Devil's Haircut - (Carnid)
Summary: The last time Carl got a haircut was before his mother Lori died. He's finally ready for another one, and he's entrusted the process in Enid's hands.
Masterlist!! Taglist!!
Tumblr media
Pairing: Carl Grimes / Enid Rhee
Warnings: Talk of parental death
Era: Not specific, but sometime around s10, pretending the Grimes family is still intact.
Word Count: 1.3k
~
"It's getting a bit long for the summer don't you think?" Enid sat cradling the boy in his own bed, whilst she ran her fingers through his hair, tangled from a long day of physical labour.
"Perhaps, but I don't mind it." He knew what was coming next. It didn't bother him as much as it used to, nevertheless he'd still sometimes catch himself accidentally holding his breath when the topic came up.
She ruffled his hair around, "Maybe I could give it a trim for you sometime. God knows when you last had a haircut." God might have known, but so did Carl, in fact, he remembered the occasion quite vividly. It was one of those memories he had clutched to in fear of losing after his mother died, she'd given him his last haircut.
After the tragedy, Carl had racked his brain for every reminder of his mother, mentally cataloguing it all, his memory was the only thing that wouldn't abandon him until he himself abandoned the world. For years he had spent hours each day making sure there wasn't one thing he'd forgotten about her.
As much as Carl wanted to honour her existence by telling everyone every story he had, part of him wanted to keep the small pieces of her that only he knew, right in his pocket. As if to remind him that she wasn't just stories, but she had actually, at some point in time, been tangible.
He could tell the story of his last haircut as much as he'd like, people would understand it, some had even been witness in the moment. But no one could understand how it felt to be protected by his mother's touch, comforted and soothed within such a trivial activity. In those last days before the world was ultimately doomed, whilst there was still hope, she'd kept only the most fragile of touches for her son, wanting to protect and shield him from what had seemed to be the short-term decay of the world. So that maybe, once the world had fixed itself, he wouldn't remember the global panic that froze everyone, only that his mother loved him.
He hadn't had another haircut since, he feared that if he let someone else handle him in that way, the memories would intertwine and his mother's touch would become watered down and worthless. It scared him.
~
Carl looked up from the poster he'd been blankly staring at, welcomed back to Earth by Enid's smiling face. God he loved her, sometimes he wanted to shout it from where everyone would hear, but other times he just wished to engulf her in the fact, in the comfort of his own room.
"You don't have to cut it if you don't want, it was just a suggestion. But, I do need you to help with mine tomorrow. Think you can do that?" Carl nodded his head. She planted a quick kiss on his forehead and thanked him.
They spent the rest of the evening doing their own activities, by each other's side, with only small chunks of conversation being exchanged every so often. They enjoyed the mildness of one another's company.
~
Enid set up on the front porch, clippers and fine combs, she carried a chair out the front door. Carl followed quickly behind, asking "So what do I actually have to do?" She sighed and replied: "Don't worry, it's nothing too laborious, just a trim."
He awkwardly approached the scissors, as if he'd never seen a pair before in his life. It took him a couple minutes, but he soon began feeling around Enid's head with his hands, reassuring himself that there was no possibility of screwing up.
She didn't rush him, and let him take his time. Enid enjoyed the closeness, and the domestic nature of the activity, it made her smile. She'd told Carl neatness didn't matter, she didn't mind whether it was raggedy or uneven, she'd live. At least it would be cut.
There was still hope inside of her that the act of cutting her hair would bring Carl around to letting her reciprocate the action on him. As she hoped, the further they progressed, the more slick his touches became, and the more carefree he was with the scissors, he might have actually been enjoying himself.
~
"Okay I'm done." Carl dusted off Enid's shoulders and let her come inside with him so she could view the final product. He looked proud of his work as she played around with her hair in the mirror.
Enid turned around and smiled into a kiss on his cheek. She pulled away to look at his face. Upon matching her stare, his gaze softened, "You know, maybe a small trim wouldn't hurt." Enid was ecstatic that he'd finally confirmed her this privilege.
She was quick to have him pulled away from her, as she led him back out to the porch. He sat down on the seat Enid had been sat in earlier, and she eyed up and down the length of his hair, deciding where would be safest to cut.
~
Carl wasn't even thinking of saying yes until he'd finished with Enid's hair. He'd seen the neighbours strolling past the house, quickly looking at the pair of them, only to smile and look away, as if they knew how sacred that moment was, even before Carl did.
He realised that these were the moments he wanted to outweigh the major events in his life, even though by comparison these ones were microscopic in importance. He wanted to make memories that didn't just bring joy upon reflection, but the ones that had also been joyous in the moment.
He didn't let these thoughts over-complicate the event, he sat patiently, feeling Enid take to his hair, double-checking every move she made. The segments of silence were constantly broken by pieces of playful conversation, which brought the pair to laughter. It was a peaceful environment, and Carl felt as though the interaction was encased by a small bubble, which no harm could penetrate.
~ Enid put the scissors down and took one final glance at her completed handiwork before telling Carl she had finished. He didn't immediately rise, he was still savouring the last of it, but as Enid followed him back into the bathroom, she was almost as excited as he was.
Carl took one look at himself in the mirror before letting out a single smiling breath. He could barely notice a difference in length and style, although he had to admit the load felt a lot lighter, and would do him much better in the increasingly warm oncoming weather.
