i mean you’ll learn some more things abt them in future chaps but
- to pump up for model UN stuff (to remind her of her rage against the imperialistic patriarchy) etc lexa listens to CRIM3S like in the corner of the hallway just as loud as she can in her headphones like she gets really into it. clarke doesn’t rly have angry music? but she & octavia have choreographed routines to the entirety of fergie’s stuff for the most part.
- clarke loves waffles (& also mimosas) & also scrambled eggs especially when she’s hungover. lexa rly loves snobby breakfast stuff like eggs benedict & lobster omelets & stuff like that. but she also likes muesli & yogurt which is what she normally eats bc she has to be rly healthy
- lexa owns a lot of polka dotted socks (anya got them for her starting when she was little & it’s kind of stuck). clarke owns a lot of boys’ boxers that she’s just bought for herself bc she thinks they’re ridiculous but they’re also comfy & she has a pair with a bunch of hotdogs on it which make her laugh every single time. clarke wears mostly comfortable cotton boyshorts & like nice t-shirt bras but lexa wears like la perla lingerie a lot & clarke isn’t sure why bc lexa isn’t really that dressy? like lexa has a lot of blazers but she’s not fancy, especially in the summer (lexa would wear the same pair of cutoffs & one of like five t-shirts every day if she could w the occasional skirt mixed in there) but i mean. it’s not like clarke is going to complain abt la perla lingerie
- actually octavia is 100% the person who would sing that to lexa. it makes clarke start crying but it’s like that overwhelmed confused laugh/cry. lexa’s actually really sick by the time she has her transplant so she’s pretty out of it on pain meds but she knows octavia & clarke are laughing so yknow. she smiles
- lexa LOVES white chocolate which clarke thinks is disgusting & like lexa is sort of tiny & when she was like 11 or 12 her doctors really wanted her to put on a little weight & so she got in the habit of eating some chocolate every morning at breakfast & she still does it & clarke just is like lexa that is so gross
- clarke (& octavia & raven) go to watch lexa at model UN the next fall (lexa gets her transplant in the middle of july, just for context), & they have to sit in the back bc clarke knows that if lexa sees her she’ll get distracted & this isn’t even clarke being distracted, this is the fact that lexa fucks up her speeches whenever clarke tries to help her & basically does anything other than breathe. but yeah they go watch her & lexa is terrifying & graceful & clarke knows when lexa is flustered bc she rolls up her sleeves but that’s lexa’s only tell & like clarke is so incredibly turned on it’s honestly a situation. but then lexa’s team wins & so they go to a party afterward & they’ve not met clarke yet, & ofc lexa is captain bc she’s brilliant & a senior & scary but also patient & so hardworking & so everyone sort of worships the ground lexa walks on but then they meet clarke & they see lexa with clarke & it’s just so fun bc lexa is CUTE
- for halloween they go to a costume party & they both already had full harry potter costumes & they’re rly busy w college interviews & stuff so they decide to wear those (lexa is slytherin, clarke is hufflepuff), & lexa wears her glasses & owns draco’s actual wand, & clarke has a copy of the rules to quidditch, & they’re really cute (clarke bops lexa on the nose w her wand a number of times). they lose to octavia & lincoln in the couples’ costume contest though (clarke protests only for the fun of it, lexa doesn’t protest at all) bc octavia has a little pixie by this point so she dresses up as audrey hepburn & lincoln wears a tux so. obviously they won.
