Señor Dixon Goes To Spain?
Let’s indulge in some wild speculating, based exclusively on hypotheticals and wishful thinking.
Tumblr media
Well well well! Daryl might be going to Spain! Excellent choice, it’s a beautiful country, I highly recommend, 10/10. And while it seems to have been officially confirmed just now, it’s not entirely surprising for people who’ve been paying attention.
We heard a reference to Spain already back in TWDDD 1x1 L’âme Perdue, when Isabel showed Daryl around the convent, and they came across a radio. Isabel mentioned that the last person she’d been in contact with was a Spaniard a few months ago:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When seemingly random stuff like this gets brought up, it’s normally fair to assume it’s symbolism or foreshadowing, and I felt pretty certain Spain would come up again sooner or later.
Then later, we meet Losang. He’s the leader of the Nest, and he first came in contact with the nuns and Laurent on his way back from a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. "Compostela" refers to "the field of stars" under which the pilgrims traveled, a reference to the Milky Way.
Tumblr media
That certainly tickles my TD brain, concidering how many astronomical references we have had around Beth, such as Sirius and Venus, satellites and eclipses to name a few.
Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela is one of the world's most famous pilgrimages, and can be reached through a number of different routes. Isabel's convent was situated relatively close to the starting point of the French Way:
Tumblr media
I have a whole theory in my drafts on potential references to El Camino de Santiago from years ago, which I might have to revisit now. Also, keep in mind that the working title of TWDDD was "Pilgrim":
Tumblr media
But the most compelling thing about filming in Spain is an absolutely brilliant discovery made by @galadrieljones back when the final season of FTWD aired. We see Dwight, Morgan and Sherry share a scene, and a series of coordinates were given, supposedly to a P.A.D.R.E repeater station.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In reality, the coordinates corresponded with an area of the Atlantic Ocean near an archipelago called the Canary Islands. The islands, though situated off the coast of west Africa, are Spanish territory, and are famous (and slightly infamous, to be honest) for hordes of pale, vitamin D-deficient, sun-deprived north Europeans like myself as a holiday destination.
Tumblr media
The part of it that’s particularly interesting for TD is that the etymology of the word Canary/Canarias shows it is derived from Latin “Canis”, meaning dog.
Tumblr media
And as we know, that’s Sirius symbolism. Sirius means return/rebirth/resurrection. It refers to Sirius the Dog Star, who returns to the sky one morning right before dawn, after having been “just gone” for some time. I've written many posts on that, here's one.
There’s even a particular type of dog breed that’s associated with the Canary Islands, Presa Canario:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As a fun fact, in TWDDD season 1, Daryl’s original plan to get home involved getting on a boat that would eventually take him to Newfoundland, Canada. That’s also a dog reference, it refers to Newfoundland dogs:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As I’ve been saying, dog symbolism is Sirius symbolism, we learned that from 4x13 Alone. It means return/rebirth/resurrection. Daryl’s plans to return via Newfoundland fell through when he had to save Laurent from walkers, but the symbolism of it is still valid.
And as an extra fun fact, there’s even a location on Newfoundland, Canada, with the name Canary Islands…
Tumblr media
…do with that what you will...
Another really interesting thing about the Canary Islands is that they provide an excellent starting point for transatlantic crossings. This is due to the consistent trade winds that blow from east to west, and sailors have taken advantage of this phenomenon for centuries.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course, we don’t know if Daryl will make it to the Canary Islands, and even if he doesn’t, I’m still exited about Spain, for the reasons laid out above. But the potential reference to the Canary Islands through the coordinates from FTWD is a super interesting clue, and it involves dog/Sirius symbolism, which makes me very happy.
Also, the coordinates from FTWD supposedly led to a repeater station, which is a radio reference. That means, the repeater station is a Sirius symbol both as a radio reference, as well as a dog reference, in that the coordinates in reality points to a stretch of ocean near the Canary Islands.
Whatever the coordinates were meant to signify, they sure as hell didn’t point to no repeater station in Georgia.
So yeah. Might be nothing, but could be something. The off-season is for speculating.

