Just a reminder that people who still live with their parents as adults deserve respect and for you to stop being ableist. There are multiple reasons someone could still live with their parents! From invisible to visible disabilities, finance issues, and more!
Stop using the āwell theyāre gonna turn into a creep living in their parents basementā punchline! Itās disgusting. STOP. BEING. ABLEIST. STOP. FORGETTING. THE. POOR.
šļø My Top 10 Most Anticipated Moments in the Richonne spin-off:
It's been like one long celebration in my mind since it was confirmed Richonne is coming back to us. We're finally going to see Rick and Michonne's story continue and close out in what I believe will be a truly beautiful way. I'll forever be rejoicing over them and this spinoff. While I don't know what all is in store, I compiled the ten things I most can't wait for and hope to see when our lovely Richonne returns.
#1: Michonne telling Rick they have a son š„¹
For some reason imagining this moment when Rick first learns he has a son is what chokes me up the most. This exchange makes me emotional for so many reasons but especially because Michonne didnāt know if sheād ever get to look at Rick and tell him that they really did build for the future like they wanted. But now she will, and Rick will get to know the child he wanted with her is really alive and well and out there somewhere. Iām so curious how sheāll reveal the news about their adorable little prince. And Iām especially curious how Rick will react. I know itāll be so emotional and rewarding to see and I cannot wait.
#2: The moment Rick and Michonne reunite š„³
This epic love story is bound to have an epic first reunion between them. There are so many amazing ways their initial reunion could go. I keep thinking about who will lay eyes on the other first. How shocked will they be that theyāre really back together at that moment, etc. All I know is itāll have me ascending the second we have R&M back on screen together. And whether the moment is a quiet or busy one, the emotion will be palpable, riveting, and beautiful.
#3: Rick and Michonne reuniting with their kids and Rick officially meeting RJ š„°
When the Grimes family is back together, the joy (and waterworks) will be never-ending. I am so stoked about this moment. I canāt wait for Mama Michonne to be back with her kids. I canāt wait for Judith to finally get to embrace her dad as Rick gets to see how incredible she grew up to be (and how much sheās like Michonne.) Iām excited that Andy and Cailey will likely get to act together finally. Plus I'm excited for Rick to hear Judith call Michonne mom since we hadnāt had a scene of that when he was still on the show.
And among this Grimes family reunion is also an extremely significant Grimes family introduction so you already know I am beyond excited and anticipating Rick finally meeting his son RJ. That moment will end me and I aināt mad at it. I so hope they keep the original RJ actor just so it doesnāt feel as much like a random kid. But no matter what, I will be absolutely elated to see this father and son, Rick and RJ Grimes, together at last.
#4: Hearing Rick call Michonne his wife & officially hearing āMichonne Grimesā at some point in the show š
Tbh this is not just a want for me, itās a need lol. I so badly hope to hear Rick refer to Michonne as his wife. Donāt get me wrong, if we donāt get it that doesnāt make the relationship any less valid. Theyāre a love supreme regardless. I just feel like with Michonne wearing his ring, itās clear she views him as a husband and sheās so clearly his wife so Iād love to hear him say it. And I really want it to just be officially canon that she is Michonne Grimes. That way all the publications that report on them can call them what they are. They are as married as can be lol. And Iād love to hear that confirmed in the show.
#5: A Kiss Of Life š
No one does passion like Richonne. Period. I love every heavenly kiss of theirs and I hope we get several in the spin-off, but especially one that rivals my current fav - the KOL in 7x05.
#6: āI Love Youāsā and every sweet vocalization of that sentiment āŗļø
Rick and Michonne have both said so many seriously sweet and romantic stuff to each other on TWD. Like it could be a whole other list of its own. And Iām so looking forward to more of those lines that just stop you in your tracks at how beautiful, adoring, and loving they are. And Iād of course love to hear blatant I Love Youās again too.
#7: A Carl reference š
I feel thereās gotta be some reference to Carl in the spin-off, even if subtle. R&M love him too much for Carl to just not be mentioned. So Iām looking forward to how the memory of Carl will be honored through them. Plus, a heartfelt Carl reference along with the Grimes family reunion means every member of Grimes 2.0 will have been noted in the spin-off. I also personally would love to finally hear what Carl wrote in his letter to Michonne, even tho I know time is limited with just 6 eps. No matter what we get, Iām looking forward to any moving recognition of the kid who helped Rick and Michonne see they were meant to be family.
Rick and Michonne are all things and I adore every side of their versatile characters and relationship. So I cannot wait for those quieter private moments between them where they get to be human with each other and just give each other life in every way. I know with just 6 eps we wonāt see Rick get briefed on all he missed while away, but Iām curious what he will learn about. Like I could see him reacting to her X scar at the least. And then of course, since Rick and Michonne are also the baddest to ever do it, I canāt wait to see them back to being a force to be reckoned with together and fighting the fight like the icons they are.
#9: Callbacks & Parallels š
Iām always here for a Richonne callback and good parallels. And theyāve had some great callbacks in the past, from protein bars to damn gorgeous cat statues, so Iām looking forward to more. One parallel Iād personally love is hearing Rick reflect on Michonne with someone, similar to how she reflected on him in season 10 with the āthat walkā scene. Like I love that we got to hear Michonne remark on an outer attribute she loved of his and Iād love to hear Rick voice a physical quality he loves and misses too. And I also wouldnāt be surprised if thereās an indicator that during their time apart Rick hallucinated or talked to her like she talked to him. You know they both tend to see thangs lol. So it would be fitting. But all and all, these two both have been shown to be really sentimental when it comes to each other so Iām curious what all theyāll recall and what parallels will be made.
#10: Rick and Michonne getting a happy ending and growing old together š¤
Ok this is just my personal biggest wish for the greatest couple of all time. They so deserve a happy ending. I hope we get to know and even see that they closed out their story growing old together and having got lots of time with their children and their eventual grandchildren. Like I just keep having this final vision of the two of them older and still as in love as ever while having a sweet dynamic with an adult RJ and Judith. And imagine seeing Rick holding RJās baby after not getting to hold him as a baby. š And then of course in my ideal world weād just end the series and their story with a final shot of Rick and Michonne holding hands. Itās their signature thing. āŗļø
These moments and more are what Iām hoping for and looking forward to, but Iāll be happy and grateful for whatever is in store during the final chapter of our precious Richonneās awe-inspiring story. Weāve been blessed ten times over by the fact that a literal Richonne miniseries exists (like seriously couldnāt even dream of a better conclusion for them than a show dedicated to them that is actively being marketed as an epic love story) and I canāt wait for the Richonne gold to just keep pouring in. Richonne has been gold since the beginning and will be til the very end. šš½š
