Unpopular Opinion – I Loved Season 5 Bellarke
*Many apologies for grammar and spelling mistakes, English is not my first language*
I am writing this as I am at a point where I have to write all my Bellarke thoughts down to clear my mind … I have too many LOL!!! So, if there is anyone reading this … Very Sorry … I wrote this over a few weeks, it is super long and could be all over the place!!
I Love The 100 in its entirety and all the characters, but this post is all Bellarke.
First of all, thank you so very much and much love to the wonderful Tumblr blogs who are ‘The 100-Positive’ (special shout-out to @sometimesrosy & @katersann - please don’t feel obligated to read this, I just want to say thank you, I really appreciate your blogs.). I actually only joined Tumblr after the finale because I could no longer be part of the Bellarke Twitter fandom. I understand that a person has a right to be frustrated with a tv show and its direction, but I DO NOT understand the backlash and that frustration being spiteful and cruel to other members of the fandom and toward individuals involved with the show. But I am really not here to delve into that whole mess and I do not feel, as a human being, I have a right to judge or criticize anyone.
I am not a Shipper type of person. Bellarke are the only tv/movie duo that make me feel so many things and I have been shipping them romantically and loving them as individual characters and non-romantic partners since Season 1. I liked C/L and I like B/E and I think those relationships bring a lot to Bellamy and Clarke individually and together. Of course, I would have loved The Kiss in Season 5, but we didn’t get it, and we have to respect and empathize with the choices made, with the direction of the story and with every single character. And now, I truly understand and appreciate Season 5.
Bellamy and Clarke are the beating heart, soul mates of The 100. This is how they are described by the showrunner and as a devotee of the show as a whole, I truly believe they are. This has been represented and developed on our screens since their relationship as partners began, and Season 5 further emphasized that. Personally, I feel their relationship and the meaning of their relationship developed further, I really don’t feel it has regressed.
I mean, look, you never know, Season 6 might take us a down different route and I could be completely wrong. But after 5x13, in my personal opinion, the current Bellarke destination is Romantic Love.
End of Season 4, going into Season 5:
Impactful and deep Bellarke moments in S4 and ultimately in 4x13, that to me, confirmed that they both have romantic feelings for each other … but of course, beautiful Bellarke angst inevitably follows, with Clarke sacrificing herself and Bellamy sacrificing that love to be the man that Clarke has always believed him to be.
BUT also, at this point I do think they are still unsure/unaware of each other’s feelings. Bellamy knew Clarke had a relationship with L and in S4 with Niylah, and Clarke has always been reticent about the meaning of her feelings with Bellamy, the whole ‘love is weakness’ and of course they had the End of the World to think about lol … again our beautiful Bellarke angst. But 4x13 leaves the Romantic door open. (I mean, the ‘cold sweat’ moment! An excuse to caress her face, and the way she looks at him when she lifts her eyes up to him!!)
Clarke had survived Praimfaya. We had seen her alive and well 2199 days after and we found out that she was alone on Earth with Madi. Space crew hadn’t come down, and she had been unable to open the bunker.
From Tasya being a regular cast member to hints in S4 (and even back further), it was essentially obvious that there would be a Bellamy/E relationship coming into S5.
We knew from interviews that Clarke’s priority would be Madi, and that Bellamy would have his family Spacekru, and that there would be conflict there. So I really don’t see how some are surprised, we were told this many times in the lead-up interviews.
But above all, we knew that Clarke had been talking to Bellamy EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 6 YEARS.
Before I start with Season 5, my thoughts on the radio calls …
Again, Clarke talked to Bellamy every single day for 6 years and 7 days. She talked to him rain, hail or shine, through her very worst and her best days.
I imagine that Clarke, after her very difficult first months after Praimfaya, and after meeting Madi, built a peaceful and loving home in Shallow Valley. But she still needed and wanted to talk to Bellamy every single day. What did Bellamy bring to Clarke during those 6 years, Strength, Comfort, Hope, Truth…?
