Thanks for the new thread, April.

This one seems like it will be fairly fast-paced again with lots going on.

For some reason, I don’t anticipate much at all. But I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong a lot so far this season. (I thought Bellamy and Co. would be on the Eligius ship. I thought Bellamy would perhaps be with someone in the prisoner ship instead of Echo. I thought he wouldn’t see Clarke yet in 5x03. I thought I wouldn’t be this mad at Octavia this early.)

Semi-OT, but I need some more new smutty BC drawings.

OT: I feel like I can say this here more safely than I can in other threads: gosh, I hate Octavia so much.

It was a good, albeit fast-paced episode overall.

Where is Niylah???

I wish I could draw. Then I would draw you every smut scene I’ve ever written. Especially . . . well, you know which one especially.

Girl, I get it right now. It makes me really sad, but I cannot excuse the way she’s treating Bellamy. I’m having a hard time even explaining it.

I don’t know. I’m really nervous.

That would be amazing.

I'm sad that Octavia has Miller brainwashed.

She definitely has Kara brainwashed, that’s for sure.

This whole arc that she’s on makes the ending of Seaosn 3 a lot more poignant and heartbreaking: Bellamy watching his sister step onto that path of darkness, unable to stop it.

Just watched the episode, Octavia got worse, didn't think that was possible. Can't stand her right now, it's like they tried to create another Lexa, but failed miserably, and basically threatening Bellamy? I DON'T THINK SO. That Blake sibling scene at the end made me feel so uncomfortable. I really don't like how Bellamy and Clarke aren't the leaders, so to speak. Like Bellamy and Clarke have done so much for their people and the world in general and this is how they're treated??? I don't like it.

On the up side, BELLARKE ARE THRIVING. Sharing rations, The head and the heart, THE HEAD AND THE HEART.

I also loved the Madi/Murphy stuff, "who's the hobbit" and "I thought you'd be funnier" I love how Madi knows all about them, sort of like they're characters to her though she needs better taste, Octavia is her favourite? she might have to rethink that

Also, I love Echo.


I'll add more later. This is all for now. I am still absorbing.

Now you know I’m not really a Lexa fan, but I think I might prefer Lexa to this version of Octavia. I mean, at least Lexa was always a Bellamy Blake fangirl.

Needless to say, Octavia has dropped off my favorites list, and I’m kind of sad about it, as I had her ranked as highly as #5 last season. My one little shred of hope after last night is that little wave she gave to Monty. Perhaps the Octavia I like is just barely still in there.

You know, on the other board, we were debating whether or not the relationship between Bellamy and Octavia is toxic now or not, and while I was hesitant to attach that word to it, I’m not hesitant anymore. It is. At least for Bellamy. He’ll forgive her, because he loves her unconditionally, but right now, I wouldn’t blame him if he were to never forgive her.

I loved that we got subtler scenes this week after two episodes in a row of bigger ones.

You know, if it wasn’t for previous seasons, I wouldn’t have anything against her right now. I’d probably be Finndifferent since she hasn’t really done a whole lot.
