#twdg headcanons

[ericsonclan]

We were watching the new documentary on Netflix called The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnappings which is about survivors of a boarding school's abusive tactics and brainwashing methods. It made us ponder how Ericson was the same type of school and from what we hear from the Ericson kids they probably experienced some of the same abuse and brainwashing as the real-life survivors of the Academy at Ivy Ridge.

One of the common tactics that Ivy Ridge used was to victim blame and turn all fault back onto the students even for tragedies that they had no part in causing. That led us to wonder how much of Louis and Violet's backstories which they tell Clem in Episode 3 are accurate and how much of these confessions are tainted by the school's brainwashing. Considering Louis and Violet were about 10 and 11 when they got abandoned at Ericson, they would be especially susceptible to internalizing the school's narrative surrounding their actions.

For Violet, her recollection of how she responded to her grandmother's death could have been twisted by the school. After all, the school financial benefits from keeping kids there as long as possible so why not make Violet believe she's incapable of regular human emotions and a freak? Instead of helping Violet piece together how adverse circumstances might have led her to develop emotional shields the school likely pushed the narrative that she was fundamentally broken. Though Violet grew up in poverty, it could be that her schooling was paid for by the state as sometimes happens with students seen as "problem" cases. This would make her a walking meal ticket and holding onto her indefinitely probably wouldn't have been caught by government bureaucracy for years.

For Louis, the truth of the narrative is a bit harder to piece together. According to Louis he was the sole architect of a master plan to outwit both of his parents for over a year. This black and white narrative where only Louis would be to blame for his parents' divorce fits in with how these types of "reform" schools will break down children. For example in the documentary one girl was told that she was to blame for her father's death in a car accident even though she was only five at the time. It feels likely - especially considering the details we get of how authoritarian Louis' father was - that Louis was not the sole cause of the divorce. Even in the most amicable of divorces children can tend to blame themselves for their parents breaking up. Considering that Lous describe his family as "stupid rich", Ericson probably wanted to hold onto him for as long as possible and make him and his parents believe he was a complete monster.

We'll probably never know for sure how much truth or fiction lie within Violet and Louis' stories but we thought this would be an interesting facet to consider since we hadn't seen it discussed before.

Hello! I was wondering if I could get, a Clem and Louis with a super soft and really nice s/o who during they find out has a very violent history and thats why they were sent to Ericsons? Maybe during Rubys game before at the party before the raiders came. Thanks so much, hope your week is going well :]

Hi! I hope your week is going good too, enjoy!:) And happy valentines day!!

Clem wasn’t that shocked

The apocalypse can change people

Wether it be good or bad

She was still a little surprised though

She cant imagine her sweet S/O beating someone up

But at least she knows you can defend yourself better now

Overall she wouldn’t be that fazed but a little shocked

Louis was SHOCKED at First

But when he thought about

He was the same

He was a menace as a kid

And now he’s super sweet and funny

But nonetheless he’s a bit shocked

Like Clem he can’t imagine his S/O hurting a fly

Besides walkers ofc

He’s honestly shocked to his core at first

But he starts to understand

[juno-box]

Do you have any last name headcanons?

I think Clementine's would be Crawford (based on the scrapped internal name for her)

Kenny Hammon (+ Katjaa and Duck)

Lilly's actually would've been Caul if they stuck with her originally being Lilly Caul from the novels and the comic. I still HC her and Larry with that last name to this day.

Carley's would probably be Vigil (after her VA, because slay <;3)

Doug is based on Doug Tobacco, a former Telltale employee, but I feel like our Doug would've probably Jones

(Gonna hop on over to S4)

When I came up with these I was thinking of a Modern/No Apocalypse AU, so:

Louis would be a Sullivan to me.

Marlon gives off Anderson.

Violet gives Thompson vibes.

Tenn and his sisters give Rodgers energy.

Ruby is from the South like me so I HC her with a name like Harrison or Simmons.

Aasim is based on Telltale's Aasim Zubair, but I HC him with the name Barman.

Omar is a God, so I bless thee with the surname Hendricks (and NOT because it a reference to Kendrick Lamar)

Mitch gets the last name Williamson, because my best friend growing up had that last name lol

Willy gets Johnson because it's a double entendre lol.

(BONUS) - Luke gets Porter because we like Scott Porter here lol - Nick would probably be Randall, like his Uncle Pete because I doubt his mother was married. - And I dubbed Travis "Hoffmann" because why not, kek.

[littlesugarwords]

A scenario where the s2 cabin group stop to rest by a campfire for a little but but while they get ready to sleep they see Clem stay a bit farther away from the others and away from the campfire. How do they all react?

more angst YES

Luke: Luke stretched, easing himself onto a log around the fire, keeping his hands warm. Just past the flames, Luke glanced up, spotting Clementine in the distance, shrouded in the darkness, seemingly laying her bag down on the road. “Clem?” She glanced up, pausing. Without another word, Clem roped her bag and wandered over. “Come, sit.” Luke said, gesturing to the open spot beside him. Quietly, Clem did. “What are you doing all the way over there?” Clem shrugged. “It seems nice and quiet.” “And here doesn’t?” He asked, gesturing to an open spot near the fire. Clem merely looked at it, but didn’t respond. “Is everything okay, Clem?” She hesitated for a moment, looking down at her hands in her lap. “It’s hard to relax when I’m around everyone.” She said faintly. “It’s hard to trust that I can stay that close.” Clem knew she could trust Luke. To anyone else, she wasn’t sure if she would confess such a thing. Luke frowned, pitying the young girl. “Hey,” he said softly. “If you’re not tired yet, just hang here with me. Stay warm, then you can go over there to sleep.” Clem nodded, even though Luke knew he would watch over her the moment she went to bed. He didn’t want her to be that far away. Her worried about her.