Can you imagine Clarke, not even knowing that Bellamy was still alive, but always hoping that he would be coming back down to her. During the fifth year on Earth, that waiting, that excitement, then that disappointment, and even heartbreak knowing that He might never come back to Her. But she never gave up on him. She always had hope that he would come back to her. I think when we see Clarke at the 6 Years 7 Days mark, she is more dispirited than she would have been in the first 5 years, but she still needs to talk to Bellamy, have that connection with him and hold onto that hope.
Clarke had time to think and properly mourn her past relationships. I think that she was ready to open up herself to Love and finally accepted within herself that she was in Love with Bellamy.
I know these comparisons are tired but seriously …Noah wrote to Allie every day for a year in The Notebook = Romantic. Mike calling Eleven every night for a year in Stranger Things = Romantic. Clarke talking to Bellamy every day for 6 years… would have to = Romantic.
That complete devotion to him and his memory and what he brings to her emotionally and subconsciously is hard to define. Bellamy and Clarke, what they are to each other and what they mean to each other is hard to define. But I think it is transcending, deep, true, Love.
This season brought us so many beautiful Bellarke moments and development, and I am so exasperated that they are continually dismissed by part of the fandom. Sometimes I feel like we were watching completely different shows. Also, we have to remember that it was 6 years later, fast-paced, and took place over a short period of time, at most 3 weeks.
Clarke talking to Bellamy on the Radio since Day 1. Now, we don’t hear her say his name, so it can be left to interpretation who she is talking to. But it is obvious after 4x13 and for true fans of the show that she is talking to Bellamy. In the wording used and her facial expressions, especially the heartbreaking ‘if this is the last time… I just want to say …’ Clarke more than likely also ‘talked’ to Raven, Monty and Murphy, but it was confirmed in 5x13 that it was Bellamy she spoke to everyday.
Mama Bear Clarke – coming into the season, we knew that Madi would be Clarke’s priority and in this episode we saw her nurturing side, and how protective she is of Madi.
Then there’s that lovely fireside chat with Madi, which ends with her looking up to the starlit sky and next shot… Bellamy looking down to Earth. Always that connection.
Bellamy thinks Clarke is dead. And no surprise for me at all, he is in a relationship with Echo. We learn that it took him 3 years to forgive her. I don’t think that means he ignored her for the first three years. I think that Bellamy, the good man that he is, developed a cordial relationship for the sake of the group and included her. And he saw her develop into the person that he later falls in love with (and I think he was a big part in that development).
That the B/E romance and development was off-screen does not bother me at all. Because as viewers, I feel we aren’t supposed to connect with them as a couple, and I am more than happy with that. And am also very happy that there wasn’t a Bellamy/Raven romance. The choice to have B/E instead of B/R covers many aspects, but in relation to Bellarke it is positive. If they had decided on B/R, then to me there would be no hope for B/C. They couldn’t have another ‘love triangle’ between Clarke and Raven as that was already done in Season 1 with Finn.
Bellamy’s conversation with Echo foreshadows the Bellamy/Octavia reunion but above all Bellamy/Clarke reunion, ‘Nothing will change on the ground’ and ‘Octavia will be the least of our problems …’
BUT definitely confirming Bellamy and E are in a loving and canon relationship.
Bellamy’s references to Clarke show us that her last words to him have continually guided him, and he has lived up to her and cherished her memory for 6 years. We see his heart break when he says to Raven ‘I left Clarke behind to die, and I’m not doing that again.’ And Raven then lying to Bellamy to stay onboard, because she knows and saw what he went through after losing Clarke.
