While there are strong opinions every which way on this (which I completely respect), I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t add Bellarke to the list. I love their journey and the pace of it. They’ve gone from adversaries to co-leaders to friends who mean something more to each other. They depend on each other, and they’re vulnerable with each other in a way they aren’t with the others. It’s a deep understanding, and it’s been developing for three seasons now – during which they’ve loved others, all love stories in their own rights. We’ve had patience, and we can find more. I’m ready for these two to be back on the same team, leading together (which we were seeing again toward the end of Season 3). They’ve forgiven each other, and they’ve always been better together – so what’s next? While I’m sure these two will be just a little preoccupied saving their people and the world, again, I’m ready to see them taking more steps toward that

. Give me domestic moments. Give me them checking in on each other, and leaning on each other in the small, quiet, stolen moments. And if by the end of the season, we have some confessed feelings and even just one kiss – I, for one, wouldn’t hate that.