Nick: Nick knew this would only be temporary, but it didn’t make things any better. He hated nights like these. Sleeping on the dirt killed his back, but it was better than nothing at all. Before he crawled into his sleeping bag, he turned to the fire to ensure it was safely burning. That’s when he spotted Clementine, a ways off into the darkness, away from the fire, curling into her sleeping bag. He glanced around, noting everyone else was asleep, and drew closer. “Why are you all the way out here?” “It’s quieter.” Clementine said, without turning to look at him. In reality, she didn’t want to get too attached. She knew she shouldn’t. It was only going to cause more hurt later. Aren’t you cold?” “I’m fine.” Clementine was laying down, clutching her makeshift pillow, eyes closed. Nick frowned. He felt for her. He knew what it was like to isolate yourself. She must have struggled through so much. She was too afraid to get close to them, emotionally and, now, physically. “Try to have a good sleep.” Clementine said nothing, curling into herself, already feeling the chill of the cool night air.

Pete: Pete would sigh to himself, stretching his back after setting up his sleeping bag. He had made the fire and hauled the wood, and he could really feel it in his muscles. As he turned to rest by the fire, taking a sip from the wine bottle they had saved from the cabin, he spotted shuffling in the distance. His hand instinctively went to the knife on his hip until he realized what it was. He took a quick swing and wandered over. “Clem, what are you doing?” He turned, seeing just how far she was from the fire. “You’ll freeze over here.” “I like the cold.” Pete hesitated, then sat down, registering what was going on. “What’s really going on?” “I like privacy.” “Clem,” Pete pushed gently. He knew a broken person when he saw one. He also knew an anxious, distrustful person. “I know something’s eating at you.” Clementine closed her eyes. “It’s just hard to sleep that close to other people.” She confessed. Pete nodded, his heart pained for the child. “I’ll stay and take guard if you’d like to sleep closer to the fire,” he offered. Clem hesitated, eyes opening. “Maybe.” Was all she said. Pete knew he couldn’t push it, so waited for her to make the decision herself. One day at a time. One step at a time.

Carlos: Carlos ensured Sarah was in her sleeping bag, ready for bed, before he turned to the fire. He was going to control it more and sit awake, unable to sleep after such a day. His mind was too active. Just as he went to tend to the flames, he heard rustling in the distance and turned, spotting Clementine curling into her sleeping bag and falling asleep. He didn’t hesitate and went straight to her. “Clementine?” She opened her eyes without moving her already-resting head. “Why are you all the way out here? There’s plenty of room.” “I’m okay.” Clem said, closing her eyes again, as if to ignore him. “I like it out here.” “You’ll get too cold during the night.” “I’ll be fine. I’ve slept in worse.” Carlos frowned, hands on his hoops at how stubborn she was being. If she was his child, he would’ve pulled her right to the fire. But, she wasn’t. Instead, he left without a word, but set a folded up extra blanket beside her in case she needed it throughout the night.

Sarah: Sarah found nights like this scary but exciting. It felt like a sleepover. She’d barely had any of those before the world seemed to collapse at the seams. What made it actually feel like a sleepover was Clementine - someone around her age. They could gossip all night over whispers and soft giggles. As Sarah turned around, searching for Clementine so she could pull her sleeping bag closer, but couldn’t see her. In fact, she couldn’t see her anywhere. “Clementine?” She called nervously, not wanting to wake the others. “What?” Came a soft reply, off in the distance. Sarah picked up her bag and drew closer, spotting Clementine in the corner of their small, enclosed area. “What are you doing all the way over here?” “I like the privacy.” She said passively. Sarah hesitated, turning around and staring at the fire, lighting up the filled sleeping bags full of their team. With a deep breath, Sarah laid her sleeping bag down and curled in. “I’ll join you.” Clem didn’t dispute her decision. Clementine watched with one eye open, shocked she was even willing to. “Gosh, it’s freezing over here.” Sarah mumbled, curling herself deeper into her bag. Clem smirked and closed her eyes, feeling cozy with her friend by her side.

Alvin: Alvin sighed, stepping away from the fire to cool off. He had been the one to arrange the logs around the fire, keeping everyone close to the heat. As he wandered away, he spotted Clementine, resting in the corner, curling into her bag. “What are you doing all the way out here?” Alvin asked, setting his hands on his hips. Clementine glanced up, sitting upright in her bag. “It’s nice over here.” “Nicer than by the fire?” “Quieter.” Alvin hesitated, slowly connecting the pieces together. He had seen it before with Sarah; isolation. She was overwhelmed with all of the changes. She was too young to deal with everything the day had offered her. What this world had offered her. “Well, at least let me bring you another blanket, okay?” He asked gently. “Then, I’ll leave you be.” Clementine only nodded, not wanting to argue. Besides, it was chilly in the corner. Maybe it would be nice. Besides, Alvin had always looked out for her right from the moment they first met. He always knew what was best.

Rebecca: Rebecca groaned as she eased herself into a seat. She needed to sit up for a while before attempting to go to bed. Her back was already killing her thanks to her pregnancy, and needed to sit upright to stretch before she fell asleep on the dirt road they were stationed on. Noticing shuffling in the distance, Rebecca’s heart tensed. Then, Clementine emerged from the shows, adjusting her hat and going for a sip of some of their clean water. “Clem,” Rebecca said, an eyebrow raised. “Come here.” Clementine hesitated, then caved and drew closer. “What are you doing over there?” Now, Clem raised a brow. “Getting ready to sleep?” Rebecca scoffed. “No you’re not. All the way over there.” Clementine said nothing. “Bring your sleeping bag closer.” “I like it over there.” Rebecca paused, studying her expression. It was blank, empty, as though there was nothing left inside of her. “Are you going to be warm enough?” Clem nodded. Just as Clementine turned around again, Rebecca stopped her. “Take this at least.” She said, handing Clementine a tattered old blanket. ‘It’s the only extra we have.” Cautiously, Clem took it, nodded in thanks, then continued on her way. It wasn’t a lot, but it was all Rebecca could think to do.

