WHY DO I LOVE ECLARE SO MUCH?

I can honestly say I never struggled so hard in starting to write a blog post but I definitely am because there's so much of eclare to talk about. So I guess, Im gonna start with some gifs.
I think this gif/picture in itself perfectly sums up their relationship. Alot of non eclare shippers say that their relationship is damaging, Eli is too unstable or whatever it may be, the reason Eli has done all those things is because he cares for so much. And after him losing Julia, it's near impossible for him not to be overprotective over his next girlfriend and I think that applies to anyone. But he truly does care about her and I think the trust and strength of their relationship I really love.
I think all of us eclare fans can say the best thing? THE WAY HE STARES AT HER. He stares at her like she changed and helped him so much which she did and like she's the most beautiful girl and I can stare at that picture forever and just die at the gaze. It's so perfect and I'm getting shivers just staring at it constantly. Only the look of love guys, Im telling you. And I think what's underrated is Clare's look towards Eli.
I think this gif captures it perfectly and her love for him. She is just very appreciative and glad he's there to protect her. Though in s11, she didnt want him to be her "protector", she realizes how glad she is to have a boyfriend that's willing to accept what happened then her rather than ending it because some grown man kissed her. 

Lets start with how they met. A classic remembrance in s10. Can I just stare at his eyes forever in this one? But I think the moment eclare met, we knew something was going to happen. The first you say to someone you dont even know is not "You have pretty eyes", but I guess Eli being the brave warrior ;) he is, he did and I just think Clare's blush and flushed look sealed the deal that something was going to blossom, unbeatable way to meet. I loved it, it was definitely original rather than meeting in class. The crushing of her glasses was kind of like that part of her life was over and here comes Eli stepping in. Perfect beginning.

Okay besides those reasons I love eclare, I want to highlight the fact that eclare has been through hell as you all know. Clare's parents divorce', Eli's hoarding, dealing with Julia, rejection of sex, Fitz, DTW breakup like the literally Eclare has been through absolute HELL. But I think Eli telling Clare about Julia and the hoarding, shows the trust they have with each other and him rejecting her takes a hell lot of courage cus I mean look at Clare. How can you not? They've made it so far and that is absolutely amazing and admiring. Even after all that drama, it didnt end because Asher came in the picture. It's a never ending battle of struggles but they manage to get through alll of them and it's just ugh they are perfect.

BUT LETS TAKE A MOMENT TO FOCUS
LMFAO THIS GIF JUST MAKES ME LAUGH, CRY, SMILE AND EVERY TIME I SEE IT ON MY DASH, FEELS. So much love and spontaneity in the kiss, I could die right now. And Clare's nerves and shock is shown so much an that kiss was just to die for. Stop being perfect guys, I hate you.
But back to the point, I love  them so much because their relationship is so unique and obviously not every typical teenage relationship will be like that, the strength and the struggles but I think the writers showed how drastic the relationship can be and I can relate because I have a friend who was like why cant Eli be real, we'd be so perfect for each other because she was going through reflectively the same as him. Im getting the ultimate feels writing this.

But if you dont ship Eclare, comment and tell me why and if you do, what did I miss?

I'll leave you with this to begin drowning in your tears in 3...2...1

You should comment, I would love to have a convo about eclare. Or on twitter: munrosblinks

"The Next Generation was better"

"TNG is better", Feels, Ships and Annie Clark




So I had the whole week off for midterm week and I loaded myself up in watching TNG episodes. The TNG  gives me the ultimate feels.I cant count how many episodes I rewatched and it just reminds me why I love the show so much.

But first off, obviously if you've been in DTC or a degrassian for some period of time, you cant help but hear people say, "Oh I miss the old Degrassi, the old Degrassi was better, why the same storylines."

First off, TNG seasons aren't going to be the same because there are different people. I undoubetly miss it too and the old cast but if you are a dedicated Degrassian, you won't abandon the show like that. Repetitive storylines? What do you expect when the show has been on for 33 years?

Though some storylines are repeated, it is different every time.
Craig being bipolar was completely different from Eli being bipolar and his hoarding. And in high school, one thing doesnt happen and never again, you're gonna have multiple people getting pregnant, having eating disorders, flunking out of school. IT'S REALISTIC. AND THAT'S WHAT DEGRASSI IS ABOUT.

