"In peace may you leave this shore. In love may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again."
It's probably hard to describe the feeling of being this incredibly sad for the death of a fictional character.
There's a lot of hate on Twitter and Tumblr (which I start following for the gifs, fan arts and spoilers), mainly for the misrepresentation of the LGBT, lesbian pretty much always dies, especially once we find our happiness. But I have to say it could've been much worse, and I think the writers tried their best to give Lexa a proper death.
1. Before she died she made Titus promise not to hurt Clarke
2. She told Clarke the next commander will protect her
3. Clarke said she doesn't want the next commander but she wants Lexa
4. Lexa told Clarke she was right, life should be much more about surviving
5. Lexa died knowing Clarke loves her too
6. Lexa's death moved the story significantly forward
The only problem I have is the main producer who keep promoting the episode as "A major plot twist" blah blah, which is very insensitive to a community who has been discriminated and misunderstood for generations after generations.
Lexa meant a lot to a lot of people. For me, it was the happy escape from my turmoil daily life. The thought of Clexa always puts a smile on my face. Those little micro expressions of Eliza Taylor and Alycia Dabnamcarry make the emotions very real and believable. For some people, maybe is a bit more.
But in general I'm not angry, just very very sad. What really broke me is how much it reminded me the death and passage of my love ones, and how every journey comes to an end and no matter how much we love each other, how much we try to hold on, in the end death always separates us.
May we meet again, but perhaps we never do.