Bellamy being more composed and calmer, thinking things through, the born leader. For me, this foreshadowed his S5 character arc, aka ‘Head Bellamy’
Clarke doing everything to protect Madi, and the absolute fear at the thought of losing her. Again, foreshadowing Clarke’s arc, aka ‘Heart Clarke’
Madi instantly recognizing Bellamy first and the ‘Clarke knew you would come’. The number of times Clarke drew him (I know, head canon, but more than likely…?), talked about him, talked to him. Clarke’s never-ending faith in Bellamy, Madi recognizing Bellamy first and his reaction…so many emotions.
The rover driving up to Clarke, Clarke saying ‘Madi, no’, Bellamy seeing Clarke, saying ‘Madi, no’ and telling her to stay in the car, him getting out of the car, the lights are blinding Clarke she can’t see who is walking towards her, he speaks, her face as she recognizes his voice, the ‘best dad in the universe’ mug, him putting up his fist as signal to Madi, ‘283 lives for one, she must be pretty important to you.’, ‘SHE IS’.
The entire episode leads us to the epic final scene. The Bellamy and Clarke reunion was objectively the most anticipated and it was soooooooo amazingly well done.
Bellamy is the Hero, Clarke is the hero. They are each other’s heroes.
The most Intimate and soft reunion. Clarke is still in pain and in total shock that Bellamy is alive, and Bellamy in total awe that Clarke is alive. Bellamy ‘you saved us all’ and Clarke ‘and now you are home’. They never had a ‘home’ when they were on Earth together. For Clarke to overtly say that, has so much meaning, I don’t think she would ever have said that before. But 6 years of thinking about Bellamy, and the shock of having him in front of her, he is finally with her. Definition of ‘Home is where the heart is’: Your home will always be the place for which you feel the deepest affection, no matter where you are.
The way they hold each other and keep holding each other, Clarke wearing a singlet so Bellamy is touching her skin, the way they look at each other. So beautiful and sensual.
Hostage taker and his girlfriend. Diyoza saying that is obviously to point out that Bellamy’s actions and Clarke’s reactions in 503 could be deduced as romantic.
The way they effortlessly slip back into partnership mode, the non-verbal communication, and Clarke picking up straight away on Octavia/Bellamy tension … after 6 years they still are so in tune with each other.
Bellarke Partnership is back. We see Bellamy including Clarke and relying on her. And then trying to get her to open up by the campfire, which led to a gorgeously awkward and significant moment of Clarke not telling Bellamy that Madi AND talking to him every day helped her survive. Her not telling him, as an audience, we understand that the radio calls are of even more significance than they already were. And I guess there may be different views of the reason why she didn’t tell him, but really … if she wasn’t in love with him, there would be no awkwardness and she would freely tell him.
Heart and Head scene – which has copped criticism, but I loved it. Because Clarke, after all this time, continues to read Bellamy so well and reassures him. By saying “heart and head” she is also reassuring herself, that he remembers their last conversation 6 years ago.
A lot of the S5 criticism from fans was that Clarke seemed to be cast out of the group dynamics and was a shadow of her former self. But to me, Clarke being reserved and taking a step back made perfect sense. She was alone with Madi for 6 years and then in the space of one day her whole world was drastically changed, and she was understandably overwhelmed.
Clarke *heart-eyes* to Bellamy is just so beautiful, and it was a so consistent throughout the season. She had been talking to him for 6 years, hoping for him to come back to her. And he does come back to her, but he is changed. He is more Head, wiser, responsible, a thinker. The man she loves is more than she ever dreamed him to be. And that, logically, takes her a bit of time to adjust to.
Then at end of episode, Bellamy is reunited with Spacekru, and kisses E. Camera immediately focuses on Clarke’s reaction. Now, again different interpretations … just to let audience know that now Clarke and O know? But I think their expressions are important, with both of them it is shock/confusion, followed by anger for O, and heartbreak for Clarke. And her facial reactions are similar in Season 1 when she sees Finn and Raven being intimate. This to me confirmed once again Clarke’s feelings for Bellamy are not platonic.
