After an unexpected hiatus to attend some personal matters, I’m so very excited to be back writing this story. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement these past few months. It means everything to me. I hope you enjoy this update as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Black Panther *Spoilers*
Again, Warning… *SPOILERS* …

Agree with every word, Lyra, well said! Go see this movie, everyone, you will love it!
Bucket List
Mutuals, followers, anyone…
So, I’ve been meaning to live more and be more active in life because life is too short. But because I know myself, my mind doesn’t conjure up things for me to do that will challenge me or offer me a brand new experience.
So, I want you all to suggest at least one thing for me to do this year. I will make a list from that. And I VOW that I will do one of the things from the list each month. So one bucket list activity per month. And I will videotape myself doing it/my experience so that there’s proof of my doing it and accountability - so that I won’t just get lazy and back out. Of course, please don’t suggest anything illegal or knowingly harmful. :D But give me a reason to have new experiences and make new memories! You can reblog suggestions here, message me, or just send it to my inbox. :D Thanks. I think this is going to be really fun and help me to try new things. I’m going to tag one person I trust to maybe start me off with a suggestion. @siancore
This is a great idea, @lyraverse! Thanks for tagging, and trusting me :)
My suggestion is volunteerism! If you have the time, find an organisation/group/team that accepts volunteers, and see where you might be able to help out - you’re very talented and creative, so you have a lot to offer. Not only will it be good for the people you are helping, but it is wonderful personal development for you. You’ll also learn new skills and build your capacity for leadership. Good luck!
Thanks, @siancore! Great suggestion. Volunteering is something I would definitely do more of if I wasn’t so lazy. So now I have no more excuses. I will find something to volunteer towards in one of the coming months! 1) Volunteer Anyone else got anything for me? @misty-knight @park-bae-jin @ricky-grimes @andy-clutterbuck @mamagrimes6 @miltonsong @ohmyjinkies @bernthalus-christ @jedi-master-aurora @neecee81
@lyraverse -what a great idea! I would like to add this one: Go for a long hike! There are many benefits to this. If you’re not really outdoorsy, it will challenge and stretch you. If you’re stressed and super busy, it will force you to ‘get away from it all’. Hike somewhere you’ve never been and allow yourself to discover something new about this crazy world we’re living in and listen to the birds while you’re at it!
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season (whether you celebrate or not). Here’s a little holiday fluff from me to you. I definitely meant to post these guys before the holidays were over but as usual, I’m late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
💖💖💖
Breathtaking, heartwarming, beautiful.....this is art that lifts the spirits and brings warmth to cold winter days. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
A little holiday cheer from me to you! I’m already working on the next update so you won’t have to wait nearly as long this time. Thanks for all your support.
Dear Scott Gimple
I have a question for you that needs an honest answer.
Who are you writing for?
Every experienced writer, especially one who gets paid for what they do, writes with their audience in mind. How will they relate to the characters? Will they come along for ride? Will they care, be invested and leave satisfied? Writers write for themselves, sure, but if they want book sales, ticket sales or ratings, they have to write for others as well.
So, by killing Carl Grimes, who exactly are you writing for?
I truly want to know because I can only come up with a list of you are not writing for.
The millions of viewers who became loyal fans due to their devotion to the story of Rick Grimes and his family.
The comic readers who have followed fifteen years' worth of issues and have watched the focus of the story often veer from Rick to his son, Carl.
The 18-49 demographic who have more options now than they ever have for their viewership. Options that include cohesive writing, fleshed out and developed characters, fresh concepts and budget money well spent.
The Rick fans who were resigned to his eventual death as long as he succeeded in what he's always set out to do...raise his son to be a survivor and someone who would be able to navigate the world and lead once he was gone.
The Michonne fans who watched an amazing and beautiful friendship develop between a grieving mother and a traumatized young boy. A friendship that would help heal their broken hearts and show them that love can still grow after death.
The Grimes 2.0 fans who watched a family form that was healthy and nurturing and that gave each of them purpose, energy and motivation to carve a life out of their terrible world instead of just surviving.
Who are you writing for, Mr. Gimple? Who will embrace this decision, understand it, appreciate it, nod their heads and say job well done?
If you can't answer that question...if it's a question you perhaps only considered fleetingly, then that's an answer in itself.
Once a writer stops writing for anyone but themselves, they dissolve the partnership between them and their audience. They cut the ties between them and their readers...their viewers.
Perhaps the rest of your story will have this all make sense. Perhaps the writing will make it all clear and our confusion, grief and anger will become but a memory.
Which is it Mr. Gimple? Is the rest of this story going to be for you? For the people who pay you? Or will it be for the audience who is still here?
I hope you consider your answer very carefully.
Has the heart of TWD stopped beating?
I became a fan of this show solely based on Rick Grimes wanting nothing more than to find his family and keep them safe. I cared for this man and happily went along for the ride that was his crazy life in the zombie apocalypse.
The whole premise of this show, the heart of this show is Rick and his family. His loved ones, his children and all of the family he met along the way. The heart of this show is the will to survive, to live in order to create a future for the next generation. To keep one another safe, to build a community.
For me, personally, the heart of this show is and was Carl Grimes.
