A measure of reverence, Pt. 1

Please accept my genuine apologies for the month long delay again, slowpokes. I do have the next two stories after this typed out, which amazes even me :D

When - the morning of the season 2 Chupacabra episode whooo. For the Slowpoke Series, the morning after A mighty good team.

What - the group is gearing up for another day of searching. There’s caffeine, chattering about an iconic early 2000s TV show, Daryl cracking funnies (”What are you brayin’ at, jackass?”), and Shane’s gradual descent. And you finally primp your eyebrows

Relationships - slow burn Daryl x You at the friendship level growing stronger every day, platonic Glenn, and more.

Perspective - You 2nd, Him (Daryl POV) 3rd

Pronouns? - she/her for convenience

TWs? - some language

Is it super long? - nope, about 3,500 words

Is it boring? - at times, y’all, you know how it is. This one was kept lighter because the next two are a bit darker

Are there plot references to other stories? - aw yeah, here’s a link to the Masterlist, slowpoke

Are there lame screenshots from the episode? - naturally, and word-for-word dialogue!

(never wanted to do a bleach wash for a fictional character’s costume so badly)

................................

Early-morning

................................

your morning

“Your mama said yes?” you check with Jimmy again.

“Yeah.”

“I think it’s smart, he knows the area.” Glenn sounds unsure of himself when he next volunteers, “And hey, after we get back, I can help you with…stuff. What, um, what stuff around the farm needs doing? I grew up helping my parents in the garden?”

While those two talk about that, you see that Lori is up and dressed and already hanging laundry to dry. She didn’t really sleep in as much as she probably needed to, but you call “Good mornin’!” just the same and go over to help her.

Dude, you’ve been buzzing around since 6am. The migraine that hit you last night you were able to pretty much do away with after taking the prescription Glenn found—but you woke up early to desperately use the toilet (not even in the RV, you’d used a quickly dug hole by the treeline behind some brush and trees. Blame the magnesium and charcoal).

Anyhoo, you made the coffee today while still half-asleep, and dude, one cup of coffee usually doesn’t perk you up so much!

You’d set up a jar of sun tea for Carol, did laundry, spent some time with Carl, chatted with Maggie and Patricia, survived the lengthy discussion between Rick and Hershel about Carl’s transfusion this afternoon during which Rick still didn’t confront you about how Carl getting shot was your fault and you really wish someone would just out and say it and get it over with, then you opened up + fed + watered the chickens before collecting the eggs for the Greenes, sacrificed a t-shirt to be made into fabric strips for the search party today, primped your eyebrows (finally), made your hair look passable, and wiped down with baby wipes in your tent by way of showering, AND learned some shoulder/neck PT exercises from Jimmy, it was great! You’ve barely even fallen into an inner spiral about the Shane/Lori/Rick/baby situation and about poor Sophia all morning!

Trotting over to Lori, you place your mug (it’s Jacqui’s old mug, actually) on the ground and start to help hang the damp, cleaned clothes. “How’d you sleep?”

Something about the way she says it seems hint that she feels guilty for not waking up early. “Slept like a log, if you can believe it. I didn’t even feel Rick get up.”

“Good.” You shake out and flatten Dale’s cargo pants to get some of the wrinkles out before hanging them.

“Was that your doing, then?”

“Might could’ve told him to sleep in with you last night.”

She takes a slow breath, then pastes on a smile and is most likely trying to sound normal when she asks, “Next time, wake me, especially on laundry day. How are you, is your dizziness gone, honey?”

“All gone.” But ouch, you lift your injured shoulder a little too high while hanging the pants.

She notices and lightly tuts. “Let me hang them, you can hand me the clothespins.” While fixing the line, she makes sure, “Last night, Patricia mentioned checking your stitches. Did you see her?”

“Saw her this morning when I was talking with Maggie. My stitches are doing great, gonna have ’em for another week or so. Why did you have on that frowny face as I walked over here, Lore?” You glance down at her belly then back to her eyes.

With a subtle shake of her head, she hangs up another shirt. “It’s nothing, it was…” she peeks over at you. “Carol just called me our ‘unofficial first lady.’ At first I thought it was funny, but...” That pasted-on cheerful expression falls away to reveal a sort of nervous look. “I-I don’t know why—was that just her saying that, you think?” Her tone of voice suggests that she hopes it’s only Carol who thought so.

However, you shrug very unhelpfully. “Rick is kinda the group’s head, I guess. How’d it come up?”

“She wants to cook dinner for the Greene’s.” She pauses, frowns, and becomes visibly uncomfortable. “But she thought the offer would sound better coming from me. I should’ve told her that was just Ed’s voice in her head, but I was too…I-I didn’t know what to respond so I just kept hanging laundry.”

At least her brows smooth out when she adds, “Dale’s boxers, of all things.”

That got you giggling. “On that topic, I don’t know how y’all got all the bloodstains out of all these. You’d never know.”

The clothes T-Dog had been wearing when his arm got sliced open + the clothing you, Rick, and Carl had been wearing when Carl was shot = clean as if nothing at all happened. Even the clothes the Greene’s lent you that you wore for two and a half days straight (and got egg and blood stains on) look fresh.

You crouch down to grab your coffee and cannot help but remember the phrase Daryl used last night regarding your ‘mother-henning’ as you check, “Did you eat enough breakfast, Lore? That way your vitamins will absor—shoot, we have to get vitamins.”

“I had some water when I woke up.”

“Oh, that’ll keep you going.”

She bumps you with her hips, entertained enough to smile a little.

“Wanna use Jacqui’s mug after I’m finished?” you offer, holding it up. The handle had broken during the rush to leave the CDC, but Lori glued it after. “Have a sip, it’s nice and strong. A little bit is okay, right?”

Nodding, she takes it and her eyes turned glassy. “I miss her.”

Which is why you aren’t expecting the sudden grin after she drinks some. “Honey, this is espresso.”

...........................

his morning

He’d woken up early and taken out the original map to bring to his tent so he could fix all the grids. When his stomach started yelling at him for breakfast, he brought the map back to the campsite and downed a can of beans while working. He even put timeframes down, it was a productive-ass early morning. And that’s with his slight headache after getting slightly drunk last night.

It was Y/N who actually, um…she noticed he wasn’t feeling too hot and went and brought him some painkillers. After poking fun about his breakfast choice, obviously.

