something that kinda irks me is when people say they stopped watching twd JUST BECAUSE glenn died. like… he literally died in the comics, his death was inevitable. it was part of the storyline. and i totally get it that you don’t want to watch after your favorite character dies, but let’s be real because if you read or knew about the comics you would have anticipated glenns death and pretty much accepted that it was going to happen at some point. many great characters died in the history of twd. and don’t read me wrong—glenn was one of my favorite characters, and seeing him die literally ripped my heart out of my chest. but to stop watching a show because a character who was meant to die, died? it’s kinda crazy to me 😭
i also wanted to say that i 100% agree that glenn’s death left a hole in the show because his character was so strong and relatable to so many (including me). i’m not at all bashing on people that stopped watching after he died. i’m simply stating my confusion as to why that was your only reason to stop watching the show lol.
also also, when carl’s death came along, i couldn’t continue watching twd for a while. that’s because killing him off was unreasonable; he didn’t die in the comics, and the reason they kicked him off the show was because chandler riggs turned 18 and his contract with the show ended. now THATS a good reason to stop watching twd in my opinion.

TWD thoughts
Finished rewatching ‘The Saviors Arc’, second half of season 6, all of season 7 & 8 and boy oh boy. 😪
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f5b6f74196ced26b6cb3e9ed2b24a153/6971c10be9414b6f-e0/s400x600/8dcb1f274faeae7d42bcf1b08eb2c7f00f73ada6.jpg)
a) Carol is a badass and her and Ezekiel make so much sense. Ngl her bond with Daryl is beautiful but they’re kindred, bonded but not romantic, no heat, no tension, not romantic to me
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f35d878ecfdc27bae78e9f7af44a3919/6971c10be9414b6f-86/s540x810/999258f98bf0a9a900ece25aa0e0adccc4a16f76.jpg)
b) the lack of Michonne was CRIMINAL for real I get that Danai was probably filming Black Panther around that time but nah Michonne needed way more camera time, Richonne needed way more camera time😤
c) in connection with b, so much unnecessary camera time was given to others, The Saviors plot strung on for waaaayyyy too long, ugh.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/248dccce3f706ba4851d5d1f6b7ea61d/6971c10be9414b6f-31/s540x810/45a7b6fb5d2aa24cf6fdd73ad489714332aa3443.jpg)
d) f**k Negan, f**k the saviors, they ALL needed to go. WHAT COMES AFTER could still have been without them, no amount of letters make it make sense in my eyes. Seeing him bash people heads in like that, tryna pull a sacrificial lamb bit with Rick & Carl, everything he and his henchmen did.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dcabdd5077f7d1bd9514744e2c22e180/6971c10be9414b6f-a6/s540x810/c0167d9473897183f0d63c9fc2d9d12fc25f7a0a.jpg)
Naaahh sorry Junior Grimes but Rick & Michonne could have did good by you without him, without the goons.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/87d4aa0752d12542c97143ca9301a52d/6971c10be9414b6f-b5/s540x810/36389e6f04c2c7803e5d138868e3764b3a004954.jpg)
The powers that be wanted JDM a part of the show, the spin off etc, but couldn’t give a better way to make that happen than that piss poor way? They choose when they stay true to the comics and not, they couldn’t make his ‘redemption’ better (not that there really was in season 8 anyway)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/330b9f4f21276336dbf87293ea966054/6971c10be9414b6f-57/s540x810/0efe5164aaa62365181a4b1d8a93bf0d6cc3adfe.jpg)
d) The workers in the Sanctuary, the families, for real?! With every new plan, no one and I mean no one could plan for them, so The Saviors could all be taken out but the workers protected?! Yea Daryl & Tara can have that one. Only difference is I wudda thrown molotovs in there and STAYED to finish the job. They’ve all survived herds previously and thought a herd could finish it? Tuh.
e) So Daryl and Dwight (trying not to spoil for anyone that hasn’t seen it)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2601cc0fa64a01b70e2b5947e3c17901/6971c10be9414b6f-db/s540x810/562e4b2f9ee208080aab6ebb1659391642f30144.jpg)
…but Daryl and Maggie end of Season 8?! I 3000% get Maggie and her hate for Negan, see point d, but…I do also place some blame on them for the bridge, sorry, not sorry.
Again the writers??? The writers finally gave us canon Richonne, so little of it 🙁, but still brought them together
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b376b248de24862b2a3cc135637732be/6971c10be9414b6f-cc/s540x810/320b1dc16fc086eea107ab5346d851bb870add17.jpg)
but everything else 😑

