worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

Reblogged deadheaddaisy
shoutout to the fanfic so fucked up so smutty so particular to canon that it’s impossible to turn into an original novel. when something exists solely for making other fans eat glass. and you can only tell a very particular kind of person at a very particular time in their life about it after reading, creating a unique warrior bond forever

yes my favorite type of fanfiction consists of characters getting tenderly cared for and comforted after a lifetime of being forced to suffer alone in silence, no this doesn't say anything about me

Daryl's Character Development
Carol is widely known as TWD's most transformed character for good reason, but Daryl's transformation over the years was pretty incredible too. He started off emotionally stunted, conditioned from a life of physical abuse and neglect to react to everything with anger. But then he gradually learned to trust others and form lifelong relationships with them. He wore his heart on his sleeve, mentored kids, and told the woman who gave him the courage to find himself in the first place that he loved her. He became, in every sense of the word, a man of honor, all on the flagship show.
It's important to talk about the changes in Daryl's maturity. That's what made his story stand out from the rest. However, it does him a huge disservice to first of all, pretend like those changes only began after he was spun off on his own show and second, to re-shade his story as a literal coming of age story. Daryl was a middle-aged man when we first met him, and he's a middle-aged man now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Quite the opposite. But there is something extremely wrong with suggesting that Daryl was a kid or young adult during the early years of the show because it erases the context of his childhood abuse, makes excuses for him having inappropriate interactions with young girls/women, and encourages more ageism when he interacts with women his own age like Carol.
I rooted for Daryl because he took huge strides to overcome a traumatic past instead of staying trapped in the cycle with his dad and his brother. He chose to be different, something I wish the men in my life would've chosen too. I want to root for him again. I want to see the man who said multiple times that he knew where he belonged on my screen again. I want the payoff of seeing him and Carol together romantically because the love and trust they built with each other over the years wasn't something either of them thought they were capable of before, but they earned it anyway, and it's too deep to replicate with anybody else.
I do not want Daryl's story to keep getting rewritten for an audience of one while everybody else keeps getting hurt because of it. An age-regressed hero who thinks he's taking a gap year makes absolutely no sense for a character who was loved for his emotional intelligence, loyalty, and honor. It makes no sense for AMC's bottom line either. So please, bring back the man of honor, so that I can come back to him too.

Filming that scene by the lake with Norman was the most difficult scene on this show that I’ve ever had to get myself through. It was an absolute mixed bag of Carol and Melissa. I knew going in that it was going to be difficult… those words on the page, the first of our last two scenes together, the impending finality was feeling very real.
Once I sat on that bench, once Norman sat next to me, that was it for me… I knew I couldn’t get out of my own way. To battle it would’ve been a mistake. Come what may, it had to be honest. It was Carol with Daryl, and it was me with Norman, and I will miss them both. It’s a beautiful scene about friendship and trust. I loved it.
We did several takes of the scene where we last see Daryl & Carol together, when they tell one another “I love you.” One of the things I love about working together with Norman is that we don’t rehearse, which was the case with this scene. Each take was a little different. These are the last words we hear them say to each other. In this final scene, I was struck by Daryl’s deliberateness to tell Carol that he loves her, the stillness he held as he said it, and then her reaction to seemingly try to intercept the weight of it, tossing it back to him lightly, playfully, for the road ahead. It’s a good way to remember them, taking care of one another.