Speak of, she’s on her way over with a mug of coffee.

“Good morning, troublemaker,” Dale calls to her. He’s holding this real teeny mug (teacup? fancy shot glass?). “It’s nice to be using Irma’s demitasse this morning.”

Not knowing what that means, Daryl watches as Y/N twists her mouth playfully while chirping back, “G’morning, Dale.”

“You’re definitely feelin’ better,” Daryl muses when she reaches him.

“Miles better from last night. Good stuff is gonna happen today.” She holds out her mug for some reas—oh, the coffee is for him?

Again, he has to quickly pause and digest what it feels like for somebody to give a damn, then has to shove back the assumption that there’s some hidden angle behind it.

Except, when he goes to grab it, it’s barely full (?).

Carol’s voice pops in from his right, and he hasn’t ever heard her sound so teasing before. Never heard her make much noise at all. “Was the espresso accidental, pookie?”

Ha, ‘pookie.’

“Might could’ve been?” Y/N admits with a groan. “Yo, feel my pulse, it’s goin’ haywire.”

That explained why there wasn’t much coffee in the cup, he guesses. Intending to check over the map again, he’s next aware of Y/N snickering to Carol, “Ohh-ho, can that be his nickname?” with her thumb pointed at him.

What does she mean about a nickname? Best ignore that.

...wait, did she mean ‘pookie?’

His ears perk up again upon hearing Y/N happily announcing, “Nah, I slept off the migraine like almost completely!”

That makes him stop nit-picking the grid boundaries and look up at her. “Last night?” Is she even okay to go out today?

Y/N gives a little bow and takes a sip from her water bottle. “Like two hours after falling asleep I woke up ’cause I was getting one, so I took one of the pills Glenn found at the drug store and,” she pauses and turns around. “Glenn, air high-five!” she calls over, and he and she do a little clapping motion from a few yards away. And yeah, she winces because she used her bad shoulder.

Turning back with a shrug, she finishes, “But yeah, I simply went back to sleep, woke up feelin’ pretty good. I th-think having all those other painkillers already in my system helped,” she adds as Carol walks back to, uh, he didn’t know, someplace, wherever she came from. “How’s your hangover, any better? Stomach ain’t queasy?”

“I didn’t drink enough to get hungover, m’fine,” he grumbles. “You, uh, doing okay with what you got goin’ on?”

“Same as yesterday.” She starts concentrating on the new grid lines and appears to be silently mouthing directions while pointing out the path they’d taken yesterday. It’s like she’s studying for a test.

Then a dumb thing happens: when he goes to wipe his nose on his shirt, he smells tuna fish.

Cigarettes he knows he smells like, and BO, obviously, everyone’s sweaty as hell these days, but tuna? He’s gotta draw a damn line somewhere.

When he asks Y/N about it, she’s too absorbed in the grid to give a helpful answer. “I never really mind how you smell, to be honest. Ain’t there a thing to do with gene compatibility and that or some such?”

She doesn’t really mind how I…and what was that about jeans?

Lifting up his shirt again to sniff it then fast as he can, yanking it down where it rode up in the back so his scars won’t be on display, he asks more plainly, “I don’t smell like fish?”

“Oh, that, yeah.” She nods, taking another sip of water. “You had tuna with your breakfast again, right?”

He shakes his head and stands there dumbfounded, trying to figure out how it was possible that he smells like fish (and why he cares).

Rick comes over to study the grid, positioning himself next to Y/N with a “Good morning, weirdo. Daryl, how’s things?”

Then, Daryl remembers how he’d tossed that can of tuna he’d had for breakfast yesterday into his tent. When he took off his overshirt last night, he must’ve flung it right onto the can.

Maybe he should clean up in there…

…Either way, he’s jogging over to change.

.................................

You

“Colored strips to mark the boundaries and searched areas, that’s clever,” Rick mumbles. “Hey Dar—wait, where’d he g—” He looks up and all around. “Y/N, where’s Daryl? I was about to ask him a question.”

“Grabbin’ a fresh shirt.”

He nods and points to a spot on the map. “Do you know what this here is?”

“A high ridge. He wants to get to the top ’cause it’ll show a lot of the search area.”

“Then it looks like you and he are set to head this way after searching this stretch right here?”

“Mr. Greene said most of the houses there were cleared of any sick ones—um, walkers,” you share, massaging the side of your neck the migraine hit last night. “Our hope is Sophia found a safe place to hole up there, it’s right off the trail.”

On her way back to finish helping T-Dog cut the fabric strips for the search grids, Andrea briefly comes over and stands beside you to get a look at the new plans.

Rick’s doing The Squint at you. “Are you okay to join us today? How’s your head? I know Shane doesn’t…” he gestures at you leaves it at that.

Yeah, you know what Shane doesn’t want and what he thinks about the whole thing.

You assure Rick, “My head’s pretty good, all told,” and leave it at that.

“And the rest of you?” he presses, maintaining the squint.

Andrea raises her brows and has your back when she says, “She's able to decide for herself,” as she turns back to rejoin T-Dog, who, as you now see, is inclining his ear to listen in.

“Are your energy levels even any good after givin’ almost three pints two days ago?” you more remind Rick than ask.

He glances behind at the T-Dog and Andrea. Why’s he about to smile? “Well, after about a coffee mug’s worth of espresso,” he chuckles, “I’d say so.”

Ah, another accidental victim. You’re grateful no one in the group has heart issues (and that some of them recognized the mistake by the taste. You and Rick did not have that skill).

“Sorry, Ricky,” you say through an awkward smile.

But it’s cool, he’s still grinning about something. He looks at Andrea and T-Dog again. “When I mentioned how Shane doesn’t feel comfortable with her searching today, she licked the ridge of her teeth just like he does when he’s mad.”

“You’d think they was raised in the same house,” T-Dog dryly comments.

A dumb thing happens: the comment doesn’t hit you like you expect it to. You should have giggled and forgotten about it.

And you like being compared to your siblings, you love them. You loved it when your foster siblings started adopting mannerisms like you guys.

But hearing that silly, little, meaningless observation comparing you and Shane, it hit different…

Stop being an idiot about it. Stupid girl. Shane is a good man, you know that. Give him a damn break.

Rick looks more serious when he murmurs, “Speak of, let me go get him. Just need to go over a few things. Be ready in a few.”

.................................

