[PT: Suspected NPD / Midnight NPD. End PT]

SUSPECTED NPD / MIDNIGHT NPD

someone who either suspects, has traits of, or otherwise cannot be 100% sure they have NPD, but still find it important enough to mention as they relate to experiences and need to note how they interact with others.

examples may include people who :

aren't able to properly self-diagnose (ex. memory issues, focus issues, not enough resources) and choose to say they're suspected instead

are in the process of getting diagnosed or on a waiting list

are an alter who has npd traits while the rest of the system doesn't have these traits

are unsure whether their symptoms are pervasive/affect their day-to-day enough to be a personality disorder

tl;dr : a person with suspected npd, npd traits, etc.

Tulip DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder) flag ✨

PT: Tulip DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder) flag [Sparkle emoji]

[ID: two almost identical flags, the one on the right having a divided sun symbol representing the dependent personality disorder. The colors of the horizontal stripes are pastel/desaturated, and are in the following order, top to bottom: purple, peach pink, orange, yellow, and green /End ID]

DPD Symbol by @/revenant-coining, and also credits to @/dependencypersonality for the idea of the tulip being representative of DPD, very thoughtful! Those two together made something click in my brain.

I wanted to make my own take on the DPD flag, seeing as how much it affects my life. I wanted it to be full of meaning and hope for a better future while acknowledging it isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Stripe Meanings:

Purple: Darkness when without the guidance of others, being lost in the dark.

Peach pink: Depended person, being dependant on them. (Can also represent the love one feels for them, though not necessarily)

Orange: Anxiety, Feeling anxious and stressed when forced to make own decisions

Yellow: Hope for a better tomorrow, new beginnings (rising sun rays)

Green: Growth, constantly trying to be more independent and growing as a person. (Recovery)

As you can see, the majority of colors (3 out of 5) are warm, and the orange is centered. This is because orange is associated with anxiety and cluster C pds are the "anxious" ones.

The colors are in negativity to positivity in meaning, atleast to me. Going from feeling lost and depending on someone, to anxiety but being a bit more independent, having hope, and finally being in recovery and healing,

I chose to use the theme of sunrise colored tulips for two reasons: firstly, the DPD symbol is a setting/rising sun. Secondly, tulips and flowers in general are seen as a "needy" because of how fragile and sensitive to various factors they are, so they depend on their gardeners to stay alive and healthy

I used common tulips colors, except white and the darkest purples to keep some harmony in the color pallette and to maintain the sunrise/sunset theme.

PD-TS with BPD Traits

Hey, uh, I made a flag for people who have PD-TS with BPD traits. This flag is inclusive of informed self-diagnosis but not of "transBPD" in the context of transID communities.

[Image ID: A flag with seven straight horizontal lines of roughly equal width. The center stripe is medium grey, and the two stripes outside of it are white. The top two stripes are a light blue/purple and a brighter blue, with the lighter stripe closest to the center. The bottom two stripes are a light grey-pink and a brighter pinkish red, with the lighter stripe closest to the center.]

We (as a collective) tend to struggle with our identity because *vague gesture to the system with a PD thing*

But I think we may have a preference for women? We still have a lot of gay and transmasc alters, but right now I'm a lesbian ig?

Maybe we'll make some wlw themed flags. We shall see.

[stupendousfoxthing]

this hybe ador drama as made me rethink a lot hybe’s relationship with their artists - namely bts but more specifically tae. it’s been a lot of years of questioning why he’s treated a little differently or put in situations we cannot understand but i now realize all these ceos aren’t sincere and they’ll turn against anyone for their own business interests. bang pd successfully rallied multiple fandoms against mhj - she is not innocent ofc! - who knows what mediaplay he’s invested in to rally tae’s own fandom against. there was a time i thought bts could separate a little from hybe now im not so sure.

This whole thing is so crazy, but MHJ is a walking red flag and has been for a long time. I was side-eyeing since the company brought her on board with all of her prior controversies and baggage. Sorry, but this woman has been very open about her obsession with the theme of child sexual exploitation and it's not one or two things it's a pattern that has been there her entire career.

