You're gonna miss me so bad when I'm gone, Daryl Dixon.

Just rewatched ‘Coda’ and this is never gonna be okay, I am a mess. I start crying from the minute they enter that fucking hallway. The reaction shots KILL me. The fact that you know Daryl is on the floor sobbing over her body just out of shot, I can’t— 😭💔

Beth Greene, you deserve so much better than this. Thank god for fix-it fic.

On April 18th, 2024, the official Instagram account of The Walking Dead shared the post shown within my edit in the left pane of the first of the photos shown ☝🏼here☝🏼. Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) was on a relatively short list of deceased characters from the series with this query—if we (the viewers) could bring back any character, which one would it be??? There goes that often annoying TWD account… trolling yet again in regards to Beth. *SIGH* 🙄😑🤨🤔

But I was so heartened when I looked through the comments and saw the huge volume of fans of the series—and not just Beth/Emily stans or Beth x Daryl shippers—stating that it is indeed Beth Greene whom they would want to see come back… ALIVE. This coming November will mark TEN YEARS since Beth was tragically shot in that heartbreaking episode of “Coda.” And there are still SO MANY Walking Dead fans who would have been thrilled to see her return during the run of the series. THAT is a true testament to the impact of Beth as a character and how she has enduringly resonated with so many people… with her sensitivity, her empathy, her beauty inside and out, her strength, and her spirit. The faint Team Delusional fire within me sparks a fantasy of her showing up in the second season of Daryl Dixon. Hey… stranger things have happened, right? Just the fact that Daryl floated all the way across the Atlantic to France(!?!) in the first place certainly demands a substantial suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewers. 😐

Anyway, feeling inspired by the sight of the voluminous outpouring of love and devotion for Beth, I combed through the comment thread on the post and took screenshots of any comments of Beth positivity that I could find. I then took all of those comments and poured them into a total of 17(!!!) separate Instastories (shown here in the above photos) that I shared on my Instagram—doeroseq. I tagged Emily Kinney on each story. Because I wanted her to see just how much she and Beth are both beloved and still missed by TWD’s fandom… all these years later. 👱🏻‍♀️💚🐞

And I later saw the confirmation in my Instagram messaging that she saw at least one of them. So that made me feel really good. 🥰

When I saw @bethiscomingsoon’s recent tumblr posts about their similar observations of the Beth/Emily adoration within the post’s comments, I decided to share my Instastories here too. 😁

We Beth/Emily and Bethyl fans need to stick together. 💞

I continue to love my Bethyl shipping fandom and I care deeply for all of the people in it. 😍

stars

carl grimes x fem!reader

summary : stars were always her favorite, and now they're carls

takes place during : not long after the atlanta group makes it to alexandria 

trigger warning : implied suicide

word count : 694

IT WAS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT, AND AS

the stars painted the mid-summer night sky like a thousand lightning bugs in a dark forest, the cool breeze sending a chill down the brown haired boys back. hugging himself tightly, he took notice of the constellations above his head, the millions of twinkling lights.

her favorites, he thought, gazing up at the objects with such intent. 

perhaps, had he been quicker, had he been nicer, had he just said those simple words sooner, she would be here sitting beside him. but, she was gone. she was one of the stars now. and maybe he was ok with that. maybe he was happy the girl he had loved for so long was finally at rest. yet another part of him told him to be furious, not at her, but at himself. furious for not realizing sooner the pain she was in. annoyed for brushing her off so many times. pissed for the fact that he thought everything was ok when in reality the walls she had spent so long to keep up were crumbling down around her, and there was no one there to help the frail girl rebuild them. he knew the moment she didn't come to the fields to help him farm the next day, she was hurt. maybe it was his brain going into overdrive, telling him he should've stayed awake longer. checked on her more often. he should've been there just like he promised. but he wasn't. he was sound asleep while she sat in her bed, the remains of her walls being knocked over as if they were made of legos, not stone. turning his gaze back to the stars, the teenage boy noticed the way in which they all shone. he knew no two stars would be the exact same, but it seemed to the tired boy they all blinked at the same time, like a light switch being turned on and off. he could remember her voice, the way it spoke with such syrup-like sweetness as she told him facts about the stars.

"𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴?"

"𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘴."

"𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳. 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯-𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳."

"𝘪 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳."

"𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦��, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘪 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴."

he wished he had taken the conversations more to heart, barely remembering what she had said most nights.

"𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘦."

they don't twinkle because of how bright you shone, they knew that even if they did twinkle, you would be the only star people payed attention to, his thoughts were paused as the brown eyed boy took one more gaze up at the sky, noticing the crescent moon at its peak. the way the moon casted a shadow overhead was almost intoxicating, the craters on it adding colors that the boy never thought he'd see in his life.

“carl, it's getting cold outside, come in." michonne called from somewhere behind him, yet the teenage boy was so captivated by the world around that he paid no mind to the words she in which she spoke.

"just give me five more minutes, she always liked it outside, so i want to spend as much time as i can out here... to honor her."

“they’re having an official burial for her on wednesday, you should go.”

"i want my last memories with her to be the happy ones, or at least as happy as they can get."

"well, find a way to find happiness in going. she would have wanted you to attend, if she was as nice of a girl as you said she was."

