#my empire of dirt if you will

[f0x-meets-w0lf]

well hey there friends and fiends, old and new! it’s so lovely to see some new folks here and so much activity that i wasn’t expecting. is this the dawn of a new fmw era? am i about to be willfully placed back into the loving, unhinged, horny shackles of fandom/fanart-making? perhaps so. perhaps not.

perhaps i will just be sprinkling little morsels about this digital plane every once in a blue moon, like rare truffles for all of the sweet fandom piggies to unearth with careful searching and patience. only time will tell

but either way, hiiii! i love y’all whether i know you or not, whether you’re a fresh follower or longtime one. this wee blog here has oft been a place for me to get my silly little ideas out of my brain, for better or for worse. welcome to my lil trash goblin corner 👹 thank you for joining me, it’s a delight to have you here. pull up an inflatable bubble chair or tufted floor pillow and make yourself at home. i’ve got fresh fruit juice and cold water in the mini fridge if you’re thirsty

@wexarethewalkingxdead asked 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 ! (for the walking dead muses!!)

1. Which of your muses is the best at cooking? Negan is the best, followed closely by Carl— though he’s more… the best at making things edible. Negan has the most actual culinary skills. He had time to practice after he quit his gig with the school and started taking care of Lucille full time, and he’s figured more out in this post apocalyptic hell hole. Carl, on the other hand, grew up with parents that couldn’t cook worth shit… and then had to deal with eating whatever was available. Due to this, he’s found ways to make things far better than they ought to be. With more availability to supplies, though, he has learned to cook… and is the main meal maker for his family. Aside from these two— Beth is fairly good with simple dishes and baking. Rick and Lizzie are, to put it kindly, hopeless in a kitchen.

4. Which of your muses is more likely to eat something even if it has fallen on a dirty floor? Honestly, all of them would at this point— though Negan wouldn’t if others were around despite his disgust towards wasting things. Lizzie would eat something that fell onto a dirty floor most readily and with no hesitance.

7. Which of them is more likely to suffer from insomnia? Carl suffers from constant insomnia and it definitely shows. He’s incredibly antsy already but it ramps up when he’s tired. Rick and Negan have both suffered on and off from the condition, though Negan less so. Lizzie hasn’t dealt with it, and Beth handles stress with fatigue.

10. Which of your muses doesn't drink at all / drink the least? Lizzie doesn’t drink. She doesn’t exactly have the oppurtunity nor does she have any interest, really. Her lifestyle necessitates vigilance.

12. Which of your muses has the highest "body count" when it comes to sleeping around? Negan easily, though Lizzie isn’t exactly shy when she wants something. Rick has only ever been with Lori— though some assume he’s been intimate with quite a few women that he’s crossed paths with… Carl and Beth both remain virgins.

13. Which of your muses is the most talkative? Negan and Lizzie tie for this spot. Negan is naturally talkative and always has been. He’s an extrovert and an asshole (proudly) that likes to show off. Running his mouth is a hobby— he finds himself funny and doesn’t see why he shouldn’t entertain himself. Lizzie, on the other hand, is silent the majority of the time due to who she stays with… however, outside of the whisperers, if someone speaks to her? They’ll be hard pressed to shut her up. She desperately craves attention.

16. Which of them is the shiest / less outgoing? Carl. Though it’s less shy and more just… not wanting to talk. He doesn’t have an urge for closeness with people and doesn’t like small talk. In fact, he tends to get grouchy when he’s made to overexert socially.

18. Which of your muses is the worst sore loser? Negan. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. He despises losing and will often shift things in his favor. Lizzie is also a bad loser, and can act incredibly childish about it.

22. Which of your muses is the romantic at heart? Beth and Rick are both incredibly romantic, though both of them are a bit jaded by it. Beth, though, is far easier to crack.

23. Which one of them is the most cynical? Carl. He’s had all of his beliefs dug up, crushed, and scattered. While he wants to believe in people and says he does… he feels very much like he has to do things himself. While he loves and trusts his father, he remembers the time after his mother died that he was alone and all the times his father left him to do things ‘for the good of the group.’ He says he understands, and in a way he does. But his view of relationships and things like fatherhood are disillusioned. As long as he lives in this world he’s incredibly certain of one thing— he’ll never do anything that’ll lead to more mouths to feed.

25. Which of them is the most likely to endanger their life for a stranger?

Strangely, it’s Carl who’s become more willing to endanger himself for a stranger. Rick, understanding his children’s need for him, has stopped taking on unnecessary risk and only does so when he can calculate it’ll end in his favor. Carl, whoever, can be far more reckless with his life… but it honestly would depend on his mood.

"Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here

What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end

And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt"

“I thought I could take you out for lunch.” It was Mother’s Day after all and Fawn still wanted to do something nice for her mom, even if in the past this holiday hadn’t been celebrated a lot, or even in the past they had a shaky relationship.

she answers the door expecting another solicitor - they're the only ones who seem to visit these days. but to her delight , she finds her daughter standing on the front step , proposing an outing - just the two of them. a smile pulls across her lips. she can't remember the last time either of the girls had acknowledged mother's day , not that colleen thought there was much to celebrate. she ended up being pretty shit at the job. but she would take any excuse to spend the afternoon with her daughter.

❝ i would love to go out for lunch ! anywhere you want. let me just grab my purse. ❞ she steps back inside to grab the bag off the chair in the kitchen before stepping outside and pulling the door shut.

❝ oh this will be so much fun ! where do you want to go ? ❞
