#negan is trash and i don't think they can change my mind about it

[herebutnothere]

Negan is the worst. Absolute trash. And because I'm currently in my first viewing of TWD and haven't got to his ✨redemption arc✨ yet (currently in S8), the thought that they will turn him into a "good guy" is just... wow. Wow.

BUT...

His reactions to Father Gabriel make me cackle because he's right!!! Gabriel is a creepy ass dude who just keeps popping up!!! Put some bells on your shoes!!! Announce yourself!!! 🤣

(And don't get me started on his cowardice. Rick and them might forgive. I don't.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The small shopping center was completely deserted as the first rays of sunlight slipped over the horizon.

Melissa let the cold chill of unease slip up her spine, as she took in the broken windows and bloody handprints littering the dirty glass.

Negan pressed in behind her, dipping his mouth down to bite her shoulder in an almost reassuring gesture “I'll go first”. She frowned running her fingers through his hair, the sinking pit in her stomach deepened.

Was everyone dead?

What about Rick and the kids?

Swallowing slowly she snatched ahold of Negan's hand as he moved around her.

Growling softly, his eyes met hers with a sad smile before they both moved to the shattered door.

Stepping through the mess of broken glass, Claire winced as Negan quickly picked her up to spare her feet.

The back of the clothes store seemed to of been spared the destruction.

If she had just kept her eyes closed until now, she might of been able to lie to herself about the severity of the situation.

Letting her feet down gently, Negan moved to the nearby clothes rack.

Melissa smiled shaking her head, he had went straight for the woman's clothes.

“Ya know I can pick out my own clothes right?” she giggled moving to the men's wear, her fingers sliding down the soft fabrics.

Negan chuckled before pulling out a form fitting black v-neck and a pair of dark jeans. Tossing them to her he smiled as she snatched them out of the air, placing them on top of the clothes rack she raised a brow at him before pulling out a white tee and dark slacks.

Negan bit his lip with a smirk as she tossed them to him with a smile, resting his elbows on the collection of hangers he let out a pleased hum “ya want me to pick ya out some sexy panties while I'm at it?”

She giggled “only if I get to pick out some tight boxers to ogle you in?”

Running his tongue across his teeth with a bright smile, he growled softly “anything ya want darlin…” his eyes drifted downward before meeting hers once more “ya know I prefer this, but I'll wear anything you want”.

Rolling her lips with a deep blush, Melissa dropped her gaze back to the clothes before pulling out a sleek leather jacket.

Lifting the garment to her nose she inhaled with a soft smile.

“god I love the smell of leather!"

Negan eyed her blissful expression then the jacket, chewing on the inside of his cheek he growled before moving around the clothes rack. Snatching up the leather from her hands he chuckled at her confused expression “I'll be taking that”.

She let out a light laugh of disbelief “please don't tell me your jealous of a jacket?”

Moving around to grab him a pair of boxers, Negan lifted his brow with a smirk before gesturing to the duffle bags “might wanna fill em up darlin!”

She shook her head with a soft smile before turning around to grab two bags.

****

After filling the bags with clothes and non perishable foods, Melissa moved to the shoes grabbing her a comfortable pair of sneakers.

Eyeing the pairs of boots, she smirked before grabbing Negan a pair that looked his size.

The man had big feet.

Grabbing them some socks she giggled as his warm body pressed in behind her, his large hands sliding up her shirt to rest on her chilled stomach.

“You should change sweetheart”

She smiled closing her eyes as she took in the heavy scent of the forest and Negan...and was that...leather?

Giggling, she turned around in his arms to take in his appearance.

He was wearing the white tee and dark slacks she had picked out, his lean torso draped in the leather jacket he had taken from her.

Grabbing the lapels she smiled “your one jealous man Negan…” Humming in approval, she pulled him in close so she could press her nose to his chest. A wide smile spreading across her lips as she inhaled his scent.

She had never smelt something so good in her life.

Negan dropped his nose to her hair with a happy growl “just love seeing you happy”.

She giggled “suuure...that, or you'd rather just have me smell you all day”.

He chuckled with a slight shrug “...aaannd I love seeing you happy”.

They both laughed as his nose ran down her cheek to nuzzle into the crook of neck.

Cupping his face, she kissed him slowly. Smirking before lifting her arms above her head.

Negan cocked an eyebrow at her with a growing smile. His hands sliding around her waist, before slowly dragging her shirt up her damp torso. Her shuddering breath making him let out one of his own as he let the wet garment drop to the floor.

Dropping his gaze to take in her bare chest, he growled softly as her hands slid down his chest.

Sliding to his knees, he unbuttoned her pants tugging the clingy fabric down her legs as she ran her fingers through his damp hair. Her eyes drifting shut as he mouthed at her hips, his large hands gripping her thighs firmly as he ran his teeth over her skin.

Pulling a pair of panties he found from his pocket, he slowly urged the soft material up her hips before rubbing over her ass in slow soothing motions.

Melissa giggled as she stepped into the silky fabric “I can dress myself ya know?”

He growled, running his nose up her inner thigh before biting at her navel gently.

“I know”.

Melissa sighed with a soft smile, her head rolling back against her shoulders as he placed open mouthed kisses against her stomach.

Reaching back to blindly fumble through the now full duffle bags, she let out a breathy moan as he got to his feet. His lips sliding up her body before wrapping around her right nipple with a soft growl, fisting his hair she gasped tugging on the strands with a light whimper.

