Just Holding On.... @k8video - Tumblr Blog

Since all the lesbians are going the way of tech, I’m trying to decide if I want to live on as a fax machine (classic) or an apple watch (trendy)

I mean, both Lexa and Root became a part of superpowered AI’s, but I’m just a humble gay, I’d take a tablet or something simple like that.

#i wanna be a playstation.#then i can play games all day.#bonus: extra lives. kill me all you want. im gonna keep coming back.#gonna go romance everyone whilst saving the world.#:)

#i laughed. :'D #thats so raven.#clexa #clarke #lexa #otp: love is weakness

concept: dont kill the lesbian characters off a tv show and then use AI to excuse the fact that you just killed off a lesbian character. let the lesbians fall in love... let them kill together... let them walk their dog... and be in love idiots who flirt mid battle. i know its far fetched but maybe show two people with epic chemistry falling in love and then saving the world together without them having to constantly be seperated, tortured, killed, or one of them ultimately becoming the voice of AI. try something different. :)

the100theories

I agree the death was done horribly and killed off one of the few LGBT characters on the show, but is it still defined as queer baiting? Because the ship was canon, it was for a long time, and even though the death was unjust, Lexa was a part of a canon queer relationship. Not questioning you or anything just genuinely asking so I can rant about this properly

It’s queerbating because she got killed 5 minutes after she had sex with another woman. It’s queerbating because if Jason knew he would have to kill her, he didn’t need to make them fall in love again within 6 episodes. It’s queerbating because it was done so cheaply that “lesbian dies by a stray bullet’ is literally a trope. It’squeerbating because he gave us hope and took it the most cheap, brutal way. It’squeerbating because they became popular during the hiatus because the whole gay community rooted for him and he got a huge following because of it.

This hate isn’t aimed at you, I am just genuinely angry because I’ve watched this same scene over and over. He was so proud of himself because of the “representation” and yet he does what every other show did. And sure, Clarke is there and she’s representation, but what does it say when you finally have a bisexual character in a happy (sort of) relationship with a lesbian only to have her die as soon as you sleep together? This is so damaging for the gay community that I can’t even begin to explain how crushed they feel after they get punched in the gut like this. -L

As a community our biggest fear shouldn’t be about our favourite characters dying. It’s not even an overreaction because lgbtqia people dying in film and tv is not something that happens occasionally, it happens the majority of the time. We are told we are not allowed to react because ‘everyone dies eventually’ but the evidence tells us that we should not become attached to fictional lgbtqia characters because their chances of dying are higher compared to heterosexual characters. So as a community who are we meant to relate to? How are we meant to learn and grow if people we view as representations of ourselves are repeatedly mistreated in the same ways. Where is the hope when the places we look for it consistently betray us.

The problem is not that one person died. It’s that they build it up. The relationship between Clarke and Lexa was 100% canon and Lexa’s character in general was given so much time and purpose… but still because of ‘bad timing’ she dies? The issue is that the exact same format of storytelling keeps happening over and over again. Just because we are exposed to more canon lgbtqia couples doesn’t mean queerbaiting no longer exists. It has just evolved into this stereotype that ultimately ends in tragedy… not only for the characters but also for the viewers watching who are emotionally connected to those characters and their stories.

#^^^THIS^^^#queerbaiting is such a serious issue.#tv shows use it all the time.#it's a way to give everyone what they want... keep everyone happy for as long as possible.#the problem is... eventually it's going to come crashing down... and most likely the minority will be the ones who are mistreated.#the problem is our voice as a community is getting louder... it's becoming harder and harder to get away with queerbaiting...#... because we don't want it... we want a real legit relationship between two people of the same gender...#... that plays out as any hetero relationship would on tv.#the 100 #lexa #commander lexa

you know what would’ve been infinitely more interesting then this fridge the lesbian bullshit? if ontari had knocked lexa unconscious and stolen the ‘spirit of the commander’ AI so that she could assume control without the element of chance that’s inherent in a conclave

dealing with the political ramifications of lexa losing the authority to hold the clans back from destroying arkadia as well as the loss of her whole life’s purpose would’ve been more interesting then seeing another lesbian die from a stray bullet

dealanexmachina

look, even if ontari came in and assassinated lexa to gain her throne, i would have accepted this better, because there are literally so many people who want lexa dead in the canon, at least that way, lexa’s death would have been about HER and not her relationship with clarke.

but yes, AGREED. dying is easy. living is hard. and far more interesting to write. there are other ways to write people off a show other than death. writers should see it as a challenge tbh. that they don’t shows how creative they really aren’t.

k8video

i was legit hoping for this storyline. i wanted lexa to deal with loosing her purpose. what does she do when she becomes just as human as everyone else. lexa was capable of feeling so much but constantly being told not to feel. seeing that would have been an amazing story to play out.

The 100 theory

Alright so after bawling my eyes out for a good ten minutes, I put my mind to work and I want to share my thoughts on why Lexa is not dead.

