1. Memori

2. Leah/Fatin (The Wilds)

3. Memoven (Memori + Raven)

The power that Memori has is beyond comprehension. They managed to survive things that would doom most other ships, not only becoming THE epic love story for the entire series, but one that had a happy ending! The Dead Zone didn’t starve them, ALIE couldn’t claim them, Praimfaya didn’t burn them, Earth dying wasn’t the end for them, The Primes couldn’t outwit them, and they managed to give the Grim Reaper the middle finger through a miraculous loophole. They defied the odds every single time because they knew that what they had together was worth fighting to the bitter end for. And the chemistry between Richard and Luisa is something out of this world. They’re the diamond in The 100′s rough.

If they don’t make Leah and Fatin a thing, then they’re losing out on a big opportunity, because these two have something real interesting together. Granted, it’s been a bit since I’ve watched The Wilds and I’ve forgotten about some of the finer details about the series, but their scenes together showed some great tension and chemistry. It would be neat to have another wlw ship in the show, and I have some hope it’ll happen because they’ve got a solid ship base that’s gaining popularity.

You can be forgiven for not wanting to think about Murphy’s hair.  John Murphy likes the clumpy look.  He never took out the twists (ref the desert pictures) and when bored he’s a hair fiddler (ref his lockdown locks).  Look at that last picture.  He stood in front of a mirror and carefully spiked out individual sections.  

yesssss

Sanders was always my second choice, and he was my first choice in 2016. 

I believe so strongly in his platform, and I would love it if his reforms were realized. But he keeps talking about how there is this mythical unicorn voting bloc of young people who are going to show up and put him over the top against Trump, then once he’s president, that same bloc of young people will storm DC, and force the congress to care about them.

That sounds AMAZING and is something I’ve hoped for since I could first vote, all the way back in 1990. 

The thing is, it’s Fan Fiction so far. That vote he and his supporters keep talking about just isn’t showing up in the primaries. That is terrifying to me, because if he is the nominee, he’s going to need them to show up, and if they aren’t showing up in the primary, I don’t know why they would show up in the general. That terrifies me.

But Biden is a terrible candidate. He will be horrible in debates. He will, if elected, absolutely let Trump and his criminal coconspirators off the hook, because he’s an institutionalist like Obama, who refused to hold Bush accountable for his war crimes. There’s a reason Biden has been running unsuccessfully since the 90s.

What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Well, might as well rip the band-aid off right now…I have never seen the appeal of Be//arke…at all. The flags in that relationship are drenched red with blood from open wounds they themselves have inflicted upon each other. They are the peak of dysfunction and codependency, and the only common ground they seem to share is a cemetery filled to bursting with the people they’ve killed. You can’t build any kind of relationship off of that. There’s no real foundation there for anything long lasting and the writers have squandered practically any chance they’ve had to actually make something worthwhile out of them. People claim they get results when they work together, but in actuality, it’s the other characters in the show around them that get shit done.

Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

The writing for his character in the sixth season really took the shine off of Bellamy. His entire attitude towards his supposed family was deplorable. Saying stuff like, “as therapeutic as it to beat up Murphy”(saying shit like that as a joke towards an abuse survivor’s not fucking funny, Blake), calling Echo emotionless, not trusting Emori enough to fill her in on his plans, and pretty much throwing them to the wolves to save Clarke had me raging. You know, for all his talk about how Murphy was the traitor, Murphy did far more to protect his family(even if his methods were incredibly flawed) than he did. He went from condemning the act of genocide, telling Madi not to seek retribution against the Eligius crew to being ready to kill everyone in Sanctum. So much for “doing better”, Blake. 

Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