(This thread leaves a lot out but I just saw it come across my timeline.) It's weird seeing so many people lowkey defend her but I wouldn't be surprised if people never really looked into her history. I know this seems to be unrelated to those issues, but still the red flags have been there. I'm no fan of Bang Si-hyuk, and oh my god he is NOT a good judge of character. He not only ignored all of this but welcomed and enabled her by giving her everything she wanted. I'm worried there are a lot more ticking time bombs in this organization. Right now I just want her gone as quickly and quietly as possible, and the idols involved kept safe. I hope no one else gets dragged into this. There's been enough mess these last few months.

Things Confirmed In Steven Universe: The Movie

New Gems: Spinel, unnamed uncorrupted gems

New Fusions: Steg, Alexandrite (new form) Opal (new form)

New Objects: Giant Injector Drill, Bio Poison, Rejuvinators 

New Locations: Pinks Garden

New Songs: https://su-nlt.tumblr.com/post/187175460886/su-movie-soundtrack-list-revealed

Also this turned out to be like 4 pages long, so I inserted a read more link for everyone's convenience. Click to read more!

The opening of the movie mimics that of a classic Disney movie

It has been two years since the events of Change Your Mind, and, in accordance with his mental state, Steven has aged to look like a 16 year-old, as well as received a new outfit

Aside from the opening flashback, Jasper does not appear in the movie. Most sightings have just been of other Jaspers

This is the first movie in the series

The movie contains a total of 38 songs

WD wrote a book about Stevens adventure

PDs legs are back on Homeworld

Other Heaven and Earth Beetle gems can be seen on the beach planet

The Zircons are alive and free (they can be seen in a crowd shot on a green planet)

Spinel can been seen in one of the locations during Stevens broadcast

The Diamonds have allotted airtime 

The Diamonds have disbanded their armies, liberated their colonies, refrained from shattering, and have practices better manners. Blue has also stopped using her crying power

The Diamonds have gotten better at showing affection 

While recognizing Steven as his own person, the Diamonds still fawn over him like Pink

A warp from Earth to Homeworld has been established

Stevens new house has several new features, including

-a warp pad within a greenhouse and Gem computer

-Flags representing Earth and Homeworld

-An actual second floor (Stevens room used to just be a loft)

-a balcony attached to stevens bedroom

- A Lonely Blade poster, The Painting of Garnet and Steven, the MoonGoddess statue, the Space Train to the Cosmos CD, the KEEP box from Greg’s storage, a photo of the main CGs, the picture of Greg and Rose, a new game system, a glass of Pine Needle tea, a crystal gem logo, another picture of Connie, the Stephen mug, Steven’s old red shirt, and a few photos of the Temple have all been added to Stevens room

-The picture of Rose was moved from on top of the door to the side of the stairs

-A dining room table

-Centipeedle’s drawing hangs on Stevens fridge 

- Roses broken sword is on display

-More planets and pictures

Steven uses his bubble to go down stairs

Connie and Steven are now in a relationship

Connie is interested in a space-related career

Cat Steven is now fully grown

Pearl is learning how to play the bass guitar

The chest in Lion’s mane is open

Lars now cooks for others

Lars hair has grown a bit

The Off-Colors are now on Earth

There's a bubble with a slice of cake in the temple

Bubbles can preserve food

In place of the barn, a community known as “Little Homeworld” has been made, as a place for the uncorrupted gems to live

Little Homeworld is 83% complete

Warp pads can be moved around

Amethyst and Steven have made up a handshake

Steven is no longer the shortest in the main squad

This is our first time seeing ‘original’ Amethyst

Amethyst didn't have a Diamond insignia when she first emerged 

Amethysts size was not the only thing different about her when she first emerged. He limbs where segmented, her hair short, her outfit simplistic, and her intellect stunted

Amethyst considers the Uncorrupted gems and New Crystal Gems part of her family

Steven now runs in front of the group

A small house has been added to the lighthouse

Spinel (Pronounce SPIN-el) are made to be entertainers (ie. Best Friends)

Spinel’s design and animation appear to be inspired by a style over animation known as Rubberhose (popular in the 1920s-1940s) She also appears to inspired particularly by the characters of Mickey Mouse (original Spinel) and Oswald the Rabbit (Evil Spinel) judging by her buns/pigtails (How they are both always showing no matter the angle)

Spinel and Pearl know each other

Garnet's Gauntlets have her wedding rings on them

Spinels theme is electro-swing

Spinels can store objects in their gems

Spinels power is enhanced shape-shifting (which include the power to turn into a spinning top and turning her hands into giant fists)

