#the100forme

Because who we love shouldn’t have to be accepted. No one should have to be accepted by their friends, family, or anyone because it means accepting that we are different. What I love about The 100 is the next subliminal step they’re taking the world in, through Clexa. Lexa never has to hide or embrace her sexuality, nor does it affect how anyone views her leadership because it has no meaning to them. Lexa never assumed Clarke only liked guys because of her previous relationship with Finn, and Clarke didn’t start questioning herself after Lexa kissed her because labels do not exist in The 100 (other than clans and of course “Heda”). Love has no race, religion, language, or gender and someday this world won’t need LGBTQ+ characters in their shows because they will all just be characters. Those labels will have no more meaning. Just like what The 100 has done. #The100forMe

Someday the world will see what I see, and what I see is not two women making out for the hell of it, no. What I see are two powerful figures and relatable characters who would bring out the best in each other (and could probably rule the world). This is what I see:

Clarke is an amazing, natural leader who earns people’s respect by connecting with them on a personal level, but also sometimes makes poor decisions because of those close relationships. 

Lexa is a brilliant, experienced leader who can make extremely tough decisions and always puts her people before herself, but also suffers emotionally because she has to hide all signs of weakness in order to maintain her ruthless persona.
