why i dont hate echo
~a thread~
~a thread~
okay so to start off, a lot of people don’t like her because she was with bellamy. i felt the same way, but then i realized they spent six years together, with not a lot of other people, in space. so it’s not like they a lot of other options yk. and things change, it was six +
+ years. that’s kinda a lot. so people (bellarkes) can’t get mad bc they’re together, when clarke literally wasn’t up there. they all thought she was dead. he had to find a way to move on.
onto my next point, people get mad at her for all the killing she does, and i am NOT justifying, BUT it’s not like she murders for fun. she grew up being forced to train and become a spy, and she had no choice against it. she grew up thinking that what she did was justifiable +
+when it’s clearly not. so yes, shes an adult and she should be able to move on from all of that, but that’s not easy to do. to forget everything you learned your entire life? that’s a bit hard. so it’s harder for her to just be like everyone else. and also u can’t say that +
+ octavia or clarke or bellamy are just perfect, bc they aren’t. they’ve killed so many people as well. okay literally last episode clarke killed some disciples for no reason. this isn’t me going down on clarke, it’s just an example. so yes, echo isn’t perfect, but neither +
+ are any of the others. she doesn’t know what it’s like to NOT be a spy.
onto my last point, she’s not even that bad of a character lmao. like she’s still not my favorite or anything, but she really isn’t that bad. she’s loyal and she’s lowkey pretty smart. shes a total baddie sometimes yk?
and don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying she’s perfect, bc she’s far from it, but everyone has made their mistakes !! u can’t harp on echo for killing people and not harp on octavia for it. octavias literally my favorite but i will call out her mistakes. no characters +
+ are perfect in this show (other than murphy and wells periodt) but i’m not afraid to call out something that someone did!!
anyways this was just me saying that echo isn’t as bad as everyone says she is
end thread until i think of anything else
