Clarke & Murphy | Circles

[@ItsAsparageese]

This is an amazing edit. Really does justice to the depth and dynamic of how this friendship is written, and especially how it's acted. This is like a highlights-showcase of some of their most incredible acting moments, the sort of thing which could be used to show a non-fan just how high-quality this show really is. Your exact timing for how you cut scenes is really amazing (my favorite is the moment where Murphy smirks after the "this is like your fifth chance" "yours too, Murphy" exchange, because it really is a smirk worth resting on for a moment and appreciating, before he goes defensive again and says his next line ... really great choice of cut there, lets us really appreciate that split second). I love the order you used for telling their story. Seriously, this is just so cool. I've never before been all that active in a fandom or watched video edits about anything, but videos like these really make me appreciate what a legitimate kind of fanart this is. Thanks for making it, and giving me 4 minutes to just marinate in some of my favorite emotions from this incredible series.

When I watched this episode, even before finishing it, I think I replayed this scene like five or six times in a row before I could move forward. Such an incredible scene, and such incredible acting. (I think Emori's face spoke for all of us, in terms of reacting to Clarke having to keep a MIRACULOUS POKER FACE SOMEHOW when she encountered Simone ...)

[@Rishabh180]

agreed season 1 murphy i kinda hate him too.

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@Rishabh180 The best part IMO is that Murphy's character evolved because of how the actor brought it to life, and the writers responded reactively to the way the actors transformed their characters over time. I believe he was originally supposed to die reasonably early but they just kept going and going with him and he grew into the amazing underdog-turned-favorite best-arc-having guy we all love today.

He was the only one there besides the Flamekeeper (whose name I can't remember, anyway screw that guy, I get his motives & the character makes sense & works well but I still personally hate him lol) and there really wasn't so much as half a second for Clarke or anyone else to pause and do any other grieving before things had to press forward. Barely anyone even learned about how Lexa died before bigger problems continued.

[@ItsAsparageese]

TITUS. It came to me the second I hit the button lol. My brain wouldn't let go of "Silas" but I know that's the guy from 3% (amazing show btw, 3rd season fell flat but would recommend S1/S2 highly)

[@xfirestarter_]

Murphy's reaction to Josephine calling him John. That is all you need to know how much clarke actually means to him. People give Murphy so much shit, but he cares for his friends so much. He deserves redemption. I love their relationship. He knows how much she cared for Lexa, and she knows how much he cares for Emori. One of the best friendships on the show in my opinion.

[@ItsAsparageese]

One of my all-time favorite moments. And one of the very few where he drops the mask for a split second. I'm so delighted that this video cuts juuuust after that second instead of skipping it. It's a great example of how insanely complex the acting is and how layered the characters and their histories are. This show communicates SO MUCH through quick facial expressions and tiny bits of information-buried-in-backstory that you really have to think through. It's incredible. The actors make it possible for the story to be so rich despite the limited screen time.

[@YouPear3]

Murphy and Clarke’s relationship is really amazing to me! They’ve both been through so much just to survive and that has made them both cockroaches, which is something I’m really happy that they can bond over. Even if Murphy does judge Clarke for the things she’s done, I think he only does that because he also judges himself for the things he’s done. I think they see a lot of themselves in each other, which creates a really deep connection that they don’t even have to voice to realize it. After all these years, it really warms my heart to see how Murphy reacted to Clarke’s death in season 6. The second he realized Clarke was gone, he gave up, because he knew if Clarke was gone then it was all over. He has relied on her to give him hope and the second he realized she was alive, he shed a tear because he knew he could return to that hope. Murphy fights to survive and betrays people to do so but, when Clarke is in charge, Murphy can actually just relax and let her fight for him and I think he takes comfort in that. Even if she has to make hard choices to keep him and everyone else alive, he’s relieved that he doesn’t have to fight and make those choices for himself and that makes him a appreciate her a lot. Their friendship is really something and I hope we see a little more of it before the show is over.

[@claaire9]

The 'I'm proud of you Murphy' is so much beautiful. Finally, they will train the family that I have always wanted. Thank you for video.

[@Saiyagurl]

I didn't realize I loved their friendship so much until the last season. It was then that I realized Murphy was always the one who told Clarke like it was without any BS. He never coddled her or tried to help her feel good about her decisions. He was always real with her and I think Clarke learned to appreciate that despite his attitude. Also Murphy learned to appreciate Clarke for being able to make the hard decisions even when the result wasn't all that clean. Because she did it for them.

