carl grimes x fem!reader

warnings - cussing, blood, gore, murder, fire, guns, knives, enemies to lovers, broken bones, kissing, yelling & screaming, crying, needles, vivid descriptions, SPOILERS !!

summary - the tower fell at alexandria, and almost losing carl made y/n realize how much he really meant to her, even though they “hated” each other.

“you both need to cut your shit out, we could fucking die. put your beef behind you and focus on living, okay?” y/n lectured the two boys who had just previously gotten them into so much more trouble than needed. they just rolled their eyes at her, carl scoffing and turning around to go back into the bedroom.

y/n followed him unintentionally, grabbing another sheet to put on over her shirt. the smell of the walker guts was revolting, but she had to deal. soon, she was doused in the red insides. ron was gagging to the left of her, and carl was craning his neck away from his father’s hands. judith was placed under carl’s gut-sheet, kept safe by the smell and by her big brother. y/n smiled internally at how he protected her without hesitation, she hated the way it made her happy.

the group of them (y/n, carl with judith, rick, ron, jessie, sam, michonne, & gabriel) headed back down the steps and helping to move the couch that was keeping the walkers off of the steps. once it was out of the way, the walkers started climbing up the stairs, towards exactly where deanna was. if y/n said she wasn’t scared, she’d be lying through her teeth.

y/n was right behind carl. one wrong move and she could step on his shoe and send him flying. in a different circumstance, it would’ve been funny. as of now, that’d get him killed, and that wouldn’t be too great. she could hear judith fussing quietly through carl’s gut-sheet, and hoped she stayed quiet enough.

the first stop they made was on the porch. they had a general plan, and that was to get out, but they had to do it together. the group joined hands and, just their luck, y/n and carl had to hold the rest of the people together. they were both hesitant, but decided it was to keep everyone alive, and put their shit aside to live.

the second stop they made was to gather more thoughts from the group. gabriel thought it was best to bring judith to his church, and rick agreed. carl let go of y/n’s hand and, as discreetly as possible, handed judith to gabriel. she hated the way her hand felt empty and cold after carl let go. the feeling went away as soon as carl grabbed her hand again, almost eagerly. it was odd.

the third stop they made wasn’t planned, and it was most definitely not a peaceful one. sam had anchored the human chain to their spot, calling for his mother repeatedly. jessie tugged on his arm so desperately, but it was no use. the boy was making too much of a scene, and met his fate. walkers closed in on him from behind, tearing apart his flesh.

y/n watched in horror as jessie screamed for her youngest son. before any of them knew what was going on, jessie was being ripped limb from limb by the walkers. y/n stood there in shock until she realized that carl was right behind jessie. their hands were still connected.

rick seemed to notice too, grabbing his axe with tears in his eyes as he hacked away at jessie’s wrist - one of the only parts of her body that wasn’t being devoured. when carl’s arm was free, he fell to the ground, almost bringing y/n down with him. she helped him up and he thanked her quickly and quietly. she hated the way her stomach went fuzzy when she heard his voice. she didn’t let go of his hand, god knew how much it would’ve pained her to do so. when they turned back around, they saw one thing.

ron had a gun pointed at rick.

“you killed her,” he said, eyes watering and hands bloody.

“put the gun down,” rick tried to reason with him. y/n and carl had let go of each other in pure fear.

“my family’s dead, and it’s all your fault,” ron’s voice started to break as his finger squeezed the trigger softly. before anything else could be done, a large blade drove through ron’s chest. a gunshot sounded. when his body dropped to the pavement, michonne stood there, her sword blade covered in blood. y/n gasped, staring at the ground.

“dad?”

they all turned. carl stood about a foot away from y/n, what was left of his right eye gushing blood.

y/n’s eyes widened as she watched him fall to the ground. rick acted in a flash, picking carl up and running towards the infirmary. y/n didn’t waste any time either, picking up speed and sprinting right after him. michonne ran around the two, helping y/n kill the walkers in rick’s path.

y/n didn’t care if she didn’t make it, she only cared that carl was safe, and alive. rick had already lost too much - the group had already lost too much. they didn’t need to lose carl too. her mind was running with incomprehensible thoughts as she only strived to protect carl & rick.

all of a sudden, y/n tripped over a dead one and screamed. her ankle felt like it was on fire. michonne saw and ran to grab her, helping her up.

