no (romantic) dynamic will be more satisfying than villain trying to pull hero to the dark and hero trying to pull villain to the light and both parties having the influence to make the other question their worldview and power 😭😭😭
LOL DIYOZA AND MCCREARY REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE SAVING SOME NORMAL FOLKS BC CLARKE AND BELLAMY LOOK CLEAN AND WELL FED AND WERE CHILL... AND THEN THEY SHOW UP.... AND THEY HAVE THIS HOT TOPIC PRINCESS WITH SWORDS
#THE100
sdflkgsdfg Eliza really made it seem like this whole season was turbulent for bellarke when it's been lukewarm for 8 episodes and then we got dropkicked 47 times in one hour.
jason had 13 episodes to try his hardest to make us like echo and failed so deeply sasjdfaks actually to be fair he had 4 seasons and he couldn't manage that... and this is a show where people literally stan characters with no purpose... like jackson
a very weird & fascinating problem i have with romancé readers is that while i get that they FEEL denigrated by the rest of the literary world, their woe-is-me attitude is hard to take seriously because it never feels like punching up with the most lucrative genre in the world
dude... your show is on the CW... if there’s ever been a network more focused on young romance, i can’t think of it. your show isn’t on HBO, no matter how hard you try to pretend it is.
"you were good to him" LMAO FUCK off with this bullshit, she's seen literally literally about as much of their relationship as WE HAVE, and we are all rationally able to determine that she is NOT good for him, so thanks for being a bullshit mouthpiece
not to sound bitter but it’s funny that zeke standing in front of raven is being read as protective in a romantic way but bellamy doing that back in season 2 wasn’t asjsjdjcjd
What a sad and tragic ending to such a beautiful, unique ship that embodied all the important things you want in a relationship. Understanding one another, compassion for one another even when you disagree, a friendship for a lifetime and obviously just two really hot people
the “short women are enabling pedophilia by existing” crowd is so filled with bitter jealousy over something so inconsequential that y’all wanna create a fake oppressed identity for why people don’t like you when it’s not because you’re tall, it’s because you’re an asshole
Always makes me laugh when authors get angry that the bestselling books of the year are smutty, simply written, exciting, romantic, fun and diverse. Don't writers realise that readers just want a good time? Get over yourselves. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU BEING CLEVER!
i know this is about the mr & mrs smith announcement but the fact that all hollywood offers us now is conventionally attractive people kissing is so fucking sad lmao there's just no ROMANCE anymore!!!! there's no reason for me to root for any couple!!!
like i think he genuinely does not get why we don't like echo... like he thinks we're bitter shippers (WHICH I VERY MUCH AM LMAO) but like... there's layers to my hatred, dude
the "heart and the head" scene from 5x04 makes me sad cause clarke is smiling like "hey i spent 6 years with nothing but time to think about us and our relationship and what it means to me" and bellamy's like 'yeah... so.... some Stuff Happened while i was gone"
Ashshdjd even if Jason thinks casual viewers/non shippers make up the majority of his viewing audience... do you know how many casual viewers I know who HATE Abby? How many don’t even know who Echo is? Ejdjsjd it’s laughable truly
lmao not to be a downer, but i would like to remind everyone that this is literally the pattern that follows every season - strong beginning, shit middle, a crumb tossed at the end to make us come back... jason does this every season so he'll retcon everything we get anyway
I know it’s gonna lead to clownery but I’m still really happy that bob said Bellamy and Clarke reunite without external threats and that it’s so GOOD bc I’m a weak slut for their intimacy
they really did bring up lexa like 45 times since her death and brought up wells maybe maybe MAYBE once for brief second since his, despite the fact that he was clarke's best friend for like her ENTIRE life before the ground
“Bellamy blames everything on her” LOL Clarke.... who the narrative rarely truly holds accountable for her actions.... Bellamy.... who’s crucified for every decision he makes.... somehow he blames her for everything..... he yelled at her once.... guys pls stop snorting coke
lol what is there to indicate that echo even remotely has a friendship with raven like... this is what happens when u bring an antagonist into isolation with your protagonists and force a 6 year time jump on the audience... none of this makes sense
feels like i always go backwards, baby — (1/1, reylo, e, 10.1k) - idiots/barely enemies to lovers, a probably inappropriate boss/employee relationship, and featuring a profound lack of understanding of how journalism works)
no-one:
romance books: this man is so big. he is just so huge. he towers over me. all i can think about is how big he is. his arms are big. but i have to contain this feeling. we work together! yet my mind is imagining a life with mr big in all his enormousness. he is so... big.
omg t**** is such a bad actress it’s not even funny... i feel like she’s attempting this raspy serious vibe but it just sounds like she’s doing bad voiceover work
k*bbys are getting real brave calling bellarke fans the republican party of this show as though they’re not all a group of predominantly middle aged white women patronizing teens for caring about romance between two main leads of a CW show...
honestly i want fighting but not at the expense of bellamy's character when the fuck would he ever force anything like this on a literal child for fucking echo???? fuck off jason
it's v funny because i’ve seen people from other fandoms who "HATE" reylo & yet seem to know MANY FICS. saying shit like “they have a fic where xyz happens” or “didn't that person write that one story?” like babe… you're exhibiting fan behaviour.
i feel like the reason i don't feel hype about any of it is 1) cause jason has literally said b*cho aren't a temporary thing, and 2) if bob or eliza had filmed anything alluding to a canon bellarke, i feel like we'd move past words like "respect", "partnership" and "appreciation"
people being so angry in the qrts.... my brother in christ if you were foolish enough to think mindy kaling president of the swirl association would ever make paxton devi's endgame romance... that is on YOUUUUUUU
It’s hilarious that there’s all these things Echo is meant to be - smart, capable, (now) empathetic because of her connection with the space people - and she’s literally none of those things. And we’re still meant to like her.
