![]() ![]() ![]() It’s hard not to blame Monty for the death of Maya along with Clarke and Bellamy, especially someone that was so close to him like a brother. What are we going to see in terms of his relationship with Monty going forward?ĭevon Bostick: “It’s interesting. Also, I love playing Jasper the exact opposite of how he’s been since the pilot which is just so consumed in darkness.” There’s so many things that happen on the show that our characters just push through it, and it’s nice to see someone really processing all the things that have happened. I think it’s so true to see a character actually going through the PTSD that’s he’s actually going through. ![]() Devon Bostick Interview:Ĭan you talk about the changes in Jasper from season one to season three?ĭevon Bostick: “I love where Jasper’s going. At the 2016 WonderCon in downtown Los Angeles, Bostick talked about what it’s been like to play a darker, depressed Jasper in season three of the series and what it might take for his character to be able to work through the loss of Maya. It’s also found Devon Bostick’s character, Jasper, suffering from PTSD following the devastating death of Maya (Eve Harlow). Season three of The CW’s The 100 has found fan favorite characters meeting their makers. Sometimes people crumble over the weight of a situation they weren’t prepared for, and without proper assistance to help them through it, they’ll never bounce back.Devon Bostick as Jasper and Lindsey Morgan as Raven in ‘The 100’ (Photo by Bettina Strauss © 2016 The CW Network, LLC) Not everyone can turn over a new leaf for the better like Murphy. Not everyone can channel their grief and fear to become a warrior like Octavia (although that’s turning into another story). Not everyone can rise to the occasion like Clarke or Monty. Jasper may be physically surrounded by his people, but he’s emotionally alone. In turn, he can’t grasp how they’re not crippled by their own grief and trauma. His friends are far more capable of coping with everything that has happened to them and what they’ve done, so it’s difficult for them to understand his breakdown. Jasper is suffering from PTSD, and the cure is most certainly not telling him to “snap out of it.” He needs proper therapy, which, unfortunately for him, nobody has the time for, and even worse, few seem to care. His actions aren’t justifiable, but we feel bad for him because he’s been through a lot and just can’t handle it. Despite causing harm to other people, we give Finn sympathy. While Jasper’s downward spiral indirectly impacts those around him, he is far more self-destructive than someone like Finn, who impulsively massacred Grounders. In that case, maybe people should give Jasper more responsibilities, instead of not trusting him with anything. Perhaps Clarke is able to function because she has so many responsibilities and people who rely on her. He’s too sensitive to suppress his feelings in a way that someone like Clarke can. As it happens, Jasper doesn’t bottle his emotions. It’s true everyone in The 100 has suffered, and they’ve not turned out like Jasper, but it’s also true that everyone deals with grief and trauma differently. He’s quick to point out how worrisome it is that Clarke respects Jaha of all people, and perhaps she’s leading people the way she previously deemed wrong. In fact, this is the clearest and most sensible Jasper has been in ages. It’s tragic to see that the happiest someone has been in months is because they’ve found out they’re going to die soon. Now, at the prospect of dying in a couple of months’ time, Jasper is seemingly back to his jokey self, except this time his humor is darker. ![]()
