Walking Dead New Frontier Hot Take:

People who dislike Kate for "cheating" on David are being misogynistic. The Walking Dead is a series that explores human nature when a stable society has collapsed. There are many bad parts of this, lack of medical care and laws to protect people, but this is one good thing about the apocalypse. People can start over. Lee got to start over and redeem himself (after literally killing someone, but sure, go off on Kate). Outside of the established norm people are able to change and make new choices.

David was emotionally and verbally abusive to Kate. He's angry, unstable, and jealous. She is only still married to him because she believes in the societal institution of marriage and feels trapped in her life the way it is.

When everything falls apart, what does it mean to be married? People steal now, they kill in self defense, people make difficult decisions for their own well-being. Kate does not have to remain loyal to David anymore. She has been provided with more agency and a new start, the ability to make a choice that is better for her. She clearly is afraid of David, and I can't be convinced David actually likes or cares about her as a person. When David sees her again, he just immediately assumes she will go back to being his wife without a single conversation with her. He just thinks, "Oh cool, my property is back."

Imagine thinking you're free from your abuser and then they suddenly reappear in your life and try to force you back into the role you had with them before. I was horrified for her. She must have felt devastated.

Kate did absolutely nothing wrong by not remaining loyal to an abusive man (WHO WAS ABOUT TO ABANDON HIS FAMILY BE RE-ENLISTING IN THE ARMY JUST TO GET AWAY FROM THEM) and actually fostering a relationship with Javi, a man who is kind, respectful and supportive to her. She risks her safety to free Javi and help him. She is loyal to the man who is loyal to her. She backs up Javi again and again.

People who hate Kate for being a "cheater" are operating on the sexist belief that marriage makes a woman a mans property for the rest of her life, no matter how he treats her, even if she had no reason to believe he was alive for the last 5 fucking years.

Kate Garcia did NOTHING wrong. Ya'll just aren't the girls-girls you think you are 😤

following my streak on the definitive edition of twdg i finally finished s3/ a new frontier and let me tell you i had a blast !!! i will say the controls were not my fave compared to s1 and s2 and i did miss some of the tension of dealing with characters that are virtually strangers yet become family along the way (goodbye kenny luv u), cause this actual family dynamic however interesting becomes a little boring after some playing, like yeah yeah there's the kate romance and the fighting brothers but you know how things are gonna end up cause you KNOW this people from before....but it was interesting interacting with clem from an outer perspective once again and unlike s2 not be essentially a child therapist to a bunch of crazy adults 💀 not so emotional but interesting enough to keep me going

#twdg a new frontier #twdg s3 #javier garcia absolute sweetheart i swear this guy is so real #gabe's death was disheartening like what was the need but ok #i love how clem got shot in the end of s2 and it was never brought up again idk for such a dramatic moment it could have some impact....#ava dying was my 9/11 #i actually don't think david was that bad the guy had a lot on his shoulder you could see the ptsd kicking in...#telltale the walking dead #twdg

i know this is probably useless information but i just wanted to let you know that your twdg headcanons/scenarios/reactions etc. are the reason i was able to find out i was trans (genderfluid they/them).

so thanks for helping me figure that out lol. i couldn’t be any happier being non binary, im really glad i came across your blog.

and if you’re still taking requests / writing for twdg, can you write some reactions / headcanons of you coming out to them as genderfluid? (if you haven’t already)

stop are you for real???? literally crying rn omg this is the best thing ever. I’m so happy for you and proud of you. you are so loved and accepted!!!

here you go, my friend :’) I’m gonna do a handful of my fav characters across the series

Lee: Lee turned, devoting his full attention to Y/N. “What’s going on? Are you okay?” Y/N was refusing to make eye contact and was fiddling with the hem of their shirt - something they only did when they were stressed. Naturally, Lee was worried. “I have something important I need to tell you.” Lee leaned against the kitchen counter, arms crossed, open and ready to listen. Y/N squeezed their eyes closed. “I’m genderfluid.” They paused, waiting for any type of reaction, before opening their eyes and meeting Lee’s stare. “I’m non-binary. They/them.” They cleared their throat. “I just wanted you to know.” Lee smiled, kneeling down to their height and pulling them into his arms. “Thank you for telling me.” Was all he said. It was all he needed to say. It was all Y/N wanted him to say. Y/N closed their eyes and wrapped their arms around him, squeezing him tightly.