Umm...
So...♾️♾️♾️
I just realised that the last episode of The Ones Who Live will air on RESURRECTION Sunday 🧐😵✝️
That is not a coincidence!
They could have picked any day to release the last episode, but chose that day!
The end (episode 6) of Rick's story beginning again (TOWL season 1 ) is on the same day that Christ's resurrection is being remembered...
The beginning is the end ♾️
When Rick is revealed at the beginning of the season, he is called Christ...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Christ, is that him? Michonne nods yes...
Is it a play on words? Yes.
But it's also an eclipsed/hidden but very deliberate way to mark Rick as Christ.
The last episode will air on Resurrection Sunday. Fulfilling the beginning and end.
Beth and Rick's stories are intertwined often reversed, so this is intriguing to me!
I'm truly starting to think that this is the year we get Beth. Too many things are lining up including the fact that Beth (in real time) has been gone 10 years, while Rick (in show time) has been missing 10 years.
10.10 get well soon.
Do I think we will see Beth or a clue to Beth in episode 6 of TOWL?
Maybe...it's actually very possible due to resurrection Sunday.
Maybe we get a hidden coda, like Morgan, but this time the mask stays on.
Who knows... I'm excited to see, but what I'm more interested in is this beginning end pattern because what comes next (after TOWL ends) in TWD universe will be another resurrection.
Enter The Book of Carol.
Tumblr media
I pine for Summer ☀️
The last episode (episode 6) of TOWL, airing on RESURRECTION SUNDAY, is called The Last Time...
Emily released a song called Last Chance not long after she finished on (ended) TWD.
Many who heard the song Last Chance thought it sounded like Emily was writing it about Daryl and Beth, and she was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Emily's very first album (first = beginning) was released just after she left (ended) The Walking Dead, and Last Chance (which really indicates both Beginning and end) was a single on it. So, could the episode "The Last Time" be the signal for Beth's return or beginning?
It's all starting to line up.
The album, the song "Last Chance," is off, is called This Is War.
Tumblr media
In the comics, Andrea wakes from a gun shot to the head during the war with the Governor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bullet just gazes her but knocks her unconscious. I am convinced Emily was referencing this war in the title of her album.
No doubt, the end of season 1 of Rick and Michonne's story will also lead to a declaration of This Is War with the CRM. I guess we will wait and see for that one, but we know war is building.
Now Rick wasn't the only one marked as Christ, in fact he was the second or "last" one marked as Christ in TOWL Gone.
The first one to be marked as Christ is...
Tumblr media
The sister that was left behind aka a representation of Beth.
Beth was marked as Christ here first (at the beginning of Gone) in the timeline, while Rick was marked as Christ last (near the end of Gone).
We see Rick on-screen before he gets marked as Christ, but Beth gets marked as Christ before we see her.
The time to finally see her again has to be close. Very close.
I also want to add one other extremely unusual thing I discovered, and it's in relation to the X eclipse that is coming up a week and one day after resurrection Sunday on April 8th.
For those who don't know, there will be a solar eclipse on April 8th in the US, and it's been nicknamed the X eclipse, because the path that the eclipse will take, makes an X in conjunction with the path of the last solar eclipse of 2017.
Tumblr media
How is this related to Beth and Daryl?
Well, remember the episode "Find Me" with Leah?
And the solar eclipse they look at together, while Leah all but repeats Beth's line of "Don't you think that's beautiful?"
Tumblr media
The eclipse in "Find Me" is the twin eclipse related to the upcoming eclipse the week after resurrection Sunday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leah was a shadow of Beth, I would now even be bold enough to say she was a blocked or eclipsed version of Beth.
Eclipse means an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.
In other words, the light or reality is hidden from view.
Well... I spent some time figuring out the timeline of this moment where we see the solar eclipse with Leah and Daryl.
And I'm not kidding you. They are looking at a solar eclipse in 2017.
Most commentators on TWD timeline place Rick's disappearance and being taken by the CRM at the 2013 mark.
The episode "Find Me" actually gives us a good calendar to work by in finding out how much time passes from when Rick goes missing up until this eclipse that Daryl and Leah look at.
First, we see Carol say to Daryl...
Tumblr media
It's been 2 years of Daryl looking for Rick.
OK, so Rick went missing at the 2013 mark, and now it's 2015 (two years later)
We then see additional time jumps marked, adding up to 2.5 years...
Tumblr media
Placing us in 2017!
Leah and Daryl's story was a shadow of finding Beth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've talked a bit about how 10's and X's are symbols of Beth's return, so this is an interesting, albeit odd addition to the X symbolism.
10.10 get well soon flipped ♾️ is 01.01 which represents the beginning and end.
Jesus said
‭‭Revelation 22.13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
He also said
Revelation 22.12
Look, I am coming SOON!
X is 10 in Roman numerals, obviously, and we are also coming up to the ten year mark from when Beth "dies."
The current walking dead timeline for Daryl Dixon season 1 places us somewhere in 2023, so a question I have is...will we, at some stage in the future, see Daryl and Beth looking at the X eclipse of 2024 in a fulfillment of the 2017 eclipse...
Emily also wore this hat and posted a caption with it, "Don't F with me today Zombies".
Tumblr media
She posted this back when filming was taking place for season 5, but we never saw the footage reported on from that time.
The crown on the hat is made up of X's that make diamonds, and it combined makes the upside-down pyramids, all of which are related to Beth and Sirius returning.
Make of that what you will.
I'm working on a future post to lay out how both Consumed and Find me are road maps to her return.
Both those episodes focused heavily on Daryl and Carol off together.
She is coming soon... Beth means house of, and she's marked as Christ.
House of Christ.

