Ahhh

he makes me so so happy

i’m gonna put it this way: bellamy has realized his feelings for clarke. fact. but he feels like he’s betraying e/cho, so to compensate for that, he’s pushing clarke away w his words. he needs that emotional distance because he doesn’t want to be tempted, and let’s be real, bellamy blake is as honorable as men get. even as he tries to push clarke away w his words, he’s still keeping her close by doing things he otherwise wouldn’t. he can’t stand to lose clarke, even though he’s trying so hard to push her away. this is the angst that i came for. this is the bellarke that i love, and i’m so ready for them to talk this shit out in the last two episodes of the season. it’s confirmed that bellamy and clarke end on good terms this season, so i have so much faith. tbh, i don’t think we’ll get an admission of feelings to each other in the next four episodes, but i so see one of them canonically confirming feelings for the other to someone else (even though that’s lowkey already happened). anyway, moral of the story, bellamy said that shit abt family because he’s afraid of losing the people who kept him sane up in the ring while he was mourning clarke. he also is hella honorable to his gf. SIDENOTE: anyone else think that he’s pushing clarke away because he can’t handle losing her again? especially now that feelings are legitimately involved. so he pushes her away so that he can’t be hurt again, but does everything to save her bc he CAN’T lose her

But no, can we talk about how timid mousy little Tessa Gray took not one, but TWO virginities, both from some of the hottest Shadowhunters in all of Shadowhunter history, and not only that, they just happen to be PARABATAI, and she still manages to marry both of them without it being scandalous. TESSA GRAY, MY FRIENDS!

Okay, final verdict:

John Ambrose > Peter Kavinsky

BUT

Lara Jean + Peter Kavinsky > Lara Jean + John Ambrose

i can’t believe they played with our jake’s emotions like THAT

Bellarke and THOSE over the shoulder shots.

All season, we’ve had many, many shots of Clarke from over Bellamys shoulder.

Right from the very first reunion hug, they shot her face from over his shoulder. But at this point they are facing each other.

It’s only after he tries to get her to open up at the campfire, and she doesn’t,

the shots are then filmed from over his shoulder, but his back is turned to her. (Or could it be the arrival of his girlfriend?)

Anyway, there’s a lot of them. She’s always there, that’s the way they chose to frame it, as if she’s always in the back of his mind.

We all know the infamous over Bellamys shoulder shot of Clarke, reacting to the first time she sees Bellamy and Echo kiss.

Then there’s Clarke making a deal with Diyoza in 5x07:

They also film her from over his shoulder as he walks away from her in 5x09, leaving her screaming for him as he’s on his way to give Madi the flame.

They use it a lot. But he never turns back to look at her.

Not until this moment.

Above, here Clarke is again, over Bellamys shoulder in 5x13. This is when Madi decides to go and talk to him. And then she tells him. About the radio calls, about how much Clarke cares, and finally, he turns to look at her.

He’s finally ready to look at her, and acknowledge that she’s always there, in the back of his mind.

Again, as time is running out and they are waiting for their friends, as Clarke calls for him, they film her over his shoulder. Again, he turns to look at her, and tells her exactly why he can’t go. He can’t do it again. It was too painful.

Later, when they’re safe, he lets her know she’s forgiven and asks her to come to the bridge. But as he walks away, again, he looks back over his shoulder at her.

Like he wants to say something.

And again, once more, on the bridge, there she is. She’s there because he asked her to be. He needs her there.

And the final ending shot, over both their shoulders, of their new world. Bellamy is the one that brings her in towards him.

Sorry for the crappy screenshots, but I thought this was worth throwing out there, it’s a very interesting framing choice! If anyone finds any more let me know, I’ll add them to the list!
