welcome to my blog

i’m Eli (she/her), 20s, post apocalyptic/dystopian media enjoyer

-> older siblings burdened by responsibility and notorious for their competence are my cup of tea | dysfunctional families and found family are my favorite tropes across every piece of media i consume | i also enjoy doomed narratives with a dose of hurt/comfort on top | i love character studies, meta analysis and rambling about shows and books

-> on this blog i’ll mainly talk about

the hunger games

the 100

occasional posts about the walking dead, pluribus, prison break, maze runner, the last of us, supernatural

bellarke, everlark

everdeen sisters and blake siblings

currently reading: the hunger games (this section will get updated as soon as i move on to the next thing on the list)

the show starts with bellamy being described as a “self-serving jackass who doesn’t care about anyone but himself”, then you find out he sacrificed his entire childhood to raise his sister and lived in constant fear that she could, at any time, get caught, had to watch his mother die for the crime of having another child, became a parental figure to his sister when he was still a kid himself, was willing to die in order to keep her safe, willingly put his life at risk and joined a suicide mission just to keep an eye on her, stayed by her side through everything even when she insisted she didn’t need him, became a leader and protector for everyone around him and spent the whole story desperately trying to keep the people he cared about alive.

the 100 is an awesome show to watch if you like your characters dirty and bloody. shout out to my good friend season 1 episode 10 "i am become death" <3

My favorite part of The 100 series is that everyone is bloody all the time. And say whatever you want but I love seeing men bloody and injured NOT in a weird way I swear

[solarelipse]

do people actually believe bellamy is dumb? it feels like they confuse his loyalty and dog-like devotion with a lack of intelligence. but being the group’s protector, anchor and even a co-leader meant that, beyond his physical strength, he clearly had influence and acted as a grounding force in the group. in several situations he was one of the more rational voices, even if his choices weren’t always the most empathetic. he came across as mature, straightforward and uninterested in nonsense. overall, i’d say he reads more like a realist than anything else.

hc that clarke isn’t really a fan of pet names or nicknames, which is why she always sticks to calling people by just their names. bellamy, on the other hand, only ever uses pet names in a mocking/teasing way to get under someone’s skin (except when it comes to his sister)

bellamy spending 99% of the show covered in blood and having a new scar every other episode is everything i could have ever asked for from the 100.

Doomed siblings have me on a chokehold in a way no trope can ever achieve. Something so gut wrenchingly beautiful about two kids going through unimaginable trauma and coming out damaged forever. I always eat it up. Maybe they stay together and find solace only in each other, used and kicked out by society! Maybe they end up on opposite sides of the war! Maybe they end up betraying one another! Maybe one of them dies haunting the narrative forever! Maybe one of them destroys the world for the other! So many endless tragic possibilities!

oh real and fictional older sisters, you'll always be tragic.

[solarelipse]

bellamy and octavia are quite literally the only siblings ever and that fact is both deeply personal and unbearably tragic to me

[solarelipse]

bellamy instinctively catching her and being the hand that saves her, despite earlier claiming he’d go as far as cutting off her hand to get the wristband, is the moment i was completely sold on this ship.
