Talk:Clarke and Bellamy/@comment-25176701-20150118031103/@comment-142.1.60.164-20150217003745

There is not such thing as just one true love... and even the writers have said that there is a possibility of Bellarke happening, that being said what Finn and Bellamy did can not be compared.

Lets go with Finn first. 1)Finn loved Clarke, he wanted to protect her and was worried about her. There is no but here. 2) He was not thinking clearly and was obviouly shocked by everything that had happened until that point. But, the thing is so was everyone else. I think using Bellamy as an example is problematic but accurate because he was going through pretty much the same Finn was. Now he may not have "loved" Clarke at that moment (Even though i think he did) but he did care deeply for her, and not only that put he cared about the other kids too and the fact that he didn't knew were Octavia was also didn't help his sanity, but he didn't snap like Finn did. 3) Finn thought his friends were in that village and he wanted to help them. The problem with this is that there were no warriors in that village most of them were children and elders, they were no threat to them and It made the possibility of Clarke and the rest being there much more unlikely. 4) Finn was erratic and disturbed but that doesn't excuse his actions, and he did knew what he was doing, they weren't even attacking they were trying to run away from him. 5) The most problematic one is remorse after the fact. Finn didn't show remose at the begining which is why Clarke was so shocked, he only said he did nothing wrong that he was trying to protect them, the thing I hated the most was when he tried to put some of that remorse in Clarke but lets not go there. Eventually he did show remorse first when they were in the bunker and later when he turned himself in.

The redemeable quality here was that he did want to save Clarke, and that is the only thing I will give to his favor. But to be honest Finn sacrificing himself was the only way I could think that the situation could have resolved.

Now with Bellamy, as much as i love him now, his actions were very selfish. 1) He wanted to get rid of the radio to protect himself. There is not excuse for this he was being selfish we all now that. 2) He didn't know about the culling when he got rid of the radio. This is true he didn't know, but when we was confronted about this he didn't show remorse and he wasn't very helpful during the process of finding the radio and what they did later  to contact the arc. 3) He was protecting his sister. Sorry to say he wasn't, he was protecting himself. and only him. 4) He did show remorse later on. Now that I do give credit to because even though he did contribute to what is to date one of the most terrible things that have happened in the show he has actively and constantly shown that he does remember all the horrible things he has done. For example he understood why Finn did what he did even if he did not agree with him, he didn't judge him because he was no one to judge. 5) What he did affected the others undirectly. But it did affect them. I am torn here because i think he does hold responsability for what happened but not in the same way Finn did which is why I think of them as totally different. Finn Pulled the trigger. Bellamy didn't agree to the reduction of population, but he was involved in other ways.

Anyway, I do condone what Bellamy did, he's not perfect but he has tried to make himself better, so much that lots of people who use to hate him now don't. But what he did does have consequenses until this day, on the way he acts on the way he thinks of himself he has not forgiven himself for what he did and he is still trying to be better, that is why i forgive him.

Now I know that my conclusions for Finn and Bellamy's actions are very different but I'm working on the situation. Because the grounders wanted Finn dead, so the consequences of his actions were much harder. If Lexa hadn't asked for Finn to die and Finn showed how remorsefull he was and started actively trying to be better instead of denying it I do believe i would have forgiven him.

Now the last thing I wanna say is..(and this has nothing to do with all the other things I've said) I Think the fact that Finn and Clarke knew each other such little time makes it almost imposible for me to believe that Clarke and Finn were each others one true love. The producers and writers might have said it but if it is just difficult and i used to ship Flake. They may have loved each other but in what way? where they truly in love? for me love takes time that is why i think that if Bellarke were to happen I want it to be slow and complete.

SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING AND NONSENSE