"You know, reds a good color on you."

Season : 2

Context : Snowball fight, that's it, just something very soft

Luke x GN reader

●～●～●～●～● ～ ●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

It's been years after the apocalypse started, long and tiresome years. It was hard to believe New Year was just a few weeks away... Well, and along with Christmas..

"Hey- HEy- HEY!" Some yelling was heard from the outside of the house. What the hell was going on now? You made your way to the front door, opening it to see none other than Nick laying face first in the snow with Luke trying to piece together a snowman that seemed to fall apart. God, they really did act like children sometimes... More than the actual children.

"What the hell are you guys doing now??" You questioned while leaning against the doorframe while looking down at the two. Glancing over to Nick, who seemed to pick himself back up from out of the snow, that still seemed to be coming down. "We got bored.." The male said as he picked up his hat, shaking it off before putting it back on.

"You BOTH were supposed to be hunting." You spoke while shooting a glance at Luke, assuming it was his idea. "When no animals showed up, we got tired of standin' there.." Luke finally spoke, placing the torso of the snowman back onto the body while doing so. "You're so tense lately, loosen up for a change we'll be fine, we got enough food to last us all winter and then some." Luke added.

He was right, but that didn't change the fact that they weren't doing their job. "Loosen up?? Are you serious right now? Luke, I can't just loose -" You had begun to lecture before getting cut off by a snowball hitting your shoulder. You looked to Nick, who just put his arms up in defense before pointing to Luke. So, you looked to him next, a cocky look plastered onto his face as you felt the remaining snow fall off of your shoulder.

He really knew how to piss you off, huh? Once the snow fell, you took a deep breath before looking at the snow that was gathered onto the deck railing. Making another glance to Luke, who was just smiling like an absolute idiot.

"You know, you're pretty cute when you look like you wanna slam my head into the nearest tree!" He exclaimed while laughing slightly. Getting caught off guard by the snowball that hit him directly in the face, from none other than you. Now you let out a laugh while you watched Luke struggle to get the snow completely off of his face, listening to the small string of curses he left behind while doing so.

You took Luke's moment of distraction as a chance to swiftly make your way off the deck, hiding behind a nearby tree. Preparing another snowball to throw with a confident look plastered onto your face. You couldn't help but notice the sun was beginning to set. This fight would have to be quick. Luckily, Luke wasn't a hard person to fight in a snowball fight. His aim wasn't the best, and you could easily overpower him with your words and flirty remarks alone.

You shaped the snowball as you looked at it for a moment, a quiet laugh soon escaping your lips as you looked behind the tree. Just to notice, Luke wasn't even there anymore, just Nick finishing the snowman. Rather confused, you look to the ground. There was no trail in sight in the snow. "What the..." All was quiet for a few moments before a loud yell belonging to Luke nearly made you jump ten feet in the air. You turn around back behind the tree to look up at the county boy with a huff, "Fucks sake Luke!" you scolded with a sigh.

Meanwhile, Luke just laughed, even up close he still looked as dumb as ever. But in an endearing way. "I didn't know your voice went that high, you know if it went any higher it could almost pass as a mouse." Luke spoke with a soft tone in his voice, filled with comfort and warmth. You two were so close together already you hadn't even realized that he moved in a little more, to the point your cold noses were slightly touching. Looking over the others face, you couldn't help but notice he seemed to be as red as a cherry. "You know, reds a good color on you."

That remark alone made Lukes eyes widen slightly, meeting your gaze. He looked anxious but excited. "Is this... okay with you?" He asked quietly, almost like you two were exchanging secrets back and forth. A smile made its way onto your face as you snaked your hand around to the back of the others neck, noticing how Luke shut his eyes, expecting a kiss of sorts. Just to be met with a snowball getting mushed into his face once again. You couldn't help but laugh at the shocked expression that made its way onto Luke's face, and when he saw you laugh? He couldn't help but laugh too before dusting the snow off. "C'mon, it's getting late, and the temperature is dropping. Wouldn't want you to get a cold now." He said with a smile as he intertwined his cold fingers with your warm ones. "Looks like Nick already went in." You said aloud mainly to yourself as the both of you walked back up the deck and into the house.

What do you think Brody got sent to Ericson for? What about Tenn and the twins? Marlon and Omar?

oohhhh this is a good question!

brody: i think she got sent because of her anxiety. her parents thought smth was wrong with her whenever she got her panic attacks

tenn, minnie & sophie: this is a toughie. i feel like they actually did nothing wrong, they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. smth happened and their parents were all 'oh! our kids are actually not okay! off to ericson they go!'

marlon: i'd say smth related to his anger. like it got way out of hand and his parents couldn't take it anymore

omar: hmmmm i like to think that he was super quiet as a kid, like hardly talked at all, and his parents thought smth was wrong with him so they said 'off to ericson you go!'

[bourbonificould]

Do you have any headcanons for twdg characters and what they did before the apocalypse?

I think this is more for the elder characters so let's try:

The St. John's were ranchers and farmers obviously, but I think Andy was probably more into heading into the city every now and then.

Luke and Nick were known to be unemployed, I think they lived pretty close to each other with their families. The families were very working class though, so they weren't in a crazy rush especially with their "business" failing.

Ben Paul was probably an alright academic, I like to think that he would try to talk with Clem and Duck about things at the Motor Inn, maybe how school was or what their favorite subjects are.

Speaking of Duck, he would like to bug his father A LOT about the times of fish or all that stuff that he'd check on, but then Duck would totally forget the next day.