The black lines on Spinels face resemble running mascara 

Giant injectors exist, have Heart-Shaped gems at the top of them, and can fly

There hasn't been much combat since the events of CYM

Spinels gem cut is perfect

Spinels come in other colors

Spinel can move her eyes in different directions

Spinels squeak when they move

Items in gems gems stay with them after rejuvenation

In terms of ‘threat to Steven’ Lapis is still considered on the fence

Peridot doesn't know what rejuvenators are, implying that they don't exist/ aren't used in Era 2+ 

Blue Garnet’s outfit in the “Isn't it Love?” song sequence implies Sapphire is barefoot under her dress

Potent Biochemicals exist, which destroy organic life and organic materials, but does not affect gems

Rejuvenators , which are shaped like synths, can poof and ‘reset’ a gems memory, and were used to ‘correct’ gems how stepped out of line. However, the process can be somewhat easily reversed by unlocking a gems memory.

Judging by the title of her song (system/BOOT.pearl_final(3).Info ) this is the third time Pearl has been rebooted

Pearls are given a customization option whenever they first form, any are loyal to whoever activates the menu

The memories of Fusions are also reset when their components are reset

While Steven organic half is unaffected by the Rejuvenator, his gem was reset, causing his powers to be reset

The ability to access Lion's mane is a power exclusive to Steven, and is considered to be his easiest power

Spinel has abandonment issues

The Heaven and Earth Beetles engage in afternoon constitutionals  

Until she learns ‘the truth’, every one of original Garnet’s lines in the movie is a question

The Uncorrupted gems wander around Beach City

Spinel does eat

Vidalia has made more Amethyst painting

Ronaldo's phone PIN is 989675979

The moment where Amethyst and Steven cheat as speed ball is a reference to the episode ‘Arcade Mania’

The moment where Steven pulls Amethyst out her hole in the Alpha Kindergarten is a reference the episode ‘On The Run’, where Pearl pulls Amethyst out of the Hole

Giant injectors are considered unstable, and are controlled through sound

The Warehouse is both a concert venue and safe house 

Greg stores Sadie Killer shirts in his Storage Unit

Sadie Killer and the Suspect have gotten popular

Mike Krol (who guest starred in the episode ‘Last One Out of Beach City’) provided the bass, guitar, and drums for the song ‘Disobedient’ 

The majority of Uncorrupted gems are Quartzes

Amethyst considered Rose the love of Pearls life

Greg being uncomfortable about Amethyst shapeshifting into Rose is a reference to the episode ‘Maximum Capacity’ 

The moment where Garnet see ‘Rose’ at the concert is a reference to the episode ‘The Answer’ 

Pearl was metaphorically and literally freed when Rose left (Cant follow orders when the person who gives you them are gone)

Steven and Greg can fuse to form Steg

Stegs weapons include Stevens Shield, a dual Guitar, and his powers include levitation and the power to create shock waves

Pink had a garden on an asteroid, where she would play with Spinel 

Pink used to be lonely on Homeworld

Earth was given to Pink by Yellow and Blue, but not White

Spinel used to entertain Pink as her ‘best friend’, but, without Spinel noticing, Pink grew bored with Spinel, and Pink eventually abandoned her in her Garden for 6,000 years

Spinel was left next to a patch of ‘Forget-Me-Nots’, a type of blue, white, and yellow flower

Other gem types can turn their gems

Steven is no longer surprised by Pinks actions

Gems can make their new forms somewhat taller or shorter

The shot of Connie sliding into Stevens house on Lion is a reference to the motorcycle slide from the movie ‘Akira’

Greg doesn't always wash his hands after using the bathroom 

The Pizza Car has been dissolved 

Alexandrite, Opal, a Bismuth all have new forms

This is the first time dripping blood has been shown in the show

The Rejuvenator has been busted

Gems can make physical objects part of their gem forms (ie. Garnets wedding rings)

The citizens of Beach City and the uncorrupted gems get along well

Connie's Sword can cut through metal

Steven believes he has changed in the last few years

Steven can summon multiple shields, change the shape of his bubble, use his bubble to create shock waves,form tiny bubbles around his fists, and fully levitate 

