9 TV Couples We Wish Would Get Together Now
4. Sara and Leonard, Legends of Tomorrow
I know he’s technically dead, but this is a time travel show. No one is really dead when you can travel in time. And all we got was a lousy kiss.
We should have had more.
We should have had laughter and comforting. We should have had two people who’ve had a hard life finding solace in each other.
We should have had a ship. And we still can.
3. Jaime and Brienne, Game of Thrones
He’s prettier than her. She beat him, even when he had both his hands. Jaime and Brienne are a match made in Game of Thrones heaven.
They’re not the typical couple by any standard. And that’s why we love them.
And also because she makes him better and he makes her stronger. Because they’re each other’s safe port in a storm. And also because, in a world where everything always goes wrong, when the two of them are together, somehow, things works out.
That’s love right there. Even if neither of them has any notion of how to put it into words.
2. Donna and Harvey, Suits
Harvey loves Donna, and Donna loves Harvey. That has never been the issue here. They know it, we know it, and everyone knows it.
Yet, love is a tricky thing. It requires bravery. It also requires being on the same page with what you want.
That’s where these two have hit a snag. Love is not enough, despite what the songs have to say about the subject. Love is the beginning.
And for these two to finally get started, they both have to own it. More importantly, they have to be willing to live it.
1. Bellamy and Clarke, The 100
Fact is they complement each other. They make each other better. They’re a team within a team, and it’s been so even before they even wanted it to be so.
Bellamy can survive without Clarke and vice versa, but the best version of him is the one that’s standing right besides Clarke. And the same can be said for her.

quand clarke etait avec lexa elle avait pas besoin de bellamy et elle etait tres bien sans lui
No Offence but full offence. What the heck are you doing with putting Bellamy and Clarke up there? If you’re going to overlook this comment as a personal opinion I would like to point out that this article is clearly an individual’s personal opinion but the topic it touches on a very problematic issue. Take a look at the polls, take a look at the surveys. Go do a survey yourself. Less then 30% of the people who actually watch the show want Bellamy and Clarke together. And you list it as number one? The opinion of the over 70% of the rest of the 100 audience is that relationship is problematic. Bellamy and Clarke hold one of the few platonic relationships that is worthy of respect in a television age that so often sexualizes male female interactions. You’re adding to the problem. In the words of Lindsey Morgan in reference to this very relationship “Is that what you really want? Do you? Do you? Go think about your choices.” Not to mention the discourse or issues that have come to light outside of the shows rhetoric (I really hope you know what I’m referring to here). This is plan disrespectful to that discussion. So if you’re wondering. I disagree.
30% of actual viewers? Yeah, sure. Honestly it’s pretty mixed but the idea that it’s just 30% sounds insane. And why? Because the reality of the situation is that Clexa only does well in the polls because the LGBT want representation (and rightfully so, we have like none and what little we have is killed) but LGBT people blindly vote up like crazy for these couples. And so yeah, they fuck up with results because what we really have is a bunch of people wanting to make a statement.
BELLAMY AND CLARKE??? NOPE.
BELLAMY AND CLARKE? HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THEM!
I’m one of that “less than 30% of actual viewers” and I totally agree with the article, so thank you, to whoever wrote it.
How is having an opinion on who you want to get together disrespectful to something that has nothing to do with said couple? So is the show AND ITS FANDOM supposed to put everything on hold to…. what? To cry over dead lesbians? To wait for that “discussion” to end before we are “allowed” to move on and ship who we want to ship? What exactly is disrespectful about posting an article with Bellamy and Clarke in it? Jfc. Grow the fuck up. Not everyone has to cater to your needs. “Disrespectful to the discussion”.. Wow.
why do people always feel the need to invalidate bellarke like they threw it out of nowhere in the narrative? lol try to invalidate it all you want, but bellamy and clarke already had a special connection ages before lexa even made her first appearence on the show. have it ever crossed your minds that most bellarke shippers are here since season 1 and they simply don’t like your ship because they were already attached to theirs? seriously. can we go back to 2014? the 100 fandom used to be such a nice fandom. then clexa shippers happened.
Rachel, the Clarke x Lexa fandom is not the majority. They are just louder and obnoxious and you are an example. You can’t say someone is wrong because of their opinion. For someone like you Clarke and Bellamy’s relationship might be wrong and for others Clarke x Lexa seems wrong. Everybody has their own opinion so don’t go and tell if some other person’s opinion is wrong just because you disagree.
je suis d’accord avec toi mais dire que clarke est meilleur avec bellamy c’est pas la réalité
the only reason Lindsey Morgan stans CL is because she likes braven which is an ugly excuse for a ship. but anyways, your saying less than 30% of the people want bellarke? what ever drugs your on gimme some. do we watch the same show? mind you the general audience couldn’t care less about CL FYI.
