Quick rant: I don't like how they hard-confirmed Larry as being racist in season four. As far as I can tell, the only evidence FOR him being racist was that he doesn't deny it if Mark accuses him. Other than that, he actually has valid reasons to be distrustful of Lee, not to mention that he's a jerk to EVERYONE, including the other white people. That's not even getting into that he seems to have had a soft spot for Clementine, which wouldn't really make sense if he was racist.

Honestly, season four feels like character assassination for both Lilly and Larry, turning them from nuanced characters who can be very unpleasant at times, to straight-up cartoonishly evil.

It's just a shame as someone who finds Lilly pretty sympathetic in season one. I also consider Larry to actually be a pretty amusing character, almost like a sitcom archnemesis for Lee, so having them both made retroactively so much worse is just... ugh.

favourite twdg villain?

I'm a fond enjoyer of the St. John's as villains. I don't know if they're my favorite just because they're only in one episode, but I love the concept of this family almost immediately jumping into cannibalism toward the start of the outbreak, dealing in human flesh to bandits, and casually feeding this group their friend's legs.

Like... what the hell was this family like before the outbreak that all three of them were like, "Hey now listen... nothing should go to waste, the dead are eating people so why shouldn't we? We gotta survive and in our defense, we only target those who were gonna die anyway... like y'all."

Dude, Mark was shot in this shoulder with an arrow. He wasn't going to die from that injury. It's so fucked that these seemingly friendly people took the group into their home and then fed them Mark's legs.

If we take the idea that everyone is infected and have the capacity within themselves to become walkers, to become monsters, then the St. John's were infected long before the outbreak, y'know? Not literally, but something was wrong with them and the outbreak just further spread that infection and changed them.

But again, are they my favorite? I dunno if I can say that since I have a lot more appreciation for Lily now. Yeah, some of her writing gets a little wonky in ep3 of TFS when she goes on her monologues and shit, but y'know what? I'm into it.

You have to remember who we're talking about and the fact that she's the antagonist; Lily isn't some anti-hero in TFS who secretly has a heart of gold that's brought to light because she reunited with Clementine... she's a fucked up woman who did fucked up things in the name of survival. She's full of rot now. She sees kidnapping children and turning them into soldiers to protect her home as a means to an end, but she doesn't actually give a shit about the people she's taking. They aren't people to her, they're as the episode title suggests, toys in her game. The only one she sees as a person is Clementine, and while that makes her hesitate at first, she sees Clementine's a prize to bring back.

She remembers what happened in S1; her father had a heart attack and as she tried to save him, Kenny smashed his face in with a saltlick and then expected Lily to just stand up and help him get back to his family because "he did what he had to, he made the hard choice." Yes, Larry was a piece of shit. No one liked him, and you can even question Lily on him and she'll tell you that he has a lot of pain. Yes, it makes him an asshole, but he's still her dad and he's all she has. I mean... the simplification is daddy issues, but in all seriousness, I don't doubt for a second that many of Lily's issues stem from Larry being a shitty father to her.

Then everyone thought she was losing it when she insisted there was a traitor in the group, which she was right about, but she was unstable. She was unwell, but how do you help someone like that when you don't have training to go about it? Then Lily ends up killing either Carley or Doug and the group turns on her, and either she's left behind or she steals the van and runs away.

Then we don't know what the hell happened to her until we see her again in TFS, but like... a lone woman with decay festering inside of her joining the delta? Exposing her to their methods? I mean, what else did she have to lose? She had nothing, she lost everything, and she has a lot of issues. Survival is easy when you're numb, when you don't care about the individual; they're all just cogs churning to make the system run, and if a piece doesn't cooperate, you get rid of it and find a new one.

Plus I think there's something to say about Lily not wanting to be perceived as weak again. That whole display she put on in the cells? Telling the story of what happened to Minerva and Sophie? I get the criticism that it feels like Lily did a 180 between episodes but like... yeah dude, because it's a performance. It's not just her and Clementine anymore. It's a display of power and authority. She's playing the part and thriving in it as she ensures everyone else is terrified of her.

