Cool. Comments like this make me never want to touch this fic again.
Like many of us I'm doing a TWD rewatch, looking for all those pre-relationship moments, and a great little one in 4x01 is after Michonne arrives back at the prison -- there's a moment where Daryl tells her "Glad to see you're in one piece." HOWEVER, when he says that he turns to look directly at Rick. Who in turn quickly looks away, almost bashful.
You can just imagine what Daryl had to put up with, with Rick in those early days. So I had to fic it.
Two things that got Rick to say the word 'fuck' on TWD:
- A compound of cannibals hell bent on killing and eating everyone he cares about
- This guy
Richonne edit to Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy when?
The moment when Michonne finds Jadis' information about Alexandria, when she rips it into pieces, you can just feel the rage and heartbreak as she finally destroys the thing that kept her husband scared and broken and trapped, kept him away from his family for years, kept her children's father imprisoned. Some flimsy sheets of paper and a cruel woman. It's like Michonne is finally ripping the last of the chains off Rick, finally, fully setting him free and bringing him home, and Danai Gurira's acting in that scene is phenomenal, no notes.

Fuck dating apps, I want to meet someone the old fashioned way (my village is being raided and I offer myself in place of the other villagers but a reformed warlord watching from the bushes is so enamored by me that she kicks the ever loving shit out of every single raider there so I tag along with her despite her protests)
Aside from TOWL having a straight up fantastic ending, I'm just so glad that it had an ending.
No stingers. No surprise cameos. No cliffhangers.
Just. A happy, narratively satisfying ending.

yknow it's a real shame that romans didn't have access to australia specifically for augury reasons. i really wish i could have seen a roman augur have to deal with australian birds. like imagine trying to properly interpret an omen from a fuckin. cassowary
loving that the general consensus here is that "the omen when you see a cassowary is that you are about to die of cassowary"
God, can you imagine what Rick would've been like if he'd been there for Michonne's pregnancy? He went to so much effort to find her toothpaste - and not just any sort, the exact flavour she said was her favourite - I can just see him off on a two day scavenger hunt just to bring her back a jar of olives she mentioned craving.
I'm gonna be real, I really liked Gabriel and Anne's relationship, storyline and heartbreaking conclusion. I love it when absolute weirdos find each other and fall in love.
Jadis referred to Michonne as Rick's wife, because during the years that Rick was trying to escape the CRM he kept telling Jadis it was to return to his daughter and his wife.

I'm convinced rick had to sleep with Jadis to keep Alexandria safe. Like at first she had this fantasy she had saved rick and he's all happy and grateful and he forgets his wife and kids he's so grateful and he and Jadis live in CRMLand together the end. But reality works out different and she gets nasty and then he is basically being raped. That would explain the panic attack he has with Michonne during that love scene it's maybe a flashback and Michonne knows he's still hiding something from her. I hope it's not this but I dunno 😔
I also hope it's not that, but also ... I don't know ...
I'm not sure if Jadis had a fantasy of a happy little life with Rick. Her pervy nature seemed more rooted in a fantasy of control, humiliation subjugation, as rape fantasies tend to be. She liked the idea of owning 'things' and to her Rick is just another thing for her to possess, as evidenced with how she casually told Michonne that she'd 'lay with him after', after Michonne was finished with him. (as if she could ever be)
And I can't help thinking of Gabriel, wondering if Janis still - if ever - felt genuine tenderness towards him, and if maybe that contributed to her keeping Alexandria secret.
The comics had a lot more horrible sexual assault that was either lessened or competed erased from the TV show - something I'm more than okay with. However, if we're now in a show where Rick can say 'fuck', what other plot points can be explored?
Either way, 8/9 years is a long time to be continually sexually harassed and would've def contributed to Rick's almost complete mental destruction. However, if you're right and that was the reason specifically that Rick had a panic attack while with Michonne, I will claw my own face off.
Jadis stop being a fucking creep
Also, anyone else worried about what deal they had to keep Alexandria secret?
