Of course I think this may be why I love them so much. Not that I don’t enjoy cutesy moments with couples, but I also want the real. And in the real world life is messy.

That's a great shipping tag line

I agree though

All of the really game-changing moments seemed to be morbid.

In 2x09 Clarke was able to figure out that the poison was in the cup but it was Bellamy who then immediately figured out it was Gustus and why. Then in the finale he knew it was Dante that had the idea to make the deal with Lexa. Bellamy just gets people. And this leads to the next point.

Because Bellamy gets people he knows how to explain a situation and how it will directly affect them in a way Clarke just doesn’t seem to get. And perhaps that’s because she’s all about the big picture rather than the individual. Given the discussion with Roan she told him she could give him an Ice Nation Commander but wasn’t keying into why he wanted that. Despite the fact that he’d previously told her he wants what’s best for his people - Ice Nation. Bellamy immediately got that the key to Roan was his own people. So he explained that it didn’t matter what clan, didn’t matter if there was an Ice Nation Commander, because ALIE was coming for EVERYONE - Ice Nation included. He got to the heart of Roan’s concern.

This makes me even more irritated with Clarke’s piss poor arguments to Luna. I think that if Bellamy had been the one to talk to Luna things may have turned out very differently. Bellamy just knows how to relate to people better. Somehow Clarke always comes off as this stuck up know-it-all. I wouldn’t listen to her either just to piss her off and hope to prove her wrong. I can be contrary like that sometimes.

Great points

I think you and I are a lot alike in that aspect, I totally would've not listened to Clarke. Not because the things she'd say wouldn't make sense, but because of the way she'd say it

kenni727 · 06-25-2016, 01:33 PM

Right? Clarke is smart and has some really good points. But she's not always relatable. She's closed off from others and can be a bit standoffish. And that often can then be interpreted as a bit stuck up. Bellamy is just more down to earth. Even in early season one - I think it was 1x02 - as the two are making arguments to the 100 Clarke seemed more "I know what's best for you so you MUST listen to me." While Bellamy was, "I care about you. I'm like you. We can do this together."

And I think it would be a great tag line too. It's like their the Bonnie and Clyde of the apocalypse.

Yay, new thread! Thanks for starting it, Paula!

I will go back and get caught up now.

I really meant to stay awake last night for a few more hours, but my body has just not recuperated from my little excursion this week.

girl under the floor · 06-25-2016, 02:00 PM

Well, Kenni you've just pinpointed why I didn't like Clarke from the start

Hey April

April7739 · 06-25-2016, 02:21 PM

3. If you had to summarize Bellarke's relationship in just ONE SINGLE WORD, what would it be? (And just for the fun of it, let's make it even more challenging: "Together" is not an option.)

I love how, for this question, only a handful of people actually managed to keep it to just one word.

Kenni's Symbiotic was a good choice, very unique. Paula's Trust is one that immediately came to my mind as well.

I think I'm going to go with . . . Love.

Sarah, I'm down for the handporn Survivor whenever! And eyesex survivor after that sounds good. (Heads up, I'm going to get a Bob Morley Hair Survivor going in his thread soon.

)

And I see that I've only answered one set of your questions!

I will answer the second set today and respond to what you wrote!

Alexa, I can't believe you stayed up so late.

I mean, I can because you're you, but . . . DAMN! That's impressive.

Lee, thanks for posting the vids! First matchup was an easy vote for me. Second matchup was harder.

This is a really interesting point, Kenni. I tend to agree with you. Bellamy has this charisma that can't be taught. When he talks, people not only listen to him, they want to listen to him. He knows how to word things in a way that appeals to people's emotions and motivates them much more than any stoic, logical argument ever will. But this is a good thing in terms of Bellarke, because Clarke can come up with these great ideas, and Bellamy can help her find a way to execute them. Always better TOGETHER.

Thanks for the inspiration Kenni

I was just watching a show and thought of almost the same exact thing.

A family that murders together, stays together.

April7739 · 06-25-2016, 02:46 PM

Cool, did you make that, Paula?

girl under the floor · 06-25-2016, 02:48 PM

Yes I did

Just in case anyone cares, I also made the top banner found here
And while you're there, throw in a congratulations

Midnight, off to bed!

April7739 · 06-25-2016, 02:58 PM

Goodnight, Paula!

Hi I'm back!

I voted in this round of the video deathmatch ... and

for the result so far!
Loved your discussions and thoughts but I am too tired to comment now, will do that hopefully tomorrow.

Anyone still around?
Great gifset April

Leelith · 06-25-2016, 03:44 PM

I'm here.

Love that gif set.

April7739 · 06-25-2016, 04:01 PM

Yes, Kate, I'm here! I'll have to pop out

soon, though, because I have to fix my hair. It's doing its trademark Season 3 Clarke Griffin thing again.

Speaking of great gifsets . . . I stumbled across this on Tumblr today, and I think it's absolutely AMAZING.

Probably one of my favorite gifsets I've seen in a long, long time.

This description has me now thinking of Clarke and Bellamy as David and Jack from Newsies.

Hey April!

Gaahhh more gif induced feels

I'm been going through fanfic collections to annotate my list right now and I realize that I have read sooo many, it's crazy!

I will not be around for much longer tonight, I am wrecked.
Ah yes, your hair

I hope it's going well. If I remember correctly, it was rather long and involved to get it to what you want it to be?

ETA hey Kenni!