We know that Aasim was "cured" right before the apocalypse, but I can assume that the rest of the Ericson's students were either in the middle or nowhere near the "cured" mantle.

Christa wasn't the biggest people person, so I'm not really set on like a job for her, but she seems like a working woman. Omid was super into the "thrill of life" nonsense, and was definitely a little more energetic than he seems in the series. Christa always joked that he'd get himself arrested one day with his reckless driving.

I think Molly was probably in university but would skip her classes often, claiming she was "in no rush to graduate". She'd go out on her own often around the state even, keeping in touch with her sister and even sneaking her out sometimes.

I wish I could think of more but I have a headache 😭 uhhh we'll get back to it soon

[mischievouslittlewriter]

Hello!

I'd like to request Mitch headcannons with a S/O who gets very hyper when happy, basically if they had a good day she jumps off the walls, basically can't stay still and is more talkative than other days?

I thought that'd be really nice to have Mitch watch his S/O prance around happily!

Hey there! Sure thing. I hope this is good enough.

Mitch x S/O who gets hyper when happy!

Like I mentioned in my clumsy reader headcanons,

Mitch normally likes to stay put.

I mean, he'd probably mess up any carvings and bombs if he was jumping to the moon as he made them.

But I don't necessarily think that'd shape his whole view on it.

If you're someone who's normally chill,

You both tend to vibe together.

If not, it doesn't make much of a difference.

So imagine his surprise,

When one day, you came in,

Practically bouncing off the walls.

"You good-?"

That'd be his first response,  confusion on his face.

Even if you were a normally talkative person,

He'd never seen you so.. happy. 

Being happy was a rare thing in this world.

Even though he's more of a harsh person,

He wouldn't be able to help but smile,

Listening to your excitement.

"Don't knock anything over. Marlon'll be pissed."

That wasn't really his main concern, if you couldn't tell.

Mitch loves to listen to what makes you happy,

He may seem tough, but not to you, or Willy.

He'll even put his equipment down,

Listening to whatever story you had to tell,

A small smile clear on his face.

Even if you were practically sprinting around the room,

He'd hold onto every word.

If you're struggling to stay still, out of excitement,

He'd totally be down for walking around the grounds a bit.

"I am not running after you, Y/N."

Oh, but he would.

If you're happy,

He can't help but be happy too.

Can i request a twdg characters clem, louis, Mitch, Marlon, Violet and Brody with a badass reade who has like tattoos, scars and can take someone twice their size down?

hiii, sorry these are short! i didn't want to repeat too much. i already did something like this with mitch, which is why he isn't here.

tws: none

clem, louis, marlon, violet and brody with a badass s/o

clem

she's really impressed with your skill. everyone is, but she shows it a lot more than some other people would. she asks you where you learned everything from and you trade tips sometimes

she thinks your tattoos are really cool but she doesn't really mention them that much. they're just a part of you and it makes you unique

she will never ask about how you got your scars unless you bring them up first. she doesn't want to hurt your feelings or make you upset at all

she's definitely proud of you, though. it's awesome watching you be able to do everything you do without having to worry about you getting hurt

louis

he's in love with you at first sight. you aren't like anyone else he's ever met and he thinks you're awesome right off the bat

he compliments you on your tattoos sometimes and when you actually get into a relationship he likes tracing them with his fingers. it calms him down

he's super impressed by you (as is everyone else), but he will cheer you on. "that's my partner! did you guys see that!!" stuff

he wants to ask about the scars but he doesn't want to pry, either. he knows you'll tell him eventually, and when you do, he feels so honored that you're comfortable enough like that

marlon

he thinks you're super useful. he's a bit wary of accepting you into his group, but he'll give in because he likes you

he's gonna compliment you a lot. he wonders where you got your skills from but he doesn't ask. he's just glad you're good enough so where he doesn't have to worry as much about someone else

when you get together, he'll be more affectionate and more willing to give you compliments. he likes your tattoos and thinks they give you character

he might ask once about a scar he sees, solely because it looks fresh and he's worried. you tell him that it's nothing and he drops it. he trusts you

violet

violet won't admit it but she catches feelings really fast. you're one of the only people she's willing to describe as her equal

she thinks you're awesome and she'll learn how to compliment you more as time goes by without it being ridiculously awkward

she likes your tattoos and she wants to get one for herself at some point, so she admires yours a lot. if you catch her she gets really flustered

brody

she's one of the leaders at ericson's so she (like marlon) is a bit distrustful of you at first. she gets really anxious a lot about having a new person around but she ends up liking you

she's glad that you know how to handle yourself. it eases her worries whenever you have to split up outside in walker territory

tattoos aren't really her thing for herself, but she likes yours. she thinks they suit you and she'll tell you that after awhile

[garciafamlover500]

MORE AUTISTIC JAVIER GARCIA

So i like to imagine when javi was younger and finding out he was autistic, he would feel ashamed of himself because he felt like he was weird and more different then other kids. He never really liked loud noises or playing with people his age and was always a picky eater when it came to certain food textures. This would cause him to get picked on a lot and the only person he openly talked about it with was david, and david (because i crave more brotherly fluff between these two) would just sit with javi and offer his best support.

Speaking of david, i could totally see little javi infodumping about all his special interests to david and david would just sit there and smile the whole time while also forgetting half of what he's talking about because of how fast he would speak.

I also like to imagine javi would stim in multiple ways. Such as chewing on different stuff like pencils and his own shirt, humming to himself, rocking back and forth and rapidly tapping his feet.

(AND LIKE IMAGINE DAVID GIVING JAVI NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES IN CASE HE GOT OVERSTIMULATED AND JAVI WOULD JUST GATHER HIM IN THE TIGHTEST BEAR HUG EVER.)