Actually that’s a very ignorant comment. You do realize that the majority of people who watch the show don’t interact with the fandom or participate in polls and surveys right? Consequently, it’s blatant arrogance to assume that “less than 30% of the people who actually watch the show want Bellamy and Clarke together” when you’re only seeing a small fraction being active in polls/surveys/ratings.
Secondly, a huge majority (if not most) of Bellamy and Clarke fans do not participate in the fandom aspects of the show anymore, *especially* after Clarke x Lexa fans arrived, because of severe and extreme bullying that took place from both sides immediately afterwards. Even before that, a large portion of “Bellarke” fans left the social fandom because they were sick of being mistreated by the show-runner himself, soo much so that he actually publicly acknowledged his rude behavior and apologized to the “Bellarke” fans for it, hoping to “restart”.
Additionally, the Bellarke fans had at least a 9 month head start to grow from the beginning of the show before Lexa was even introduced as the antagonist in 2.06. Your numbers are based on a multitude of factors that you’re not taking into consideration. The LGBT+ community has always been a loud one, not always in a bad way, but sometimes soo much so that the rest of a fandom gets shut out or turned off from participating in anything at all because they’ll be accused of being “Homophobic”, etc., etc., for preferring or loving a straight ship more than a homosexual one. I’ve been here from the pilot and I watched the Bellarke fandom crumble first-hand under the terrible weight of mistreatment first from the show-runner, and then from a legion of seemingly entitled fans that contextually claimed it was their way or the highway.
Also, I saw that full interview with Lindsey, and the context of what she was saying wasn’t that the relationship itself was bad, let alone “unhealthy”, but that every relationship on this show ends tragically so would we really want that just to have it taken from us.
Anyway, my point is your comment is blatantly ignorant and must take *all* factors into consideration before assuming current poll numbers and survey results are the absolute opinion of the entire audience.
“The polls!!!11!” You guys sound like Donald Trump. Honestly. Not to mention what you’re saying isn’t even true. Where are your sources? I can guarantee, outside of fandom, the general audience recognizes that Bellamy and Clarke are being built up to romantically and probably ship them as well, if they care about that sort of thing. Plus the Bellarke fandom is equally as large as the Clexa fandom. They’re just not as obnoxious. Twitter polls and other clickbait polls where ya’ll have been PROVEN and CALLED OUT for hacking and cheating do not reflect the majority opinion. And you want to talk about sexualizing m/f friendships? When have they ever done that with Bellamy and Clarke? Tell me? That one scene in 1×08 when Bellamy teaches Clarke how to shoot a gun and gets flustered? Oh wait, that’s not sexualization; that’s proof that a ROMANTIC relationship between Bellamy and Clarke has been hinted at since the very first season, before Lexa was even formally introduced. You guys like to forget about tidbits like that one though, since it doesn’t suit your warped narrative. You want to talk about sexualization? Let’s talk about that unnecessary scene after Lexa kills the Ice Queen and comes into Clarke’s quarters, when they’re both dressed in flimsy robes and giving each other sultry looks for…what reason? Oh, to sexualize them. Right. Which is ironic, because sexualizing romantic f/f relationships is a REAL issue in media for the sapphic community. Your aversion towards a potential romantic relationship between Bellamy and Clarke is misplaced. If they do become a couple (which I and the show can both assure you they will be if you rewatch and pay attention) there will STILL be a healthy amount of m/f friendships in The 100 to admire, that are still important and central to the story. As for Clarke and Lexa, what do they have to do with Bellamy and Clarke? One does not invalidate the other. Clexa happened, Clexa was real, Clexa was handled poorly from start to finish imho and deserved better. But it was there and it was rep. So why did you come to an article about couples that are not together yet knowing Clarke and Lexa would not be here? Probably knowing what you would find? And then spew inaccuracies in the comments and say Bellamy and Clarke are problematic together but are also the healthiest friendship on the show…? That’s transparent as hell. Your logic is flawed and you obviously don’t respect others’ opinions if they don’t mirror your own. So, sorry. I can’t offer you that courtesy either.
Of course it’s an opinion; it’s written by a single person. Also, I didn’t realize that stating opinions is disrespectful to a discussion. I thought that was the whole point of a discussion, but I guess I’m wrong (sarcasm if you don’t understand). Plus, you are saying this article is disrespectful when you are being disrespectful yourself because you are criticizing people for shipping Bellarke. Little note of advice for future reference: try to leave out the hypocrisy and fallacies next time you try to argue something.
In general, I believe that it’s foolish to be arguing over the ships on this article. This one opinion. Everyone else is entitled to their own opinion. There is no need for vapid arguments.
I love Bellamy and Clarke, Riley and Farkle, Jaime and Brienne, and Donna and Harvey!
