[therealspacebabe]

Okay, I know I’m a CRAZY BELLARKE but bellamy saw her/felt her/looked up and saw Clarke watching him. 

We are not crazy. They did that for a reason.

2nd time in 2 episodes. 

[therealspacebabe]

Charmaine: Take Kane and his wife-

Kane: Abby’s not my wife

Charmaine: Shut up. And also take Bellamy and his girlfriend

Bellamy: Clarke and I are just friends

Charmaine: Damn, you and your dad really are in denial-

Kane: Bellamys also not my son

Charmaine: OKAY WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE ME A GD FAMILY TREE OR SOMETHING THEN

Clarke was stung at the end of 505 by b.cho in my opinion. I chose ‘stung’ with much deliberance.

First, a story. When I was 21 I had a “tiny crush” on my 19 year old co-worker. I thought our age difference was disgusting so mentally I checked out of any romantic notions as soon as I realized I thought he was cute (first day I met him.). You know what that didn’t stop? Us flirting subtley, at least on my part, and me developing deep feelings anyways because I came to know him personally and his personality traits only added to my initial attraction.

And then when he got a girlfriend and I found out, you know what my face looked like?

The heart wants what it wants no matter how much you try to logic your way out of it. Trying to logic your way out of feelings is called denial kids.

With Coworker, I had been in such a state of denial that I didn’t realize I had “oh fuck” levels of feelings for him until I had a dream of us making out.

The heart wants what it wants despite the brain’s persistent denial and delusions.

So despite all my effort to not like Coworker I did, and it still hurt when he got with someone else despite me having NO CLAIM to him romantically.

Clarke was hurt - stung painfully by this sight despite any logical reasoning past or present. The heart wants what it wants, and the heart isn’t afraid to be upset when it doesn’t get it no matter how deep in denial you are.

What we see here IMO is Clarke’s heart being blatantly expressed on her face, with her brain quickly catching up and covering it.

Why ‘stung’ and not ‘jealous’ or 'shocked’?

Jealousy implies she is In tune with and has an active horse in the race of Bellamy’s romantic feelings. I think she is too logical to have ever thought he’d stay single for her, and loves him too much to ever want that anyways. Jealousy is a selfish emotion and I don’t think Clarke has it in her to feel that way. Jealousy is possessive, unkind, and selfish. That’s not Clarke

Shock might imply no hurt feelings on her part and can be read as a simple visceral reaction to an unknown factor being revealed. Shock might also imply a minor upset, or one that is not romantically connotated. I feel at this point in time, romantic feelings can’t be denied (at least not for us viewers hurhur). Clarke may believe after 6 years they’re only platonic, but that doesn’t mean her heart feels the same way.

I feel stung rightly describes what she felt. Sudden, sharp pain from a surprising source. Agony. Heartbreak. Anguish. Stung implies a stronger negative reaction on Clarke’s part without it being too possessive or self centered. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I wasn’t alone.

wait… the line echo says in the trailer to octavia “only fools fight a war they cannot win” isn’t that almost exactly a line that finn said to bellamy?? and if so, they visually paralleled bellamy/echo to finn/raven with clarke as the witness/jealous party last episode, and next episode they’re paralleling echo to finn? hhhhmmm…

[therealspacebabe]

Bellamy and Clarke referred to themselves as the head and the heart, Murphy is officially Madi's grumpy uncle, Clarke's non platonic feelings are showing more than ever, Bellamy showed up with a "best dad in the universe" mug and had Madi holding his hand and taking him to Clarke, who told him "you're home now". Diyoza mistook them for a couple. I'd say writers spent the hiatus reading fanfictions lmao.

[therealspacebabe]

the way the narrative has gone out of its way this season to give bellarke small, self contained moments (in a holding cell, by the campfire, in a tent) BELLARKE IS AN ACTUAL PLOTLINE THIS SEASON

[therealspacebabe]

Clarke: Together

Bellamy: Together

Diynoza: but why aren’t you “together”

[therealspacebabe]

I can’t believe that the “villain” of season 5 is a bellarke and kabby shipper

season 5 bellarke crumbs / /  (30 / ?)

a.k.a. i don’t know what’s going on, but clarke told you to stop so put that thing back where it came from or so help me

[therealspacebabe]

i still can’t believe clarke said “heart and head” like we are in chapter 11 of a bellarke slowburn, enemies to friend to lovers fanfiction

[therealspacebabe]

I wonder if Madi is just rambling on to skaikru about about how much Clarke loves Bellamy and they’re all awkwardly like
