Sharing Is Caring

Ummm, is it just me  but ...

Be warned: Slight spoilers if you haven’t watched S04E12 “The Chosen” yet

... I was surprised that Clarke didn’t say goodbye to Niylah in this episode. Worse, Clarke left Niylah in a room of scarred skaikru. Clarke didn’t even ask Abby to make sure that Niylah was in the lottery - like Emori asked to be. Wow! Clarke, what the hell. I know that people die after sleeping with you but don’t assume that is always the case. Yes, I know that Niylah is not Clarke’s soulmate but at least a, “thanks for the snuggles and being supportive even after I stole the bunker” from Clarke before she headed off in a hazmat suit, would have been nice. Just sayin’

Day Thirty-two

of @the-wip-project‘s challenge

Q22: What’s your favorite trope you’re not writing and why?

A22: Best friends to lovers. In my wip, the protagonist is pansexual whereas her bff is a gay man who comes out during the story. I want to show a healthy(ish) friendship between a man and a woman without sexual tension or romantic undertones.

An innocent man is being framed.

❔❓❔

I already thought he was evil. This confirms it.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

OMG! Thank you thank you thank you!

I took one for the team and made a supercut of every Clexa scene in full HD, enjoy.

And Kane just backs up to move out of bell’s way. Wtf?

Day 655 without Lexa

Bell unnecessarily inserting him into a situation yet again– probably just jealous of the intense eye-fucking that happened immediately prior to this

Day 15 of @the-wip-project ‘s 100 day challenge

Does your WIP have fairytales? Do your characters tell mythical stories to each other?

No, not in my current wip but I love this idea! If I can think of a way to do the above that adds to the story of my wip, I will.

Love it!

Day 9’s question is above. I’ve never actually thought of writing in terms of competing elements. If anything, and to continue with the sports analogy, I think that all elements of the story should work together as a team to make a story captivating. My favourite books and movies have stories with strong characters that are pushed into difficult situations.

Thanks for these questions @the-wip-project ! They are very thought provoking

Clexaweek2019 Basics

Okay kru, Clexaweek2019 officially begins tomorrow so here’s a refresher on the Clexaweek basics!

THEMES:  Monday 02/25 - Useless Lesbian Tuesday 02/26 - No Strings Attached Wednesday 02/27 - Only One Bed Thursday 02/28 - Nipples Friday 03/01 - Tinder AU & Nerd/Popular Trope Saturday 03/02 - Enemies to Lovers Sunday 03/03 - Free Day

Use the tags #Clexaweek2019, #Day (_), and #(prompt). Make sure you put those first three tags in first because as we all know, tags and searching can be finicky. Feel free to use whatever other tags you want (#Clexa, #Clexa fic, #Clexa fanart, what have you), but just make sure to definitely list those three at the beginning. You can submit a link to me here, either directly to the work or to your tumblr post, and I will reblog it. If you post on ao3, add the work to the collection Clexaweek2019.

Please remember to leave a comment on a fic you read. Even something as simple as “ajfkdsajlfdk;sa” is very much appreciated. Kudos are nice, but comments are the real validation. Please, please, please leave a comment! Please remember to reblog and not just like posts on Tumblr. When people make art and moodboards etc, reblogging is how the post is spread and showed to more people. And feel free to comment on those too (and creators love stalking the tags to see what people say as well!). Letting a creator know what’s awesome about their work is what encourages them to continue creating, so please keep that in mind! We all support each other here! That being said, usually every year there’s at least one troll who posts a stupid (and terribly written) fic on purpose to try to get attention. If that happens, IGNORE it. Don’t give it hits, don’t comment on it, nothing. Report it if the tags are incorrect, but otherwise ao3 can’t do much, so don’t give the troll any attention. Our fandom is so big and awesome that new works will flood the tag anyway so yeah, just let those terrible works fade into obscurity. 

At the end of Clexaweek, I will make a masterlist of all the content created. My fandom wife @clexabookmarks also makes lists of the new fics. If you notice we’ve missed a work just let us know! It can be so chaotic running this while working full time so it’s easy for some works to slip through the cracks. Just hit us up and we’ll add it in!

If you have any questions about Clexaweek, ask here. If you want me to give you some prompts, you can hit up my ask box or you can peruse my tagged list of Clexa prompts. If you would like to view previous Clexaweek Events, they can be found here: Clexaweek2017, Clexaweek2018. There are also Clexaweek collections on ao3.

HAVE FUN! :D Can’t wait to see what you all come up with! I’ve missed you all, kru. Welcome home.