“i got it, i’m fine, we have to get carl safe, michonne. he can’t die,” she yelled, hauling her way to the door as fast as she could on her good ankle. she made it, adrenaline pumping too fast for her to really even care about her ankle.

“save him,” y/n could hear rick saying as michonne pulled the gut-sheet off of him. everything was moving too fast, but that was good. the only thing pulling her out of her trance-like mindset was rick’s voice repeating “i have to go out there.”

“rick, carl will be fine, go,” denise said, standing over carl.

after rick ran out the door, michonne sighed “i gotta go help him.”

“go, michonne, go. carl needs rick, and rick needs you. i’ve got carl, i’ve got him,” y/n said, grabbing michonne’s shoulders. michonne nodded, kissing carl’s forehead before ripping off her gut-sheet and grabbing her sword.

“y/n, do you know how to stick an IV?”

———————————————————————

y/n stayed with carl, day & night, for about 6 days until he woke up. she was with him the entire time, changing the bandages and giving him more IVs, or just sitting there. she wouldn’t sleep, she’d just sit at his bedside, desperately awaiting his wake.

carl’s remaining eye opened quickly. he could immediately tell something was off. barely a second later, y/n walked in with extra bandages for another change.

when she saw carl, sitting up lazily on the bed, she couldn’t help but start crying. she smiled and ran to him as fast as she could and embraced him tightly.

“wait, what’s going on-“ he started, but eventually gave in and wrapped his arms around her middle back. denise soon entered the room with another IV, laughing to herself when she saw the two teens in front of her. y/n immediately pulled off and mumbled a grumpy “shut up,” but sat directly in the chair next to carl’s bed.

“what happened?” carl asked.

“do you not remember?” y/n asked, leaning a bit closer to him.

“not really.”

y/n went on to explain what happened, choking up a little during some parts.

“. . .and your dad got you to the infirmary, and denise saved you,” y/n ended the story.

“as much as i’d like to take credit for the whole thing, it most definitely wasn’t just me. y/n helped a lot,” denise said, completely ignoring y/n’s glares. “she stayed with you right after it happened, when your dad and michonne went to go clear out the streets. she helped me with taking the bullet out, and with patching you up. if it wasn’t for her, you’d most likely be dead by now. all while withstanding a trimalleolar fracture.”

“a what?” carl asked.

“i broke my ankle in three places. tripped over a walker.”

“whilst trying to get you to the infirmary safely. you know, she stayed with you the entire time you were here-“

“denise!” y/n whisper shouted at her, making her mockingly raise her arms in surrender. when she left, carl looked up at y/n (who was extremely red in the cheeks).

“why?” carl asked bluntly.

“what?”

“why’d you save me? why’d you stay with me? i thought you hated me,” carl asked, not taking his eye off of y/n.

“i did it because i owe you. i owe you for a lot of shit. for saving my life on multiple occasions, for always being there for me in some kind of way, and for showing me that some people aren’t as bad as they seem. you know something? i thought i hated you. hell, i wanted you to. all because i didn’t think i deserved to be respected, to be loved, or to be protected. and when i realized that i did deserve it, it was too late. you hated me, and we had already built a relationship on such shitty terms, i didn’t think there was any going back from it. so i played along. i never wanted to hate you, carl, i was just pushing everyone away, and i’m sorry you had to be a part of that.”

carl just stared in shock. y/n had said everything he wanted her to say for so damn long. it just came true, right in front of him. he grabbed her hand and pulled her down to be eye-level with him. he looked into her eyes for a bit, then decided it was his turn to say how he felt. or at least show it.

he let go of her hand and cupped her face gently, placing his lips on hers. it didn’t feel forced, or surprising, or like fireworks. it felt like home, and that was a lot to come by these days. it said everything that wasn’t said out loud, it said whatever they were thinking. that they wouldn’t have to do it alone anymore.

when they pulled away, the door bursted open, and rick and michonne rushed in, tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces. they rushed to squeeze carl into the biggest group hug y/n had seen in a while.

“thank you,” rick said to denise, smiling wider than y/n had ever seen him smile.

