Talk:Clarke Griffin/@comment-26135076-20150325034638

I hate how some people are saying Clarke's a heartless bitch and that she doesn't deserve Bellamy and she doesn't appreciate him enough blah blah blah. In S1 she helped Bell recognize the good in him, how he would do anything for Octavia and made him see what a great leader he was and that the delinquents would die for him. She will always care for him and appreciate him. Clarke was really put through the wringer in S2, what with having to kill Finn (so he wouldn't be subjected to the Grounders torture) so she could establish an alliance with the woman who basically sentenced Finn to death. She sent Bellamy into Mt. Weather because Lexa drilled in her head that 'love is weakness' and she was hallucinating Finn and she pretty much turned off her feelings for the time being to focus on getting the 47 out because she didn't have time to wallow in her misery. So she went stone cold instead. Things got considerably worse as the season progressed, what with the bombing in tonDC and while she made a poor decision listening to Lexa and abandoning the village, I don't love Clarke any less. Nor do I ship Bellarke any less. Bellarke was badass in the S2 finale and Clarke (and Bell, if you count him putting his hand on top of Clarke's) basically elimanated a whole population of people to get her friends back. That combined with the other choices she made in S2 is bound to haunt her throughout S3. I say she well deserves a break from the helm after what she's endured this season. Bellamy understood this as well, what with his struggle and character development in S1 and Clarke being his council throughout. I honestly think they are meant for each other. To people who say Bellarke has no chemistry? Screw you. You are either blind or you hate the ship and/or Clarke so much that you refuse to recognize what they have. Even Jason has pointed out and is well aware of the strong emotional connection between Clarke and Bellamy. Their strong dynamic as leaders is something that cannot be ignored and the faith and trust they have in one another is undeniable. And it's been demonstrated throughout the show that they would do anything to protect each other. They've established a solid camaraderie that, whether you anti-bellarke shippers like it or not, may turn into something more. Maybe not, but, as quoted by Jason, "there's always season three."
