Talk:Clarke and Finn/@comment-138.237.245.211-20141113180539/@comment-24.99.67.19-20141120233726

Finn didn't take the wristband off just for Raven. Finn realized that they needed the people on the Ark if they were going to survive. Also, the people on the Ark needed to know that they could survive on earth so they too could survive. Remember Finn's words after Monty fried the wristband, "They're going to die up there and we're alone!"

Finn and Clarke were attracted to each other, but Finn had made no real romantic advances toward her. After all, they were only just getting to know each other. Finn didn't plan to sleep with Clarke. It was a spontaneous moment born out of need for comfort. But they both confessed that they had feelings for each other as well.

Finn had known Raven all their lives, and it was probably the only girlfriend he had ever had. But he meets someone new. You don't choose whom you're attracted to. It just happens. Finn still feels a loyalty towards Raven and he genuinely cares for her. But he knows that he can't just ignore his feelings for Clarke, which BTW, kept growing stronger. But Clarke gave him no encouragement that she was willing to continue the relationship. So Finn is caught in the middle - loyal to one, and in live with the other.

IMO, if you truly love someone, you stand by them and help them through bad times. Finn needs Clarke more than ever to help him find his way back to the light. If Clarke can only love the old Finn, so be it. But she's not the old Clarke either. War has changed them both. Life can't always be ideal. Things change, and you're either flexible or not.