But as javi and david grew older and their relationship began to crumble, i imagine javi would start to feel more ashamed of himself and would desperately try to hide his autistic traits, such as stims and sensitivty to loud noises (at least whenever he was in public). And as the apocalypse began it got even worse (escpecially when the events of ANF happen.)

[blair-the-juggalho]

Smoking the devils lettuce with Mitch (TWDG)

Super dumb idea but I need to write my thoughts. Also yes I based some of these of my own experiences shhh!

Sorry if there are any mistakes, there too many words here to reread 💀

Dont smoke kids. If ya do do it safely please.

You’ve smoked weed before (sorry if you havent but this is the way it’s gonna go this time)

Mitch had only once stole a cig from his dad when he was a child.

He hated it and started chocking

However he told everyone he smoked the whole thing without coughing once-

You most likely found a ten bag with some normal cigs when scavenging about and obviously you where stoked!

You could make about 4 joints with it

But heres the big question

To share or Not to share?

You knew you couldn’t let everyone know! I mean Jesus Ruby would kill you.

But this is a treat for staying alive ok?

You sat in your room preparing the joints

Meanwhile, Mitch walked past your room and could notice a horrid stench Coming from inside.

He knocked on and opened your door while coving his nose

“Shit What the fuck is going on in here??”

Oh shit…probs should of put a candle out or use some air freshener…

“Oh hey Mitch…🙂”

“What the fuck is that?”

“…a joint…”

“Holy shit a real one?”

“Well duh.”

“Rad…”

You (being very nice and generous) offered to share it with him!

He agreed exitedly but you can tell he was a little nervous

He closed the door behind him and sat next to you

You light the first joint and take a few drags then hand it over to Mitch

He tried to put on a cool bad boy act but his hand was shaking

“You know weed is very over exaggerated in most TV shows and movies right? You’ll just feel dizzy then after a few minutes you’ll feel more relaxed.”

Mitch nodded and relaxed a bit before taking a drag

A few more drags later and you both start to feel it kicking in

I doubt he’d be paranoid as long as you both are smoking indoors, if you guys ever did it outdoors he’d be freaking out (seeing walkers and hearing noises and such)

And I don’t think he’d throw up he felt a bit sick the first time but not enough to throw up

After the first joint is over he really mellows out!

He’d put on some music and just unwind

Like I said before, as long as he’s indoors he’s just a quiet high kinda guy

He’s so relaxed and calm unlike his usual hot headed self

He’d only get the giggles if you guys where smoking the weed That’s for ya body and Not your head (soz im proper stupid and don’t know the actual terms lmao)

After you guys finish the joints you both use a whole bottle of spray on deodorant to try to cover up the smell

It’s still painfully obvious tho

He wouldn’t really want to leave Ericssons but he would if you really wanted too

Most of the time you two end up walking around Ericsson life Ring to music (And trying to hide from everyone)

Also idk how but if you two ever get your hands on a sugary drink you both take turns drinking it SO you can feel your get all tingly lmao!

Also omfg when the munchies kick in you two are kinda fucked.

You two try and sneak into where Omar keeps any ingredients and shit and Just scran it all

“I feel so weird…I can taste the food but i cant feel anything in my stomach…it doesn’t even feel like I have a stomach.”

“Yep…me too mitch.😌”

Also one last thing, you two got caught.

And you got shouted at…ALOT

By ruby ofc.

Have funnn :)

[ericsonclan]

do you have any personal headcannons for what some of the ericson kids home lifes were like?

Louis: He had a very privileged upbringing but also grew up in a very controlling household. Image is everything. Everything that he did was watched and critiqued by his dad and if he wan't good enough he didn't receive love and affirmation. His mom didn't agree with his dad's way of parenting but she didn't speak up for Louis. Louis' lack of self confidence and self love were caused by his upbringing.

Violet: She had a horrible upbringing. She had some people that were safe to her like her grandparents and her mom as well when she wasn't completely burnt out. But her dad was an abusive drunk who made her childhood hell. She had pockets of time where it was safe like being at her grandparents but the rest of the time she was in an intense abusive setting that she felt like she would never escape. Her defenses and the walls she puts up around people are an outcome of her life growing up.

Sophie, Minnie and Tenn: They had a really good home life. Their parents were really nice and loving but they died and for years the three of them were tossed around in the foster system. No one wanted to adopted three kids and as a result they ended up at Ericson because the system didn't know what to do with them.

Omar: He had very strict, hardworking parents so his home life had very much the same mindset. His parents loved him but didn't necessary like him. They blamed their inability to connect to be something wrong with him. Those "problems" being his quietness and lack of showing strong emotions. Thus they sent him to Ericson.

Aasim: He lived in a household that held him to very high expectations. He went above and beyond in reaching those but he could not hold back his love of fire. He ended up setting something on fire in the neighborhood and greatly pissed off the neighbors who threatened to sue unless his parents sent him somewhere.

Ruby: She had a very loving and accepting household. Her mom passed away when she was young which left her with her dad and her many brothers. Most of the time everything was great but once her anger issues started showing up then problems started happening. She punched a kid so hard they pissed themself all over the playground and so Ruby was sent to Ericson to learn how to be a proper lady.

Brody: She had the most normal, boring upbrining. She lived in a very plain household. Her parents had a kid because "that's what couples do" and so there was always a disconnect between her and her parents. Her anxiety was something very alien to them and they couldn't relate. When her anxiety kept getting worse they kept getting more frustrated and decided to send her to a school to "fix" it.

Mitch: He grew up in a low income household. His mom passed away when he was young and so his dad tried his best to raise him but it was a struggle. His dad had his hands full with just trying to get bread on the table so when Mitch started picking fights over neighborhood kids teasing him about his face and when he blew something up his dad didn't know what else to do but send him away.