Luke: Luke was in the kitchen, attempting to make a small cup of coffee. Y/N walked in and smiled. “Good morning,” “It would be if I can finally get a cup,” Luke said passively. Their system was far more difficult than it used to be pre-apocalypse. “I miss the coffee maker days. Way less work.” Y/N smirked, leaning against the counter near him, watching as his coffee slowly began to brew in the water he was boiling. “If you want a cup, you might have to wait ‘til next year.” The two chuckled happily, Y/N shifting nervously in their spot. “Look, I didn’t come here for coffee. I came here to tell you something.” Luke looked away from his current project. “What’s going on? You okay?” “Yeah, I am.” They answered quickly, rubbing their hands together as a means of fidgeting. They sighed and looked around, ensuring it was just the two of them for them to speak. “I’m genderfluid. Non-binary.” They shifted on their feet, but maintained direct eye-contact. “I just wanted people close to me to know who I really am.” Luke paused for a moment, then smiled warmly. Without a word, he swept them into his arms and hugged them, holding the back of their head close. “Thank you for trusting me with something so important to you.” Y/N’s eyes were wide. They had hoped for acceptance, but this? This was beyond kind. Beyond sweet. It was so….Luke. They were beyond thankful. As they pulled away, Luke squeezed their shoulders. “And look at that. Now my coffee’s done. Another reason I have to thank you.” Y/N smiled, hugged their arms to their chest, thrilled at how kidney he had not only taken the news, but reassured rhythm as well.

Javier: Javier was busy taking stock of the rations Richmond had. He was chewing on the inside of his cheek, attempting to do the math to see how many portions each person in Richmond could get to keep them on track for storing food for the winter. In the middle of a calculator, Y/;N wandered up. “How’s it going?” Javi groaned. “Painfully. Care to help?” he passed them the clipboard and Y/N took it, smirking to themselves. “I can, but I kinda need to tell you something first.” Javi crossed his arms, smiling. “If you’re taking over the math, you can tell me anything.” Y/N chuckled, slightly nervously. “Well, uh,” they said, beginning to feel sheepish. “I’m, uh, non-binary.” Javi blinked, staring back at them. “Okay,” he said softly, nodding understandingly. “You're not shocked?” Y/N asked, releasing the tight hold they had on the clipboard and allowing her fingers and chest to relax. “No,” he said with a shrug. “I care about you being happy.” He smiled warmly, allowing his hands to rest on both of Y/.N’s shoulders. “If you’re happy, so am I. And I think you’ve been looking happier than ever these days.” Y/N smiled, chest warm, shocked that he even noticed. “You feel more like yourself. I've loved seeing that.” Y/N turned away, smiling to themselves, trying to blink back happy tears.

Kate: Kate smiled and took a seat, wanting Y/N to see how her attention was directed to them. “What’s up?” She asked, hands folded on her lap. Y/N took a deep breath, eyes directed to the ground, squeezing their fingers together in their lap. “I’m non-binary.” They said, plainly and factually. Finally, they looked up, their stare meeting Kate's. Genderfluid. I don’t identify with one set gender.” Kate hesitated, then nodded and smiled. “Okay,” she said softly. It was as though it wasn’t a big deal to Kate, but not dismissively. As thought was natural. Normal, even. Kate leaned in, wrapping her arms around a confused and stunned Y/N. “Thank you for trusting me with the real you,” she said softly, closing her eyes in bliss to hold back her happy tears. For so long she had wanted a relationship like this with Y/N - she wanted them to trust her - and she finally had confirmation that they did. “I love you no matter what.” She hushed. She could feel Y/N’s happy tears hit her shoulder as she stoked the back of their head lovingly.

Gabe: Gabe turned, smiling as Y/N sat down beside him. The sun had finally set, and the two of them were the only ones remaining at the bonfire, charged with waiting until it finally died out before going to bed. “I have something I need to tell you.” Y/N said, voice soft and low. The night felt so quiet, they felt as though they needed to whisper. Gabe nodded, poking a stick at the flames in front of them. “What’s that?” Y/N took a deep breath, but knew they weren’t going to hesitate. They would start to second guess themselves too much. “I’m genderfluid.” There was a beat of silence as Gabe turned to them. “Non-binary.” They furthered. Gabe smiled, shrugging his shoulders. “What? Did you think I wouldn’t be okay with that?” He chuckled to himself, tossing his stick fully into the fire. “Thanks for telling me.” He said softly and genuinely. Y/N smiled, thankful for his reaction. It was exactly what they needed to hear.

Louis: Louis was in the middle of fiddling aground on the piano, scribbling down notes on the scrap piece of paper in front of him. “Hey, can I talk to you for a second?” “Yeah, sure.” Louis said passively, scribbling even faster before he forgot what notes he had just played. “It’s important.” Suddenly, Louis froze and turned, his hand still holding his pencil. He quickly abandoned it against the piano and slid over, patting for them to join him. “Are you okay?” Y/N sat down. “Is everything okay?” He asked again. Y/N took a deep breath. “I need to tell you something important and Iwant you to not be weird about it.” Louis raised a brow. While he was known to joke, he wouldn’t ever tease them about something seemingly so important. “I’m non-binary. Gender-fluid. I don’t identify as a boy or a girl. I’m somewhere in-between. Kind of.” They were beginning to ramble, but before they could fall too deeply into it, they looked up from their quivering hands and saw Louis, smiling tenderly at them. “What?” Y/N finally asked. Louis chuckled softly. “Nothing. I’m just glad that you trust me with something so special.” Carefully, he put one of his hands over their shaking ones. “You’re okay. You’re accepted here with us. With me.” It was the perfect thing to say, but Y/N didn’t have the words to express that to him in the moment. Instead, they gave a teary smile, their chest warm.