"Do you like it?" Enid asked, the few seconds of silence had been too much for her, awaiting his feedback was painful.
"Yeah, you did good, really good." He looked at her once more, taking visual screenshots of the moment, that would last forever in his memory.
~
The thought of his mother didn't even hit him until well after the event had ceased, and the two of them were preparing a Grimes family dinner in the kitchen. But upon taking one glance at her, Carl concluded that he didn't mind that his mother's memory was beginning to become entangled by hers, in the end all his memories boiled down to love, and he loved her now more than ever.

Description of the Daryl Spinoff
This came out just a few days ago. Apparently, people are freaking out about it (’cuz, you know, the TWD fandom is known for being super calm about spoilers  😆) and specifically saying there will be another Leah-like love interest.
Tumblr media
Here’s a link you can read where people are having meltdowns about it:
https://twitter.com/MrsGrimesGrant/status/1582150994477342721
I thought I’d post some of the discussion from our group.
@bethgreeneprevails​:
I don’t see anything in this that says he’s getting a relationship. Where are people getting that from? It’s very vague and sounds like he’s going to make some new friends. It would also make sense about him being conflicted if Beth is there.
@twdmusicboxmystery​:
I agree. They’re jumping to conclusions. I do think I know where it’s coming from, and while I disagree, I find it interesting. We always say the GA doesn’t pick up on TD symbolism. But, in a lot of ways they do, they just don’t draw the correct conclusions about it.
What stands out to me is that they capitalize the word “Odyssey.” That tells me we can use the Odysseus/Ulysses story as a template for the spinoff. And that already makes sense. He leaves home and his family and then has a lot of trouble and adventure trying to get back again.
But Odysseus doesn’t have tons of love interests while on his journey. He has a couple of affairs, and you could argue the Siren thing, but I kinda think Leah was already his siren. I don’t think they’ll do that storyline again. If nothing else, as I’ve harped on in the past, the writers have a pattern of using a non-soulmate relationship that plays out right before the character finally ends up with their soulmate. We saw this with Richonne, Carzekiel, Sashraham, and even Carnid. And in none of those was there a second, non-soulmate love interest. They already did this for Daryl, so they won’t do it again. And his soulmate (clearly Beth) should be arriving very soon.
Now, in terms of where this is coming from, I think it’s the line about Daryl figuring out where he belongs. Most recently and directly, it was Leah who asked him this. “Where do you belong, Daryl?” And I think that’s why people are saying there will be a second Leah. But this is short sighted.
The other episode that jumps to mind that it echoes is Home, 3x10. In that case, Daryl said this line to Merle. After realizing he belonged with his family at the prison, he walks away from Merle. Merle asks where he’s going and Daryl answers, “back where I belong.” So, this line isn’t exclusively applicable to romantic relationships. It’s about who Daryl considers to be family. He always belongs with them. And he very specifically did NOT choose Leah as his family. Just saying. In that case, he chose Rick. Or, looking for Rick’s body, over her.
So my point is that assuming this is indicative of another romance for Daryl is flawed logic.
In terms of “will this be Beth,” I just want to point out that there is very little that would keep Daryl from going home to Alexandria. Most of us think he will leave because one of the kids, probably Judith, will be taken. Possibly RJ too. But once he’s found them, why wouldn’t he just go back home? If there’s any chance Michonne is going to return, and he has no reason to think she’s dead, then he needs to be there and to keep her kids there. But then he’s also very loyal to others there like Carol (who we know won’t be going with him) Aaron, Gabriel, Maggie, etc. So, why wouldn’t he return?
In my opinion, only a stronger relationship than the ones waiting for him back home would keep him away. I’ll admit, that could be Rick. But other than Rick, the only one would be Beth. And there's that soulmate pattern. Despite the Rickyl shippers, Rick is not Daryl's soulmate.  😉 And all the symbolism we’ve noticed over the seasons has pointed to Beth being part of the CRM storyline. And we know Daryl will be going to confront the CRM in some capacity. So… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@galadrieljones​:
VERY light spoilers ahead: I love your comments, @twdmusicboxmystery​, because I had the same thoughts. I zeroed in on the Odyssey. We’ve talked about Daryl as Odysseus for a while, and also Leah as a Circe character who is trying to prevent him from going home.
Daryl mentions that “they even took Dog” in this past episode which is the first time we’ve heard mention of Dog for a while. This is significant because in the Odyssey, Odysseus is separated from his dog. When he comes home finally (to ITHACA), his dog Argos is the first to recognize him. Argos falls into filth and depression without Odysseus and basically lives just long enough to welcome him home. When Odysseus comes home, the dog “drops his ears and wags his tail,” recognizing him immediately even as nobody else did. Argos then dies, having fulfilled his duty to his master.
The other thing you mentioned is that Odysseus doesn’t have love stories. It’s true, because Odysseus is married. His wife Penelope doesn’t recognize him when she sees him upon his return. Odysseus’s return is a massive part of his story because he has been gone so long that he’s become unrecognizable. He encounters some of his most important trials when he arrives back in Ithaca. Penelope is being courted by many other men when he arrives, and so she holds a contest for them to prove themselves to her. The men must shoot an arrow from Odysseus’s bow through a series of rings. None of the men is strong enough to lift the bow but Odysseus himself who wins the contest. After that, he proves he is her husband by recognizing the bed he built for them out of an olive tree.
