***Character Interview***
Today we’re sitting down with Clarke and Bellamy from The 100 series. Hi, you two! Welcome to Swoony Boys Podcast! Having you guys here is a little intimidating for us, but we can’t wait for our readers to get to know you both a little better. Ready to get started? Here we go…
CLARKE: I guess I’ve always been afraid of letting people down. I hate the idea of—
BELLAMY: Frogs.
CLARKE: What?
BELLAMY: I hate the way they hop. I hate their slimy skin. And how do their eyes move like that? It’s creepy.
CLARKE: Are you serious?
BELLAMY: Always.
CLARKE: This is why I wanted to come without you.
BELLAMY: But then you realized you’d miss me too much, right?
CLARKE: This is embarrassing.
BELLAMY: And there you have it. Clarke’s real fear is showing her emotions. But don’t worry. I’m helping her get over it.
BELLAMY: I wouldn’t mind a few more showers.
CLARKE: Right. Because personal hygiene is clearly at the top of your list of priorities.
BELLAMY: Are you telling me I smell?
CLARKE: Smell? Try reek. The fumes coming from you might be enough to cause a second nuclear winter.
BELLAMY: Thank god you smell like roses. Thorny roses. With poisonous petals. But that’s what I love about you. [Smiles] I like my girls beautiful and deadly.
CLARKE: No comment
BELLAMY: No comment
CLARKE: Well, when he’s not being a total savage, I appreciate his unwavering loyalty–
BELLAMY: And my abs. Don’t forget to mention my abs. They’ve been pretty killer recently.
CLARKE: And his modesty, of course.
BELLAMY: [grins and tousles Clarke’s hair. She slaps his arm away playfully.] I love how she manages to look beautiful and intense all at once, the fierceness with which stands up for other people, the fact that she’s smarter than I am and . . . [takes Clarke’s hand] her left pinky. It’s so cute and crooked. I love it.
CLARKE: I’ve never met anyone like him. I’ve never met anyone who says what they actually think, who fights for what they believe in. And . . . I like the way he does this . . . [stands on her toes and kisses him. He smiles and pulls her in for a deeper kiss.]
CLARKE: My first sunset. I felt like my brain was short-circuiting, like I was smelling a symphony, or tasting a poem.
BELLAMY: The first time I kissed Clarke in the woods. It was the first moment that Earth really felt like home.
That wasn’t so bad, right? Before we let you go we are going to take the pressure off of Clarke and ask Bellamy the five questions that we ask every guy who stops by our site. Ready?
***The Swoony 5***
(These are the five questions we ask all our favorite swoony boys!)
Neither. The only pair I had wore out a long time ago.
I think if you asked the lady right next me, you’d have your answer.
I once found a few pages that’d been torn out of this book about a kid wizard. He lived in a closet and had an enchanted broom, so I figured he was a janitor like me.
The finest two-headed deer Earth has to offer.
What makes ME swoony?! I don’t know. I’m tall so maybe get dizzy looking up at me?
