When I get you Paul T. Scheuring, when i get you Matt Olmstead, when i get you Nicholas Wootton, when i get you Kalinda Vazquez, when i get you Seth Hoffman...
Istg when i get you, for what you did in S4 Ep 22 of Prison Break. WOOO YALL ARE MESSED UP. WHY?
All these Richonne/Grimes Family 2.0 moments came from the mind of Seth Hoffman. I’m working on a post about TWD writers, and I realized most of my favorite moments came from 2 writers: Gimple & Hoffman.
I’ll do another post about Gimple, but I’ll begin by giving Hoffman credit for creating stirring, heart tugging moments on a show about zombies. A couple years ago, AMC did an Emmy campaign themed “Something Human” for TWD. Well, Hoffman finds those human moments over and over again to keep me engaged with these characters. He is a very consistently good writer, but I especially admire how Hoffman always writes Richonne as a strong couple, as co-heads of a strong family unit including Carl & Judith. They are warriors, yes, but Hoffman remembers to have them laugh together and smile at each other and share their inner life with each other as good families do. I am a Richonne/Grimes Family 2.0 fan in great part because of Hoffman’s scripts. I just discovered I’m apparently a MAJOR Seth Hoffman fan. I also noticed Hoffman wasn’t part of any of the things I felt were forced, poorly handled, poorly written, and illogical developments in S5 which makes me appreciate him even more. Just saying.
I hope this post doesn’t jinx anything, and he doesn’t do an about face next season, but I’m was thinking about finding a good snail mail address for Hoffman & sending a thanks for all the great Richonne moments he’s created. Or maybe I’ll just print out this post. Idk, I just feel like doing something nice to acknowledge that his work was greatly appreciated.
Last some background on Seth Hoffman.

Hey everyone! This is my 14 year old daughter's submission to the FanArt Contest for New Leaf Literary Media! It's for the panel that includes Marie Lu (Legend), Leigh Bardugo (Shadow&Bone), Michael DiMartino (Korra) and Seth Hoffman (Walking Dead). If she wins, she'll get a print out of her art signed by all of them! But to win, she needs as many notes as she can. Could y'all do a 14 year old budding artist a favor and like and reblog this? I'll love you all forever! :o) Thanks everyone!
TIMOTHY: Sometimes, we feel God's hand on the back of our neck pushing us towards something. And sometimes, we feel totally abandoned. That's normal. But just because you don't feel something, doesn't mean it's not there. How many people here have gotten sunburned on a cloudy day? You didn't think it was working on you, but it was. God's love is just like that: working for your good, whether you are aware of it or not.