This indicates a lot about Daryl we already know. He hasn’t had any real love stories since Beth. Only temptation through Leah, which he does conquer in the end and overcome. Through the Odyssey template, a lot of TD theories are supported, like that they are separated for a long time, that Daryl becomes unrecognizable to Beth, and that he must somehow remind her of who he his. It also explains why we haven’t seen her yet. She is his reward in the end, but only after he has accomplished his entire journey and returned home—whatever that home may be.
If anyone is interested in my views on Beth and Daryl as spiritually married, you should check out my post on how “Alone” is a marriage allegory:
https://galadrieljones.tumblr.com/post/660624041601794048/alone-marriage-allegory-td
Adding to this: If anyone doesn’t know, Ithaca, NY is the setting of World Beyond season 2 and home to a major CRM research facility eventually headed by Jadis.
Also, I want to add that I think Penelope failing to recognize Odysseus could illustrate the Beth/memory loss theory. I think it’s likely she won’t remember Daryl at first, either due to physiological reasons from the headshot or because she’s repressed so much. She might also think he left her, or she might have some memories of a man she loved but who she can’t find or can’t tell if he was real or a dream from another life. We all know Daryl so well so the audience would have a very Daryl-centric view of their reunion. How could she forget him? It’s been ten years. In some ways, how could she not? Daryl went on living with his family. Beth would have been alone.
@twdmusicboxmystery​:
I’ll have to think on it more, but I wonder if Beth “not recognizing” him could take the form of a memory loss storyline. 🤔
@galadrieljones​:
Yeah this is totally what I’m referring to! I think it’s likely she won’t remember him at first, either due to physiological reasons from the headshot or because she’s repressed so much. She might also think he left her, or she might have some memories of a man she loved but who she can’t find or can’t tell if he was real or a dream from another life. 
We all know Daryl so well, so the GA would have a very Daryl-centric view of their reunion. How could she forget him? It’s been ten years. In some ways, how could she not? Daryl went on living with his family. Beth would have been alone.
@wdway​:
Love all this! Definitely love your synopsis of the Odyssey Daryl style.
I do feel that we and the general audience needs a reminder of Beth before the series ends. And seriously I think that's why we haven't been getting much details about the spinoff or the possible name of the spinoff because it would be too revealing about Beth.
@twdmusicboxmystery​:
Thoughts about the (very vague) Daryl spinoff synopsis?

Feel free to request non reader insert stories!
Example: Richonne, Carnid, Glaggie, Bethyl, Jaaron, Abrasita, Caryl, Donnie etc
Or even more reader x characters besides our main 3. Tara, Ro, Abe, Glenn, Ezekiel, Jesus, Luke, Yumiko, etc.
Im down for fluff, a bit of angst, i dont do smut mostly cause i can never write it all that well and it also seems cheap when i add it to my works. Lots of badass smut writers out there and I tip my hat to you.
But really, ill pretty much write anything besides incest, massive age gaps (minor, abuse, etc), pre apocalypse, and i really dont like writing Jadis and her group.
Ya'll are great and thanks for bein patient with me while I'm writing and doin university at the same time.
New Daryl story coming soon!

Best Friends - Part 2
Tumblr media
Pairing: Carl Grimes x Reader
Warning: Carnid breakup which I didn’t want to do because Carl and Enid both deserves happiness, FLUFF ENDING
A/N: OKAY GUYS I DECIDED I’LL WRITE A PT.2!!! Thank you for those of you who commented and took their time to like/reblog this story!!<3
Part 1
—————————————————————
“Hey, come on. Let’s just stay inside the wall.” Carl called out to a girl on the move, her leg already hooked onto the other side of the fence.
“You can. I want to go.” Enid stared down at her boyfriend, her full body already on the other side now.
Carl could only watch as the tip of her head sunk down in the steel walls. Their relationship began to strain after the whole incident with you coming to rescue the two.
“Y/N’s not always going to be around to help you, you know?” He called out one last time, before turning back and heading straight towards the clock tower.
“I can defend myself too, thank you very much. But it’s always about Y/N, isn’t it?” Enid mumbled to herself, kicking dirt over as she flees the compound.
Carl watched the scenery of Alexandria, passing by houses and trees, all free of walkers and full of life. He understood Enid’s need to head outside once in a while, but he also understood now that people can stay strong even inside the walls. Thanks to you.
His boots clanked against the metal staircase, breath getting slightly shallow as he kept on climbing up numbers of steps.
When he finally reached the top, the first thing he saw was you with your back facing him, sniper rifle loaded and finger steady on the trigger.
From what he’s figured out so far, is that Enid and you are simply two very different people. While Enid might have ran the other direction at the sight of walkers surrounding a person, you wouldn’t hesitate to step in.
He admired that.
Your bravery, toughness and caring nature.
“Are you just gonna stand there?” His neck whipped at you as soon as you made the comment.
“How’d you know I was here?” He climbed up to the small room, sitting down next to you with his back against the wall.
“You damned boots make a lot of noise.” You take your eyes off the scope, turning to him with a small smirk.
“Oh yeah. Stupid question.” He looked down at the sheets and blankets scattered on the ground, his face turning serious. “Did you spend the night here?”
“No, I made a bed for myself just so I could not sleep in it.” You glanced over Alexandria for a quick sweep before taking your eyes off of it again. “Yes. I did.”