I believe Clarke’s behavior towards Bellamy changes after seeing him with E. I don’t know if “distances herself” is the right phrasing, but I do feel that she seems to put up a wall and becomes primarily focused on Madi. Eg. when he approaches Clarke about O, she dismisses him and goes to look after Madi. And usually, Clarke is always there as his sounding board, so we do see a look of surprise on his part.
Clarke also says to Niylah “everything is so different now”. And says admiringly “that was Bellamy” when Niylah thanks her for saving their lives. But she does look sad in that scene. Things have changed, nothing is what she imagined they would be. And the biggest change that we see in canon is that Bellamy is in a relationship with E.
On the surface, the episode is focused on the Bellamy, E and O triangle tension. But Clarke is ever present. At end of the B/E love scene, the next scene cuts to Clarke packing her things to leave and the same background scene is playing which to me means the we are meant to link those 2 scenes together. I know Clarke leaving is to protect Madi from O, but she realizes that it has been 6 years, Bellamy has his own priorities now, their relationship is different, and he is in a relationship with E. When she sees them kiss, we see that she is heartbroken.
But Bellamy does care for her as he did 6 years ago. It has only been a few days, at most 5?, since he has found out Clarke is alive, and I do believe, with everything that’s been happening, he hasn’t truly processed that fact. So when Clarke comes to him, and tells him that she is leaving with Madi, the confusion and distress on his face is clear, he just assumed that Clarke would never leave his side. Then he follows her to find Madi, and when someone starts shooting at the defectors he continues to follow Clarke. His basic instinct continues to be to follow Clarke.
They slip back into partnership trying to find solutions. Clarke getting more and more anxious about Madi, and the influence O has on her. And Bellamy, being quite stressed wanting to protect his loved ones in Shadow Valley and his loved ones in Polis.
Heart wrenching moment hearing Jasper’s letter, and Monty’s plea to not start a war. We can really see Bellamy and Clarke struggling with it, but they are running out of time and solutions.
Clarke reaching breaking point, radioing Diyoza, maintaining eye contact with Bellamy, and proposing to ‘break the cycle’. Bellamy knows what she is implying, and Clarke knows that he will not react well. We know that season will bring so much conflict to Bellamy, in regard to his relationships with O, Clarke and Skaikru.
So much eye contact between Bellamy and Clarke throughout episode, to check how the other is reacting to things, how they are feeling… And cute moment with “real diplomatic”.
Bellamy being extremely firm, killing/hurting O is completely out of the question, even it means they could have peace. Clarke knows that Bellamy would never hurt O, but Clarke has Madi now and is willing to do anything to protect her. They decide to kill Cooper. They are both struggling with that, but they do it together and support one another. When Monty says ‘why don’t you kill O’, Clarke doesn’t say anything because she understands Bellamy’s inner battle.
Clarke ‘Heart-eyes-to Bellamy’ Griffin apologizing to Bellamy and Bellamy trying to ease her discomfort by making her smile with ‘Mama Bear’. He does understand her doing everything to protect Madi, as he has always done everything to protect his sister. Then angst, with Clarke being ‘arrested’ and making Bellamy promise to take care of Madi.
Now, there are many different opinions, but I think that Bellamy loving Clarke has been a gradual evolution over the seasons. AND NOW WE HAVE IT IN CANON!! He comes in to talk to O and the first thing he says is “I can’t let you kill Clarke O”. Pause. She leans back, sighing, ‘Here we go again … pleading for the life of a traitor, who you love” She looks up at him waiting for his reaction. He knows she is baiting him and doesn’t respond to it, but you can see that it affects him. (and I think O arresting Clarke on her own, she might also have been testing Bellamy’s reaction, waiting to see what he would do, where his loyalties lie. And maybe also testing how he now felt for Clarke after the 6 years? I think I read too much into things sometimes!)
