CHALLENGE: write your own recap of Clem's story before TFS.

Huh, interesting. Okay, I can write up a recap of Clem’s story before she and AJ enter Ericson’s gates. Though, be warned-- it’s gonna be long. 

When Clementine was eight-years-old, her parents took a trip to Savannah and left her with a babysitter, Sandra. Before leaving, her father, Ed, gave Clementine the signature hat that she wears throughout the series. He told her she could borrow it until they came back home.

Clementine's final conversation with her parents was over the phone a few days before they were scheduled to come back.

“See you soon.”

Unfortunately, while they were gone, the walkers showed up and the world changed. They destroyed the neighborhood, Sandra was killed, and Clementine was forced to hide out in her treehouse until one evening when she heard a car accident off in the distance. Leaving the safety of her yard, Clementine saw an injured man calling for help.

Lee Everett stumbled into her yard, looking for help in her home before Clementine tried reaching out to him through her walkie-talkie. When he was attacked by her now zombified babysitter, she saved his life with a hammer.

Lee swore to protect her, taking her with him in search of a better place all while thoughts and worries of her parents weighed down on her. They eventually found a group and settled down in a motor-inn where things took a turn for the worst. Their food supply grew low, fights broke out between Kenny and Lilly often, and the realization that things wouldn’t go back to “normal” for a long time dawned on them. Clementine remained hopeful that her parents would find her. She had her walkie-talkie, after all.

Walkers, bandits, cannibals, destruction, violence, blood, betrayal, murder- all of that followed Clementine and Lee during their time together. Eventually, they were forced to leave the motor-in after bandits attacked them. Lilly, still suffering with the grief and trauma that came with her father’s murder, ended up murdering a member of the group herself. After deciding Lilly’s fate, they came across a fully functional train and the homeless man, Chuck, living inside.

It’s at this point, the only other kid her age, Duck, is on the verge of death after being bitten by a walker during the escape from the motor-in. In her grief, Katjaa takes her own life, leaving Kenny alone and broken.

While this happens, Chuck tells Clementine that what happened to Duck is going to happen to her, which rightfully scares her and angers Lee. After a chat with the old man, Lee comes back and decides that he and Clementine need to work better as a team, meaning she needs to learn how to shoot a gun, cut her hair, and work out a plan with him for when they hit Savannah.

On the way, they meet up with Christa and Omid, and it’s discovered that Clementine has been talking with a strange man who claims to know her parents over the walkie-talkie. Eager to see her parents again, Clementine tells him everything and trusts him to the point where he’s able to get her alone and kidnap her while the group hides out in a house within Savannah.

This man is later revealed to be the owner of an abandoned vehicle Clementine’s group scavenged, and his plan was to get revenge on Lee and the others while claiming he and Clementine can be a family.

He takes her to the Marsh House and locks her in a room after she’s able to get a hold of Lee. Clementine’s terrified of this man, realizing that he’s not as nice as he pretended to be and now she’s stuck with him, hoping that Lee would find her before this man hurt her.

Lee shows up and, with Clementine’s help, takes care of the stranger. With Clementine safe, but hundreds of walkers outside, Lee covers her in walker guts to disguise her scent so they can walk through the streets undetected.

As they’re walking, Clementine finally finds what she’s been looking for since the walkers showed up: her parents.

Lee falls down beside her, unconscious. Clementine, while horrified to see her parents as walkers, manages to drag Lee to safety in an abandoned, tightly secured jewelry store.

It’s here that Lee reveals that he was bit by a walker and doesn’t have much time left before he turns. Clementine urges him to try and get up, to leave with her, but instead, he asks her to handcuff him to a heater. They take care of a walker, and Clementine’s left with a gun and keys to the door.

After Lee dies, Clementine wanders by herself until she spots two familiar figures off in the distance- Christa and Omid. The three of them travel together all while Christa goes through her pregnancy.

Months pass. They come across some bathrooms and take the time to clean up. Clementine enters one by herself, eager to wash her dirty face when she accidentally knocks over her water bottle. Going into one of the stalls to retrieve it, the bathroom door opens, and a stranger enters. Clementine left her gun on the sink, and it finds its way into the stranger’s hands.

The stranger threatens Clementine, which catches the attention of Omid, who does his best to sneak in and help.

