1. The End of Bellamy and Echo as a couple
Β Echo will do something that will lead Spacekru, especially Bellamy to realize that she is not the changed individual they all thought she was. It will isolate her from the group and fracture her relationship with Bellamy, leading them to take a break.Β If I defended someone who has done unforgivable things to me and my family becauseΒ I think that they have changed for the better and had even grown to love them, only for them to go and do something of that nature once again, I would be heartbroken, angry, and would be hesitant to trust them again.
Β Still, this is different from writing her off and giving up on her. Bellamy even when hurt, is someone who know doesnβt how to give up on people. He will still care about her, he will just realize that Echo is not the person who he thought she was, the one he fell in love with.Β
Because he is in love with her, this version of her. As an actor, in their moments, Bob has made me believe it, has made me feel for Bellamy losing this person he cares about. However, IΒ have only seen the aftermath and it feels strange for me to see Bellamy pressing his forehead against Echo as she preps to leave, for him to love her so intensely, especially after you see S4 and all the instances of animosity between the two. Again, Jasonβ¦why?
I am clinging to this like a baby otter clings to their mother as the current threatens to take him away. The end of 5x06 with Echoβs signature smirk coming back force as she took out the USB she hide inside Karinaβs shotgun wound. FORESHADOWING AT ITS FINEST.
2. The Unraveling of Bellamy Blake
I love Bellamy, so much. So fucking much. But right now he is the living embodiment of late 2000β²s hit,Β βSomebody I used to knowβ.Β His intentions and overall thought process is great. Being able to forgive others is a not a weakness, I just think he is wrong about the people around him. He is wrong about Octavia, in the past and now.Β
Β βThere is a darkness in you, Octaviaβ S4, said by Kane.Β
βCareful of the dark, Octaviaβ S5X07 promo, said by Indra
He will be wrong about Echo.Β She has had no visible redemption arc because she hasnβt really changed. She will fall into her old ways and then after she finds herself alone, we will saw her true redemption arc. By the end of 5x07, Bellamy will truly realize that the promise he made to her was naive and foolish, something that couldnβt hold against the power of the ground.Β
He will start to see things for what they are. Octavia going more and more into theΒ darkness. Her relationship with Madi will put this into perceptive.
Clarke will be distant, in a much more sad and off putting way that before. THE ANGST. I AM HERE FOR IT. JUST STOP WITH THE TWO WEEK BREAKS.Β
And he will not be able to put up a brave face.This is where Bellamy Blake will come back in full capacity, with his heart on his sleeve, sad puppy eyes.Β
The pacing and jittery fingers will nothing compared to explosion of emotion Bellamy Blake will feel during βHow We Get Peaceβ in the face of one vulnerable Clarke Griffin. I donβt know what will happen inΒ βHow We Get Peaceβ between these two, other than a fight that will result in some bitch ass tears from both parties and of course my bitch ass self. AGAINβ¦ From this unraveling, Bellamy will realize that the feelings he had for Clarke may not totally be gone and that there is unfinished business. This is Clarke, the person who he went through hell and back with.He knows her soul, every crack, every ounce of her bravery and resilience. Bellamy Blake loved Clarke Griffin for so long, it became almost like breathing. Second nature. But, when she died, it felt like she died. Bellamy couldnβt breath without her for so long, no really. But he had, because if he didnβt adapt, he would die. Bellamy Blake has always been adaptable. But Clarke dying? He had to becoming someone completely different to move on.Β
And he did. But now he had her back but it doesnβt feel like. It feels like Bellamy doesnβt care. That he doesnβt love her anymore. But I know he still does. To quote one Klaus Michaelson,Β βCrazy or not, that kind of love never dies.β
Thus, when it is time to reassess his relationship with Echo, he can only offer friendship and a place back in the family because by then she will have redeemed herself, but nothing more. AGAINβ¦
I am clinging to this like a baby otter clings to their mother as the current threatens to take him away. I could be wrong and I probably am but I have a lot of time and a lot of desperation soβ¦
