The reason Clarke and Lexa were so unique wasn’t just because they were a main f/f couple. They had a dynamic that is extremely rare to see in YA fiction.

In most YA fiction, there’s a broken boy who does stupid things (acts out, kills people, whatever, all in the name of Man Pain), and a girl who has her act together but is insecure for whatever reason and needs the Approval of the boy. The girl fixes the boy and the boy gives the girl his approval. Okay, cool, pretty disgusting but whatever, it seems to be what sells considering it’s a decent reflection of our broken society: girls are constantly told they need the approval of a boy no matter how amazing they are on their own, and boys are never allowed to show emotions so they violently act out.

But Clarke and Lexa? They were both good on their own. They were both powerful leaders who led their people to do great things. They didn’t need each other, no, but they wanted each other. They achieved their goals on their own, but they were lonely. Lexa inspired Clarke to lead, and Clarke inspired Lexa to let down her walls. They both found the areas the other was weak in and made each other stronger. They loved each other because they made each other stronger, but they also loved each other unconditionally. 

I can’t believe they threw that away for the same gross codependent het story we’ve seen a thousand times.

This is brilliant! Reasons for becoming an astronaut! This is number 1.

The Clexa impact: Joy Vs Devastation

This is what I wanted to do from the start but thought it would be too painful. Thanks @cliclar for convincing me to do it. The contrast is stark. To think that these scenes happened 1m10s after each other. No time at all to be happy and busk in the joy that finally, finally these two people were happy and you were happy for them.

Human beings do not live forever… We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity. So it may be asked what value is there to a human life. There is so much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye? I learned a long time ago…that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant. Do you understand what I am saying? A man must fill his life with meaning, meaning is not automatically given to life. It is hard work to fill one’s life with meaning. That I do not think you understand yet. A life filled with meaning is worthy of rest. I want to be worthy of rest when I am no longer here.