Steve can make blood disappear with his healing powers

The gem at the top of injectors are their power source

Steven realizes that no matter what, his work will never be finished

Steven can regrow plants with his healing powers

Garnet says staying hydrated is important while smooching

Spinel is trying again at friendship, but believes she's already messed up too badly with Steven and the gang 

The Diamonds were willing to move to Earth to spend more time with Steven

The Diamonds consider Homeworld boring without Steven

Yellow finds Spinel funny

The reprise of ‘Come Live With Us’ is a combination of the songs ‘Come Live With Us’ and ‘Found’

The Diamonds consider Earth disgusting

The shot of the Diamonds extending their hands to Spinel is a callback to the episode ‘Your Mother and Mine’ (when the Diamonds launched their final attack on Earth)

Spinel now lives with the Diamonds in place of Pink/Steven

The song ‘Finale’ is a reprise of the songs ‘Happily Ever After’ and ‘Change’

Beach City has been rebuilt since the events of the movie, but the cliff has a few new dents in it, and their are now large ravines under the city

Steven no longer has his pink jacket (or at least, he’ll have to get a new one)

Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Greg,and Connie put on a …...Broadway Musical? (Still not entirely sure if that canonical)

[twdmusicboxmystery]

10x03: Ghosts - Details

Let’s talk details today. I realized (because several people told me) that I didn't talk about the Carol/Daryl kitchen scene yesterday. I totally meant to talk about it. My post yesterday had so much in it, I didn't realize that I left it out. I'll get to that in this post.

***As always, spoilers abound below for 10x03: Ghosts. Don’t read until you’ve watched!***

Opening Sequence:

I talked about the numbers at the beginning. I won’t go into details about the numbers leading up to 44. I'm sure they probably have significance, but I think I already pointed out the things that are most relevant to TD.

I forgot to mention something yesterday about the 49. @wdway​ had the insight that, in terms of history, Alaska was the 49th state to enter the United States union. That may seem random to you, but those of us who have studied the symbolism for a long time are familiar with this. Why? Because we saw so much Alaska symbolism in S6 around the wolves. Remember we saw the Alaska license plate in 5x16. 

The Alaska license plate has a flag with stars on it reflect the Sirius symbolism. So, the wolves (possibly the Whisperers), and Alaska are very entangled with Beth symbolism. The 49th hour could also represent Alaska and the wolves, which is just another way to point to Beth's return.

It's also important to note that we see a lot of binoculars in this episode. The characters look at walkers coming toward them from far off, so the binoculars theme is strong.

At the group meeting, Lydia says she doesn't believe Alpha is sending the walkers. We don't know who is if she isn't, but I think Eugene gives the explanation we’re supposed to accept. He believes the satellite falling from the sky and subsequent fire is bringing in walkers from all directions. Iet was bad luck that the satellite touched down near TF's communities, and they might be dealing with a lot of walkers for a while. We also see that the highwaymen want revenge on Alpha for killing two of theirs on the pikes. I think they’re probably setting up something there.

Rule of Threes:

A few examples I didn’t mention yesterday. After the town meeting, they divide into three groups. Father Gabriel will lead Alexandria in fighting waves of walkers coming from the north. This is where Rosita and Eugene are. It basically means staying in Alexandria and fighting them as they reached the fence.

Aaron and Negan go south to fight off the walkers coming from that direction. As Eugene said, the ones coming from the south are more dispersed and therefore somewhat easier to kill.

The third group is Daryl, Carol, and Michonne, who go to the northern border to meet Alpha. Another example of threes and also the north symbol.

Another example of threes comes when Negan and Aaron argue while fighting walkers. Aaron doesn't want Negan to have the crowbar because he doesn't trust him with a weapon like that. Negan finally relents and picks up the broomstick. Then Aaron says, "three coming in on your side." So he turns to fight three walkers. A small instance of three, but it’s there nonetheless.

Rosita and Eugene:

The first time we seem Rosita and Eugene, they're fighting at Alexandria together. Rosie asks, "You want to go back, don't you?" Eugene answers, "No, I'm good." It's a small scene, but the dialogue is very Bethyl-ish. It houses both the "you can't go back," theme we saw in S5, in the “No, I'm good,” reminded me of Beth singing, We’ll Be Good in Alone.

Meeting Alpha:

This was pretty straightforward and were obviously setting up a Carol vs Alpha arc. We saw the H coin Lydia left at the base of Henry's Pike.

