TWD

So, I just finished all 11 seasons of the walking dead and I have some.... thoughts.

I just started watching twd a couple of months ago, and I never thought I would get this emotionally attached to a show, like it so much, and also be disappointed in it. It is one of my favorite shows if not THE favorite, but I feel like it definitely could have been handled better.

I'll try to avoid getting into the full rant circulating through my mind but seriously, the last three seasons didn't even feel like it was the same show anymore. I know this kind of post has been done a bunch of times before, but I think they definitely lost sight of what the story was supposed to be about. A father, and his son surviving the apocalypse. I know there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, but killing off Carl Grimes was the worst decision a show ever made and I will die on this hill.

I cannot accurately describe in one post how I feel this show was both incredibly great, and handled so poorly. There were characters that got awesome development, only to be killed off as soon as they started to become good characters. Beth, Tyreese, Denise, Noah, and so many others. Carl had the greatest character development, we literally watched him grow up on the show, and Chandler Riggs did an awesome job bringing that character to life. the way the character and the actor were treated still makes me furious.

Nevertheless, I loved the show, and the last few seasons did have some gems. But I never thought I would get this invested in a show, or in these characters. I'm honestly thinking about writing more about this, because right now it's just living in my head rent-free.

thanks for listening (reading, I know) to my thoughts on this. this was an incredible show, and Carl Grimes was easily my favorite character. From season three onward I guess, he was a bit annoying at first, but you know, a young kid, whose world has drastically changed, and he's still learning what that means in the first two seasons. anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest because wow, this show really got me invested.

I'm not sure if I'll have time to actually draw this before the next episode comes out but I honestly enjoy it just in its raw form

I've also accidentally made the walkers the most charming little creatures

Rewatching the walking dead pilot after finishing the ones who live and I really gotta say Rick Grimes is probably THE most character of all time.

Gilyoung adapting is good but also sad 😔

like not this little baby killing people without a care, even if it’s probably for the best☹️

3x5

I'm not saying I'm gonna finish the fanfic I haven't touched in 6-7 years, because whew boy. But I will say that I've spent the last 2 days re-reading She's Breathing and Still Breathing in entirety to see if I can even remember how I was going to finish it, lol, or if it's even possible.

Watching that dead people series just to see the disturbing relationship between JDM character and the kid

*sobs* omg the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

starting to think some ppl in the walking dead fandom don't know that ppl can platonically say 'i love you' 💀

The best protagonists are the ones that have a lot of growing to do: and beth had SO MUCH growing to do. She was killed off just as she was approaching her prime.

In the hospital, she learned to survive in fucked up power dynamics. She’s not physically strong or a good shot like the rest of the cast; she’s an innocent girl who learned to understand conniving people. This made her stand out. Everyone else is a killer. Beth’s method of survival is understanding power and how people use each other. This was SO underutilized. TWD is not just a show about zombies; it’s about dealing with people.

Second, she’s one of the few characters who maintain their kindness while learning to be strong. I love how Beth defies the trope of characters becoming cold assholes when they toughen up. Beth would have added so much nuance and variety to cast made up of stone cold zombie killers.

Last: I want to see Beth with Daryl again 😭 Their dynamic is so pure

Sorry to anyone who follows me that I’ve not posted here since January 😭 have an Andrea

💗💗💗

guys i feel normal about this. so normal.

I need to plan out a time to reread the walking dead and induce the hyperfixation again

not the cannibalism 😭🤢

ik it’s accurate to how an apocalypse would play out but it always shocks me

ok yeah im enjoying daryl dixon much more than i did dead city