WAIT HELP I READ TOO FAST 😭😭
omg but who are your favs in the twdg games... 😳😳😳
OH HFHGFHJ ITS FINE I DO THAT ALL THE TIME TOO BUT YEAH AS YOU KNOW I LOVE THE GAMES AND SHOW AND ALSO THE COMIC!! BUT FOR THE GAMES UHMMM..omg this is SUCH a tough question honestly?? like, i feel very complicated about basically every character in this series so its hard to just pick one fave....
hmm i will say tho i have ALWAYS loved Lee and Clementine (obviously,who doesnt hehe) i just love them sm 😭the first game just makes me so emotional FRFR in the first game i also loved Ben,Chuck, Omid and Christa and Molly!! id also include Kenny but...i have a sorta love/hate relationship with that guy 😭😭😭😭hes such a good character tho!! in general i think the first game was just so good😌😌
for the other games im less familiar with them since ive only played the other seasons once each so my memory is probably a little off,but i remember really liking Sarah ,Nick,Luke and Jane from the 2nd season,but again i think some of these characters are like. love/hate with me currently,i think s2 is so turbulent that its kinda hard to pick faves really (for me atleast) with the 3rd season i remember LOVING that Tripp guy and also Javier,but its been years since i last played the game so i probably have a bunch of different opinions on everything now😭😭in general i just dont remember too much from that game,i definitely have to replay it eventually..for s4 tho?? hmm honestly,i think i loved like,90% of the cast in that LMAO but i think i liked uhhm AJ the most.and also i think his name was Asim (or aasim) and Ruby,i liked them alot i think,and louis and violet too 😌😌😌also the dog?? does the dog count??? in general i just thought the characters were pretty interesting in that game,but again i think ima just have to replay all of these again to see how i REALLY feel
ANYWAYS THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AURA!!! i would LOVE to know your faves too😈😈😈😈😈😈
#my friend!!!!!!!#cant believe im getting a twd question in our modern year 2024 (thank you. i cannot get enough of this stupid zombie franchise)#maybe the zombies were the friends we made along the way (?)#i think rick grimes said something to that effect in like season 5 or something .sorry#I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD GAMES SOO MUCH#the first game i ever got a platinum trophy on was twd s1 for the ps3#lots of good memories. it scared me so much but i was so infatuated with the world i HAD to do everything in it#i think its funny how i got into this whole series through the games.didnt even know anything abt the show#it came out in like..2012 right?? 2013?? so i was lik 7 or 8 .crazy#yes i still get scared at these games. im stil lscared of fnaf. sue me. yes i still cry at the ending to s1#SUE ME IDC#me when the father figure has to leave.me when the figure who is a father to young girl has to abandon her for reasons they cant control#me when fathers. me when men who father children who arent their own and love them like their own cuz they are kind and good.#clenches fists...oughhh...family..#anyways this is so crazy cuz i was thinking about playing the games again like a week ago#can you read my mind?????????? probably. clown to clown communication. gg fan to gg fan communication#isnt it so crazy that twdg are taking place at like the exact same time that like. the show (or comic i dont remember) is??#like. i dont rlly think abt that enough tbh. its kinda crazy to me#the fact that we had glenn for like 1 (one) chapter in the games is so crazy to me. he was just out there#i also really liked glenn but idk if he counts since he was like.a cameo. he was like a disney channel show cameo idk#anyways sorry for the rants.i just had my vitamins im CRAZY im PSYCHO rn!!#anyone else ever get a lil emotional thinking abt kenny. im sure we all do. but. oughh. s2 kenny and lee comparison makes my brain hurt#anyways. i need to STOP im a MADMAN RN#see this is what happens when you ask me about my interests. leave me alone (joke. pats you on shoulder and smiles softly)