Omid startles the stranger, resulting in her fatally shooting him. Christa runs in, shoots the frantic stranger, and cradles Omid’s dead body while Clementine watches in horror and overwhelming guilt.

Clementine travels with Christa for a sixteen months, and during that time, Christa lost her baby and holds bitterness towards Clementine after what happened to Omid. They end up separated after a group attack, and Clementine falls into a rough river.

Alone, freezing, and hungry, Clementine comes across a camp with a lone dog named Sam. Sam attacks Clementine after she finds a can of food, and she has no choice but to fight him off, killing him in the process.

Exhausted, traumatized, and with a torn apart arm, Clementine wanders into the walker-infested woods. Luckily, she’s saved by a couple of survivors, Luke and Pete. They discover her dog bite, mistaking it for a walker bite. Before they can decide what to do, Clementine passes out and wakes up with the cabin group.

Carlos, the group’s doctor, suggests they lock her up in the shed and wait to see if she’s telling the truth about her bite rather than being a decent human being and helping her. Clementine is forced to sneak out and steal supplies to stitch up her own arm. During this time, she meets Sarah, another kid who wants to be her friend.

The group finally brings her in after she kills a walker that broke into the shed and berates them for not believing her. Apologetic, Luke sits at the table with her as she eats a hot meal and shares bits of her past with him. Once she’s left alone to finish her meal, Rebecca comes in. Rebecca is pregnant and far along in the pregnancy, and with a child that may not belong to her husband, Alvin.

After a visit from yet another stranger, Clementine learns that this group is running from a man named William Carver, the same man who could possibly be the father of Rebecca’s baby. He’s hunting them down in order to get Rebecca and the baby back, and the group needs to leave the cabin.

After several days of travel, they come across a lodge with another group living inside, as well as a familiar face- Kenny. The nice reunion sours quickly as Kenny immediately becomes possessive over Clementine while reminders him of what happened to his wife and child come back up, making him hostile.

Carver’s group tracks them down. After a handful of deaths, they’re forced to cooperate and be apart of Carver’s community. While there, murder and violence are reoccurring events. With the help of a loner woman named Jane, they develop a plan of escape after Carver murders a man in cold blood because Clementine and Sarah weren’t working in the greenhouse properly.

The plan goes awry after Luke’s caught, leaving Carver bloodthirsty to know where a missing walkie-talkie is- the one Clementine stole. Kenny protects Clementine by taking the blame for this and Carver almost beats him to death.

That night, they put their new plan into motion. Clementine sets off a sound system in Carver’s office to attract a horde of walkers to Howe’s, Kenny murders Carver, and the group covers themselves in walker guts to escape. Carlos is killed, sending Sarah into a full-blown breakdown. Sarita is also bitten at this point, something Kenny places full blame on Clementine for. The rest of the group manages to escape.

Rebecca’s baby is close now that her water broke, so Clementine and Jane find a safe place for her to have the baby. While there, they meet a kid named Arvo who’s hiding meds he claims are for his sick sister. Jane threatens him before kicking him out.

Rebecca eventually has the baby- Alvin Jr. Though she becomes too weak after the birth and eventually dies when the group is attacked by Arvo’s group, causing a shoot-out.

AJ manages to be okay once the dust settles, and Jane makes her return. Taking Arvo hostage, he leads them to a half-built house with food and a fireplace. However, Kenny’s rage gets the better of him and he beats Arvo, only stopped when the others intervene.

The group grows more and more afraid of Kenny and what he’s capable of. Jane warns Clementine against him while Kenny pleads for her to trust him. When Mike, Arvo, and Bonnie plan to steal all their supplies and drive off, Clementine is shot in the shoulder, falling unconscious and dreaming of Lee.

With everyone besides Kenny and Jane either dead or missing, Clementine has no choice but to stick with them as they drive through the snow. An argument breaks out between Kenny and Jane, escalating until they come to a roadblock.

They all get separated. Clementine’s forced to trudge through the snow until she finds a safe building with a frantic Kenny inside. Jane finds them, too, but she’s no longer carrying AJ.

The breaking point is breached, and Kenny and Jane fight to the death while Clementine pleads for them to stop.

The only way to stop the fighting is for one of them to die, and Clementine knows this. She makes a difficult choice.

