"Omg Daryl Dixon is so close off he never talks" WRONG.

Daryl Dixon might come off as quiet, but he actually loves sharing his little stories when he thinks someone could learn from them or feel better. Like, when he talks about getting lost in the woods for days with no one looking for him, I know it's a way to let us know him but also, he does it to give hope while they’re looking for Sophia. Then when he opens up to Carl about his mom to help him feel understood and give him a chance to talk about his feelings, that was so special sharing such a vulnerable part of himself for the sake of the other it's beautiful. With Beth, he shares some stuff about living with Merle to show her that she doesn’t have to change; she’s already better than he is. And when they're searching for Connie’s sister, he tells Connie about Merle to cheer her up a bit even with the language barrier which makes it more important, because he is really trying.

Daryl has been through a lot of tough stuff, and it feels like he’s trying to make that pain mean something by passing on what he’s learned. It’s like he’s saying, “I went through this for a reason, and now I’ve got some knowledge to share I have to make all this damage good game.” These little moments show how selfless he is and how much he really cares. From the start, these details reveal who he truly is.

HE WAS NEVER A LONE WOLF BY DECISION, HE WAS NEVER MEAN AND MOST DEFINITELY HE WASN'T MERLE DIXON

DARYL & CONNIE The Walking Dead ◆ 11x24 “Rest in Peace”

[emeryhiro]

What are your thoughts on Connie and Daryl? I have always found his reactions towards her to be very different - he acts very giddy and light in front of her. Do you think the show would have ever gone in that direction? Bcoz that was a pretty popular ship during the last few seasons rie?

Hey Anon!

Thank you for the question ♡♡♡

I personally love Connie; she's definitely one of my favourite characters on the show.

Now, in terms of what I think about Connie and Daryl as a romantic couple (I really hope I don't upset a bunch of people with this): yes, it was and still is a pretty popular ship, and I can definitely see how it could work, just like how Carol and Ezekiel did for a time. But, I don't think the show would have or should have gone in that direction and here's my reasoning as to why:

Firstly, the GIF above shows a very intentional shot that was filmed and included in the episode (S10EP1). I think this shot is meant to symbolises the parallel between the two relationships: Carol/Ezekiel and Connie/Daryl. Both can be good together, but neither is the true love/perfect match for the other.

I think Daryl's giddy and light behaviour around Connie is completely genuine. Daryl is very good at reading people, and he can tell that Connie is truly a kind and good person, which allows Daryl to trust her enough to be comfortable and more open than usual around her. And if I had to compare their relationship to anything, I would compare it to a healthy sibling bond, where Daryl treats Connie like the younger sister he never had, hence why he's also very protective and gentle with her.

It's also important to note that Daryl only shows his good sides to Connie; perhaps that's another way of protecting her, like those of us with younger siblings do to shield them from difficult things. And that's also the difference between Connie and Carol. With Carol, he shows 100% of himself, the good and the bad. He can be completely honest with her even when he's at his lowest and trusts her completely because he sees her as his equal, which she is. They complete each other and rely on each other equally.

Carol and Ezekiel's relationship is also a great example of the depth of a relationship like that. Yes, they were in love and happy while they had their fairy tail, but when they lost Henry and the kingdom, and Carol was at her lowest, she didn't need Ezekiel; she needed Daryl, because he was the one she could be 100% honest with and trust completely.

And when I look at it as a romantic relationship, I think the difference between Donnie and Caryl is the difference between someone who can be good for you, and you can be content and happy with them when things are good, versus someone you need during the good and the bad, someone you can be your true self with without fear, someone who knows you better than you know yourself and loves you unconditionally, which is precisely how I see Caryl.

tl;dr Connie is great, but she's not Carol 😊

Thanks again for your question ♡ I really hope I explained this well 😅 I would love to hear what you think, even if you disagree with me.