*dreamy sigh* oh I loved that scene in Coda where Beth threw herself into Daryl’s arms and he just whispered softly to her that he was there and then they sat by a fire later on, her head against his shoulder before asking him how he survived, and he looked softly down and said “To find you.” Then they shared a tender, passionate kiss and the episode ended. 😌
NO YOU’RE DELUSIONAL!!!

I'm so tired of people hating on Beth and Daryl as a couple because they have 0 common sense and critical thinking skills. I swear to freaking God I could write A WHOLE ESSAY about how Beth and Daryl isn't supposed to be controversial/weird.
Let me know if y'all want me to write that cause I fucking will🤣🤣💀

Gifts for Team Delusional on Easter!
Okay so maybe Beth didn't show up in the finale of TOWL (spoiler) but thanks to Emilion Fqs, who attended the French comicon, took some videos, and shared them with us, we still have a LOT of hints to Beth's imminent return.
Like, this is downright ridiculous! 😱

If I made my own story about Beth being found by Anne (Jadis) to become a B for the CRM, would people be interested in her solo story? (Picture for attention)

Reasons I believe Beth and Daryl were intended to be a romantic pairing
30 Days Without An Accident 4x1, Daryl's "It's a damn romance novel" comment. Sure, can be played off like teasing, a little bit of jealousy. But the point is, he notices Beth's relationship with Zach. And for some reason cares enough to comment on it.
30 Days Without An Accident 4x1, the hug. Not just that there was a hug, but that they didn't end the scene with the hug. They ended the scene with Beth's sleeve falling off her shoulder and show her putting it back on, and end with their eye contact after that. If this was meant to be brother/sister, or platonic, vibes then why emphasize an erogenous zone like that? That would be creepy. The writers intended it to be romantic.
I don't find Still 4x12 to be a romantic episode, necessarily. I think that one is just building on their intimacy as friends. I do appreciate their openness with each other on the porch and there are elements of that conversation that I view as romantic (namely, Daryl's expression and nervous fiddling with the knife). However, I can understand how people view their pairing as platonic if they only base that view on this episode.
Alone 4x13 is where they really start hammering in the romance. For starters, Daryl's reaction to Beth stepping in the bear trap. Yes, of course you can say he just didn't want her to get eaten by the walker, but compare how he gets down to the ground with her, rubs her foot, and gives her his body for support - even giving her a piggyback ride - to Carol's foot cramp in 10x18 Find Me. He first eliminates the threat, then he checks on her and shows genuine concern for her injury, and offers her physical support. Daryl loves Carol, she's his best friend, but in Find Me, he just teases her and tells her that she shouldn't have come along.
Alone 4x13 when Beth stops to look at the "Beloved Father" grave, Daryl compassionately picks some flowers and lays it on top of the grave for her, to commemorate Herschel. That is not inherently romantic. He also compassionately gave Carol a Cherokee Rose when she lost Sophia. I just think it is sweet. In the same scene, Beth and Daryl hold hands (admittedly, a little awkwardly, but that is primarily on Daryl) and Beth puts her head on his shoulder.
Alone 4x13 when they are looking at the bodies that are made to look very human (although they're walkers) and Beth argues back at Daryl's joke about dolls with why it's beautiful. She looks at him and asks "Don't you think that's beautiful" and all he does is pensively stare back at her. It's a romantic cliche and the pause with the intense eye contact seems to imply that his thoughts are that she is beautiful. At the very least, he sees something in the way she thinks about the world that is beautiful.
Alone 4x13 Daryl breaks his silence thinking about telling Beth that she's beautiful with the shiptease after action patch-up tv trope with "C'mon, let's get you patched up." She sits on the table and he wraps her foot up from the bear trap.
Alone 4x13 how he watches her sing in the doorway, and then how he pushes her buttons about the music "Well there ain't no jukebox, so... keep singing"
Alone 4x13 the bridal carry romance trope into the kitchen for the cute little redneck dinner Daryl set up for Beth. Plus his excitement to show it to her, hence the "I'm going as fast as I can" before he picks up her heard outside the doorway.
