hi!
do you write for Ben and Aasim?
I’d like to request them with an S/O who’s normally tired. Sometimes, even falling asleep against them or something
Hi there, I'll give writing as them a shot, I'm so sorry if it's OOC.
Ben and Aasim with an S/O who’s normally tired (even falling asleep against them!)
Ben
Tumblr media
"Yeah, I don't blame you.."
I mean, surviving and fighting for your life everyday isn't easy.
He had to admit, sometimes he was worried you were sick, or something.
You weren't.
Just really bloody tired.
If you've ever got lookout duty, but you're feeling exhausted,
He'll take it for ya.
He'd sit in those freezing temperatures, nipping at his skin in the dead of night.
Just to make sure you don't pass out, or get sick.
God knows how tired you'd be if you got sick.
"It's so they don't go to sleep on watch. I don't want walkers creeping up."
That's what he says.
Whenever he's questioned, anyway.
He's a naturally jumpy lad.
And especially these days,
When anything could be the rotting, decomposing hand of an ugly ass walker,
He rarely took any chances.
The poor boy jumped out of his skin when he felt a pressure against him.
Was it a walker?
Did he break something?
Is someone attacking him?
He'd look over, hesitating.
Oh.
It was you, asleep.
You'd leant into his shoulder.
He didn't understand how it was comfortable, honestly.
But as long as you were fine, he was too.
Ben grabbed the nearest blanket, slightly worn from use.
Wrapping it around your figure.
He put his arm around you.
"Making sure they won't fall. that's all.."
He'd tell himself.
Sure, Ben. Sure.
He resumed watch, keeping an eye out.
Tapping his fingers on his knees,
Hoping the darkness would disguise the definite blush. 
It wasn't just that.
You trusted him.
HIM.
The screw up, the new guy.
He didn't understand. 
Nobody understood a lot these days, he supposed.
But for the first time,
In what felt like a while..
He smiled.
..................................
Aasim
Tumblr media
"Are they gonna fall asleep during hunting, or something?"
That'd be what he'd first think,
But he'd shake that thought out of his head.
You weren't irresponsible.
Just more tired than the others.
And hey, who was he to judge?
This world could be hard.
There's not always time for a nap. 
He'd find himself unconsciously keeping an eye on you,
Whenever you were asleep, that is.
He's not a creep.
He's making sure nobody disturbs you.
That's one of the first things that set of alarm bells.
When someone else fell asleep, he was never that interested in making sure they weren't woken up.
What was so different with you?
"They've been working extra hard. They deserve the rest."
That's what he'd say to himself, every time.
An affirmation.
Quit the bullshit, Aasim.
He was writing in his journal,
When he felt a pressure against him.
He knew you were next to him before.
Were you peeking into his book?
Nah.
You wouldn't do that.
He was correct, you weren't.
You'd fallen asleep.
Leaning against HIM.
"Oh.."
Never fear, reader.
This wasn't a disappointed "oh".
He took a moment to pause.
Breathing in sharply,
Looking around.
The others would tease him endlessly if they saw.
But when it came to you,
He didn't necessarily mind.
Plus, the others were busy themselves.
Mostly playing card games, but eh.
He grabbed one of the blankets,
Which was abandoned on the nearby step.
Slowly putting it over you.
He didn't want to wake you.
And, with another furtive glance to the surroundings, 
He put his arm around you.
You looked so peaceful in your sleep.
Not stressed at all.
It was a nice change.
He glanced up at the sky above Ericsons,
The stars lining the sky.
He wasn't Violet, star gazing on a rooftop, 
But it was pretty.
And, adding to the already present blush on his face,
He couldve sworn a group of stars lined up,
Creating a small image.
A heart.

