viva la vida by coldplay is sooo Negan (specifically his prison era).

like, hello? “I used to rule the world” ???

“I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes” (quite literally the lineup and how he treated the communities, I fear)

“Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate” (Literally Rick, Maggie and all them)

“I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own” (him in the prison at Alexandria guys)

guys do you see the vision

the kids in the walking dead are literally so much more interesting to me than the adults. (And I’m referring solely to the comics here because the show absolutely did not do any of the kids (especially Carl) justice) There’s just something about them not being fully developed people yet, because while the adults are just adapting to suit the environment, the kids are actively developing and coming into themselves in this new world. The adults like Rick, Andrea and Michonne all have years of lived experiences before the apocalypse that serve as a base layer of sorts to their characters. They are developed people, and no matter how much they adapt in the apocalypse, they will never lose that base of who they are. The kids, however, don’t have that. Their base layer is actively being formed while zombies are trying to eat them. This creates an interesting springboard for character development and the way the kids see and perceive the things happening around them, mostly because any development that happens is going to be extreme. Otherwise they die (see: Ron). This is most apparent with Carl (obviously), because he’s the main kid of the series. Moments like when he killed Ben when none of the adults would, solely because he deemed it necessary given what Ben had done are really pivotal to his character, and I think say a lot about the person he was becoming. Same with when he went after Negan, on his own. Anyways, what I’m trying to get at here is that all the kids who were directly exposed to the apocalypse are malleable. There’s an infinite number of directions their characters could take, and I relish in the possibilities. anyways that was my rant, go read the walking dead comics guys!!

you don’t remember what she looks like?