“you’re welcome, although it wasn’t only me,” denise nodded her head over to y/n, who was laughing at the sight of carl getting his face pelted with pecks from michonne.

rick stepped next to her and put a hand on her shoulder, “thank you. i know you two hadn’t always seen eye-to-eye, but you still saved him. we’re very grateful.”

before y/n could respond, he engulfed her in a hug.

“yeah, no problem.”

———————————————————————

“carl!”

“what? denise says it’s for PT!”

“can you come here? we can’t hear you.”

y/n sat with judith on the floor, playing with red solo cups. carl came into view, a tennis ball in his hands.

“denise says it’s for PT,” carl and rick said at the same time.

“you heard me,” carl rolled his eyes jokingly.

“do you have toothpaste?” michonne asked him.

“yeah, i have toothpaste.”

“that’s cus you keep stealing mine, you little fucker!” y/n giggled, attacking his shins from her seat on the floor. carl tossed the tennis ball at his father and jumped back to get away from y/n’s fists.

“whoa, let’s not start more of the drama you guys had a few months ago,” michonne said, mocking them.

“that was half a year ago, michonne,” y/n stood up and kissed carl’s cheek. “i’m gonna go get ready for my shift, if you need me i’ll be at wall c.”

carl nodded, noticing the looks he got from his dad and michonne.

“oh shut up,” he chuckled.

“we didn’t say anything!”

———————————————————————

a/n: when i tell you this took HOURS. anyways, requests are open, i just felt like writing some good old enemies to lovers, sorry it’s long but i love a good vivid description of everything 🫶🏻

This is the best exchange in the whole of tsats and these are the best characters ever

[holyplasmaball]

With this influx of new angbang shippers I feel like someone needs to educate our new comrades on some key parts of the source material. Namely, on the words “Bereft”, “Adored” and “Seduced”. The hull, mast and sail of this ship

The hull of the ship is found in the Silmarillion where the unfortunate innocent reader comes across the following paragraph:

“Of old there was Sauron the Maia, whom the Sindar in Beleriand named Gorthaur. In the beginning of Arda Melkor seduced him to his allegiance, and he became the greatest and most trusted of the servants of the Enemy” - Silmarillion, Of The Rings of Power And The Third Age

As the brainrot begins to take root, the would-be-shipper then makes their way through the lesser known collection of Tolkien’s headcanons, Morgoth’s Ring, and discovers this passage:

“At least in the Elder Days, and before he (Sauron) was bereft of his lord and fell into the folly of imitating him, and endeavouring to become himself supreme Lord of Middle-earth. While Morgoth still stood, Sauron did not seek his own supremacy, but worked and schemed for another, desiring the triumph of Melkor, whom in the beginning he had adored.” - Morgoth’s Ring, Myths Transformed

Now fitted with a stalwart mast and a wide sail, our ship begins to gain momentum. As to which cursed port (Soft Angbang, or Abusive Angbang) the vessel glides to depends entirely on the shipper at the helm, because the evidence is inconclusive. At least until Carl Hostetter goes through more of Tolkien’s trash.

Hugo smiles slightly as he carefully takes off Carl's glasses and put it on the night stand. He kisses on Carl's head before closing his eyes and slowly falls asleep as well while Carl is in his embrace.

100th Bomber Boys: Major Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal: Pt. 2

If you missed part 1, you can find it here!!

Following the Munster mission in October of 1943 that decimated the 100th bomb group, Rosenthal took on a leadership role among the men. With Egan and Cleven gone, the men needed someone they could look up to for strength and guidance. Even though the Münster mission was only his third, he and his crew were sent on a week's leave. Following their leave, the 100th was one of the first to bomb the capital city of Berlin.

The next objective for the 8th Air Force was to achieve total European air supremacy in order to prepare for the D-Day landings. Their job was to take out the Luftwaffe, starting with the factories and plants that manufactured various parts for various MEs and other German fighter planes. The introduction of the P-51 Mustang, a long-range fighter plane that could accompany the B-17s to their targets. These planes ended up changing the tide of the air war.

The Mustangs were taking out Luftwaffe planes at an astounding rate with small loss rates. This development led to the B-17s essentially being used as bait for the Luftwaffe planes to attack so that the Mustangs could swoop in and destroy the withering German air force. The Luftwaffe was losing its veteran pilots, making the force less lethal than it was at the beginning of the war.

