Tumblr tends to be very America-centric so can we just turn our eyes for a minute to the UK
Specifically to this woman.
Earlier today, Jo Cox, a Labour MP in Northern England, was stabbed and shot at an event in a library.
It has just been confirmed that she has died due to the attack.
She was a great campaigner and humanitarian, and has left behind a husband and two children.
This kind of event happens rarely in the UK, and so this is terrifying and destabilising that such a horrific thing has happened to such a compassionate person.
Can thoughts on Tumblr turn to the UK today please, and turn to remember a woman who has been brutally murdered after a lifetime of trying to build a better country.
Guys, I’m begging you to reblog this Jo Cox was a representative, and she was shot while meeting with her constituents. She has been very vocally advocating for Syrian refugees to enter Britain, and was shot by a man who allegedly shouted “Britain first” several times. She died within an hour. <b>Please give her death and life the attention it deserves.

Beginning of a new era 6.05.16
Okay, but can we talk about the fact that this is Clarke’s face when she is listening to ALIE taunt Bellamy?
Look at the way her brows are scrunched up.
And how she swallows.
Yes, this is happening when Clarke, herself, is specifically brought up but when you look at her face, this does not look like Clarke just started to pay attention to everything ALIE was saying. This doesn’t look like a surprised or curious expression where Clarke realizes, “hey, she’s talking about me”. This looks like an expression that Clarke has been wearing on her face the entire time, just listening to ALIE torture Bellamy.
That, my friends, looks like pain.
For Bellamy.
Because Clarke must know how this will affect Bellamy. Clarke must remember that night where she listened to him cry and say the words “I’m a monster” back at that tree. She must notice that he doesn’t fight ALIE. She must come to the conclusion that the reason he doesn’t is because he thinks he deserves it.
And suddenly, his words, “I’ll let her beat me up for awhile”, have a new meaning. Because he wasn’t just “letting” her beat him up, he was punishing himself while also lifting a burden off of Clarke’s shoulders.
And I’m sure Clarke realizes all of this and thinks “where was I when this boy was struggling with all of this guilt”? Where was I?
And suddenly she gets it. Bellamy was not okay when she left - not by a long shot. This is what has been weighing on him for the past three months, and even longer when you take into account what happened with his mom.
This moment shows so much in Clarke’s eyes. She hates listening to the things that ALIE is saying. She hates that she can’t help her friend. She hates that she can’t run in there and stop it because it would probably only make things worse. She hates that even if ALIE did shut up, Clarke would never be able to silence the hateful voices in Bellamy’s head. She hates that this is the way Bellamy views himself.
I feel like everyone is so caught up in Bellamy’s “devotion” and Gina and Clarke and the whole knight and his queen dynamic (ew) so a lot of people miss this.
This tiny moment is so important.
This moment, I believe, is part of the driving force that causes Clarke to comfort Bellamy later. You can see it all in Clarke’s face. Because, at the end of the day, she just doesn’t want to see Bellamy hurting or in pain and she wants to do all that she can to make sure he’s okay.
BONUS: I bet that, since Clarke could hear everything ALIE said to Bellamy, he could also hear everything ALIE said to Clarke too. And so I imagine that Bellamy probably had a similar expression on his face listening to all the shit she was saying to Clarke.
ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT
BELLARKE REUION, Clarke’s hair makes a come back and The Main Crew together next week got me like;
The Blakes in love

Reblog if you agree
Did you see that face? That was the face of change… All it took was the death sentence of Daddy Kane, and Bellamy switches sides.
Anyways…being a Niall stan is a blessing