O has just compared his love for E, with who he is in a romantic relationship, to his love for Clarke. Meaning that O believes Bellamy is in love with Clarke. O is someone very observant and I think she has always noted the blind devotion Bellamy has for Clarke. And in S5, after 6 years apart, she see that his devotion has never wavered. And it is so interesting that both O and Clarke see and have mentioned to him (O more so indirectly) what the other means to him. But this time, Bellamy chooses Clarke over O. Now, of course Bellamy is also doing it for the ‘greater good’, for peace, for his friends, but throughout ep 7 and 8, Clarke and Monty both brought up killing/hurting O, and he would firmly dismiss it. Clarke being sentenced to death is his tipping point. Clarke, who he left behind, who he has mourned for 6 years, who he has just got back, who he has always loved. No, he can’t let that happen.
Bellamy takes Madi to see Clarke, and it is a really special moment between them. Bellamy tells Clarke that he poisoned O and Clarke reassures him that she will be ok and that he did the right thing. She says, ‘she was willing to destroy the last survivable land on Earth, not to mention kill the people we love.’ And then Bellamy has an adorable awkward look on his face, because he would be thinking back to ‘traitor who you love’. He doesn’t mention to her that he also did it for her specifically, which means that it is very significant. Then Bellamy says ‘Together’ and Clarke’s face lights up and she says ‘Together’ back. I really loved that callback, because I think ‘Together’ really embodies their relationship. And Clarke really needed to hear it I think.
Bellamy: Telling Clarke about the chip and Madi, starts a fight between them. We see Clarke’s absolute anger that Bellamy would even consider this. But Head Bellamy is back and lets her know that he has his ‘family’ to think of. This scene parallels 4x11, where Clarke locked Bellamy up to stop him from opening the door and saving O. Bellamy and Indra let Madi decide for herself and does tell her that Clarke doesn’t approve, but when he says that this will save Clarke she agrees. Madi also tells Bellamy ‘If you do this, Clarke will never forgive you’. It is like she gives him a warning because she knows how much Bellamy means to Clarke and this betrayal will break her heart. And Madi also knows how much Clarke means to Bellamy and gives him a breath to rethink the chip. She knows that this will change everything between them. He knows this too, but is willing to risk that, for the greater good, for her life. I think that deep down, he also thinks that Clarke will forgive him. She will eventually understand his choice. Forgiveness is their thing, it is what they do, to reassure each other, to relieve each other of their burdens. They will get through this, as they always do. So his face after her slap and as she walks away ….. ugh our beautiful Bellarke angst.
Clarke: Her actions were completely taken over by her heart. Her child’s life was at risk and she acted rash and everything she did was to protect Madi. She couldn’t rationally listen to Bellamy, and when he mentioned his ‘family’ I think she became resolute and her only thought was Madi. Especially after he said the iconic ‘Together’ in the earlier scene, which adds to her heartbreak. When she walks in and sees Madi unconscious and looks at Bellamy, her whole face shows her devastation. The slap and her leaving him behind, is because the man she talked to every day, the man she thinks so highly of, the man she loves ‘betrayed’ her, broke her heart.
And I don’t think they were OOC. And comments “that’s not my Bellamy/Clarke”, with how their characters have been redefined and their development over the 6 years, they made complete sense to me and I understood their actions.
These episodes showed the separate but similar journeys they needed to take. They both have their own personal issues to resolve, before coming back together in the finale.
Bellamy: He tries many times to reason with O but we also see that he isn’t let her get away with things anymore. His journey is to come to terms that his sister has changed and that he can’t be the one who continues to sacrifice himself, his happiness, his well-being for her. He continues to fight for ‘the greater good’, for peace, for his loved ones. He is the man Clarke always knew he could be.
