;; Something in me really really really wants to write a professionally angry rant about why losing Carl in the show is the worst possible thing that has ever and could ever happen no matter how long this show goes on for.

The question is, do I do it here or do I do it on my personal?

#;; OOC ~#;; I mean because tbh I'm having doubt about whether I'll actually continue to watch this series after season eight #For sure I'll continue with Fear because they haven't pulled a totally obnoxiously idiotic stunt like that yet #I mean WHOO SPOILER FOR FEAR SPOILER FOR FEAR SERIOUS SPOILER FOR FEAR killing Travis was kinda stupid imo #because it happened just after a really super serious character development and honestly killing Chris was kinda shitty #I mean Chris went backward in development imo which was a huge blow to his character altogether #and Carl only went forward and had endless potential and then it's like crashing a speeding truck into a brick building honestly #WHOO SPOILER FOR FEAR OVER SPOILER FOR FEAR NOT AFTER THIS POINT #Actually there were two major spoilers in there so either way valid spoiler caps #But the issues in Fear weren't as dramatically harmful to the whole series #I can still find reasons to keep watching it #The fact that I'm actually literally sitting here day to day wondering if I want to continue TWD at ALL is a problem in and of itself #Even losing Glenn didn't make me doubt the show's future and I mean yeah it happened in the comics but #you also have to remember that Steven was a huge reason that Glenn's death was taken so hard too #He also wasn't as much of a central plot as Carl and I'm just really doubting I can... feel anything for this show anymore?#Carl was at the perfect age in season one for us to watch absolute character development happen and he was still in the middle of it #The sheer amount of wasted potential with Carl and the rest of the series is what's making me doubt things the most though?#Season seven also made it seem a lot more like Carl was becoming a much more central character and less of a support character #Suddenly here comes season eight where he's hardly even there and for some reason not taking part in the war #even though he took part in the mini war in season seven's finale #I mean part of why I took up writing Carl is that I see endless possibility for his character post season eight #Even if I read the comics my feelings for that Carl will NEVER match what I feel for Chandler's version of him #It's like this... feeling of some kind of post shock still hitting me where I'm like #feeling so empty and I mean Carl's not even my first or second favorite overall #In fact GLENN was my second favorite and he's been gone for a season and a half now #But at this point losing Carl just feels like... what am I even watching for anymore? It really feels like that #Part of me just wants to see the whole show through because I watched a whole fuckin' seven and a half seasons #but the other part of me is just like so destroyed because Carl's paths were laid out in so many directions #LOL This is hardly even the size of the actual rant I want to go into tbh like I want to go full force on it #I'm just actually this devastated by how abrupt and stupidly written it was that I can't get over it or comprehend it ;;
