Right. Seeing too much of this again.  

Why do you all think ADC doesn’t like her fans or doesn’t want them?  Where are you getting this from?

– Her character was killed off and the fury over that is still resonating – she clearly doesn’t want to step on anyone’s toes over it or start another shit storm. She’s cautious with what she says.  She also knows it is not about her – but the character, about what happened and she’s respectful of fan’s voices.  

– She hasn’t played the character in months and has not been asked back for s4.  They don’t want her and she’s on another show that she is contractually obligated to promote. She’s a young actress starting her career.  She isn’t going to piss off her current bosses over a show she is no longer connected with.  

– She carried around the Clexa fan art book today during promotion for her own show and, according to fans, kept her security at bay so she could meet her fans and get photos/autos.  

– She isn’t Eliza Taylor and she isn’t going to go around talking up Clexa while promoting her own show.  No one asks her about it while promoting her show.  Eliza talking up Clexa has been a clever way to steer the narrative of her show so that no one winds up getting hurt again. She isn’t just going on about Clexa because she’s a fan.  There’s some political skill to it.  It’s had it’s effect: even Rothenberg called Clexa ‘soulmates’ at SDCC and it looks unlikely that Clarke will have any love interests this year.  Comparing the two actors who are in two completely different situations isn’t really fair.

– Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say.  She’s not savvy with the social media.  She’s been the target of plenty of hate and strangeness and privacy invasion.  She protects herself and who can blame her?  

Stop imagining the worst about them.  They’re just people trying to do their jobs in a demanding climate where ten million things are coming at them at once.  It isn’t something personal against the audience.  Time bears this out.  Wait ten years and see what they’re like then. 

PS: maybe consider that disparaging someone over how you want them to behave (especially by comparing them to someone you favour) isn’t much different than those who police young women’s behaviour in general.  

I love Alycia but she really doesn’t get it sometimes. And honestly it seems like sometimes she doesn’t really try to. This is why I like Eliza. She tries so hard to get it and I think in her own way she definitely does. She evens straight up said she supports LGBT even tho some would like her not to. Idk Alycia’s nice and she cares, but she definitely would rather focus on herself and forget about us and Lexa

Here’s the difference between the two. Eliza is in love with Clarke/Lexa/Clexa. Lexa was a piece of art to ADC. That’s it, and it makes all the difference in the world. They are different ppl, who are different actors. And view and approach the art differently. 

And one more thing, you gotta think ADC is ready to move on from Lexa. Move way on, far and away. But… can you blame her?

May I add something to this?

Eliza Taylor has a contract and a show to promote.  She is also clearly trying to steer the narrative of that show so that no further insult or injury happens to fans. She still has to live and sleep with it all for another year at least and she’s not wasting any public opportunities.  It’s smart, but it’s also a little self-serving (but in the right way).

ADC has no such contract and could very well be constrained from doing anything that even smacks of promoting The 100.  This is no small thing.  And, I can only imagine that this often shy and very private young lady (who has been on the receiving end of plenty of weirdness and privacy violations) has NO desire to do ANYTHING that might cause another shit storm for Clexa fans.  She knows they’ve been hurt and she’s never sought to personally benefit from it. 

I agree she is likely ready to move on, but maybe she never got to enjoy the fan attention because of what happened.  That has to be a bit of a bummer, too.

Actor Alycia Debnam-Carey accepts the award for Fan Freakout at the MTV Fandom Awards San Diego at PETCO Park on July 21, 2016 in San Diego, California.

Can we appreciate what a strange award this is and the irony that the one person on this show, whose own privacy was frequently violated, who has sought no gain from the exploitation of the ‘fan freak-out’ (is this meant to demean what happened?) is the one it is presented to?

Alycia makes it so hard to stan cause she barely has any new content and when she does post pictures they’re like 75 ft away and she’s wearing sunglasses, three sunhats, and turning to the side and all I can really say is wow look at that attractive ant.

Maybe that’s the point.  

I don’t think she’s comfortable being ‘stanned.’
