AMC about Daryl:

“We could make him gay?”

AMC: nah

“We could make him aroace?”

AMC: nah

“We could pair him with the disabled black woman he has insane chemistry with and learned sign language for?”

AMC: You’re out of your mind.

“Well we gotta do something!”

AMC: l got it! Let’s make a white, blond love interest for him who he has no chemistry with or morals in common with!

“Idk if that’ll be ideal…”

AMC: Oh! And make him act completely out of character the whole time!

“Can we at least give the fans something to make up for the shit show we’re about to give them?”

AMC: yeah lets give him a dog

“Cool, what’s the dogs name gonna be?”

AMC: I got it! Dog!

Connie and Daryl THE WALKING DEAD

[theyreunderadumpster]

Isn't it wild how after nine seasons Daryl had amazing natural chemistry with a well liked naturally introduced character, that even most of the other queer Daryl enthusiasts I know would have been happy to see him with, and then Kang dropped it because "availability issues" and then Daryl's next two forced love interests were back to back white blonde women? Anyway I'll be over here thinking about that on this fine Saturday afternoon. ✨️

Connie and Daryl’s progression was literally perfect. as a veteran of the x reader genre both in reading and writing, this was the first time I’d watched a romance blossom w a favourite character and NOT thought “oh I need to rewrite/add to this scene immediately-“ bc there are no notes (EXCLUDING the random one-off ep of Daryl’s romantic affair episode that should’ve been some kind of s6 fan service like Idm the ep but let’s not have it intrude on the most beautifully subtle love story twd has ever seen); it’s all in the subtext. the ASL book in Daryl’s pocket. the way he’d peak over Connie’s notes as she wrote them for him. her making him smile and laugh more than anyone else we’ve ever seen in the show. him trusting her w Dog. his understanding of her bond w her sister and by extension taking her sister under his wing. his grief at the thought of losing her even after only knowing her a short time. NOTHING felt forced. NOTHING felt ooc. the ONLY complaint I have is that we didn’t have more time w them. I wouldn’t change a single thing about their timeline except for the fact we needed more of them.

“CONNIE IS DARYL’S ENDGAME” I scream as I’m dragged by security from the writer’s room of the Daryl spinoff and into a padded cell.

random twd headcanon: connie, outside of being a journalist for the commonwealth, teaches sign language classes with kelly’s help, since many people through out the years start becoming hard of hearing from all the gunfire of the early apocalypse days.

It's really surprising to me that there isn't an officially recognized "Daryl's Group" (at least not that i've seen) within the Walking Dead when S10-11 he more or less is basically leading this entire group.
