What a joy and an honor to have loved Richonne's epic love story as hard as we could while we could. 🥹
Richonne means so very much to me and always will. To say their story has impacted my life for the better would honestly be an understatement. Rick and Michonne and their journey together from season 3 to TOWL played a part in keeping me going because life gets hard but the love captured between these characters is such an inspiring light that is exquisite and powerful and worth sticking around to behold.
And while 'it feels like it's ending'…it’s like Michonne said - they don’t die and neither does the love we have for them. We’ll be able to cherish Richonne and every single breathtakingly beautiful moment they gave us always. Richonne are the ones who live, the ones who love like no other, and the ones who will eternally hold a special place in my life.
This one-of-a-kind, out-of-this-world, moving beyond-words love story between profound soulmates Rick and Michonne Grimes - two of the greatest characters in media brought to life by the phenomenal Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln, two of the greatest actors in the craft - it lives on forever. And for that, I’m truly thankful. 🤍
Rick and Michonne got their happy ending with their precious children. 😭 They won. We won. 🙌🏽🎉
Also! In honor of that deleted picnic scene, (which I would have loved to see make the final cut) I just thought I'd share my little headcanon ending scene. A few days before the towl finale, I had this vision of a Grimes Family picnic moment being the final shot of the show, but of course, my vision includes a Carl cameo to complete the Grimes Family moment. This is what I had written down and imagine as a day for their family now that they're back together as they're meant to be:
Rick and Michonne have another Family Fun Day picnic with their kids. There’s this calm quiet moment where Judith is snuggled up to Michonne happily reading the book her parents brought home for her on the blanket, RJ is resting with Rick’s arm around him, Michonne is nestled by Rick’s side, and then Rick looks out and sees essentially the spirit of Carl standing from afar. Rick and his son share this warm smile as Carl gives a proud nod signaling this is everything he’s wanted for his dad - to feel safe and happy with their family just like Carl wrote to Rick in his letter.
And then Michonne looks at Rick and asks, “You see something?” And Rick just looks in Michonne’s eyes, smiles at her and says a content, “Yeah” before kissing her - finally seeing and experiencing the family he thought he’d lost for good but they’re all with him now. And then it ends with Richonne doing their signature thing of holding hands while enjoying this hard-earned and much-deserved day of peace with their family. 🥰
That, along with the abundance of golden moments we actually got within this miniseries and the main show, is how I'll forever remember my beloved Richonne and their Grimes family. Resilient love personified. It's been an unforgettable journey and I'm grateful for every part of it. Thank you, Andy & Danai. Thank you, Rick and Michonne. Long Live Richonne. 👑

Once upon a time, there was a wolf who howled at the sun.
It's @vashwoodbigbang posting time at last! I've worked with @walfs and @morning-moonstruck and got to see this phenomenal fanfic come into existence!
Please check it out - it's such a carefully crafted work of love and I'm sure that with the next two updates, Kacey (walfs) will manage to convey just how much thought and consideration went into their story. Every chapter will also come with an art piece so please look forward to our future posts!
Other illustrations: chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3

Maybe it's Ottessa Moshfegh's novels infecting my brain lately - and @loveliesblood too, because we had the same thoughts about this - but has anyone else pondered on the pure filth surrounding the safehouse arc?
And by that, I mean, how disgusting the whole concept truly is.
Tbh, I mostly mean Pete here: we're talking about a guy held in a secluded room - a room that's never ventilated, that's never cleaned and that has 2 inhabitants in it, counting the hedgehog - who's wearing the same underwear the whole time, who hasn't taken a shower in days, hasn't brushed his teeth, barely goes to the toilet (and we don't even know how that was happening, the possibilities for filth are endless), who gets the duvet dirty with the noodle soup, who sleeps on the same sheets the whole time (Vegas never changes them), with his greasy hair and his dirty feet and his unwashed body and his saliva and his sweat and everything.
What I'm trying to say is, that room is a health hazard and probably smells worse than a barn by the end of it.
All of that, of course, makes Vegas' fascination and pure obsession with Pete all the more enticing in my mind. He craves the filth of Pete, he craves the foul taste of his mouth and his ass like nothing else in his life. Just like Pete craves Vegas' emotional filth, hiding below all the layers of his slick minor family heir persona he can't even maintain for long while stuck in there.
Idk if it's too gross to think about (it is), since the fandom had lost its mind by Vegas eating Pete's ass because he was... sitting on the grass... with his underwear on... but to me, and to Amaranth, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
And it's also incredible inspiration for more missing scene fics 😌

You said that China liked some of your huma posts on insta. I don't have an insta account, could you possibly share the pictures she liked on here?
Sure, I'll take any excuse to look at and post more pictures of Huma.
These were the pictures from the posts.
Then these were the edits I made that she also noticed.