(pg. 281: Don Miller's Masters of the Air)

In May 1944, two months after completing twenty-five missions with the crew of Rosie's Riveters, he took over the 350th Bomb Squadron of the Hundredth, whose morale and efficiency had slipped badly, and began to restore the unit to peak performance. "After the first Berlin raids, we had men who were banged up mentally, and a few of them didn't want to fly anymore. I told them they had a moral obligation to fly, and that I would fly with them. We were here to beat Hitler. I also told them that if they didn't fly they would be letting down friends who had helped to keep them alive up to now. The appeal to their pride and respect worked better than the one to their patriotism." Rosenthal knew that without group loyalty-the responsibility that fighting men feel to the men next to them - wars would be impossible. Gale Cleven and John Egan "gave the 100th its personality," wrote Harry Crosby. "Bob Rosenthal helped us want to win the war." In the end, however, Eighth Air Force morale improved markedly only when casualty rates declined. That began to happen in May 1944, after American fighter pilots had reduced the Luftwaffe's effectiveness. "We did the bombing-the dirty work," said Rosenthal, "We were the decoys, and they took care of the bad boys that had been beating us up. They were guys who made D-Day possible?""

In early May, the 8th took the war to synthetic oil refineries in Germany, knocking a major blow to the Nazi war machine. The Germans did not have much natural oil in their territory, and even when they invaded Poland in '39, they only had enough oil reserves to last the army, air force, and navy for a few weeks. With their addition of conquered territories, the shortage became less of a problem, but in a military that mainly used oil (instead of coal like the rest of Germany) any shortage was a problem. In response, they began manufacturing synthetic oil in hydrogenation plants using the Bergius process, named after its inventor, Nobel-Prize-Winning Friedrich Bergius (that I am not smart enough to explain). This oil was keeping the Nazi military going, and striking it made a huge dent in their war-making capabilities. Unfortunately, Gen. Carl 'Tooey' Spaatz's bombing offensive was put on hold to prepare for the Normandy invasion. This time, the 8th and 15th Air Forces would be bombing Germany's important industries in France.

It was the last week of May, and the time had arrived to soften the Germans up for D-Day. The plan was to hit the main points of German transportation in occupied France, including railroad marshaling yards in Northern France and Belgium. This was supposed to delay the enemy's ability to bring reinforcements, tanks, and other supplies that would be needed to fight the Allied invasion on June 6th. The offensive turned out to be a major success. "Allied heavy and medium bombers almost completely dismembered the rail network of northern Belgium and France, choking off the main supply channel that fed the German army (Miller, 2007, pg. 291)." Bridges over the Loire and the Seine were also smashed, "cutting off most of Normandy and Brittany from the rest of France (Miller, 2007, pg. 291)."

Then on June 6th, 1944, the 100th was tasked with bombing the German strongholds along the beachheads. They were not very successful, but their earlier missions were the things that made the invasion possible.

(pg. 294: Don Miller's Masters of the Air)

For nearly every Allied airman who flew that day, it was the greatest experience of the war. "I briefed the crews of the 100th," recalls Rosie Rosenthal, "and I had never seen such a reaction from them. They stood and cheered and roared. This is the day they had been looking toward. I led the group on the third bombing mission of D-Day, toward dusk. We had a rule. No one could talk on the intercom unless it was absolutely necessary-radio discipline. But as we passed over that vast armada and headed over the beaches, a member of our crew started to say a prayer for the people down below and we all joined in. It was one of the most emotional moments of my life."

My TMNT 2007 hc in general before I go insane

Watching TMNT 2007 got me thinking that it could be more of a canon divergence AU of TMNT 2003.

Like if shredder is really killed by the turtles rathan then being imprison to a icy wasteland then, the event of TMNT 2007 is really what happened. Not to mention that, the prequel comics show that triceraton is somehow secretly invaded earth.

About our beloved turtle boys behaviour on the other hand, while we know things worked out among them(leo mainly) in the 03!verse, I hc the 07! boys having a bit of a jaded personality(forgive my wording in english it's not my mothertounge) in their normal routine of catching criminals at night, it's a norm for them by now, at the very least catching thieves is more of an excersise for them.

While Mikey and Don have adapted well and fast with their mundane routine, Raph and Leo are the restless ones as in their both in a way battle maniac, they both love the thrill of battles.

