OMG! 2020 isn't entirely the worst after all! I have friends?! I thought I was the only one who hated that she left like that. I get it, she had to deal too, but you left everybody to deal with the fallout without their leader. You bear it so they don't have to, but you left them https://twitter.com/orphicbell/status/1246630222465830913
all to bear what may be the worst part of the whole ordeal without you - that doesn't make sense! It's the writers fault, but still! I hated that so much! Then have the audacity to say it was okay cause Bellamy was there to handle it... Sis! Did he not pull that lever with you?!
Arguably (while they all have trauma from the ordeal, especially those two), one would think Bellamy had the worst of it cause he got to look on the people's faces for longer. He got to see the effects of what they were doing before they ever finished the mission (ex: that kid
who's dad he killed to save his self and Maya, Maya and her friends/family that helped them). Not to take from Clarke, but Bellamy got to know those people more than she got to and he still went through with killing them for the sake of his people. He helped Clarke kill them.
I get that it was a nod to her trust in him and knowing he's capable as a leader, but honestly that was just an unfair line to use. You couldn't even bare looking at their faces cause it reminded you of what you had to do to make sure they were even alive to look at, but Bellamy
should be fine to do it in your place because... why exactly?! I'm not attacking or dragging Clarke in any way (I love them both) but come on! You're smarter than that. This math don't add up! I hate the writers sometimes. They make points at the same time they destroy them. Like
choose a story already and tell that! They would have been better off having Clarke choose to stay and showing how she and Bellamy struggled moving forward from it. As we can see, they're both still extremely haunted from everything they did. The grounders could have come into
things later, maybe clarke could have gone to polis on a request/demand, Lexa could have told her about the coalition doubting her, everything could unfold from there as it did, but this time, there wouldn't be so much resentment and everyone may not be so broken OR they could be
but it manifested and built up in a different way. Once Clarke said she had to stay in polis, that could be the point where Bellamy went off the deep end and P*ke's introduction as the antagonist could get it's full start. Without Clarke to lean on anymore, P*ke could have
stepped in to be guide for Bellamy and then Bellamy could have pulled an ALIE and said the root problem to skaikru's suffering was grounders. BOOM! Story unfolds, there's more depth to the conflicts (between bellarke, the Blakes, Kane and Bellamy, the grounders/skaikru etc.)
It could have been set up better, had more of an emotional punch, all of it but of course we don't get nice things here.