Him

He had to take a dump first, so he’s only just now grabbing a different shirt. He figured he’d just yank his clean one from the clothesline.

“I can give you one of Shane’s ribbed tanks if you want,” he then hears Y/N offer.

He looks over to where she’s walking with two bundles of strips, one white, one yellow.

Then he looks down at his tank top. Is it that bad?

Whatever, he’s gonna put something on over it, anyway. “It’ll get just as mucked up as this one.” Speaking of, he grabs his shirt off the clothesline and starts to unbutton it.

This look passes over her face as she peeks at his tank top for a stretch longer than he would think was normal. “That was Merle’s,” she figures out.

How, he has no idea.

“You’ve always worn the ones with the thick straps that go up higher, your brother tended to wear the more wife-beater type—sorry! The kind with thinner straps. Ma hated the nickname for those types of tanks.” She follows this up with an apologetic mention of, “They called them ‘wife-beaters’ in The OC, so it’s on my mind,” as if whatever that was made sense to him.

“...That a movie?”

“A TV show. Oh, Glenn!” she suddenly calls over to him.

One of their little exchanges starts. Daryl forgets to put on his shirt because truth be told, it’s kinda easy to get kinda sucked in when those two start, even though those two can jabber on about literally damn nothing.

She stretches her arm carefully. “Your middle sister made you watch The OC with her, right?” she asks Glenn.

“She and I did, yeah. Appa, too, but it was more of a hate-watch thing. Kinda weird they only ever had one Asian on the show, dude, like, Orange County’s got a huge Asian population. We’re like 1 in 6.”

Y/N looks at Daryl in expectation of him being surprised, too, then back at Glenn. “For real?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s crazy.” She flops the bundle of fabric strips from one hand to another. Glenn starts to sword fight it or whatever with the other bundle of strips.

“Oh right, sorry—anyways,” Y/N starts up again, “Maggie and I got to talkin’ about the show over breakfast. We both decided it stopped existing five minutes before the third season ended but we both love that Kirsten and Sandy had another baby in the season four.”

“Oh, and the thing with Kirsten’s alcoholism? And the way Ryan—”

However Glenn was gonna end that sentence gets cut off by Rick as he and Shane stride over to the map laid out on the hood of Carol’s old Jeep station wagon.

“Good mornin’, guys. Let get going. We got a lot of ground to cover.”

Daryl jogs over with his shirt. It’s hot as hell outside, he’s already sweating like a pig in a bacon factory.

He ends up next to T-Dog, Rick in the middle, Andrea beside him, Y/N, then Shane.

“All right, everyone’s getting new search grids today,” Rick starts. “If she made it as far as the farmhouse Daryl found, she might’ve gone further East than we’ve been so far.”

As Daryl finally puts on his shirt, the teenage boy appears from out of nowhere. “I’d like to help,” he pipes in. “I know the area pretty well and stuff…”

“Hershel’s okay with this?” Rick asks.

“Yeah. Yeah, um—he said I should ask you.”

Unless he was just nervous, what that Jimmy kid just said was either a lie or a white lie. But, Rick doesn’t argue.

For a cop, that guy’s a little too trusting. “All right, then. Thanks.”

Daryl catches Y/N’s frown as she looks at him, then at Jimmy, then at Rick with her brows all low, unconvinced. It looks like she’s about to wave Jimmy closer when her brother interrupts.

“Nothing about what Daryl found screams Sophia to me.”

Not even looking at her directly, Daryl sees his friend’s muscles tense up, he can tell even from his spot across from her.

“Give this a measure of reverence, Shane,” she hushes. She’s trying not to react too strong.

“I’m bein’ upfront about the situation, Y/N,” Shane insists. Then to everyone there, he goes on to declare, “Daryl brought her back there just yesterday, she wasn’t convinced. Anybody could’ve been holed up in that farmhouse.”

The way his friend hunched when her brother mouthed off made a big part of him want to mouth off right back. But Andrea, classy as hell, steps in without missing a damn beat. “Anybody includes Sophia, right?”

She was so casual about it that it pretty much made it seem like she was brushing off a bug from her shirt. That chick is good, shit.

..................................

You

Andrea must’ve been such a good attorney, good Moses. You’ve never seen her feathers ruffled, like, ever, she lets it all just roll off. How is she so calm? Because while you were fixing to pounce, probably very obviously, she slid a hand around your waist and smoothly (so smoothly!) pointed out to Shane, “Anybody includes Sophia, right?”

It’s either the jitters from the caffeine or your damned hot head, because you’re just—you’re ready to start clawing at the man who’s overtaking your brother, because why would he have said that out loud? To all them? You’re fucking mortified.

That wasn’t Shane, it wasn’t Shane! Why is he being like this? And why can’t he button his stupid shirt all the way, huh?

Dale is coming out of the RV and gives you a look as if asking ‘what happened?’ so, you imagine taking the stupid tea kettle off the stupid burner to calm down.

No one else seems to be as agitated as you, not even Daryl, which is a huge relief.

Echoing Andrea, he’s as nonchalant as they come when he scratches his nose and reminds everyone, “Whoever slept in that cupboard was no bigger than yea-high.”

To which Andrea is quick to reinforce, “Good lead,” along with Rick when he agrees, “Maybe we’ll pick up her trail again.”

“No ‘maybe’ about it,” he grunts. “We’re gonna borrow a horse, head up to this ridge right here, take a bird’s eye view of the whole grid.” Except, Daryl hadn’t mentioned anything about a horse before, neither yesterday nor today.

First of all, he can ride a horse? Hot. Second…who did he ask for permission about borrowing one? He briefly catches your confused stare as he points to the spot on the map. “If she’s up there, we’ll spot her.”

T-Dog’s been nodding away at all of this, impressed. “Good idea,” he tells Daryl. But then his brows lift and his lips pout a little in the way that happens before he cracks a joke. Lo and behold: “Maybe you’ll see your chupacabra up there, too.”

The tension in your body from a few moments ago goes *poof* as you grin.

“Chupacabra?” Rick repeats, again sporting The Squint.

“You never heard this?” Dale, now next to Daryl and across from you, hoists the gun bag on the hood and begins handing them out while staring into space and narrating. “Our first night in camp, Daryl tells us that the whole things reminds him of a time he went squirrel hunting and he saw a chupacabra.”

