Yall just let me know how s9 goes. Please? I ain’t budging. I ain’t watching. Unless Bobby comes back F U C K they show. Which sucks because I honestly enjoy it but nah. Ugh. Never again will I indulge without him. No ma’am, no ham, no turkey. It’s fine. I also love Angela so much on there but for me unfortunately even she can’t save it. Smfh. I will cackle if it flops outta life big time omg. S M F H ! Sorry sorry them doing him like that has clearly made me a hater. Don’t care, have fun. I can’t even have my fave ship without him. 😭😂

(disclaimer: i know merle is a piece of shit)

merle actually wanted to be a good brother. he did. as much as it seemed like his only care in the world was how much of an asshole he could be, he really did care about daryl.

daryl and him were gonna rob the first camp together, so they could be on their own. together.

only reason merle stayed in woodbury was because he didn't have a reason to leave. daryl is the reason he was searching for. he didn't know if he was dead or alive. he couldn't know.

the minute he knew daryl was alive, they fought them woodbury walkers and left, then left on their own. when daryl wanted to go back, he followed. he wasn't gonna lose his little brother again.

when he saw those scars on daryl's back in season 3, i know the scene was set where we were to be mad at merle and side with daryl. but i saw merle's face, and that ain't just something merle can fake.

and those hallucinations that daryl was having. i know merle seemed mean but if my little sister was screaming those things at me, i'd survive just in spite so i could whoop her ass. <3

and merle, he knew how much this group meant to daryl. so he helped fight against woodbury. which ultimately lead to his death, but his last act on earth was for his brother. merle dixon cares about his little brother.

i know he's seen being a bitch to daryl, but come on. an older sibling's job is to be an asshole. i call my sister a bitch everyday, i tell her to die like once a week, but we love each other so much and i would do anything for her.

The argument over the Merle character is always so interesting. He isn't an all-around "bad guy". He was a man with a lot of issues because of how he had grown up and subsequently his social circle influenced his lifestyle and his views.

ps. the official subtitles are "Yeah, he did." which actually changes the dynamics.

OKAY! Now that I have my head on, I can reply with something I gotta say!

THEY. LEFT. MERLE. TO. DIE!

First of all, yes. Merle was high on some shit, he was being irrational, and yes he was putting the others in danger. I get that. He was being a stupid motherfucker and they had to restrain him because he was being psychotic and doing crazy shit. No doubt about that.

But they left him, guys. They left Merle handcuffed - HANDCUFFED WITHOUT A WEAPON AND HIGH OFF HIS ASS WITH JUST A FLIMSY DOOR TO BLOCKADE THE WALKERS - and abandoned on a roof with no water or shade to protect him from the sun. So he ended up stuck on a roof, handcuffed, high as fuck, and suffering from a heatstroke to boot.

Wanna know the kicker? He BEGGED them. Merle’s last words in the world are “I ain’t gonna beg” to the Governor. But he BEGGED T-Dog and Morales to help him, to get him out of there, to not leave him. His exact words are “Morales! You can’t leave me like this, man! Hey, T-Dog. No, man. You can’t leave me, man. You can’t leave me here… Not like this. You can’t, man. It’s not human. Come on, don’t do this.”

I wish Rooker would do Instagram live some time soon. I mean, I found some recordings of those lives from this YouTube channel where he’s just chitchatting but what he’s saying is actually interesting, and those are so pleasant to listen

Also how is it possible that he has almost 900 thousand followers on Instagram but there’s like three of his fans here in Tumblr (and one of them is me)??

i super understand why some people hate merle. but i don't.

what i see primarly in merle (and what draws me to many characters) is that he is incredibly smart.

and i see someone who was abused so badly he ran away so he would not murder his abuser. a person who tried to get his life on track, but couldn't live in a world where he continued to be emotionally and verbally abused (b/c that's what the military does)

and when he comes home, he runs away with his little brother, who is certainly soft, and merle thinks the best way to protect his brother is to make his brother tougher. and he does this (still abuse btw) by belittling and tearing down his bro (also what military does), so that daryl will be stronger! he wants daryl to fight back. merle likes it when daryl stands up to him.

anyway, then merle, who's tried doing what he sees as the right thing, fails utterly and then becomes an addict.

which tbf is what happens to a lot of addicts. they are self-medicating underlying issues (in merle's case cPTSD).

and while merle does things that are wrong, I understand them.

The way Merle raised Daryl is exactly the way my brothers and i talked to each other when we were teens. And also the way my extended family treated us as kids.

I just get it, I guess. And that's why I love Merle.

[th3-mandalorian]

and when some people expect Merle to continue to stay in that abusive household to protect his younger brother. He had never asked to be an older brother.

I just love this character of Merle. He’s so complex and kinda a writer’s dream to write because he can go into different directions

Merle: *telling some shitty joke*

Rick: jackass <3

Posted a fanfic

Finally had the courage to post my Walking Dead fanfiction online. It’s a Merle/Rick ff (eventually). I feel so effing nervous. Don’t remember if I felt this nervous when I posted my first KPOP ff too. Anyway if anyone is remotely interested.