Carl is a child of the apocalypse. He’s killed, suffered tragic loss, gone down a dark path and found his way again. Carl is his father’s son and every vision I had of the end of Rick’s story included Carl picking up the mantle of leadership. Even with Rick’s inevitable death, hope reigned because Carl made it. Rick achieved what he set out to do because his son would carry on.
That’s all gone now. Carl will die as a young teenager and will never get the chance to have a family of his own. Will never have the chance to show his parents (yes, Michonne is his parent) that everything they instilled in him, everything they taught him, would allow him to live a long life and allow him to pass that knowledge down to future generations.
Rick and Michonne will continue to live. Team Family will continue to live. They will get up and go to war but to what end? For what reason? When Carl’s heart stops beating, so does the heart of this show. I truly believe that.
And my heart will be broken with it.
So excited to be sharing this update as I introduce some familiar faces to this AU ZA world Rick and Michonne are living in. You didn’t think I’d have them go it alone, did you? ; ) Enjoy! Feedback is always welcome.
Finally got this one out after falling a bit behind with my WSC Atlanta trip last weekend! This chapter was fun to write as it involved a bit more plot and forward momentum. As always, feedback is welcome!
This weekend was a dream come true as I had the opportunity to meet the actors behind the characters that I will never tire writing about. Danai and Andy were gracious, beautiful and completely amazing. The true high point for me from WSC Atlanta? Meeting 23 of my fellow Richonne shippers and realizing very quickly that this fandom is made up of the best, the brightest, the funniest and the most badass fans in the whole damn world. Love you ladies!!
Credit for this beautiful fan art for my Queen of Hearts fic goes to @ricky-grimes! :andykiss:
It's so fitting that Andy explained Rick telling Michonne that he loves her in this way:“I like to think it’s said in my eyes every time that we speak.”
Andy has been playing Rick with heart eyes for Michonne since before they were canon. The way Rick looked at Michonne all those seasons ago is one of the reasons I started shipping them. It’s actually pretty great to hear this from the man who brings Rick Grimes to life. It validates what many of us have known for a long time: Rick looks at Michonne with absolute love and adoration.
For example 🤤
Amen to that. Rick has always said so much with his gaze. It’s what kept us warm and fed pre-canon remember?
I love Andy for saying this.
Quality questions to ask Andy and Danai at their WSC panel
To Andy & Danai: Will Rick and Michonne ever tell each other that they love each other?
To Andy & Danai: What has been your favorite scenes filming together?
To Andy & Danai: How do you feel about the positive fan feedback you’ve received regarding the Richonne relationship?
To Andy & Danai: You and others have referred to Say Yes as Rick and Michonne’s honeymoon episode. Do you consider them married now?
To Andy & Danai: When do you think Rick started to fall in love with Michonne? Do you think he knew before he set out to get her toothpaste or did his feelings catch him off-guard? And Danai, what moment do you think she started to catch feelings as well, even ones she wasn’t aware of?
To Andy & Danai: The meeting at the fence was epic and launched a million shippers. What direction were you given for that scene? It definitely came across as a big moment for both characters.
To Andy & Danai: During the initial casting process for Michonne, was there a chemistry test? Or was the chemistry between Rick and Michonne noticed only after your first scenes?
To Andy & Danai: Has falling in love made your character softer or fiercer and why?
To Andy & Danai: How will their relationship progress this season?
To Andy & Danai: Do you think Rick and Michonne will plan to have a child together or does it happen by accident?
To Danai: Danai, do you know about the richonne poem Andy read in Madrid?
To Danai: What does Michonne’s ‘M’ necklace represent?
To Danai: Since they haven’t given Michonne a last name, what do you think it was or what would you have liked it to be?
To Danai: What character or characters do you want Michonne to have more scenes with and why?
To Danai: What do you think about Negan’s creepy harem?
To Andy: Did Rick gave Carl “the talk”?
To Andy: Where’s that extra 7.12 footage you were talking about at Paleyfest? Can you find it for us and leak the footage, please?
To Andy: Does Rick know about Michonne’s son, Andre?
To Andy: Why did Rick snitch to Morgan about Michonne stealing that protein bar?
To Andy: Is there anything Rick wouldn’t do for Michonne if she asked?
To Andy: What is the major difference between his relationship with Lori and the one he now has with Michonne?
REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD 😊
I cannot wait for the Richonne panel! An ENTIRE panel of Danai and Andy. I’ll be the crazy lady grinning from ear to ear the whole time.
Rick and Michonne in 7.01 – The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be
Look at Rick dreaming of his wedding to Michonne!
“This is our home now, so you’ll learn to start to call me by my name. Not Marsha. Not Dear. Not Honey. Maggie. Maggie Rhee.”
So, here goes, my second reinterpretation of an AOW comic book cover. Issue #124…with a most important addition that was missing in the originals.
As usual:***Please reblog, DO NOT repost / crop / edit / tweet / instagram or claim as your own. Thank you!***
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for your support of my story of teenage Richonne in the ZA! I’m having a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy.

Why JDM Screwed Up & Continues to Miss the Point
I thought I’d blog my opinions on The Shirt™ and JDM’s social media tirade.
Keep reading
Excellent points! JDM’s original post and subsequent ‘apologies’ did nothing more than tell me that he is grossly un and mis-informed about the state of racism in America and why BLM even exists. He needs to take several seats.