Sweet little Jimmy finally relaxes and lets out a quiet giggle while Rick’s squint turns into a mild smirk.

Unfortunately for sweet little Jimmy, Daryl grates at him, “What are you brayin’ at, jackass?”

Okay, you’re sorry, but even though it wasn’t appropriate of him to react that way to an innocent giggle, that comeback was really quick and you’re snorting. Still, poor kid. You switch places with Andrea to be next to Jimmy and make a point to openly laugh at the conversation.

Rick is stuck in squint-mode, isn’t he? “You believe in a blood-sucking dog?”

And Daryl is quick on the draw. “You believe in dead people walkin’ around?”

Yet again, you’re somehow the only one who finds this funny (Glenn, dude. Where are you?).

Next thing you see is Jimmy casually reaching for a long gun.

Rick and you both stop his arm, and T-Dog cautions, “Hold on there, kid.”

“Hey, hey. You ever fire one before?” Rick challenges.

“If I’m going out, I want one.”

Daryl shoulders his crossbow and tosses out, “Yeah, and people in hell want slurpees.”

You’re the only one laughing, again. Rough crowd today.

“Jimmy, yesterday I got ‘quit cluckin’ like a mother hen’ from him, don’t even worry about it,” you share. “You mentioned you did skeet shooting with your dad before, right? So you’ve fired a shotgun, then?”

“Once or—I mean, yeah.”

That means he has no idea, never mind.

Shane speaks up and sounds much more like himself when he does. “Why don’t you come train tomorrow? If you’re serious, I’m a certified instructor.”

“Not to brag, but he’s a really good one, too,” you definitely brag.

Jimmy, overwhelmed at all the attention from grown-up strangers, nods slightly.

Andrea (so smoothyl!) tactfully and kindly solves the problem. “For now, he can come with us.”

“He’s yours to babysit then,” is Shane’s brusque surrender, and he waves Jimmy over with his hunting tomahawk.

Andrea, of course, doesn’t pay this any mind and goes to arm herself with her pistol. You try to follow suit by not staring daggers at your brother.

Instead, you finally let everyone know, “Glenn is going with him, y’all. I don’t know where he ran off to, but these are theirs.” You hold up the yellow fabric strips, then look at Jimmy. “Glenn’s smart and fast, you’ll be in great hands with him,” you say out loud, then whisper in his ear, “I know you asked your mama, but you gotta ask Mr. Greene, too, okay?” Back to a normal volume, you wish him and those around the station wagon, "Don’t die, don’t get bit.”

You’ve just started to jog off to join Daryl and start today’s search when Shane stops you and pulls you in for a hug. He kisses your head. “Don’t die, don’t get bit.”

Frank Darabont's The Walking Dead

Season 2 would be completely different. It was supposed to be more action packed with Rick killing a massive number of zombies at some point and would have more accurately adapted Miles Behind Us and Safe Behind Bars with the addition of a few original arcs in the early episodes like the conclusion of the Vatos storyline and T-Dogs infection being a major story point in the beginning. Frank wanted to get more shots in Atlanta so perhaps a couple episodes there, 3-4 episodes of the Barn, and Sophia (Madison Lintz) would live since her death was caused by Darabont's leaving along with Dale and Shane's. The Lori/Rick/Shane love triangle would become a major story arc but presumedly better written. Tyreese and Michonne would appear along with the Greene's and Shane's character would be explored throughout this season. Andrea would come under Shane's influence and Rick would also reach his first breaking point.

Season 3 would adapt the Governor arc differently then in the show taking up a full season instead of four and a half. The character would have been more like his comic counterpart and many of the shocking acts shown in the comic would seen or implied in the show.

As for the rest of the series, things get more complicated as even less is known about most of Frank Darabont's and the original cast's since the first season but there are a few major ones that I think are interesting or at least unique.

Darabont intended a eight season run with him planning to create a general outline for what he intended for the series with Robert Kirkman telling him the ending as well as future plotlines. However there were already signs that he didn't intend to entirely follow the comics, apparently intending to go on and off the comic at different points, going back and forth into canon comic material depending on Frank's own original ideas as he intended to add a couple new major plotpoints.

For starters, the Walker's wouldn't be just props, they'd be smart and fast and constantly evolving with the Walkers resorting to cannibalism when starving and eventually forming communities. Now I know that sounds stupid at first but there's no such thing as bad ideas just bad execution. The series would also have a episode per season that was a anthology, examining the lives of Walkers featured in the show before they got bit. Darabont would also push the envelope each season by adding new zombies that were particularly disturbing and grotesque to become iconic of the show. The show would have also had various celebrities cameoing as Walkers.

The Wildfire Virus, it's origin, a vaccine, a cure, and whether there is still structure of government would be a major plotpoint throughout the series, making the show a sci fi horror like the Andromeda Strain.

Dale was supposed to live until comic death and Andrea would have become the strong confident badass she is in the comic and marry Dale. She and Rick would not be a couple and Darabont implied he wanted Glenn to survive as well.

More famous actors would play iconic characters.

Merle would be a recurring threat throughout the series.

There would be homages and references to famous horror or zombie movies throughout the series.

Unleashing Your Inner Girlboss: Drawing Inspiration from Sophia Amoruso's Journey

In a world where conformity often seems like the norm, there's a fiery beacon of inspiration waiting for you on Netflix – the show "Girlboss." I must say, I watched this in the span of 2-3 days, it's definitely binge-worthy. It was also, clearly, so impactful that I decided to research the show and dig into its creation. I was pleased to find it is a true story & had to know more. Here, is what I've found.

This series, inspired by Sophia Amoruso's best-selling book, tells the story of a young woman's journey from thrifting vintage pieces on eBay to building an empire with her online company, Nasty Gal. With a dash of humor, a sprinkle of determination, and a whole lot of non-conformity, "Girlboss" celebrates the idea that dreams aren't meant to die in a 9-5 cubicle. Let's dive deep into Sophia Amoruso's life, her work, and the show's transformative impact.

The Birth of Nasty Gal

Sophia Amoruso's real-life story closely mirrors the narrative of the show. She did, in fact, start on eBay, selling vintage pieces she curated from thrift stores. The name "Nasty Gal" was originally taken from the 1975 album by funk singer Betty Davis. What began as a small venture rapidly blossomed into an iconic online fashion retailer. Through her unique eye for style and business acumen, Amoruso turned her passion into a thriving business that struck a chord with a generation seeking individuality.

