If other universes exist I hope we’re happy somewhere. That there are universes where history doesn’t pull us apart and we become a tragic story full of sorrow and regret, ones where we don’t become our own undoing that only history would remember us for. I know in this story we could never belong to each other, but if there is another universe, another story, another us I hope we can love each other until our dying day.

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
Today marks 10 years since The 100 first aired, so here's one of my favorite images of Bellamy and Clarke in episode 1. If you can, please feel free to add to this post to celebrate the anniversary. I'm just very sad I didn't have time to make a gif for the occasion…
The sun started to shine today, and so much the better, because with all the work I have to do, my morale is at half-mast. I'm also thinking of all those for whom everything is complicated at the moment.

dear sunflowerkru, how lucky it is that we're celebrating this anniversary on a bfsn, huh? and how amazing that we're still here, wanting to celebrate? that despite the ending that shall not be named we still create.
i had plans, i must say. i wanted to finish my s7 au that's been sitting in my drafts for about two years, then when i realised i wouldn't be able to, i wanted to work on something shorter but alas, that didn't work out either. it's been nearly impossible to motivate myself to write and genuinely get a move on, last months have been stressful and exhausting. but i'm not giving up, it's a warning ;-) there will be a canon divergence at some point. i still have a couple of months left for my personal anniversary in this fandom, so anything is possible.
instead, have a couple of gifs. i haven't giffed in ages, so it's hardly polished but it's been nice to go back to it and to make a set of the defining moment in the show for me. i've known from the pilot that the show had me by the throat but this hug was me realising for sure that this ship was it for me. i was done for. and still am.
i love you all, fam. and i will always, always have a soft spot for this show and for this fandom, for helping me to open up in ways and ways.
I came into this fandom late, but I'm so glad that I finally made it. Y'all were so welcoming and really helped soften the loneliness of covid for me. I LOVED jumping on here for bfsn or bwc or to just look at all the amazing art/gifs/fanfic y'all created! Seriously, some of the most talented people are here on good ol' tumblr.com. Thankful for you guys and your continued friendships over these years!
I've been a bit MIA, but just know that I think of you all often! You'll always be my bellarke fam, my tumblrkru and I will always come back from hiatuses, but just know, when I disappear for a bit:
Thanks for the tags @togetherkru @natassakar @carrieeve
And a hi and hugs to: @igotbellarkeforthat @bookwormforalways @heartbellamy @immortalpramheda @ninappon @pendragaryen
Happy belated BFSN and happy 10th anniversary of The100!
Thank y'all for tagging me! Although these first 3 months of 2024 had been and still are really tough in many ways for me, my family, some of my dearest friends and even for some of my collagues in terms of losses and illnesses, i thought it's only propriate to celebrate this BFSN and the anniversary of our beloved show with a few words. I'm very busy, so i can relate to some of you very well. There's so many things to do or to get ready that sometimes it seems overwhelming for me. And the emotional mess i'm feeling right now is not supportive... But i have to admit there's a smile on my face while i'm typing these lines. It's a wonderful occasion and opportunity to hug y'all in mind again and to say thank you to a very kind and lovely fandom, that welcomed me back in 2016! I hadn't been around when the 1st season aired, i joined the fandom during the controversial S3. But i have WATCHED the first season first, bc i got a recommendation from my best friend to watch that show back then. And so i watched it first on stream or on dvd or something like that. But i remember that it was THAT scene above, that particular man and THIS thousand-dollar-smile that catched me and kept me watching. I fell in love so hard. lol
Then all these other characters began to fascinate me as well and soon i was reaaally engaged in a certain ship called Bellarke. ;) I think it was around the time of me watching the first season, that i also read the books from Kass Morgan. (Thus my absolute disappointment about the route they (JRottentomatoe) took with Bellarke... (At least they're canon in the novels... ) The story itself, especially over the course of the first 4 (and a bit of 5) seasons was so intriguing and well thought through! I LOVED it! (Although i absolutely despise the time jump. The 2199 radio calls are a plus, but since it didn't lead to anything it was very unnecessary imo. It ruined so many things for me. In my opinion Bellarke should've become canon at the end of S4. Period.)
Despite the fact that especially that mess of a last season (that does not exist for me) robbed us of so many things and negated the very core story the show provided us with for 6 years i keep loving it for especially the first seasons of the series. And i will continue to love and to recommendate it to everyone (just not that damn last season).
Thanks again and again for letting me join and for sharing all the awesome (and even the not so very awesome...) moments, scenes, story arcs, characters and their relationships and the discussions after every episode on here. It was a blast (well, mostly, but that is not your fault of course ;)!
Oh and thank you for reminding me of the anniversary! There's SO MUCH going on in my RL at the moment... But none of it is so very positive like this occasion and you people on here.
Lots of love! And happy beginning of the spring! May the rest of the year be kinder to us. God, please...