Alone 4x13 dinner conversation about what changed Daryl's mind about there still being good people. Beth changed his mind. If it wasn't romantic, why couldn't he just say "you're gave me hope / you showed me there are still good people." But the teasing, the repeated asking, the smile and eye contact, the nervousness from Daryl and then the self-realizing "oh" that is more like a romantic confession than anything else. Plus the fact that the confession is interrupted, another TV trope in romance. Plus the fact that in Alone, Daryl & Beth are foils to Sasha & Bob - who we know for a fact were canon. Difference is Sasha & Bob are reunited by the end of Alone, while Beth & Daryl are separated.
Alone 4x13 he chased after her for hours, from night to day.
Alone 4x13 he was ready to kill Len for disrespecting her "Some bitch must have got you all worked up" "You lost yourself a piece of tail" "I bet it was a little one too, they don't last long out here." If Joe didn't stop the knife, I bet Daryl would have ended Len a whole lot sooner.
In 5x8 Coda, when she starts rushing back to Dawn, to say goodbye to Noah, Daryl tries to stop her.
Coda 5x8 he cries over her body
Coda 5x8 he bridal carries her body out of the hospital, sobbing
Them 5x10 he shuts down with the group. Carol knows there is more to his sadness and she is trying to understand it. She assumes Beth saved him (she did, in a way). Rick knows that Daryl lost something deeper than a friend, hence "I know you lost something back there"
I am going to stop there because that is just the freshest for me.
People don't like this ship because of the age gap, or simply because they ship Daryl with someone else. Here's the thing, I don't believe Daryl was written to be the same age as Norman in season 1. He looks between 26 - 32 in the first season; and he can pass for that until the latter half of season 4, where he starts to really look more Norman's age. I don't think he is meant to be more than 36 in season 4. And honestly, I don't have a problem with the age gap when Beth is a legal adult and it is the flipping apocalypse. With all that said, I think if they were really intending this to be a brother / sister pairing, then it is creepy and there was too much tension and chemistry to make it platonic / familial.

An Upcoming Easter Miracle, Foreshadowed By Jesus in 6x10…?
And just to be clear, 6x10 The Next World was when Jesus was frist introduced to the TWDU...
The opening minutes of TOWL 1x5 mirrored TWD 6x10 like a carbon copy.
We had cold drinks:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had finding food in cars:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had drinking soda sexily:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had spearmint and baking soda flavored toothpaste:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had interrupted sleep:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right after Rick and Daryl find the food truck in 6x10, Jesus suddenly appears before them. He comes out of nowhere, and as he does, he delivers this dialogue:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ten walkers in 11 minutes. As Noah's t-shirt taught us, 11 can be read "one one". So it could be 10 and 2 (one + one = 2), and it could also be 10x11 as in a reference to 10x11 Morningstar. Jesus was referred to as the Morningstar in Revelation 22. Read this post for more on why that's significant, and how it relates to the Slabtown clock. And keep in mind that Sirius is a Morningstar, which is fitting, because we got a surprising appearance by Father Gabriel, a one-eyed Sirius figure.
Now, I've been talking a lot about licence plates lately. Here we see another interesting exemple:
LK8-4167
Tumblr media
And the reason it's interesting is because we've seen it before, in 5x9 WHAWGO:
Tumblr media
In WHAWGO, we see it practically as we simultanously hear Beth singing Struggling Man, as this was the last episode Beth appeared in (in Tyrese's fever dream). And back when season 5 aired, someone clever in TD (I'm sorry I don't remember who, it's been like a decade) theorized that it could be a reference to Luke 8:
Tumblr media
Why Luke 8, is that particular part relevant? Well...
Tumblr media
...there is that part about Jesus raising a dead girl, I suppose that could be relevant...especially now, just before Easter...
In this post I talk about Officer Lichari's Dodge Magnum and why it's such an interesting vehicle for TD, and in this post I talk more about the symbolism around the rams.
I'm bringing that up again, because the car where Rick and Michonne found the RAMen noodles was in fact a Dodge:
Tumblr media
...and the Dodge logo is a ram...
Tumblr media
And we did see some very fierce taxidermy rams in TOWL 1x5:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...so yeah! Happy Easter I guess! Let's keep an eye out for suspiscious resurrections!