“You need to rest.” He simply states, gently taking the rifle away from you and setting them down on the floor.
You don’t even have the strength to fight him, it really has been a while since you slept well.
“Come on.” He took your hand, re-lighting something up inside you that you tried so hard to extinguish before.
He leads you down the stairway, all while still holding your hand. Even when the two of you gets out of the tower, he continues to hold your hand while walking down the street to the group’s shared house. You could sense a couple stares, something called primal gaze detection. But you were way too focused on his hand wrapping around yours to care about them.
Once in the house, you were going to head straight for your room, but Carl pulls your hand back and takes you to the room next to it.
Carl’s.
“Why’re we going to your room?” You question him with a drained tone.
He looks back at you with a smile, “you never let me take care of you.” Your heart leaped for a second before you rationally calmed yourself down.
He’s your best friend.
“And to make sure you don’t go anywhere.” He added playfully, releasing your hand once the two of you were inside his room.
You’d come here many times before, but it felt different. You couldn’t really place your finger on it, though. You started getting a little dizzy, probably from the lack of sleep.
“I’ll bring you some water. Stay here.” He pointed at his bed, and you gladly laid on it. Not thinking very clearly.
If you hadn’t been sleep deprived, your mind would have pushed through your heart, making you stand up and make a beeline to the clock tower again.
But right at this moment, his bed felt comfortable, and that was enough for you.
Carl opened the door with a glass of water to see you already deep in sleep, and a smile crept up his face from the sight. He set the water down on the table and pulled the covers over you. You mumbled incoherent words at him, making him chuckle. It was rare for him to see you like this.
He gazed at you sleeping for a good 10 minutes, before realizing that is was kind of creepy and remembering that he had a girlfriend.
“Carl!” Michonne suddenly opened the door, knocking Carl backward with a thud.
He glanced at you, unbothered by the noise and still asleep. Relieved, he stood up and pushed Michonne out of the room. He slowly shut the door behind him and brought Michonne downstairs.
“She could’ve woken up. A knock would’ve been nice.”
“Look, I’m sorry. I was just about to tell you that Enid was looking for you.” Carl started walking to the door, Michonne watching how he didn’t immediately rush to the door as he would if someone said that you were looking for him.
“Hey, can you tell Y/N that I headed out for a minute if she wakes up?” Carl traces his steps back to the kitchen, pointing at the second floor.
“I will.” She reassured him with a grin on her face.
Michonne rests her elbows on the kitchen counter as she watched Carl head out the door.
“Judith, help those kids.” She mumbled to the little baby struggling to get around the house, picking her up and setting Judith in her arms.
Carl followed the white strips on the road as he looked around for Enid, both his hands deep in his pockets.
He kept going around in circles, and no signs of Enid anywhere. He started to grow skeptical of Michonne possibly lying. But why would she?
As he was on his 3rd round going around Alexandria, a girl who can only be Enid flashed across the corner of his eyes.
He quickly spun himself on the heel of his boot to call out to her, when he froze in place.
Enid was with someone, behind a couple trees and bushes. She didn’t seem to notice that Carl was here.
Carl stalked over to the bushes to take a better look at why she was behind a damn bush.
He froze in place as soon as he saw a scene play out in front of him. It was as if it was planned, directed, timed just so Carl could watch this with his own eyes.
There sat Enid and Ron in the grass, lips pressed against each other. They both looked... happy. Nothing forced or uncomfortable about it. That spoke for itself.
Carl should’ve wanted to dive inside the bushes and pull his gun on Ron, but he took it a lot more rationally than he would’ve thought.
He rose from his crouching stance, catching the attention of the two and simply spitting out the words of “we’re done.” Before calmly walking away.
His ears caught faint calls of “Carl, Wait! It’s not what you think!” And whatnot, but all he really wanted to do was return home.
To you.
When he opened his doors again, you were still in your deep sleep, cradling the blankets as if to make up for the empty space beside you.
But your face was angelic, lips creating a small pout and your lashes falling over your under-eyes. Your features were soft and relaxed, completely absorbed by the safety of the bed.
He remembered what it was like, having this big crush on you back at the prison. He knew how you felt about relationships, though. He’d never want to push you into an uncomfortable position. He wanted to laugh at how happier he was liking you and not getting a single flirty line from you than dating Enid.
He glanced down at you, weakly smiling and blurting out; “I wish I told you back at the prison.” Maybe he could’ve had an unexpected answer, or if he didn’t, at least he could’ve gotten over you with closure.
No, he wouldn’t be able to.
The concept of soulmates didn’t seem all that mystical to him anymore. No matter how many other girls he meets in his life, none of them are going to be you. And no matter what happens between you two, he knows you’ll always be the owner of his heart.
“Told me what?” You softly spoke up, voice slightly groggy from the dry air in the room.
Carl looked over at you, face red and possibly steaming. You let out a faint chuckle at the sight.
“That- you know what you always say about relationships?”
“No, don’t beat around the bush.” That phrase flicked on a switch in his mind, reminding him that it’s now or never.
“I like you, Y/N. I probably even love you. I’ve known since we were there back in the prison.” Carl sunk down on his knees, his head buried in his hands.
You felt immediately awake, your heart beating rapidly against your rib cage.
You sat up in the bed, placing your hand on one of Carl’s hands and leading him on his bed.
