i wouldn't be me if i didn't develop a fixation over objectively bad sibling relationships in the media/books i consume. i've had it out in the asoiaf fandom wrt sansa and arya, and i've even kind of pointed it out with feyre and nesta (although i don't care much for those books so these two never made me thought-spiral as much), and now having watched the main twd show + dd + towl + dead city, i NEED to point out maggie rhee and beth greene (and shawn, but being dead before we ever meet him, he's a moot point).

i never much thought that there was a rift, per se, between maggie and beth during season 2 and especially the episode 18 miles out, where beth attempts to take her life and then realises she wants to live after all. i mean, maggie reacted badly, and accused beth of being selfish, but i could never put out of my mind how much pity there was in maggie's eyes when she saw how badly beth had been affected, and i wondered whether the lack of empathy was a facet of maggie's character or just her response to beth in particular. after beth decides to live, we never do see maggie as close to beth as they'd been in that episode.

it was almost as if maggie had preemptively mourned beth after her suicide attempt even though she doesn't want beth dead, of course. it seemed that beth's prolonged and lasting sadness over her mom and brother's death might even have prompted maggie to harden herself against her family's loss (of course this acceptance of their possible deaths cannot prepare her for their actual deaths later); possibly this preparatory measure came easier to her because by maggie's own account she'd been angry and possibly resentful of annette and only after her father's prompting had maybe swallowed down those feelings till she didn't have to because then she went away to college and had some distance and afterward annette was dead, and annette hadn't really been her mother and shawn wasn't even related to her in the way beth was-- so, controversial it may be, but i don't think maggie could understand beth's loss.

her real loss came after, when her father was murdered in front of her, but by then maggie had someone who was her own family, something she'd created for herself, with someone she didn't have to accept but actually wanted to. maggie cared about glenn in a way that overshadowed her love for beth, in a possessive codependent manner (which is understandable because they are living in such a dangerous world) which didn't leave much space for worrying about the family she did have left.

maggie was quick to give up on hershel when he lost his leg, and even then beth had been hopeful, she'd had faith not only in her father but in the people around her and the care they'd shown to hershel. in beth's mind, even a sliver of hope was enough for her to hang everything on, and this is clearer than ever post-prison when she stood up to a raging daryl and dragged him out of the mental place he'd regressed to because he had absolutely no hope left-- and this is a beth that also witnessed hershel's murder, also failed to save judith from the prison; this is a beth that has faced this kind of loss before and she still manages to keep herself and daryl afloat till they are eventually in a place where they weren't just surviving but in fact beginning to live.

this is actually really striking and those post-prison events really convinced me that beth was emotionally more mature than her sister, and more prepared to handle loss in a world where loss was constant. which is also why the fact that the show implies that beth was the "weak link", and refutes her assertation of "i am strong" by killing her off and then never mentioning her again in a tangible manner, in fact going so far as to deliberately avoid her name makes me love her all the more. she was a show-only character and they could have done anything with her, but they chose this and then further erased her and diminished her only to introduce a bunch of actually weak characters. lol.

basically, i can only ever love maggie's character in isolation, as in i have to actively pretend she never had any family apart from maybe her dad, who at least gets a photograph appearance in dead city-- because yeah, maggie's character is interesting but i personally can't get behind her 100% because all this doesn't stop her character's grief from being unconvincing in it's totality. the only loss that breaks maggie in an irreparable way is glenn, and then she turns this loss outward and never has any tolerance for emotional weakness-fueled decisions or fear in anyone else. like she's constantly defending her own deficit by disallowing it in the people near her and then years later she kind of just tunnel-visions onto negan in a way that even her teenage son has to point it out.

Why is this deeply hilarious to me

[tapestrytales]

Sometimes I feel like that window period of someone falling in love with me has passed. It's supposed to happen when you're at your best, with the best to give to the world. Whereas I am at my absolute worst with nothing left inside of me to give. I have become a rotten mess, who wishes they'd met their true potential. In fact right now would have been a great time for the person in love with me to remind me why I am absolutely worth it and that I should get back up. Right now would have been a great time to be reminded of the fact that I have genuinely got it. It sucks that all my life was wasted and not one good relationship or friendship was formed. Not one good career prospect. Nothing. I'll be seven and twenty and no different than how I was at my 16 or 17 or 18. At my absolute low in my absolute worst form, with my mom around to remind me of the worst parts of me. Fuck.
