Either way, I think their story works great. Miller was already shipped with Monty back in S2, and when we learned he had a boyfriend in S3 it made sense. So yes, there was build-up, even when Clexa was still a thing (so not just after the backlash). Bryan was literally with Pike in Ice Nation and presumed dead by the people of Arkadia, so hence why we didn't see them (back) together before S3.

Bryan and Nathan are a great couple to have on our screens. They're survivors, they are strong, but they've also shown to need eachother. I hope they talk through their Farm Station-Trip issues and be happy again :) Briller were just a plot device from Jason to save the show's reputation and basically just "try" (and fail) to be a replacement for Lexa. I am surprised you would think that actually, I do understand why they come across as offensive.  Also to Charinfox, it really has nothing to do with class, I think they mean they don't represent because they are two gay men. So they are not filling the void in the way Jason, ahem 'hoped', 'corrupted', etc. because the thing that people are constantly trying to get across is that lesbians, yes females in relationships are the ones that are known to not have happy endings. And commonly and 'coincidentally' they are often killed after 'couples' moments with eachother if you know what I mean. But this kind of thing keeps falling on deaf ears. Look at Buffy the Vampire slayer, TVD, this is consantly a thing that happens. But gay guys have better endings than girls for the majority. Shadowhunters being one and many other shows. So as I say, it was something of an ill fitting replacement/cop out, take your pick. Try explaining this to a Bellarke fan though and they just laugh at you and act like sore winners. But this show has many disgraceful flaws and even the most dedicated of you would be a little selfish not to admit that.
