TWD SPOILERS S8!!

Here is a playlist I made for Carl Grimes Death.

[enid-rhees]

i wanna talk about this story idea but- SPOILERS FOR S8 AND 9 OF TWD !!

i want to write a fic where early on the in apocalypse, Rick took reader in as his daughter. so now, she has her siblings Carl and Judith. after they arrive in Alexandria, her and Enid start to date. flash forward to s9, reader has barely recovered from Carl’s death, but she still pushes through to be there for her parents (Rick and Michonne) and Enid and Judith. but then she witnesses Rick blow up the bridge, and she starts to lose herself again. after finding out Michonne was pregnant, she yet again had to pull herself together to help her. and after Michonne leaves to find Rick, she’s now the one who has to take care of Judith and RJ. despite it being hard to take care of them when she’s struggling to take care of herself, she still does an amazing job, of course with the help of Enid. after years, she’s beginning to think she’ll never see her parents again, and she’ll never know how to break the news to her siblings.

one day after she and Enid took the kids to school, they’re resting at home. while they’re eating together, someone yells out “they’re back!” but reader assumes it’s the whisperers attempting to get a final kill. her and Enid run outside with their guns at the gate, and it opens, only to reveal Rick and Michonne.

reader drops her gun, and stares at Rick with a wide open mouth and tears pouring down her cheeks. she doesn’t even think he’s real at first. Rick is in disbelief, seeing his daughter for the first time in over a decade, seeing how she’s grown up so much, and she’s still with the girl she loves. Rick steps forward first, putting his hands on her shoulders to see if she was real, or only a figment of his imagination. with that single touch, reader breaks down and falls into his arms, sobbing almost maniacally. they both fall to the ground while holding each other as they both cry, meanwhile Enid and Michonne start reuniting.

after everything, Rick is now impatient to see Judith again, but Michonne tells him that there’s something he should also see. reader points over to the school building.

reader goes inside to pull out Judith and RJ, and Rick is almost confused to see the small boy. but his features are so… familiar. it then hits him, and he looks over at Michonne with teary eyes again. he breaks down when Michonne confirms that RJ is their son.

Rick picks up RJ, and hugs him as tight as he could. tighter than he’s ever hugged anyone.

[twdmusicboxmystery]

Do you really think Emily is in Paris? And if she was really there, did she film all her scenes and leave? If her scenes were actually filmed, why wasn't she shown behind the scenes with Norman? Why don't they officially announce Beth's return?I really want them to announce that Beth is back. I'm sick of waiting like this without any news of Beth's return!!

I'm not sure she's in Paris right NOW, but we know she's been in Paris in recent months. She might have done some filming then, so she wouldn't have to actually be present while Norman is filming his scenes.

They don't announce it because they want it to be a surprise. They're going to great pains to keep spoilers of her return from being announced. That's the whole point.

And they've done this plenty of times before. They've done it for new characters that people might recognize from the comics (no one knew Ezekiel would be on the show starting in S7 until he appeared in the trailer, and Khary Peyton talked about being shuttled to the set to film under piles of coats in the back of a van) and for returning characters (no one saw Morales in S8 or the Governor, Bob, Lizzie and Micah for 5x09 filming for their return episode).

So yeah, it's just par for the course for TWD. They'll reveal it when they're ready and not a moment before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope that helps! Xoxo! 💌❣️

twd s8 spoilers

[albiclalepsza]

Twd spoilers S8

The fact that Carl says 'You said this is my show' an episode before his death is insane. Especially if you know the background of his departure from the show it just seems so foul 😭

[wolfwhiteflowers]

twd thoughts and on 8x09. (carl fans, dont read this.)

“Make it real” /premise

-twd spoilers and twd comic spoilers.

me as a fan, im just like in the middle of being faithful of the show rn and being a passionate fan who quits. idk yet. but i will someday. that’s how being a fan of anything happens. 

i know it’s all unpopular opinion but the way the writers did it, Carl’s death does make sense storywise, and it’s like very moving in what writers were thinking.....with the future, Henry, and Carl. And Negan. 

ok, Carl’s ‘future’ dream I think is what comic-Rick had thought about during AOWar-rebuilding ASZ better than before, and why he didn’t kill Negan (because that’s uncivilized). I really liked that part and it’s interesting how the TV writers took that and made it really special like. Carl, wow a what young man and a hero.

