i hate seeing people say she doesnt care when shes always nothing but sweet and always says positive things, and her friends (mercedes) says positive things to other people about us, and the fact that she ALWAYS takes pics or gives attention to everyone there when she doesnt have to at all is so<3333 i love that smol noodle😫

amayazari:

tbt those times alycia literally broke away from her own security team to take pictures with fans.

tbt those times alycia has to be pulled away from groups of people because her team needs her to be somewhere else despite her willingness and desire to get to everybody

tbt alycia held up traffic just to sign autographs

tbt alycia saying things like “i’m so glad you found me!” and “you’re so cute you’re shaking!” to people

tbt alycia being super down to earth and introducing herself to fans like it’s not a momentous occasion for them and instead just a casual encounter to ease nerves

honestly alycia has never been anything but a fuckin delight to everyone that’s met her but because she’s not really on social media and cares about her privacy she apparently hates her fans,,,

okay.

I’ve read some rather toxic, gossip-y things where someone tries to insinuate that they *know* how this young actress feels, what she thinks and what she believes without the benefit of any real knowledge of her; there seems to be an agenda with comparing her to how Eliza Taylor behaves (re: Clexa) which is hardly a fair-minded thing to do (since such comparisons inevitably try to make one person look better than the other, and all based on specious evidence and one-sided commentary). I’ve also read some rather unsettling, threatening-type of posts that all but demand her to be more ‘involved’ (ie: use social media) or risk her entire career. The absurdity of it is mind-boggling.

She has said that she prefers to let her work speak for her; as someone who is also very shy of the public and social media, as someone who has been stalked before (by a so-called ‘friend’ no less), I can absolutely relate. We can only be fans of what they do – being a fan of the ‘person’ is a far more complicated thing since the real person is one you will likely never get to know, only a version they present to you (ie: through social media), and that version will likely be one that tries to impress you in some fashion. I admire that she doesn’t ‘play a part’ to her audience that way. I also understand that as we are in the post-Facebook ‘privacy is dead’ age, more young people have a ‘natural’ expectation of communication through social media and it might be hard for some to understand why using it just isn’t for everyone. Why privacy and respect for others is so important.

I wouldn’t want to be a young actress today for anything.

I was sent a card with this image of Alice (in Wonderland) by an artist named David Delamare:

I was so struck by the resemblance to ADC, she might have been the model for it (though I doubt it).

If you can find it, Delamare’s version of Alice is quite striking and strange.

You know, i constantly see the excuse that it was due to Alycia’s schedule that she was killed off The 100. That she had to go to shoot FTWD bc she was a regular and that was the scheduling conflict. Now, what if the ‘schedule conflict’ was only for episodes 3.08-15? That Alycia could not be in these episodes due to her leaving to film FTWD 2a? But, maybe she said she could be in 4a since she would be on break?? And we know that she is on vacation for 5 months, and one of the writers said she wanted to comeback…

So, next time you see the ‘scheduling’ excuse….what if the only scheduling conflict was these episodes in 3b? Like Jason didn’t even think about Clarke leaving for Arkadia or Lexa going off somewhere, to then reunite in the finale and Lexa helps draw Clarke back to the ‘real reality’ due to their love; something that ALIE could not stop. You know love is strength….love is the greatest weapon.

Her schedule or ‘scheduling conflicts’ cannot be taken seriously as an excuse. There are only two that work: 1. the actor didn’t want to come back (and not found any interview to substantiate this) 2. the writers wrote themselves up a chimney.

The writing team/Jroth created this storyline. It fit the story they/he wanted to tell. Judging by all the pain this show likes to bring, he probably wanted a Big Pain Moment in s3 and killing Lexa was perfect. That is why Lexa is dead. No other reason. If her schedule was a concern (like the production team not wanting to worry about whether she might be available at such-and-such a time), they could have written any number of scenarios that made Lexa ‘disappear’ for a bit without killing her off. It was a failure of imagination. The entire season was an exercise in ‘how to write yourself into one corner after another.’

It’s hard to imagine a young actor landing such a prize role, a rare sort of part for a woman, no less, and just walking away from it. She had no choice but to go along with their choices. It was stupid, it was wasteful and it broke a lot of hearts. To blame all that on someone’s clearly flexible schedule, is just ridiculous and, in this case, considering all the hurt, the act of cowards refusing to accept responsibility for their actions.

cstia:

wow, shade him, honey. damn

Is there a link to where this came from?

“A young,earnest beacon of light on our screens. She’s a chameleon. She could literally play any part in any story and we’d be convinced.”

Lovely write-up of ADC in TV After Dark: Scene Stealer.

Last time I was floored by an actor, it was Kate Winslet in Heavenly Creatures. We were saying how she was going to go far – next thing that happened, award noms galore for Sense and Sensibility. She did a few little-remembered indies after that, something on a boat, and eventually won a tonne of awards. I don’t hold with awards, really, but talent tends to out itself.

I think ADC might have a very interesting career. Hopefully her next role(s) will help her expand even further, so long as she doesn’t fall into ‘The Girl’ stuff (I don’t see her doing rom-coms), makes some unexpected turns, maybe, we’ll be talking about her years from now.