But then when Clementine and AJ get the upper hand? Again, she's not afraid to play up the pleading to earn enough sympathy to spare her- hell, just to let their guard down enough to strike and get the upper hand again. I mean, she's got nothing else to lose, right? If she doesn't go for it, she'll be killed and sure, you can kill her anyway but at least she tried.

Honestly, I look at Lily in TFS and still see that scared little girl playing the tough bitch, just like Carley said in S1. It's just now escalated from "tough bitch" to a downright vile person. She's so... lost? I suppose? Lost within herself and the monstrous means she's taken to survive.

I get the criticisms of how she was used in TFS, but for me, it's like when people complain about Minerva not getting the redemption arc she supposedly should've gotten, y'know? There's no saving her. Lily was never on our side, and there was no getting her on our side. She wasn't ever going to redeem herself. Even if you spare her and she drifts away on her raft, can someone like her actually find redemption? Or will she just find another group that'll feed into her rot?

Truly, I say let her be horrid. Let her be the piece of shit villain with a few fleeting moments of humanity. Let her drown in the blood she's spilled.

What if St Johns succeeded in capturing and eating the Motel survivors? Prompt Submitted by Darkwubs on AO3

Requests On Hold

TW: Implied Rape/Non-Con, Cannibalism and Murder

Lee scowled as Larry, Lilly and Kenny were hauled out of the meat locker by the St. Johns, with Andy throwing Duck in. Making sure Duck and Clementine were behind him, Lee grimly watched as he heard Lilly screaming at them through the door. They heard Larry yelling, before a gunshot echoed out, followed by two more. They heard Danny and Andy talking about something, as they started butchering.

Outside the Barn, Carley and Ben quietly watched as Walkers started pressing against the fence. Lee and the others had been gone longer than they’d expected, prompting Carley to make the decision for her and Ben to go find them. It was probably nothing, but they had to be sure. A noise beside her made Carley pause and look towards it, expecting a Walker. Instead, she saw a boy roughly the same age as Clementine looking up at her.

“Hi.” Said the boy, getting a small wave from Carley and Ben.

“…Hey.” Carley wondered if this was how Clementine met Lee.

“Carley, there’s the woman.” Said Ben, pointing towards the house.

“Probably noticing that the fence isn’t on and the Walkers getting through.” Murmured Carley, as one of the St. John brothers stepped out, holding Katjaa’s severed head, “Oh, god.”

“We got the meat stripped off the three you wanted us to kill.” Said the brother, “Just Lee, and those kids left.”

“I had to get rid of that one we had for dinner.” Said the man’s mother.

The man scoffed, “Where’s Andy?”

“He’s with that woman.” Said the mother, “You had that vet.”

“Wasn’t fair he got the prettier one.” Grumbled Danny, “Can I have that other one, that came here earlier?”

“We’ll see.” Said the mother, “I turned the fence on, we got Walkers comin’ up on us.”

Carley took the opportunity to raise her gun and shoot Danny in the spine, the man fell with a scream.

“My legs!” Screamed Danny, “I can’t feel my legs!”

The mother, Brenda, Carley remembered her name, looking around frantically, before Carley took her out as well. She wasn’t killed, but she hit her head when she landed. Without waiting for Ben or the kid, Carley ran into the barn, finding an inside door open to the horrific scene of Kenny, Larry and Katjaa butchered. Swallowing the bile rising in her throat, Carley stepped past them and saw a meat locker and wrenching the door open. Carley just stepped through, when Lee tackled her.

“It’s me!” Yelled Carley, making Lee pause.

“Oh, thank god.” Gasped Lee, before spotting the dead bodies, “Fuck.”

“Where’re Mark and Lilly?” Asked Carley, getting a groan from Lee.

“They fed the others Mark’s legs,” Said Lee, “If Lilly isn’t with the others, then they might have her somewhere else.”

“We have to get the kids out of here.” Said Carley, just as they heard a scream, “That sounded like Lilly.”