And it was during AOW and making it some new premise for TWD/Rick to make Carl’s dream real and setting it up for “The New Beginning”. I think that’s a good premise or for me, imo.  I noticed Skybound ...were also thinking Carl took comic-Andrea’s death. I think so too and I also think TWD show did the’ comic-Andrea’s death’ better. Well because I feel there was meaning and something that forwards to the story. In the comics during whisperer war, comic-Andrea died but I felt like nothing special happened afterwards, storywise. But it’s probably too soon to say because it’s very recent in the comics and it’s not done. ( i just realized Carl died like tv Andrea and comic Andrea. He even mentioned prison time-s3 and how they went back to ‘living’ in s4)

So it’s like TWD show writers wanted that comic-Andrea death to happen, and Gimple thought it would fit with Carl and during AOW. Well Gimple said he wanted something to make (more?) sense to have Rick change his mind and not kill Negan and prisoned him (and then Negan’s redemption. I’m guessing because of Carl’s death). I liked that it’s during AOW because it’s after the war, it’s the “New Beginning” and we see a lot of changes, goodness, and success kind of thing.

I know that Carl is very important to the story and it was like he died for Negan to live (and Michonne?) kind of thing. Like that’s dumb writing, short term plan-writing...why do the writers want to do the comic-Andrea’s death anyway? Or why not have Father Gabe or any moral compass character to die in 8x09. But I think the show can still work, IMO and that it doesn’t seem to be like destroying the show completely or disrespecting the show and character. (like omg twd fandom is so lucky and stuff. I know I have unpopular opinion but fans that give up ..like u guys are lucky in a way that you’re not alone and the media agrees. k. As a Neal fan in OUAT ..it was so shitty on how they did it and the majority didnt care. I guess it depends on a fan and any situation. Like with Star Wars TLJ-that I feel mad on what they did. But I’m still faithful to TWD so far.) But, IMO, I also feel that TWD show still works for me because it had two premises but one premise-Rick’s show is that is more where we are at and he’s still the main character. In the comics, Carl isnt a leader yet. The show’s ending soon sorta so..it’s all Rick’s show. I think even if Carl still lives in the show, I think it’s still Rick’s show just because how long the show is and I think soon the show will end. (Cast leaving, BTS drama stuff).

However with the whole death is like why did happened? sigh. it’s also like why the tv writers care about comic-Andrea’s death ..to add it. Idk. But Gimple wanted a good reason to add in the story of Negan not dying but prisoned and perhaps anything that grieving sad comic-Rick will make sense and to adapt from comics be about tv-Carl for tv-Rick (instead of tv-Michonne?). Well I just like the TV version better it makes it the war and sadness, more deserved when we see the “The New Beginning.” Comic-Andrea’s death didn’t change ..much storywise. idk. 

Idk if it’s correct but Kirkman didn’t plan to do the time-jump at first. He wanted to show how ASZ and other communities rebuild and everyone being happy. But, Michonne is sad and that kind of story is like long and not dramatic ...so he just went for a timejump. (Michonne Telltale game). I guess I’m saying the tv show made the timejump mean something and more special like.

Another thing about how the show is like not ruined completely for me is because they respected Carl (hero of ASZ) and ..I think of the premise. I think it’s about Rick. It’s interesting so far imo that we see a plot of a father losing everything. (rare plot) I think the old premise works well with the new one. At first Rick wants to save his son, and now he’s making Carl’s dream real and be a better man for Carl. 

Yeah i know it’s still sucky. Like why does the show keep killing major characters? idk. So if the show keeps sucking and all, I would just think TWD ended in s7 finale. S9 is gonna crazy. Huge change again. Kang as showrunner & Gimple chief..maybe she changes things up for the better, same, or worse. Idk maybe we’ll have a small main cast and stick with them like most shows do. Better dialouge and more interactions from our faves/ladies. idk.

Anyways, I still think the writing is done well or s4-8- as usual. (They can always be improved.) I really like how Carl’s death was like uplifting..hopeful like. But, yeah I’m still like why Carl? He’s the future the heart of the show..but ok..it’s Rick’s show.

 sigh. I was confused why have the Kingdom group plot but OMG the ending. Wow idk what you call it. Parallels/contrasts between what Carl said about living and doing what’s right, with clips of Morgan going crazy to protect a/for a kid, to Henry doing what Carl was like in s3 in, killing Gavin. I’m wondering what will happen to Henry. Will he be featured more and have the ‘psycho killer’ comic-Carl parts or is he a character that pushes Morgan to be in FTWD(comic Michonne pirate arc, I think). Idk Henry got potential for future plots. If Henry becomes one of the recurring characters, he could be like “Carl 2.0″ but I mean he got that comic-Carl pyscho parts that I think tv-Carl doesn’t really have..he’s more like a better man ..more compassionate. idk. Ofc, we don’t care as much for Henry but, I think Carol and Henry might have some future plot later on.(like Michonne and Elodie?) idk. I miss Carick... Carol with Team family. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/thewalkingdead/comments/81i3em/who_believes_the_show_will_actually_get_better_in/

interesting post and comments.  TNB arc may make the show interesting again for some fans. I am interested in after the timejump but who knows if different medium works well or not and how the writers do it. Plus other BTS changes too. so idk. I just wanna see everyone what they are like and they look like after the timejump.  Also, this reminds me how ..well some annoying parts of the show may still continue..because of what Kirkman wrote and stuff. Like I think there’s more main characters separated far apart. etc.

