AMEN TO ALL YOUR RECAP FROM EPISODE 3. So so amazing. I cannot wait for the crying, yelling and makeup loving in episode 4. I just saw a theory that had me freaked out a little. Saying the phones don't add up and that Judith is more grown up in the sketches could mean he took helicopters and kept an eye on them over the years?? And that the reference to Carl was actually RJ and that is why he couldn't get it quite right? I doubt that though. He has no idea about RJ. Secrets coming out?? ARGHHH I need to know! What do you think? Also, do you think there will be another season? I need them :'(

thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think we're all excited for episode lol this show has me wishing away my saturdays smh

well. personally I don't think you need to be freaked out by that theory because (respectfully) I don't think it makes any sense lol. I'm putting this under a read more because It's gonna get kinda long

I don't really see what doesn't add up about the sketches, honestly? because I think the simplest/most logical explanation is likely the accurate one. rick is (painfully) aware of how much time is passing, so every time he asked for a new sketch he'd say how old judith would be at that time and the artist would have adjusted her appearance accordingly. as for carl - I did see one person say they thought the "not getting it right" line implied that rick was starting to forget what carl looked like, because it's been a while now since he died. I think that's plausible, but personally I think part of it is that a parent who loses a child never really stops grieving, and no sketch can ever live up to the memory of that child no matter how objectively accurate it is. maybe it's a little of both? either way, I don't think it's supposed to be RJ.

I think we have to consider that while rick was never ever gonna stop trying to get home to see his family ("I'm getting home or I'm dying. That's it.") okafor played the ultimate and final trump card when he told rick his family would die if he ever escaped the CRM and went back home. as we saw in 1x01, that was it - the lights went out, and rick basically immediately became suicidal because he knew that he would never, ever put them at risk, so his only option was to die (again, "i'm getting home, or I'm dying") and short of actually killing himself he decided to metaphorically die instead.

all of this is to say that everything we've seen from rick on screen since the end of the first episode specifically shows us that he is resigned to never seeing his family again. for a brief moment when okafor died rick thought he maybe had a chance again, especially with michonne there, only for jadis to show up immediately to remind him that she has the SAME trump card as okafor only worse because she set it up so that if she dies his family will be killed anyway. and his only goal at this point is making sure michonne gets out. there's no indication that he has ever set eyes on any of them.

but even just logistically like. do we think the CRM is letting rick 'cut my own hand off trying to escape' grimes fly a helicopter unsupervised? do we think CRM security is so lax that he'd be able to steal one? if it was, wouldn't that be the first thing he did to try to escape, once he enlisted? ALSO the first thing rick did after he and michonne reunited was ask if judith was alive. why would he ask if he already knew? like, he's shown to be pretty decent at lying under pressure but why would he lie to michonne, at that moment? like, I'm sorry this just does not track as a theory to me lol

as for a season 2. well, season 1 is doing extremely well so far, so it wouldn't be a matter of the network not wanting more seasons. I do think an issue would be danai's availability because her schedule is insane. personally, I have my own feelings about whether or not I even want a season 2, but I guess we just have to see what happens!

I hope this answered your questions :)

Love the gif set with Rick pointing the gun at himself. How did you get the coloring? So perfectly done! <3

Hi! Oh my god, thank you ❤️ Honestly, shout out to me having made a ton of gifs for The Boys 'cause TOWL uses that same stupid goddamn green/yellow filter on their scenes haha

Generally I just mess with the photo filters/ colour balance until there's the approximation of skin tone 😅

For the set you're asking about, from this to this:

was pretty much just these two things doing most of the legwork for me tbh (it's kinda just countering whatever the main filter is):

I almost always do a tiny bit of editing with the Selective Colour filter too, usually just the red/ cyan/ black options to fix whatever else is going on with it and then blast the brightness/ contrast until I like it.

Here's the usual adjustment filters I use (if this gives any indication):

It's kinda just playing with sliders until it's pretty for me (I know this is The Least Helpful answer I could have possibly given) but thank you for asking it (and for the super nice compliment ❤️)

They literally ripped off your edit bro

Omg it’s so crazy, they literally just messaged me about the coincidence. There was no rip off or anything like that. My gifset was a request anyway, so it wasn’t even my idea. Plus it’s a pretty clear parallel that anyone could make. It’s no worries over here, just one big old coincidence lol

I am sorry for what they did to you.

This was one of my faves growing up. This little girl, listening to her own rhythm, free-spirited - just like Judith. I loved it so much I thought I was meant to be a writer for a while there. Judith is gonna love this.

  I missed you so much. Words can't even say it right.                      You don't have to. I know.

Judith - is she - is she alive?             She's okay.