I mean the whole leo vs raph scene sort of said it all but once the helmet's off it's more of them venting.

After the canon event in the movie, I like to think that solo or duo patrol is part of their routine.

Leo can tolerate with the life of having a day job just maybe his body temperature needing to adapt(I don't know turtles anatomy).

At the same time he also may need to revise what he has learned during his trip.

Raph on the other hand, is need a lot more sleep than Mikey and Don due to his routine as nightwatcher. Man needs to fix his sleep routine period

Leo and Raph would switch or accompany Mikey on his cowabunga carl job in the daylight. Normally Leo at first for a couple of weeks then the switch begins.

When Leo or Raph switch with Mikey's role, it's the amusing part.

Leo, probably had kids afraid of hitting him, probably scolds the kids when the parents aren't looking

Raph, he can play along but sometimes he accidently hits a kid too hard or gives tip on how to actually hit something

Donnie in the distance *facepalm*

Mikey: How come their allowed to do that?

Donnie: I don't even know, Micheal. Raph and Leo are their own in their own shells and brains.

Leo would drive and remind Mikey about the grocery and putting their ads

Donnie has asian mom vibes and his proud of it. MAMATELLO SUPREMACY-Raph&Leo sarcastically frustrated

Anyway that's all the hc I got for now, I'll add more later when the brainrot kicks in but feel free to reblog and add your own. This TMNT needs more love

Tech Support John’s Autistic Traits

( kinda just an excuse to infodumo about him )

In his first episode (Part 340 ), he is shown with an extreme tone deficient voice. The main way we see his emotions is through his eyes and body language.

He also explains his reason for coming to the help desk despite having his paradise is everything was too comfortable, this says hes used to an amount of chaos and uncomfortableness. Changes with autistic people tend to make them feel uncomfortable and stresses them out, so being put in a new situation like that would definitely make him uncomfortable as he no longer has that chaos to keep him sane and or occupied.

He very literal, and extremely direct. In part 425, he directly says he’s leaving and makes no effort to hide his agitation at Carl ( The Catholic ) and Stan ( The Protestant ). He says “Oh my god. I’m going home.” In part 436, he openly says no to a soul and continues his phone call without worry of what the soul thinks of him. He is direct about his needs and often doesn’t care how his words make others feel, it became such as problem that it wounded him up in therapy down in hell. In part 410 he is very open and obvious when it comes to talking about his job with the romance authors, he says there are no sexy aspects of his job and he sticks by that statement.

He is confirmed Demi-sexual ( part 396 ), According to the Harley Therapy Mental Health Blog, it found that Autistic teens and adults were more likely to identify as asexual or “other” sexuality wise. Asexuality and the entire Asexual spectrum is not new to the autistic community and those who are not asexual but are autistic still have a high chance of identifying somewhere on the lgbtq+ spectrum. In part 423, he has no reaction to extremely sexual music and keeps his face deadpan despite the reactions of the others at the desk.

In part 391 he gets a gift from the deities, it’s a duck in a shark nose. In 392 he expresses his concern that he is being gifted something for the hopes of the other party getting something from him. Angel shuts down those beliefs and he is seen holding it in almost every episode he stars in. In part 410 a romance author gifted him another duck which we see later has gained a hat.

He is extremely attached to these ducks as in episode 425 he tells Stan and Carl to not look at his touch nor touch the things on his desk. Him not wanting them to touch anything on his desk points to him having everything in a spot that he wants / his desk being his comfort area and the thoughts of others disturbing that peace makes him uncomfortable.

He vocal stims with “Have you turned it off and back on again” often saying it in moments where it’s not necessarily needed. He physically stims by hitting his head with his duck as seen in part 397.

He defines himself by his job and disregards things such as religion ( part 425 ) for tech support. Technology and Tech in general seems to be his special interest as he not only genuinely defines himself by it, he talks to other people in Tech Support about it specifically in groups ( information given by Sharkie in part 397 ).

TL;DR : Tech support John shows a lot of Autistic Traits so Autistic Tech Support John Supremacy.

Rants under the read more

Spence/abby: NCIS and Criminal Minds crossover leftover from when I was a baby bisexual whose parents watched copaganda murder mysteries. Autistic nerd x autistic goth supremacy.

