Hi! Thanks for your detailed answer about why you love bellarke. I was wondering if you had any underrated scenes that you liked of the two of them?
I have a few and though it’s hard i think i can cut them down to about three or four?
i really really love the season 3 episode 11 moment when Clarke patches bellamy up after he goes out and talks to niylah and then in his anger, hits the barrel (i remember bob said he really fractured his hand then cause the director wouldn’t change it) and i just love the softness of this moment
I also like it very much because it mirrors him patching her hand earlier and in my very stupid fanfic induced mind this works very much like a romantic couply moment (also very grounder wedding like) where they patch each other’s scars and i think that works perfectly for season 3 because that is ESSENTIALLY what their ark is all about-
their scars and them being the only ones that could patch each other up and actually heal.
I love this moment because it’s in the dark, at night (awful to gif tbh) but that it shows, director-wise how the darkness engulfs them
that happens a lot in season 3 if you think about it, they are mostly in closed up spaces or outside in dark spaces, as if the darkness from within them and the feeling of being locked up without any way out, mirrors their mental health states.
i particularly love how she drags her hand over the bandage after she’s done in comfort like-i know your pain, bellamy, i feel it too, but i can help mend it and you can help mend mine. you can see her fingers linger mid air like should i do this, is it too much and then she slides it over-so nicely played, so soft and beautiful as well as the dialogue.
another underrated moment that i love a lot and i am sure people do not talk about at all is in 4x01 Echoes when they are in polis and discussing the ALIE situation and the radiation soaking them up with Kane, Indra and Abby. i love all their dialogue in 4x01 and also the ending where they leave and Kane and Abby say-the youth have inherited the earth but I somehow really love this moment because they are the only ones who know what is happening but there is this one moment
this BEAT where clarke looks at bellamy like-do I tell them? should I share with them? and you know that they’re already working as a perfect team again and all awful stuff are forgotten and bellamy gives her the barest of nods and moves a little in his place like a nervous fidgeting child-
and I just LOVE it because she doesn’t speak up before having his agreement on it, it just works so nicely. i’m pretty sure if he had shook his head she’d have lied but he agreed, they took a decision TOGETHER as always despite all events in season 3 and also
everyone else knows that clarke only ever shared this with bellamy, so it is big and important
Another moment I love is in again season 3 episode 12 where Clarke wants to risk her life and deal with Emerson on her own and Bellamy goes like-
he’s so angry it’s like BS, this ISNT happening, you’re not going to do this by yourself, NO effing WAY, fucking BS shut up clarkey wtf
And he comes up with a plan like no way, you distract him, i shoot him.
LOVE THIS. he shows her once again this season that she’s not alone. no matter the disagreements, no matter any of it, he has her back. she left him repeatedly that season until she came back home and he said okay, i was angry, i am angry still, but this isn’t happening
it’s pure fucking love idc what anyone says
and another moment that i love is in 3x16 where after she wakes up she shares with him what happened with ALIE and it’s just the way he looks at her and knows
SOMETHING IS DAMN WRONG and he’s like fuck
it just takes ONE look and he knows
and how his hand holds hers and helps her up, damn...that effing kills me so much
he’s so hurt and was just about strangled to death but he helps her up, he’s so soft and gentle about it
it is just this one look you know and he knows oh goddammit no
And the last one I will mention is one where Clarke is more concerned about Bellamy which doesn’t happen as often (dont come @ me, i am right)
and that is in again season 4 where they’re distributing the supplies with Raven and he says that he won’t be starving because he won’t be inside
And Clarke is like OFFENDED like wtf man SHUT UP you idiot of course you’re going to be inside, like BS. i love this moment because it’s always bellamy who insists on clarke staying alive and in this moment she says no-
you’re gonna live too. you deserve it.
Sorry for the long answer but this is mostly it!