uh basically, I think we just want to know what’s the endgame and feel sure when the show ends. Right now I feel like it’s hard to be faithful and excited about the show when the show is old, cast going away, BTS drama, and we don’t know the ending .. or what kind of ending. Story ending naturally or when AMC ends it with Negan and Daryl show. sigh.

@featheredcritter I HEARD YOU MISSED MY TWD MEMES SO HERE *hands u these* ON THE HOUSE FAM

[feztheshep]

okay at this point in the apocalypse getting bitten by one (1) single zombie is one of the lamest ways to die. dying by sickness would be more understandable than this. carl pointed a gun at negan like multiple times and he gets bit by one (1) damn walker!? there are bullets all over the place like a damn hailstorm and he dies from a dang zombo bite?! I already knew this was coming and I'm still like annoyed.

questions

masterlist

ao3

"Can you tell me about Carl?"

Michonne nearly drops the plate she's washing, glancing over to where RJ plays in the other room. Judith cocks her head a bit as she gauges her mom's reaction.

"Sure," Michonne says, albiet reluctantly. "What do you want to know?"

"What was he like when I was still a baby?"

She thinks back to the prison. It was so, so long ago, but Michonne can still remember how cold it would get at night and the way the air smelled very... prison-y as if they were there just yesterday.

"I can tell you he didn't trust me when we first met. I felt like if I looked at you he'd attack," Michonne chuckles to herself.

"He was always very excited to take care of you despite not knowing the first thing about it. He, Aunt Maggie's sister, Beth, and Carol would play with you and he even sang to you once or twice."

"Is it true he always wore this hat?" In every memory Judith has of her brother, he always wore that hat.

Judith has always wondered if he ever took it off, but never knew who or how or when to ask.

"He had a farming hat," Michonne cracks a smile. "And he looked ridiculous."

Michonne's smile drops as she thinks about how much time she missed with Carl in her attempts to find the Governor. With Rick. With everyone they'd lost. She thinks maybe if she'd tried harder to find the Governor before he found his way back-

No. She can't let herself think like that. She can't fix the past. All she can do is pave a better path for the future.

Of course, Judith notices her mom's change of demeanor.

"What's wrong, mommy?"

Michonne puts on a tight smile, finally passing Judith the plate to dry. "I'm okay. I just got stuck in the past."

Judith nods, glancing back at RJ, "Do you think Carl would be happy to have a little brother?"

Michonne looks at her son as he topples down a block tower before stacking it back up. Her eyes fill with tears that she has to blink away before they fall, "I think," she takes a deep breath, steadying her voice, "I think he would have loved him more than anything. As much as he loved you and your dad."

"And you," Judith says, almost shyly.

Michonne struggles to reply, a few tears running down her face.

"He chose you for a reason, mom," Judith tells her.

"Yeah?"

She takes a deep breath as she looks at her daughter, "He'd be so proud to see you today."

Judith blinks back tears before stepping down from her step stool and wrapping her arms tightly around Michonne's waist, sniffling.

She jumps when Michonne starts to hold her, a small grin breaking out on her face as she pulls away, "Mommy, your hands are wet!"

Both break into laughter that fills the house, RJ waddling in to see what was so funny. The kids end up being chased around by Michonne and her wet hands, thoroughly tiring all three parties out.

Things are good.

[darkness-dreams-love-life]

I can’t ... I just don’t have it I me .....

When the season is over if it’s all stay good then I’ll get excited but after so long and 2 shows just this years screwing over my otp (and yes I supported Carol and Ez*kiel for a while doesn’t mean I gave up on Caryl I was all about MM on my screen - and the way the played that is best ignored) I cant trust in TPTB these especially these ones!!

I wanna I so wanna but I my little battered shipper heart can not take it!!

[thaliasandy]

And can you imagine how defensive keke would get?! He'd be like "stay away from Connie, you already stole my other girlfriend!"

And Daryl would just shrug because that's none of his business and tell him "I'm not interested man, I got my Carol at home."