(Please continue to be so creative! I still love to scroll through my dash and see your edits and words, although i may be not on here very often anymore! (Sometimes it's one of the very few things that keep me sane and positive. Looking at you, Clarke. ;) <3<3<3))
Happy Belated BFSN! I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the premiere. It feels like only yesterday I was sitting on my couch rage crying over the ending. There are still episodes I haven’t seen which is probably for the best. But I’m not here to talk about the negativity surrounding that final season because I know that there are some people who absolutely adored that season. I am here to talk about the friendships that I have made over the last 10 years and the people in this community that are so beautiful. I was lucky enough to meet some of you in person and it’s one of my fondest core memories. I am one of the many you attended Conageddon 4 over the weekend. It was amazing to see new and old fans enjoying the show all over again. The fan videos before the panels were so beautifully done. I definitely wore my Bellamy Blake Deserved Better T-shirt because my boy definitely did. I wish that Richard had attended because clearly Murphy is my favorite. But I got to meet these angels in person. I have to say that Marie is chaos and I love her even more. Everyone was sweet and kind. Who knows if there will be another one. No one believed there would be a 4. Yet there was one. So here is hoping! Thank you everyone for the memories and a community with unconditional love! Sorry for not continuing the tags…my memory sucks and names have changed. But I love you all!
Conaggedon isn’t the same as that first time and it makes me sad. VIP is a fun experience but nothing will beat the time spent with the amazing ladies who shared my passion for a beloved show.
Hello everyone! Now that February has come and gone, I’ve sent out all invites for the fic collection, so I’m here to share that the collection is officially live! If you ever want to return to the event and read the fics that were made for Bellarke Valentines 2023 you can do so here!
Also, as a reminder to our authors, don’t forget to check your invites if you’d like your work to be included. If you haven’t received one and don’t see it in the collection currently, please reach out to us and I’ll take care of it ASAP!
Happy Valentine's Day! I wrote this for @johnmurphysass for the Bellarke Valentine's Exchange 2023. It was a lot of fun and quite a challenge to write, and it turned out much longer than I initially planned. Anywho... Enjoy!
Meet Me at Midnight
Present Day
“Do you think Bellamy will propose tonight?”
Of all the things Clarke expected to come out of Roan Frost’s mouth at 9:17 on a Tuesday morning—before she’s even two sips into her much-needed coffee—that wouldn’t have even cracked her top fifty. She glared over the top of her laptop at her cubical mate. Roan smirked knowingly; he had a knack for pushing her buttons and took a distinct pleasure in doing so. The less caffeine in her system, the more potent the blow.
She took another gulp of her coffee and said, “What if I was planning to ask him?”
Roan shrugged, unbothered. “Okay, were you planning to ask him?”
Clarke frowned. She had kicked the idea around for the last few months but had not formed any concrete plans. A lot of her ideas were time-sensitive. Others were too cheesy, and she immediately discarded them like an ill-formed sketch. So, as of February 14, 2023, she had yet to make a definitive plan to propose to Bellamy Blake.
“I’ll take your silence as a ‘no,’” Roan said, turning back to his computer screen.
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” she found herself explaining. She wanted to take that next step with Bellamy, truly. “It’s just all my ideas for how I would do it are so cliched or difficult to pull off. I’m totally stumped.”
“Can’t it just be a mature conversation between two disgustingly cute people about their future together?”
Clarke rolled her eyes. “It’s a major milestone. When it does happen, I want it to be special.”
“You’d be getting engaged; that’s inherently special.”
Clarke sighed. Roan was probably right, but she couldn’t shake the desire for some sort of sweeping romantic gesture to mark the occasion.
She glanced back up at her coworker and found him watching her with more sympathy than she was used to receiving from him. He smiled. “I don’t care who does it, but one of you needs to make the leap. Soon. Because if you don’t, I will; Bellamy is way too handsome to remain untethered like this.”
“This coming from the guy who spent all of New Year’s Eve mooning over Raven?” Clarke laughed.
“It is not unheard of to be attracted to multiple people at the same time; I contain multitudes. But speaking of overblown events attended by beautiful people,” Roan said, lounging back in his chair, “are you two still planning to come to my mother’s Valentine’s charity soiree tonight?”
Nia Frost never needed an excuse to gather Polis’s society members under her roof and ply them with the best alcohol money could buy. Most major holidays ended up being ghastly, opulent affairs, stretching long into the night, designed to raise awareness for some cause or other, giving Nia the optics of a benevolent socialite to the rest of the city. The reality was rich people rubbed elbows and cut deals to benefit themselves. Clarke had been to several of these events over the years due to her mother’s and stepfather’s prominence in Polis. Their attendance was largely a combination of a feeling of obligation and the need to mitigate the damage of their less-than-altruistic peers.
Clarke narrowed her eyes. This was the second time someone had brought up the party to her that morning; Bellamy had confirmed with her about it before he rushed off to work. “Will it be totally ridiculous?”
“Positively garish, but it could be fun. Supposedly, there will be a few surprises throughout the night,” Roan shrugged casually.
“Bell seemed eager to go this morning. But I reserve the right to bow out if it’s anything like last time.”
Roan’s grin was strangely mischievous. “Fair enough, but for some reason, I doubt it will be.”
Clarke knew it was only a matter of time before her past came back to find her. She was just waiting for the time that he found her to bring her home. She recognizes his voice the moment he starts bidding the dread settling into her stomach as her wins. Bellamy found himself at the auction by chance, but can't believe his luck as he stares at the angel on the stage. He knows that he has to win her at all cost.
