I legit cannot wait for your the 100 fics. and i cant believe you're a CS WRITER!!! MORE STUFF FOR ME TO READ!
Agh, thank you! This is exceptionally sweet. I am...writing Bellarke fic now. Because I have no chill. That’s it. That’s the excuse. It’s not really an excuse. I may post later today, if I can type quickly enough before work, but definitely at least tomorrow and THEY WERE ROOMMATES WITH A SHARED SPOTIFY ACCOUNT:
“Also,” Bellamy adds, “Clarke already had Spotify premium. It made sense.”
Octavia shakes her head. “You’ve got to live together to be on the same account.”
“I thought we already covered that you have a key to this apartment. Clarke and I do live in together.”
“It looks romantic. It looks—” Octavia waves a pair of clearly frustrated hands through the air. “—Domestic. Partnered and, like joint playlists and—”
“—You know he gets unlimited skips now, right?” Clarke interrupts, a desperate attempt to end this conversation and, maybe, get Bellamy to put a shirt on.
“Don’t forget the no ads,” Bellamy grins. “That’s been a godsend.”
“What an old sentence. Also, you’re a podcast dweeb.”
“Informed, princess. There’s a difference.”
“Yuh huh. Whatever.”
“As always, your arguments are well-structured and articulate.”
She flips him off. He grins. Octavia makes a noise previously unheard by human ears.
“You two do know,” she hisses, “that everyone is talking now and—”
“—You all need to find a hobby,” Bellamy groans.

the lea michele situation is actually a prime example of why we should be wary of performative activism right now. if you are supporting the cause by protesting, donating, posting your support, etc. that’s great! but this problem goes so much deeper than just police brutality.
every single non-black person who has posted #blacklivesmatter this week needs to take a step back and analyze whether or not their actions (not just their words) have shown that they truly believe that statement. it’s a clear and obvious choice to speak out against the brutal murder of an innocent man. however, if you are not making the obvious choice every day to speak up for us when your friends/relatives make racist jokes, if you are not listening to and respecting the black people you know in real life, if you have not sat down to analyze the ways you actively benefit from this system, if you have not worked to start unlearning the biases you were raised with, or if you thought “black lives matter” was a controversial statement until this week, do not pretend to care just because everyone is talking about it right now.
when these protests are over, there will still be many battles to fight. this is not a game, and this is not something you post about just for likes and clicks. if you are resting easy right now thinking that you’re “one of the good ones” for showing public outrage over a situation that should anger any reasonable person, you need to do more. racism is not something you can pick and choose when to be against. we don’t get to pick and choose when we experience racism. so if you’re going to get involved with this situation right here, right now, then you need to be ready to hold yourself and others accountable for anti-blackness in all other areas of your life.

Something about the way Pearl kept an eye on Sausage while he was corrupted just Gets me. She didn't accuse him, she didn't excuse him, she was the only ally he hadn't pushed away with his bloodlust who was also the only ally he had who was unconnected to Xornoth... She was willing to leave him be, for the most part. She just wanted him in sight, for his own good. In sight, occupied with a task that might distract him from all the dark things threatening to choke his mind, and networking with the other rulers again with her there to keep the peace and show them he could be safe still, in the right circumstances. She wasn't overly optimistic about his goodness, or overly critical of his sickness. She was just a farmer queen with some time on her hands and a good enough sword arm to not be afraid, and, well, she had always been a person to help out where she could. It's not good to be alone, when you're in that kind of trouble. Even if the company is just watchful eyes and busy hands, it helps to have a thing outside of yourself. I love the quiet, practical wisdom in that. It's so Pearl.

the complicated sibling relationshipcore of it all. like there is something so specifically fierce about the way siblings love and hate each other. it's so intense and personal and cruel and fond. there's an element of solidarity there that isn't inherent to other familial relationships because this person isnt supposed to be a guardian or even a role model, they are your equal, your comrade. they are messy and imperfect and you know exactly how ugly they look when they cry and you didn't choose them. they are you and you are them, every awful fragment, the best and worst of you condensed into another living breathing snarling human being, and they are everything you aren't too. you hate the parts of yourself you see in them and you hate the parts of yourself you can never see in them. i dont think we were ever designed to love our siblings completely. i dont think it's possible to hate them completely either. you are looking at a mirror and shattering it. you are cutting your hands trying to piece it back together. they will come downstairs while you're washing the blood down the sink and ask you if you want to rewatch merlin for the eighth time, and you'll turn off the tap and reach for the remote
