Same.

I don't know whether to be hopeful or not. I know I should keep my expectations on the low, esp. that I have no luck when it comes to ship and it usually ends up like this:

But I'm also getting excited over what we got.

Agreed with this - if this actually happens, us not seeing how it all went down is a ripoff and doesn't pay enough of an homage to the friendship we've seen them have since season 1.

This, too. Obviously I'm all over Bellarke, but if Braven happens then I'm going to have to release Bellarke and these two should stay together. Or, if not, I'd want them to break up way before getting back to earth and before seeing Clarke again (assuming that she would have any effect on their relationship).

Honestly, if they don't make Braven become romantically involved, I do at least want to see flashbacks of how they rely on each other as friends and just their bond on that level. Don't get me wrong, I can see the writers pairing up Becho on the Ark, but Raven and Bellamy established at least a close friendship that could only develop further on the Ark.

Yes - I'm also all for platonic but super-close friendships on this show, and this would be such an awesome one to explore over six years.

The fact that it's the two of them at the end scene on the Ark and not Bellamy with Echo or even Bellamy with Murphy or anything says a lot. I feel like there is setup there for them to develop romantic Braven.

And her "always" makes me suspicious too. I'm soooooo conflicted, because while I like Braven, I'm so into Bellarke that I don't know how I feel about this

DAMN SHIPS.

Now... if there's a way to have really well-written romantic Braven, then of course I want that.

Well said, Amelia.

The friendships on the show are pretty well written (especially compared to the romantic ones) so I'd take that option too ... unless the writers are ready to commit to giving the Braven relationship the respect it deserves, if it happens.

I'm on board the platonic train i think... i love the idea of them together, i really do, but if its just gonna be temporary then id rather just they stay friends.

Karma Police · 05-27-2017, 03:36 PM

I'm on the they are in love train.

kiss the wind · 05-27-2017, 05:30 PM

I want to be on the Braven in love train, but if I don't get to see it develop (ie, if we do not get substantial flashbacks of that development over the time jump), I'd be so mad. I don't want to just see them suddenly together in season five and not see how it actually progressed and happened. So, I'm on the romantic Braven train hoping upon hope that we see A) flashbacks of how it got to that point and B) respected, well-written relationship that doesn't get sidelined for the sake of Bellamy/Clarke once Team Space gets back to the ground.

I'm so paranoid about how this is going to go.

**Alexa** · 05-27-2017, 07:03 PM

IDK how i feel honestly, I'm torn think. Because if it does happen I wont lie, Ill be kinda happy.

I guess I want a FWB type thing but id be great with just really close friends. I sorta want raven/murphy now.

There's so many lovely new Braven GIFsets, it's like Christmas.

Karma Police · 05-28-2017, 08:29 AM

He has always been encouraging her. He's her no. 1 fan.

kiss the wind · 05-28-2017, 10:23 AM

We got some potential good titles out of this episode, too.

He really does encourage her a lot. Despite their bickering and teasing in the early seasons, he's always supported her.

destroyer of worlds · 05-28-2017, 04:53 PM

So many new titles for sure.

I love that they got to work/interact more with each other this season, too. Last season was lacking in that area.

the1marie · 05-28-2017, 07:48 PM

I'm at least hopeful that there will be a lot of Braven interaction next season compared to past seasons

"Started from the bottom, now we're here" fits them so much. They went from literally hating each other to becoming one of the best developed relationships. Bellamy has encouraged her so many times, never doubted her. I love that he never pushes her, never tries to pressure her, just calmly encourages her.

destroyer of worlds · 05-29-2017, 08:12 AM

I think that they're pretty similar in the sense that they doubt themselves way more than they should (especially Raven) so it's great that Bellamy gives her that push to always believe in herself.

Hopefully, we can see her doing that for him too.

This was such a beautifully shot scene