In both shows they kind of live in their own bubble as the superspecialist. Imagine finally finding someone who can keep up with you. Somebody who matches your weirdness instead of joking about it like you're not there.

Abby's actress and Gibb's actor had some sort of (fight? Idk the exact tea but i think he harassed her and the network let him get away with it. fucked up man), but that contraint adds a whole new element to the writing. How do the kids of the teams act without their surrogate father figures? What would cause the young idealists to break from their dream careers and go rogue? How to they work together to lead a cobbled together new team when neither usually takes point?

*And how about directly acknowledging queerness and neurodivergency that the original writers wouldn't touch with a hazmat suit*

Additionally, Abby's actress and Penelope Garcia's actress are friends irl. It'd mame a viable miniseries or movie, it will never be done, but by god it COULD!!

Duckylove: a hyperspecific polycule between most of the teenagers in the dwampyverse cast. technically the basis is in the phineas and ferb cast, with candace dating jeremy, stacy, and vanessa, but it complicates from there. I usually have stacy and vanessa dating each other, along with stacy dating coltrane and vanessa dating monty. monty can also be dating carl it depends. from there theres the milo murphy's law cast, with sara dating candace and vanessa, along with neal. the hamster and gretel cast inclusion is kevin dating hiromi, whos dating stacy and sara as well. fred and jenny (and a buncha the other teens but less fully as these two) are also there but fred and jenny are aroace so they just kinda exist there.

(this was in all caps but I took some liberties bc it uh. Hurt my brain tbh 👑)

carl grimes x fem!reader

angst && slight fluff at the end <33 !!

|| summary - carl runs to hilltop alone and hops on one of negan’s supply trucks. when he comes back with negan himself, you can’t help but be angry, worried, and concerned for what he did.

warnings - mentions of murder, death, blood, gore, weapons, language, violence, angry carl & reader, yelling, enid doesn’t exist (solely for plot reasons, i’m an enid stan fs), carl & reader are dating

“your kid gunned down two of my men! and you know what i did? i brought him home, safe and sound, and i made him spaghetti.”

negan looked over at where y/n and carl were standing. olivia’s dead body sat at their feet. y/n glared straight into his eyes, quite frankly unafraid of the pathetic man in front of her.

“all while that girl stared me down! the least she could do was say a little thank you. my, my, she is creepy!”

her eyes were cold. carl had been trying to get her to look at him since he got back, but his attempts failed. she always looked in the other direction or continue to glower at negan.

the audacity that the man had to barge into their homes, kill two of their people (although spencer definitely deserved it), and ask for gratitude was insane. y/n wanted to put a bullet through his head.

———————————————————————

it had been almost an hour since negan and his people left, and y/n still wouldn’t speak to carl. he was starting to worry - it was the first time she had ever seen his eye and she was avoiding him.

he couldn’t take it anymore, so when y/n walked into the house, looking for michonne, he confronted her.

“are you avoiding me?” he asked.

“where’s michonne?” she asked monotonously.

“out. don’t avoid the damn question, y/n, are you avoiding me?”

y/n didn’t answer. instead, she headed upstairs to search for michonne in case carl was lying.

“where-“ carl started, but decided it was useless to ask and just started following her. she looked in every room in the house, eventually reaching carl’s and finding nothing. before she could leave, carl stood in front of the door.

“move,” she mumbled, still not looking at him.

“why? why have you been ignoring me all day?” carl asked.

“just fucking move.”

his voice started to break, “is it because of my eye?”

her fists were clenched and her eyes were narrowed at the ground until she heard him sniffle.

“are you crying?”

“stop ignoring all of my questions, y/n. please. just answer it,” his chin quivered as he spoke, making y/n feel absolutely terrible.

“carl, no-“

“so what is it then? i have been waiting hours for you to say anything to me, and you’re angry at me. why? what did i do?”

“you left,” y/n looked down at the ground again.

“what?”

