Genuinely with my whole heart I think 99% of lori’s beef with rick is that he was way too bisexual for her cis wasp ass to even begin to comprehend
#you know and I think shane also fell into this trap#like having watched the beginning seasons again and seeing the trajectory that he went on as an apocalypse character I do deeply feel that#his specific narrative of adaptive survival is rooted in the rejection of the heteronormativity of the old world and ushering in the new on#where instead of the usual ‘survival of the fittest’ narratives the ones who do survive are the ones who never fit or were ultimately#adaptable. like. he isn’t even a good cop because he ultimately rejects cop morality at the end of the day and very early on#and if we ever got backstory on that it wouldn’t surprise me if rick got into being a cop simply because that’s what shane did#and really I think that’s the ultimate magic of the walking dead#none of these characters truly fit into the world before and what they do in the world after matters deeply#also this show is extremely socialist on a lot of levels which I really like#the way everyone helps raise judith and then also the way rick leads is also very socialist at times#(with all of the pitfalls also)#idk man tho with lori specifically he does NOT fit in with her idea of the average heteronormative patriarchal relationship and that is#still so special to me after all these years#anyways#rick grimes#the walking dead