"yeah, it's selfish of me."

"it's not selfish, it's love."

"why did it have to be her, why couldn't it be me?"

"who knows dear, but if she was here and not you, she would be in just as much, if not more, pain."

"is it possible to re-write history? to change it?"

"no one can rewrite history and change the past."

"but what if we did.. what if we at least tried?"

I know I said Carol can do whatever the hell she wants, but the way she keeps saying "you should hate me. please don't hate me" instead of just "sorry" and more importantly "are you ok?" is driving me nuts

#like I get it. you *are* sorry. but you sound so selfish rn babygirl #actually I'm not even conviced you *are* sorry about doin Lydia like that. #keep being a reckless madwoman. I love it. but if you're gonna get all remorseful then do it right #and the way she's only hanging out with Ezekiel now that Daryl's not talking to her? #dude deserves so much better #she didn't even ask what his neck lump thing *was*. they just sad-fucked and then she pissed off #and Daryl- #imagine you get your best friend's other best friend trapped in a cave. possibly killed. and you grab him and go 'call me a naughty girl' #now is not the fucking time Carol #wrong response. try again. #didn't even say nothin to Kelly or Yumiko #feels like you only care because Daryl's mad at you #and like you wouldn't even care about Connie or Magna if it wasn't directly your fault #anyways #twd liveblog #the walking dead

A wise woman once said:

Should’ve gone to New Mexico.

She was right, and we won't forget it.

I just saw a post in my memories on Facebook about being in the middle of a bethyl chat from, geez, nine years ago. It made me think of how much I miss those days. We were all so excited, so hopeful. It was just so much fun.

But more than that, I started really missing my chat peeps. The friendships I made. Holy shit, do I miss you all.

I propose we plan a time to meet up and catch up on the discord server. Anyone else?

will forever adore how daryl, for once, put his foot down back at the farm and decided he was done being an errand boy. so often folks ONLY came to him when they needed something and were more than happy to make absolutely zero effort with him the rest of the time, perfectly content to let him isolate himself with little care to get to know him as seriously as their requests were. people knew that he had all the makings of a survivor with a heart of gold to go along with it and i firmly believe that they took advantage of that

#sorry i’m emotional about him and how much better he deserves #plus ik he didn’t stick to his guns on that but atleast we saw a glimpse of him putting himself first #also why the car scene with aaron is so special to me. d is so willing to sacrifice himself and aaron is like uh yea sorry not happening <3 #daryl dixon #💘🪽

Just wanted to come on here and remind everyone that Beth Greene deserved better and her death was one of the shittiest pieces of writing I have ever seen on TV. Remember: cheap shock value does not a good episode make. Anyway, enjoy your spin-offs with the same writing that goes in circles!

Hope no other female gets fridged for Daryl’s man pain.

I thought I was over The Walking Dead (except for my angel Paul ‘Jesus’ Rovia… NEVER over that one).

Then they announce that the spin off we’re getting is Daryl in Paris with Clémence Poésy (ooh la la) AND Adam Nagaitis (the other sexy grungy man other than Norman Reedus)?!

Bisexual panic! 🥺

thinking about the way daryl constantly places himself between aggressive men and the people he loves

#he directs anger onto himself and lets himself get hurt with zero hesitation #the way he sees his own pain as inconsequential if it means his family is safe #he can take it #better him than others #the main ones off the top of my head are tyrese when carol kills his girlfriend and the gang in s4 when they surround rick michonne and carl #and most obviously negan #daryl has so much fear especially of loud men #you see it most in s2 but it by no means goes away #but in the moments that his ptsd is justified and he could flinch away like he normally responds he directly puts himself in harms way #he must be so triggered in those moments and he still doesnt hesitate #daryl dixon breaks my heart and he deserves so much more than the show gives him #rest in peace. now get up and go to war #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #daryl dixon #twd #the walking dead

[I don't know if I'm the tv insider mentioned (You seem to have a few...?) in the ask about why interviewers don't ask more hardcore questions. If I'm the wrong person, don't post this? lol]

Like MT said, there's nothing spontaneous about an interview. The actor's team gets the questions in advance and they'll nix anything they don't want to answer. They may also feed the interviewer questions or insist on a certain angle. Reporters have a symbiotic relationship with actors and managers, so you won't see anyone playing hardball. If somebody gets interrogated by Oprah, she won't care if she gets blocked on twitter in retaliation, but for smaller fish, it impacts their livelihood.

The "Melissa needs a break" excuse came from JDM's camp initially, but I think they're both committed to that narrative because it makes you look less unlikable than saying, 'Yeah, she got shafted. Sucks to be her.' Melissa and Angela have confidentiality clauses in their exit agreements, so we won't hear them speak about any of this. (I'm not an entertainment lawyer, but I have signed this type of paperwork, so I know what it usually entails.)

@retiredkat commented on a previous response of mine, asking if MT and/or I (not sure who was addressed) think that Andrew Lincoln was aware that Melissa would get jettisoned from the spinoff. I can't see a scenario where AMC would have informed him and when he was in GA, they were still navigating aspects of the situation, but crew gossip probably got to him too.

99.9% sure you're the tv insider they meant haha Thanks for elaborating!