“you left. without telling me, without saying goodbye, without offering to let me go with you. you could’ve died, carl. then i wouldn’t have been able to say goodbye. i was worried about you, and when the saviors pulled up to the gates with you in the truck, and your bandage off, i knew something was wrong. then when negan said what happened, i knew you were just being stupid. you could have gotten yourself killed this morning, and what would that leave me? carl, i know you want him dead, so do i, but i cannot lose you. we’ve lost too much- i’ve lost too much,” she said, starting to cry too. carl just stared blankly at her, taking in everything she just said.

once he processed it all, he felt like puking. he didn’t realize how much it affected the ones he loved, the one he loved. the only aspect of death that he had imagined upon arrival was negan’s body in front of him and the blood on his hands. he had almost forgotten that he wasn’t immortal himself.

and once he gathered his thoughts, they were too much. he broke down, grabbing a hold of y/n and hugging her tightly like if he let go, she’d disappear.

“i’m sorry,” he sobbed into her hair, “i’m so sorry.”

——————————————————————

“hey carl,” y/n whispered, her voice muffled by his chest. he hummed in response, his arms still almost painfully enclosing her.

“why did you think i was mad at you for your eye?”

carl paused for a good minute, “that’s not important.”

“yeah, it is.”

he paused again, this time for a little longer.

“i’m scared.”

“of what?” y/n asked, pulling away from the hug and holding carl’s face in her hands.

“my eye, it’s gross. i felt like once you saw it, you’d realize i was disgusting-looking. i don’t want you to leave me,” he avoided her eyes, slightly ashamed.

“carl, i’d never leave you. i wouldn’t care if you had three eyes. you’re not disgusting, you just look different. and that is perfectly fine, okay? i’d never be enough of a dick to leave you because of something you can’t control. i love you,” she kissed him softly.

“i love you too,” carl said, letting out a shaky breath.

“you needed your bandage changed this morning right?” y/n asked. carl nodded. “well, since olivia . . . can’t help you anymore, do you want me to do it?”

“yeah,” carl said, a little bit of panic in his voice.

“hey, don’t worry, i’ll make it quick. i know the shit stings.”

y/n moved the hair out of carl’s eye. she inspected it, making sure there were no infections or pieces of hair stuck to it. she cautiously picked out stray strands, careful not to hurt carl. she then cleaned it and held the base gauze to his socket while carl wrapped it comfortably.

“it’s good, no infections or other unknown damage. it’s nice you let it air out for a bit, helps with the healing. it looks fine, you’ve been doing good with the regular changes,” she smiled and kissed his forehead.

“thank you,” he said quietly.

“no big deal, carl. just promise me you won’t leave again? at least without saying goodbye.”

“promise.”

Veiled Woman (Faith)

Title: Veiled Woman (Faith?)

Artist: Antonio Corradini

Date: early 18th Century

Movement: Italian Rococo

Medium: Marble

Genre: Statue

The Baroque movement started in Rome, and Italy became known as the birthplace of the Baroque. Despite this, the majority of the Italian Rococo were Italian artists who trained outside of Italy.

During the 18th century, Italy felt that England and France had left them behind and the country was in a state of decline. This lead to much of the art being heavily religious and had nothing o say about the upper class. We will see that in places like England and France didn’t always stay quite on their opinions on the aristocracy in their art. (William Hogarth and Jean-Honore Fragard)

As stated in the text book “Rococo” by Victoria Charles and Klaus H. Carl, “In Italy, the supports of the Baroque were the might of the aristocracy and the supremacy of the clergy. Those in power needed the supporting external pomp in manners, dress and architecture to underline their despotic position.

the statue above is (possibly) an example of such religious art.

On Tuesday, incumbent Sen. Raphael G. Warnock faces off against Republican challenger Herschel Walker in a Georgia runoff election. While Warnock received more total votes than Walker on Election Day, he didn’t reach the 50 percent threshold mandated by state law, forcing a final runoff between the top two candidates.

The runoff provision marked the culmination of nearly a decade of efforts to revise Georgia’s election procedures in response to federal government mandates to end Jim Crow racial segregation and Black voter disfranchisement. Beginning in 1954 with Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned racial segregation in public schools, while Congress passed two federal civil rights acts, in 1957 and 1960, seeking to protect the right to vote. Civil rights activists took advantage of these changes and held voter registration drives and registered voting-age Black citizens. It worked. The proportion of Black voters enrolled to vote in Georgia had soared to 44 percent in 1964, up from 29 percent in 1960.