He climbed in silently, still terrified of your response.
“You have no idea how much I wanted to say that.” You had a little twinkle in your eyes, something Carl noticed whenever you were happy or excited.
His eyes watered in surprise and relief. You felt caught off guard by how your lips just formed syllables on its own, extracting its words from your heart.
Your heart was bursting. Carl, who you had this uncontainable crush on since the start, was confessing his love to you. And you just confirmed that you return his love.
Carl gently placed his hand on your cheek and kissed you. A kiss with emotions and feelings that couldn’t be formed into words. Something so rare in the apocalyptic world, but it was what made it so pure and precious.
Carl, later on, explained how he broke things off with Enid, and how she actually looks happier with Ron. And you could see it too.
Rick surprisingly won the bet on who was going to make the move first. Michonne was SO sure it was going to be you.
As far as you and Carl’s relationship could go, it was going amazingly. The two of you would kick ass together, care for each other and became an essential part of each other’s lives. Everyone in the group knew the two of you were bound to end up together. Maybe there really is someone scripting your life. Because that’s how perfect it was.
“That was horrifying.” Glenn panted behind the getaway car. Carl laid on the asphalt, catching a breather after taking on the jewelry store filled with walkers. “You must be really serious about this, man.”
“Yeah. She’s kind of the love of my life.” Carl smiled and breathed out, flashing a gorgeous diamond-encrusted ring in the sunlight.

Cannabis Use Linked to Higher Injury Risk, But Only Among Those Who Use at or Before Work
Tumblr media
(2022, April 12). Cannabis use linked to higher injury risk, but only among those who use at or before work. Institute for Work & Health (IWH). https://www.iwh.on.ca/newsletters/at-work/108/cannabis-use-linked-to-higher-injury-risk-but-only-among-those-who-use-at-or-before-work
The IWH writes: “People who use cannabis before or at work face a significantly greater risk of workplace injury—twice as high as the risk faced by people who don't use cannabis. Among workers who report using cannabis but not specifically before or at work, on the other hand, there was no greater risk of work injury when compared to workers who don't use. That’s according to study findings from an Institute for Work & Health (IWH) study led by Associate Scientist Dr. Nancy Carnide, who shared results in an IWH Speaker Series webinar presentation in March. These findings are the latest to come out of an ongoing study, funded through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, that began a few months before the October 2018 legalization of non-medical cannabis in Canada.”
“Drawing on a series of surveys first conducted in June 2018 and once a year since then, Carnide’s team has set out to understand whether patterns of cannabis consumption have changed in recent years—especially consumption during or just before work. Given the longitudinal design of the study, the team saw a good opportunity to use the data from this study to also examine the implications of cannabis use on future risk of workplace injury. Previous studies looking at this question have had mixed findings, says Carnide. But none of them has looked specifically at cannabis use at or before work.”

The Dominant Template in TWD
Hey Everyone! This is a very over-arching pattern that I pinned down after 10x17 aired. So I reference that episode several times. But I reference plenty of others as well. Hope you enjoy it. It’s a new pattern you can look for!
Let’s just say that watching 10x17 and thinking about how Hershel Jr.’s arc is like Beth’s sent me down a rabbit hole and this is the result.
Tumblr media
We’ve seen this template so often, I really think this is the dominant template they use to plan arcs on the show, from minor characters that only last a few episodes to full-season arcs to Beth’s multi-season arc.
And once again, this isn’t super groundbreaking. We’ve definitely identified pieces of this before. I’m just kind of seeing it in a new light.
In each example of this template, these are the step I’ve identified as always present or present most of the time. (And maybe they’re always present but I just can’t think of how in every case.)
Basic Template:
1. New threat to the community arises.
2. TF attempts a preliminary fix to the new threat.
3. It doesn’t work, everything goes wrong, people die, and often, the community itself falls.
4. The group splits into smaller groups for various reasons.
5. These smaller groups include the splitting up of both romantic couples and more platonic relationships.
6. Not sure if this is always the case, but often two people end up in a group together who will soon become love interests.
7. More often than not, in the chaos, someone goes missing and is presumed dead, but they aren’t, and they return at some point.
8. Romantic Reunions – eventually the entire group will come back together to face the threat, but the romantic reunions always happen PRIOR to this.
9. The group solidifies again, coming back together to face the threat.
10. Any familial or platonic reunions that haven’t happened yet happen at this point.
So, let’s look at some examples. It gets complicated and wordy to go through every example of this, and I struggle with the best way to explain it. There are kind of two examples in each season (think of it as one for every 8 episodes, roughly) but they also tend to be related, so you could think of them as Part A and Part B.
S4. The first big threat is actually the virus. So not bad people. But let’s focus on the second big threat: the Governor. This example is better for what I’m trying to explain.
Governor’s Arc:
Tumblr media
1. The threat is the Gov trying to take over the prison. The secondary threat that brings the group back together will be Terminus. In this case, they’re pretty much two different threats, but in most other seasons, they’re related.
2. Preliminary attempt could be seen as what they did to defeat the Gov in S3, which ultimately didn’t work. You could also see Rick trying to negotiate as the preliminary action that doesn’t work.
3. It doesn’t work. Everything goes wrong. Hershel dies. The prison falls.
4. The group splits into smaller groups, not by choice but because of circumstances.
5. Romantic couples that split: Glaggie, Richonne (They weren’t canon yet, but I think this was purposeful because the writers knew someday they would be.) Platonic splits: Rick/Judith, Sasha/Tyreese, Maggie/Beth, Daryl/Carol, Michonne/Carl.
