What are they doing to Jesus?

Just me or this season have they kinda turned Jesus into a whiny little baby? Is that to make us stop liking him so we are less sad when they probably kill him off next episode? And it seems they are setting up to have Tara take over for him at Hilltop. And maybe Aaron to be the new ninja thanks to Jesus’s training.

Why is he so whiny now anyway? Is it cuz he wanted Maggie to lead and he is hurt she left? Does he feel betrayed cuz he confided in her and looked up to her and she abandoned him, which triggers his sad, lonely upbringing? Ah, I bet that’s it.

And what’s up with Jaaron? I don’t hate it, but I really felt like Jesus and Daryl had some very significant scenes together like maybe Gimple or whoever was building toward something, and Jesus was adopting this therapist role, this season though, Angela Kang has been like, “Nope! Let’s throw all of that out the window and spin it the way I want it. Disregard all the previous developments and stuff.” Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE what Kang is doing with the show except for this. The way they are writing Jesus this season….

What's with the knives bruh

playing Walking Dead: No Man’s Land and I’ve got some observations about the loading screen.

1. Daryl caught in the middle between Maggie and Jesus and Michonne and Rick. The four all have their back to us. Daryl is only one facing us, crouched, like he’s caught in the middle of things.

2. Jesus and Rick facing out toward the horizon. Maggie and Michonne got their backs, but heads are turned toward each other.

3. Daryl has a duel pair of knives. No crossbow.

I’m thinking well, Rick is gonna die. I mean, we all can pretty much assume that right? It’s not even a spoiler.

Also, our precious, undervalued, underused, sweet baybeh Jesus…I think…we may really lose him…when he has so much potential (AND UGH I JUST SHIP HIM WITH DARYL SO MUCH IT HURTS).

Maggie and Michonne…tension fo show, which we getting on the show.

Darryl, like the youngest child in a dysfunctional family, probably wants to keep everyone together. Or, like Beth predicted way back in the day, is gonna be the only one to come out of whatever’s ahead.

Man, killing Jesus. What a waste. THEY'D BETTER NOTTTT.

Daryl needs a hug. Also, this goes on tangents.

I've been rewatching some older seasons of Walking Dead and you know, it got me thinking: of course Darryl wants Neagan dead after being tortured by him at the Sanctuary, and of course for murdering Glenn and Abraham. I've realized some of it, maybe a bigger part, is out of his guilt, and I think his guilt goes even deeper and farther back than the Saviors. I rewatched the episode from season 5 where Beth died. I think Daryl blames himself not just for Glenn's death but Beth as well. I think it's a big part of why he is so devoted to Maggie. Also, side note, anytime I revisit the Bethyl days (as in when they were traveling together. I wasn't a hardcore shipper on Tumblr at the time it aired, but I remember watching it with my mom and we both being like "I hope Beth is of age cuz these 2 got some serious chemistry fo real, and DARYL NEEDS SOMEONE NICE IN HIS LIFE CUZ EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKS." Haha...anyway) I feel such loss for Daryl. Daryl says in that one episode to her, good doesn't survive and BOOM, foreshadow and we didn't even know it yet. You sentenced Beth right there BB. ALSO, I wish DARYL realized how effing good HE is. You know, this season, he's opened up again and talking more. Part might be from Angela Kang's doing, but part might actually have been intended by Gimple. Like, Gimple said to Norman, don't worry, Daryl will have a lot to say again, one day. I wonder if Gimple was referring to the time jump. Cuz before now, Daryl had gone through some shit you know. Your boy needs time and therapy to heal that. I wonder if all that time living in Hilltop, Jesus was his therapy? I think that cuz Jesus has kind of acted as a therapist to other characters. I feel like he's the perfect person to get Daryl to open up, especially after what he's witnessed and done for him. I also feel like when these two do get screen time together, they do have some significant scenes or stares and I'm like "whatisthiswhatisthiswhatisthis." It just seems like it's intentional. GOD. I want Daryl to have someone like Jesus. Can we get a scene with the two of them together again soon please? Can we talk about what happened in the Sanctuary please? Can we see Jesus put a hand on Daryl's arm and be like "Daryl, you are good." OMG, PLEASE?????? I hope they freaking address it all soon. Christ, if they kill off Jesus and we never get anything more from these two together I'm gonna feel so.....BAMBOOZLED.

spoilers, speculations, and....spazzing.

Okay, so several posts down, I ranted how I think it’s lame when TWD fans or ex-fans lose their minds and give up the show just cuz a character on it dies, especially because that’s what the show has been doing from the beginning: killing people, good and bad, people we like, people we didn’t like, people we thought still had big things ahead of them, etc. It seemed like since Negan came along, people suddenly had a problem with it and omg, I’m going into another rant. That was not the point of this post.