Lee frowned, before looking at the kids, “Go with Carley, I’ll get Lilly.”

Carley soon found herself with Duck and Clementine, guiding them past their dead friends. Lee grabbed a rifle and a pitchfork, stabbing Brenda with the farming instrument and charging into the house. There was some yelling, before there was a gunshot. Carley waiting a few moments, before looking at Ben, “Keep the kids with you.”

Without waiting for a response, Carley rushed to the house, finding Lee keeping Andy pinned by standing on his shoulder, while trying to coax a catatonic Lilly out of the room. Carley swallowed, noticing that Lilly was naked.

“Lee.” Carley got his attention, “I’ll take over here.”

Lee nodded, before he hauled Andy to his feet and forced him into another room. The sound of breaking glass and Andy screaming told Carley that Lee threw the other man out a window. After getting some clothes on Lilly, Carley gathered what weapons and supplies she could find into a bag, the two women saw Lee shove Andy onto the electric fence, before he dragged the paralysed Danny over to his reanimated mother and shoved his face against the Walker’s mouth.

“LEE!” Yelled Carley, making Lee look at her, “We need to go.”

Breathing heavily, Lee nodded and guided the kids and the women out of the farm, leaving their dead friends. Lee’d hoped that they wouldn’t lose anyone else, killing a Walker that got a bit too close to Ben.

L

The boy, that crept up on Ben and Carley, gave his name as Adam and that he’d gotten separated from his dad while they were hunting. They found his family’s car, with them deciding to wait at the car until Adam’s family turned up.

“Look at all their supplies.” Said Ben, looking into the car, “They’ve could survive for weeks off this.”

“Probably.” Shrugged Lee, “Almost makes me wonder why they were out hunting.”

“We could double back,” Suggested Carley, “take whatever supplies remain at the dairy.”

“Tomorrow.” Said Lee, looking at Lilly, “It’s dark and we don’t want to get lost.”

The sound of a stick breaking got their attention, just as a man, a woman and a girl a little bit older than Duck appear from the darkness. The man stared at them for a bit, before hastily grabbing his gun, “W-what do you want?!”

Adam perked up and rushed out, “Dad!”

“Adam!” Gasped the woman, rushing towards him, “Oh, baby, I thought I’d lost you.”

“I found these guys.” Grinned Adam, “They fought some bad guys as a farm, she,” He pointed at Carley, “shot two of them, it was so cool, he,” Adam pointed at Lee, “threw one of the bad guys out a window and beat him up and threw him onto a fence! And, and he stabbed another with a pitchfork and when she became one of the monsters, he threw the last surviving one onto its mouth!”

Adam’s parents wearily looked at Lee and Carley.

“They were cannibals, who tried to feed us our friends legs and killed three more of our friends.” Explained Lee, before glancing at Lilly, “She… er… got stuck in a room with one of them.”

Adam’s dad slowly nodded, before looking over the group, “Do you have somewhere to stay?”

“We’re based in the Motel not far from here.” Said Carley, “We don’t have much in way of food… or anything really. That’s how they got us.”

“We’ll… er,” Adam’s dad looked at Adam’s mom, “we’ll meet you there.”

L

Adam’s parents, Mitch and Tess, checked them over when they got back to the motel. Tess turned out to be a doctor, while Mitch was a handy-man/mechanic. Lee was somewhat happy that Duck and Clementine had a couple of kids around their age for once. Lilly stayed in her room for the most part. Mitch started fixing the RV, stating not all of them could fit in the car.

Lee, Mitch and Ben had gone to the farm and scavenged anything that could be useful. Ben got separated from them for a bit, but they all made it home. Lee and Carley had done several supply-runs into Macon, gathering as much food, weapons and supplies as they could find. It was after one of their supply-runs that they found Lilly had gone missing.

Then the supplies started to go missing, which led them to move the supplies into the RV, with someone inside it at all times to keep an eye on them.

“They have to be going somewhere,” Said Carley, looking around at the other three adults, “what are they taking?”