6. Obviously the two who will become love interests are Beth and Daryl, but there’s also Sasha/Bob to consider.
7. Missing and Presumed Dead: Baby Judith
8. Romantic reunions before the entire group comes back together: Richonne in 4x09 and Glaggie in 4x15.
9. They all come back together at Terminus.
10. Platonic reunions after Terminus: Sasha/Bob and Rick&Carl/Judith.
I’m gonna skip S5 for a minute. You can use this template as something self-contained within season 5. 5b is a little weird because the “separations” are emotional rather than literal/physical, but it still works. But of course Beth’s arc that follows this template starts in S5 and will end up going between 5 and 10 seasons, just depending on how you look at it and how long it takes to get us to the CRM war, so I’ll come back to this.
Let me give you a couple of other examples first.
Season 6:
Tumblr media
1. The threat: the walkers at the quarry. (So the threat is usually a bad person or group, but here it’s walkers, and in 4a it was a virus, just so you can see different ways they do this.) The group will come back together in 6x09, pull together, and eliminate the walker threat.
2. Preliminary action: Well, it goes wrong right at first because the truck falls off the ledge and they have to start before planned. But all of Operation Lead the Walkers Away could be seen as the preliminary action that goes bad.
3. It all goes wrong when the wolves show up and blow the horn. The person that dies is Emery. I don’t think tptb wanted to kill off any main characters in this sequence, so they created his character specifically to adhere to this template.
4. The group splits again, though not by choice. Michonne and co to pet shop, Rick…running, Daryl/Sasha/Abraham, etc.
5. Romantic couples that split: Glaggie again, Richonne, Tara/Denise, you might even count David and Betsy. Platonic splits: uh, you know, anyone who’s not romantic.
6. Romantic reunions before the final battle: Richonne early on when Rick gets back to Alexandria (6x05, I think?) Tara and Denise briefly, before Creepy Wolf Dude takes her. And then Glaggie when Glenn returns and they get Maggie off the scaffold.
7. Missing and presumed dead: Glenn, obviously.
8. Two in same group who later become love interests: Sasha and Abraham. Also Carl and Enid, who are both at Alexandria. Clearly the writers use these sorts of situations to forge relationships.
9. They all reunite at Alexandria, Daryl sets lake on fire, they fight the walkers.
10.   Platonic reunions after: they don’t focus on these in a big way in this season, but we see everyone standing together on the porch afterward, Michonne holding baby Judith, and of course Rick talking to Carl.
Saviors Arc:
I’ll focus on S7 here, as I think we see this template several times throughout S7 and S8, but the Saviors arc really spans like 2.5 seasons, so I’ll keep this brief.
Tumblr media
1. Threat = The Saviors
2. Preliminary action: attacking the satellite station in 6x13. They thought that took care of the problem.
3. It goes wrong even though they don’t know it right away. Leads directly to Glenn and Abraham’s deaths.
4. The group splits, not by choice, but because Negan makes them. Rick trying to get supplies for the Saviors, Daryl at Sanctuary, Maggie/Sasha at Hilltop, Michonne on her own, etc.
5. Other than Rick and Michonne not being on the same page, there’s not major romantic splittage here. Glenn and Abraham die of course, but in this template, it’s always that the couple comes back together again, so death doesn’t count. We do have Carl and Enid splitting briefly when he goes to the Sanctuary in 7x07. Platonic splits: again, just everyone in different groups who isn’t romantic. So, Daryl/Rick, Rick/Maggie, etc.
6. Romantic Reunions: Carnid, Richonne when they got on the same page.
7. Missing and presumed dead: I think this would be Daryl. It’s a small thing, but when Negan took him, Rick really didn’t know if Negan planned to kill him.
8. Two who become love interests: Again, maybe Carl and Enid outside the walls together? Just not a huge emphasis on the romance here. Though possibly we could consider Sherry and Dwight too.
9. Again, this depends on how you want to see it. You could see the final battle as the end of AOW in 8x16, but if you want to stick with 7a, then it’s when they all reunite at Hilltop and hug in 7x08. See what I mean about how they use this for both big and small arcs?
10. Platonic reunions in 7x08: Maggie/Rick, Daryl/Rick, Daryl/Everyone, etc.
Okay, I’ll stop there with the examples. This took me a long time because you can go through every single season, even every 8 episodes, and see this same thing. There’s so much going on AOW, I didn’t even want to try to pin this down for S8, but I’m sure it’s there. In S9, this works first for Rick’s death and then for the Whisperers. Whisperers, preliminary action = giving Lydia back, but that leads to pike victims. Hilltop falls. You can fill in the other details. S10 is the Whisperers continued, but the first threat was the satellite falling and the fire it caused. You get the idea.
And I think in this episode (10x17) they’re setting up this same template with the Reapers. What we see in this episode might qualify as the preliminary action. It’s very small, but it might. So we might be seeing steps 1 and 2 of the template, using the Reapers as the threat.
So, back to Beth. I guess the main reason this got me all excited is that it simply backs up other things we’ve already theorized. If you think of this template in an extremely long-game sort of way (many seasons), it makes perfect sense.