Another instance of threes comes when Alpha points out that she knows TF has crossed her land three times. Once during winter storm, once during the fire, and once when Michonne and Aaron were on the bridge. I have to wonder how she knows all that. They’ve shown very obviously that she and Beta were not in the area, so how does she know. Did some of the Whisperers stay in the area? Maybe. Did she set up cameras? No idea. But it's very intriguing.

Aaron and Negan:

It's also important to note that Aaron and Negan fight walkers near a green and yellow tractor. Obviously, the colors catch our attention, but I thought of two times we've noticed tractors that are tangled up with Beth symbolism. 

The first was in S6. Just before Glenn's death fake out, he and Nicholas and Heath went to a tractor store to kill all the walkers there. It's kind of interesting because this was right before Glenn's death fake out, which has parallels to Beth's. But it's also interesting that Heath was there, and now he's with the helicopter people, the same as Rick.

I’ve also talked recently about the theme of having a weak character die while a strong character lives. I mentioned it with Lizzie and Mika, as well as Gamma and her sister. Nicholas and Glenn were another example of this.

We should talk about the hog weed. I talked about Aaron's blindness yesterday, and how this walker looked a lot like the Cherokee Rose walker from 6x06. The other thing is that Negan says the green stuff covering this walker is hogweed. Not only is that a pig reference, but this is a real weed you can look up. It does cause rashes and blindness. The reason Negan knew what it was is because he got a burn on his arm. Hogweed is an interesting choice because it flowers in a similar way to carrots. Only, it's very toxic where carrots are obviously not.

At one point, Negan makes random reference to the story of America. I thought that was kind of an odd thing for him to say until @wdway​ pointed out the 49th hour being an Alaska reference. It might be a way of saying that the US history is important in the symbolism. Remember, we’ve also seen paintings about US history, including the Thanksgiving painting and the Crossing of the Delaware painting.

When Aaron gets to the cabin, he's thrashing around and walkers get inside the door. Negan kills them. We had a couple of other Beth callbacks here. I noticed Negan said, "You all right?" It's a pretty generic thing to say, but I remember our fandom making a big deal about Daryl saying that to Beth in the graveyard. Because it showed he cared if she was all right or not. And remember that in this parallel, Negan = Daryl and Aaron = Beth.

Negan also asked if Aaron had washed out his eyes. Aaron said that he used water to wash them out and it was gone. Negan gives him water to drink. So, an example of someone running out of water once again.

Carol/Daryl/Michonne in the school:

I talked about how because of the dog on the outside, I believe everything is a reference to Beth's return. First off, let's note that we see a lot of broken glass here. A lot of it. (Broken glass theory).

Then there's the clock with no hands. @frangipanilove​, @wdway​ and I have actually talked a lot about what this might mean. We haven't settled on anything concrete yet. I think we need to see a few more examples of it before we know for certain.

For me, I think part of it is that Carol is sort of in prison in her own mind. So, the clock with no hands may represent a prison or the fact that time is not passing for some reason. 

@frangipanilove​ had a really good insight. She suggested since we saw a lot of clocks around Beth (that's where the clock symbolism originated, because someone asked Gimple if the clocks at Grady were important and he said yes) perhaps a clock with no hands represents zero time. In other words, perhaps when there is no more time, that’s when Beth will return. I think that's a really great insight because something else in this episode points to the same thing and it’s sort of an adjacent symbol.

Next to the clock is a flu poster. It occurred to me this could be connected to the radiation/sickness theme.

We see the egg timers around Carol. The thing about egg timers is that they always count down. If you set a timer for 30 minutes, it counts backward from 30 to 0 and when it hits zero, the bell goes off. We see the egg timer several different times around Carol and it always counts down to zero.

Remember also that in 4x16, A, Joe Claimer talked about New Year's Eve and the ball dropping and counting backward down to zero. This is a theme we've seen before. We’re thinking that the timer represents counting down to Beth's return and when it hits zero, she’ll show up. Seeing the egg timers go off three different times in the school represents this, and the clocks with no hands on them may too.

Of course, my opinion on this may change as we learn more.

I talked yesterday about how Daryl looks through the broken glass. I instantly recognized this as a Coda call back. We saw the gov look through glass when he went to the funeral home in 4x06, and that had a ton of Beth foreshadowing in it. Rick did the same thing at Grady just before Beth was shot. Now we see both Daryl and Carol do the same thing. So this is definitely a call back to Coda.