What heterosexual non-sense is this. Bellamy committed genocide and got the woman Clarke loved (yes, LOVED as in she said “I Love you” to) killed because of it. He is also around 25 in canon while Clarke is barley 18. He shouldn’t need Clarke around to be a better person. That is the definition of toxic if all she is doing is babysitting him so he doesn’t go off and murder 300 more innocent people who were just there to help him.
wtf buddy. lexa died because of her own actions, her own personal decisions. guess what: the grounders were already targeting her because of mt weather, they thought she was a weak commander. then her feelings for clarke got in the way of her duty, that’s what got her killed. y’all always wanna find a way to drag bellamy, the guy wasn’t even in the episode that lexa died
omg seriously? lexa left clarke to die on mount weather and her own people on tondc but im not seeing you judging her just bellamy i liked lexa but she was not perfect the good part of the 100 is that it shows to us that there are no good guys bellamy has regret about his actions so was lexa if you could forgive lexa why you judge bellamy so hard? when it comes for your fave you think her actions are good even if they are bad but when it comes of the fave of others…. thats the hypocrise that i cant stand
Lol. You wild. Bellamy Blake killing 300 innocent people. All by himself. Such innocent people who never killed anyone. Yeah. Sure.
At worst he killed like 30 soldiers that were surrounding his camp keeping his people locked in. If anyone left within a certain distance they would have been killed. (Don’t get me wrong, it was a terrible decision but it’s insane to assume he was the sole person and that he choose to do this.)
Bellamy also didn’t get Lexa killed… Lexa already had multiple assassination attempts made on her life, she was going to get killed sooner or later. Sure it sucks but damn if that isn’t true. She was trying to change a violent people drastically into one of peace. They already hated the Sky People.
Clarke is 18 and Bellamy is 23. Sure, that’s a five year difference but to be honest relationships are more based in maturity anyways and they’ve both been forced to mature in pretty drastic ways, they have issues but it isn’t the damned age.
Heterosexual nonsense? I get that the list is totally just a bunch of straight couples… That’s all I have to say, I don’t like it either but it’s not like Bellamy and Clarke are the biggest issue. At least one of them isn’t even straight, that’s a lot better than the rest of them.
Are you joking? Why do Clexa’s continuously blame Bellamy for Lexa’s death? She died for her own decisions. Istg y’all reach so much just to prop up your own ship. Honestly I have no problem with clexa but why do y’all insist on tearing down anyone who ships Bellarke?? Like why do you take time out of your day to find an article that talks about Bellarke in a positive way and add your unwanted opinion? I know I said I didn’t have a problem with Clexa.. But if you’re gonna start talking about toxic, maybe you should look at how you’re ship began with betrayal and kidnapping.. Yikes.
You sound ignorant and irrationally angry. Go calm down, grow up a few years, and come back when you’re ready to face reality, and not just the reality you want to live in. Lmfao toxic, yeah okay.
“Bellamy committed genocide and got the woman Clarke loved (yes, LOVED as in she said “I Love you” to) killed because of it” LOL I CAN’T. Clarke and Lexa in season 2 literally ran away letting a missile explode a village full of 250 innocent grounders + sky people. Clarke literally burned 300 grounders in season 1 finale (but hey, there’s no Lexa in season 1 so what’s the point watching it right?). “And got the woman Clarke loved killed” you mean the same way Lexa condemned Clarke’s first love, Finn (yes, LOVED as in she said “I Love you” to) to death? Cause everyone seems to forget he existed. And Bellamy has nothing to do with Lexa’s death wtf dude her death was an accident caused by Titus.
O yeah, he sure murdered this 300 people alone. He is some kind of ninja, I suppose. He also got into Polis and went straight to kill Lexa…. sure, Jan 🙂
Lmao you clearly don’t watch the show if you think Bellamy had ANYTHING to do with Lexa’s death. Don’t be a dumbass by talking about something you don’t know.
Love the Bellark photo at the top: it’s right before Bellamy played with Clarke feelings and handcuffed her to the table to deliver her to a man that would possibly kill her . It sums up how toxic that relationship really is. A grown man that depends on a 18 year old to make good decisions and blames her for the shit that he does. A woman’s job is NOT to fix a man! She’s pretty well on her own and doesn’t need his abusive behaviour at all. #BlameClarkeGriffin
Coming from someone who ships the couple that began with a betrayal and kidnapping……… Why are you still here?
Who do I ship? I think romantic ships in this show is completely ridiculous and doesn’t make sense at all with the story (but that’s how tv works and you have to put romantic in everything just so people can enjoy it). Bellarke fans believe that anyone that don’t like them are Clexa stans and that is so untrue. I simply don’t like a ship where only half of it actually gains something on said relationship. That’s all.