“Opioids.” Responded Tess, “And since none of us are getting high, they’re not using them, which means they’re either stashing them away or giving them to someone outside of the group.”

“Who’s watching the supplies now?” Asked Mitch, looking at Lee.

“Ben,” Answered Lee, “I’m going to look over the outside, since we’ve checked everywhere else.”

“We’ll get the vehicles ready.” Said Carley, as Lee headed out.

Half-an-hour later, the station wagon and the RV were tearing out of the Motel, speeding away as the Bandits from the woods shot at them.

L

They stopped at the side of the road during the night, with the Adults stepping out, after Lee hit a Walker.

“They had Lilly.” Said Tess, “They said ‘one isn’t enough anymore’. What else could they’ve meant?”

“Someone gave them supplies and sold a member of the group.” Carley frowned and Lee dealt with the Walker, “That, or they’ve been sneaking in, but then why only take one?”

“The kids would’ve mentioned it,” Said Lee, looking up from the Walker, “which only leaves Ben.”

“What do we do with him?” Asked Mitch, making Lee sigh.

“We don’t have the numbers to cut him loose.” Said Lee, “We’ll keep him away from the others, but we’ll need to come up with a more permanent solution.”

After ensuring that there weren’t Walkers approaching, they got back in their vehicles and drove off.

L

They stopped at a level crossing, with a train blocking the road. Lee, Mitch and Ben scouted the train out, discovered that it still worked and met an old homeless man who was living in it. After introducing him to the rest of the group, Lee and Mitch got the train free from the derailed cars.

“Good luck.” Said Mitch, as they split the supplies, “In Savannah, I mean.”

“You as well.” Responded Lee, “Maybe we’ll run into each other again someday.”

“Someday.” Said Mitch, as Carley got Clementine, Duck and Ben onto the train, “You going to teach them how to shoot?”

“Carley seems to think it’s a good idea.” Said Lee, looking at the train car, “Hopefully we can make a more solid plan when we get to Savannah.”

Mitch sighed, “Well, be seeing you, Lee.”

“Goodbye Mitch.”

The two halves of the group bid their goodbyes, with Adam giving Clementine his hoodie, “So you won’t get cold.”

With a final wave, Mitch and his family drove off, as Lee started the train.

L

The trip was quiet and without interruption, until Lee had to stop the train because a tanker was blocking the track. Lee had gone up to inspect the coupling when he ran into Omid and Christa, a couple that had been travelling when the outbreak started.

After showing Omid, and Ben, the controls of the train, Lee took Clementine down to a nearby station, while Carley kept watch on top of the train. After a few minutes, they heard a gunshot, prompting Christa to run down to the station, just as Lee and Clementine stepped out.

“What happened?” Demanded Christa, looking at Lee.

“We ran into some Walkers,” Explained Lee, “We dealt with it.”

“Really?” Christa frowned, “You and an eight-year-old girl?”

“I’m nine.” Corrected Clementine, making Lee look at her.

“When’d you turn nine, Clem?” Asked Lee, drowning.

“Four days ago.” Answered Clementine, after counting on her fingers.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Everyone died.” Answered Clementine, “I didn’t want to be happy.”

“Clem,” Said Lee, gently as he crouched down, “you can be happy when you’re grieving. Sometimes, it’s what keeps us going.”

Clementine gave Lee a small nod, before they reached the trains. Lee and Omid went up and started cutting the tankers coupling, while Carley saw a horde of Walkers in the distance. Glancing at her gun, Carley tucked it into her waist band and called down to Christa, “We’ve got some Walkers coming up, if they guys are quick, we can get out of here before they reach us.”

Just as Carley said that, the tanker dropped down onto the ground, with Lee and Omid hurrying down to them and clambering onto the train. With heavy breaths, the survivors left the horde behind.

L

“The Marsh House should be down here.” Said Carley, as they walked down a street, “Hopefully, we won’t have any unexpected surprises.”

Lee glanced back at the group, Christa and Omid stuck around, but Lee felt like that they were hiding something. Chuck kept an eye on Ben, as Lee had requested, making sure he didn’t do anything that could put them at risk. Lee and Carley still had to decide what to do with Ben.

