SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASON 7 OF THE 100 Let me just start off by saying that Bellamy Blake is probably one of my favorite characters on The 100 to look at how he’s progressed. Not only did he start off as the protective brother willing to do anything for Octavia and end up poisoning her (with some good reason), but he also just has really interesting dynamics with other characters. I’m going to look at the whole Pike incident, Clarke, and his death. 

I think it’s safe to say that when all of us Bellamy fans saw his interactions with Pike we were screaming at our screens in frustration. Not only did Bellamy stand by as Pike was one of the most hated characters in the history of The 100, but we also got to see the aftermath of these interactions. I’m not going to go into details about this situation but I think that the most interesting part about all of this was how his interactions with Octavia changed after Lincoln’s death. This is really the reason why the Blake siblings’ relationship was damaged, at least at the beginning. 

I’m also not going to hide that I personally prefer Bellarke to Clexa. It’s not exactly the most popular opinion but I just think the characters mesh better. Clarke’s relationship with Bellamy, even though it was never romantic in the series (AND THEY WERE FREAKING MARRIED IN THE BOOKS), is probably one of the most complex within this series. I’m not even going to touch on all of the baitings the writers put into the series between Bellamy and Clarke but that’s a whole different issue. They started with a strained relationship, went to a point where Clarke would let TonDC be blown up to not put Bellamy in danger, to Bellamy putting the flame in Madi’s head and Clarke leaving him at the fighting pits, and finally to Clarke being responsible for his death. All in all, it was a ride.

My biggest issue with how they portrayed Bellamy in Season 7 is the idea that Bellamy could betray not only Clarke but all of his family like he did. Something I loved between the characters of this show is the unrelenting loyalty, even after everything they’ve been through, between them. I think it was completely out of character for Bellamy to betray them after a cult-like religious journey on a frozen planet and I would prefer a rewrite of honestly the last two seasons. 

So now that Josephine is in Clarke’s body what if Clarke has to face every bad decisions she has made. Like everything she has done for her people before she can take back over her consciousness. That no other host has been able to do it, but Clarke has something to come back to. I don’t know but it’s just a theory.
