octavia blake gifs

tbh i dont have too much faith in them making up in a way that makes sense or is done well, i think they’ll sort of make up by the end of the season, but i dont think they’ll actually resolve their issues, they’ll just ignore them.

i hate how octavia is one of the only characters who constantly needs to earn her redemption/forgiveness meanwhile everyone else just gets a pass on their fuck ups after a little while. they never have to apologize or talk thru it, everyone usually just starts working together again bc some other threat came up. like bellamy and the other characters can find it in themselves to forgive everyone else for everything, like he forgave echo for trying to murder his sister and then literally got mad at octavia bc she hadn’t gotten over it. and abby and kane get a free pass for what happened in the bunker, but octavia is responsible for absolutely every action in there.

also it made me so mad how octavia blames herself for the world ending when that blame can be placed entirely on clarke and mccreary. and lowkey kane and diyoza for giving him their plans, because without that, their march on the valley would’ve been successful. and if they hadn’t sabotaged every plan octavia had to get the valley, they would’ve succeeded in living there. but still, it was mccreary who decided to blow up the only living valley on earth, and he was able to get the one up on wonkru bc of clarke, kane, and diyoza.

if all these other characters can get a pass for literally all of their mistakes - and EVERY single character has made mistakes they should be held accountable for i’m not picking and choosing certain characters - they have got to stop making octavia jump thru hoops and stop throwing her to the side instead of trying to help her through her issues. obviously it’s fine and i like it that she wants to redeem herself for her past actions, but i hate that no other character on the show has to work as hard to remedy their mistakes.