How original. A comment that has 0% truth in canon, spouting rehearsed rhetoric that’s been slammed again and again. When are ya’ll gonna stop repeating the same arguments against Bellamy and come up with something new? Everyone with at least half a brain knows everything you just said is incredibly lacking in merit. Better luck trying to upset the Bellarkers next time.
“0% truth in canon” we clearly don’t watch the same show. Every character in the show (Kane, Octavia, Clarke…) have to hold Bellamy’s hand so he won’t make terrible decisions. The writers treat him as a hero but he is far from that. And that is insulting to the general audience. Bellamy was getting better in season 2 and I was actually liking him, but what they did to him this season it makes impossible to like him at all (unless you are a fan that excuse everything he does). The moment he acts like a grown up and owns to his mistakes and bad decisions is the moment i might start liking him again. I’m not trying to upset bellarkes, bellarkers will always be bellarkers doesn’t matter what bellamy does, that won’t ever change. I’m just stating fact that are on the show without any googles. You can like a character but you don’t have to blindly defends everything he does.
“A woman’s job is NOT to fix a man.” I love this comment. Because we all have seen how Clarke was forced to ‘fix’ Bellamy!
Like, how could they do that to her??!! How could they let her care for a man and him to care about her to the point they need each other and would die for each other??!! The writers are awful at their job!!!
Like, why Bellamy isn’t the touch guy like our world wants him to be???!!! Why isn’t he emotionless??!!! HOW DARE HE needs someone who understands him and is there for him???!!! What is he?!! A human???!!!
And oh my god! The blaming!! How dares he tell her that she hurt him?!!! Like, who does he think he is…? Her friend to be so honest and open to her??!! That guys I swear…!!!
And it’s so clear that she can live without him… I mean, that why she didn’t want to believe he was dead after the drop ship battle and escaped MW because she coulsn’t accept that Bellamy Blake was dead. And she made it very clear that she can live without him by worring day and night till (and after) he contacted them when he was in MW. And oh, hahaha, remember the episode where she gave up her life to save Bellamy’s? I don’t understand why this guy can’t accept that Clarke Griffin doesn’t care about him… He must be very stupid, right?
Bellamy is a better man when Clarke is by his side. This is a fact that was show several times now on the show. So yes, basically their relationship is about her “fixing” him. And this whole woman fixing men was done so so so many times on tv and movies to the point where its boring now. It’s not about being tough or not having emotions at all or needing someone to understand; that can be done on so many other ways to engage the audience without falling on this whole “make him a better person” thing.
Clarke cares about Bellamy, that’s obvious (in my pov is more platonic than romantic but others don’t agree and that’s ok). But truth is she only needs him because of the whole situation with the skykru. The same way she needed Lexa too (it was more because of the political/war situation whether of the need itself of a lover). Bellamy can be upset of her leaving of course but he can not say “people die when you’re in charge” when he helped a lunatic get in power and had just killed 300 people in their sleep when he is part of the people “in charge” at the moment. He pulled the lever at MM with Clarke, he caused the death of 300 other people in season 1 when he got rid of the radio (when he was a leader at that moment). So no, he does not have the right to say that to her at all.
I honestly don’t understand how Bellamy fans are “ok” with the way he is portrayed by the writers. They destroyed the development his character had last season. They turned him into a xenophobic, easy to manipulate person and the whole “needing other people to make good decisions” thing is a self drag of the character itself. He is supposed to be the hero but he doesn’t act like one at all and want everybody to feel sorry for him. That’s not how it works.
This show definitely isn’t at Clarke “fixing” Bellamy. It’s true that because of her and her ideals, he was able to see that he could be more than “a monster” who will do anything to protect the people he care about.
But Clarke didn’t fix Bellamy in season 3. Your comments makes it seem like you didn’t watch 3×08-3×16. He went down the rabbit hole and he got himself out. He made the choice to not follow Pike anymore when he crossed the line – when Pike was targeting the people he was trying to protect. All of 3×10-316 was his atonement arc. He came ftf with the personification of his actions in Nyilah and apologized. He realized he had blood on his hands and some of it was Lincoln’s in 3×13. He objected to forcing the chip on Luna and then going village to village which was the OPPOSITE of what Clarke wanted to do. He specifically said not to use deadly force in 3×15 and 3×16 unless absolutely necessary – like in the elevator with Murphy and saving Pike so they could barricade the door. He told Octavia he didn’t want for her what he did – acting out of revenge. He told Pike he was on the wrong side with him and had to live with what he had done. He ordered the rest to use non-lethal force when protecting Clarke – Abby herself stated that. He made a lot of good decisions in 3B without needing anyone to make them for him.
He might eventually be a better person because he met Clarke Griffin but ultimately it’s because he got there on his own.
Bellarke and/or Bellamy fans don’t excuse his behavior but we do understand his pov. When we get defensive, it’s because a certain fandom refuses to see their double standard and hypocrisy.