twd season 9 intro has no right going that fucking hard with the visuals
#twd liveblog#the like? tree glitching out when the birds fly off? sick as shit#also it's funny I haven't been interracting with the fandom WHATSOEVER up until about now#and it's really interesting to see what other people think vs what I think completely un-influenced by other fans#people reeaally don't like this show after season 5.#which is... like. I get it? it's *different* after alexandria.#but I really liked season 6 and I thought season 7 fucked#season 8 was a bit of a chore. that war went on for so. fucking. long. and they killed carl!#but season 9 so far? I'm liking it.#I miss the raw wildness of the earlier seasons but#I'm invested enough in the characters to watch them do whatever they do#also y'all. The farm was far more boring than alexandria. that was season 2.#I was invested in the sophia plot and them finding her in the barn was nuts#but then they just stayed there.. and watched Shane become progressively more insufferable.. and watched Daryl beat up some random hostage.

you guys are lucky I have restraint because I just wrote TWO (2) incoherent posts about merle and daryl because I was watching a bunch of talking dead interviews and was thinking about characters but it's ok because into the forever drafts they go
#iiiiiii worked for 8 hours today and got home and watched a shitload of talking dead#why is it impossible to find any full talking dead episodes earlier than like season 7 i dont want highlights i want THE WHOLE CONVERSATION#if i cant find lauren cohans thoughts on maggies scene with the governor im gonna eat shoes#no but im rewatching twd with my roommate and that means im thinkin bout CHARACTERS#and i hate merle. but god if he isnt interesting. especially in congruence with daryl#ANYWAY#its. 2am. so its fine#i just needed to have thoughts but u dont need to worry about them so intooooooooooo the forever drafts. begone#twd

Daryl has always been your lifeline, your escape from a broken home and a rough childhood on the wrong side of Atlanta, Georgia. No matter how hard things got, you had him, and he had you—until Officer Shane Walsh came along and turned your world upside down. As your bond with Daryl starts to unravel, so does the world around you. Now, you’re navigating a post-apocalyptic nightmare, where survival means facing not just the walkers, but trying to repair what you once had with Daryl and Shane’s increasingly aggressive behavior. Set during Seasons 1 & 2 of The Walking Dead. Reader insert.
Important note: For this story's purpose, Daryl is in his 20s during s1 of TWD. Fem reader. Use of Y/N.

Most of these are all going to be fanfictions moved from my ao3! My ao3 is usually more updated with fics, but I’m trying to adjust to tumblr formatting as well!
I’m open to x reader requests and am willing to explore most topics, as long as you’re patient with me!
When I fixate on a character I tend to only write for that character as my writing flourishes better that way!
Currently only writing for Daryl Dixon.

