Richonne sexual vulnerability and safety
I am beginning a new series where I strictly talk about Richonne’s sexual safety and vulnerability. I understand that smut is engaging and it has its place, however, this series is to investgate the ways Richonne make eachother feel safe sexually, in a predicament where sexual violence would have an uptick, considering there are no rules or justice system in an apocalypse ( there is barely one in our world). Richonne makes each other feel safe emotionally, physically, spiritually, and sexually, but what does that mean? When someone allows you to unravel yourself, in the most intimate way, it speaks to not only the level of love but soulmatism, that Rick and Michonne, two cold hearted K1llers, products of their world, can be funny, sexy, a reflection of the human spectrum of emotion because of how safe they feel being vulnerable with each other. I’ll begin with a scene omitted from the script.
The scene begins with Michonne and Rick talking about their child, as Rick proudly shops for his Junior. Eventually the conversation leads to Rick not only shopping for Junior, but Michonne too, making it a family affair when he picks up a bracelet and the toothpaste. I distinctively enjoy the conversation of Rick admitting that he loved Michonne for a long time but couldn't engage in a romantic relationship because Michonne is his son’s best friend.
(Sidenote: How beautiful that their journey progressed from Rick saying “my son” with Carl, to now being able to say “ Our son” with RJ. Trust, I will talk more on this.)
The scene proceeds with this moment where Michonne grabs Rick and sensually says,
Because he truly did. It was evident that Rick had been wanting to progress things with Michonne, and the SECOND he had the opportunity to do so, he wasted not a single second. The way Rick jumped on Michonne (metaphorically and literally) reminds me of how he immediately proposed to Michonne once he had the ring, after being denied that moment for however long RJ has been alive, thanks to Jadis and the CRM.
Moving on, Rick grabs his wife and immediately says “Is this one?” confirming what we already knew, and that is rick wants his wife, and Michonne knows the hold she has on him,this knowing reflected in the way that she audaciously grabs her husband, while playing coy, allowng him to lead the romance moving forward.
( Another side note. There is something to be said about leading and following when it comes to Richonne and their romantic relationship. Rick and Michonne are both dominant in the world because that is what they had to be, but when they are with each other, they are allowed to be soft and vulnerable. Nevertheless ,that doesn't mean Rick doesn't like it when Michonne takes charge,or Michonne loves it when Rick takes charge. They are so emotionally and sexually balanced, they are like yin and yang. When Rick says “ I love you” to Michonne for the first time on screen, he led, and then the ball was in her court to embrace him, and he reciprocated. It's cohesive. Again, will do a post on this)
Moving on, Rick begins to make out with his wife, enjoying the privacy and the space without threats to affectionately love on his wife, and from the smile Michonne displays while Rick kisses on her neck, she loves being loved and she deserves it. There's a brief second of Michonne relishing in Rick's administration before seeing the notebook. She holds onto his shoulders like a lifeline, feeling safe and secure, and no doubt, hot and bothered, as Rick sucks her skin, unabashedly moaning in her ear, feeling free to let it be known just how much he loves loving his wife, and how much he enjoys her presence. Then Michonne walks away, and Rick looks at her bewildered because they weren't just having a moment…they were about to have sex. I love the subtle moment of Michonne kissing his lips, and mischievously walking away because she knows the fire she just started, and Rick reverberates this, in the way he looks so confused and disappointed in the change of directions. But wait,there is more!
Commercial break to see Rick feeling at home in the crook of Michonne’s neck.
I know the scene is deleted, nevertheless, it still speaks to the safety Rick and Michonne feel for each other sexually. If you haven't already noticed, based on my habit of noticing the details and not letting them go, I am heavily on the spectrum,and I see facts for what they are and not what I want them to be. However, It's fortunate that all of the Richonne facts are what I want them to be, because let's return to this scene and break it down.
“ Lucks holding up… but what if I can't wait that long?”
“ what if I can't wait that long,” is telling in so many ways.First, it's telling in the fact that Rick is admitting that he is sexually aroused. In short, he is hard, and he had no problem telling his wife that. It's one thing to show, but vocalizing your sexual needs is a privilege gifted to those in the healthiest of relationships like Rick and Michonne. Rick, a man who was known to be tight lipped and not talk in his first abusive marriage, felt safe vocalizing that he was ready to be with his wife, not later, NOW.
Which brings me to my next point…
“ What if I can't wait that long, ” allows us to gather that it was understood between the both of them, that they were going to have sex that night…
Essentially,whenever there is a place that is safe enough, they will be enjoying each other's company. Rick and Michonne don't strike me as a couple who schedule their sex lives… it just happens, and because they are always so horny for each other, it happens all of the time. Rick's admission that he couldn't wait that long, without a verbal admission that they were going to get down that night, allows us to see a sneak peek into their sex life, and that is, they have sex ALOT, so much so, that’s it’s assumed in the most healthy and safe way that only Richonne could pull off. But we knew that….
Which scene should I do next?????🫶🏾