Willy: He grew up with a more conservative family. So when he started touching himself they thought he was possessed by the devil. Prayers and church weren't working and they found a brochure for Ericson so they sent him there, partly to try and help him and partly to get rid of him because they were creeped out by him.

Marlon: A very all American household, white picket fence, working class but getting by, very patriotic. His dad voted for Trump. His mom didn't vote because that's not a woman's place. It was a miracle he turned out pretty okay. He had bad anxiety around things surrounding school like tests and sports. So one day he decided to steal a car to blow off some steam. He got caught with that stolen car that he took for a joyride. So to Ericson he went!

I don't think I've requested this yet so here I am

Could you please write s1 groups reaction to a young reader (like, 9 years old or smth) looking after a toddler, sort of 1-3 year old? Like, the reader is the sort of kid that's depressingly wise beyond their years. Sort of like dynamic between clem and aj (s3) except the reader is wayyy younger than clem was in s3. (IF possible, could you add Carley and Lillys reactions too? If not for any reason that is perfectly fine)

Have a good day, hope you're well 💗💗💗

Hi! Sorry I didn’t get to this earlier😭I hope you enjoy it though!💗

Let’s say one day Lee and Kenny went on a run to find food

While they’re in an old store, they hear something fall over

You had accidentally knocked over a can

The toddler you were looking after got scared of the noise and started crying

“Shhh!”

But it was too late

Lee and Kenny had found you

They immediately brought you and your toddler back to the motel

Lee had assumed your guys parents had gotten bit, or maybe you ran away or got lost from them

He takes care of both of you

But sometimes feels like he doesn’t need to since you’re so smart

Sometimes he gets a bit scared of how smart you are

You were a 9 year old with the knowledge of someone way older than you

He’s super impressed with your knowledge though

And he takes care of you either way

When Kenny and Lee found you, Kenny wasn’t that surprised

He saw two little kids with no parents, a common sight to see in the apocalypse

But he noticed how smart you were

You knew how to survive

And you knew how to care for a young child

Even though you were also one yourself

Like Lee, he’s impressed with how smart you are

But he finds it sad too, because he knows how you probably gained that knowledge

He also finds it incredible how well you care for kids

Even kids your age or older

Clementine DEFINITELY looks up to you

You’re like an older sister for her

Even though you’re the same age

You know as much as Lee or Kenny does

She asks you to teach her how to care for the toddler with you

You teach her about taking care of children and survival

Clem loves hearing you talk about caring for kids or stories about outside the walls of the motel

Katjaa finds it so sad how much you know:(

But she loves taking care of your toddler with you

She would never ask what happened to you and your toddlers parents but would try and be like a mother figure for you

She’ll babysit your toddler so you can be a kid again

“I’ll watch them, play with Clem and Duck. It’s ok.”

She loves taking care of you

Brushing your hair, Finding you things on runs, Sharing her foods she knows you like

Ben finds it so sad:(

He’s shocked you know more about survival than him

And that you know so much about caring for your toddler

He would never ask about your parents

He knows what it’s like

He might be like an older brother to you

Carley would immediately feel terrible for you and your toddler!:(

She tries getting you and Clem to get closer to be friends

But understands if you don’t want to

She’ll take care of your toddler with you

Her and Lee might be like parental figures for you and your toddler

She feels so bad about your parents though

S1 Lilly liked kids, in the flashbacks with Clementine she was so sweet

She’ll keep her “tough girl” act around her dad though

She’ll take care of your toddler if you need her too

And will protect you (if you need it)

She admires how skilled you are

But finds it so sad at the same time

She probably won’t act as a mother figure for you

I have Questions, Ericson Kids. A lot.

Info: The title says it all. While playing the fourth season for the billionth time, I questioned the entire existence of this school and its inhabitants. But I’ll try and keep this short because I’m still learning for the last exams.

Warnings: Eh, spoilers and swears

-----

Alright, first question: When exactly did the adults leave the school? 

It is said, that every last one of the adults abandoned the school and the kids, except Mrs. Martin, who was the nurse there. So I guess she was in charge most of the time after the apocalypse started. When exactly did she die? Assuming Marlon is 19 years old when he dies, the apocalypse has been going since... 8-9 years. Never ever has he run this shit since he was 10/11 years old, never in my life would I believe that. So my guess is, that she died when he was AT LEAST 14. And that only goes if the adults left immediately after the first walker showed up. 

-----

Who trained Rosie?

Marlon said that she was the headmaster’s dog before the dead started to rise again. But like I said, the apocalypse broke out 8-9 years prior to the events of season four. At least that’s what I’ve heard and read. That means, Rosie has to be at least 8 years old. Depending on when the adults left... I got a dog myself and I can tell you, a 10 year old kid can’t possibly deal with such a huge dog who’s in puberty. That’s a death sentence. I mean, yeah miracles happen, but, uhm... very unrealistic. Did Mrs. Martin take care of her? And did she teach Marlon her signs and signals for Rosie? Help him gain her trust etc.? Maybe he was clinging to the headmaster because he wanted to get to know his new dog? If Rosie even was that new. Maybe she’s older than we think, but I higly doubt that. At the age of ten years and more, that dog shouldn’t be able to run and walk like that anymore. 

-----

This one would never have occured to me if I hadn’t listened to some cut out answers from Marlon in the basement. But now that I heard at (and am glad that he didn’t say that one line): How do the girls deal with their special time in the month?

It’s not like they can buy pads and tampons in a store anymore, especially since a certain SOMEONE has drawn a safe zone on a map. And don’t forget, they were a lot more when the apocalypse started. If we say that Mrs. Martin was there for about... four years, then she died because of the walkers in the greenhouse. Then she probably would have taken care of it, I dunno, use some bandages or cloth, but most importantly, tell them what the fuck is going on. And tell the boys too! In a discrete way of course and make sure they know to shut up about it, it’s not funny. 

