Duck watched as Sam, a dog he’d come across, trotted in front of him. James had come across them a week ago and said he’d take him to a settlement, Duck felt like he should be afraid, but he wasn’t. He was also taller, or James was just short. Part of him wanted to find Clementine, she was his age, so she’d be a better measure.
“Are we there yet?” Asked Duck, getting a groan from James.
“Y’know, I’m a pacifist,” Said James, looking back at Duck, “but you are making me question my beliefs.”
“Who’s this dumbass?” Duck jumped as a blonde and a red head appeared out of the bushes.
“He mentioned Clementine.” Said James, “He’s your problem now.”
With that, James vanished into the woods, Violet looked at the man James brought them, “So, how annoying are you?”

Clementine looked over the group of people in the gym, she could see Luke talking with Lee, while Carley talked with Rebecca and Alvin. Kenny was glaring at Nick with Pete, Carlos and Sarah were tucked away in a corner and Ben was on his side, asleep in another corner.
Clementine felt a wave of dizziness hit her, prompting her to lean against the wall. Lee glanced up and spotted her, quietly ending his conversation with Luke and walking over to her.
Lee stopped a foot away from her, making Clementine swallow.
“What’s the last thing you told me to do before you were put down?” Asked Clementine, her voice shaking towards the end.
“Keep your hair short.” Answered Lee, softly.
“How?”
“I don’t know.” Answered Lee, “I remember you putting me down, then I'm in the woods somewhere.”
Clementine swallowed, “Is it the same with everyone else?”
“More or less.”
Clementine nodded, grabbing a chair and dropping into it, “Okay, what do you want to know?”
“What happened to my baby?” Asked Rebecca, making Clementine look at her.
“Okay, but can you please hold any questions until after I’ve finished.” Sighed Clementine, taking her hat off, “Things got real bad after you, y’know, turned. Luke drowned, Bonnie and Mike took off with Arvo, that Russian guy Jane tried to steal from, taking all the supplies. I caught them trying to leave, Arvo shot me, and they left us to die.” Clementine let out a shaky sigh, “Jane decided to…’prove’ Kenny was dangerous, by saying…that AJ died. Kenny, understandably, lost it. I think he killed her, but it turned out that AJ was in a car. He stayed with us for a while, then, while teaching me how to drive, I lost control of the car and crashed it, sending him through the windshield. He distracted a herd of Walkers so AJ and I could escape. It was just the two of us for a while, some days were better than others, I lost a finger on a bad day. But we ended up running into a patroller from a group calling themselves the New Frontier.” Clementine shrugged her jacket off and rolled up her sleeve, showing them her brand, “Them branding themselves should’ve been a big red flag, but they had food, medicine and supplies, everything. Then AJ got sick, and I took some to treat him, they found out and kicked me out, while saying AJ was too sick to travel and that he was dying.” Clementine ran her hands down her face, “Things got dark for a while, but I ended up meeting a guy, Javi, things then happened really fast, I was a hostage for a bit, but Javi, somehow, managed to topple things in the New Frontier, gained control and, thankfully, found out that AJ was alive. He got them to tell me where he was and, I went and got him.” Clementine took a deep breath and continued, “We travelled for a bit, and, eventually, we arrived here. We ended up caught in a crisis, killed and, miraculously, helped people tear down a group calling themselves the Delta. I got injured in a fight and got bit.” Clementine gestured to her prosthetic, “I told AJ to put me down, and instead he decided to take my leg. Now, well, we’re here.”
There was a beat of silence, before Rebecca spoke, “What does AJ stand for?”
“Alvin Junior.” Answered Clementine, “Kenny came up with it.”
“How bad did things get?” Asked Luke, making Clementine look to the floor.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Said Clementine.
“Has he…?” Asked Alvin, concern on his face.
“Killed?” Finished Clementine, “Yeah. Most of the time it was in defence of others, other times…let’s just say he’s already got a high Walker count.”

“Right,” Said Kate, “We’re here.”
Christa, Omid and Kenlee stared up at the school, they saw a blonde, a red head, a young man and a dog walking towards a building. “Clem’s in charge of this place?” Asked Omid.
“Yeah,” Answered Kate, waving to someone to open the gate for her, “she’s good when it comes to leading.”
“Yeah,” Called down a boy on a watch tower, “she got a home, and we got a mom!”
“Shut up, Willy!” Yelled someone from a group in the grounds, “Who the fuck decided to electrify the water?!”
“It’s killing infection!”
“For fucks sake Trey!”
“Clementine’s in control?” Said Christa, doubtfully.
