Sean Monterrosa Was A 22 Year Old Hispanic Man. He Was Shot And Killed Yesterday By A Police Officer

since my writing post was received pretty well, i though i’d make other, to give some insight on the racism in the film industry and why it’s still a big problem now as it was in the past. 

Well if octavia in the water isnt a parallel to 1x01 I dont know what is

idk how anyone could argue that clarke is not bellamy’s number one priority. in 5x13, he told clarke he couldn’t leave his friends behind because he couldn’t do that again, referencing leaving her behind in 4x13. he couldn’t leave them behind because of his ptsd from leaving clarke. this is canon. and even though he did end up “leaving” his so-called family in 6x08, it was for clarke. it is literally canon that bellamy will not leave his family behind because of his ptsd from leaving clarke behind unless it’s to save clarke. his priority is her. he loves the rest of them, but he would choose her over them in a heartbeat, and he has. idc what jason says. bellamy says to clarke in 6x11, “how do we save everyone that i left behind?”, meaning that he put their safety aside while saving clarke and now has to find a way to save them. their safety came after clarke’s.

so, it’s honestly so funny to me that none of them were angry about that. you would think that the people who were attacking clarke in 6a would call bellamy out for choosing her over them, but they didn’t. murphy didn’t because he felt guilty about choosing himself and emori over clarke. emori didn’t because she also felt guilty. neither of them would have had a leg to stand on. raven didn’t because she was conveniently not around for Plot Reasons. and then e/cho didn’t because she just goes along with whatever bellamy does. four people who are canonically bellamy’s family have not said anything to bellamy about him choosing clarke over them…hm, almost like jroth is not fully committing to the story he’s writing…which is just so frustrating!! there is so much potential. it’s not that there aren’t good moments still in this show. there are, but things still fall flat at times because he doesn’t follow through.

let bellamy find out that his girlfriend tried to murder clarke!! let bellamy realize that e/cho is not this “changed” person and that he fell in love with a lie!! let bellamy find out he doesn’t even know his gf’s actual name!! let e/cho be upset that bellamy chose another woman over her!! let raven call bellamy out for not being as devoted to e/cho as he is to clarke!! let e/cho and clarke just be two people who tolerate each other because of bellamy because that hug came out of fucking nowhere. let clarke find out that bellamy poisoned his sister for her!! let bellamy ask clarke how she could radio him every day for six years and then leave him to die in the fighting pits instead of deleting that line/scene out of the show even though it was in the fucking trailer. let them talk about what those six years without each other did to them!! let them realize why it really is that they have always needed each other!! let clarke tell bellamy that she radioed him every day because she’s in love with him!! let bellamy tell clarke that a part of him died when she did because he’s in love with her too!! let this story fucking progress somewhere already!! it’s beautiful, but jroth is not letting it reach its full potential, and i swear to god, if he doesn’t come through with them in s7, then literally what was the point of any of this???

I have no choice but to stan Levitt 🙏

As protests against injustice in legal system, discrimination, police brutality spread through the US, it is necessary to educate yourself about these issues.

To all my black followers and friends, stay safe.

Also, I would like to add that black lives have always mattered, will always matter.

It’s awful that we even have to say that because it should be a given. However, we need to say it loud and clear for the racists.

We cannot be silent.
