     she   can   see   through   this   ANGRY   FACADE   he’s   putting   on.      inside   is   STILL   that   man   from   the   highway,   the   one   who   SAVED   THEM.      the   one   who   CONTINUED   to   save   her   after   that.      she   knows   that   he’s   HURTING   from   all   this   stuff   with   rick   and   lori,   feeling   like   an   OUTCAST.      but   carol   STILL   BELIEVES   IN   HIM.      ❝   you   know   you’re   not   alone,   right?   ❞

*     I  just  want  to  take  a  second  to  throw  out  a  post  of  positivity  for  @miserybled.

So  before  I  start,     if  you’re  not  following  Catie  you  should  go  up  to  her  tag  on  top  and  click  it  and  then  immediately  hit  the  follow  button  because  wowie.     Catie’s  portrayal  of  Shane  is  literally  a  fave  and  this  is  coming  from  someone  who  has  been  writing  him  herself  on  and  off  for  a  few  years  now.     Her  take  on  him  is  so  different  and  it  just  makes  perfect  sense  and  just  going  on  her  blog  and  reading  through  headcanons  and  threads  you  can  just  see  how  much  thought  and  love  has  gone  into  her  portrayal.     She  writes  a  character  that  is  flawed  without  erasing  his  said  flaws  or  tossing  them  to  the  side.     She  embraces  the  flaws  and  uses  them  when  she  writes  and  I  am  just  left  looking  like  the  heart  eyed  emoji  every  time  I  write  with  her / read  anything  she  writes.

I  don’t  think  I’ve  ever  written  a  ship  this  developed  in  not  one  verse  but  multiple  verses.     Like  I  didn’t  think  this  would  happen  but  here  we  are  and  I’m  obsessed.     I  love  all  the  different  stories  we  basically  get  to  tell  and  rewrite  and  I  don’t  know  I’m  just  super  happy  and  super  thankful  to  have  someone  I  can  come  and  bother  about  this  ship  of  ours  and  IDK !!!!!     

Basically  you  deserve  all  the  good  things  and  I’m  happy  to  have  you  around  pal.

the  scavenger  sits  in  a  chair  not  far  from  the  bed  waiting  for  their  latest  visitor  to  rouse  from  his  bouts  of  unconsciousness.  should  he  remember  much  when  he  wakes?  paul  isn’t  sure.  when  he  brought  the  man  in  he  was  barely  on  his  feet,  spouting  gibberish  and  mumbling  things  that  didn’t  make  much  sense.  when  eyes  flutter  and  breathing  steadily deepens  to  announce  his  presence  into  the  conscious  world  paul  doesn’t  make  any  sudden  movements,  but  speaks  in  an  even  calming  tone  just  as  he  always  would. 

 ‘i  was  wondering  when  you’d  wake  up.  i  need  you  to  stay  calm  alright.  you’re  extremely  dehydrated  and  it  looks  like  you  haven’t  eaten  much  in  who  knows  how  long.”  hands  interlace  fingers  over  his  laps  as  he  leans  slightly  forward  so  the  other  can  see  him  more  clearly.  ‘what’s  your  name?  it’s  okay.  we’re  not  going  to  hurt  you.”  the  man  is  frail  and  he’s  obviously  seen  better  days,  paul  can’t  help  but  wonder  just  how  long  the  other  was  out  there  by  himself  clinging  to  life.

I want to just say that miserybled is probably my favorite Shane that has ever been in this fandom. I can actually visualize him in the threads that they have on their blog and I've never once read something they've posted and not been able to hear his voice crystal clear. If you're not following, you definitely should be.              for  @miserybled,           from  anonymous.

               It  felt  just  as  surreal  holding  Judith  in  her  arms  as  it  did  when  she’d  first  held  Carl;     going  from  carrying  this  growing  life  inside  of  you  to  finally  being  able  to  reach  out  and  touch  your  baby’s  face  was  indescribable.     She’d  forgotten  the  overwhelming  feeling  that  took  hold  and  filled  her  with  goodness  when  she  looked  down  at  the  sleeping  baby.     A  perfect  being  in  an  imperfect  world,     new  life  in  a  place  that  had  died  around  them.     Lori’s  smile  spreads  wide  across  freckled  features  as  she  instinctively  begins  to  sway  side  to  side.

               throat   aches,   she’s   not   sure   if   it’s   from   the   choking   or   the   crying.      it’s   one   of   the   cons   being   surrounded   by   people   in   this   camp.      the   attacks   are   less   often,   but   when   they   happen?      they’re   extreme,   and   she’s   left   suffering   for   days.      carol   tries   to   hide   it,   but   the   signs   are   probably   obvious   to   most.      still,   she   keeps   pretending   it’s   normal,   that   everything   is   fine   and   peachy   in   her   life.      she   can’t   describe   how   much   guilt   she   feels,   letting   this   continue   when   she   has   a   child   to   protect.      he   never   touches   sophia,   carol   makes   sure   of   it   even   if   it   costs   her   severely.      it   did   last   night,   and   she   knows   people   are   probably   wondering   why   she   would   dare   wear   a   turtle   neck   in   this   high   atlanta   heat.

               hands   grasp   the   edge   of   the   ironing   board.      it’s   not   a   sturdy   thing   to   hold   onto,   but   she   feels   like   she   may   faint.      her   own   damn   fault,   but   she   can’t   let   the   bruising   around   her   neck   be   so   easily   seen   by   others.      ❝   i   just   need   a   minute.   ❞      carol   doesn’t   even   know   who   has   approached,   for   eyes   are   closed   as   she   focuses   on   breathing,   trying   to   push   away   the   light   headed   feeling.      ❝   i’ll   be   fine.   ❞

@miserybled — ❝ i’m not good for you, trust me. ❞

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 — but the crackling of the fire only emphasized the enormity of this gap that had been forged between them. It was clear that time hadn't eased any hurts, that it hadn't made any part of their situation and relationship less complicated or tense but this was a conversation that needed to be had. Their lives were intertwined deeper than most and despite it all, Lori knew that they were lucky to be able to have even had the opportunity to sit in this uncomfortable silence with one another. Despite everything that had happened between them, despite the world falling to pieces, they still had somehow made their way back to one another.

❝ I don't even know where to begin tacklin' that statement, Shane. ❞ Lori drew in a deep breath, hoping it might instill some sort of grounding that was desperately needed for this talk. She lifted her gaze to look at him. There was a new hardness to him, something that had changed bone-deep and it hit her harder than she'd expected it to. ❝ Don't I get a say in any of that? Or have you gone and just made the decision for the both of us? ❞
