They joined hands. So the world ended. And the next one began.

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

May we meet again.

Okay but the importance of romanticising soft kind thoughtful boys who are open about their feelings and sweet in general cannot be overstated. More romantic leads who check in on their girls , who don’t care about being seen as “whipped” , who go out of their way to bond with little sisters and moms and dads , and who don’t try to change the girl they’re with at all. We need to romanticise soft kind boys, so that young girls see soft kind boys as the ideal romantic partner. Teach young girls through media that being with the asshole guy isn’t what they need, teach young girls to find kind boys who actually talk to them about real stuff, who watch the movies they like, who never tease them or mock them, who stand up for them and are never ever embarrassed of them, who notice their smarts and their personality, who understand their fears and their struggles, and actually care about them. If we make that the ideal Love Interest™️ character more young girls will see that as someone to strive for, and maybe less of them will settle for guys who treat them poorly because of it.

I know a lot of us wanted THIS SEASON to be the one where Bellamy finds out about the radio calls and spends the entire season pining after Clarke while not sure what to do about Echo… I think we’ve been set up to do that next season. 

And by doing this they’ve made the stakes a lot higher. 

Before it would have been just an immediate regression to what had happened 6 years before praimfire 2.0 - and would have made the separation and the six year gap entirely pointless.

Now we’ve had at least some time for them to hit the ground, reacquaint themselves to each other, and be shocked by how much is different and yet how much is the same. 

It’s also given the audience more time to accept the new and important relationships in Clarke and Bellamy’s lives. 

Although it removes the momentum that had gathered by the end of season 4, I think it will make what comes next all the more rewarding by how hard we will see Clarke and Bellamy fight for it.