Lee bumped into Clementine, not noticing that she’d stopped, “Clem?”

Clementine stared down the street, with Lee following her gaze. He felt his breath catch in his throat, Clementine’s parents ambled around, not making any noise. Gently pushing Clementine forwards, the small group hurried into the Hotel, with Ben tripping when a Walker grabbed his ankle. Faster than anyone them could react, the Walker clambered onto Ben’s back and tore a chunk out of his shoulder. Swallowing, Lee pulled the hotel doors shut, as Ben was devoured by the Walkers in the street.

Swallowing, Lee turned to the others, “We need to check for Walkers. Chuck, stay here with the kids, okay?”

Chuck frowned, but nodded. Lee took the rest of the group and spent the next few hours putting down the Walkers still in the hotel. Sooner than they all expected, they’d each claimed a room.

“Ooh.” Carley stretched as she sat down, “That was exhausting.”

“Yeah.” Murmured Lee, wrapping an arm around her, “Fuck, how long has it been?”

“Since when?”

“Since we lost the others.”

“Just over a week, I think.” Sighed Carley, leaning against Lee.

“Christ.” Lee looked down at Carley, “Wanna talk about it?”

Carley sighed and looked up at him, “No.” Without another word, Carley closed the distance between them and kissed him.

L

The next morning Lee and Carley woke up tangled together, with a strange feeling of contentment. They got dressed and checked on the kids, finding Clementine wrapped up in a blanket and Duck half-way off the bed.

After gathering the rest of the group, they took stock of their situation. A couple hours later, Lee and Carley were walking down to the river front, with Duck and Clementine in tow.

“I still think this is a bad idea.” Said Carley, looking around for Walkers.

“It’d help them with future runs.” Answered Lee, glancing back and Duck and Clementine, “Clem, Duck, stay closer to us.”

The children hurried over to them, just as they reached the river. There were boats, but the ones that were sea-worthy had been completely stripped of anything remotely useful.

“Who are you guys?” Asked a woman’s voice from behind them.

Lee and Carley immediately spun around and aimed their guns at a woman in an orange hooded jacket. The woman lowered her hood and remove a mask she’d been wearing, “You’re not with Crawford.”

The woman had interrogated them, told them about Crawford and how she used the bells around the city to lure the Walkers away, when the Walkers that she’d lured away came back. The group ended up being split up, the woman, who’d given her name as Molly, had gotten Carley and the kids up to higher ground, while Lee had to escape into the sewers.

L

Lee returned to the hotel, with the help of another survivor, Vernon, after he stumbled across them. He found that Carley, Clementine and Duck had gotten back to the hotel with Molly. After reuniting with them, the group, as well as their two guests, convened in a lounge-like seating area.

“The hotel’s fairly well stocked,” Argued Christa, looking around them, “and winter’s almost here, so, adding what we already have, we could hold out here until the weather warms up.”

“I thought you wanted to get back on the road.” Remarked Lee, “But, staying here does seem like a good idea. But we’re gonna have to learn the layout of the streets, which ones are blocked, which ones are overrun with Walkers and all that.”

Chuck cleared his throat, “It might not be my place to say, but how long have you been pregnant?”

Everyone looked at the old man with varying degrees of alarm and confusion.

“What?” Carley frowned, “How do you know she’s pregnant?”

“I was a doctor,” Answered Chuck, “was let go on account of my arthritis.”

Lee sighed, “Okay, so, taking Christa’s condition into account, we’re probably gonna be here until the baby is born—”

“Probably longer,” Said Carley, “it’ll be a while before their baby’s safe to travel.”

 “We’re going to need more medicine.” Said Lee, “And some more weapons.”

“And Crawford will have both.” Said Vernon, “I know a way into Crawford without them knowing.”

“If we do go,” Said Carley, “Some people are gonna have to stay behind.”

