Somedays I just really fucking miss Lexa ya know *UGLY CRIES*
Like….what was Rottenbleurgh thinking??? If I ponder it too much it totally rattles my noodle
@weasal the combination of your demonic whispering and my weird face-swapped coupon are making us the hottest lesbian couple on tumblr, you know that right?!
This, exactly. Similar lighting, colouring, pacing. The grandness of the room. The black blood. The flame-y transition as she returns from the shower (Lexa’s candles, the flame itself). She is clean (for a moment), but she’s never allowed peace. It’s not a clear-cut foreshadowing of death, but it is suggestive.
Missed opportunity, though: as she lays in bed, she could have turned to her left, seeing a bare back, a familiar tattoo – then the noise and having to shake herself out of it to investigate.
The music though – it’s not the Clexa theme (unless heavily truncated), though it certainly puts that theme in mind.
Lexa is so calculated, she never does anything for no reason. She’s seen first hand how weak Clarke is for sweaty Heda (aren’t we all?!) It first happened in 2×10 when she saved Clarke from Quint and noticed how dilated Clarke’s pupils had become when she clocked the light sheen on Lexa’s face. And you just know that when Lexa sweats she smells like pure musky sex (she’s also noticed Clarke leaning in to take a subtle sniff when she’s wearing the coat.) So of course she starts wearing it ALL the time to drive Clarke crazy.
There’s absolutely no reason for her to be sparring with the Nightbloods in that coat, but she knows Clarke has requested to see her afterwards and wants to get a good sweat on. Lexa’s sex musk and coat combo are part of the reason that Clarke can’t go through with killing her in 3×03.
Let’s also think about how Lexa likes to turn up at Clarke’s bedroom door wearing that coat and nothing else……
Someone needs to write a fic about Lexa arriving at Clarke’s boudoir in the Polis tower. All fur coat and nae knickers.
@femininenachos fur coat and nae knickers is what Clarksy calls Lexa in The Hunnerverse, when Lexa buys a faux fur coat to survive the Weegie winter!
just sayin…
That poor woman.
Lexa’s hasn’t got a shred of dignity left.
We’ll be back here, twenty years from now, and there she’ll be: middle-aged, naked, vapin’. All rusty nails and a tragic emo combover. Murphy does a candle drop off drive by every other Tuesday. She hustles matches from kids on their way to school.
Clarksy will be in Paris with two kids no one knows the father of, vegan, living with the evil twin, whom she left her for in ‘22. She dresses in Dior even to the market. She secretly tags Weegie!Lexa’s face all over
Faubourg Saint-Germain.
They reunite a year later when Lexa finally goes cold turkey with the candles and shows up to a Stella McCartney Retrospective in her old school togs (cleanest thing she could find) and the faux fur, and the kids nearly beat the shit out of her for ‘breaking mum’s thimble collection’ and she realises they weren’t talking about her, and when they meet in the ladies it’s like the years never were and they’re arrested for lewd conduct and they finally settle down in Switzerland and raise Alsatians.
Calling all those strongly opposed to Karamel as a couple, Mon-El as a character, and the deplorable writing of the Supergirl staff and the toxic messages they’re sending: racism, sexism, misogyny.
We have the power to incite change. We have the power to turn the tables. Write them. Write media outlets. I’ve read some of your arguments, and they are great. Send them. Flood their inboxes. Give them all the negative press we can. Target the sponsors of the show.
If you are sick and tired of seeing them neglect Alex/Maggie in favor of Kara/Mon-El who spend 99% of the time arguing, tell them. If you are disgusted by the way The CW canned the interracial coupling of Kara/James as soon as they switched networks in favor of a white male, express yourself! If you are baffled by the message they are spreading by insinuating that we as women are supposed to forgive the man in the span of a few hours no matter how deeply betrayed or hurt we feel, let it be heard! If you are pissed because they sent M’gann to her home planet therefore alienating (pun intended) yet another black man to allow for more Mon-El screen time, shout it out! Whatever has struck a nerve with how terribly this season has gone all because of a privileged frat boy from Daxam crash landing on earth, let them know.
Don’t think it won’t matter. It will. Ratings matter. The show may be renewed for season 3, but we have the power to dictate how that season will play out. Storylines are NOT set in stone. We have to be proactive! Raise hell. Stand up for Kara Zor-El because clearly we cannot trust anyone else to do it for her. Let’s take our show back.
If anyone remembers the shit storm with The 100 and the whole Lincoln/Lexa thing, then you already know what a fandom can do when they write sponsors and fight for their voices to be heard.
