Talk:Clarke and Bellamy/@comment-25176701-20150118031103/@comment-100.36.124.217-20150118195106

Although I'm sure there are some fans out there who are so happy that Finn is dead, only a small percentage is happy BECAUSE of Bellarke. You seem to be very biased and anti-Bellarke in how you said that Clarke deserves better than Bellamy because he indirectly killed the citizens of the Ark. But you ignore that Finn killed eighteen people, he massacured women and children and elderly DIRECTLY. This is not something to skip over. Bellamy's character development is one of my favorite things on the show. He showed remorse for those people. He was upset and he hallucinated them in Day Trip. He told Clarke that he was a monster, he wanted to die because of the guilt. The only remorse I saw from Finn was in Spacewalker. I knew that the only way that his character was going to get redeemed was if he was killed. Jason and the writers of this show did such a good job with the effects of war on people, let alone children. To be honest, after Human Trails I really started to not like Finn. He called it an "accident" when it was clearly not. In Bellamy's case, it was an accident. He didn't know that those people were going to die and when they did it ruined him. He felt horrible.

Now, there is one thing I agree with you on. Clarke does need time. She did love Finn, and maybe I would have been a Flarke shipper if it didn't go so fast -- they had sex in the what, fourth episode? I think Clarke does deserve better than Finn as well, because she was the other girl. Finn cheated on Raven with Clarke. Sure, he killed eighteen people "for her," but even Bellamy showed more remorse than Finn over the whole thing. Bell felt bad that he gave Finn the gun.

So I think that I, and a lot of the other Bellarke shippers would like a slow burn. Clarke needs time, she needs a friend. Bellamy is one of the only friends she has right now. Raven is mad at her, which I hate. (Seriously -- I love the whole Clarke/Raven dynamic. There was no petty fights over Finn. It was awesome). She also has Octavia, but I think that Bellamy and Clarke get each other more. They're friends, they respect each other. There is certainatly a spark there and I would hate it if Jason just pushed them together right after she killed the boy she loves.

But my condolences to the Flarke shippers and to the people who loved Finn. He was a great and realistic character, and during Spacewalker, I really started to like him again. I feel horrible for everyone whose OTP and favorite character was Flarke and Finn, that must really suck.

I think that everyone -- the fans and Clarke -- need time to mourn over Finn. And to the Bellarke shippers celebrating (I have not come across any but I'm certain there are some out there), tone it down a little. Put yourself in their place. It must really suck.
