#2: The Kiss of Life (7.05)

Gold on gold on solid gold. 🤩 This kiss is everything. I love that our fandom recognizes this kiss as the 'Kiss of Life' because it really is life-giving. And it forever holds a special place in my heart because for a long while it was my all-time favorite Richonne kiss and is still my favorite Richonne kiss from TWD. I don't know what extra they put in this kiss to make it so hypnotic but it really never fails to mesmerize me every time I see this undeniably top tier moment. This kiss deserves so much praise for depicting the everlasting strength, passion, comfort, and endurance of Richonne's love 🥰...

Richonne's iconic Kiss of Life is ingrained in my brain and whenever this scene pops up on my timeline, there is no such thing as watching it just once lol. It's just too good and one of Richonne's absolute most powerful moments that embodies the unique and heartwarming strength of their relationship. I so appreciate that Richonne was able to connect and have a kiss with this level of passion, love, and devotion even amid one of their most trying times when they weren't on the same page. Being oppressed by Negan had been taking a toll on both of them as they had to go against their very nature as fighters and stand down.

They have different ideas on how to fight for their lives, but what they don't differ on is how much they still love each other. And with this kiss, they communicated "I love you and I'm with you" at a time when they needed that reassurance most. And as I've noted in previous revelings on this scene, this kiss was also a loud and clear indicator that they still in every way desire and crave each other, even when they're on different pages.

The choreography of this moment is just perfect. Rick is feeling pretty dejected about Carl and Michonne not going on this run with him, and as he has this moment to bid Michonne goodbye, you can tell how much he longs to remain connected with her as he hands her the walkie and goes in for a hug. And then I adore with everything in me that Michonne takes his face and redirects him so that they can have a more intimate sendoff. This was one of my favorite things Michonne's done as a wife because she knew her man needed his spirit lifted and she did that beautifully here.

I love that even with her wanting to go her own way to figure this Savior stuff out, she still has so much respect for Rick trying in his own way. And especially after Rick confided in her about not being Judith's biological father the episode prior, I feel like she really wants to let Rick know that she sees and reveres him and his heart. Rick had been expected to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders for so long before Michonne. But now here she is and with this kiss, it truly is like she removes some of that weight and just gives him so much restoration and centering like only she can.

I love the way it feels like everything else disappears for a moment as they just let their love take center stage. I love that this kiss takes its time as though for right now nothing is more important than just being present in this moment with each other and affirming they're in this together. I love Rick being so quick to reciprocate and pull her in closer and the way Michonne really looks like she feels safest when she's in his arms. Michonne's hand subtly in his hair and kissing his top and bottom lip are all just really nice details and then they of course keep the goodness going after the kiss as well.

Richonne's signature forehead touch and sway actually makes its first appearance here and I love that they do this. It's so intimate and personal and I love that after that kiss they don't want to pull away just yet. They still just want to bask in each other a bit longer, especially because this is where they so often get strength. There is something so precious about Rick thanking her for that kiss. He knows she did something invaluable for him right there. This kiss further solidified that Richonne's love is unbreakable and can stand the test of time. And how true that is, because even after a major wrench is thrown in their lives when they're taken from each other for years, Richonne's love never wanes and it leads them to find each other again for a certain reunion kiss that manages to take the throne as Richonne's #1 kiss on my list. ♥️

Welcome back for the long anticipated Horny Richonne #54!

For those of you following the dreary saga of why Richonne is my favorite mental health bandaid, I am pleased to report that my mother is scheduled for hip replacement surgery in a couple of weeks. It's good news, but it's still a very stressful time, and she'll need a ton of help afterwards, so I don't know how much I'll be drawing in that time. As always, your kind feedback is much appreciated, as it slaps on extra bandaids. 🥰🩹🩹🩹

Today we join Rick and Michonne on a typical, relaxed early morning. Because it is a day ending in Y, Rick absolutely cannot keep his hands to himself. He is, after all, eternally grateful to the incredible sexy angel who brought him home. Fortunately, Michonne is also an insatiable horndog, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Hello my lovelies! Please enjoy the latest and greatest, Horny Richonne #53!

Somehow I always seem to be finishing these up during a bad emotional time, and I can't come up with a cutesy little story to go with it. Grr. Oh well. We can all just stare at the love gazing. And grinding.

Well I guess I really need the mental health bandaid this week. Here's Horny Richonne #55!

Please enjoy little spoon Michonne, who loves feeling safe in her husband's arms, and big spoon Rick, who loves knowing his wife is safe in his arms.
