Annie Smith appreciation post

[ionlylikemycat]

negan, annie chose you

she knew what you’d done. she knew what kind of man you were and are and would be. she made her choice and that was a life together, with you, and. your. child.

she chose to raise her son with his father who loved him. an admittedly flawed man, but still her husband and joshua’s father. she did not choose to get sent to bumfuck missouri while you stayed behind to wallow in your self destructive tendencies and woe is me i’m too evil to ever love or be loved bullshit

i stg if annie doesn’t show up to smack some sense into you i will crawl though the fourth wall to do it for her. get your shit together

my actual genuine critiques of The Walking Dead

hey im about to watch TWD series finale and had some things i wanted to talk about here! also disclaimer, i think TWD is a fantastic show. there's not many shows i can say ive avidly watched for eleven straight seasons and not been bored by (i abandoned Supernatural after season 7). it's one of the most famous shows in cable history for a reason! but there are some things i thought were weird or just...? never brought up again? also, i have not watched ANY of the spinoffs yet, so if any of these are addressed in another series, lmk!

idk if ill get flamed for this but i did not like how Michonne was written. this is NOT me saying i didn't like Michonne, i adore her and she's a good character. but i don't feel that they developed who she was prior to the apocalypse enough. what details were given felt thrown-in and weren't very fleshed out. a lot of her significance is entirely tied to Rick and their relationship. i don't even remember if they gave her a last name. this is excusable for some characters who are mostly supporting cast members, but Michonne is a MAIN character. like guys. idk maybe some things just got lost in translation?

im not super critical of this one, but i wish they had fleshed out the significance of Daryl and Leah's relationship a little more. it felt like he moved on from that a little fast. like that is the ONLY real romantic relationship he's ever had and once he killed her it was just... done. idk it felt a little one-and-done to me

i just generally want to see more of RJ? why does no one ever talk about RJ? his momma disappeared and they just stopped caring about him like guys Where Is He

again, im not very critical of this one because Annie was introduced in the last half of the last season, so that's not a lot of time for... anything, but like, i didn't fully understand where she came from or when Negan met her. it's possible that i just got confused because of all the time skips that happened in s11 but . when did you meet her and how did you get married and pregnant this fast. but maybe a detail got lost in translation for me?

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY DID DARYL DANCE AROUND CONNIE like i just DO NOT understand what the purpose of EXPLICITLY stating that Daryl wanted her just for Nothing to happen. like im not sure what the point was. and why not? the ONE healthy relationship that he's been offered this whole time? like Hello?

i AM critical of this one: WHY did nobody mourn Tara?? or Enid? like the only person who mourned Enid was Alden and then he fucking Died? like i understand the big thing was Henry and yes that one hit me the hardest, but we moved on from Tara's death REALLY REALLY fast. like insanely fast. what are we talking about.

more minor thing but i wish Daryl and Carl had more screentime together when Carl was still alive ☹️

i never got the chance to care about Siddiq. like i was excited to get a new character and the fact that Carl had sacrificed SO much to help him (literally his own life) but genuinely he lasted what? a season and a half if that? yes he was the doctor and Rosita's baby daddy but. he was just the doctor and Rosita's baby daddy. and then he DIED and we moved on really fast! why??

ok that's all i got for you!! if any of this is just because I missed some major details somehow then tell me, maybe i need to rewatch?? idk

Annie: "You know, it wouldn’t kill you to be nice to my husband once in a while."

Maggie: "We don’t know that."

Oh hey since they aged Hershel up into a teenager for Dead City that means we'll probably get to see Negan's kid as like a toddler if not like a full grown child

My Eagerly Awaited Thoughts About Annie and Negan

Honestly, coming out of this episode, I don't hate them as much as I thought. Annie honestly seems pretty cool and I think she and Negan have chemistry. HOWEVER, I hate the way she and her baby are being used. To me, it's perfectly clear that she and the baby are being used to set up Negan and Maggie as foils. This is a problem because they literally already were.

Part of the beauty of Maggie and Negan's story is that their journeys mirror each other. Negan lost Lucille, Maggie loses Glenn. While this solidifies Maggie's morals and encourages her to fight for the good, Negan completely loses his old world morals and becomes a force of evil. (I don't actually think Negan is a truly evil human being but that's beside the point). His killing Glenn is infuriating because he KNOWS how it feels and yet takes him from her anyway. That's literally the whole point. Their arc is supposed to conclude with both of them realizing that, and Maggie realizes that the best way to heal is to make sure he never forgets that they are both the same in that aspect. And so she lets him live. Negan is supposed to realize that they're the same too, that what he did was truly wrong, and that their journey is in Maggie's hands now. (There's a lot of shit leading up to this revelation for the record. Like a LOT. But once he realizes he throws the ball in Maggie's court). Annie throws this whole thing off.

Negan getting a wife and child doesn't make Maggie and him even. It gives him the fucking upper hand. Percy said she's there to make sure Maggie can't kill him without being just as bad as Negan and I completely agree. Everything about this episode showed me that Annie is nothing more than a plot device to steer their narrative in the wrong direction. Either Maggie comes out looking worse (which is unforgivable) or she and Negan come out being besties (which is also unforgivable). And even if Maggie doesn't kill Annie and she and the baby die at someone else's hands, this still doesn't even the score. BECAUSE IT ALREADY WAS.

Y'all know I love Negan, but at this point, even I can admit he doesn't deserve to be redeemed. It doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't work in the story in general. All this does is vilify Maggie. It's tired writing, nonsensical, and just plain sad.

As said earlier, I honestly like Annie, and she deserves better than to be a white man's shield. Both she and Maggie deserve better, and I'm sorry to all the writers on the show who had far better ideas than this. Everyone is being done dirty like this, and I have given up hope for this show. Shoutout to all the fan fiction writers in the fandom who can do a much better job. Remember, we're canon, actually.

(P.S: Let Hershel shoot Negan. Not fatally, just a leg shot or something. He deserves it).

It's that simple. Leave me.