Clarke: Her journey is to accept that Madi is her own person, and that she has to ‘let her go’ in the metaphorical sense, and she needed to be the one to help and resolve Abby’s demons. There was a lot of backlash about Clarke, in these episodes. I understood Heart Momma Bear Clarke. I think that after leaving Bellamy behind to die, which she did for Madi, she desperately had to continue doing everything, right or wrong, to protect Madi. As she says to Madi in 5x12, “I don’t need ghosts telling me what I lost to protect you Madi.” She was internally dealing with what she had done and she couldn’t let herself breakdown about leaving Bellamy.
And the scene with E was really beautiful. Sorry E, lol trying not to turn every scene into a Bellarke scene but it was, wasn’t it? Clarke finding out Bellamy was alive, catching her tears, “I always cared” “He put the flame in Madi’s head”. (side note: Clarke telling E “you were good for him” … Which she is, but Clarke is still not aware the extent of how her ‘death’ impacted Bellamy’s development)
And Commander Madi, telling Clarke that L’s biggest regret was leaving Clarke at Mount Weather. L who canon Loved Clarke, telling Clarke not to make the same mistake she did. Which is leaving Bellamy to die. So, comparing L’s love for Clarke, with Clarke’s love for Bellamy. And then ‘Go save him’, not them, him, Bellamy. Finally accepting that she has to let Madi go, and Bellamy is her tipping point, like Clarke was Bellamy’s in 5x08.
And I appreciate the continuation of the memory of L, she was a very important part of Clarke, and it was beautiful that she was the one reminding Clarke of her love for Bellamy.
After letting Madi go, Hero Clarke steps up, is rational and is doing everything to save her friends.
Hero Bellamy inspiring and getting through to Madi, again being the man that Clarke wanted him to be, knew he could be. And we see Clarke *awkward-heart-eyes* Griffin when Madi tells him it was him that motivated her to save the prisoners.
Speaking of awkward… This is the first time they see each other since the ‘betrayals’. And the awkward eye contact is Everything.
Clarke at drop ship door, Bellamy a few meters in front. Madi noticing Clarke looking at him and deciding to take action. ‘You have to forgive her’, no need to mention Clarke’s name, and cranky Bellamy saying ‘now is not the time’, and Madi ‘do you know how much she Cares about you’, and Bellamy ‘so much she left me to die in the fighting pits’… ‘That was different’. This is SO important and SO complicated. Of course Bellamy understood Clarke. Bellamy always had O as his responsibility, his number one priority, the person he would place above everyone else.
So what is different? There could be different perspectives, I don’t think Bellamy really knows or is willing to admit to himself why it is different. But I think, Bellamy was hurt. He thought Clarke no longer cared about him. He thought once again, that she had left Him. She let him go to Mt Weather in 2x09, she left him in 2x16, she stayed in Polis in 3x03, she left again in 3x05, she was willing to let O die in 4x11, and she ‘died’ in 4x13. And 6 years later, she did it again. It isn’t that she saved Madi. He gets that. He is upset because once again, he thinks his feelings for her are one-sided, that he means nothing to her. Which is why …
When Madi tells him about the radio calls, this changes everything. Clarke talked to him every single day for 6 years. This hits him like a ton of bricks. He really wasn’t expecting it. Finally, he realizes that he does mean Something to Clarke. What exactly Something is, is to be figured out. But that is the turning point, and after that revelation his demeanor completely changes. This is head canon, but on the ring, I think Bellamy thought of Clarke every day. And we know the influence she had on him. At last, Bellamy now knows he is important to her.
Side note: for Madi to say ‘I shouldn’t be telling you this’ also has a lot of meaning. Why shouldn’t she? Clarke should be the one, Madi knows this. So why isn’t Clarke? Basically, I think the calls mean more than a simple friendship, and Clarke doesn’t feel she has the right to tell him knowing he is in a relationship, and she doesn’t think he feels the same way.
Bellamy heroically outside the dropship, waiting for his friends. He is not leaving without them. And he tells Clarke, looking straight at her, ‘I can’t do that again’. Finally, she has a glimpse at the deep pain he felt for leaving her behind. And Clarke not closing the door on him/them. I really don’t think she could have, but maybe I am wrong.