In the school, Carol says, "I'll take first watch." That's a call back to Consumed when she told him the same thing. This part looked visually similar to Consumed because it's her and Daryl in a dark building. They’re not alone, of course, and as I talked about yesterday, there also a lot of callbacks to Still, as well.

In the part where Daryl told the story about his father driving truck, there's a couple of details I didn't mention. Carol calls his dad a “meth-snorting trucker.” That’s a callback to Merle’s crystal meth, but also remember that Daryl mentioned the tweaker who used to sell to Merle in Still. So, this is a reference to Still.

Daryl mentions that the girl in the story, on the side of the road is crying. Think Beth in Inmates. He also mentions that when he thought he hit her, his dad called the local PD. Grady anyone? And even the way they sit with their feet flat & knees pointed to the ceiling is very reminiscent of how Beth and Daryl sat on the porch of the moonshine shack. Oh yeah, and the walls of this room are painted bright yellow. Just saying.

One other thing: his references to I-66 and Kentucky jumped out at me as significant. I couldn’t remember other times we’d specifically seen either in the show, so I Googled. The I-66 in Kentucky is a real thing. There’s a main drag that runs from Kentucky to Kansas, and to the East, one of its termination points is near D.C. Makes sense as a reference, right. But I also found out (HERE) that there were originally plans to extend it all the way through California. Those plans got cancelled in the ‘90s and the highway was never extended, but if it had been, it would have gone directly though New Mexico. So this is actually a cloaked New Mexico reference. Definitely a foreshadow.

In the gym sequence, Carol stepped into a noose, which makes it part of the hanging theme we've seen before. We also saw soccer balls a lot. I'm not sure what that represents, but the camera focuses on them several times.

@bethgreeneprevails​ also pointed out some parallels to Beth in this sequence that I totally missed. Carol stepped into a trap with her foot—like Beth did in Alone. With her foot in the trap, she shoots at a walker—like Beth did in Alone. And her cutting her arm where she did, with glass no less, is a parallel to Beth’s suicide arc in S2. I was trying to compare it to her bandaged arm in S5, which is the opposite arm. But in S2 she cut her left arm with a piece of glass. Coincidence?

Which leads to another theory we’ve been batting around. I said yesterday that we didn’t see her sustain the injury. We’re kind of wondering if, also paralleling Beth in S2, Carol did it to herself. I don’t know if it would have been conscious or unconscious, and I truly don’t think Carol is actually one to commit suicide. But it wouldn’t be the first time we saw a character self-harm to relieve grief. *coughs Daryl* I’ll come back to this in a minute.

Let's talk more about Carol's hallucinations. I said yesterday, I think there were three hallucination sequences inside the school. I don't count her seeing the home economics book, because I don't think that was a hallucination sequence. I think that was her seeing things while awake. But the other three were almost more like extended dream sequences.

I think the first one was when Daryl told her the story about the truck and the missing girl. That was dream sequence number one, and as they stand up, we hear the egg timer go off.

Dream sequence number two was when she walked to the glass window that was broken and saw the Samara walker inside. Then she sees Henry and hears him call her mom. It looks like she's about to get stabbed by the Samara walker when suddenly she wakes up. 

That's when Daryl finds her and says she's been gone for half an hour and tells her his dad was not a trucker. After that, the egg timer goes off. So because of the nightmare, she actually woke herself up prior to the alarm that time. But when Daryl tells her his dad was not a trucker, she was definitely awake then.

As soon as he leaves, she sees movement in the corridor and starts chasing it. This is when she goes into the gym. The gym is her third dream sequence.

I've also said that I think each of them represent something. I'm not entirely sure what yet but here's a few musings.

I said Daryl’s story about the girl disappearing in front of the truck sounds a lot like Beth and her body disappearing in Atlanta. So perhaps that represents the past. The second hallucination was Carol seeing blood and a dark walker and then Henry. I think this represents what she's dealing with now. Specifically, Henry's death. The dark girl (Samara) walker might represent Carol's own inner darkness and the demons she's dealing with. They’re literally haunting her dreams and chasing her around.