- lexa’s almost fluent in arabic, & she’s rly interested in international politics in the middle east. & she’s not religious at all, but she’s really really frustrated w policy internationally that causes violence domestically as well. so she does her senior project on a critique of the portrayal of islam in american media & its impact on real life domestic islamophobia. which means she watches a lot of homeland (she started bc anya was into it). but when she’s on pain meds it’s, like, all lexa wants to talk about (not her critique, just the plot) which is really confusing & she can explain season 1 sort of coherently but from that point it goes downhill. clarke tries to watch it but she doesn’t make it past season 2 but she listens to lexa’s rly drawn out explanations anyway bc they’re cute
- after clarke & lexa have been dating legitimately maybe two weeks octavia goes into octavia mode & is all over lexa, like kissing her cheek & slapping her ass whenever possible. lexa is slightly uncomfortable? but she feels rly accepted & even loved, so she mainly just feels happy. plus, octavia is cute & clarke & lincoln laugh, so it’s not a big deal
- lexa & raven become really, really good friends, bc they’re both rly pissed off at being marginalized in representation & in policy, & they make a pact to start a foundation when raven is a big time scientist & lexa is a big time politician (raven ends up going to MIT & lexa goes to harvard). when they’re in university they start a kind of informal thing between their schools w women in positions of power, & clarke & octavia help them out too (clarke goes to brown & octavia goes to boston college), & it becomes this super, super cool informal network & lexa ends up getting them an actual charter & it’s just p rad
- the sisterhood of the traveling pants makes lexa sob & hypothetically it could be emotional for clarke & octavia but like lexa is crying so hard she takes all of the emotion for all of them tbh
- clarke wears ridiculously expensive perfume that lexa teases her for but like jfc she loves the way it smells she doesn’t actually ever want clarke to stop wearing it
- anya is essentially lexa’s big sister (she’s lexa’s cousin but lexa’s parents raised her) & anya loves lexa more than anything in any world & she’s always been lexa as fuck & like lowkey tried to protect her at school & stuff, & anya’s kind of wary of clarke at first but within abt four hours she loves clarke a lot bc clarke is the v best kind of human being
- octavia & clarke are ahs coven af like passionately into it they’ve watched it a million times & lexa appreciates the aesthetics but gets way into the plot & won’t laugh at it despite the fact that it is, in fact, hilarious
- one of clarke’s very favorite things in the entire world is playing w lexa’s hair & once clarke has this v late at night thought their senior year after she’d been studying really hard for an AP calc exam that like hypothetically one day when lexa’s like idk thirty she’ll probably cut it & clarke gets really legitimately sad but then starts laughing at herself in a slightly concerned way bc she just so easily imagined her future w lexa at thirty & their biggest crisis was lexa getting a haircut
- clarke & lexa & raven are all valedictorians at their various high schools & clarke is clarke she’s party animal class president artistic brilliant overwhelmingly kind volunteers at the animal shelter on saturday mornings just bc she likes it like she’s just the best so her speech is personable & humble & funny & lovely. lexa is lexa (she does have the political pedigree of a god, tbf) & her speech is sharp & inspiring & wonderful. raven is raven & her speech is hilarious & tough & she only cracks one inappropriate joke. but for some reason, at clarke’s school, the faculty decides that octavia should also give a speech at graduation bc “she’s been through so much” & it is probably the most inappropriate speech in the history of commencement ceremonies but in the most charming octavia way (clarke cries really hard bc it’s rly funny but there’s octavia nothing takes away her special Fight Me magic)
- lexa’s full name is actually alexandria. when she was little she couldn’t really get it all out, so anya started calling her lexa bc anya thought alex was boring & not cool (& lexa has always been a cute dork but she’s kind of cool too) & so. lexa just stuck. sometimes anya calls lexa alexandria still, but it’s only to tease her. anya’s the only person who gets away with it though (lexa’s parents don’t even bother bc they’d only do it if lexa was in trouble but she’s kind of a wonderful kid so there’s rly no need)
- clarke’s room is messy & lexa sometimes has the urge to clean it up but she doesn’t
- lexa’s parents are actually really cool, they’re just (understandably) busy. but lexa’s basically been out to them forever & they’re p Fight Me abt lgbtqia rights & the safety of the GSM communities bc of lexa (they were before they had lexa, but especially now). lexa also actually loves going to baseball games w them & the first time clarke sees her in a baseball cap she almost wants to cry bc it’s so cute. lexa’s parents take clarke & lexa to a nationals game as like one of their first times getting to know clarke & they’re all really dorky & cute & clarke likes them a lot. also when lexa’s around her dad, who has an eastern european accent, lexa’s accent is way stronger & it’s just really REALLY cute
- lexa is an adamant little spoon