But hell, if Mrs. Martin wasn’t there and after a few years of running the school, everything seemed to get a little bit better, Marlon one day wakes up to a bunch of girls having their period for the first time and he’s like What the Fuck is going on, are they infested, do we have to kill them, CAN we kill them, stop screaming at me, why aren’t any of the boys in pain and bleeding, why did I ever step up as your leader, stop this shit. - poor boy. And Louis wouldn’t be any help, he would just look at Marlon like Man, you are the leader, I’m the gentleman, you handle this xD

-----

How did they all learn how to shoot with a bow and arrow? 

I don’t think any of them really knew how to do that before they attended Ericson, but... was there some form of archer club? Because the bow Marlon uses looks like a professional one, a compound bow, but that’s the only one they use. The others look a lot more self made or less expensive. 

It’s a little weird that Marlon is the only one using the professional bow, considering the fact that it can be stretched better and has a wider range. Yes, he is the leader and all, but for surviving it wouldn’t be that smart to hold other, better bows back from your comrades, just so you can look good. And I’m sure he knows that, he’s the one constantly worrying about the food. 

So what happened? Or is it really his and he just took it with him from home? Very unlikely, I wouldn’t let a kid run around in school with a bow that is twice its size, even now that bow is as big as Marlon’s entire torso.

-----

...These are kids in puberty. And there was ONE pair confirmed, Violet and Minerva. And Aasim having a thing for Ruby, but that’s it. How exactly did these little hormone-driven kids not fall all over each other long ago?

They were a lot more back in the days, that means, they had more options as well. I mean, yes, they are in the middle of the apocalypse, but we see couples, we even see pregnant women throughout the entire game. Maybe Mrs. Martin had THE TALK with them, so there wouldn’t be any... accidents... yeah, you know what I’m saying here. But still, one pair? Hell, Violet managed to find a girlfriend, how on earth did they all reject Louis? I get why Marlon isn’t interested in finding love, he knows that would just cause trouble for them all, he said it himself. But Louis? And even Brody, Brody is a very beautiful girl, from the inside and outside. Why? And don’t come after me here now, I know very well that relationships have to develop and for some people it really takes time. I can’t imagine Violet and Minnie looking at eachother one day and saying ‘Fuck me’ (although... that would have been funny). It has to be worked on, yes. But a bunch of teenagers in a little fortress? Man, if I was there and had to choose between 30 kids, I’d definetely find someone (that sounds so perverted, Jesus Christ - but you know what I mean!)

-----

That’s it for today, guys! If you have any answers for these questions, pls help me, this is just so confusing xD Anyway, I’ll leave some headcanons for Marlon and Louis soon (hopefully) but for today, that’s everything (well, depends on my mood, as always, hehe)

Hi! I was the one who requested the Twdg cabin group love confession request and I wanted to say thank you so much for doing my request! I absolutely loved it, I really love the cabin group so it makes me really happy to see someone writing for them 💜

If you don’t mind me asking for another request, could I request some scenarios of the cabin group reacting to their S/O being kidnapped by Carver? Like a scenario similar to what happened in episode 2 where the S/O gets taken by Carver while they’re watching Sarah, and when the group returns back to the cabin Sarah tells them all what happened? (Or something similar to this, doesn’t have to be this exact scenario if you’d like to change it up)

I hope I worded this in a way where it’s not too confusing or anything lol

OOOOOH BOYYYYYY the angst is real here. Ima go with that: when they return and Sarah has to fill them in.

Luke: Luke could feel his heart sink - more so crash - into his stomach. He almost felt as though his legs were going to go weak. “What do you mean ‘took them’?” He asked, voice strained yet soft. Luke turned, staring out the still ajar front door, staring into the trees, wondering where on earth they could be out there. Were they scared? Terrified? Cold? Soaked to the bone? Were they lonely? With Carver, any of those things - or even worse, all of those things -  could be true. He felt his knuckles clench and his jaw tighten. “Grab your gun.” He scoffed under his breath. It was raspy and hoarse. “What?” “Luke, you can’t--” “I said,” Luke said, snapping around and cutting Carlos off. His hands had been ruffling through his hair, causing it to be stressed in every which way. He held out a hand - it was shaking - and sighed. He tried composing himself. “I said grab your gun.” He paused between each word. “There’s no damn way I’m about to let Carver take Y/N. Hell no.” Luke seldom became this aggressive. The group knew, as he stormed up the stairs to pack a bag for the trek, that he was dead serious.

Nick: Nick felt the chaos surrounding him, and someone he was numb to it, and feeling it, all at the same time. “No,” was all he could say, staring out of the ajar door, into the woods. “That fucking asshole.” he cursed under his breath, his fists tightening and his gaze averting to the ground. If he was able to get his hands on him, he would rip him to shreds. “We have to go.” “Nick,” Luke said, voice defeated and pained. He knew Luke was pitying him, and he hated it. “We need to think carefully about this,” “We can’t just let them stay there!” Nick countered. Luke’s shoulders deflated, seeing the agony in Nick’s eyes. “Who knows what they’re doing to them right now. And while that happens we just,” he waved his arms frantically, needing to release some of his anxious energy. “Stay here? Until he comes back?” Nick scoffed and shook his head. “No.” He stormed out of the front door, snagging Pete’s gun off of the front porch, and starting away. He could hear the yells and scolds behind him, but kept going. Not long after, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and there stood Luke. “We’re not letting you do this alone.” Behind him stood the rest of the group, bags packed and hiking on their way. Nick nodded, unable to smile, too focused on saving Y/N.