I didn’t say the “show” is about Clarke fixing him, their relationship is. Everything you posted about season 3B is true and, what a coincidence, that happened when Clarke went back to Arcadia! After they had that conversation where she consoled him on his actions even if he went all sarcastic on her with the Wanheda thing and trying to fix things commentary. They crossed the line on episode 3×04, not on episode 3×08, and yet Bellamy still supported Pike until Kane was arrested. That was when Bellamy started to believe he might be wrong but he never actually voiced that killing 300 grounders and, after that attacking a village, was wrong. He only changed his behaviour when one of the sky people got in danger and that really bugs me. He even blamed Octavia on Lincoln death. That’s not nice at all. And the same way his xenophobic behaviour came out of no where, his “redemption” did too. He has a long way to go to make up for his actions on season 3A and trying to be the voice of reason in the finale (“these people are not our enemies”) does not make up for that all of the sudden. It’s a long road and, for those that were not his fans before, it will be a very hard one. But if the writers do it the right way I’m all for it.
And I’m not here defending Clarke. She’s no saint at all. She is, by far, the most manipulative person on the show but the way it’s written don’t make us hate her for it. The whole thing of her trying to force Luna with the chip was disgusting. It made me go like: “really Clarke, not cool at all”. Let’s not even talk about her double standard and hypocrisy talking about grounders actions and sky people actions. She is a great leader for the sky people, but she actually doesn’t really care about the grounders.
This whole ship wars is riduculous on the 100 fandom. And there are people on both sides that really do go out of line sometimes. But we have to take something in consideration here: the 3 seasons of the 100 happened on a timeline of only 4 months. In 4 months Clarke “loved” (and lost) 2 people. 2 people in only 4 months (that’s gotta be a world record). S3 ended with the whole world going to shit again: grounders almost completely destroyed and without a leader, sky people also in trouble, a threat of nuclear bombs for the next 6 months and we are worried about Clarke getting another romantic relationship? Really? That would make 3 lovers in less than a year. That girl needs a breather and so does the audience. It is not good storytelling for Bellarke to happen in the near future, Clarke needs a break and Bellamy needs to grow as a person for that to happen.
Yes!! Thank you! Why is everyone so pressed over the fact that they rely on each other for support?? It wasn’t even Clarke that got him to switch sides lol. She was unsuccessful when she tried to get him to turn against Pike. It was Kane that got him to understand that he was on the wrong side NOT Clarke. People just love to find new ways to shit on Bellamy for everything he does. He was angry at Clarke because she lied to him, almost got his sister killed, and made a deal with someone who left them to die. How dare he have the audacity to be angry with her. He should just be submissive and not tell anyone how he feels and should never have emotions because that’s manpain!! And before anyone says anything, that argument was not him blaming her for his mistakes?? I mean seriously tell me where does he do that? He was angry and said, “people die when you’re in charge” then stated two things that are canon and actually happened! Yet people crucify him for even having a reaction to these things like he’s supposed to just let her get away with them.
Also stop trivializing abuse and saying that them having an argument is abusive. Yes he handcuffed her and tried to arrest her for her safety but then what would you call Lexa having Clarke kidnapped and imprisoned for a week for her safety called? Abuse is a pattern and because they get in one argument everyone screams, “abusive manpain baloney Blake doesn’t deserve Clarke because he handcuffed her and relys on her!!¡ Toxic relationship!!1! …. Also remember when Clarke held a knife to Lexa’s throat? They are so in love <3333". Like??? Wth? Double standards.
“to deliver her to a man that would possibly kill her” if you think Bellamy’s intention in 3×05 was getting Clarke killed, then we’re not watching the same show. It’s the same Bellamy who not many episodes before was running with a stabbed leg to save her and crying all over the woods yelling “i can’t lose clarke!” we’re talking about.
Of course his intention was to not kill her, but he was so blinded by his pain that he didn’t think that that was a possibility that could happen. And he should have thought of that. Clarke was working with the grounders and Pike is a grounder hater, so her life was in danger inside of Arcadia at that moment and he trapped her there. That is a fact even if it was not his intention.
BELLARKE YES
and i really really really really really want stiles and lydia (teen wolf) to be together i ship them so much and they have a great history and chemistry
Bellamy and Clarke best ship ever!!!
Omg why are Clexa’s so threatened by Bellamy and Clarke?? Seriously whenever someone tries to talk about it in a positive way, clexa shippers flood the comments arguing over why Lexa was Clarke’s “one true love”. Clarke is 18. She’s not gonna be alone the rest of her life and the fact that you guys use the: “bellamy would be clarke’s second choice because Lexa died so he would be a rebound..” Really? Then wth was Clarke moving on from Finn?? Also, why are you guys still here if you said you’d be done with the show after Lexa died? If it bothers you that much STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. Stop hating on anyone who ships it. And stop accusing anyone who ships it of being homophobic. Believe it or not, a lot of people shipped Bellarke before Lexa was even on the show. Also I think it’s really interesting how y’all continue to vilify the main MOC while propping up your white faves for doing the same things… Y’all are so transparent it’s tiring. Just GO AWAY and stop flooding every damn comment section and hating on anyone who has a different opinion than you. If you really don’t care about the show after your fave died, why do you take the time to stalk anybody that has a positive opinion on the show or Bellarke?