Violet: Violet was lounging on the roof, staring at the stars, her hands propped behind her head. “Can’t sleep?” Y/N asked from the entrance to the roof. Violet turned, smiling, then shrugged without moving from her relaxed position. “Kind of. You?” “Kind of.” Y’/N responded. In reality, there was so much on their mind it was hard for them to think of sleep. They wandered up and sat beside Violet, kicking their arms out behind them and leaning onto them, glancing up at the bright night sky. “It's nice to stargaze without city lights,” Violet mentioned in passing. Y/N hummed in agreement, then averting their eyes to the ground below their swinging feet. “Violet?” Violet hummed in response, as if giving them a non-verbal ‘go ahead’. “I need to tell you something.” Violet turned to them, eyes intrigued. She said nothing, just stared and waited. Y/N could feel her eyes boring holes into the side of their skull. “I’m genderfluid.” They said, It was all they said. It was all they needed to say. Violet smiled, using her elbow to gently nudge Y/N. “What? Did you think I wouldn’t be accepting or something?” Violet chuckled/, finally sitting upright. She tossed an arm over their shoulders, giving them a faint side-hug. “Thanks for telling me. I feel honored.”

Mitch: Mitch was whittling a knife out of boredom, sitting on the Ericson front steps as he waited for his watching shift. He was to stand on the lookout tower for the night, but had to wait until the sun was fully set before he could trade off with Ruby. “Hey,” Y/N said, nervously stuffing their hands into their jacket pockets behind him. “You busy?” Mitch scoffed. “Please.” With a smile, Y/N sat down and joined him. “What’s up?” “Well,” Y/N sighed. Mitch tensed. That was never a good sign. “There’s something I really want to tell you.” Mitch was never good at this type of confrontation; a kind that could be emotional or difficult for one or both parties. He turned to look at them without saying a word, clutching his knife and stick tightly - nervously - in his palms. “I want you to know that I’m non-binary.” They nodded to themselves, as if saying it out loud confirmed it for them as well. “Genderfluid.” They continued. Mitch’s shoulders relaxed, the panic he had washing away. “Oh,” he said softly. Y/N turned to look at him, a fleeting look of pain in their eyes, before it vanished. Mitch smiled and turned back to his stick. “I thought you were going to deliver bad news. Not cool news.” Y/N smiled, nudging his shoulder teasingly, chuckling to themselves.

WTF Telltale?

you know guys, the plot and the choices offered to the player in TWDG have always left me perplexed. Let me explain better, the plot leaves something to be desired, there are forcings, such as Carley's death that make people turn up their noses. why did Lilly shoot at Carley's first provocation, while with Kenny, with whom she teased herself for a long time, she instead did nothing? Why bring along a Ben if he's so useless that you don't even notice he exists during episode 4? Honestly, Carley had something more to say, in my opinion. among other things, it is precisely the deepest and most impactful characters that make the plot deeper, so if I eliminate those characters to make room for the more vacuous ones, what do you think will happen? obviously the plot will lose depth and possible arguments. I honestly would have taken Lee and maybe Carley up to the second season, especially considering that the 11 year old Clementine seems more like a secondary character than the protagonist. most of the time she witnesses what happens, while a protagonist should be among those characters who construct the situations that characterize the plot, especially the most important ones. now we move on to the choices, I must admit that I felt a bit cheated by the game, when I replayed the various episodes several times, to try the different choices. let's take the stranger's car at the end of episode 2 of the first season for example, that represents the falsity of choices in TWDG. Lee finds himself in the situation of having to choose whether or not to loot that car, the fact is that I can decide to do it, to refuse to do it or even not to speak, but the game will always take me in the same direction, that is, the looting of the vehicle, indeed if I decide to stay silent or refuse it may be that certain characters speak for me or change their way of thinking so that we go in a certain direction. at this point I ask myself, why write at the beginning of the game that my choices influence the plot, if that's not the case? why pass off a game that is actually almost entirely on tracks as multi-scenario? sorry for my papyrus, but I wanted to express my disappointment regarding the development of this videogame series.

PS: For me, plot-wise, the bottom of the barrel was reached at the beginning of season 3, when they showed Kenny's death through Clementine's memory. this is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned, they simply snubbed the character, not even the other supporting characters received this unworthy treatment, not even the least important and vacuous ones.