“She’s probably busy.” Dismissed Kate, as they walked into the grounds.
They were guided to a hospital, where a Latino man and a Black woman checked them over. Two young women were helping them, while Kenlee practically demanded to be put down.
“Don’t wander off.” Warned Christa, as the Black woman examined her for bites.
“He’s clean.” Said the Latino, “A bit dehydrated, but nothing to serious.”
“Same with her, although slightly malnourished.” Commented the Black woman, looking at Christa, “We set up some temporary dorms in the Gymnasium, I’m sure Sarah or Ruby could show you to them.”
Christa nodded, as the Latina led them out of the hospital. Christa stopped when she saw Kenlee talking to a boy a year or two younger than her, and a couple feet away from the boy, was a young woman with a prosthetic leg. She was wearing Clementine’s hat. Christa stared at Clementine, getting a frown from her.
“Is everything alright?” Asked Clementine, walking towards them.
“Clementine?” Whispered Omid, making Clementine pause.
“Omid?” Clementine looked at him, before looking at Christa.
Christa didn’t say anything, getting a sigh from Clementine, “You better catch up to Sarah, she doesn’t like people falling behind.”
Christa started to chew her bottom lip, as Clementine walked away from them.

Clementine groaned as she sat in the chair behind her desk. Rosie gave a whine as she looked up at Clementine. Sighing, Clementine hauled the old dog up, placing her on her lap. Rosie got comfortable and promptly fell asleep. Part of Clementine was glad animals didn’t turn, although, seeing Sam with Duck did make her freeze for a bit. Letting out a sigh, Clementine leaned back and closed her eyes.
A knock on the door made her groan, “Come in.”
She expected it to either be Louis, Luke or Lee, so when Christa poked her head in.
“Are you free?”
“Well, I’ve got a dog on me,” Said Clementine, “So, I don’t have much of a choice.”
Christa stepped in and closed the door, “We need to talk.”
“What about?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know.” Snapped Christa, glaring at Clementine, “Lee told me your little sob-story.”
Clementine raised a tired eyebrow.
“You got all of those people killed,” Accused Christa, “and you twisted a baby into a murderer.”
“You’re still upset about Omid getting shot.”
Christa reared back as if Clementine hit her, “If you hadn’t left your gun unattended-”
“Where do you think my caution comes from?”
Clementine looked up at Christa impassively, Christa saw an emotional detachment in Clementine’s eyes.
“Everyone dies. The world doesn’t need optimism, or pessimism. Before I came here, I killed everyone who was a threat to me and my loved ones.” Clementine leaned forwards, carefully cradling Rosie, “If you have a problem with that, then I suggest you take your little family and go back to Richmond.”
Christa stared down at Clementine, not recognising the woman in front of her, “What happened to you?”
Clementine leaned back in the chair and swivelled it, so she was looking out of the window, “I looked for you. The entire time I was with Kenny and AJ, I was looking for you and when I was alone,” Her voice cracked, “I saw you. It was the happiest I’d been in a long time. Then I heard you talking about me, saying you hoped I was dead or going through hell.”
“And?” Asked Christa, her stomach in knots.
“I grew up.” Answered Clementine, her voice thick.
Violet frowned as one of the new arrivals, Christa, left the office. Sighing and bracing herself for Clementine’s inevitable explosion. After knocking twice on the door, Violet let herself in.
“Clem?”
The chair didn’t move, prompting Violet to walk around it. Clementine sat there, holding Rosie and staring out the window with tears running down her face. Wrapping an arm around Clementine’s shoulders, Violet pulled Clementine into an embrace, with the flood barrier breaking and Clementine emitting quiet sobs into Violet’s shoulder.
Okay, hear me out. Rosie practically CARRIES tfs and helps save everyone’s butts on top of being ADORABLE (the hardest job of all), while simultaneously dealing with the death of her owner. So, why shouldn’t she get happiness like everyone else (sorta) does?
Granted, Sam may or may not have taken a chunk out of Clem in S2, but he was hungry! Let the boy LIVE. This doesn’t mean he isn’t a viable candidate for our dear Rosie. So, this may be my top ship —below Clouis, of course.
What's one character per season that everyone loves but you hate?
Oof, anon, are you trying to get me in trouble? Haha, okay, let’s see... just to clarify, I don’t necessarily hate these characters. They’re characters that most people love that I either dislike or feel meh about.
Season One -- Kenny
To be fair, this Kenny isn’t as bad as s2 Kenny, but I’m pretty meh about him compared to pretty much everyone else, y’know? It also depends on what route I’m taking when I replay S1. If I’m actively trying to be Kenny’s pal, then he’s chill and a lot more tolerable to be around. If I’m not Kenny’s pal, then he’s annoying and super not chill.