Okay but Alycia as Poison Ivy.

gxlgadot:

see……..im really not on board with the whole alycia as ivy thing like, she would /look/ amazing dont get me wrong but idk i just cant really see her pulling it off?

I can see it. The kid has got chops and she doesn’t show off beforehand. It would be a smart move for a few reasons beside: not only her looks and acting skill, but Poison Ivy is a queer character and ADC has a strong queer fanbase. Anyone looking to cast that role would be looking at that, as well. She’d bring an audience with her.

With that interview of Alycia saying she’s free for 4-5 months (and the loo just started filming) many people are incredibly mad and fuming… Could the country twitter accounts decide on a trend name and time? People need to let some of that anger out and if we make it ww and get an article dragging Jatan through the mud all the better. Recently we didn’t go ww because we didn’t coordinate, people tweeted 5 months throughout the whole day.

Where is the interview?

I don’t know if we’ll get any article for trending, but it’s important to put the receipts together and share on tumblr/twitter. If anyone can do it, do it!

About the tag, talk to @quarkzero and other country accs on twitter, tell us if you come up with something.

and today we trended WW. and yes, it didn’t go up because it was all throughout the day and we had the FIVE/5 confusion. but a reminder that this was also a Lexa trend.

interview @clexabrasil

Jatan’s excuses for killing Lexa have been:

Lexa had to die for the plot to introduce the chip/link ALIE to the grounders –

Absolute and utter bullcrap: s3b does not have a plot, Clarke had the chip in her neck and survived (so could have Lexa) + there’s countless (more interesting) ways to tell the story the same way without killing her.

Alycia had to go to Fear –

Alycia was flying from Mexico to Vancouver to film 304 (Zach told us at Wizard Con), she has been filming both since the beginning. Fear finished filming awhile ago (does anyone know the date of the wrap up party?), Alycia had at least one month free between Fear finishing S2 and the loo starting to film S4.

What other people have been saying:

Alycia wanted to move on to another show –

ADC stated multiple times Lexa was her favorite character to play, and that she was very sad to let her go. This woman flew from MEXICO to VANCOUVER (that’s flying 6 hours) to be able to still play Lexa. She finished filming something for Fear today, flew the next day, and then the next day filmed a complicated fighting choreography she learned THAT DAY.

AMC wouldn’t let her –

AMC has let ADC film both shows for season 3, why would they say no to season 4? Coleman is always talking about how great AMC is for letting him to pursue his musical career while filming. + Jatan was saying AMC was great at negotiating at the begging of S3.

Conclusion: EVERYTHING we’ve been given as a reason for why Lexa had to die is a lie. He just wanted to kill Lexa, but he is too much of a coward to admit it and face consequences.

The problem is many people don’t know this. I’ve alone argued with 3-4 people in the comment section of the TV spoiler poll that Alycia is free to film.

I hate it so much people are falling for Jatan’s lies and put the blame on AMC and Alycia when it all truly was just Jatan wanting to kill her off because of his EGO.

I don’t want Lexa back on the show, I’m glad Alycia is free and hopefully Eliza will soon be too, but I hate it so much Jatan gets away by blaming everyone but himself for HIS choice.

I’ve literally been talking about his for months but now y’all wanna catch on. I’m bitter…. lol

Also: Lexa had to die to show the conclave and how the commander is chosen. Then they skip the whole fucking conclave and regardless, the conclave is the dumbest fucking thing ever that makes no sense whatsoever.

Not disagreeing with the gist of all of this, but last year’s schedule for FTWD might have been different than what they are doing this year. If Alycia was flying back and forth between two sets, that does point to an overlap in filming on both shows. Not that this was in any way a legit reason for killing off the character (it’s fiction, they could have done ANYTHING) – just the reality of filming.

But it’s also beating a dead horse, so to speak: Lexa died because that was the story Jroth wanted to tell. His imagination couldn’t work out anything better.

Hey there I was just thinking about what you wrote about fans and ppl like Alycia, like all the invasions of privacy & how sh’es not comfortable with being so open & I think that is like the whole thing. YOunger peple today expect everybody to be open & sharing everything like Eliza does. They don’ t trust ppl who are more private and want more so they steal from htem or try to reveal them & its like this vicious cycle. My gen expects everyone to share everything. It’s not right.

I t think you hit a nail on the proverbial head: Millenials have grown up in the Facebook era of the so-called ‘end of privacy’ so sharing lots of photos and videos is just the norm.

As someone who was around when the Internet was first a ‘thing’ we were all about anonymity. It was encouraged then, too. Once FB happened, though, it seemed like privacy was out the window. Every life becomes a cautionary tale. Older people not trusted by younger people. They have a different moral stance.

There is protection in having some privacy, some anonymity, and knowing that you don’t owe anyone your private life. Maybe the attitude of younger people is that they’ve never experienced so much anonymity or privacy, so they don’t value it the same. Maybe that is at the heart of where some people are coming from about actors or other celebs who don’t want to share that much, are uncomfortable doing so. Their fans feel the can’t really trust them. I don’t know, but I think it’s an interesting idea and might be worth more discussion or writing about (if it hasn’t been already). Might help explain some of the policing going on, too (though that’s an older problem as well and reaches a little deeper in other directions).

Thanks for your thoughts.
