As Sweet

by Wendy Cope

It’s all because we’re so alike
Twin souls, we two.
We smile at the expression, yes,
And know it’s true.

I told the shrink. He gave our love
A different name.
But he can call it what he likes-
It’s still the same.

I long to see you, hear your voice,
My narcissistic object-choice.

There is so much (likely) unintentional humour in 3×16: 

– The City of Light is full of serious-looking people headed to work – except Jasper who is wandering around with a goofy smile and an ice cream. 

– CoL Jasper thinking he could stop them entering the kill switch portal with his mere body.  

– Lexa punching Jasper.  

– Jasper’s real body reacting to Lexa’s punch.  

– Abby crouched ninja-style with a gun in front of Clarke – nobody touching her baby. 

– Ontari, The Really Useful Mostly Dead Nightblood.

– Alie’s chippies scaling Polis Tower only to be stopped on the ‘greased side.’  (Off screen, but it would have been funny)

– Bad CGI sky in the CoL.  Needs an upgrade. Oh. Wait.

– Little Alicia Clark showing up on her pink bike to show her soulmate Elyza Lex where the kill switch portal is.  

– Really bad ADR due to crappy script leaving all the good stuff out.

– Twist: Alie trying to save everyone from the after effects of the holocaust she created when she first tried to save everyone…with a holocaust.

aliciaclvrk:

i guess i want to make this clear: i will always ship clexa. im still going to be part of clexa fandom because i love this ship and it still owns my whole ass. obviously i can’t promise to stay here forever but right now, this is where my heart is and i don’t see another ship taking it away any time soon. the clexa fandom is very important to me and even though their canon story may be finished, there’s a lot more story left to write in this fandom. and i want to be here to see it.

While the Xena fandom had 6 seasons, we never got an onscreen confirmation. The fandom still endures.  So will Clexa.  She’s influenced so many young people.  Keep going, keep changing the world.   

To Watch Or Not To Watch?

lgbtfans:

With Thursday’s finale fast approaching, the question of whether to watch the episode live or at all presents itself.

Let us begin by stating that if episode 3×07 triggered you, we highly recommend that you do not risk watching it live. Instead, we suggest that you wait until a close friend of yours can watch the episode and advise you about what is best for you.

With that being said, we acknowledge and understand the desire, if not the visceral need, to see and say a final goodbye to our beloved Heda. Some of us want to say goodbye too. But if you decide to watch, maybe avoid doing it alone. Watch with some friends, or try to connect through skype with other LGBT Fans who are also watching.

Finally, if the content is triggering and you are feeling depressed, hopeless, worried you may harm yourself or, if you just want to talk, please contact someone: a relative, a friend, or one of the hotlines below.

Be safe. You are not alone.