Releasing her, he closed his eyes as he ran his nose up the side of her face. His deep growl vibrating against her chest as he pressed his head against hers.

Closing her eyes she slid her hands from his hair to cup his cheeks, everything he did set her soul on fire.

Reaching behind her, his eyes remained shut as he slowly wrapped her bra around her ribs clasping it infront with a low growl.

Pulling away from her, he smiled before reaching behind her once more to grab her clean pair of pants.

Offering them to her he chuckled, biting his lip with an almost shy smile “here ya go”. Melissa smiled taking the offered clothing, her fingers brushing against his slowly as she met his hazel eyes.

The caramel colored irises slowly turning a vibrant yellow.

The sound of their combined breathing seemed thunderous in the quiet room.

Clearing her throat softly Melissa smiled “s-so y-you've never...uh been with anyone else?”

Cocking his head curiously he let out a deep sigh through his nose “nope”.

She bit her lip with a demure smile, her hands moving so she could slip her clean pants on.

“wish I would've known that was your first time...I uh...would've made it more memorable or something” she laughed nervously.

Smiling as he stepped in close to her he nuzzled against her temple “m’sorry...I didn't think it was important”. Letting out a light laugh she caressed his jaw “it's a pretty big deal for humans...I guess probably because we share ourselves with multiple people”.

Negan tensed for a moment, a look of disappointment crossing his face before he dropped his head to her shoulder. Melissa frowned, her heart clenching “I'm...i'm sorry, I shouldn't of...”.

He shook his head “s’ok sweetheart”.

Pulling his face to hers so she could kiss him deeply, she ran her thumb over his bottom lip with a smile “you make me feel alive Negan, no one compares to you”.

He smiled leaning his forehead against hers closing his eyes.

“So what's it like?”

He opened his eyes “what?”

She caressed his cheeks soothingly “finding your mate?”

His eyes widened, his mouth opening and closing in shock “I-I wasn't sure you'd accept that term”.

She giggled rubbing her nose against his “how could I ever question something as powerful as the way you make me feel?”

He smiled brightly “it was like... somthin um.. h-had lit a fire in my belly, I wanted to fight, smash my fist through a wall...fuck you through the fucking floor”. They both laughed as he cupped her cheeks “I wanted to move mountains and capture the fucking moon for you”.

She giggled “When did you know?”

He gulped “uh...w-when I uh...caught Rick fuckin eyeballing ya”

At that Melissa pulled back with a confused expression “w-what?...Rick?...you were serious?...I just thought you were being paranoid”

Her almost grossed out response made him chuckle “oh no darlin, trust me that fucker wanted a piece”.

She giggled before her smile slowly faded “do you think their ok?”

Negan pulled her into a comforting hug “Rick seems tough enough...m’sure he got the kids and is safe somewhere in town”.

She snuggled into his chest breathing in deeply, his scent relaxing her mind with each inhale.

“This isn't weird for you, being with a human?”

Negan growled softly as he ran his large hands up and down her back “never had a problem with humans sweetheart…”

He let out a heavy sigh “they were always the ones to have a problem with me”.

Oh these writers can fuck all the way off with this "devoted husband trying to make amends for his affair in the face of his wife's cancer and once he loses her he realizes that the only way to live is to be cold and heartless because his reason for living is no longer here, except his heart continues to grow just like the Grinch's because he never truly let go of the man he could have been and the man his forgiving, sacrificing wife always knew he was deep down inside" storyline for Negan's redemption tour.

JDM? Amazing. Did his job very well.

The character as a villain and antagonist? Started off strong, but then kind of dragged on because they just had to redeem him (see above).

The character as a person in this show? 🗑️ (see above).

[herebutnothere]

About Negan’s redemption arc: honestly, I feel like, with the exception of JDM & Negan’s stans of course, that redemption arc did not work for most people? Because even if you get into ok that thing he did was good or he was right about that thing or whatever then happens in S9-11, it’s also like, yeah BUT GLENN 🗣 (and everything else he did!!! Like the way the show just kinda sweeps his whole wives thing under the rug is… hmmm. Don’t let me start lol. Anyway, using Glenn as a shortcut for everything else). One good thing does not excuse all the bad shit he has done. And it felt like the show really wanted us to pretend and accept that his “good deeds“ were enough. And nope. Never gonna happen. ⛔️❌ There are a few points/examples I would love to elaborate on but I’m stopping here, I don’t want to spoil it for you :) Anyway, all this to say, if you don’t end up loving and forgiving Negan, you wouldn’t be alone!

Saw this and your addendum about there being a difference between liking him as a villain and thinking the redemption arc worked and ooof. I think that's a key distinction.

I still have a ways to go before I get to that chapter in the story (I think... currently on S9 E1) and like you alluded to, I think that's what I'm most suspiciously curious about—knowing that he's out in these streets hanging with The Widow in a whole spin off (!!!!!), are they going to try and convince me that deep down inside he's really a good guy who had his reasons for the murder, assault, abuse, coercion, psychological torture, and tyranny, or are they going to allow him to be the monstrous person he was who has since seen the error of his ways and actively tries to do better? Maybe Gabriel's prayers for him worked?

I'll revisit this once I actually watch/finish and ask you to elaborate on what you're referring to. I'm sure there will be much to unpack.
