Hello! This is a sideblog where I keep most of my fannish activities (reblogs, fic ideas, etc).

You might notice me liking, following, or occasionally replying to you from my main tumblr, fivemoon.

Nowadays I'm mostly into The Walking Dead, Daryl/Glenn, Steven Yeun, and Norman Reedus; Supernatural; and Legend of Korra. I've also started watching Teen Wolf.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor,

I’m not really inclined to write fanfic about Shane and Rick, but this tirade just kinda formed while I was busy eating a very large burrito:

You know I never told Lori about how I tried to keep you safe in that hospital? It was a long-shot, but if it weren’t for that, who knows where you’d be. Such a long-shot, I couldn’t bear hoping or letting her hope, so I told her you died, sure, and she and I clung together through the early days of this whole huge mess. You might call that taking advantage, but can you blame me? 

The man that Morgan and then Glenn saved… Would you say it was worth their effort, knowing you turned out like this? Ready to rescue a lost little girl, sure, but also putting able-bodied men to that futile quest as well? Fighters who’d be better deployed keeping your family safe?

Don’t think that your own blood is so sure of your love when you’re out there trying to help everybody else.

I guess it could be something Shane says or something that the version-of-Shane-in-Rick’s-head says.

This reminds me of a point I was trying to get to for my Daryl/Glenn essay…

Also, there needs to be fic telling Glenn’s side of this incident. Rick and the others were ready to shoot up the Vatos for Glenn’s sake (which needs to be addressed for the risky gamble it was, despite the good outcome), and then they find Glenn with the oldsters and completely oblivious to what they almost did. Maybe Guillermo said, “Kid, you’re with us now. Just get used to it,” along with other things that shake Glenn’s faith in the group.

Three Scenes per Episode:  Guts (1/3)
Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood. You the new sheriff come riding in to clean up the town? It wasn’t my intention. Yeah, whatever, yee-haw… you’re still a dumbass. I’m Rick. Thanks. Glenn. You’re welcome.


Of all the things I look forward to the most in Season 3, it is the development of the Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon relationship.
I just love these two actors togetherl. I know the writers are playing up the bromance, but Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus just give the characters’ developing bond such an emotional, visceral punch. 
I think they were meant to be brothers. Shane and Merle were the pretenders to that throne for each of them. 
My three favorite moments:
1) When Daryl approaches Rick after the episode with Shane and tells him, “Ain’t no reason you should have to do all the heavy lifting.” The man is intuitive as hell and, more than that, willing to do some of the harder work of keeping the group together that no one else except Rick seems to comprehend needs to be done.
2) When Dale was attacked and begging for death, it was Daryl who realized that Rick was struggling with having to do yet another wrenching task. When Daryl stepped up and gave Dale a sort of last rites (“sorry brother”), he showed what kind of heavy lifting he was really willing to do. 
3) In the Season 2 finale, when Carl, Hershel and Rick were on the highway and they suddenly hear the sound of a Harley approaching. Daryl rode up and the first person he approached was Rick. The solid, welcoming, man-to-man, brother-to-brother handshake said more about their developing kiinship than a page of dialogue could have done.
Rick knows that, unlike Shane, he will always be able to count on Daryl to do what is right, what is necessary and what is best for everyone, even when it’s hard or distasteful.
And unlike Merle, Daryl knows Rick values him for the competent, smart, intuitive and worthy man he is. 
In another life, they would have been adversaries. Instead, they are brothers.

Glenn: Half-man, half-frog

Found this on Reddit. 

(…I tried uploading this several times because I couldn’t figure out why the gif didn’t work after posting. Completely forgot about 500k file-cap. :P)

I got my mom to watch a couple eps of TWD, and it seems to have taken hold unlike with my dad and brother. She called Shane’s affair with Lori almost as early as I did, and this is a woman who was tripped up by the chronology of the cold open (Rick shooting the zombie girl) and the car convo scene between Shane and Rick. XD

Some things that occurred to me I maybe need to do:

  • Log all instances where Rick’s actually pretty chatty, because Lori and Shane claim he clams up on them
  • Also log all instances where Rick is given shit for leaving his family alone: is this a police thing? A savior complex thing? Or does a man need to go out and do stuff to protect his family and do so with some confidence that the condition he leaves them in doesn’t crumble because people can’t hold their shit together when one or a few others leave?
  • Glenn called Rick a dumbass twice in the first two eps of TWD… I’d like to maybe chat-fic a moment occurring around 2x13 or similarly recent time where he recalls it (and most likely unable to get away with it now, under the Ricktatorship)
  • Gifs of Glenn’s driving the Dodge Challenger
  • read the freaking comics