AJ’s cries can be heard in the distance. Clementine finds him in a car, alive. Jane hid him away to make a point about Kenny. With AJ safe and in her arms, Clementine either goes with her new caretaker or goes off on her own.

About a year later, Clementine and AJ are surviving on their own, running from walkers before taking shelter in a small, abandoned building. Here they meet another survivor named Ava. They hide out together until the walkers leave, and Ava invites her to meet her people, a group called the New Frontier.

Clementine and AJ end up joining with them for a while before AJ got sick. Dr. Lingard does what he can to help him, but eventually, everyone gives up hope that AJ will beat the sickness... all except Clementine. Desperate to save him, she refuses to listen to Dr. Lingard or anyone else, taking it upon herself to get the medicine AJ needs to make him better.

Unfortunately, she’s caught and kicked out. David takes AJ away from her, telling her he’ll die if he goes out there. She’s devastated and heartbroken at this, calling them all monsters for taking her only family away from her.

She has no choice but to leave where she survives alone for a bit, traveling between communities. One evening, she spots a working vehicle and decides to cut a tree down to stop it, intending on taking it for herself.

Here she meets a bound man named Javier Garcia who claims he was kidnapped by the group and his family was left at a junkyard. Clementine offers to help him if he gives her his van.

The two make it to a community called Prescott where Clementine interrogates a man who traded her bad bullets. In the fight, she accidentally kills him, which causes an uproar within the tavern. People around Prescott talk about how she murdered a man in cold blood.  

Eventually, Clementine and Javi are able to make it back to his family only for the happy reunion to be cut short after Javi’s niece, Mariana, is murdered. This confrontation leads this group of assholes to attack Prescott, destroying everything and killing its people. Clementine and the crew manage to get away, but with Kate shot and in need of more help than they can offer, they have no choice but to head over to another community called Richmond.

It’s revealed that Richmond was taken over by the New Frontier, which causes Clementine to panic. She confides in Javi about her secret connection to the New Frontier, revealing the brand on her arm. Conrad overhears this conversation, threatening to shoot Gabe if she doesn’t cooperate and come with them as their hostage.

They make it to Richmond where it’s discovered that David is Javi’s brother, Kate’s husband, and Gabe’s father. Despite this, the group ends up kicked out. Clementine once again confides in Javi about AJ’s fate.

They meet up with David again, who Clementine is furious with, demanding to know if AJ suffered before he died. David reveals that AJ’s still alive, that he got over his sickness and was left in Dr. Lingard’s care. Full of a new determination, Clementine decides to head back to Richmond with the group. She separates to find Dr. Lingard, who is unconscious due to drugs.

Javi comes in, wounded, and Clementine stitches him up. When Lingard comes to, he makes a deal that he’ll tell Clementine where AJ is if they give him a lethal dose to kill him.

With Javi stitched up, Clementine reunites with Ava and Gabe, who exchange friendly words. They put the plan to save David in motion, finding that Joan is going to have him executed in front of the whole community. They manage to stop this, but when Kate drives in and breaks a wall, it lets in a horde of walkers that begin attacking everyone.

Once they regroup, they form a plan to get out of Richmond and find a vehicle that’ll help save its people. During this time, Clementine inquires more info about AJ from David.

Once they find a working vehicle, a fight breaks out between David and Javi. Clementine steps in to break it up, only to have David grab Gabe and leave. Kate insists that she has to go back to help the people of Richmond, and Javi and Clementine are left with a choice of what to do.

In the end, Richmond is saved but with lots of casualties and work left to be done. Now that Clementine knows where AJ is, she makes it her goal to find him no matter what. But first, she asks if Javi will give her a haircut before she leaves.

Clementine says her goodbyes to Javi and the Garcia’s, set on finding AJ at McCarroll Ranch.

“I’m coming, AJ.”

And she found him.

VAV // How They’d Propose

A/N: Sorry if some of these don’t fit the members as well as you think, I’m still getting into VAV so I only have a basic knowledge of their personalities.  I also don’t know that much about Korean or Chinese tradition so if anything doesn’t fit please let me know in anon or message!

Photos and gifs are not mine: credit where credit is due!