A Friend by Her Side: The Real-Life Annie

One of the heartwarming aspects of the show "Girlboss" is the character of Annie, Sophia's best friend and confidante who experiences the journey with her. In real life, Sophia Amoruso indeed had a best friend named Annette, who shared in the highs and lows of building Nasty Gal. This genuine friendship lent authenticity to the show's portrayal of the camaraderie between the two characters. Having a friend by her side who understood the struggles and triumphs made the journey all the more memorable.

Non-Conformity in a 9-5 World

The show's rallying cry, "9-5 is where dreams go to die," encapsulates the spirit of rebellion against conventional paths. Amoruso's journey underscores the importance of embracing your passions and pursuing them relentlessly, even when it means stepping outside the boundaries of a traditional career. Her story proves that success doesn't always come in the form of a standard job – it can be built on the foundation of your true interests and abilities.

The "Shane" Factor: Real-life Parallels

One of the intriguing elements of the show is the character of Shane. While the series doesn't explicitly state that he represents Sophia's ex-husband Joel Jarek DeGraff, there are certain parallels. Shane's character, much like Joel, is a musician and has a somewhat unconventional lifestyle. It's possible that Shane is an amalgamation of different people from Sophia's life, including Joel, representing the complex dynamics of relationships that can shape one's journey.

Missteps on the Journey

However, as inspiring as the early success story may be, it's crucial to acknowledge the challenges Sophia Amoruso faced in managing Nasty Gal as it grew. Despite her initial meteoric rise, the company later faced financial difficulties and mismanagement. Reports emerged of internal issues and financial struggles that ultimately led to the decision to file for bankruptcy in 2016.

The Transformative Power of Resilience

This juncture in her journey could have marked the end, but Sophia Amoruso's resilience and determination came to the forefront. Even as she relinquished control of Nasty Gal, her story didn't conclude with failure. The lessons she learned from her mistakes and the triumphs she had experienced earlier propelled her forward.

A New Chapter

Amoruso's story didn't end with the bankruptcy of Nasty Gal. In fact, it marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The setback served as a catalyst for her reinvention. She continues to be an inspiring figure. Her net worth had grown substantially from her Nasty Gal days, and she had ventured into various projects beyond fashion, including podcasting and motivational speaking. She has consistently emphasized the importance of embracing failures and staying true to oneself in interviews.

She continued to share her journey through her book, "Nasty Galaxy," which delved into life lessons and personal insights. Additionally, her post-Nasty Gal ventures, allowed her to inspire others with her resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity.

Learning from Sophia's Journey

Sophia Amoruso's story and the show "Girlboss" offer several valuable lessons that viewers and readers can apply to their own lives:

Embrace Individuality: Don't be afraid to be unique and stand out from the crowd. Authenticity is a powerful tool that can open doors you never thought possible.

Pursue Your Passions: Discover what truly ignites your passion and pursue it with determination. Success is often the outcome of relentless effort in areas you love.

Overcome Setbacks: Both Amoruso's life and the show highlight that setbacks are a natural part of any journey. It's how you bounce back that defines your success.

Adapt and Innovate: The online landscape is ever-evolving. Being open to change, learning, and adapting to new trends can propel your endeavors forward.

Confidence is Key: Believe in yourself and your abilities. Confidence radiates outward, attracting opportunities and likeminded individuals.

Sophia Amoruso's journey is a reminder that challenges and failures are often an integral part of the path to success. Despite mismanaging Nasty Gal and facing bankruptcy, her story showcases the transformative power of resilience and the importance of adapting to change. Her ability to leverage her experiences, both positive and negative, for personal growth is a testament to the spirit of the Girlboss philosophy.

So on that note..

"Girlboss" on Netflix, inspired by Sophia Amoruso's life and journey, is a testament to the multifaceted nature of success and, is a reminder that the path to success need not be a one-size-fits-all formula. With a blend of resilience, non-conformity, and passion, you can carve your own trail to success, just like Sophia did. This story can be the spark that ignites your determination to chase your dreams, break free from the mundane, and unapologetically embrace your inner Girlboss.

"You don’t get taken seriously by asking someone to take you seriously. You’ve got to show up and own it." -Sophia Amoruso

While the show portrays the highs and lows with creative flair, it's essential to remember that the real Sophia Amoruso experienced her own share of struggles. Her ability to bounce back from mismanagement and bankruptcy showcases her indomitable spirit.

This story can be guiding light for those who have faced setbacks or are navigating their own unique journeys. Success is not always a linear path; it's shaped by our responses to challenges and our determination to learn and grow. So, let this story inspire you to embrace failures, and turn them into stepping stones. As Sophia herself once said, "You can have a lot of great ideas, but implementation is key."

20 QUESTIONS FOR MULTI-MUSE BLOGS! send me a number and I’ll answer:

1. which muse is the easiest to write?

That is a tie between Carol and Rick.

2. which muse is most likely to go to jail?

Andrea. And that is because she's a civil rights attorney and does go to protests that can sometimes turn ugly.

3. which muse would be the best parent?

That would also be a tie between Carol and Rick.

4. which muse is, physically, the strongest?

Shane Walsh.

6. what are your favorite icons for each muse?

8. which muse would try to befriend the others?

Carol. She's done that and more in canon.

10. which muse would be the MOM friend? DAD friend?

MOM friend would be Beth. DAD friend would be Shane.

11. which muses are cat people? which are dog people?

Cat people - Andrea, Charley, Daryl, and Sophia. Dog people - Beth, Carol, Charley, Daryl, Shane, Rick, and Sophia.

13. which two muses would get along the best if they met?

Probably Beth and Sophia.

15. which muse would win in a fistfight against the others?

Shane Walsh.

17. which muse would spend a night in a haunted place for $20?

Daryl. He believes one hundred percent in the supernatural, but twenty bucks is twenty bucks.

18. which two muses would immediately fight each other if they met?

Daryl and Shane. I mean, they didn't get along too well in canon. And Shane was a bit jealous of Daryl regarding his friendship with Rick.

19. which muse would you not let into your house, under any circumstance?

All of them would be welcome honestly.

20. which muse would investigate the scary noises? which one would hide?