Lmao Jason’s definitely gonna tweet about how everyone’s dipping after that interview.... not sure if it’ll be more of the same condescending “stop shipping” bullshit or if it’s the “wait and see it’s the long game” bullshit
t*sya claiming that echo served people blindly explains why she made so many "mistakes"... lmao... what a load of bullshit... thats even more reason to believe that her personality change after 6 years means nothing...
don't read this jason but im going to be reading a ROMANTIC book with ROMANCE and RELATIONSHIPS and HAPPINESS and PROPERLY EXPLORED ENEMIES TO FRIENDS TO LOVERS DYNAMICS
people who think that being conventionally hot is all a couple needs to be to sell an audience on their romance are why chr*s pr*tt thought all he needed to do to be a leading man was get a six pack... meanwhile he has the screen presence of bologna
sorry to talk about the show that shall not be named but the fact that shumway couldn’t get any other work and basically had to come crawling back to this show after leaving to “grow as a writer” is fucking hilarious
lol the leadership quote is nice and all and my issue with it isn’t with bob specifically but if clarke went up with them, anyone that thinks after 6 years in space, bellamy would have still ended up with echo and NOT clarke hasn’t been watching the show
rich person: acts like every rich person does
everyone: clowns on them
jameela jamil, uninvited as usual: HAHAHAHAHA YOU FUCKING POORS ARE SO STUPID THEY ACKNOWELDGED THEY'RE PRIVILEGED WHAT MORE COULD YOU FUCKING PLEBS WANT????
everyone:
i’ll be yours for the weekend (part 1/2, reylo, 7k) - Rey’s dreams of a tranquil, solitary Christmas weekend at Han and Leia’s cabin upstate fall apart when she ends up snowed in with their surly, miserable son.
this isn’t even considering the actual issues inherent to genre romance poisoning it as an entire subset of the literary world - unchecked racism, overwhelming whiteness, trope-based publishing, etc etc
honestly even after such a shitshow of a season, i will probably watch bellamy and clarke's s5 finale hug a bunch of times wistfully dreaming about what could have been
Bridgerton fans, those gorgeous orchestral covers are back in Season 2!
Harry Styles, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, and Alanis Morissette are just a few of the artists you should keep an ear out for
i do understand feeling like you’re not taken seriously because of misogyny and the stuff you read being seen as “trashy” but like generally speaking you may come across a few snobs on here, but you’d also have swathes of romance readers constantly at your defence???
and when u try & confront romance readers about these problems, you get a lot of responses saying “it’s escapism” or “i’m not politically interrogating my interests, i’m just reading to have fun!” and i actually don’t care what kinks get a person off but like lol be serious
Jake Johnson reveals on
@KellyClarksonTV
that Prince was responsible for Nick and Jess’ relationship on ‘New Girl’:
“he said he’ll do the show if he could help them get together, and he got to live the whole fantasy.”
It’s funny to see K*bbys complain about how they’ve been wronged and how they feel like their favourite characters are acting OOC... when they’re literally as self-involved and as patronizing as they’ve always been. Cry me a river.
In my mind, this is how I imagine Iris ACTUALLY reacting to Felicity trying to steal her sunshine on her wedding day. “I’m THIS close to kicking your ass, thanks to this white nonsense.”
the implication that cancel culture is a systemic problem and then using an example of a guy who literally violated his girlfriend's trust and committed a sex crime???? hello????
One such student, Diego, has been shunned in the hallways and classrooms of his high school ever since word got out that he’d shown off a nude photo of his girlfriend while drunk at a party
I’m sorry, I’m still so deeply confused. Her RIDE OR DIE nature..... So... like after Bellamy helped free her and the other trapped grounders from MW and she helped kill his girlfriend? Ah yes, such a loyal friend.
Bellamy... parallels... with Echo... I’m actually laughing so hard at the audacity of white people 😂😂😂 (I’m confused, do white people get off on constantly attempting to create meaningful relationships between Bellamy and the people who ruin his life?)
Lol Octavia crying in that last scene was the weirdest thing tbh... she’s a sadistic psycho who chooses to put her family in a fight to the death and then is sad about it??? When she’s literally never displayed having a soul in the last 9 episodes?
they cant just go from her leaving him to die and then him pulling her closer to him without like a proper scene in between right? will i be let down again? stay tuned
@spacebabyBlake
"She's just resting her head" oh yeah we all just cry and rest our cheeks in the hands of nice kind hot guys for comfort cause we're "tired"
they really did this to bellamy blake... like i've stuck by his side thru everything... even the SLICKED BACK HAIR IN THE PILOT.... they really did this to me 5 years later
I just don’t think the last two days have been real??? And tbh lets be real we weren’t even fed that much contextually with re: to the show itself, but we were treated like we were real and valid and existed???? Kinda got me fucked up
