I know he planted roses in your heart, but sometimes for roses to last longer, they need to be cut in half. The problem is you never look at the whole picture. You throw away all of the good things you have, and replace them for things that end up hurting you instead,” I said.

It’s been more than 200 days since you walked away, and for the record,  you left a compilation  of broken words stuck  inside my head. I’ve been getting dizzy  listening to your words filled with gasoline   playing over and over inside my head.  I’ve been trying to figure out how to pause them because  your voice is taking me down memory lane, and I think somewhere along the way my head is going to turn into a wildfire that burns me in front of people  who try to make up for what you were.

Yesterday I overheard someone talking about how he was taking classes at the University of Maryland because they offer free tuition if you’re over 60. 

My brain IMMEDIATELY began scripting a screwball comedy in which a broke millennial who desperately want to finish his long-abandoned degree but is drowning in student debt pretends to be a senior citizen in order to attend college for free.

I’m picturing someone Channing Tatumesque, applying age makeup every morning before he heads off to class. It’s sort of a cross between 21 Jump Street and Mrs. Doubtfire. He keeps forgetting which hip is supposed to be his bad one. His classmates laugh every time he uses slang. There’s definitely a scene where he attends a college party and busts it up on the dance floor.

He catches the eye of a fellow returning student, a woman in her 50s, but she thinks he’s like 70 and she’s already buried one husband, you know? She’s not interested in doing that again. When his charade unravels (hilariously) at the end of the movie, though, she finds out he’s actually like 30 and has abs you could bounce a quarter off. And he’s still super into her. And really, maybe it’s time she gave May-December romance a chance.

“They are the only two people in this world that know know what the other endured, because they both were the victims of this abuser - sexual victims, psychological victims, pretty much every way you can be victimized, he inflicted upon them. They both survived it. They’ve both come through it. They both have a very long way to go, but they know that they have each other.” - Bryan Cogman
