Post from Norman, who has wrapped on Daryl Dixon season 4 as of today. Thanks to @stillaswind for notifying me of this, as I have been out of the loop this week. Both @wdway and @twdmusicboxmystery noticed that the post, which simply features a screenshot from Twitter, also features a screenshot from 5.10 "Them."

@bookqueenrules re: "Them" template. Interesting he'd use this screenshot, no?

I like to watch TWD team delusional analysis videos in my spare time from TWDmusicboxmystery

I just watched the one about Beth being around the 8 ball in pool. There is one next to her in 5x9, and Daryl references the 8-ball twice in Still.

I used to play pool growing up and one thing that stuck out to me was that the eight ball is separate from the other balls and you pocket it last at the end of the game to win.

However, I plugged it into chat GPT to get a few more facts and I thought that they were pretty intriguing to the story.

A few team delusional things to note first is that we believe that Beth's story is happening outside of the main story on its own path and that it's connected to the end story or a cure. They had to get through the main story or comic books before they could return to the stories that Gimple set up in season 4.

Here are some clear, straightforward facts about the 8-ball in pool:

General Facts

The 8-ball is the black ball in pool and is numbered 8.

It is part of the solids group (balls numbered 1–7 are solids, 9–15 are stripes).

In the game of 8-ball pool, the black 8-ball is not assigned to either group (solids or stripes). Instead, it is a separate ball that both players must pocket last to win.

Standard pool balls are 2.25 inches (57 mm) in diameter and weigh about 5.5–6 oz (156–170 g), including the 8-ball.

Gameplay Role

The game is named after the 8-ball because it is the final object ball that determines the winner.

Players must first clear their group (solids or stripes) before attempting the 8-ball.

Pocketing the 8-ball too early results in an automatic loss.

To legally win, a player must call the pocket before shooting the 8-ball (in most rule sets).

If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break shot, depending on house or league rules, it may be a win, a loss, or require a re-rack.

Cultural & Symbolic Facts

The black 8-ball is often seen as a symbol of luck or fate, sometimes good, sometimes bad (“behind the 8-ball” means in a tough spot).

Magic 8-Ball toys were inspired by the pool ball, used for fortune-telling.

The 8-ball is commonly featured in tattoos, logos, and pop culture as a symbol of mystery, chance, or risk.

This whole campaign The Walking Dead is doing about living vs surviving is reminding me so much of Beth's voiceover in 4x10 Inmates.

"If you don't have hope, what's the point of living?"

[emsee22]

"First you survived what happened. Then you start living again."

The episode after Beth died was called what happened and what is going on. This post got my team delusional brain working because it says first you survived what happened. I just think that's such an interesting word choice. First you survive and then you start living again..

And if you don't have hope, what is the point of living? Bet on Hope

Oh my gosh you guys

I found the article

Almost 2 years ago I claimed that I found an article of a Scott Gimple interview where he said that the group pairing of Beth and Daryl was one that he was certain of and he planted that seed in season 4 episode 1. I have been kicking myself for not copying this article 2 years ago when I first saw it. But today I described it to chat GPT and I found it and I am so ecstatic.

"When the characters scattered after the mid-season finale, there was nothing random about the pairings. How did you figure out who ends up with whom?"

Gimple: Daryl and Beth was one I was certain of. You can see it in Episode 401. And I was very certain of Bob and Sasha being together because their story is very much intertwined. I knew that Maggie and Glenn would be apart. Then there was the Abraham/Rosita/Eugene of it. I do remember that it was like fantasy football. Drafting different characters.

The easiest thing in the world—wait, that’s waaaay overstating it—it made it much easier that we knew what the emotional stories of the characters were. We had talked those out. So making sure we could play out those emotional stories very much dictated how those groups were composed.

Emily Kinney story

First she posts a quote about how we are all aching for light. Beth is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Then she has a gift from Hunt a Killer and says ooo I love murder mysteries. Beth's shooting is a murder mystery, given the impossible bullet and Dawn's lips reading "It wasn't me"

This is just my TD take on it, could be nothing

From Emily's story a few days ago. She posted this to her story around the same time AMCs account posted about the light at the end of the tunnel

Norman Reedus absolutely misses Beth Greene, Emily Kinney, and BETHYL! 😍

This video excerpt from the behind-the-scenes show that aired after the September 29th, 2024 season two premiere of the Daryl Dixon spinoff series of The Walking Dead is absolute proof! ☝️😁

Daryl Dixon absolutely fell in love with Beth Greene. 💞

And Melissa sure doesn’t disagree! 😛

Bethyl was, is, and will always be romantic, my dear Bethylers. Do NOT let the haters and the C@rylers tell you differently. 😉

Norman has always shipped his character of Daryl Dixon with Beth Greene on TWD. And this annoys and even angers the C@ryl shippers to no end! 🤣

Bethyl 4-ever! 💘💘

[only-if-these-wings-could-fly]

Let's remember Beth Greene! ❤️🙏🏻

🚨Here we go🚨: The proposal is that on this 10th anniversary of Beth's death, we want to do something special to remember her, so every Sunday from October 20th to November 30th we will post on Twitter, Instagram and Tumbr with the hashtag #BringBethBack #RememberingBethGreene #NormanBringBethBack. The idea is to ask for her, we want to see her once again as a flashback, a hallucination or a dream, which is why we ask Norman (he is the only one who always remembers Beth). Also with this idea is to remember her, remember how beautiful, strong and sweet Beth Greene was. It's been 10 years and we still remember her and miss her! So if you're a Beth fan, join in! Share this post so more Beth fans can join!☺️💫💖

Norman confirming he thought Beth was making a movie on him but Daryl misread the situation after making a move of his own....I do love when the actors confirm Bethyl was always meant to be read romantically.

For those of you who didn’t see Norman Reedus talk about Beth and Daryl on Daryl Dixon: The Return I recorded it for you all