Daryl would investigate the scary noises along with Shane and Rick. Sophia and Beth would hide. The others would wait for Daryl, Rick, and Shane to come back and tell them what was happening.

the first truly iconic scene of TWD for me is midway through season 2 when the group finds out about the walkers in the barn. and Shane yells at everybody and opens the barn and opens fire and at the very end Sophia just comes walking out. I remember the first time I ever saw that episode and I've seen it like 6x probably but i have chills all over my body. it's so easy to remember the hype while it was airing

RECENT TWD REQUESTS

Hey guys, I’m back from my trip! These are the requests I received whilst I was away over the weekend. Love them all and will start posting them soon! If yours isn’t here, just message me. Thanks for requesting and remember requests are always open! If you want tagged in any of these, comment below.

MASTERLIST -- REQUESTING INFO

---

Daryl is super awkward and shy but he loves his wife, although only the original group knows they are together. So when a women from Woodbury hits on him the reader gets jealous and walks away angry but Daryl finally says their relationship to everyone and goes to find his wife. - Fluff season 4 - Requested by Anon

Can you do something with the reader and Daryl, maybe jealousy with Leah. If you haven't seen that far, Carol is fine too. Just the reader is insecure because she's pregnant and needs reassuring by Daryl and gets upset by him spending time with either Leah or Carol. He doesn't love them or cheats, he's just spending time - Requested by Anon

Hello love, TWD request for you! Ricks always been protective & when the group gets to Alexandria everyone assumes you are Rick and married.

🤍✨hi ellie!! this is a request but first i just wanted to say that your writing is PHENOMENAL. i loveee your fics so much!! i finally managed to reset my password and get into this acc so i could follow u lol 😭 anyways! can u pls write a nick clark x reader (like a oneshot) of him being protective over the reader and confessing? and they’re childhood friends.. maybe like set during s1-2? Thanks so much!! i hope u enjoyed ur weekend trip, have a nice day <3 - requested by @spliffycat

Hello love, TWD request for you! Ricks always been protective & when the group gets to Alexandria everyone assumes you are Rick and married. 🤍✨ - Requested by Anon

Hey ellie, I have had a really bad few weeks struggling with my mental health and was wondering if I could request a Daryl hurt/comfort fic? Maybe the reader sh's or has scars and has been struggling mentally. Daryl finds them and comforts them? Ofc you don't need to do this if you're not comfortable ♡ xxx - Requested by @writing-space

Can you do a Carl one where she gets lost with Sophia but they end up separated and Carl finds her after they find Sophia in the barn and they bond over the years. Maybe a little long so we can get a little further in there love story along the way like in Alexandria and the Prison. - Requested by Anon

Reader is Shane’s wife although their love for one another is no longer there the reader is still big on loyalty so when Shane cheats it breaks her. So Daryl and/or Rick are there to comfort her. - Requested by Anon

hello icon i’m back. so a queen loved the fluff. but she’s feeling a little angsty. let’s have nick clark break my heart by cheating on me. idk with like ofelia. and we’re on the boat and we just like can’t escape each other. ending is ur choice 🥳. so anyway. I. LOVE. UR. WORK. - Requested by @heyitsreece44

‘He needs to know your mine’ protective Rick (TWD) please 🥰 - Requested by Anon

Hi Ellie 🤍✨ I have a Rick Grimes request. Rick is secretly in love with the reader before the apocalypse and when he finds out Lori is cheating he finally admits his feelings for the reader. Thank you love - requested by Anon

Hey babes ✨ a little Rick Grimes request (imagine or headcannon) based on the song All for Us by zendaya and labrinth. You’re such a good writing and I’m always excited to see you next walking dead post! - Requested by Anon

Alright, so over quarantine I’ve been really bored so I decided to rewatch the walking dead again. As I was watching it I couldn’t help but wonder how many walkers and people were killed, so I counted them. I’m going to upload the number here because why not.

I also rated my top five favourite characters from each season, counted the number of main character intros, counted the number of main character deaths (and how it happened), and the first and last words of every character I could.

Just as a disclaimer this won’t be 100% accurate since a lot of kills either happen off screen or I don’t pay enough attention which is kinda obvious on herschels walker kill count in season 2, and this is just for fun. If I make a mistake feel free to tell me and I’ll change it, especially on characters last and first words.

Season 1

Character Introductions:

Rick grimes ep. 1

Shane Walsh ep.1

Morgan Jones ep.1

Duane Jones ep.1

Dale Hovac ep.1

Amy Harrison ep.1

Lori Girmes ep.1

Carl Grimes ep.1

Glenn Rhee ep.1

Jim ? ep.2

Morales + Family ep.2

Theodore ‘T-Dog’ Douglas ep.2

Andrea Harrison ep.2

Jacqui ? ep.2

Merle Dixon ep.2

Carol Peletier ep.3

Sophia Peletier ep.3

Ed Peletier ep.3

Daryl Dixon ep.3

‘G’ (I cant remember his actual name) ep.3

Edwin Jenner ep.5

Top characters - in my opinion :) -

1. Daryl Dixon

2. Rick Grimes

3. T-dog

4. Glenn Rhee

5: Shane (sadly)

On to the kills!

(btw if someone puts someone down before they reanimate I count that as a kill)

Rick: 43 walkers

Shane: 2 humans + 6 walkers with a total of 8 kills

That officer that rick doesn’t like: 1 human

Morgan: 3 walkers

T-dog: 4 walkers

Morales: 4 walkers

Merle: 7 walkers (by ear) + 2 walkers off screen

Glenn: 4 walkers

Daryl: 9 walkers

Dale: 2 walkers

Jim: 2 walkers

Carol: 1 walker

Andrea: 1 walker

Total walker kills: 88

Total people kills: 3

Total kills overall: 91

Main character deaths:

Amy: Bitten in the throat then put down by Andrea ep.4-Vatos

Ed: Bitten then put down by carol ep.4-Vatos

Jim: Bitten and left to turn ep.5-Wildfire

Jenner+Jacqui: Blew up in CDC ep.6-TS-19

Saddest death: Amy. Andreas reaction to this is honestly one of the saddest moments in the show. As much as I hate Andrea in the rest of the show, this was probably her best character and acting moment.

Happiest death: Ed. I hate this man with a passion. How dare you hurt our carol.

Best death: Jenner. I think the CDC blowing up was a great way to end the first season of the show and his death was almost beautiful in a way since he wanted to be with his wife.