[@Baikonyx]

I always liked Murphy a lot but this last season I feel he judged Clarke too much despite all the mistakes he made...I wish he had at least supported Clarke when everyone was upset with her, since he knows better than anyone about making bad decisions ....

[@mckennayost4892]

Totally agree with you but maybe it's the fact that he knows how it feels and when he was held a countable it did better.....and maybe he it trying to do that for Clarke? But so true he should lay off cuz he did bad things too

[@ItsAsparageese]

I think he really did understand her and support her more than he showed, it was just hard to see it because his resentment and frustration was also on the surface. I think the part where Clarke was willing to sacrifice/experiment on Emori (even though I completely agree with Clarke's reasoning, Emori was an idiot and brought that on herself) really hurt Murphy in a way that wasn't just about anger, but was about him being vulnerable, since it was the first time he'd really loved anyone besides himself, so that affected him uniquely and makes him have a certain fear of trusting Clarke again. So that's what shows on his surface. But inside, we got to see really early in Season 6 that he fundamentally cares about her and wants her to be okay. When he shot at her and Bellamy during the Red Sun, it was to keep Bellamy from turning on Clarke and attacking her -- and then at the moment when he comes in and sees Clarke with the radio ... man, I still get goosebumps every time I think of that scene. But yeah, I think Richard's acting speaks for itself in that scene. So yeah, point is, I too would have liked to see Murphy be more supportive of Clarke, in the sense that if I were their friend I would be telling him to lighten up -- but as a character, I think Murphy was doing exactly what Murphy needed to do, and that he really did care about Clarke on the inside, he just needed his hard shell on because he was still afraid she'd betray him again.

They are like each others honest friend that's a little mean but always ends up on your side when things go haywire. I am a little terrified that he will die in the final season and if that happens I will be devastated, he deserves a happy ending after all the crap he has been through.

I feel like Clarke and Murphy have a love/hate friendship. Its so special. For one or another reason they keep saving eachothers as-. They fight a lot but they care about eachother and would cry if one died.

[@JNB0723]

They argue but usually when they're together they are in agreement with each other (post season 1 they had like one scene where Murphy called her out).

[@jittercritter]

Murphy and Clarke. Their dynamic is just FASCINATING to me. Every interaction is just so full of feeling; layers and layers that just keep getting more and more complicated as the show progresses. Both of them have done a lot of bad and both of them know it. Despite how much bad blood they have, neither can justify demonizing the other because they’re well aware that they are also guilty. They clearly have some level of respect for each other as the show goes on, but they can’t really justify being *friends* either thanks to all of the bad blood from the past. They both have had mutual friends, and they’ve had mutual enemies. They have both hurt each other, and have both helped each other. They have shared trauma, but they’re also caused each other trauma. Their backstories are also mirrored: Clarke is from a privileged family, her dad tried to help her and the rest of their people and got floated for it. Murphy is presumably middle to lower class, his father tried to help him and got floated for it. They both fell out with their mom afterwards, but Clarke got reconciliation with hers while Murphy didn’t. Clarke took on a leadership role and as a result a lot of people grew to respect her and depend on her, and she does her best to help them. At the same time, this means when things go wrong or hard decisions have to be made, Clarke gets the brunt of the blame and anger. Murphy is the group delinquent which means a lot of people blame him for things that aren’t his fault, just like Clarke. But also like Clarke, people come to him for uglier jobs because he’s actually weirdly dependable in certain situations. Their priorities are also similar with just slight differences; Clarke is “my group must survive at all costs,” whereas Murphy is “I must survive at all costs.” Murphy is often portrayed as the bad guy for his version of ‘survival above all else’ mentality, but really why is it different? If you’re prioritizing your people over anyone else, that really isn’t THAT different from prioritizing yourself above all else, especially when you’re an outcast (like Murphy), making YOU your own people. Murphy and Clarke are actually SUPER similar with just a few key differences that make them SEEM super different without really digging into it. And honestly? I think they come to understand and respect this about one another. That’s the vibe I get from their relationship anyways. Just pay close attention to their interactions, and maybe if you have some free time/are bored some day once you’re caught up, rewatch some of their scenes from compilations or something. Every single one of their interactions is just brimming with complexity and it just keeps getting more and more complicated with every season. They hit like every major platonic relationship trope: enemies to friends, friends to enemies, rivals, foils/mirrors, they’re both often scapegoats, etc. Absolutely insane relationship, probably my favorite in the whole show, and WAY under appreciated by fans.

Edit: I know in season 6 episode 2 there was a scene of them where Murphy was calling her out, but in that same episode he also saved her life multiple times... and after we found out Clarke was still alive John informed Bellamy how to find Gabriel.
