Bob Morley - Bob Morley ⟡ Bellamy Blake Rants #2: Bob Morley Protection Squad

kiss the wind · 02-27-2019, 06:51 PM

This thread's main purpose is giving fans of Bellamy Blake
and The 100 a place to openly and freely talk about their
doubts and problems with the show.

This thread will have NO drama. Lecks will be strongly enforcing this rule.

Here are simple guideline rules that everyone must follow.

Don't call other users out of their name because you do not agree. This is a rant thread, not everyone will agree. DO NOT bash a user over their ship preferences or how much they might like a certain character.

Actor/Actress bashing is a huge and will not be accepted. You should strictly stay on topic with the characters.

Don't go anti-discussion. For example, "I don't like the character." Is acceptable ✓ but, "I hate the character and wish he died." NOT acceptable ✘

Same with shipping. For example, "I just don't like this ship, because ..... " Is acceptable. ✓

"I hate this ship, and the fanbase for this ship is even worst." Not acceptable ✘ because you went on the disrespected the ship and called out an entire fanbase. You can talk about how much you dislike the way a couple is written or how dysfunctional (etc) the relationship is but know your limits.

Be respectful and proceed to the ranting, we are here to discuss we are not here to offend anyone

You gotta love the people who comment on the latest chapter of my fic only to let me know that they’ve stopped reading. Until Clarke has broken up with Finn. Until the “coast is clear” to start reading again.

I don’t even want readers like that. Never mind the fact that they’re missing out on stuff if they really are skipping over parts. Never mind the fact that there is plenty more going on with the storyline and they could, if they chose to, let me know their opinion on other aspects of what’s happening instead of just repeating themselves. Never mind the fact that it’s rude and immature AF to leave comments like that.

Maybe some of them thinking that I’m dragging this breakup out until the end of the fic, but I’m definitely not. That’s not even what it all leads up to. But in the meantime, if they wanna stop reading, why don’t they just stop? Why post freaking comments that they’ve stopped? It’s like they’re trolling the comment section. I have half the mind to tell them not to come back.

There's really no need to announce that they stopped reading. Especially when they're talking to each other in comments, and not even really addressing you. Plus the one who said they read comments for "closure" without reading the chapter????

Like, okay, I get their frustration with that aspect of the story. I do think there are points in previous chapters that were natural points at which Clarke could have broken up with Finn despite her hesitance and naiveté. However, I am not the one writing the story. You put so many months of time and effort writing this. It is a Bellarke story, but while I think Eventually highlighted Bellamy's personal emotional journey, this story by far highlights Clarke's personal development - it's just taking her a very long time, chapter wise, to get there. Timeline wise, what, she's been in New York for maybe eight months, tops? Something like that. She's been dealing with Cage, Roan, Echo, rude patrons, and now p*rn producers on top of Finn cheating on her. And realizing her feelings for Bellamy and how that changes her life quite a bit. I don't know. I'm frustrated with Finn still being in the picture, but I can rationalize it a bit.

Oh, yeah, definitely. I totally don’t mind people being frustrated with her, because come on, it’s supposed to be frustrating. If characters just do the right thing all the time and make no mistakes or ****ty choices along the way, it’s not much of a story. So I feel like every story I write is going to have some points of contention because I feel like they need to be there in order to tell a story that has some depth to it.

Like, I’m really happy with the way the smut scene in the last chapter turned out. I wanted to write like a sexy lovemaking type of scene with that one. So I was really excited to post it, but it seems like I can’t post any chapter without getting the same old comment repeated from some of these people, sometimes in very rude ways.
