Believe it or not, it’s been five years exactly since The 100 aired its hundredth and final episode. We still think about the show for several reasons, but the one that continues to weigh heavily on our minds is Bellarke, also known as the fan ship of Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) and Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley).

From the first time Bellamy called Clarke “princess” back in Season 1 all the way up until their fateful reunion in Season 7, we held out hope that the CW sci-fi drama would finally recognize that the two were meant for each other.