Beth/CRM Arc:
1. First threat: Grady/CRM. Because we believe Grady was entangled with them.
Tumblr media
2. Preliminary Action: the prisoner exchange at Grady to stop the conflict.
3. It goes wrong. Beth “dies.”
4. Group splits. This one is interesting because the group has obviously split and come back together many times over the seasons. But this has to be on a bigger scale than that. So, not just characters coming back together a few episodes later. It has to be more epic than that. Like, having them separated for several seasons? 
So think of it this way: the only people still alive who knew Beth in S4/S5 are Rick, Michonne, Daryl, Carol, Maggie, and Judith. And who is separated from the group right now and for the foreseeable future? Rick and Michonne. 
We also know Daryl and Carol will leave together at the end of S11. I’m assuming Maggie stays behind then, though we can’t know for sure yet. But if things work out the way I think they will based on other templates (like TWB) then at some point Daryl and Carol will split up, too. So, the splits are definitely there, but it’s much more epic in this case. The splits happen over multiple seasons, rather than all at once. Rick in S9. Michonne roughly a season later. Daryl and Carol a season after that, etc.
5. Romantic splits: well, things may change but as of right now, Richonne, Bethyl, Carzekiel are all split up. Platonic splits: Daryl/Rick, Daryl/Michonne, Daryl/Carol, Michonne/Daryl, perhaps Judith from all of these, etc.
6. Romantic reunions: we don’t know exactly how they’ll play out, but I’m assuming Michonne will find Rick BEFORE the final CRM conflict. Assuming Ezekiel has a death fakeout, I think he and Carol will reunite before the main CRM battle. And of course you know I think Daryl will meet Beth on his way to Rick. The romantic reunions always happen BEFORE the big, final conflict. :D
7.  Missing and presumed dead: right now it’s both Rick and Beth, though Zeke may join at some point.
8.  Two in group who become love interests? I have no idea who this will be. Might possibly even be characters we haven’t met yet. Eugene/Stephanie? Kelly/Elijah?
Tumblr media
9.  Final conflict is war with CRM.
10. Platonic reunions afterward: Possibly Beth/Maggie, Judith/Various people, main characters with those back at Alexandria, so like Daryl/Aaron, Rick/Maggie, etc.
I was going to give you the rundown for how this template plays out in 10x17. After reading this though, you’ll probably recognize it right away. There’s a part where Daryl and Maggie’s group splits into two to follow two paths. That’s what got me thinking about this to begin with.

The Next day
We pull up to the broken gates of Alexandria the smoke is still clearing We get out of the car “Enid and I will go check the Left side you go the Right”Rick says Daryl nods I follow Rick to the Left side of Alexandria, which so happens to be where Rick house was Rick’s house is in perfect condition except for a broken window I walk inside looking at everything there is a mess on the floor and the table looks like hell I slowly walk up the stairs Having my knife ready in case of any walkers I walk into a room I think its Rick and Michonnes room Their is a picture on the dresser of Carl and Judith I smile I grab the pictures and I stuff it in my backpack knowing Judith will want to Remeber Her brother I walk over to the nightstand seeing a box I quickly turn around when I read the first letter which was C I walked out of the room quickly not wanting that image in my head I walk into a another room My knees weaken when I remember its Carl’s Tears form in my eyes I walk around his room when I pass his bookshelf Suddenly A light shined in my eye from the corner I turn towards it to see a metal object between a piece of paper I slowly walk to it and I pick it up a necklace falling out of it I unfold the paper and it reads
Dear Enid,

Yes, I am dead I, tried I really did, but walkers suck don’t they.

Carl
Ps I love you to the end of the milky way and back 
My tears fall as I am finishing reading the note I slowly reach down and pick up the necklace is a heart locket with a Ring on the chain as well, I smile Then suddenly something touches my shoulder and snarls I scream and I turn around A Walker! I drop the locket and grab its neck it pushes against the wall trying to bite me I let out a scream as The walker gets closer and closer than before its teeth make it to my neck A arrow goes through its head it falls to the ground dead along with me in pure panic I sob uncontrollably on the floor Daryl kneels down next to me “It’s ok Enid It’s alright”He says He straps his crossbow to his back and picks me up bridal style grabbing the locket and note he walks out of the house with me and down the streets as I sob I sob about everything Carl,Glenn,My parents the war and, Olivia Daryl carries me to the car and places me in it he hands me the note and the locket Rick is walking back with a bag of stuff he puts it in the back seat and gets in the driver’s seat Daryl gets on his Motercycle and drives away Rick starts the car and follows “You alright?”Rick asks I wipe my tears away “I’m fine” I say 
Back at hilltop
I walk into my bedroom holding Carl’s hat I place it on my bed, I take my hair out of the ponytail and I grab the hat and look in the mirror, I slowly place the hat on slowly I run my fingers tips over the gold rope and I fix my hair and I walk out of the room and I walk outside A crowd of people outside holding guns and weapons Rick and michonne smile at me Rick then Announces
“Let go win this war!”