Thoughts on Caryl/MMB/TWDCaryl
First things first, I'm super new to the fandom stuff involving anything The Walking Dead... but I've been through this before.
So--- I began The Walking Dead in 2018, which is around when Season 8 was about to premiere I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). Nevermind the fact I watched the premiere episode all the way back in 2010 and for some reason, never watched again, lol. All I remember is binge watching the first 7 seasons and waiting for the new season to air. But something came up, and I somehow lost track of the new episodes. Fast forward 6ish years and I decided to rewatch from the beginning ...on election night .... to distract from the chaos. I ended up watching the entire series (plus two seasons of #TWDCaryl) in 3 weeks.
Similar to many other fans, I loved the whole cast, but something drew me to Carol and Daryl the most. I remember loving them the first time, but I never really "delved" into it. I liked the idea of them, but I wasn't super... shippy if that makes sense. But---and this is important--- I was already fully immersed in a long-term ship already in EO. Yeah, that EO. The 25 year long slow burn ship from Law and Order SVU. I guess you can say I didn't have the brain function to obsess over two different ships... at least not back 6ish years ago, which is still about 2 years before news broke Chris Meloni/Elliot was coming back to the franchise after 10 YEARS away. SO--- if you're familiar at all with that and/or EO and the drama with the ship itself, the other ships within the show, and the fans --then we're on the same page.
Which brings me back to Caryl/TWD spinoff. I can't say I'm super surprised at the drama surrounding the new spinoff ---which I was insanely excited about years ago when it was first announced even though I hadn't watched the show in a couple of years. Plus, I was a Caryl fan from the beginning too. But then the news broke that Melissa wasn't going to be on the spinoff after all and I remember thinking --- I'm kind of glad I didn't get as invested in them as I have EO (which is ridiculously invested ---17 years worth of fanfic, fanart, twitter, tumblr friends, etc). But after rewatching the series in its entirety this past November-- I've lost that battle. While I didn't hardcore ship Caryl the first time around (even though I really liked the idea) ---I'm down bad now. Especially after watching seasons 9/10/11 and now the spinoff. My twitter bookmarks, tumblr queue and tags are a Caryl mess right now and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I absolutely adore Melissa and Norman, and their friendship mirrors Chris and Mariska's on SVU's as well (Elliot and Olivia) in a lot of ways -- but that's for another time. (Also-- if you haven't watched Norman's ep of SVU -- highly recommend -- it's in Season 7). I truly think the friendships behind these characters truly drive the effectiveness of duos and ships. If the actors don't get along and/or truly love each other in real life-- it's just not the same. The love truly bleeds onto the screen when it's organic. It really makes everything "earned' like Mariska and Norman have both said about the relationships.
So--- it's disheartening to see that even though Melissa is back in the TWD world after all, and appeared at the end of S1 of the spinoff and all of Season 2, that she's -- from what I've seen tweeted/posted on tumblr --- not getting the respect she deserves, or so it seems. Being a part of a duo comes with all kinds of peaks and valleys. So, one half not getting what they deserve is something I hope sincerely isn't the case. She is literally my favorite female character on this show. I truly think MMB, is a gifted actress who is light years ahead in talent. And again, I love pretty much every character.
With MMB being a woman of a certain age leading a long running show--- I can't help go back to SVU with Mariska. Being leading women on high profile tv shows in your late 50's, early 60's is something to celebrate and be super careful with to be quite frank. MH has been lead/Co-lead on her show for 26 seasons now and an executive producer. If she's getting the respect over at nbc, then Melissa certainly should be getting the same over at amc. (Don't get me wrong, there is still BS behind the scenes on SVU too, but in different ways). Especially if she's also now an EP on TWD. ESPECIALLY by being a part of this for 15 years which is nothing to sneer at. Carol has got to be amongst the longest running female characters on television right now.
I certainly don't know much about what is going on behind the scenes in this case, and I don't really want to knowing what I've known and heard with SVU over the years. Sometimes it's better to NOT know. That's totally ignoring what the showrunner is saying in interviews and what not. I've definitely heard about him. Ugh. With that being said, hopefully things are not what they seem and that there's a lot to be excited and surprised about when Season 3 comes out I'm assuming later this year. There's a thin line between toxic positivity and just having been around the block a few times with previous shows and trying to wait it out. This means taking into consideration what is being filmed elsewhere and indoors.
I'm rooting for Caryl (big time) and for good writing for them. In regards to MMB not being seen on set much, hopefully it's purely her decision for it being that way, or because they're doing what SVU/OC have been doing and trying to keep storylines under wraps so they aren't spoiled --since the whole S2 got released prematurely for the Caryl Spinoff. Maybe it's wishful thinking. Maybe it's seen through rose-colored lenses because I'm not used to this type of fandom discourse like I am with SVU.
It's 2025, and I'm just rooting for my ships to finally receive the writing/canon they deserve. I must be a glutton for punishment because why in the frick do I ship these two??? LOL.
Anyways, I just wanted to get this off my chest because I hate seeing the downside to something I love so much and I'm sure that's true for everyone who comes across this.
I'll certainly be over on twitter expressing my love for Melissa/Carol and Caryl. (I do love Norman as well -- but wanted to focus this on what's important and that's giving Melissa her flowers.) Give that woman an EMMY. Anyways.
Thanks for reading my thoughts even as discombobulated as they may be. Caryl is endgame! BOOM.
#eo is also endgame because I'm never gonna learn my lesson#caryl#twdcaryl#carol x daryl#svu#bensler#melissa mcbride#carol peletier#twd caryl
