Sometimes I wonder if Bellamy and Clarke remember every single moment and words they exchanged like we do…
Like… does Bellamy remember how he roared when he jumped on Dax while he was firing at Clarke? Does Clarke remember her whisper “he’s killing him” as she watched Tristan knocking Bellamy down? Does Bellamy remember how relieved he was when Clarke made it back in Camp Jaha? Or does Clarke remember how her whole face light up when she saw Bellamy after the she escaped Mt. Weather?
Does Clarke remember the sting of “I was being weak. It’s worth the risk” and the hurt in Bellamy’s eyes? Does Bellamy how his hips danced when the first person he spoke to from inside Mt. Whether was Clarke because of course she would be there waiting for him to radio back! And does Clarke remember how she tried to hide her panic from the other when they lost contact with Bellamy? Or the sigh she let out once they reunited inside the mountain and he was alive? Do they remember how they were fighting back their tears as they were saying goodbye?
Does Clarke remember how socked she was when out of nowhere Bellamy appears to save her after three months? Or how relieved Bellamy was when he found her alive? Does he remember Clarke begging for his life and then getting knocked out? What about the pain from the stab wound on his leg? Does Clarke remember Bellamy’s face when she told him she couldn’t go back with him? And does Bellamy remember how he froze when suddenly Clarke was back, searching for him, her best friend and co-leader? Do they remember how they fall back to working together so easily? Do they remember all the conversations they had about forgiveness and all they time they were willing to forgive the other but not themselves?
Does Bellamy remember how stunned he was when Clarke told him that she doesn’t trust Roan with her life but he’ll be there and she trust him? Or how worried he was when his team got caught and their plan failed? How desperate he was to find Clarke because he knew she was in danger? Heck, does Clarke remember how she couldn’t form any words once she heard her own mother ordering to bring Bellamy up in order to break her and tell them the pass phrase? Does Bellamy remember Clarke reaching for his hand while she was about to get into the City of Light and how tight he hold it? Or the panic on his face at first when they thought something was wrong and Clarke’s life was in danger but then everything was okay and he was determinate to keep everyone away from her while she was trying to save them.
Does Clarke remember how Bellamy freaked out when he found Echo holding a sword on Clarke’s throat? Or how a weight was lifted from her shoulder once he wrote her name on that list? How it felt to save each other? Does Clarke remember how worried she was every time Bellamy’s team was late from a mission? Does Bellamy remember how his hand was couldn’t stop trembling at the thought of Clarke’s dead body being under that tart by the river? Or later that the grounder threatened to kill her while driving and he couldn’t do much other than keep driving and trying to figure a way to save her? The sigh he let out and the smile he had on his face once that was over?
Does Bellamy remember how getting betrayed by Clarke felt when she and Jaha stole the bunker and left his sister outside? Or the way he looked at her when she pointed a gun at him? Does he remember the way she sobbed and lowered the weapon because she couldn’t do it after all? Do they remember how awkward was for them to be at the same room after that or how easy it was to make up? How stupidly Bellamy crashed the rover because he was smiling at Clarke?
Does Bellamy remember how freaking worried he was when Clarke took off her helmet to save Emori? Or how sure Clarke was that she was going to die anyway? Do they remember how sad their conversation before Plaimfaya was and everything that happened after that?
(I’m not asking if Bellamy remembers how it felt to close the door and leave Clarke behind because I’m sure it’s a memory that will be with him forever.)
Anyway… and this guys, is why I can’t sleep at night. Thank you for coming, see you next week same time :)
This is so beautiful!

Percy that is no way to take care of children!
Percy reclined on the sofa, trying to rest for a split second. He focused his eyes on the television, but not without noticing a curse word written on the wall. One of his astonishingly well-mannered children had written “butt” on the wall in purple marker. After he figured out which of his twin devils had done it, he’d make them scrub the entire wall clean with their tongue. But that was a problem for a later date. All three of his children were upstairs, playing a ame that involved a lot of screaming and shouting. As long as they weren’t directly in front of him, bothering them and making noise, he was able to tune them out for a few seconds.

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!
Actually, more Percabeth cuz Magnus Chase is Annabeth's cousin
"There will be no more Percy Jackson books after Blood of Olympus" "There are rumors that Percabeth might die" "BoO is the last book from Percy Jackson’s Universe" "No more Percy Jackson" "No more Percabeth" "No more Greek Mythology"
I can so see this!
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.
I'm an avid reader, but I discovered Percy Jackson late. I was in fourth grade when I was recommended The Lightning Thief by my local librarian. Curious, I stopped by to pick up a copy. Once I got started, I was intrigued. I couldn't stop. It was like another Harry Potter type of excitement I hadn't felt since I started Harry Potter in first grade. Percy spoke to me like no one else. I shipped Percabeth since the beginning, they are my ultimate OTP. That summer, I read the five originals and the first two of HoO, since they were the only out. As soon as I finished TSoN, I preordered TMoA, and waited 4 months for its arrival. On October 4th, 2012, I received TMoA. I was crying for days over the ending. I preordered THoH as soon as I was finished on October 6th, 2012. After waiting a grueling year and four days, I received THoH on October 8th, 2013. I finished in two days again. Now, I have waited 363 days for TBoO, and I will get it in 2 1/2. On October 7th, 2014. Many are saying its the end, but there never shall be one. Because Percy Jackson lives on! Forever in our hearts! You are only truly in the fandom if you believe that books are everlasting. Especially this one. 💋
I’m so tired, Tess. I only wanted pleasant dreams for once.