Bellamy walking around the dropship looking for Clarke, finding her. We see Clarke’s relief that he is next to her, talking to her. They discuss vital matters, and we can see the gorgeous awkwardness, the underlying, unspoken matters that they will need to discuss at some point. But when Bellamy invites her to the bridge meeting, she is brave and brings up leaving him in Polis. “The commander ordered me not to be” which isn’t a lie, but he doesn’t mention the calls. And as Clarke turns away, we see him hesitate. He wants to say something, but stops himself. Meaning that it should most definitely be brought up in Season 6.
Again, the continuing understanding they have of one another with just a look as Clarke watches Bellamy talking to O before going into Kryosleep.
Clarke waking up, then Bellamy, and the soft ‘hey’. The importance of Monty and Harper choosing them and entrusting them with their message. Monty knows that they are their best together, and are the leaders the people need. Bellamy pulling Clarke into his side, crying, looking at the new planet, TOGETHER. The most heartbreaking and beautiful scene of the entire show for me. As devastating as it was that Monty and Harper are no longer with us, it was so magnificent knowing that they had a child together and the peaceful life they merited, and it made sense with their characters journey and arc.
In conclusion, I loved Bellarke’s journey and development in Season 5. I understood them. (well I think I did anyway lol)
Clarke only had interaction with Madi for 6 years, was talking to Bellamy on the radio, and longing for him to return. Then suddenly having her world completely thrown, not what she had envisioned, it was justified that she held back and was cautious when it came to her relationships. Everything was different. She had to rediscover herself, and next season I think we will see her mend herself and those relationships. I agree that Season 5 lacked interaction between Clarke and Raven/Murphy/Abby etc., but I really do think it made sense to the story, and I can’t wait to see those interactions in season 6.
Bellamy, living by Clarke’s words and her memory. Being the man she always knew he could be. Opening his heart up further, having moved on with E, and being happy with his now extended family. And then him having his world completely thrown as well with Clarke being alive and O being Bloodreina. He also had to rediscover himself, but in the end feeling ‘complete’ surrounded by loved ones. I think S6, we will see him living by Monty’s words and striving/continuing to be the Good Guy.
We also learnt that no distance or time can change the fact that Bellamy and Clarke are Soulmates (non-romantic atm, which is true). Ultimately, they found each other again, and forgave each other as they always do. They have an inexplicable pull towards each other, they need each other. They are not aware that they are each other’s Soulmate or can define the significance of their Relationship. He completes her, she completes him. They complete each other. Gaaaahhhhh they are just so clueless, I love them so much.
But we are getting there! After Season 5, going into Season 6, I think we have more Bellarke-romantic content than we have ever had. Over the seasons we have had varying versions of how they feel about each other, but as always with them, it is primarily through others: Trust, Care, Believe, Worry, Care, We can’t lose Clarke, Too bad you were Never that Devoted to Gina, Start with Bellamy Blake, Centres, You got it backwards, Bellamy among them, She is, Care, Go Save Him, Cares…
But now we have another step further with (indirectly again): the radio calls, Traitor Who You Love, and She doesn’t want You to make the Same Mistake. (and I have to say, also the longing and deep way they look at each other, and Clarke’s reactions to the B/E kisses)
We now know that Bellamy Loves Clarke, and Clarke Loves Bellamy. But of course, Bellamy doesn’t know that Clarke Loves him (but maybe has a super tiny inkling with the radio calls I really don’t know, well at least that she really cares for him) and Clarke definitely doesn’t know that Bellamy Loves her. She sees him in love with E, so S6 will very interesting with how they will approach our Love Triangle. I think Bellarke might continue to slow burn, but I am so happy with where they are right now.
So phew, anyway, I still have hope and am so excited for the next season!!!!!!!