Hear me out.

I believe that Lexa is actually inside of some kind of chamber and her mind was uploaded to the chip that was put into her body.

Therefore I believe this scene is Clarke finally meeting the real, very much human, Lexa.

When asked what the most powerful weapon of season 3 is, Jason replied with simply “Love” For my theory I believe that whenever a commander’s AI body gets killed, their human counterpart located in a secure facility somewhere on the ground is ‘unplugged’. This is why we haven’t seen any of the former commanders walking around in Polis.

Now, robots are typically ordered to ‘not love’ which can be shown through the much recited “Love is weakness” tag everyone seems to be so interested in.

However Lexa fell in love with Clarke (we’ve heard numerous cast and crew announcing this such as Eliza and Jason). I strongly believe that the love Lexa feels for Clarke has never been felt by any of the previous commanders, which is why Titus mentioned that Lexa was unlike any of his previous successors.

Now moving onto Lexa’s suspicious “Death is not the end” quote from way back when. I believe that this quote has much more meaning than we were lead to interpret (which is why, after taking the chip, Jason had Jaha repeat the message loud and clear as a foreshadowing).

I think it literally means that when the commander is killed, it is only their AI body that is destroyed and their perfectly normal, human body is still safe until they are unplugged and/or executed by the people who are monitoring them.

This would explain why:

A. Lexa is always so non-chalant about dying

and

B. Why Lexa insisted, although knowing about Clarke’s skills as a healer, that there was nothing that can be done. This is completely true if her body was entirely AI. Without experience in mechanics or without backup parts, Lexa’s body can’t be healed by Clarke.

In this picture, it would seem Clarke and Lexa are exiting a building that looks much like a scientific research or laboratory facility, in my opinion Clarke went in for reasons unknown and found or was saved by Lexa.

The reason why Lexa woke up can be explained by the previous quote. If love is the most powerful weapon and we have just discovered that Lexa is probably the first of the commanders to fall in love, Lexa may wake up after she dies but in her real, human body.

I believe commanders are chosen when the AI chip finds a night-blood (who’s blood is at the moment still red) and they are taken to the facility where they are plugged into a machine and their AI bodies are created.

Think for a second, we know that the technology in The 100 is outstanding and we know that the commanders have black blood (I’m betting the 8th child that Lexa didn’t want to speak of is Ontari and she is possibly a rogue AI). And even with The 100’s track record, I think humans with black blood is a little crazy. Which is why I believe that the Lexa we all know and love is alive and well in a facility where she is about to wake up and all this time her mind has been placed within an AI. The reasons behind this could be because the commander has to be strong enough to control all 12 clans and let’s face it, a 20 something year old girl with a bad attitude and a soft spot for blondes doesn’t seem worthy enough to keep the peace….

Unless she was an AI who is stronger and more powerful than an average human…..

So even if this theory is completely far-fetched, I’m choosing to believe in it because if I believe 100% that Lexa is gone, I’m afraid I will die.

GIVE THIS TO ME GIVE IT ALL TO ME

I’m sticking with this even if it doesn’t happen because it makes 100% sense and ends with the real Lexa alive.

Think about the episode. The entire space section of the story is about the danger of AI technology etc... we ultimately see two different versions of ALIE’s creator. The last time she is seen before leaving on the POD to earth her personality is less human and more robotic. What if the person who left in the POD was ALIE 2.0. What if what was created via the line of Commanders is what ALIE’s creator always intended - connecting the AI to human emotion. By falling for Costia Lexa learnt about love and loss. By falling for Clarke Lexa learnt that love isn’t weakness and forgiveness is possible. That there are other ways of bringing people together that doesn’t involve mass murder. That peace triumphs war - (which was the goal of ALIE’s creator). That maybe... someday... there is hope that doesn’t involve destruction. From the moment we see Lexa she struggles with emotions she doesn’t know how to convey or express... what if she literally doesn’t understand those emotions until she is taught by the people around her? That’s why we see parallels between her and Clarke. Lexa begins to understand those feelings more deeply because she now has context connected to those emotions.

Also Lexa heals quickly... like super quickly... which has always been a tad suspicious. In both Seasons we have seen her with serious injuries that seem to be forgotten very soon after. What if Commander Lexa is the first successful prototype? She did what the other Commanders (and ALIE 1.0 could not) - she concluded that peace is more valuable then war.

So we have ALIE 1.0 who is with JAHA... and then we have ALIE 2.0... that is possibly the AI that was in Lexa’s neck. ALIE 1.0 wants to destroy ALIE 2.0 because it ruins her plans for what she believes to be an ideal future.

In conclusion LEXA is ALIVE somewhere participating in her favourite pastime - having a nap. She is going to wake up and be all “GOTTA GO GET THE BAE!” Leading to Clarke and Lexa living happily ever after.

MAY WE MEET AGAIN.