He has a compelling story of an everyday family man who loses everything he swears to protect and it breaks it, and it’s done well, I guess I’m just not as attached to him. I never really was.
400 Days -- Nate
This one is a little weird? We don’t talk about 400 Days all that much, but whenever I go to the tag, I see a lot of Nate aaaaaaand.... meh? I don’t like Nate. Yeah, he’s kind of funny? In that “I’m probably gonna giggle real good before I murder you” way?
It’s interesting to me that Nate seems to be everyone’s, eh, “problematic fave” from 400 Days, something I’ve covered in the past. I don’t really get it myself, but hey, if you like this crazy bastard then more power to you.
Season Two -- Kenny
It’s risky putting Kenny on this list twice, isn’t it? Aw well... Okay, while s1 Kenny isn’t my favorite, I like him much more than this Kenny. And yeah, I know, this Kenny is so tragic and broke and such a fascinating character to study.... and I don’t like him. I don’t want him anywhere near Clementine and AJ. I don’t see walking into the woods with him as a happy ending. He’s definitely one of my least favorite characters in s2.
Sure, he has some very humanizing moments and he’s a good character-- I won’t deny that, but I’m also not going to pretend that I love him because I don’t. If you’re a Kenny stan and will follow your mustache god to the ends of the earth, cool. I get it, you do you. I’ll just be over here daydreaming about a better s2 where they embraced Kenny as an antagonist and where Luke didn’t get abducted by aliens.
A New Frontier -- Uhhhh....?
I’m trying to think of a character that everyone loves but I don’t here and... I can’t think of one? I guess maybe Clementine could count? But I don’t dislike ANF Clementine, she’s just my least favorite of the four Clementines, y’know? She’s still a good character that I love, so I don’t think she counts.
Maybe Kate? I know a lot of people outside of tumblr really like her and her romance with Javi, but I don’t know if she’s actually widely loved.
Yeah, I might not have one here. I love all of the characters that get the most loved. Now if this were a “Who do you love but everyone hates?” question, then I might have an answer for you. But it’s not, so I don’t.
Michonne -- ?? Don’t really have one?
I think a lot of people sleep on Michonne so I don’t know who’s hated and loved. Plus, the only characters I find annoying or don’t like are Randall and Norma. Everyone else I’m pretty chill with. Sam can get a little annoying but she grows on ya. But yeah...
The Final Season -- Minerva
Yeah, I know. Everyone loves Minerva and I’m just over here being a dingus like “Minnie make CJ mad” all salty like. But the thing about Minerva for me is this-- I don’t hate Minerva by herself. As a character, she’s interesting and I like how she’s portrayed. I empathize with her situation and it hurts to hear that the delta forced her to murder her own sister. I wish she didn’t get taken by the delta
Also, the bridge scene? Super good.
No, my problem is how she’s used within the story to fuck up Violet’s character/arc. I’ve said this plenty of times, so sorry for being a broken record, but Minerva ruins a lot of Violet’s story for me and I still side-eye the writers for making this dumb choice. I just... why? Why? It could’ve been done super well and it just wasn’t and I’m not okay with that.
Ugh.
But yeah, a lot of people love Minerva and I don’t. Sorry about that.
Some information about him and his relationships with June:
• June is one year younger than Sam. So in her 7 years she's quite an active and happy girl though in his 8 years Sam is quiet and serious boy (even Aasim admits he wasn't such a melancholic)
• Yes, Sam is melancholic. Most of time he spends alone in the school tower, he has some kind of hideaway there. It's not because he hates everyone as you may think but because he likes silence and being alone so he can slowly think of all. He also studies how to build traps and invents other mechanisms to help the group with the hunt or walkers.
• The only person he loves and hates so much is June. Sometimes she can be really annoying but she just can't see him so serious everytime. So when she playing around trying to make him smile or laugh he always rolleyes. But believe me, he will probably never admit it but Sam's so greatful to her for what she's doing. If it wasn't for her he would be in depression.
• Well... He does have a secret crush on her.
• Sam's quite cold with everyone in school, mostly with his father. Aasim always tries to teach him best but he will never listen. But Ruby has his warm and trust. He feels safe and comfortable when she's around. He also learns a little about medicine with his mom.
• He was the only person who was able to cheer up June after the big tragedy.
• Sam doesn't have a lifegoal yet.
• Hobbies: physical training and mechanisms' invention.
If we you have any questions I'll be glad to answer.
