Finally catching up, on this thread at least :
Quote:
I love it. Kindred spirits indeed. Quote:
And that's also part of why I felt that Clarke's other relationships would not have worked out, regardless of whether they survived or not. She was never truly friends with either one of them, first and foremost, whereas that foundation has been there with Bellamy from the start. They've lived through many horrific/painful/heartbreaking moments together. And for self growth and development, I still feel strongly that you need that strong bond on a deeper level first before it becomes something of a romantic nature (if that makes sense). Quote:
Again, not saying that she chose Bellamy over humanity because that is doing a disservice to Clarke and oversimplifies the scenario but there were various factors which impacted her decision not to shoot/kill him to stop him and I believe that one of those factors is her not being to hurt him, no matter what he was about to do (and even if it goes against her own decisions/way of thinking at that point in time). Quote:
Quote:
Her going to Niylah, that is easier/safer than facing Bellamy in that moment ... so I can see why it happened. Welcome back, BTW. Quote:

That's lovely. I remember that another BC scene (this season) felt like it was cut short. Does anyone remember what it was? Gosh, my memory is terrible.
And hey, Steph. Just saw your post. __________________

I don't remember, but it felt like they kinda slowed things down once they got the renewal mid-March.

The first half did feel like it moved faster ... with the list scene and all. But I do remember us talking about perhaps Clarke seeing a bit of "rejection" from Bellamy/him pulling back a bit after the hand nuzzle and that's why she pulled away from him a bit after that too. And it's telling too, how emotional/vulnerable that she is around him (particularly in that scene) when she's never acted like that with anyone else.

I kept thinking, they will have to address what he was going say to her at some point, but still nothing. They got separated, got drugged and kidnapped, held at gun point - it's been high level angst ever since - and now there's even more things to address between them. |

Ok I totally need want to know what was edited!
Btw, do you think when she said "what I always have to do" (or whatever) and was pointing the gun at Bellamy, she was thinking back to Finn as well? She had to kill someone she apparently loved, to save everyone else. __________________

Regarding Bob’s comments, the man is spot on. Neither Bellamy or Clarke are in a good place right now. They each have so much to go through for themselves before they can have a truly healthy relationship. I know it seems to be the consensus but I wanted to point this out again because this is a part of why I am okay with Bellarke never becoming romantic. Sure, I’ve said it’s because what has already been developed is so well written and satisfying, and that is certainly true. But the idea that neither is truly ready for a relationship goes hand in hand with that.
Because what they already have could be ruined if they move into a relationship before either is truly ready for it. I loved this from Bob: Quote:
Now I’m not going to diagnose either Bellamy or Clarke with depression, though I do believe they each experience it to some degree from time to time along with some other elements of PTSD. I think they can each recognize that in the other which serves their ability to open up and be vulnerable with each other, but they each still have a long way to go. And this actually ties in to something Margaux brought up that I wanted to expound upon. Quote:
Her romantic ventures with both Finn and Lexa were problematic for her path to healing. In each case she began to open up to then be betrayed. Despite each betrayal she still cared for them. I think she could have gotten back to a place to open up to Finn, but then he went bonkers, and she killed him. This is probably why I struggled as I did believing she could then jump into something with Lexa - especially after Lexa’s betrayal as well. But I suppose she was vulnerable after Finn. I think she intended to close herself off again but found in Lexa someone she could relate to. Clarke keeps hitting this wall each time she attempts to open up to someone. And then there is Bellamy. She’s opened up to him but has stayed away from consciously giving him her heart. I wouldn’t say that she fears that if she does he’ll end up betraying her or dying, but he’s become a constant in her life. I think in her logical mind she doesn’t want to mess with something that’s working. Unlike Clarke, who grew up with an open heart and has now closed it, Bellamy grew up having to keep closed but since coming to Earth has been able to allow his open nature to come forth. Bellamy is ruled by his heart. And he lays his heart on the line and doesn’t fear letting people in. But he’s still damaged. And though he’s opened himself to others he’s not relying on them for his validation. He’s been through and done enough to know that at the end of the day he’s the one to live with his choices - be they good or bad. And he still struggles with his choices. He’s still learning. He’s learning to move on from his poor choices and not let them bog him down. He’s learning to take the affirmations others provide and allow it to buoy him, but not rely on it. They’re both learning how to live with themselves and the choices they’ve had to make. They each need to find that balance of loving themselves. allowing others to love them, and providing that love for another before they can be in a place to really be in a healthy relationship with each other. __________________
Well maybe the real God uses tricks, you know? Maybe he's not omnipotent. He's just been around so long he knows everything.

Kenni, I agree very much about the symbolism of Bellamy opening doors and Clarke closing them.
