How long can we go on like this fellow Carylers?
I want to keep #carylpositivity and I still plan to, even in the midst of adversity. However, I can't ignore the elephant in the room. The big clumsy not very smart elephant. Zabel. I know what Zabel has outright told us. Twice. And I'll get back to that. Zabel has continued the trend of what others that came before him have done but on a whole new "I don't give a shit" level. He's been a big tease. Getting us hot and bothered, just to shoot us down completely. Will they, won't they? If that's not a recipe for disaster, idk what is. Caryl fans aren't just seeing what they "want" to see. They have been bringing us to the edge of the cliff for years, just to pull us right back up again. They have teased & teased, added symbolism, tender touching, telling looks, sweet shows of affection, strong emotion from someone who seldom shows any emotion (I'm thinking the "If she gets hit by lightning scene"), jealousy (Ezekiel), giving up everything just to save each other... Then Zabel opens his big mouth again to basically say Caryl will not happen, AND THEN the teaser comes out the same day and shows CARYL in an intimate pose by the firelight with her shirt off her shoulder and Daryl close by? And Zabel has the audacity to say "I don't see them as romantic". 😡😡🤬🤬 He is stillllllllll gaslighting Carylers and using little hints to keep us barely hoping while flat out saying it won't happen??? Wth! What a brazen, ridiculous, stupid thing to do! AMC if you don't kick him to the curb, you've lost most of your fan base. How will you come back from that? I don't plan to give AMC my money or my time just to be beat down again and again. But I'm a caryl fan. Caryl til the end. As long as the show is still on air, I will maintain hope. I will watch for signs from the fan base that there's a reason to come back (and it better be EXPLICIT); none of these pathetic attempts to keep us hanging on with 0 payoff. I will come back and stick with them as long as they will keep seasons coming IF Caryl canon happens. Until then, I'll be over here still sad and beaten down, but standing strong in my belief that Caryl is and has always been romantic. I won't give up hope, as long as there's any life left. Kick Zabel to the curb and give us a showrunner who loves Caryl as much as we do. A showrunner who will give us a beautiful romantic EPIC story for Caryl that we know has been hiding in the shadows all along. @AMC_TV
