We need to discuss the way Alex talks about Danai. He always sounds so in awe of her. He’s like fanon Attuma come to life. I’m so glad Danai got him as her “dance partner”.
DANAI GURIRA at The Gotham Awards on November 28th 2022 in New York City wearing VERSACE
Danai was glamorous and dramatic in this Versace look at the Gotham Awards. I loved how over the top this loom was. She kept the dress a simple black dress with a corset detail, but every other choice was bold. She wore shoes with really chunky gold chains. Her hair looked insane with the volume and curls, absolutely beautiful. The highlight of the look has to be the jacket. Even in the weird green color, it works so well for Danai. It's a fantastic jacket that looks amazing, and so luxurious.
It wasn't unusual to see Rick and Michonne walking their kids to school every morning since their return. But for a while, it was only Rick seeing the kids off to school. Until one morning, the Grimes Family finally emerged with a very rotund mama Michonne.
The doctor finally released Michonne from bed rest. Morning sickness is no fun! Mama and the twins will be fine.
(We knew this was going to happen, right? We weren't surprised. I mean they were going at it like rabbits.....) I'm sure the community wasn't surprised either!
This was inspired by @blacklitchick fic ME & YOU fic where Michonne took a long nap --about an hour and a half nap (due to their mid-morning delight). I was thinking, it could have been that, or ........
“i never thanked you. for what? for getting me out there that day. taking me in. if you didn’t have that baby formula i wouldn’t have. you could’ve just taken the formula. well must’ve been something else then.”
“you gonna stay a little while? / just a little while.”
“i think you can find a way. we can find a way. and if we don’t, i’m still with you.”
“this is different.”
“we’re the ones who get things done. you said that. we’re the ones who live.”
“the two of us, you and me, reordering things together. i’d want that, if it’s something that you wanted.”
“i love you. / i love you too.”
“how’d i get so lucky finding you?”
“you wanna know why i fell in love with you? because you’re a fighter. and you never give up.”
“you’re my family. i found you.”
“my wife is my choice.”
“i love you so much. i love you so so much.”
“i felt him. i still feel him.”
“i found you!”
“we will get away. together.”
“you think i didn’t want to be with you? i tried everything!”
“do you still love me? / always. i’ve never stopped loving you.”
“you’re the love of my life. i couldn’t just let you go.”
“the only time i feel safe is when i’m with you.”
“i started dreaming of you. and there you were. you and i fell in love in different ways.”
“we can make this whole damn world ours if we want to.”
“i missed you so much. words can’t even say it right. / you don’t have to i know.”
“i can’t live without you. without you i die.”
“it’s a broken world michonne, and you’re the only thing that puts it back together. til my last breath i am yours. / i could never have imagined this. but it could have only ever been you. i’m yours.”
MAVIS NICHOLSON: "Do you think it is possible, then, for someone to forgive themselves even when they've done something absolutely terrible?"
TONI MORRISON: "Yes. It's called grace. At some point you do. If you don't, you're in a cul-de-sac. But you have to go through the fire first. You have to experience the full fall, and the complete self-loathing, in order to come around to something like the forgiving of oneself. It's when you skip responsibility, when you use a subsititute emotion like guilt--which is of no use to anyone--but if you feel the real thing which is shame, hatred, humiliation, and self-loathing: that is the door. And if you get through that, then you can forgive yourself."