L

Vernon had left and returned with another member of his group, a woman called Brie, before they led a small group consisting of Lee, Omid, Molly and Clementine to Crawford through the sewers. They’d found the community had fallen and was overrun with Walkers, Lee found himself agreeing with Vernon when the older man said they now had the advantage. They set themselves up in a classroom, with Lee instructing Clementine to hold the fort until he got back, before he went off with Molly to get a battery and some gas for something she was working on.

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Carley, Christa and Chuck

Brie offered to stay with Clementine, while Vernon and Omid got the medicine. The rest of the trip was smooth sailing, with Lee and Molly returning with the battery. Brie then took Molly and got the gas, before Vernon and Omid got back to the room, it turned out that Omid knew his way around a lock. They’d just gotten the armoury open when Molly and Brie got back, they gathered what weapons they had and made their escape, spotting the large horde of Walkers that had been attracted by the train.

“Maybe you should bring your people to the hotel.” Suggested Lee, looking at Vernon and Brie, “We’ve got the room, and we’ve got it pretty secure.”

Vernon hesitated, before glancing at Brie, “We’ll discuss it amongst ourselves.”

Lee found himself nodding, before they started on their way back to the hotel.

“So,” Omid looked at Molly, “What’re the gas and battery for?”

“I’ve been trying to fix up an RV,” Said Molly, after a few moments of silence, “the Battery and the gas were the last things it needed, I think.”

Having an RV, Lee thought, could be useful when they eventually moved on. He decided to talk to Molly about it later, after they were all safe at the Hotel.

L

Vernon and his group reached the hotel, just as the horde hit Savannah. Lee made sure that Molly was with them before they hit. Everyone knew that the hotel wasn’t going to be long-term, but as Lee looked around the two groups mingling with each other, he couldn’t help by feel hopeful.

“Do you think Mitch and his family are okay?” Asked Carley, making her presence next to him known.

“I hope so.” Answered Lee, “Maybe we’ll run into them again.”

“It’ll be a while.” Said Carley, as she watched Clementine and Duck talk with Molly, “Do we stay as a big group or split off?”

“I don’t know.” Sighed Lee, “Molly’s RV would come in handy, but we know the issues of having a medium sized group, having a large group might be worse.”

“Or it might be better.” Carley pointed out.

Lee sighed, “I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Carley hummed, before resting herself against Lee. The couple stood in silence, watching the group. Lee knew that they needed to come up with a plan or something, but, for now, he wanted to enjoy the peace.

Can you draw mark? He’s super underrated

"I just want you to know that I've got your back if anything goes down."

Mark's death was HAUNTING to me and I still think it's one of the worst deaths in the series

[ericsonclan]

I gotten sucked into watching this anime on crunchyroll called attack on titan and it is one of the best animes I have seen. It kind of mirrors a bit of the lore of the walking dead but in this world the titans make the walkers look like child's play. There is a fucked up story plot who the titans actually are that was a shock when I watched all 4 seasons. The final season....damn was it hard to push through with pain of some of the characters I come to know and love. The English dubbed to this series was outstanding and I felt every performance and got me sobbing near the end.

Anyways I was wondering if the characters from twdg blended worlds in with attack on titan where do you think they will end up after graduating from the Cadet Corp.

In the show you have three places to sign up and devote your service to.

The scout regiment (have the wings of freedom symbol)

The garrison regiment (have the rose symbol to protect wall Rose)

The military police regiment (a horse or unicorn symbol)

And later after historia takes her place as queen of the walls there is a new regiment to serve and protect the queen in the military.

First off we want to apologize that it has taken us a long time to get to this ask. Life has been very busy over the last few months.

We know a bit about AOT. We watched a few seasons so we have a passable understanding of the world and lore.

The scout regiment: Mitch (he wants to take out Titans and be on the front line), Ruby (She's canonically filled with rage), Clementine, Minnie, Sophie, AJ (not really but tried to sneak to the walls to help and Clem sent him back), Carley, Gabe (he's on the front lines to prove himself to his dad), Javi (to protect Gabe and make sure he doesn't die), Lee, Tripp, Allison

The garrison regiment: Brody (is too afraid to be on the front lines), Louis, Mariana, Matthew, Walter, Sarita, Renata, Willy

The military police regiment: Lilly, Aasim, Mark

Queen's guards: Violet, Prisha

Is a Titan shifter : James

The Queen's Chef: Omar

Hello Kitty

Clementine squeals, running up to Mark.