Y'know, I have so much useless knowledge about the Clementine comics stored in my brain after rereading them over and over again and studying them as if they're literature with layered subtext.
I mean... there is subtext that bleeds through different veins but my point is I'm so sorry that the comics are Like That™ because Amos you would've adored Ericson.
Amos would've been in awe of the school. He would've walked inside, looked at the mess, and unprompted, would've started cleaning. He would've repaired anything he got his hands on, and he would've done it happily.
Amos would've gone on fishing and hunting trips with Clementine and AJ to marvel at the beauty of the woods.
He would've called Vi "Miss Violet" just for the funny, annoyed face she'd make. Violet would get so frustrated with his cheery attitude about everything until she saw how engaging he was with Tenn and his art and okay fine maybe he's not the worst.
Amos would've had the biggest crush on Ruby. He'd think her hair was the prettiest color he's ever seen and tell her how her eyes shine when she laughs. He would've tried wooing her with his stories of Helen, his horse, and he'd jump at every chance to help her in the greenhouse. Aasim would watch them from his desk like, ".........I know stuff about horses, too."
He would've listened to Louis play piano with undivided attention and clap after every song and ask for another. He'd insist Mitch teach him how to flip and toss a knife like he does. He'd play fetch with Rosie every day. He'd teach AJ, Tenn, and Willy about how cool planes are and how he one day he'll get to ride in one. He'd be so damn nosy about every Omar cooks.
But no, instead he got pushed off a mountain by the most underdeveloped villain I've ever read about... good thing he's definitely coming back as a twist villain in Book Three, amirite? I can't wait.

Is it true that the walking dead game starts in 2003?
That would mean all the characters (minus AJ of course) would have experienced and remembered 9/11
Damn that sucks, imagine experiencing 9/11 and two years later the worlds like “oh you thought that was bad, what till you get a load of this”

How would you feel if they remade season 1, but with all new models and graphics so it matches the season 4 art style?

not to get too insane about stuff that could and probably does mean nothing but it's funny looking at the ericsons kids clothes.
like,,,yeah they have some rips in them but like, violet has all the buttons on her jacket. most of them have jackets and layers on and probably extra clothes since they lived in the boarding school.
clem and aj only have one set of clothes, one set of shoes. i can only imagine how hard it was to find aj velcro shoes.
both aj and tenn speak about about taping their shoes (taping his feet up in ajs case ig) (and this could be wrong!) but tenn got his shoes taped bc he loved wearing the shoes he had while aj was doing it so his feet wouldnt bleed.
just something i noticed

Who cuts whose hair in Ericson? Do they have one assigned barberer or...?
for the younger kids, i think it depends on who they’re closest to: mitch cuts willy’s hair, violet cuts tenn’s, clementine cuts aj’s.
marlon cuts his own, he doesn’t trust anybody else near it (not that anybody else really wants to get near it either).
louis is definitely ericson’s unspoken assigned hairstylist though. it starts as violet and louis’ thing — he offers to cut her hair and doesn’t do a half bad job, so she keeps going back. the other kids start to notice that he’s pretty good at the task and start going to him too.
objectively, i think clementine would ask violet to cut her hair, but i can also see her going to louis depending on who she’s dating/best friends with.

okay, i LOVED your headcanons and you told me to ask if i wanted more so here i am. any and all of your favourite headcanons 3.2.1 go!
Sure! Let's go for it
Carley hated her job, and wished everyday that her news editor would retire or just leave. But when she died, Carley couldn't help but feel strong guilt over it despite not having much to do with it.
Carver definitely had a girlfriend/wife before the apocalypse, but never had a child. His fixation on Rebecca is due to him really wanting a child, and he would do it no matter what.
Doug loves cookies, and kept a pack on him quite often when he'd go on his IT Guy services.
The Ericson Kids had a car in the past, but Brody and Marlon didn't let anyone use it, eventually losing it when one of the dead kids stole it and crashed it.
Alvin killed George due to accidentally believing that he was one of the Howe's guards and panicking with his pistol. It's one of the reasons why he doesn't give Clem the gun when she asks for it, not wanting her to make a mistake like him.
Lee definitely wanted a daughter first with his wife. He seems glad to treat Clem, and it felt like he wanted to learn and grow up with her around. He was friends with the State Senator, which is how the affair ended up happening.
Clementine and Christa went days without talking to each other after Omid's death, and did the same after her baby died. Clem was fine with the silence for a little while, but at some point she began having constant nightmares and would force conversations with Christa to stop thinking about them.
Ruby and Ms. Martin would spend nights together with the elder teaching Ruby how to stitch wounds, even giving Ruby a cut on her arm to see if she could stitch herself up.
AJ's first walker kill came when Clem was sleeping in, and their little spot got infiltrated by one lone walker. He also has a scar on his left ankle from getting cut one time at the McCaroll Ranch.
Carlos isn't actually a doctor, he just has good knowledge on medicines and that area, but was never qualified or anything.
Uncle Pete actually wanted to keep Clem around and was glad to teach her some things, considering how Nick turned out.
David Garcia divorced/broke up with Gabe & Mariana's mother due to his military services. She didn't like how much he stayed away from the family, and eventually left.
Tripp is a gym bro, he has great genes and got really big, but never actually learnt to fight or anything.

