I still love twdg and it warms my heart to see so many of the blogs I used to interact with regularly still be active. Not to mention, all the friends I made that I still communicate with to this day!
Clementine: Clementine's eyes would widen. Her arms were crossed, an eyebrow raised and her gaze curious. "Nice to, uh, meet you?" It came out more like a question than a statement. It wasn't a total lie - she was pleased to meet someone new in their shitty world - but their height was a little alarming. At least they could be put to good use.
AJ: AJ would glance up at the stranger, giving a small asp. "Woah," he hushed quietly, "you're tall." "AJ--" Clementine turned to him, giving him a stare. "It's not a bad thing." AJ said, defending himself. "It's,' he paused, trying to find the right word, "cool." The stranger smiled, liking AJ already.
Marlon: Marlon glanced up and down, smiling at the sight of Y/N. "It's nice to meet you," he said kindly offering a hand to shake. "Welcome to the team. We're gonna need some extra hands." "And legs." Louis mumbled from behind him. Admitedly, Marlon was excited to have someone so tall on the team. Who knew how useful that could prove to be. "Make yourself at home."
Violet: Violet scoffed the second she spotted them. "You have got to be kidding me. Marlon, they aren't our age." Hearing that they were naturally that tall, Violet laughed. "We're not stupid. That's impossible." All Violet wanted was for them to get away from their safe haven. Deep down, she knew that wouldn't happen.
Louis: Louis crossed his arm and raised a brow. "Is this your real height?" "Louis, how could it be fake?" Violet quipped back. Louis waved his hand, silencing her. "Just let me ask the questions I need to." Really, he just wanted to know how a person their age was able to get this insanely tall.
Mitch: Mitch would cross his arms, sizing the stranger up. He smirked and nodded as if approving of them. "Welcome to the team," he said, wandering forward and slapping their shoulder in a friendly manner. "I'm sure you'll get adjusted quickly." He just had a gut feeling everyone was going to love them.
Willy: Willy's jaw opened and his eyes widened. At first, he said nothing. He didn't know what to say. Was this real? He gulped and turned to Mitch, silently communicating his confusion. Eventually he turned back and fairly nodded. It was so small Y/N could barely see it. He was just nervous. He always was with new people. He would warm up soon.
Tenn: Tenn glanced up, locking eyes with the stranger. He blinked cautiously, sizing up their newfound teammate. "Hi," he said plainly. He wasn't afraid, he wasn't taken aback, he was just amazed. How did they find their hideout? And how did they get so tall? Tenn was desperate to know their secrets. He'd always wanted to be tall.
Brody: Brody would nervously glance up and smile, alarmed by their size. She also felt oddly comforted by it. After all, who would want to mess with someone who was double their size? Maybe it was an intelligent safety move. "Hi," she said faintly. "Welcome to the team."
Ruby: Ruby would smile at the stranger, nodding politely in their direction. "Nice to meet you, stranger." She said kindly. Yes, their height was startling, but it wasn't bad. Besides, Ruby had a strong opposition to commenting on physical appearances, especially these days.
Aasim: Aasim jumped upon meeting the stranger. When Ruby said they were tall, he didn't think she meant ginormous. "Uh," he cleared his throat awkwardly. He knew the deed was done. He had clearly shown his thoughts. "Welcome." What else could he have done? There was no way this person was their age.
Omar: Omar would pause, eyes wide as he studied their height. Slowly, his awe turned into a smile. "Nice to see a new face," he said simply. After introducing himself, he turned around to the others, seemingly trying to not make a big deal of it. The last thing he wanted was to make their new friend feel uncomfortable.
James: James didn't believe it. He didn't believe they were being honest for a second. He raised a brow and scrunched his nose. "Hi." Was all he said. Anythign else would be rude or upfront. Maybe he should sit this one out and let someone else ask the questions he had.
(A quick and small little thing before I finish up request :) )
Mitch
This Side Of Paradise - Coyote Theory
OR
Dream Boy - Beach Bunny
These songs make my heart squeeze and reminds me of like young love and all that stuff, he has a certain vibe to him and these remind me of that
Marlon
Love The Way You Lie - Eminem ft Rhianna (both versions)
OR
Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge
Well...I think the first one speaks for itself, and the second one, to me Marlon comes off as someone who would obviously be very passionate but would take it a bit to the extreme at times
(Keep away from flashlights tho ✨😻)
Louis
Sunkissed - Khai Dreams
OR
Yellow Hearts - Ant Saunders
He would love you so much and so and purely, these songs are so heartwarming and lighthearted and fun
Violet
She - Dodie
OR
Maybe - The Ink Spots
Very loving and slow songs, perfect for slow dancing under the stars with Vi
Clementine
Apocalypse- Cigarettes After Sex
OR
I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend - Girl In Red
Blunt but does the trick when it comes to romance, very confident love
Aasim
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
OR
Out Of My League - Fitz and The Tantrums
He comes off a bit insecure and pure to me so I chose these ones, summer vibes with soft undertones I imagine him reading/writing a lot while you two spend time together
James
Heavenly - Cigarettes After Sex
OR
Perfect - Ed Sheeran
IMO James seems like the type to offer a love that makes you feel like you’re always beautiful and always enough
Minerva
Strawberry Blonde - Mitsuki
OR
I Wanna Be Yours - Arctic Monkeys
Strawberry Blonde is mainly an unrequited love song but since Minerva was canonically with violet I thought maybe that’d be the best suited for that situation maybe and for I Wanna Be Yours, I also see her as a romantic person who does truly love and care for people a lot (when she’s not brainwashed by raiders ❤️🥰)
Ruby
Easy Living - Billie Holiday
Just a sweet simplistic type romantic love song
Brody
Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood
OR
Juliet - Cavetown
Soft, calming and easy listening
Gabe
Sucker - Jonas Brothers
I don’t usually listen to songs like this but I get major vibes from it telling me this is the one sjsojaoa
Should I do break up songs or is that too angsty? Sksosjaoa let me know
What do you think? When Clem felt something about Violet, did she think there was something wrong with her? Particularly if we take into account that it was probably the first time a woman awakened romantic feelings in her, and yet she had a crush on Gabriel.
I don’t think she did tbh.
Keep in mind that the main reason a lot of LGBT kids grow up thinking there’s something wrong with them is because they often get told their entire lives that only “men” and “women” can be together and that anything else is wrong or an oddity in society.
While it’s possible that Clem could have been exposed to that at a young age, I personally feel like she managed to avoid most of it due to the apocalypse happening when she was only 8 years old and growing up in a “new world” where past conventions don’t really matter anymore.
In Season 2 she meets Walter - a gay man with a boyfriend he loves dearly and openly discusses with her. If anything, judging by her reactions I don’t think she thought there was anything strange about it. She seemingly just accepts it like it’s no big deal.
I do think Clem probably didn’t realize she was bisexual though until Violet (assuming this is the first time she’s actually acknowledged feeling for another girl). She probably didn’t even know bisexuality was a thing tbh.
I think when she met Violet she was probably caught off guard/surprised she felt that way about another girl, but I don’t think it ever went down the whole “is this wrong?” territory. I think she accepted it pretty easily.