Daryl’s Pilgrimage: Why Daryl Dixson Season 2's Working Title Was Pilgrim
Most of us know that “Pilgrim” was the working title of DD season 2. I believe they changed it to The Book of Carol to throw yet another bone to Carylers because they will not be getting romantic Carly. No matter what the reason, you can’t escape that Season 2 is about Daryl’s pilgrimage.  We have gotten some CRAZY hints that this pilgrimage is all about finding Beth.
Exhibit A:  Check out the EXACT matching colors between the signage for DD 2 Pilgrim and Emily’s dress in the video for B or C for effort which came out last Fall during the same time DD 2 "Pilgrim" was being filmed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meaning of the word pilgrim:
A pilgrim (from the Latin peregrinus) is a traveler (literally one who has come from afar) who is on a journey to a holy place. 
So, what is Daryl’s pilgrimage? It’s his journey to a "holy" place that will make him “hole”. A place that has that “something” he first went out looking for.  A place that will contain his happy ending.
The Latin form of “peregriuns” is used for a another famous hunter, the The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known simply as the peregrine. 
Tumblr media
Two interesting facts about these birds are that they mate for life and often travel far, usually to a “high place”, to nest. They have been known to even build their nest in skyscrapers.  This bird is similar in coloring to the stuffed penguin Daryl finds on the boat in episode one. 
Exhibit B:  The Camino de Santiago
This is the pilgrimage mentioned in episode 6 of DD season 1.  Here is a little background info on the pilgrimage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let’s talk about the Hebrew root of the English name, James:
Tumblr media
@angelthefirst1 and @frangipanilove have both done wonderful posts about how Daryl=Jacob/Israel right down to being tied to Leah even though he never loved her. Then, Daryl/Israel had to work another 7 years for his “Rachel” or in Daryl’s case, Beth. Another point here is that Jacob leaves his homeland and journeys a long distance, to his mother's people, and there he finds his love, Rachel. It's on this journey that Jacob has the Jacob's ladder dream and names the spot where his head laid during the dream, Beth-el.
So, you could say that this pilgrimage is the Way of Jacob(Daryl).  The route starts in various points in France as seen above but ends at the Santiago de Compostela where St. James' remains are said to be. 
Compostela means Field of Stars. It comes from the Latin “campus stellae” and is based on the stars of the Milky Way that, according to legend since the Middle Ages, had been outlined by the apostle St. James and followed by pilgrims to reach his tomb.
So,  pilgrims follow these stars from France, across the Pyrenees Mountains to find their way to Santiago de Compostela. This ties in perfectly with the Sirius “Dog Star” symbolism we see throughout TWD. 
Daryl Dixon season 2 is all about Daryl’s pilgrimage.  This spiritual journey will restore Daryl’s faith in God and lead him to his “happy ending” which will be a family with Beth. Just as it was Jacob's children who are the fathers of all of the nation of Israel, I believe it will be Daryl and Beth's children or their descendants who will "save" what is left of humanity.

I was on IG and the bethyl hug picture popped up so I clicked on it. And it was from this TWD fanpage, but the official TWD page follows them!! That screams suspicious to me, it pretty much was posted the same day they posted the "Choose who you'd bring back" thing. For reference, this picture was posted 2 hrs before.
So many little crumbs lately 😅