Pete: Pete didn’t say anything, he stood silently as the others asked questions. He couldn’t bring himself to speak or move. All he could think was ‘how could he?’ He wasn’t surprised Carver would stoop to such a level. He was just furious. Without a word, he grabbed his gun from by the front door and started outside. “Pete?” “Pete, stop!” He could hear the group calling after him, asking where he was going. Before he knew it, he felt a firm hand on his shoulder. “I’m going.” He was firm when he flipped around, spitting the phase into Nick’s phase. Nick didn’t react at first, just nodded. “That’s why we’re coming with you.” Behind him, Pete spotted the others slowly gathering their things, trying to prep. He said nothing, but he could feel the love swell in his chest. “I’ll get ahead.” And with that, Pete started off.

Carlos: Carlos’ heart flipped, going weightless for a brief moment, as if he was having an out of body experience. “What?” He leaned in, as though he was having trouble hearing. In reality, he just wanted to deny that he’d heard anything at all. “He took them.” Sarah said again, voice trembling more this time. Carlos attempted to comfort her as best he could, but he felt numb. Every fibre, and every inch. Sarah drew close, clinging to his jacket and crying. He placed a weak hand on her back, his gaze drifting out the door, mind in a million places other than the cabin living room. He gulped hard, trying to force back the pain, but he knew everyone was staring at him. They could tell. Pete placed a hand on his shoulder “We’re going after them, alright?” he said softly, hoping to encourage him without further panicking Sarah. “This isn’t over. We won’t let it be.” Carlos could feel a tear escape, but just nodded, biting the inside of his cheek to distract himself from the crushing pain.

Rebecca: Rebecca could feel herself ready to faint. Just as she could feel her knees start to give way, Carlos and Luke grabbed her, steadying her upright once again. “You can’t be serious,” she said weekly, voice threatening to break. She couldn’t tell if she was angry, devastated, grieving, or all of the above, crashing into her head all at once. “We can’t let him.” She urged, standing upright, attempting to regain her stability. “We can’t let Carver win again.” She could feel tears clambering up in the back of her throat. “Not like this. Not with Y/N!” Her voice broke more and more with every word. Luke tried to keep her steady, hoping she would remain as calm as possible. Rebecca finally lost her grip, fell to her knees, and sobbed. It was certain death to go after them, but definite torture if she didn’t. She couldn’t win. Every fibre of her being ached.

Alvin: Alvin could feel his stomach tighten and his fists clench. “No way,” was all he could manage to force out. “Alvin,” Carlos said lowly, “I’m sorry.” “Don’t be.” Alvin spat back, turning around. “I’m bringing them back,.” “What?” Luke asked, stunned. “You can’t do it alone.” “Then join me.” Alvin seldom ever spoke this directly. He seldom ever spoke so intensely that you could hear the gruff in his vocal chords. He was livid. He was fuming. Luke relaxed his shoulders, watching as Alvin stormed deeper into the brush. “If you’re coming, pack your stuff.” He said, darting after Alvin. “I can’t lose them, Luke.” He said, so quietly Luke almost wasn’t able to hear. “I can’t.” Luke said nothing, just walked silently beside him and nodded. Alvin had the floor. Alvin made the rules. And when Alvin was angry, no one should ever dare cross him.

●～●～●～●～● ～ ●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

Characters : Louis, Violet, Clementine, Marlon

●～●～●～●～● ～ ●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

Louis :

He would write music about you, he'd probably be scribbling down different notes while having a moment with you. He writes down different words and phrases that describe you to keep for later when he goes to make lyrics

🌿

He doesn't care who's around, he loves public affection. He always has an arm wrapped around you or is holding your hand in some way

🌿

while you two are laying down for the night hes the type to play with your hair and hum until the both of you fall asleep next to eachother for the night

🌿

He gets easily flustered over small gestures, you kiss him? he cant speak. You flirt? Hes nearly gone. Any gesture makes him smile like an absolute idiot

🌿

If you mention something you like you best believe he will be looking for it to give to you as a gift, he likes seeing the way your face lights up when you get something you like :)

Violet :

She likes to sketch, so she often will just kinda draw you while you arent looking, when you come across her notebook one day and ask her about it, all she says is "Since i cant take a picture, i draw you instead..That way i can always keep a little something of you with me.."

🌌

She gets very shy with public affection, however she will do that thing where she locks pinkies with you under a table or while you're walking next to eachother

🌌

Loves to stargaze with you, though sometimes in the middle of it she'll lean her head on your chest and fall asleep

🌌

When you do something stupid she says "Thats not funny" meanwhile she cant stop smiling and laughing

🌌

Eventually, you both end up sharing a room, and a part of the wall ends up dedicated to all the small doodles shes made of you (theres alot), sometimes you both pause to just kinda look at it and embrace eachother :)

Clementine :

Something tells me she has somewhat trouble reading due to how when the apocalypse started she was only in 1st grade, so, that being said, she likes it when you read to her. Doesn't matter where, if you two are laying down she rests her head against yours, but if you both are just sitting and doing something she leans against you.

🍊

Will fall asleep sometimes while listening to you read, it makes her feel soft and safe :)

🍊

Aj probably drew a picture of you both and its hung up in her room

🍊

If you were to flirt with her i feel like at first it would go over her head for a moment until she thinks about it more, then she just like "...Oh"

🍊

When she has nightmares, you've begun helping her more so Aj can rest. You both made a whole routine to calm her down and it works enough to get her back to sleep

Marlon :

Protective to the MAX, he just wants u to be safe, if somone from another group even looks at you the wrong way then hes pissed

🐾

You help him through his issues and in return he becomes soft with you, he says he hates it but secretly loves it when you hug him tightly and reassuringly

🐾

tries to act tough but will instantly melt when you hold his hand or something along the lines of that

🐾

holds you very close in order to fall asleep, and then you both wake up absolutely tangled in eachother

🐾

Rosie instantly also becomes protective over you and absolutely loves you to bits, she follows the both of you around and snuggles with you both :)
