[riosnecktattoo]

i haven’t watched it in like five years but The Walking Dead finally finishing and Daryl and Carol never knowing each other carnally is some BULLSHITTTT

[wolfwhiteflowers]

ok my turn to complain or something....lol

 twd filming spoilers~

on caryl and the show in s8. (s8 had premiered and wow, so many criticisms out there. the show is back!)

eta. taking a break from caryl fandom stuff. i still ship them.

so it seems like there will not be lot of caryl scenes in s8 or the majority of it. it’s gonna be like s4 or like s7. u get the point. s8 kinda reminds me of s4 premiere “pookie” scene and the rest of the season we barely saw her/caryl.

it’s hard being a caryl shipper..or harder for someone to only watch for a ship (not me, though). i guess what it is, is that caryl is a subtle ship and writers plan to keep doing that. They interact a few times in season. Angsty and great chemistry. We know they’re close.  i just idk why we wait again. why is it all reunion scenes. A lot of you guys are frustrated and, well, it what the writers had always done ...i think since s3 or s4. yeah, a long time. They’re a subtle ship, I guess. sigh. 

so in s8, i guess carol and daryl will do their own thing and deal with their issues/character arcs. like daryl’s and his guilt and rage ..or something. It’s kinda dumb, cos when can a person be ready to be in a relationship? no one is.they need each other kind of thing. 

idk what im saying. i just idk why the writers keep separating them and we wait for the fifth time. im fine, if the ship progresses ..and progresses to be canon. (give me easter eggs then. i might be ok to have them be already canon offscreen.) I just wanna say i’m bummed again , i have to wait for caryl interactions. I also have high expectation on wondering if they go canon in s8, because of the timejump. I’m hoping there’s major caryl scenes in( late) s8. it would be weird if twd writers praise caryl ship, when they’re not canon even after five years-timejump. just tell us, writers, what caryl’s relationship is exactly.

---some things to remember. twd show’s timeline is slow. it’s also slow paced..imo, it kinda makes it feel realistic-like and see characters’s emotions. So, probably wait till mid/finales to judge on story arc. Also s8 is like s6A, like it take place about a few days, plus war. it’s an ensemble show/ rick show.

  those who compare caryl and r!chonne ‘s ship’s buildup, it’s dumb cos they’re both written by same group of writers. plus i don’t think caryl will have more screentime or as much as r!chonne. 

---also, im more of an overall fan. i watch for the group surviving, then character arcs, then ship moments. i also don’t think twd is the worst show. i’ve seen worse. my list expectations of a story is met. i dont really see super dumb storylines, ooc moments, bad notp ships,..those kind of things...AT THE MOMENT. i know the show is not perfect, i always know that and so. :shrugs:  ..it’s that fun drama show. ok.

--- eta. Recently (10/27) I read some major spoilers for s8  and I now think ..it’s like not a good idea to showcase Caryl or them to be canon during this season. It might be like too insenstive? But then again it’s like the show can have multiple storylines to happen. the good/the bad/the ugly..like life. idk Maybe end of s8, they can show Caryl. Or, they could have had Caryl be canon on 8x01. idk ..depends on the writing and ratings...(some wanna theorize that caryl to be canon or bait us to watch, to get more ratings.) fandom things, but it’s up to me if i wanna watch it/ship it. ........I just IDK. It’s a bummer season for Carylers and fans.