“Bellamy can survive without Clarke and vice versa, but the best version of him is the one that’s standing right besides Clarke.” ….Did you even watch season 3?!
Bellamy helped massacre an entire army sent to protect them on their sleep. Everyone agrees this has been the worst version of Bellamy in the series so far and you want that person with Clarke just because Clarke makes him a better person? That’s so toxic.
Girls, always remember that it’s not your duty to make a man better. If he mass murders and loses his moral compass when you’re not around he needs a psychiatrist not you.
Bellamy didn’t follow Pike just because “Clarke left”. YOU are watching different show if you think like that.
Your precious Lexa sent 300 SOLDIERS to kill 100 TEENAGERS, KIDS in season 1. Your precious Lexa ordered to kill Octavia, literally sent a guy to kill her while she was on the watch to PROTECT HER PEOPLE. Your precious Lexa tortured Raven where there was no proof she is guilty of anything. Your precious Lexa (with Clarke) LET THE BOMB drop on HER PEOPLE, including Kane and Octavia (Bellamy’s sister). Your precious Lexa left all of them to die in Mount Weather (including “her love” Clarke).
Grounders have been attacking them since s1. Grounder almost killed Finn, grounders took him in s2. Grounder have taken Octavia, grounders have killed 30 of The 100 in s1. Grounders have blow up Mount Weather (where was also Gina, bell’s girlfriend).
But not everything is black and white. They have some reasons and so Lexa but also so Bellamy. Don’t try to say it’s only because of Clarke when it clearly isn’t.
But sure, let’s call Bellamy “mass murder” because he believed this grounders will atack them AGAIN (how they did several times) and he wanted to protect his people, his sister, his friends which are his family and went with others people to kill them.
Bellamy said he is sory. Bellamy knows he made a mistake. Bellamy knows he has to live with what he has done because he owns it them. Bellamy knows he has to suffer. Bellamy admitted he was wrong. Bellamy has been beaten to death while he was chained because of his sister. Bellamy thinks there is no forgiveness for him.
That’s the difference. Lexa thinks what she has done in s1&s2 (letting bomb drop on tondc, leaving them to die, torturing raven, ordering to kill octavia) is a good thing, is a right thing. She would all of it have done again. She didnt say she is sorry, she doesnt reget it.
Yet audience decided to forgive her just like narrative did – just because she bowed to Clarke.
While Bellamy will be punished for what he has done for all next season I’m sure. Just like he went on suicide mission in s2 to make up for what he has done in s1.
Clarke was also broken in s3 as Bellamy and if you didn’t see that then you don’t pay attention to her character at all. She didnt know who she is anymore “I’m no one”, she was hiding in the woods because she wasn’t ready to face what she has done. She’s been following Lexa like Bellamy was following Pike. She wasn’t a leader in s1. Not untill episode 11. She decided to hide, don’t see her people again because she wasn’t able to face what she has one for them. Bellamy on the other hand decided to stay while he was still broken and protect them. He always tried to keep them safe, even if it means him selling his soul&being completly lost.
” If he mass murders and loses his moral compass when you’re not around he needs a psychiatrist not you” lmao you need psychiatrist, sorry not sorry.
LOVE LOVE LOVE BELLARKE! ❤❤❤
I love two of these ships! (Sherlolly and Darvey, aw)
But if you need recommendations of great ships that are not white and heterosexual, let me know. This list is a bit one-tone, no?
If you have any great LGBT couples who have yet to get together, sure, I’d love some recommendations. I’ll look them up.
Sure! On Rosewood, for example, there are three ships that are either POC or LGB+ or both! 🙂 There are a few others on OITNB you might enjoy, if you’re looking specifically for not-quite-canon-yet ships, and check out “Emison” on Pretty Little Liars if you want canon-but-not-currently. In the same teen-ish genre as PLL, you also have The Fosters, with quite a few POC in ships, and at least one current angst-filled LGB+ ship. 🙂
Yeah, Bellamy actually helped killing 300 innocent people who were there for help for no reason, only because of his foolishness. Also yes, he is only good when clarke is around. He can only take good decisions when clarke is with him. He is not equal with clarke, he only follows clarke as raven said knight by the side of queen. But clarke is a good leader even without bellamy. She can take her own good decisions. That’s the difference. Sure Clarke makes bellamy better, but bellamy never makes clarke better. Bellamy never appreciates clarke, he only blames her for her decisions, but again turns to her for decisions. He is never equal to clarke.
