I came to this friending meme purely because of your Clarke icon ;)

not even gonna lie, i'm very very defensive about Clarke. GOD that midseason finale just about killed me!

Everything about those characters is basically guaranteed to cause me pain, but CLARKE ESPECIALLY.

Octavia and Bellamy are my boos ♥

But Clarke is like #3 for me. I adore her.

I'M JUST DELIGHTED BY OCTAVIA'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

like, i was rewatching the pilot and the second episode with a friend (who's never seen it) and the difference is just SO STAGGERING.

basically though there are very few characters I dislike in the 100. Besides Murphy. Why are they still giving him screen time? ugh.

Murphy's the fucking worst. I can't stand Abby either.

I always had a lot of problems with Octavia's character development because it never really made sense for someone who's lived under a floorboard for years act like she does, but I always loved her anyways, and the way they've grown her as a person is wonderful. She and Lincoln are adorable too :')

My favourite relationship is Bell and Octavia though. Bro and sis are awesome.

IDEK who thought it was a good idea to give Murphy as much screen time as he's gotten. Seriously. I don't mind Abby - mostly because I can kind of see where she's coming from, but Jaha's motivation continually frustrates me because his character seems to do a 180 every time the episode demands it. eruugh.

ahaha - yeah - you'd expect her to have more, uh, issues wouldn't you? They kinda-sorta address it inthe second episode, but I'd love for them to address that a little more. Maybe the books do better?

BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIPS ARE A+ especially well written ones. Which happen once in a blue moon honestly.

We have a LOT of fandoms in common: sports anime (as I said in my comment, I watch the anime, I don't read the manga, so please warn for manga spoilers if you post about them), The 100, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Psych, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Doctor Who, Leverage, The Librarians, Pacific Rim, MCU, etc.

Do you want to be friends?

mapping_stars January 3 2015, 23:18:28 UTC
Yeah! I'd love to add you! :D

I'm all about adding new Librarians fans tbh. And sports anime! I'm behind on virtually everything, so you don't need to worry about me posting spoilers! The only thing I"m up to date on is Oofuri I think?

*adds you back*

The Librarians is such a fun show, with lots of cultural references that I love. :-)

I've seen the Oofuri anime. I would not mind more episodes. Though maybe not while Daiya no Ace airs, because there's so much baseball that I can watch at a time (every time I think I finally get the rules, something happens that makes no sense to me XD). Well, I watch it for the gay couples anyway. ^^

Yeah! I'm a sucker for series with cultural references in their worldbuilding. (The eastern dragons vs western dragons last week was A++)

Ah, I liked the anime too! I don't think we're getting anymore though - but the manga is really nice. So I didn't mind switching too much.

I tried Diya No Ace and I dropped it for whatever reason. And yeah. Baseball is hella long and the rules make no discernible sense to me. @_@ I love sports anime but hate sports. It's a vicious cycle.

Yeah, I don't enjoy Daiya no Ace as much as the other sports anime, but it's still quite good.

I never watch RL sports. You can only see the sports stuff happening from afar, what's interesting with sports anime is the characters, their interactions during the games and even more their interactions outside the games (where they have more time to be couple-y).

mapping_stars January 4 2015, 21:29:45 UTC
haha, it was really cute from what I saw, I think I just had too many going at once. (I try to balance watching anime/vs/live action because I find I get sick of one genre if I watch too much of the same.)

sports anime character interaction is the BEST STUFF. omg. i'm hit or miss with slash ships, but i'm such a sucker for team dynamics/partner dynamics.

IKR? It's really hard to tell whos doing what on the screen. >_> plus the constant pausing/slow-mo/rewinding drives me crazy. although I went to a sports bar last year during the winter olympics and watching them do curling was HILARIOUS. we were at the restaurant for three hours and the score never changed?? we still couldn't figure out the rules.

Even if you don't ship some characters, you still get amazing friendships. That's great too.

I had no idea curling lasted that long. But of course I have very little knowledge of curling apart from the basic sweeping-the-ice-to-get-the-stone-to-advance-more.
