muse ៸ louise mercer, appears mid-thirties, but is over 500 years old, professor of ancient studies and museum curator — plot ៸ the third bullet point here — for ៸ any of your muses.
louise would recognize them anywhere, at any time, effortlessly following their familiar scent and noticing the enduring aspects that remained unchanged from one incarnation to another. they were both a blessing and a curse—an eternal cycle of a thousand lives where she found herself endlessly in love with the same being, who tragically never remembered her from one lifetime to the next. she couldn't help but hope that someday they would reciprocate her feelings.
throughout the ages, louise had experienced the joy of making them fall in love with her, only to be separated by fate time and again. yet, despite the pain and heartache, her affection for them endured, unyielding and unwavering through the centuries. they were the one constant in her seemingly eternal existence, and that constancy made her journey profoundly challenging. torn between accepting the reality of their circumstances and the unquenchable desire to be with them, louise often found herself struggling to maintain composure. she knew she should resist the urge to approach them, to resist the temptation of following them through each life, but her heart couldn't help itself.
she took gradual steps, earning their trust over time, and making herself a fixture in their world. every interaction followed a natural course, waiting for the opportune moment to reveal her true self. despite the inevitability of goodbyes, she cherished the moments they shared—their easy smiles, their time together—knowing that eventually, she would have to bid them farewell.
one day, as she worked at the museum, louise's assistant informed her that someone had come to see her. a knowing smile spread across her lips, aware that it was them. she left her work on the ancient painting she was so intimately familiar with and made her way towards the visitor, her heels clicking on the floor with a sense of anticipation. "oh, i wasn't expecting your visit today," she said with genuine politeness that seemed almost out of place in the 21st century. "but i'm delighted to see you, love. come, there's something I'd like to show you."

Any personal headcanons on Rick and Michonne as a couple? Like their favorite things about the other, what they argue about, love languages ect. lol they’ve set up camp in my brain and I just want more of them 🙇🏻♀️
this is so funny because i've been thinking about their love languages ever since danai did that interview with YNB after 1x04! yvette said rick's is words of affirmation and michonne's is acts of services, and I definitely agree but I also think they display pretty much all of them, and quite a bit? rick is obviously into giving gifts and loves quality time (family fun day, begging her to spend just a few more days on the road in 7x12) and to say they both love physical touch is an understatement. this gorgeous gifset highlights it all beautifully.
anyway, some headcanons~
I really don't think they argue about much? they are very in sync most of the time. historically their big arguments are about how to handle major threats (negan, the crm, rick's PTSD) and since nothing bad is ever happening to them ever again because I said so there's no need to fight about those things anymore
michonne's favorite things about rick are how affectionate he is with his family, his strength, his accent, and his hair
rick's favorite thing about michonne is everything
i actually think they talk about books a lot. they're both nerdy as hell in different ways and love that about each other
michonne likes to cook and is very experimental while rick likes to bake (mostly secret family pie recipes) and they love feeding each other and their kids
michonne absentmindedly sings and does little dances when she's doing things around the house and rick stops whatever he's doing to lean against the wall and watch her and smile
that scene we saw in 9x01 where they cuddle up in bed and unpack their day was a ritual they started way back at the prison, even though back then it was obviously platonic (we do actually see them talking when everyone else is asleep several times throughout twd). they would linger and chat before heading to their respective cells at night. in the six years michonne spent without rick, she continued the tradition herself, talking to him out loud alone in their bedroom
rick DEFINITELY teases michonne about being oblivious to his feelings for her before The Couch
michonne hits back by teasing him about Whatever the Fuck He Was Doing With Jessie 💀
you didn't ask for grimes family headcanons but:
after they got home, michonne has a moment like that scene at the end of kill bill vol 2 and has a near silent hysterical laugh-cry of relief by herself in the bathroom before calmly walking back out to join her family. only rick notices
rick on the other hand is afraid to let any of them out of his sight. he spends the first six months he's back home being a total insomniac watching the three of them sleep because he's afraid if he closes his eyes he'll wake up alone back at the CRM
antony azor who plays rj is apparently very shy and reserved but opened up unexpectedly with andrew lincoln and so obviously this is also exactly what happened with rick and rj. father and son bonded INSTANTLY
his first night back, judith asks rick to finish reading the wizard of oz to her because he never got a chance to. it takes a good five minutes for him to compose himself but she does finally get the full story from her dad
rick and michonne do have an actual wedding ceremony, but it's just for them, judith and rj.
