:The fighter in me reads this as combat...but the wh*re in me knows better. 👀👀

ALSO I can't help but imagine this though

thank you!!!

so anyway Lincoln is my peaceful bab and he would actually get along with Lexa very well I think. He should be her general at one point in season 5 or something. ‘the war has been trying to turn me into a monster for as long as i can remember’. I KNEW he was the one and only, the curious about Others, peace-loving Grounder, I KNEW that’s why he saved Octavia. I am so happy about Lincoln. Lincoln is the best.

Considering the way the Mountain Men keep the Grounders in a constant state of war, I think their way of life makes a lot of sense. I am going to ignore how 50 or even 100 years is not a whole lot of time for things to change so radically. that’s at most like 3 generations. On the other hand, we can assume that cultural reproduction dropped radically and that a lot more generations got cycled through than that in the extremely hostile circumstances. There’s a reason they start kids on the warrior path so young. 14 and 5 kill marks? I expect they don’t live long even if not Reaped/murdered. Cancer anybody? Like I imagine that’s still a thing with all this radiation. Few elders, lots of kids getting to be adults at around 11, many mums and dads and aunts killed to protect them. I wonder when the Grounders have gone from wolf pack - like social structure to villages. Even a city! maybe this was 50 years ago too. Let’s say people die easily at 35? That many kids don’t make it through birth. It’s likely that kids that were still alive after the bombs inherited the world, and their parents and extended family gave everything to help them survive. I’m thinking these adults died quickly. That life itself was a war pretty much for 50 years. I’m thinking that leads to some quick cultural change. You lose a lot of knowledge. How the fuck did they build up these traditions though damn. Death of a thousand cuts? If death has no cost life has no value? Total loyalty of Heda recquired? How did the Commander arise out of the ashes of the world?

Is there enough here for everybody? I wonder about that because the land and the resources and shit. Can the Ark even support itself? Are the Grounders losing out on things? THIS is important. But I’m gonna take Kane at his word and believe that the Grounders really only see the Arkers as an invading force and now that there’s an alliance they might co-exist if they can swallow the multitudes of wrongs the Arkers have done them (and also if the ARkers can actually give them anything useful after the war) and it’s not about the land that’s lost. Maybe the ARk is too close to the mountain anyway really..

Murphy fucks up again. Why the fuck did Lexa send Grounders from TonDC??? I mean. Ok. THEY are going to have to live with these Arkers but they just lost 18 people to them.Also yeah Murphy you could have pushed Finn over perhaps. Shot him in the leg. anyway back to feuding, I love that FEUD.

Clarke really wandered off so far that Quin thought he could just kill her without anybody noticing from the enormous camp? then she ran so far and Lexa found her with ONE GUARD at her side? I mean....this makes a lot more fanfic canon compliant and ‘believable’. and then they suddenly come upon a truly GIANT gorilla? (broke out of a zoo with radiation-upped weight??’) ‘this way I found something!’ the pauna leftovers-from-kills ground! good find Clarke! Clarke shoots it a couple of times but whatever bullets don’t do shit for no reason. I mean. This makes my crack theory that if you can ‘metabolise’ ratiation then you can get superpowers from it a lot more likely. This Pauna was probably born mutated as a bigger gorilla too i guess but it’s so big because it is so good at metabolising radiation. Which might explain why it’s become a carnivore too (no it doesn’t) and why it doesn’t live with other gorrillas as gorillas do in the wild???

Lincoln literally went back into the worst nighmare EVER willingly. This incredible man.

Jaha sucks blablablhablhab WELLS should have survived. also Did Dante seriously call his son Cage?? CAGE. as in we are caged underground, lets think about it everyday? CAGE as in we hunt and cage grounders and bleed them to death and turn them into monsters and hey you’re incharge of that now son. Dante’s got an interesting sense of humour.

wtf Octavia why do u challenge for a fight when these Grounders are just going for a hunt because Skaikru are inhospitable useless idiots? (like seriously they don’t have food? how is this not a major concern for everybody? like not even rations of food?). but seriously why octavia, you had the whole day.

Murphy’s development is actually really good. Self-fullfilling prophecy criminal must re-envision himself before he can change.

I mean Lincoln told Bellamy he couldn’t do it. Then Bellamy led him into the situation where he’s always been injected with a dose of super addictive drug it’s like have all your addiction triggers now fight it.

Things I am looking forward to:

- Octavia getting really good at fighting so she can kick any boys who try to grab at her on Bellamys orders ASSES.

- Octavia punching Bellamy for going WAR! VIOLENCE! WAR! in season 3 bc I’ve seen the trailer already. I mean. FINALLY. Taking him down a peg is going to take so long but i look so forward to it.

- Mt. Weather

- Anya (&Clarke)

- A rewatch of Clexa in context

- More trigedasleng

things I have made peace with I hope:

- Clarke fucked up, she is going to continue to fuck up and she’s not gonna own up to it and the show isn’t gonna be like: yea that wasn’t necessary.

- Wells’ death and the death of potential counter ideologies and the death of all correct moral compassing on the show.

things I am just gonna fucking skip:

- All ARK scenes bc it’s fucking bullshit and I don’t even CARE about anybody on it because the show NEVER develops background characters to create a sense of attachment. (and i’ve laready read what happens)

I mean I get that it was deliberate the switch with sweet Aranea - horrible Meenah and horrible Vriska - sweet Feferi but godDAMN

I get that she's a punk version and stuff

But she hears about her alternate self killing, enslaving and exploiting trillions and she's just like: so cool, so fucking cool

I meannn??? Is it because she can't even fathom the implications of that literal genocidal horror shit? I guess they had this Ancestor thing pre-scratch or something and Feferi's pre-scratch version wasn't 'badass' so that didn't jive with her eh just kill shit because everything is boring stuff 

Basically what I'm getting is if Feferi had been Meenah back in A1 they would have won? Or was it really because they were 'weak'??? BECAUSE SERIOUSLY how the hell did they lose when they came from what sounds like a goddamn utopia. THAT made them 'not tough enough' to beat the game?? Sounds fishy to me and if for real, kinda stupid seriously. Kindness, equality, forgiveness, impeccable teamwork = weakness? Come the fuck on.

I LOVE Aranea. How could they have disliked her? She explains stuff you need to know, she has the super wisdom and the healing powers and she's basically awesome - let her fucking talk ugh fucking Meenah how is she her only real friend? WHY did the others dislike Aranea so much? 

I want to know about the ancestors and their story more and I ALSO want to know about the A2 kids as ancestors to the A1 kids!

But srsly if Roxy lives 200 years in the future of Rose then how could Rose have locked the cabinet door to the booze or whatever?

Also it is slightly hard to believe that Roxy, Dirk and even Jake turned out to be pretty well adjusted kids/survived at all with no one to care for them from basically infancy. like that broke my suspension of disbelief a bit. that's like the first time that happened. (I guess Dirk had Cal but wtf, and those carapace ppl didn't seem prone to raising babies and Jake how does he eat and not die in this wilderness and stuff).
