negan and maggie’s relationship is so. so fuckign fascinating to me. like. like…imagine teaming up with someone (repeatedly) who killed the love of your life and was also either directly or indirectly responsible for the death of your friends. imagine wanting nothing more than wanting to kill this person and feeling bitter and angry because your friends refuse to kill this person. you are so anguished over it that you leave with your son (whose father was murdered by this person), and then you come back, and all your friends seem to begrudgingly trust (or at least coexist) with this awful person. and this person is now trying to help you. he saves your life multiple times and also saves your son, the last living reminder of your murdered love. this person is asking to become the monster so you don’t have to. this person tells you that you need to come back. this person understands that you would kill him, and he might even let you. he lets you do the closest thing to killing him instead—he lets you turn him in, knife to his throat, and you’re leaving him, and your son won’t talk to you, and you come to the sudden realization that perhaps you need to go back for this monster. what the hell kind of dynamic is this

#caroline talks #dead city #like. yeah. i’m thinking about maggie and negan again #like. they’re sooo frog and the scorpion coded.#like. it’s so. good. but also so complicated #tbh in my head. i think that like . . .#i think negan and maggie will always walk this incredibly fragile line #i think it’ll only end with like. maggie saving negan a la rick grimes #and frankly. glenn rhee.#i keep thinking ‘if glenn were alive. how would he look at negan today.’#bc on the one hand i don’t think he would have ever forgiven negan either #but also i think he would have been a cross between daryl and aaron and gabriel in opinion of negan #kind of like. bitchy. rightfully so. but also like. understanding he could be vaguely useful #but then u hit the wall of ‘well. we’ll never know bc negan killed Glenn’#the other alternative is negan dying for maggie and hershel #which would ALSO hurt. esp bc as awful as negan could be #like . . . i do think he genuinely has it in him to be a better man and i want him to see his son and wife again #the FUNNIEST thing that could happen #would be if ginny and joshua and hershel all became friends #and negan and maggie become funny little play date parents #with like. maggie being begrudgingly nice to joshua and ginny #and glaring at negan…and meanwhile hershel kind of begrudgingly tolerates negan #and has to go ‘mom. mom stop glaring at him. joshua is RIGHT there.’