And the third sequence in the gym? Again, I can't be sure, but I think it represents the future. Something about the Whisperers will lure Carol into a trap. Perhaps that will lead to Ezekiel's death fake out. I said yesterday that I thought maybe their group ran into walkers outside the school and that's where Carol got the glass in her arm, but we didn't see it. I was thinking about that work in terms of what it meant for Carol, but it occurred to me it could foreshadow Ezekiel's arc.

Perhaps Carol will be lured into a trap by the Whisperers and it will lead to Ezekiel's death fake out. (Hence not seeing some interaction with walkers. That would perhaps symbolize Carol not realizing Ezekiel is still alive. It also lines up well with not seeing what happened with Beth and the walkers after Coda, and Daryl not realizing she is alive either.) Something like that. Only after that do we see the female whisperer’s eyes open, which probably represents Beth’s return.

Again, this is conjecture on my part and my interpretations will probably change as the arc unfolds. This is what I'm leaning toward now.

Let’s talk about the kitchen sequence.

They played a song called Care of Cell 44. Again, we kind of freaked out and realize there's a song by this name the show. There’s the 44 again, which is the issue where Andrea was shot in the head and survived. We actually saw a 44 on a magazine at the end of Coda with Morgan. Aside from being an obvious reference to Andrea’s comic book arc, you could also argue that we saw a 44 the end of Coda and now are seeing on again, which suggests the event of Coda are coming back around.

Think of it in terms of music. When you play music, there are signs at the beginning and ending of the coda to tell you when to start the coda, and when to end it, especially if there are repeats. So we saw a 44 at the end of 5x08, after Beth was shot. Now we’re seeing them in a big way again.

Back to Care of Cell 44. My thoughts immediately went to 7x03, The Cell. Daryl was a prisoner at the Sanctuary. Anyone who cared to interpret the symbolism there knew it was all about Beth. They played a song a lot like the one Beth sang at the prison in S3 and Daryl started to cry.

Also remember that even though Angela Kang wasn't show runner yet she wrote both The Cell and the episode in S3 where Beth sang. She put similar songs in both episodes. So it's important to note that music always has importance for Angela. And now she’s the show runner and doing an amazing job.

So we hear this song play during the kitchen sequence and it’s a fairly upbeat song. It reminded me of the upbeat songs we saw around her in 6a when she was making cookies and killing walkers, as well as songs we heard in 5b, such as the Bee Gees Spicks and Specks, which talks about leaving a girl behind.

So I know certain shippers are freaking out about this dream sequence, but that’s kind of laughable. I have three things to say about it.

1) There is nothing remotely romantic in it. It lasts about 15 seconds and Daryl and Carol barely look at each other. I also had the thought that their positioning in the kitchen, with Carol on the right and in front and Daryl on the left and slightly behind, looks a whole lot like when Deanna and Spencer fought in the kitchen in S6. If anything, that's backs up the idea of Carol and Daryl being mother and son in the sequence.

2) I don't think we've seen all of the sequence yet. I think it might follow a pattern similar to Rick's Old Man Coda/Carl’s vision for the future. In S8, we saw a little bit at a time. First, we saw Rick waking up, then later he went out into the main room and talking to Michonne. Then later we saw Judith come in, Rick talk to Carl, and eventually Rick taking Judith out through Alexandria to where Negan was working. But not until Carl died and they explained that this was his vision for the future did we actually see the full sequence, nor did it make sense.

I think there might be something similar here. Because the way Carol’s kitchen dream cut off, without much hint as to what it all means, makes it feel very unfinished. I kind of hate to speculate on where it's going (although, you know me, I will ;D) because I just don't think we have all the puzzle pieces yet. I think we’ll see more of this dream throughout the season, and we’ll get a little more with each time.

The other option is that maybe we won't see more, but some point Carol will explain something that's going on in her own head that will make this make sense. Either way, I don't think we can do much correct interpretation of this yet.

But!

I will give you two possibilities that are thought of. Just keep in mind that they will most likely change if we learn anything new.

So here goes. The fact that Henry is in the dream is important. He's wearing his compass rose T-shirt. The compass rose is part of the Sirius/North Star symbolism, and also remember how heavily Henry was paralleled with Beth when he was still alive. So, I'm thinking that Henry being in this sequence symbolically represents Beth being there.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Carol says she needs jam and Daryl tells her to go get some. We don't actually see her go, that the point is, she’s out of jam needs to go find some.