"Mark! Mark!" - Clementine

"What is it, Clem?" - Mark

"I found stickers! They're so pretty!" - Clementine

Clementine shows Mark some stickers.

"Is that.. Hello Kitty?" - Mark

"Yes! Hello Kitty! Do you want one?" - Clementine

"Oh, I dunno. That's not really for grown men like—" - Mark

Clementine frowns, sniffling softly.

"Oh." - Clementine

Mark begins to panic.

"Fine! Fine! I.. want some stickers." - Mark

Mark sighs in defeat as Clementine begins to cheer.

"Yay!!" - Clementine

A New Companion

"Woof!"

Upon hearing this sound, Mark could've sworn that his heart sank down to his stomach. It was just supposed to be a simple supply run.

"Hello?" Mark asked, his footsteps becoming more and more cautious. He quickly whipped his head around upon hearing the tiny pitter-patter of what could have been a dog.

At this point in the apocalypse, dogs had all but been forgotten by groups like Mark's, and they were only really welcome into groups who used them to scare others away.

"Woof!" There it was again. That sound. The sound that made Mark's hair stand on end.

Readying his axe, the man walked towards the sound that scared him, ready to take on the threat.

"All right, come on out now and let's get this over with," he said, axe right by his side.

"Woof!" The disembodied voice barked back, it's footsteps getting closer.

Mark took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

When he opened them, however, he saw something that he had never expected to see.

On the floor infront of him was a small, scrappy looking puppy. The poor little thing was unkempt and covered in dirt, and it looked up at him, large brown eyes full of hope.

And in that moment, Mark was absolutely smitten. He'd always been a dog person, and it was nearly impossible to resist the puppy's hopeful look combined with that adorable wagging tail.

He scooped the puppy up in his arms, who in turn gave him a playful lick on the nose.

"Let's get you home," he said, looking at the creature in his arms.

Upon arriving, Mark proudly displayed the small creature to Lee, Carley, Clementine, Duck and Ben, who were all quite estatic about the possibility of the group getting a pet. Instantly, the 5 were smitten by him, cooing over his cuteness and already starting to discuss names.

Lily and Kenny, however, weren't quite as enthusiastic.

"Mark, you know we can't keep a dog," Lily sighed, rubbing her temples with her hands.

Mark sighed. "We can't just leave him on his own, Lily."

"For once, I agree with her," Kenny added, "We're barley getting by as it is."

"Thank you," Lily said, "We need to focus on survival, and bringing a dog into the equation isn't going to help us."

"C'mon, can't we keep him?" Duck asked, turning to his mother.

"I'm not making a decision, honey. It's up to Lily and your dad," Katjaa replied in her usual calm tone.

While Lily, Mark and Kenny were busy arguing, Carley pulled Lee aside to discuss a plan.

"Lee, we can't just let Lily get rid of that dog," Carley said, "everyone loves that little guy so much".

"I agree with you, Carley, but what should we do about Lily and Kenny?" Lee asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

"I think we should hold a vote on it. You?"

"Yeah, that's a good plan."

After some heated discussion, the vote was split right down the middle, with Larry and Katjaa choosing to abstain. Eventually, though, Lee and Carley's rousing speeches convinced the two to vote in favour of keeping the dog.

At this, Mark was overjoyed. As were Clementine and the other kids at the motel. They all decided on the name Buddy, and Mark would spend every second of his free time at the animal's side. Buddy quickly became a beloved member of the group, providing much-needed companionship and comfort in the midst of the apocalypse.

Eventually, even Lily and Kenny came around. They saw how happy Buddy made the group, and they realized that having a pet could provide some much-needed joy and hope in the midst of all the darkness.