Now if Rick leaves, I’ll be sad. Very sad. I love Rick episodes. But I’ll be okay. He just lost his son, you know. He’s lived through...a lot. I’ll be okay.

If Michonne leaves, well, that better only be cuz Rick leaves. And ever since Black Panther, I’m like “There’s no way this chick is gonna stick around when she’s making that Marvel money now.” So I’ve basically had some time to accept that she will probably leave at some point.

Now these two leaving, that is gonna be heavy. 

Also, I hear the actress who plays Maggie has got a new show coming out, so I expect she will leave. Another blow, but...I can accept it. 

But I swear to god. If they kill Jesus. I know, I know, he could be dying. But I just refuse to accept it until I see the episode.  

But if they really, truly kill him off.....it will be like a light going out on the show. It was already bad enough we barely got him last season. 

LISTEN, I will still watch the show but OMG. THERE WILL BE FURY. He is JESUS. YOU CAN’T KILL JESUS. 

Um, that’s all I wanna say. 

Caryl is so FETCH?

So I think I’ve touched on it before, but after last night’s Caryl moment, I have to touch on it again, the fact that I think the so-called “romance” between Daryl and Carol is a complete delusion. Now when I ship, I ship HARD, and I get reeeeaaallly aggravated when people say,“THEY’RE LIKE BROTHER AND SISTER,” but….in this case. I have to say it. Carol and Daryl clearly have a brotherly/sisterly relationship.

Daryl has not have romantic chemistry with anyone on the show. I’m kinda convinced that Daryl has never had a romantic relationship PERIOD. I can believe he MAYBE got laid in the past, and if so he was probably drinking and/or Merle hooked it up, but even that, I am not so sure. Daryl is a loner and has been his whole life. Not only that, but a survivor, and he has had to survive on his own. I don’t see him having much of an opportunity to experience love. I kinda see him as a Peter Pan type in that he doesn’t allow people to get TOO close to him. I think the closest he has allowed anyone to slip through the cracks is Beth. Beth was cute, got under his skin, and was the only good, pure thing in his life, and that was the closest we have ever seen Daryl flirt. There was a spark there, but alas, THAT WAS A FIRE NEVER TO BE KINDLED.

Daryl and Carol have a bond and it is BEAUTIFUL. I can agree with shippers 100%. They are loyal to one another, they joke around, she’s there for him (comforting him over Beth) and I love how he looks out for her–their tender, physical moments get to me, and I think it’s sweet…but it reminds me so much of how an older brother looks out for his sister, including that touching reunion they had after Terminus. I just don’t feel like it’s anything more than family. I feel like Carol could not get what she NEEDS from Daryl , being the lone wolf that he is and his social skills kinda suck. Also, when she teasingly said something like,“wanna fool around,” they both laughed about it like,“PFFFTTT. YA RIGHT,” like they both knew it was ridiculous; I think if Daryl’s feelings toward her were romantic, he would have been a little more embarrassed or standoffish. Friends joke about crap like that…I certainly wouldn’t be bold enough to joke about that sort of thing toward someone I seriously harbored feelings for…but maybe that’s me, haha. Plus we’ve had so many hugs between those two and over 6 seasons, it has not progressed into anything more interesting than that (i.e. alternatively, we have had Richonne build us up to them getting together, from despising and not trusting one another, to comrades, to friends, to family, to lovers), so the interactions between have been rather stagnant.

Plus we got Tobin. That’s his name, right? Now he COULD be just Carol’s version of Jessie, but what he said to her, that WAS romantic. He sees Carol as MORE than a mom to the community, he sees her a strong, SEXEH LADAAAAAY. Now that’s hot. That’s what Carol needs to hear, baby…

Back to Daryl, up until recently, I thought he was asexual. I think that’s part of the reason why I don’t see him with Carol, because I didn’t ever see him really FITTING with anybody….and then Jesus came along. NOW I COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG, but being that Jesus is an openly gay character and him and Daryl already started on the wrong foot, wouldn’t it be intriiiiiguing if Jesus started putting the moves on Daryl, and watching Daryl react to this kid that he loathes plus have his sexuality come into question. Daryl being a closeted homosexual would certainly explain why it is so hard for me to picture him with any female ever. Plus I noticed Jesus giving Daryl a lot of pointed stares….I think it is possible that there may eventually be something there, even if it turns out to be one-sided….

ANYWAY, my point being….

Jesus loves...⛪️❤️

Jesus so ships Richonne. Look at that. He kinda smiles too...(p.s. He totes ships Tara and Denise [Tarnise??? Dera? Idk, Lol] AND DONT THINK I DONT CATCH THOSE HARD, POINTED STARES AT DARYL, JESUS, I KNOW YOU ARE SHIPPING YOURSELF WITH HIM)

I have a crush on Jesus....

...and I am shipping him with Daryl. It just works for me.