Remember that this is the episode where we had the peanut butter and jelly reference from FG, and that is definitely a Bethyl thing. Jam and jelly are the same thing. I feel like this is part of the peanut butter and jelly theme.

Beth = peanut butter and Daryl = jam. Carol and Daryl are the two similar ones in these relationships. In other words, Carol and Daryl are alike. They're the ones that are prone to pessimism, isolation, and self-destructiveness. Their significant others, Beth and Ezekiel, also similar. There are more prone to optimism, faith, and positivity. So the jam would actually represent both Carol and Daryl.

I think the fact that they’re out of jam and looking for more perhaps represents that neither of them are in a happy, romantic relationships with their significant others right now. They're not currently the jam to someone else's peanut butter currently. And then Carol almost leaves to get more. My first thought was this was simply another way of saying that Daryl and Carol will go on some sort of trip together, looking for their significant others.

Then I considered Henry. I'm thinking he might represent Beth in this equation. So maybe it's something more like they'll find Beth first and once she's with Daryl, Carol will need to leave on her own to find Ezekiel. Something like that.

And again, I'm really, really conjecturing here. Because I feel like were missing a great deal of the sequence and by the time we get it, I might realize I’m completely off in this interpretation. I'm okay with that. I'm just telling you some of the thoughts that gone through my head so far. Then we also see Carol's watch with no hands on it.

If it means Beth’s return, what I've said here already would make sense. It could also represent Carol being in her own prison and needing to break out of it by going to look for the jam. Again, just some thoughts. 

That takes care of the symbolism side of things, but I wanted to talk about something more literal concerning Carol. It was something Angela Kang said on TTD. (I’ll talk more about TTD tomorrow.) She was describing this scene and she talked about it in a way that hadn’t occurred to me until I heard her say it. For Carol, the scene is very carefree and upbeat. UNTIL she sees Henry sitting there. That’s when Carol wakes up and starts to cry.

So, according to AK, the reason Carol doesn’t want to sleep is because when she sleeps, she dreams of her dead children, and she can’t bear it. I could tell Angela was almost in tears talking about this with Carol. She obviously has a lot of sympathy for Carol’s character. I thought it was sweet.

And this may possibly counter what I said above. About seeing more of this dream. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t. But the reason it cut off so suddenly is because she saw Henry and woke herself up. Then immediately looked for more pills, which she didn’t have.

My point? AK confirmed this hallucination was not about Daryl. Not at all. The breakfast is just Carol’s idea of normalcy. Hanging out with her BFF. Eating breakfast. Being happy. But the point of having this in the episode is how messed up she still is about Henry.

And actually, that’s built right into the title. I think the ghost girl story Daryl told (technically Carol told it because it was her subconscious ;D) was a symbol/foreshadow having to do with Beth. But from a more literal standpoint, this was all about Carol’s ghosts. The ghosts of the children she’s lost.

I think the foreshadowing is showing where her dark, destructive frame of mind will eventually take her, and what it will lead to in the show.

Also, it occurred to me this might support our self-harm theory. Much like after Daryl lost Beth (and remember Henry was heavily paralleled with her while alive) Carol might be self-harming to deal with her grief.

I think that’s all I have for today. Thoughts?

Heyyy there mods splinter and dave!!!! First of all, I've got to say you guys seem super hella cool and I'm so excited I found your blog!! Second, I wasn't sure if requests are open atm but I didn't see anything saying they weren't so hopefully this is ok? But uhhh could I get an aesthetic for a genderfluid Roxy Lalonde with upbeat/happy themes? With colors of the genderfluid flag if you can manage it, and maybe like,,, cute kitty things or smth? Tysm! - PD P.s. Mod dave's page made me lmao

Yo, Rox. I’d like to think we’re pretty fucking chill, so I’m glad you’re liking things so far. Being called cool is the epitome of Strider Validation (TM). 

And yeah, requests are open - I just wasn’t getting any notifs about them, because Tumblr fucking hates me, I guess. Sorry about that. I hope you’re still around to see your aesthetic, because it’s done. 

I tried to include all the colours, and as close to the real ones as I could get. Let me know if you want to change anything, though. 

(I’ll get Dave to add his own comments in a bit, too, because I know he was hella proud of his little page)