But it is different with Lexa. She made all of her decisions for good reasons. She said she made them with head not with heart. In tondc case she did that to save bellamy who was their to stop the acid fog, so they can win their war. Clarke and lexa never wanted eachother to become good leaders for their people. They were already leaders when they met. But they made eachother better. Clarke helped lexa to open up with her feelings and lexa helped clarke to be a better leader and lexa even change grounder rituals for Clarke. And Lexa is the only one in the show who appreciated Clarke.
I loveee Bellarke. Great choice putting them at number one, they deserve it 🙂
Love Bellamy and Clarke. Would be neat to see them romantic sooner or later.
Also how predictable that Clexa stans show up and whine about evil Bellamy killing 300 grounders in his sleep while conveniently forgetting that Lexa is no angel either.
Bellarke is ”toxic”…. CAN YOU CL.XA fangirls chill… BELLAMY IS 23 AND CLARKE IS 18! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG HERE! ”L.XA DIED BECA– USE OF BELLAMY” HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEND? SHE DIED BECA– USE SHE WAS AT THE WRONG PLACE AND WRONG TIME! I JUST REALIZED HOW MEAN AND NEGATIVE IS THE CL.XA FANDOM, LIKE CAN’T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR CLARKE, SHE WON’T STAY FOREVER ALONE, BECA– USE L.XA DIED! AND YOU ALL BRING UP ”THE BELLAMY THING” THAT HAPPEND IN THE FIRST HALF OF SEASON 3, YET YOU SAID NOTHING ABOUT L.XA LEAVING CLARKE AT MOUTH WEATHER, WHEN SHE KEPT A PROMISE TO HELP HER AND ALSO WANTED TO KILL FINN, RAVEN AND OCTAVIA! EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES, NO ONE IS PERFECT! YOU SPEAK LIKE L.XA IS PERFECT AND BELLAMY IS TRASH, WHEN IS NOT LIKE THAT! just freakin’ stop… #RespectBellarke!
LOVE BELLARKE YES
Bellamy and Clarke has been building steadily since season 1 so I think that is going to happen.
From my point of view Lexa and Clarke only happened because 1st Clarke chose to live in isolation unable to bear the guilt of killing 300 people from a vampiristic society. Unlike Lexa who had no guilt about her part in the massacre and never expressed remorse for it or her betrayal of the SkyPeople. Then she was violently kidnapped on Lexa’s orders and brought to Polis as a political prisoner. Her isolation from her own people continued with only a brief visit by her mother – to whom Clarke made her distrust of Lexa and her ability to uphold the Grounder end of the deal clear. And very brief 5 minute encounter with Bellamy – after the Grounders blew up Mt Weather and 50 SkyPeople. – then another conversation where she tried to convince him that Lexa really was on their side this time, but he didn’t believe her.
Clarke’s relationship with Lexa began and ended without any of her friends and family ever knowing. I and many others are not convinced it would have lasted if/once that isolation ended.
Raven to Clarke “Are you serious, that bitch left us to die and is the reason I’m in so much frigging physical and emotional pain that I took a blue chip to LaLa land. She killed Finn Clarke, she nearly got us all killed. Remember how she sent an army of 300 vicious warriors to wipe us out at the drop ship” (teenagers).
But honestly it doesn’t matter whether I liked the Clarke Lexa romance or not. Lexa died and even if she hadn’t I would still being rooting for Clarke and Bellamy, because that is what I want.
Brienne and Jamie on the other hand. I want it. But I don’t think I am going to get it. Will Jamie betray Cersi like he does in the books. Could he really watch Brienne get killed on his orders. I do not believe she can kill him now. I think for the first time she would find it difficult to do her duty. This would be good character development for Brienne who always sees things so black and white. I would love them to happen. But it’s GOT, I am scared.
Thank you so much for Bellarke! We’ve been waiting and we’ve been shipping them since season 1 of The 100! I hope we’ll finally get that because they are perfect for each other.
I agree with everything you’ve written about bellarke. Once again thank you so much for putting them at 1 place! The journey is long and I’m willing to wait for them however long it takes (but please the 100 writers SEASON 4?!)? 🙂
BELLAMY AND CLARKE AT FIRST PLACE! They really deserve it! Thank you so much!
However I think Klaus and Caroline (klaroline) should be here too! Well, I know it’s been 4 years but Klaus said to Caroline “I intend to be your last [love]. However long it takes” which basically means they are endgame but we just don’t know when they will be canon. I hope maybe next season we’ll have any interaction between them because yeah it’s been 4 years but still so many people are shipping them.
Once again thank you so much for Bellarke at first place!
