Edit: This comic was originally made with Hozier’s ‘Nina Cried Power’ lyrics, which I didn’t realize was a song very specific to the Civil Rights movement. In retrospect, overlaying a comic of white lgbtq characters with these lyrics wasn’t a tactful decision.
I’ve changed the lyrics to Hozier’s ‘ From Eden’ now, and I want to ask you guys to reblog this version instead. Thank you!
Hello! I was rewatching season 3 because ... clexa and realized this. Clarke’s room in the tower is directly under the throne room. Which means that in Season 3 Episode 3, Clarke may have witnessed the Azgeda Ambassador fall past her window after Lexa pushed him off the tower. After Clarke and Lexa’s confrontation, Clarke returns to her room’s window. If we assume Lexa went directly up to her throne room after said confrontation, then Clarke seeing a falling body is a distinct possibility. Who knows, she may even have heard the confrontation in the throne room!
Here is a shot of Lexa standing on the balcony outside of the throne room at the end of Season 3 Episode 2. Note the shape of the balcony and the statues that “hold it up”.
Episode 3 starts with a scan up Polis Tower to Clarke’s bedroom. Just before it closes in on Clarke in the window, we see the top of the tower, including the Throne Room and balcony.
The camera closes in on our fearless Wanheda brooding while looking at the view. Note the statues on either side of the window.
How I wish they had filmed Clarke’s Reaction!

Q40: How do you start a new story?
A40: I start with the scene that the idea came to me with. I write out that scene as completely as possible. Afterwards, I re-read it and think of what is needed to make this scene make sense.
Day 6: a world building idea I had to give up.
I had wanted to connect my current wip to the northeast blackout of 2003 but that was not feasible with the timeline and setting.
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.
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
moleskine = bad
Loved this 100%! I remember watching the then groundbreaking “Ellen kiss” with my mom and sister when I was a teenager. This song and its performance on SNL feels even more groundbreaking. A young lesbian woman, in hyper femme drag, announcing not only that she is a giver but that she gets women off every time and better than any man is perfection.
Thank you Chappell Roan! I hope IRL you find all the givers and takers that your heart, body and mind desires.
Are those beavers or bears dancing in the background?
Chappell Roan debuts new song "The Giver" live on SNL 11/02/2024.