The only reason TNG might seem better because it was fresh ideas but building off of those ideas again doesnt make the show any less amazing than it was. I dont know but I still love the show and could never stop watching. It's all I do.

my degrassi and munro bracelet. i have eclare and misfits on the other arm :)

Okay now to my feels. When rewatching the episodes, I couldnt bring myself to watch "We Built This City". Though I do love that show, I cant willingly put myself through that torture. If you dont know, We Built This City is the episode where TNG characters graduate, and actually typing this right now is giving me feels. It's like a stage of my life was over kind of like graduating in real life. And I just dont want to believe they are gone and moved on. Even though they are, it's easier to accept without watching that episode and just, sigh why cant they come back? I really do miss the cast, cant they just make it one big show?

Now my ships, my favorite part of Degrassi, somewhat. 

TNG ships:
Crellie
Darco
Spane
Jiberty

Newer:
Sanya
Eclare
Dolly J
Fimogen

I can't even begin to explain why I like these ships, it's just, how, like where do i start? They all have something about them, whether it's there past, their storylines, the way they got together, what they've been through, how they met. Something that keeps me going. But of course with Degrassi, nothing is ever endgame and they love to torture us. Let's see how many of them were actually endgame. NONE I think except Crellie, I remember Craig and Ellie hugging in the airport and I feel that was their last scene, cant remember exactly. 
BUT THE REST OF THESE, THEY TORE APART AND TORTURED US WITH ESPECIALLY JIBERTY.WAIT GUYS


basically me everytime my ship is broken up. Eclare and Fimogen are still together but after the promo, Im still hesitant about Eclare and Fimogen, I dont know where its going and im terrified of finding out. But that's it.

And also HUUUUGE THANKS to Degrassi on Google+ for allowing to to talk to Annie Clark. Came in the chat an hour late but so thankful, I was able to talk to her and cant wait for more. So glad we have people like that and cast members who want to talk to us and the production who help and keep us all connected. I love being a Degrassian fangirl.

Opinion on Eclare Promo

"Think you know Eclare, but you dont" 

That phrase alone is terrifying. The writers know that we love Eclare endlessly and will do anything to make them endgame so the fact that they put that in the promo is an evil teaser. They're testing us but then again I think, it could be a trick, Degrassi promos are always misleading so that's my little bit of hope.

First, with this new blond girl. Eli, if you actually cheat I'm so done with you. Im convinced the writers read fanfiction because there are too many things I've read that are coming true. Though, I do admit Eli cheating adds some drama and is such a good storyline because it's unexpected but if Eli graduates without Clare by his side, quitting life.

And that note that Eli found about Jake:

"He is romance. I could go all the way with Jake. I am ready to make love to him. I shudder with anticipation as my------"

And the diary entry is cut off. Focusing on the entry itself, Clare, where in the world do you see romance in Jake? He is the exact definition of non-romantic, he breaks up with you at prom, kisses your best friend. And you are abstinent and have held this close to you for years and you decide to give it up to your STEP BROTHER. JUST WHAT?

I understand you arent related but you might as well be, it's just like a cousin. And I thought she had more willpower than that, and though I am a complete eclare shipper and they should express their affection, Eli then again cant be mad.

What I'm assuming is he's mad because Clare wanted to have sex with him rather than Eli. But Eli was going to have sex with Imogen so it's a double standard. And though I completely understand it's weird and kind of hypocritcal for Clare to want to have sex with Jake than Eli, it's completely her choice. And though, it's an illogical thought for us, she could have felt more comfortable with Jake, whatever the reason is, Eli needs to be accepting of it because it is what it is.

"I'm not the problem, you are." I am so scared, because I dont know how this relates to the diary entry but this is terrifying to think about. If there is another breakup, I will shed billions of tears but I have no idea what Clare can possibly be doing wrong that she's the problem. PROBLEM IN WHAT? SO CONFUSED.

Degrassi Promos continue to confuse me to no end. *sigh* The season starts February 15th EST, MAKE SURE TO TUNE IN