St. Van/Geumhyuk:

Tries to cook a grand romantic meal

He even lit candles on the table and turned the lights down low to set the mood

Unfortunately because of nerves the cooking goes all awry and is unfit for the proposal so he orders takeout instead

You walk into the house after work all confused as to why there’s candles with takeout

He just brushes it off and you guys enjoy candle-lit takeout

A week later he’s just casually making you guys dinner

After he finishes making it he decides tonight is the night (because he successfully made a nice dinner tonight and all)

So he quickly lights candles and freshens up and dresses nicely

You kinda suspect something but also don’t? after the candle lit takeout

He fumbles his words all during the meal when you make conversation which makes you suspicious of his plans

After the entree he takes your hands in his and just stares in your eyes before he finally reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little black box with shaky hands

“So I’ve been wanting to do this for a while…”

“...you mean everything to me and I’ve known since day one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, so will you do me the honour of marrying me?”

You just smile ear to ear and nod, mustering out a “yes” after a few seconds of tears streaming down your cheeks

He stands up with you next to him and slides the ring on your finger, giving you a loving, passionate kiss

He also left rose petals on the bed in the shape of a heart for you to discover later ;)

Baron/Chunghyeop:

Wants to take you to a place as beautiful as you are

He found a lovely spot along the Han River that doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic and thinks that’ll be a perfect spot

Decides to do it at sunset to make sure it’s a memorable moment for you

You guys head out to walk around the city and get dinner when he suggests you guys walk along the river because it’ll be pretty

You agree of course, he did always know the best spots in the city

You guys reach the spot he found and there’s other people there also watching the sunset

You hear him mumble something under his breath about it but don’t think too much about it

You guys watch the sunset and enjoy each other’s presence

He looks at you and stares into your eyes, remarking about how beautiful they are, making you blush

As the sun finishes setting, the other people leave and he sighs biting his lips, almost as if he’s anxious

You cock your head at him and he just smiles at you

Eventually he turns to you and just looks into your eyes more, a calm smile on his face

A sudden wave of reassurance and calm washes over him looking at you

He pulls out the ring and gets on one knee, smiling at the look on your face

“You’re my world and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you.  Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”

“Of course!  I want nothing more than to spend my life with you too!” you say as you nod

As tears start streaming from both of you he stands up and puts the ring on your finger before pulling you in for a passionate kiss

He just holds you and twirls the ring on your finger as you both look out at the river and the rest of the city, city lights twinkling in the reflection in the water

Ace/Wooyoung:

To him he had it all planned out

Since you guys worked out together sometimes, he would use that to his advantage to surprise you

He didn’t think you’d ever suspect him to do it at the gym

So he decided that he’d do it one of the days you guys train together

In your usual routine you guys hold each other’s feet down when you do sit ups

So one day you guys are doing your usual routine when you get to the sit ups

He makes you go first (as in you do sit ups first) while he holds your feet down

You normally switch it up each time so you think nothing of it

You do a few sit ups until around sit up 10 you sit up

And there he is in front of you holding a ring

You just alternate your stare between him and the ring in shock

“I wanted to surprise you as best I could, but you make me the happiest person on earth.  Will you marry me?”

The few other people in the gym are aww-ing and you nod and say yes of course you’d marry him!

He slips the ring on your finger and you tell him “you definitely succeeded in surprising me” to which he smirked, proud of himself

But of course your workout isn’t done and he still has to do sit ups and you have to finish your routine

Every time he does a sit up he gives you a kiss, a proud smile on his face all day

Ayno/Yoonho:

This lil bean

He decided to choreograph a little dance you and combine his love of dance with his love for you

Precious baby practiced so hard to make it perfect and at the end he’d pull you up to dance with him and would end the choreo with the proposal

He stayed late at the studio so many nights perfecting it

He even got Baron to help him, after all he wants it to be flawless

As your anniversary is coming up he decides he’ll do it then

“I have an anniversary gift for you~”

He takes you to the studio where he puts on the song he created to the choreography to (you can pick whatever song you want it to be, just imagine something slow and romantic)

He dances flawlessly, occasionally looking at you to make sure you like it

You’re having the time of your life and feel spoiled that he’d spend all his time coming up with something like this for you

The ending comes up and he pulls you up to join him

You tell him you don’t know what to do to join and he just says to follow along

As he goes to get the ring out he accidentally drops it (silently cursing himself for not keeping it in the box) but picks it up before you can see, but you still hear it

“What was that?”

