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.
