Brain dump your thoughts on Clarke’s paintings for me boo <3
Sure thing boo <3
First of all, the fact that it’s her cell I thought we won’t see after the spacekru went back to earth, because I hoped for Bellamy to grieve in there, but…
This is way better.
At first, I thought those are the painting of her regrets. Or loses. Or painful moments in her life. But as I looked deeper… Those are all of her memories. The most iconic ones. The biggest. The most impactful.
The foam prank being there? Wells and Finn giving her the pencil? Lexa in her bed? Those are happy memories of people she experienced most of it in pain. Maybe except Wells. He was her boo, he’s an exception.
But they are everywhere and they make ME dizzy. Not to mention what it must have been for Clarke.
My favorite ones are those with Bellamy, but also happy Octavia, Madi in collar because it shows how much it matters to her and how much she can’t get it away from her consciousness. Also, Finn and Wells are gems.
Those paintings will fade with time, as Clarke will fight her way through. And as @still-watching and @sun-breath pointed out, Bellamy’s ones will be staying for the longest. She won’t forget it again!
And maybe I’m adding this out of the question, but the song that plays in the background, has such lyrics, besides those we hear in the episode:
I don’t belongSlowly slip back inside of my mindWhere the weather’s warmShielding me from all judgemental eyesSo I won’t lie to youBecause I know what love isAnd that’s why ours is goodNo I won’t lie to youBecause I know what love isAnd that’s why ours is good
Clarke sees all the thing she’s done, and she’s experience, and Bellamy will be the key indeed. She loves him, she doesn’t have to lie to him, everyone else has judged her, and she indeed felt like she hadn’t belonged to them.
The paintings are her story in one room. She gets to see it with her glossy eyes, in the place where it all began. It breaks my heart that she has to face it. To see faces from a while ago that she almost forgot.
But outside the episode, the paintings are amazing, sized by the importance or weight in her mind. The details are killing me!
(throw me the ask about last episodes!)
