does bellarke stand a chance?

well.

they've got chemistry, but of the platonic kind. personally, i've never seen them in a romantic light; many others have, though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don't know if the show runners will go the traditional main male character/female character route, in which case this would be bellarke. i don't know if they want to "subvert" that trope and either a) put clarke with someone else or b) make clarke end up alone. i don't know if they'll end up putting clarke and bellamy together because of fanservice or if c/b's relationship actually does start taking a turn toward the romantic, which - in my view - i have not seen any sign of (yet). if that does happen, fine. they've earned it through the development that's occurred.

things aren't looking that way so far though, so i don't know. i like clexa a lot, but i can't conceivably see them lasting throughout the entire series unless something drastically changes in season 3. so otherwise i'm rooting for clarke to not end up with anyone.

tl;dr bellarke certainly has the platonic chemistry. does it have the romantic chemistry?

maybe it will later. but for now, i don't see it.