In 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered another blow to maintaining white supremacy by overthrowing Georgia’s unique county unit system of representation that had laid the foundation for rural domination of the state legislature and restricted Black political influence. Codified in 1917, the county unit system gave each of Georgia’s 159 counties twice as many unit votes as it had representatives in the lower State House. This allowed 121 rural counties to control nearly 60 percent of the unit votes even though they represented only 32 percent of the state’s population. This ultimately disadvantaged cities such as Atlanta that contained the bulk of registered Black voters. Both the arch-segregationist governor Eugene Talmadge and one of his moderate-segregationist successors Carl Sanders agreed that the county unit system kept Georgia government “conservative … and [kept] liberals and radicals from taking over.”

In response to all of these changes in the mid-20th century, Georgia political officials devised ways to evade or minimize such challenges to white racial domination. That included Denmark Groover of Macon, a prominent lawmaker and staunch white supremacist, who mounted a campaign for a majority-vote proposal in local and statewide elections.

Here was the idea. Most elections in Georgia featured multiple White candidates running in a winner-take-all, plurality election. That meant that even though only 40 percent of Black Georgians were registered to vote, their support increasingly could prove decisive for one White candidate or another. Groover wanted to avoid that. So his proposal required that if no contender received a majority of the vote, then there would be a runoff election between the two top vote-getters. Groover envisioned that if a Black-endorsed candidate made it to the runoff, then the majority-White electorate would rally around the other candidate. Thus, with the county unit system struck down and given the perceived danger posed by the plurality system, Groover favored a majority-vote provision that “would again provide protection” from rising African American political influence.

In 1964, Groover’s runoff bill passed the state legislature handily, and Sanders signed it into law. His willingness to support it exposed how widespread the desire to maintain White control over Georgia’s government was. Unlike Groover, Sanders was a moderate segregationist. As a state senator, he supported measures to evade the Supreme Court’s Brown decision and affirmed his loyalty to the “Southern way of life” and Georgia’s “sovereign states’ rights,” slogans wielded in the campaign to maintain racial segregation. He parted company, however, with politicians such as Groover by refraining from stirring up racial antagonism in his speeches and promising to preserve segregation through lawful means.

The election law signed by Sanders also contained a literacy test, which had long been a feature of state politics designed to thwart Black Georgians from registering to vote. The substance of the exam had been revised throughout the years. The new law established a 20-question standardized literacy exam for voter registration and required a passing grade of 15 correct answers. One of the act’s strongest legislative supporters summed up the reasoning behind its adoption, insisting it would continue to ensure that “illiterate [B]lack voters don’t get on the registration lists.” Actually, literacy for African Americans made little difference in passing the test, as biased White registrars determined who successfully met the requirements.

The adoption of the majority-vote, runoff requirement along with the literacy test clearly reflected Georgia’s pervasive racism and White leaders’ intention to keep themselves in power. Despite the passage of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act and the abolition of literacy tests, Georgia has maintained the majority-vote system to dilute Black voting power along with other voter suppression measures that target Black voters. Although civil rights groups have launched legal challenges to these discriminatory laws, they currently remain in effect.

Still, the Voting Rights Act has reshaped Georgia politics. Progress has come despite the 2013 Supreme Court decision in Shelby v. Holder, which eviscerated key sections of the statute. Even so, while the decision provided states like Georgia new opportunities for reducing Black voter participation, Black voters still now constitute approximately one-third of the statewide electorate. Black candidates have also chalked up significant victories for the U.S. Senate, Congress, state legislature and mayor of major cities such as Atlanta. This spectacular transformation brings us to the current moment in the runoff race between Warnock and Walker.

Even Denmark Groover could not have anticipated such sweeping political changes. He could not have foreseen that today, two Black candidates are competing against each other in a runoff election for U.S. Senate — a mechanism that he hoped would keep even White candidates who appealed to Black voters from power. He would have been no less surprised that one of those candidates, Warnock, had narrowly defeated his White opponent, Kelly Loeffler, in a runoff election in 2021.

However, the racial effect of the majority-vote, runoff election requirement persist in 2022. White voters will be the deciding factor in the outcome of the runoff election between two Black contenders, just as Georgia’s political leaders intended in 1964. If Walker — who is expected to receive greater White support — defeats Warnock, he can thank Denmark Groover and Carl Sanders, who designed Georgia’s electoral system to allow White voters the final say on who governs the state.