He twirls you one last time and as you return to face him there he is with the ring in between his fingers and you just look at the ring in shock

“Is that...is that what I think it is?”

“I know it’s our anniversary but this choreography is more than just a gift.  I wanted to show you how much I love you in the best way I know how.  Y/N, will you marry me?”

Obviously you say yes, you can’t deny lovestruck Ayno

You hug him and give him a sweet kiss, “Yes of course I’ll marry you”

Ayno is beaming with happiness as all the members barge in to congratulate you guys (so much for privacy for two seconds lmao)

Jacob/Peng:

Would do it on a trip to China to meet his family

Wants you to meet his family and have you guys connect first

After he sees you guys getting along so well he knows he wants to seal the deal and make you his for keeps

He double checks with his family who are ecstatic about it and give him the thumbs up

Will take you to his favourite place in his hometown

Someplace scenic that he wanted to show you anyway, but also wants to make an even more special place in his heart

You guys get there and just appreciate the view for a bit and each other’s presence

He asks you what you think of his family

You tell him you adore them and hope they adore you as much as you do them

He tells you they do which makes you happy

That’s when he looks into your eyes for a second before pulling out the ring

‘My family loves you as one of theirs.  Would you do us the honour of becoming a part of our family?”

You start happy crying and say yes a thousand times all while he’s smiling and tearing up that you said yes

He puts the ring on your finger before taking your hand in his while you guys just enjoy the view a bit more

His family is thrilled you said yes and throw a small celebration in honour of your engagement

Lou/Hosung:

I feel like Lou would want to do it somewhere private??

Like just the two of you, he wouldn’t want an audience

He’d either take you to a secluded scenic area or just do it at home one night

He’d have to gather the courage for months beforehand because what if you say no??

Once he finally chocks up the courage he sneaks out during practice one day with one of the members to pick out a ring because he’s afraid of making the wrong choice and wants the opinion of the member you’re closest to (besides him of course)

But the member almost spoils it next time you’re at the dorms by talking about the excursion with Lou and Lou lowkey wants to kill the member

Once all the members know what he plans on he knows he has to do it soon so they’ll stop teasing him

He takes you to your favourite place to eat (even if it’s a food truck he doesn’t care he just wants you to have your favourite food) then takes you to a movie

Afterwards you guys head home and settle in on the couch to watch something

You can see him fidgeting with his fingers but don’t say anything

After a few minutes of fidgeting and shaking he turns to you

“So I wanted to do this at home with just the two of us…”

You’re confused and slightly worried

Like is he going to break up with you??  Did something happen??  You have no clue and it makes you a little anxious

“So I’ve been thinking about this for a while now…” he says as he holds your hands

Finally after not being able to speak he pulls out the little box and presents it to you with a heavy blush dusting his cheeks

“...will you...um...will you marry me?”

You sigh with relief and give him a kiss “yes of course I will”

He gives you a kiss back and puts the ring on your finger, just admiring you for a minute because ??? you said yes???

Next time he goes to the dorms the members immediately start teasing him not realizing you came with

He just pulls you towards them and shows them your ring with a proud smile on his face

Ziu/Heejun:

I feel like he’d be the type to do it spontaneously

Like you guys would be doing something random like chilling at home on the couch together

Or walking in the park with bubble tea or street food

And he would suddenly feel compelled to ask, like something just clicks inside him

There’s no planning but he just knows

If you’re at home he finds something resembling a ring or pulls one of your rings out of your jewelry box and asks you with that

If you’re at the park he’d fashion a blade of grass or a flower stem into a ring and use that

“Let’s get married”

You’re just like ??? where did this come from?

But you of course say yes no matter what

He takes the makeshift engagement ring and puts it on your finger

Immediately takes you back to dorms to tell the rest of the group (and to tease the single members that the maknae got engaged before them because he’s a lil shit)

A couple weeks later you guys go down to the shop and buy your wedding rings together

He uses your newly acquired wedding ring to propose again except with a formal ring this time

Though if anyone ever asks to see the wedding ring you show them the makeshift one because you think it’s cute
