well, at least there's one strong ship amc hasn't sunk.

Lol 😭

one last thing before i disappear for the night, just bc i didn't want to forget to put out this reminder:

don't just cancel amc+ and boycott 11c. don't watch any of it. don't watch the 700 different extended universes. fear, beyond, origins, up, down, left, right, whatever the fuck else they have now. don't watch "exclusive insider info." stay off their youtube channels. don't retweet/reblog promotional material. amc has spread the twd universe out super thin, using the marvel method of "if it's part of the universe, someone will watch it!" prove them wrong. i've joked that twd is the only show amc seems to have, but honestly, they've been pumping out content for the sake of pumping out content for years now

carylers are not the only ppl they've screwed. they've been dangling a carrot out for rick stans/richonne shippers since the start of s9. they've completely fucked over maggie stans/gleggie shippers by putting negan and maggie on the same team (and same spin-off??). they have introduced and then immediately sidelined a shitton of characters, over and over again, a lot of whom are women, queer, or poc. they've sidelined ACTUAL BILLED ACTORS (ahem, melissa, ahem), or promised bigger roles to characters who have been there for years, only to pretty much forget their existence. melissa getting kicked off the spin-off is not a caryl-centric issue. it is a catalyst to highlight a bigger problem

it would be so easy for this to turn into a shipwar--the network would LOVE IT if that's what this dissolved into--but for once in our gd lives we are all on the same side here, even we aren't all aware of it yet

carylers are heading this project, sure, but listen--everyone in the twd fandom is here bc some part of it resonates with them, some part has their heart. well, creative control is being taken away from the actors, writers, and showrunners who care about it as much as we do. we're all victims here

so make them regret it. if you want to watch twd, pirate it. don't watch it on amc or netflix (or other streaming, idk if it's on different services outside of the usa)

in the scheme of the everything that is happening in the world all the time, this might seem like a relatively small and petty issue, but the truth is that any demonstration against a larger establishment that ends in victory becomes a model for others in the future. today we fight for melissa, and kang, and characters we love, but if we accomplish that, then tomorrow we can fight for wage equality for actresses, or fight streaming services when they make more and more surcharges despite being billion dollar companies, etc

small things matter. they matter a fucking lot. so cancel, boycott, unsubscribe, and while you're at it, lower your pitchforks aimed at each other, and point them in the direction of the people who deserve it

we are so much stronger as a unit, my dudes, so let's all sit down at the table together. we're serving the rich for supper

/soapbox (for now)

current ladies of the walking dead (for @peletiersdixon)

⛄ Happy Holidays, Carylers! ⛄

“when I was a kid… I asked my grandpa once if he ever killed any germans in the war. he wouldn’t answer. he said that was grown-up stuff. so… so I asked if the germans ever tried to kill him. but he got real quiet. he said he was dead the minute he stepped in to enemy territory. every day he woke up and told himself, rest in peace; now get up and go to war. and then after a few years of pretending he was dead… he made it out alive. that’s the trick of it, I think. we do what we need to do and then, we get to live. but no matter what we find in DC, I know we’ll be okay. because this is how we survive. we tell ourselves… that we are the walking dead.”

Can't believe TWD is really coming to an end in season 11 💔

But yay on the new Daryl & Carol spinoff 💕

Hopefully it leads into the Rick movies 👀

Did anyone catch this article by Hollywood Reporter? It basically goes into how lucrative TWD is and ending it a big deal yaddada but it says that the plan to end the show at season 11 and have a direct Daryl and Carol spin off has been the plan since 2018!!! WTH!!! THAT'S CRAZY YALL!!! That's before Rick left! So this is before Angela Kang! Caryl has serious 100% always been the end game! We aren't delusion old ladies imagining a love story between a old lady and her son like so many ppl are telling us we are!!! These two have been inlove since season 3 and both so broken they can't make sense out of it! And finally we get the payoff!!
