tw // abuse

suspicious things i’ve observed about bob & eliza’s relationship that make me question whether eliza has fallen victim to him as well: a thread.

1. eliza used to be extremely close to a former cast member. this said person left the show, & the two continued to go out of their way to see each other. then, the other party stated that eliza no longer responded to any of her texts. possibly manipulated by bob, as

he is biphobic. the character that this individual played was clarke’s (eliza) love interest. bob might have been jealous/insecure, making her cut ties w a former friend.

2. eliza used to be a person who openly loved the ship clexa, possibly more than a lot of fans. she would love talking about the couple & their impact. she also used to hate bellarke. she stated herself multiple times that lexa was the love of clarke’s life. ->

then suddenly, she stops talking about clexa completely? somewhat brushing off questions about them + then being completely fine with & even talking about bellarke more.

3. eliza used to be an extremely fun person. always laughing & being extremely social. then a few years back, she became extremely serious, no longer having that same joy in her. she rarely joked around anymore.

4. she used to love conventions & meeting fans. once getting with bob, she’s missed multiple conventions & also distanced herself from the rest of the cast.

5. bob cuts her off during interviews when he wants to speak for himself. she then just simply agrees with his statements & doesn’t say another word about the question being asked.

6. obviously they’re married, so they call each other husband & wife, but most people do not do it to that extent, especially celebrities. bob always makes sure that people understand that she’s his wife, despite his anxiety and passion for his own privacy.

someone so private wouldn’t want to bring attention to the marriage. yet, he clearly draws attention every time he calls him his wife. but when asked about the relationship itself, he shuts down the questions immediately.

again, this could be completely false & just me being paranoid. but i can’t be the only one who’s noticed multiple things about her change these past few years. despite everything she’s done as well, keep an eye out & make sure there are no signs of abuse in that relationship.

adding on to this: it’s completely unrealistic for an abuser to change overnight. arryn was never the toxic one. it was him. just because he is with another woman now DOES NOT mean he’s changed. it’s quite possible he’s been manipulating her without her knowledge for years.

to clarify one more time: eliza’s behavior has been disgusting + she should not be forgiven. the point of this thread isn’t to condone her terrible choices. it is to show the dangers of abuse & the possibility that arryn’s abuser is still being manipulative.

if it comes down to it and eliza truly has been manipulated for years, i will not hesitate to stand up for her. i will easily choose to stand up for the victim. in no way, shape, or form does that mean forgiveness. but abuse should never be taken lightly.

however, there is quite honestly a high chance that eliza took part in abusing arryn. we don’t know the full story. but it simply comes down to this: arryn was a victim & now a survivor. eliza is a potential victim. bob morley is a dangerous abuser.