Worst death: Jacqui. I have no idea why but I love her and was extremely upset when she died.

Top 15 killers so far

1. Rick: 43 walkers. 0 humans. 43 total. Currently alive

2. Daryl: 9 walkers. 0 humans. 9 total. Currently alive

2. Merle: 9 walkers. 0 humans. 9 total. Currently unknown

3. Shane: 6 walkers. 2 humans. 8 total. Currently alive

4. T-dog: 4 walkers. 0 humans. 4 total. Currently alive

4. Morales: 4 walkers. 0 humans. 4 total. Currently alive

5. Morgan: 3 walkers. 0 humans. 3 total. Currently unknown

6. Dale: 2 walkers. 0 humans. 2 total. Currently alive

6. Jim: 2 walkers. 0 humans. 2 total. Presumed dead-S.1 Ep. 5

7. Carol: 1 walker. 0 humans. 1 total. Currently alive

7. Andrea: 1 walker. 0 humans. 1 total. Currently alive

7. That random officer again: 0 walkers. 1 human. 1 total. Dead-before show

First (and last) words

Rick: 1st (Little girl?) last (?)

Shane: 1st (That’s a joke?) last (?)

Duane: 1st (Daddy, Daddy look!) last (Daddy?)

Morgan: 1st (He say something?) last (?)

Amy: 1st (Yes! Hello?) last (We’re out of toilet paper!)

Dale: 1st (try to reach him again) last (?)

Lori: 1st (There are others. It’s not just us) last (?)

Carl: 1st (Mom?) last (?)

Glenn: 1st (Hey you, Dumbass. Yeah you in the tank. Cozy in there?) iconic last (?)

Andrea: 1st (Son of a bitch I should kill you) last (?)

Morales: 1st (Just chill out Andrea. Back off!) last (?)

Jacqui: 1st (Come on ease up) last (Now just go)

T-dog: 1st (every geek for miles just heard you popping of rounds) last (?)

Merle: 1st (You otta be more polite to a man with a gun) words to live by last (?)

Ed: 1st (it’s cold, man) last (what’d I say!)

Carol: 1st (we’re fine thank you) last (?)

Jim: 1st (they’re running out of food in the city that’s what) last (I want to be with my family)

Daryl: 1st (son of a bitch, that’s my deer) last (?) this man will never die

‘G’: 1st (you alright little man) last (appreciated)

Jenner: 1st (Jenner here) last (they got out)

Sophia: 1st (is that what happened to Jim) last (?)

Annnnd we’re done with season 1. Again please tell me if I made mistakes on names, spellings or first and last words and I’ll change them 😁. If you don’t think I’ve counted the kills right, just remember that a lot of kills in the series are by guns that don’t always hit their target. That means if there’s lots of gunfire might not get an entirely accurate number (or even possible with Herschels never ending amount of shotgun ammo going off throughout the entire last episode of season 2, leading to some wild numbers) so please don’t be angry with me.

I’ll upload season 2 later tonight I think, and seasons 3-6 tomorrow. After that I won’t upload theses as often since I don’t have the DVDs for them and have to get them illegally in a different way.

Thanks for reading this by the way. It took ages for me to do this. 🥺

Femme birds, butch owls, and lesbian frogs: Meet the queer animals of Instagram

In 2008, a gay penguin couple went viral for the best of reasons: They stole an egg from a straight couple in order to become parents, then replaced the missing egg with a rock. Genius.

It's rare to see queerness represented in the animal world — if you can even call it queerness, given that these are, in fact, animals who don't have human sexualities. Still, that hasn't stopped the LGBTQ community from anthropomorphizing them wherever they can.

To anthropomorphize is to be human. Who doesn't want to see a lesbian earth mother frog dispensing self-care advice? Or a high femme owl warding off a heteronormative holiday with her deadly, femme fatale stare? Tell me the last time you saw a masculine-of-center bird represented in media. How many serial monogamist flamingos do you know in your personal life?

▼ 2019 people! We need to take it easy!!!! As in just let it come. Take it with the utmost gentleness. Take my pose and repeat after me: “I am ready for any challenge and I will keep my peace and relax my body when needed. I ROCK even when I sit still! 🙏🏾 “ And then you can say HELL YEAH or Namaste or amen or whatever but SAY IT!!!! Ps don’t forget that it is EXTREMELY important to scream once in a while. LET IT OUT!!! But ALWAYS go back to this relaxed pose I am showing you here. You can even print it out and hang me on your wall! Try it! You will not regret it. Yours truly.

These moments are few. But thanks to Instagram, "queer" and queer-adjacent animal representation is starting to spike.

SEE ALSO: Zodiac shaming is a real thing. Don't do it.

Welcome to 2019, where "queer" animals are able to build large Instagram followings. To be clear: None of the queer-animal-centered Instagram accounts claim to fully know the sexuality of the animals they depict. The "lesbian warthog" from Instagram account @lesbian_animals could very well be a pansexual warthog. Or maybe she just experimented with female warthogs in college after seeing a particularly dapper drag king warthog at the local warthog cabaret.

Or maybe she's just a warthog and therefore has no idea what any of these humans posting about her are talking about.

So while queer Instagram animals might not have a sexuality in the same way humans have a sexuality, there's something about them visually that feels so deeply, constitutionally queer. Queer people can see themselves in them.

As strange as that is, it matters.

The inherent queerness of birds

Take a look at @femmebirds, an Instagram account dedicated to the bird femme community. Created by Meaghan O'Malley of Butches and Babies and Katie Horowitz, the account celebrates the femmeness at the heart of bird identity:

"Birds just don't give a fuck, which I think is inherently femme," O'Malley told Mashable in a phone interview. "They're also very sensitive and hollow-boned."

O'Malley started the account after discovering @butchbirds on Instagram, an account dedicated to the severely underrepresented butch bird community. Both accounts share photos of birds that are aesthetically queer.

Worship the raw masc power of Bryce, a newly appointed young butch owl. Bryce is the Shane of the queer owl community. He fucks.

