Since I’d written the best part of several parodies on twitter, I decided to go the whole hog and put up a parody of the 100, season 2, episodes 1 to 5.
Enjoy, my doves! Here is a link to episodes 1-5 of Season 1 and Here is a link to the latter half of Season 1
( Sing Me A Song of Murder Princesses )

A Clarke-Bellamy romantic arc is probably inevitable, because CW, but I have loved the entire evolution of their relationship thus far and would be tickled pink if they didn't go there. The world needs more platonic boy-girl friendships grounded in bonding over murder.

So, I super want them to kiss and get a romantic vibe from them. Also, just--I like romances, and I think they add to a story, and I can see no other romance I'd want for Clarke. Unless they went with Raven. I'd support that! Raven too deserves better and deserves to be appreciated. (I welcome this Wick guy if he will do it. I was terrified for a moment they were going in a Raven/Murphy direction and lord no.)

Which is something I'd normally cast a little bit of side-eye at. I think it's a very common thing that the boy protagonists get the lion's share of the "I am struggling to be a hero even though my inclination is to be a selfish dirtbag!" sorts of plots, while the girl protagonists are just too busy being strong female characters with mostly externalized conflicts. The old canard about how if you're a boy, goodness is something you do, whereas if you're a girl, it's something you are. It'd have been cool if Bellamy were a girl, especially because girl characters who act like Bellamy usually end up getting the full-on villain treatment.
... but actually, I like the characterization of Clarke and Raven a whole lot. I suppose it goes to show that even tropes we feel are too common (and maybe even a little bit sexist, in a well-intentioned way) can be awesome when done well.

Clarke and Raven's characterisations are great. Clarke is just so relentless, and Raven has a lot of things more usually given to a boy--arrogance and expertise--which she wears so well.
I maintain my own Clarke/Bellamy ship but can admit Clarke/Raven is a very good ship. It is sad that it is unlikely for a show to go there with their main characters. Indeed, I would be really happy if there was any LGBTQ representation on the show at all... *waits in hope*

BELLAMY: Yes, I know. You shot her.
MURPHY: I mean I was tortured by the Grounders. My suffering was enormous. Let me tell you about i-
BELLAMY: Your absorbing interest in ur own pain while a woman you shot screams in agony is v. uninteresting.
CLARKE’S MOM: Are you going to execute me?
SPACE VIZIER: I have to go make peace with the mutants so I’m making you president! Do you have whiplash?
SPACE VIZIER: Oooh, unfortunate turn of words. My B.
MURPHY: Hostages, I am sorry. You’re embarrassed, hostages. I’m embarrassed. Finn’s being embarrassing. He’s like that drunk persistent guy you bring to a party, except he has a machine gun.
FINN: Tell me or I kill you all!
MURPHY: I swear, I barely know him. It’s just he’s my ride home, you know? Gah.
CLARKE: *hugs* Because we’re a true sromance.
RAVEN: Sros 4 lyfe.
CLARKE: Sympathies on your leg.
RAVEN: Dealing with it awesomely. Am awesome.
OMG. I adore you. Also, am keeping sromance and sros. Because of reasons.

Also I am eternally sad that you never finished that parody. Even though I watched that soap all the way through and it was glorious. But I forgive you because I am pretty much a saint.
