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!
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.

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 :)
As anyone who follows me knows, I have been obsessing over this movie since it came out on Friday. I now love it with a fiery passion and I will fight anyone who talks shit about. Having said that here are some things that I’d like to see in the sequel (because it WILL happen and I HAVE to believe that)
Lara Jean walks up to Peter in front of his friends, says “Hi” and kisses him hello and he grins at her and he is star struck because the whole “no kissing” thing is officially out the window
Lara Jean and Peter go on their first real date and they show PDA but it’s in a cute way…i.e. holding hands, more hand in back pocket, kisses on cheeks, snuggling up to each other…but seriously when are they not cute?
Peter accidentally finds Lara Jean’s envelope full of condoms from her Dad and says something like, “Damn, Covey…if I knew you wanted it that bad all you had to do was ask” and she’s embarrassed and they have a good laugh over it
Lara Jean and Peter have a hot makeout session after Peter lifts her up and puts her to sit on a counter top and when she asks what he’s doing he says, “Well you’re so short, I had to split the difference” then she rolls her eyes at him and pulls him down to her. This is definitely all that I could think of them doing when I saw Lara Jean sitting on his kitchen counter and Peter holding on to the counter near the sink for dear life so that he wouldn’t reach for her
Lara Jean proudly waltzing up to Peter and showing him her new instagram feed that is chock full of pictures of the two of them
More movie nights but this time they are cuddling and Lara Jean’s head is in Peter’s lap and he’s stroking her hair
Peter giving Lara Jean driving lessons and sitting in the passenger seat because he trusts her
Lara Jean and Peter going to the Korean grocery store together to stock up on goodies
Lara Jean telling Peter that she loves him and Peter smugly saying, “I know.” Lara Jean says, “What?” Peter says, “What? Don’t tell me you’ve never seen Star Wars! Okay add it to the list.” Lara Jean: “Don’t you have something to say to me too?” “Covey, you know I love you, c’mere” He kisses her and says, “Okay now add it to our movie list.” She writes it down and says, “Okay fine but now you have to watch Sleepless in Seattle with me.” (Because that is one of her favourite movies in the books)
Peter’s promposal to Lara Jean from the books with him trying to re-enact the ending scene from Sleeping Seattle
Lara Jean and Peter’s prom night and Peter being so thunder struck by how gorgeous Lara Jean looks that he can’t even say that she looks pretty. All he can do is stare at her in amazement and say “Wow”.
Feel free to add to this list <3
From script to screen.

what makes camp half-blood and camp jupiter different you ask?
well…
Okay I’m usually not one of those “ha I’ve been a fan the whole damn time” people but I can honestly say that being a Sansa fan since s1 has been so damn rewarding as the seasons go on.
Like obviously the writing isn’t great towards her (or any female really lbr) but what they give to her for successes are so satisfying. Sansa was criticized and hated for being too whiny, defenseless, too weak and ultimately too important. And yet, this “unimportant” character?
Sansa gets to say the long-awaited “winter is here” line. Sansa gets to kill off Ramsay, arguably the worst villain since Joffrey. Sansa gets to rule Winterfell in season 7. Sansa is the first Stark sibling to get the initial reunion scene with another Starkling - all three times.
It’s been years in the making and it sure as hell hasn’t been perfect but seeing Sansa get to do these iconic things after people have been calling her useless is the greatest payoff e v e r.
