The Reason Clarke And Lexa Were So Unique Wasn’t Just Because They Were A Main F/f Couple. They Had

The reason Clarke and Lexa were so unique wasn’t just because they were a main f/f couple. They had a dynamic that is extremely rare to see in YA fiction.

In most YA fiction, there’s a broken boy who does stupid things (acts out, kills people, whatever, all in the name of Man Pain), and a girl who has her act together but is insecure for whatever reason and needs the Approval of the boy. The girl fixes the boy and the boy gives the girl his approval. Okay, cool, pretty disgusting but whatever, it seems to be what sells considering it’s a decent reflection of our broken society: girls are constantly told they need the approval of a boy no matter how amazing they are on their own, and boys are never allowed to show emotions so they violently act out.

But Clarke and Lexa? They were both good on their own. They were both powerful leaders who led their people to do great things. They didn’t need each other, no, but they wanted each other. They achieved their goals on their own, but they were lonely. Lexa inspired Clarke to lead, and Clarke inspired Lexa to let down her walls. They both found the areas the other was weak in and made each other stronger. They loved each other because they made each other stronger, but they also loved each other unconditionally. 

I can’t believe they threw that away for the same gross codependent het story we’ve seen a thousand times.

That's when you know you love someone, when they can interrupt one of these things and you are actually perfectly fine with it! Anybody else, they better hope it's a life threatening emergency...

When someone interrupts me while I’m:

-Listening to Music

-Watching YouTube

-Scrolling Through Tumblr

-Reading a Book

OMG! I think I just died a little inside that is hilariously adorable!

Have you ever wondered where books come from?

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

image

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

image

See how they happily line up to put them on:

image

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

image

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.
