#….my heart….#love love LOVE the idea that daryl didn’t come forward about shane and otis because he didn’t think anyone would listen to redneck trash#but it also makes sense considering his childhood abuse and his inability to go to anyone for help#and the fact that his own brother claimed that he ‘didn’t know’ about will turning his violence on daryl until he saw the physical proof#daryl understands how powerful the choice to not see something can be#he knows rick is denying what’s right in front of him because merle did the same#he knows that doesn’t make rick stupid because he knows how smart merle is despite his choice to deny the truth#sorry this parallel grabbed me by the brain out of nowhere and wouldn’t let me go until i put it into pictures/words#thank you to the yt videos i got the screenshots from#hence why one set is clearer than the other#daryl dixon#norman reedus#dale horvath#rick grimes#andrew lincoln#merle dixon#michael rooker#will dixon#tw: abuse#the walking dead#twd s02e11#twd s03e10#s02e11: judge jury executioner#s03e10: home#also sorry for the shitty captions lol idk how to do it any other way