I'm currently trying to finish the first part of Chapter four of my Marlon redemption fic, and there is gonna be some memory stuff.
My best friend gave me some quotes from kids that she workes with in kindergarten.
And I made an incorrect quote board of it.
So now enjoy funny texts for the Ericson Kids. As kids.
Omar: "I'm sure you're good at something else... Just not cooking."
Violet: "Your taste is like sand feels between my teeth."
Brody: "No thanks, I don't want the egg. I don't want to hatch a baby chicken in my tummy. How would that even come out?"
Louis: "Cucumbers are pumpkins and pumpkins are yucky, so I'm not eating them."
Mitch: "I eat everything. I'm a machine. Just not..." *stares at plate* "...that."
Minnie: "Grandma always makes pudding. Mama said to always tell her we love it. But Mama feeds it to the dog when grandma doesn't look. So I feed mine to my brother. Same thing."
Marlon: *after getting told, that chocolate is from chocolate beans* "I want normal pudding! I HATE BEANS!!!"
AJ: "Yesterday, we ate ghost brokkoli." (It was califlower.)
Aasim: "I love pizza. Every pizza. I want pizza every day. But... Without Salami, and paprika, and corn, and... without ice cream." (Aasim, are you okay?)
Minnie: "My mommy gives milk from her to my little brother." *Whispering* "I think she hides a cow in her T-shirt."
Sophie: "My sister eats her salad with yucky grapes." *glares at the olives*
Aasim: "Salad doesn't grow on oaks. It's on palm trees!"
Marlon: "I want a treat. Our dog gets treats all the time, it's not fair."
Tenn: Why does the ice-cream taste so funny?" (It's mayonnaise, my friend.)
Ruby: "Mommy made hamster for breakfast." (Until this day, we don't know what the fuck she meant.)
Louis: "My dad is italian, so he always makes us gelatine." (He meant to say 'gelato'.)
Willy: "I made you a cake... but it moves..." (Built a sand cake, accidentally trapped a bug and thought he summoned numerous demons at once.)
Clementine: "Mom never makes me eat peas. They are evil. And sometimes they roll." (Yeah, how dare they.)

people who think clem surviving makes no sense are so funny. "they were literally foreshadowing her death the entire season" let me introduce you to the concept of a red herring. she tells lilly she isnt lee and shes right. the narrative was forcing her down that path, a path she saw as an inevitable fate waiting to take her too, but its a narrative broken by aj, who is also his own person and not S1 clem
"it happened to lee, and itll happen to you" lilly tells clem she'll die protecting aj from some mistake he makes, when in reality his defiance of her will is what saves her life after she had already accepted her fate. he breaks clem free from the lee cycle and they get their relatively happy ending. good for them

Shit like that is why Tangerine should've stayed in Ericson! She must take care of her leg but nooooooo! People in Ericson was mean to me :'(! I'm not surprised she caught a fever considering she's ignoring her wound. Sorry for sounding so bitter.
It's a big issue with the "Clementine left Ericson willingly" plot point in this trilogy. Aside from it just being out of character for her based on what we see in TWDG, it lessens the amount of sympathy we're willing to give as readers.
If she was forced to leave Ericson, whether because they kicked her out or it was under attack, she would have no choice. She'd have to leave, and then these situations wouldn't feel like her fault, y'know? You're more likely to see her suffer, fall down, or get an infection, and feel bad because it's not her fault, she was dealt a shitty hand.
But this angle of her leaving because she was unhappy or because she felt like a burden... she still left the safety of place where she could've properly healed from an amputation. Losing her leg isn't just another injury you can be like, "Oh just keep off it, it'll heal." That's a lot of healing and physical/emotional trauma to get through and she would've had a better chance of it if she stayed with AJ and Ericson.
Since she left, we're kinda just sitting here saying, "Yeah, Clementine... you have to take care of your leg. You have to wash it. You can't be running around on it all the time while it's still healing. You're going to be more prone to infection, and in the zombie apocalypse, that's super not great. What were you thinking? You should have stayed at Ericson. You should not be here at this ski lodge or running through the woods."
A lot of problems with the story and characterization stem from that decision and unfortunately, it's weakening the story.
