Open post for yall to say hello and maybe make this site useful

Well I don’t know if Ive got anything new to say, But I do love talking about it, so here you go!! I didnt think much about it at first: The feeling all those mopey scenes left in my gut was heartbreak and depression. Bellamy just seemed so hopeless and empty.. he was still fighting to get back to his family, to save everyone, but he seemed to be “functioning” on auto pilot rather than being a hero full of passion. (A lot went into that sure, not only Clarke,. but still. Clarke played her part. Especially in the rover and fire scene.)

I went pretty in depth about the rover scene having something to do with Clarke, too. Becuase while Bellamys overall mood is caused by the overall situation, Echo and Clarke and the painful fact that he is in love with two women ON TOP OF ALL THIS MADNESS are undoubtedly a factor. 

How can we be sure? Because Octavia called him out on it. By the time the rover and the campfire scene came along, Octavia had already confronted Bellamy about his romantic feelings for Clarke. So reading inner conflict into B’s expression in scenes concerning his relationship with Echo, is not a reach. In fact, its the only logical conclusion.

And the campfire scene was so damn obvious about it. We even got a whole little story about that sword.

Im just.. i feel feelings now. I have to juxtapose those scenes!!

Huh. I feel kinda bad, but I actually laughed giffing this. It’s so painfully obvious. Almost ironic. Actually, not almost: It is ironic. Bellamy promising Echo nothing will change. The sword being a symbol for Echo but THEN it actually becoming a symbol for change. Their peaceful time on the arc was over, Bellamy and his family had to face war again. relationships were tested by outside forces. And another beautiful metaphor I noticed while collecting those scenes: the campfire. Putting Echos sword next to a lonely Bellamy sitting by a fire is more than a broad hint at this point.

He’s sitting there, remembering the last time he sat like this, unable not to think of Clarke. Then he thinks of Octavia baiting him with his love for C. He sees the sword and thinks of echo; feeling guilty because he’s thought of Clarke in the first place, who just broke his heart anyways and doesn’t love him back soo why the fuck is he thinking of her when he loves Echo?? Also they might die at any given point theres razor sand storms and flesh eating worms and an army ahead. 

“What are we going to be now, Bellamy?” Is the introduction to the love triangle storyline, actually. what ARE you going to be? How can you be, what can you be, now that it turns out the great big love of Bellamys life isnt actually dead? Now that his sister knows and Clarke’s daughter knows and uhm also Clarke loves him back? The visual language and symbolism were breathtaking in this scene and UGH I cannot wait for S6!!