Next, open your heart to these queer pastel parrotlets processing critical attachment theory:

View this post on Instagram

A good wingfemme knows when to pull you into her fluffy, feathery bosom to tell you how magical and important you are when things are feeling rough. A good wingfemme also probably takes advantage of the convenient proximity of your ear to her beak and whispers a reminder to read that book about attachment she mentioned to you a year ago. AHEM.⁣ ⁣ #wingfemmewednesday [femme birds: pastel parrotlets] #femmebirds | photo credit: @freyaeverafter_ |

A post shared by Femme Birds (@femmebirds) on Feb 6, 2019 at 5:19am PST

But these accounts do more than just share photos of animals. Both @femmebirds and @butchbirds draw from queer tropes to generate meaningful conversation.

For O'Malley, @femmebirds allows her to discuss queerness in a way that feels lighthearted and slightly removed. It can be challenging and painful to discuss LGBTQ issues in more traditional contexts. Who really wants to explore the nuances of gender performance in a Twitter thread?

When queer identity is re-imagined in bird form, the conversation feels lighter, more manageable. It's easier to discuss femme visibility among parrots (who are inherently absurd) than among humans:

"I am not really an animal person, but I love birds and their anthropomorphic personalities ... and I think it's a little bit easier with animals to connect with what you're feeling and experiencing," O'Malley said. "Femme birds are specifically adaptable in that way. The vast majority of birds we post are assigned male at birth. Male birds tend to be the most femme in nature. Some people have been curious about why we use male birds. But that has everything to do with our perception of femme identity."

O'Malley is able to facilitate a conversation about the meaning of femme identity — who it belongs to, and why we associate it with just one sex — without it becoming a contentious internet forum.

These are birds, for God's sake.

Language is key to understanding these accounts. @Femmebirds routinely repurposes vocabulary from queer culture, such as bottoming or lesbian processing, to discuss bird behavior. In doing so, O'Malley is able to have a conversation about femme visibility and even poke fun at some of the more rigid conventions through a careful curation of words.

This femmebird walks her runway like a goddamn professional: She's "steadfastly true to herself, her values, and her fabulous shoulder-padded/glittery pantsuited/silky bowtied aesthetic."⁣

View this post on Instagram

This week's Femmebird Icon is none other than Dorothy Zbornack, the tallest, fiercest, sharpest-tongued Golden Girl. Dorothy was known for her [...occasionally problematic...] ability to quickly read the room, and you, for filth. When forced to explain or justify her gender and/or sexuality, she remained steadfastly true to herself, her values, and her fabulous shoulder-padded/glittery pantsuited/silky bowtied aesthetic. ⁣ ⁣ While not the tallest bird of prey, the secretarybird reminds us so much of Dorothy that we felt this comparison needed to happen. Like Dorothy and her suffer no fools approach to Stan's hijinks/Blanche’s delusions/Rose’s non sequiturs/Sophia’s trickery, secretarybirds quietly and carefully stalk their prey and then skillfully and aggressively, well, uh, stomp them to death. Thank you for being a friendbird, Dorothy.⁣ ⁣ NB: These pairings are our best bird testaments to these icons and their energy/aesthetics. These femmebird icons are people who have contributed to the expression and identity of femme, in many cases to our intersecting movements, and generally to our conceptions and expressions of justice and/or style. Finally, these Femmebird Icons include folx who are real and fictional AND folx of all gender identities and expressions who may or may not identify as femme, but who have inspired us nonetheless.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ [femme bird: secretarybird] #femmebirds #femmebirdicons

Let's be clear: @femmebirds and @butchbirds are, at their hearts, extremely funny accounts. Yes, they inspire thoughtful comment threads about gender performance and identity. They're also weird as hell, in wonderful, tender ways that remind me of the pre-bad internet era.

Forget everything you learned about Judith Butler and Michel Foucault and just soak up the comedy of this sex talk between parakeet lesbians.

I will always hate birds. But I am deeply thankful for Instagram's queer bird community for giving this highly marginalized group some representation in media.

Lesbian guinea pigs, gay lions, and closeted cats

There are plenty of animals in the kingdom who possess big dyke energy.

Instagram account @lesbian_animals, which has been around since 2016, identifies the non-avian queer members of the animal kingdom. They're less visible than out and proud pigeons. But that doesn't mean they're not worth paying attention to.

Consider, for example, the queer guinea pig community. Without this account, we wouldn't even know they existed.

Possums really broke into the viral spotlight last year. But — with all those memes and all those tweets — did you ever once hear about the vibrant LGBTQ possum scene?

Probably not. Shout out to @lesbian_animals for bringing this marginalized demographic to the forefront.

When was the last time you learned about queer chosen families in the animal world? Look at how these queer koalas have forged community in spite of oppression:

A post shared by Lesbian ▼ Animals (@lesbian_animals) on Mar 30, 2017 at 6:57am PDT

Accounts like @lesbian_animals are more than just collections of queer koala friends. They meet a psychological need, highlighting "queerness" in the world around us, even if that queerness is absurdist projection.

Just like everyone else, queer people want to see themselves on television, in movies, in government, and sometimes even boning in the wild.

So forgive me if I take deep satisfaction in this lesbian otter tape dispenser. As a queer person, I am sick and tired of seeing only cis heteronormative seal tape dispensers.

Finally, I feel seen: by animals, and by the people creating these accounts.

It's more than just queer animal tape dispenser representation

For all the joy it brings me to see a genderqueer rockabilly owl, queer animal representation isn't ultimately about the animals. It's more than that. As O'Malley describes it, it's about the people behind the accounts and the people engaging with these accounts connecting with each other.

When you like a photo of two lesbian dogs in matching knit hats, you're not identifying with the dogs. You're sharing a moment with the account's creator, who knows what knit hats signify in the lesbian community and can laugh about it with you.

As much as you think you're connecting with animals, you're actually connecting with people.

Here's how O'Malley describes the human affect behind her femme bird account:

"Femme identity has always been something I tentatively danced around. I didn’t fully embrace it until about a decade ago. It's been challenging because there's so much gatekeeping around it. I was really unsure if I would be able to create femme-centric content ... [but] posts that tend to resonate the most are dramatized versions of my own experience. Posts that say: 'I am femme but I don't feel like I'm good at it' tend to get the most affirming feedback. It makes me feel like less of an outsider femme. I have not been able to connect to other femmes as a human but I have through my bird language."

Let me use my bird language to connect to the kind readers who've made it to the end of this story.

We see you all: the masc owls, the drag queen parrots, and even the heteroflexible parakeets. These Instagram skies are open. There's a home for you all, my fellow queer birds, even if it's just on a platform.
