I'm was a hardcore Lee x Lily shipper back in the day and I'm still kinda am. I deserve your best insults 😔 Idk Lily rebelling against her father and open up to Lee was kinda cute, like she knew about Lee's past but she remained silent and acted if nothing happened for him (if you are in good terms with her). A random Hc I had was that she actually wanted Lee and Clem to come with her but was scared about what might happen or what they would think of her so she just left them behind.

Wait no hold on I'm curious about this

I know there were people who shipped Lee and Lilly when s1 was coming out, but I haven't really talked to anyone who was one of those people.

I have a complicated history with Lilly. Well, mostly s1 Lilly. Still hate tfs Lilly, but she's become one of my favorite characters in the first season. It took me a little while to get there but that's where I am.

And y'all know I'm all about Lee and Carley, but Imma put that on the side for a minute because if we're talking solely about s1 Lilly [which yeah, duh makes sense] and Lee, I don't hate the idea of this ship.

But there are some complications.

Lilly knows her dad hates Lee but she still stands by him because he's her dad and she loves him.... even if he's a piece of shit. It's complicated. She tells Lee this when he brings up that Larry still treats him bad, and you get the sense that Lilly disagrees with Larry and sees Lee as a good man. She knows about her father's pain, we don't, and while that doesn't excuse his behavior by any means... it makes sense that she has a bigger picture than us and that in this world, he's the last blood family she has left. She's aware that he's terrible and does her best to keep an eye on him so that he doesn't repeat the whole "you're not comin' with us you sonofabitch!" thing.

She appreciates what Lee was willing to do to help her father get his medicine, even after he blew up on everyone and tried to kick Duck out. Hell, she didn't agree with him in that situation either.

Larry doesn't treat Lilly right for a lot of the season, and even when he's complimenting her, it feels like he's laying even more pressure on her shoulders, y'know? Plus, if we take into account the shit she says about him in tfs.... yeah. Larry wasn't the greatest father.

Yeah, he's a prick, we all know this.... but then he has his heart attack and Lilly desperately tries to bring him back and begs for Lee's help. If he does help her, he becomes the one person Lilly feels she can rely on and trust. He continued to prove her father wrong, prove that he's a good man who wants to help people rather than do more harm.

So the idea that they would eventually grow closer, assuming the thing with the bandits didn't happen, isn't impossible and if given enough time, something could happen. Unfortunately, bandits attacked and Lilly was so distraught, angry, and obsessed that she ended up killing Carley/Doug, which caused her to either be left behind or locked up until she could steal the van.... and then she came back horrible in tfs soooo that's great.

Also, interesting that you share that headcanon because when I streamed my "choices I never make/under picked choices" run, I took Lilly with us and when she confronted Lee and asked him to come with her, I agreed.

Lee agreed to steal the RV with her, and she told him to go get Clementine... but then you go to her and Lilly steals the RV anyway and it's like??? but I thought we were gonna ditch em all together??? you lied to me??

Real interesting.... because yeah, I believe she wanted them to come with her, too. But Clementine was right there when she shot Carley/Doug and I think Lilly struggled with the idea of having to face the little girl who she further traumatized... plus, were Lee and Clem gonna treat her differently? after what she did? what if she ended up hurting them? maybe it's best to just..... go alone?

So she did.

I dunno, they could've been a cute pair but there's just a lot going against them. If it's not Larry, it's Kenny. If not him, then it's the bandits and cannibals and walkers and Lee's past and just all sorts of shit, y'know?
