She deserved it

As much as I love Chelsey, and as much as I would have loved to see both Harper and Miller become mains, Luisa really deserved it more than anyone else, IMO.

So well said, Sam.

Luisa and Chelsey not being made regulars will always be a sore spot for me too.

I would add Jared but I have issues with his political allegiances so I find it harder to feel bad for him, BUT I will say that it's disheartening that yet another a POC actor got mistreated that way.

I AM ABOUT TO ****ING PULL MY HAIR OUT TODAY!



Jarrod/Miller got put on the back burner in such an obvious and gross way. That wasn't fair to him or to the viewers who craved the type of representation he could have provided. It's not enough to just have POC characters and LGBTQ characters exist within the narrative. They should have some agency in it, some relevance beyond just taking up space and saying a few throwaway lines here and there.


Hmm, trying to decide which blunt opinions rant to do next. I have so many ideas.

destroyer of worlds

I just ... the arrogance, ignorance and utter tone deafness, man. Enough said.

Miller was the token black rep and Mackson was the token LGBT pairing. Just yikes all around.

I’m doing blunt opinions on ships next.

Milk-tea

Unpopular opinion for me but I just didn’t care for Harper. I like the actress just not the character.

April7739

No, that’s fair. I didn’t think much of her until season 4. They never gave her as much to do as they could have, unfortunately.

destroyer of worlds

Same, Hannah. I mostly like Chelsey and hence, wanted Harper to have more screentime. Also, she was genuinely a nice/sweet character which is more than I can say than for some characters.

Stars Fade

I actually don't think Harper evolved more until the 5th season? She's just always there.

destroyer of worlds

I agree, Adie. But that's more on the writers than anything else.

stlavin95

Really looking forward to that, lol

April7739

No, I think definitely the 4th season, because that's when they gave her her own storyline.

I will eventually rant about the ships, but I just have to say this for now:

Every day, the CL fandom finds new ways to disgust me. Today it’s somebody getting mad that their art (which was legally purchased off of their Etsy by a buyer and then donated to TRP Foundation) is being included in the auction for Bob’s birthday. And it seems that what is pissing this person off the most is that TRP Foundation tweeted that the show ended at season 6 with Bellamy and Clarke both finding the happiness they deserved. They’re upset that TRPFoundation isn’t acknowledging alien!Lexa as Clexa endgame. They literally demanded that their art be removed from the auction. All over petty ship stuff! This is ridiculous! Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I see this!

I know that there are good people in that fandom, but every day I just see more bad ones, I just find more people to block. Some of these rude, ignorant, hateful tweets they put out get hundreds of likes. And it’s very discouraging. I feel horrible for the nice people in that fandom, because the bad apples are so much louder, and the reputation of the fandom as a whole is just atrocious. I’ve been disappointed in the Bellarke fandom before, yes, and I’ve done my fair share of reporting those bad apples when I saw them, too. But it is just NOT COMPARABLE. And if they think that Eliza doesn’t know about their reputation, they’re deluding themselves. But then again, they don’t care about Eliza anymore since she—god forbid—married the love of her life. God, it’s so juvenile and pointless and ridiculous! I’ve never see anything like it before from any other fandom. The bad CLs should be absolutely ashamed of themselves, but at this rate, they never will be.
