Should The Ship Bellarke FINALLY happen?


Hey everyone, I know I've been gone awhile, but hopefully I'm back and going to be running this blog regularly. I think I felt a bit stuck, but I found some topics I'd like to discuss! Now, this one is a TV show, but it is loosely based off the series The 100 by Kass Morgan. So, it still sticks with my main theme and I'd like to talk about this particular topic on a lot of our minds. 
The seventh and final season of The 100 is airing Weds. May 20th! The show is finally coming to a close and we all know that means anything can happen. I'm expecting a lot of surprises, a few new characters, and heartbreaking deaths. But one thing I'm hoping for that many of us fans have our hearts set on is that Clarke and Bellamy will finally get together and have their happy ending! Yes, that probably sucks for Echo. But just from watching the trailer I feel like there will be some type of conflict between her and Bellamy where their romance will end. Nothing has happened between them in the trailer, but just some of her words and actions have made me feel like this. 
This would give Clarke and Bellamy of course an open opportunity to start an actual romantic relationship. I know the Clexa fans are hoping it does not happen because this pairing would definitely override the Clarke and Lexa relationship. But Lexa is dead and has been for awhile. In this show, no one comes back to life! So we need to let that ship finally sink and let Clarke be happy. It doesn't mean Clarke doesn't love Lexa. Plus, I don't think their relationship was a good one. Not at all! This is coming from someone who is a supporter of the LGBT community. Honestly, think about it. Lexa betrayed Clarke at Mt. Weather and had her exboyfriend (that Clarke still loved) killed. Of course Lexa had good reason since Finn killed many of Lexa's people. I don't care that she killed Finn. But she broke Clarke's heart twice. Then when she needed Clarke the most, she had her kidnapped just so she could talk to her about joining forces again. Also, their romance lasted one night and then Lexa got shot. It wasn't long, it wasn't healthy, and it's over. 

Clarke and Bellamy went from practically hating each other to being best friends! These two have such a strong relationship that has been continuously building in the show. Clarke and Bellamy have taken it upon themselves to be the leaders for their people. In doing this, it makes them look like the mother and father of the group. These two have done questionable things separate and together. They know each other's worst and best parts. They constantly give each other forgiveness when they feel like no one will. Clarke had taken the killing in Mt. Weather on her shoulders even though Bellamy had pulled the lever with her. She did this so Bellamy wouldn't have to shoulder the burden after everything he had already been through. Bellamy refused to be on the list on the bunker members unless Clarke was on it. He even wrote Clarke's name for her. They did not want to lose each other. Even though they still have disagreements, they manage to work it out and compromise together. Clarke and Bellamy are the head and the heart to each other and that's how they work out problems together. Whenever they see each other they hug and it's not one armed or quick. These hugs are long, emotional, tight, fierce, and comforting. They have expressed multiple times that they don't want to and can not lose one another. They also have proven this. Especially, in the last season when Clarke's heart had stopped beating, Bellamy made her heart beat again and brought Clarke back to life. They have the strongest relationship out of everyone on the show. Octavia and Bellamy aren't even as strong, Octavia hated Bellamy and Bellamy hated Octavia at different times during the show. Yes, they forgave each other after a long time of waiting. But Bellamy and Clarke never hated each other after the first season. Their relationship just continued to grow. Even when Clarke nearly got Octavia killed twice, Bellamy found it in his heart to forgive her. I think that's because he believed Clarke had good intentions and she did realize her mistakes and owned up to them. I feel like these two would choose each other over almost anyone else. There was a time I felt like Bellamy would choose Octavia over Clarke, but not anymore. Clarke would only choose Maddie over Bellamy which is understandable because that's basically her child. Other than that, these two have each other's backs. They fiercely defend and protect one another no matter what it takes. When Bellamy found out Clarke was alive after thinking she was dead for six years I thought he was going to burst into tears of joy. Of course he was shocked and didn't have time to really process the fact that Clarke was still around. Bellamy went to go rescue her and was willing to risk hundreds of lives just to save hers. Clarke did the same thing for Bellamy when she had him brought to the bunker. These two are obviously in love and they need to have their epic conclusion of a romance. Even if it's one of them just finally confessing their love before the other one dies. Let it happen!