CLs want Clarke to be single for the ready of her life and she’s only 18 lmao. If she ever falls in love again it’s “disrespectful” but they think Lexa kissing Clarke DAYS after forcing her to murder Finn (the guy she loved) was cute. CLARKE & BELLAMY BELONG TOGETHER ❤️
I hope Bellamy+Clarke come true. Theirs is one of the most beautiful love stories ever written precisely because it was not written. They Hated, then endured, then they started to need each other, and later became friends and each episode that passes you make more and more that alone are lost and combine too much trouble while only together they can overcome obstacles and be stronger than everything and everyone. They are real soulmates, never seen on TV. I trust in the authors who understand the immense treasure that have in your hands! Bellamy and Clarke the real true love!
I love that bellarke is #1. I’ve been wanting them together since 1×01 when they first laid eyes on each other before opening the dropship.
I ship Clarke and Bellamy since S1 but it seems it’s not fashionable that the lead male and female of a show can get together, even though they have a chemistry off the charts and deeply care for each other, so Thank you for bringing them up in this article!
First, I want to start by saying that I seriously cannot believe I am commenting about this. I am in my forties, happily married with two kids and try to stay out of the “ship wars”. With that said, I do not watch The 100 because of a “ship”. Honestly, I saw the commercial before it began and was digging the Imagine Dragons song at the time and figured I would give it a shot. I really enjoyed it from the start. This show is so much more than the normal who likes who shows I have seen on the CW. It is a study of gray situations, there is never a true right or wrong path to choose, which is true to life in a lot of ways.
When it began I had never read the books or knew what Bellarke was. I liked Finn, then watched how Clarke felt betrayed after Raven’s arrival. I liked Raven too. Then I was shocked when Clarke had to kill Finn, but I love how the show doesn’t take the easy way out because in life you cannot always do that. I enjoyed Lexa and how powerful she was. I enjoyed Clarke’s and Lexa’s united front. I was sad that she turned her back, but again this show does not take the easy way out. At the end of the second season I was surprised at how much I now LOVED characters that I did not the previous season. I always saw the chemistry between Clarke and Bellamy and LOVED how they began to truly trust each other, because in a world such as the one they live in, trust is the biggest thing you can have. I also saw chemistry between Clarke and Lexa, to me it felt a bit rushed, considering the timeline after the death of Finn, but I never doubted she did have a love fore Lexa. My true problem with the Lexa & Clarke pairing really came down to trust. I know by the end she trusted her and that she knew why she did what she did at the end of season 2, but could she really ever fully trust her? I mean trust is the biggest factor for me in a relationship, especially a loving one. So as much as I knew she loved her and they had something special I also cannot buy the theory of OTL, because this is not a Disney show.
And before I get to Bellarke, I have one other thing. I also have love that this show never put labels on anyone, they love who they love without judgement, because this is a hundred years in the future and I for one would hope that those things would be way in the past. I do understand/empathize the representation that people felt, and the betrayal and truly hope they get that in the future. I want a world that people can love who they want, how they want and have no judge or jury to tell them otherwise.
Now to Bellamy and Clarke, I really began to love seeing them together on screen. Again, I never read the books, did not know a war was going on when I began this journey. And again, this show is not a love story, but the chemistry, true trust and faith that they have in each other that comes out. I saw little things in season one and really enjoyed their time together, season 2 was when I started to see the possibility of a romantic relationship but this season, wow, their chemistry was magic. So, I do LOVE that they are included in this story because to me they make great partners, and if it becomes romantic I think they will light up the screen. And yes, I am now fully in the Bellarke camp, but this has been growing since the pilot, not recently.
All the hate is making me ship them more. “Oh look bellarke article! *5 seconds later*Ack…..anti’s everywhere” Is there anyway that we can ship on peace? Without having someone invalidate them for us??No? not possible?.. sigh…. Anyway, Bellarke is <3 and nobody can tell me otherwise 🙂
CLARKE & BELLAMY ❤️
Bellamy and Clarke will pay off. I’m patiencely waiting for it to happen. The chemistry between the actors is incredible and the bond between the characters as well. Bellarke all the way. Hope season 4 is the season where it happens!
Bellamy and Clarke have to be. They are so beautifully written, I love the slow burn and the little moments between them.
And please, let`s all be grown up about the ship wars. Clarke loved Lexa, all right. I was beautiful, too, in its own way. Life goes on. She will never forget about her, but there`s more than one person you can really love. Otherwise it all would be quite miserable, wouldn`t it? I do not want to invalidate Clexa. But I want Bellamy and Clarke to be able to continue their journey together, with all the trust building and tender moments they kept having for 3 seasons. Lexa was and will be an important person for Clarke, Bellamy was and will be very important for Clarke and vice versa . It can be easy, if you stop thinking either or and give everybody the chance to pursue happiness.