Honest Opinions on: The Walking Dead
Questions about the cast as opposed to the show will only be about the main cast as of 8.08. Main cast in this post is referring to the starring cast with title cards (Andrew Lincoln, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Alanna Masterson, Josh McDermitt, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Ross Marquand, Christian Serratos, Lennie James, Seth Gilliam) and the "also starring" cast who's names appear in every episode after the credits, regardless if they are in the episode (Katelyn Nacon, Pollyanna McIntosh, Austin Amelio, Steven Ogg, Khary Payton, Xander Berkeley, Tom Payne) Questions about the show or characters will be referring to every season. Favourite Episodes: Days Gone Bye, Tell It To The Frogs, Wildfire, What Lies Ahead. Cherokee Rose, Better Angels, Beside The Dying Fire, Killer Within, Clear, Too Far Gone, The Grove, A, What Happened and What's Going On, The Distance, No Way Out, The Next World, Knots Untie, The Day Will Come When You Won't Be, Sing Me A Song, Bury Me Here, Some Guy Least Favourite Episodes: TS-19, Most of Season 3, Welcome To The Tombs, Slabtown, Coda, Them, Thank You, The Same Boat, Rock In The Road, Say Yes, Something They Need Favourite Seasons: 1, 2, 4, 6 Least Favourite Seasons: 3, 8A Favourite Characters: Carl, Beth, Rick, Dwight, Jesus, Eugene, Gavin, Ezekiel, Kal, Gabriel, Glenn Least Favourite: David, Dean, Ed, Shane, Simon, Gorman, Daryl, Carol, Claimer Joe, Claimer Dan, Jadis, Jared, Tara, Gregory, Lori, Dale, Shane, The Governor Favourite Ships: Desus, Carzekial, Richonne, Bethyl, Rickyl, Aaric, DarylxAaron, Gleggie, Carnid, DwightxRosita Least Favourite Ships: Jaaron, Darsita, Caryl, LorixAnybody Guilty Pleasure Ships: Grimescest (RickxCarl) Regan (RickxNegan) Cegan (Carl x Negan, but only if they try to keep it a secret, Rick finds out and punches Negan's face in like he realistically would) Best on-screen platonic chemistry: Andrew Lincoln & Chandler Riggs Danai Gurira & Chandler Riggs Best on-screen chemistry (romantic, antagonistic, or otherwise) Tom Payne & Norman Reedus Andrew Lincoln & Norman Reedus Melissa McBride & Khary Payton Melissa McBride & Lennie James Andrew Lincoln & Danai Gurira Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Andrew Lincoln Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Chandler Riggs Steven Ogg & Xander Berkeley Xander Berkeley & Lauren Cohan Josh McDermitt & Jeffrey Dean Morgan Josh McDermitt & Austin Amelio Andrew Lincoln & Pollyanna McIntosh (these Garbage People are only okay with me because of the way these two play off each other.) Worst on-screen chemistry Norman Reedus & Melissa McBride (Whatever the relationship between Daryl and Carol is actually supposed to be... It's been 8 seasons and it still feels forced) Tom Payne & Lauren Cohan (this entire cheerleader thing Jesus does isn't even believable) Tom Payne & Alanna Masterson (these were not the people to do the moral compass vs hardened killer thing with this season) Best Actors: Andrew Lincoln, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lennie James, Khary Payton, Josh McDermitt, Chandler Riggs, Steven Ogg, and Xander Berkeley (sexual misconduct allegations aside. That's a different story) Worst Actors: Being completely honest here... Tom Payne, Alanna Masterson, Norman Reedus (How did this guy get a character CREATED specifically for him because of his acting skills as well as his own show... And have his character outlive the most important character from the source material.... When he's easily one of the least talented actors on this show) Best Deviation from the source material: Shane's character development and Terminus vs the Hunters, Wolves vs Comic Scavengers Worst Deviation from the source material: The Show Prison arc vs the Comic prison arc, the walker quarry subplot of 6A vs the comic version of No Way Out, Andrea's development, Grady Hospital, the Garbage People, skipping over Carl's recovery arc, the stupid and absurd way they remixed one eyed 9-year-old comic Carl shooting Negan from a distance, barely missing him and accidentally hitting Lucille by having show-Rosita, a grown woman with a lot more training and experience shoot at pointblank range and the bullet being deflected... Somehow... Almost all of season 7B was horrid TV-only nonsense other than the Sasha stuff and the biggest and worst deviation to date is the episode "How It's Gotta Be" as well as everything that will happen after it, especially season 9 if it actually happens. Why do I think this? You-know-who is the most central and important character in the next arc and these writers have almost always been AWFUL [especially during Gimple-era] when they try to come up with their own material. JUST use the damn storylines you're already given and STOP trying to be kreativ/stretch the material out with filler that doesn't do anything for the story! What would make me stop watching: #IfCarlDiesWeRiot... And if THAT somehow doesn't Daryl or Tara getting Carl's comic storylines definitely would. (Why would they kill the most important character in the whole TWD Franchise but keep these TV-only characters that add nothing! BTW, this is coming from someone who actually liked and would absolutely rewatch the episode "Swear") What would maybe make me start watching again: Scott Gimple being fired and the show handed to a writer who will do the comic justice in a respectful, good way even without the most important character for the Whisperers arc, Desus or Carzekial going canon, Daryl dying, or season 8 being Rick's dream and season 9 starts with the timeskip featuring with Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes. All of these things together is the only way to guarantee me watching again. Best Showrunner: Frank Darabont Worst Showrunner: Glen Mazzara. And Scott Gimple because he did almost the same to Carl/Chandler that Mazzara did to Andrea/Laurie and he's STILL employed! I don't think any of this is a particularly popular opinion.
