So, I want to say something and I hope no one takes it the wrong way. I am blunt by nature, so I am stating from the beginning I mean NO offence.

I am a Bellarke fan. Hardcore. So yes, I never supported Clexa, but I never trashed it either. But ADC was a great presence in the show and I admired her work. I was 100% pissed at Lexa for her choice on the Mountain Weather situation and that she seemed so robotic (pun intended) with her choices. And yes, I agree, JR screwed everyone with his choice for her demise. I wanted a Bellarke endgame, but when I saw Lexa's death, I cried. Clexa and Lexa fans deserved more than just this. I don't say that a small part of me wasn't happy about Lexa dying, mostly because I expected her to die someday, but I am conflicted about his choice of death.

Again I totally 100% disapprove of the stray-bullet death, but here are my thoughts. Lexa was a feared and loved commander who managed to do more than all the previous ones, maybe even more than Becca who made the Nightbloods. She made a Coalition, killed the freaking Ice Queen (I was screaming Yes and Finally for an hour when Lexa impaled her on that spear), she was not challenged by her subjects and after losing her first love, Costia, whose head was delivered on HER BED (any normal person would have been out for vengeance and blood), she still acted like the perfect Commander. A powerful personality like that has enemies. More than I'd like to count. So it would make sense that Clexa wouldn't last forever. But they could have given them a little future before brutal scarring us with the death of one of the most iconic characters of the show, right? So, from the one hand I was glad she died, remember I ship someone else, but ADC brought a whole new theme to the show and not to mention the viewers. She introduced LGBT and she deserved a better death. Yes, she was "accidentally" killed by a man who saw her as a daughter/sister and adored her more than anything in his life, maybe because it was his duty, maybe because she grew on him as something more. And yes, her death revealed the A.L.I.E. 2 chip and explained the Becca ark. BUT WHY CHOSE THAT DEATH?! Some say she should have gone on a long journey. Nope, it wouldn't fit the character. I think Lexa could have simply faced a situation with another clan that called her to leave and negotiate, fake her death there with Titus help or even stay away on Commander business so she could eventually come back and as for the Clexa dynamic, leave it hanging. Clarke and Lexa realized their duties to their people were more important and they could see each other on another episode on season 4 after the bedroom scene. That being said, they could have handled it SO much better.

A last note. I am a writer too and as a person who has killed of characters and wished that I didn't have to I have to say this. When writing a story and you want it to be as close to reality as possible, you try to keep things realistic. Reality is, some times people don't get the deaths they deserve. On Women's Day, I heard about a female activist, who was murdered and I bet no one knows her name. Everyone says she was killed because of her activism. So, this woman, despite her work, wasn't given the recognition she deserved after her death and she didn't deserve to be murdered. Tv shows, movies, books and comics need to show this injustice too. In a perfect world, ADC would have never gone to FOTWD and she would have a looooong screening time on the 100, even a happy ending with Clarke or a proper battlefield death. But unfortunately, life isn't fair. So Alycia DID deserve better, but we need to face the fact that it happened and aside JR decision that I have to say is the definition of stupidity and it's synonyms, there were other factors involved.

So, to conclude RIP Lexa you will be greatly missed and HOPE FOTWD treats ADC better than JR did!
