#YOOOO ITS HEREEEE

[agirlinhell-a]

Like this post if you are interested in exploring a potential romantic or intimate relationship between Clementine and your muse! Clem has a very long history - she’s had crushes but she’s never permanently settled down with anyone. Friendships are as equally pleasant, so even should your character not become romantically or intimately involved with Clementine, there’s a chance that they may be her friend. She also has no preference specifically, like race, gender, etc. Doesn’t really matter. Though, I’d HIGHLY appreciate canon characters in her age group being thrown her way, but original characters and crossover characters from other fandoms are welcome, too! Keep in mind that shipping with Clementine doesn’t necessarily have to be in The Walking Dead universe, either, it could be in another verse as well, like an alternate universe or a crossover. There are many possibilities.

We don’t have to have interacted before but I do want us to be friends and for us to have talked. However, we must have enough interaction for me to get a feel for Clem’s feelings towards your muse before shipping should be discussed (unless if this has already been stated in canon). I prefer to ship chemistry over anything else. Please keep in mind that Clementine is NOT an easy person to ship with considering all of her traumatic experiences. Note that I am multiship and therefore, it’s not considered “cheating” because these characters, unless stated otherwise, will have a separate verse, and none of these, unless if they’re canonically in a relationship with her, affect her current default storyline. Do not, and I repeat DO NOT force a ship on me. If you want to ship with me, talk to me, but don’t assume I will ship with your character just because you want to. If I do not give my clear consent to ship with you and your muse, or even have a one sided ship, then do not force Clementine into a ship with yours. On the matter of shipping, I will not ship Clementine with anyone above or below her age group or anything incestuous, and it’s highly unlikely I’ll be roleplaying toxic ships or polygamous ships unless if it’s a really good ship. Clementine is demibiromantic and demibisexual - she swings both ways and she doesn’t have a preference. She won’t get intimate with anyone unless if she’s eighteen and up. What is worthy of note is that being in a relationship with Clementine won’t always be easy or sunshine, cupcakes and rainbows, given her dark and traumatic past and the tragic effects it has on her. Your muse’ll have to be there for her in her darkest hours and take care of her when she needs it most, especially since she has a lot of mental disorders, but it’s quite worth it in the end, if your muse is with her until the end, your muse will have an 100% loyal companion and lover in Clementine.

Clem had a horrible experience with the last person she got romantically involved with - and even then, it wasn’t exactly a romantic relationship either but they had just began when he either died or she had left him behind to pursue AJ. She refuses to talk about it, and sometimes even tries to deny it ever happened if the pain in her heart becomes too much. However, now she doesn’t trust people that she doesn’t know getting close to her, will get downright internally terrified if someone does try break the walls down, and for the most part she’s scared to be in another relationship - she thinks it’ll turn out similar to what happened last time.

To win Clementine’s heart, you have to show her a massive amount of kindness, patience and acceptance. This isn’t easy, as she’ll probably try to make a wall between the other and herself. Clem, for the most part, isn’t going to let just anyone get that close to her without them proving they are there to stay. Clem also doesn’t think she’s good enough for these things so your muse would have to convince her otherwise first. However, if you do manage to break down these walls successfully, encouraging her/making her feel better about herself, or giving her compliments is definitely a road to success. That will lift her spirits and make her much more confident. Just be a fantastic human being, but be yourself. For the most part, Clementine thinks almost everyone is horrible in some way, so bashing that idea to pieces will amaze her. It can be as simple as offering to help her out with something no one seems to care for but her, i.e taking care of AJ, helping her set up her room and doing things with her.

Clementine isn’t searching for love in the first place, considering she has her adopted brother/son to take care of because she thinks there are more important things in life to her, like the protection of her loved ones. One thing she looks for in a partner is honesty, if her partner is not willing to be honest with her and decides to hide things from her, it is most likely that she will find out and throw out the idea of even considering them for a partner.

Another is a good sense of humor, she may not look like it, but she likes a good laugh once in a while, especially in the moments where she’s feeling rather silly, and if her own jokes are met with seriousness and no humor at all, it’s most likely she may not want to open up to them anymore.

Being an intellectual herself, she also wants to be with someone whom she can share an intelligent conversation with in pretty much anything related to “the old world”, and if anyone can do this, you will certainly have her attention. If one can’t keep up with her, she would most likely grow disinterested and turn her attention elsewhere.

She also wants to be with someone who both respects and love nature and the animals that dwell within it. She would like the company of someone to take long walks with through the forests  and admire the scenery and watch the animals in their natural habitats. If someone disrespects it for any reason, she would most certainly not show you any sort of respect either.

Kindness is another thing she looks for in a partner. Although Clementine herself doesn’t seem to show it, she certainly appreciates it whenever someone else shows random acts of kindness, whether it be to her or to anyone else. If your muse is rude and disrespectful, they will most likely be met with the same attitude, but twice fold. Someone who can bring her out of her shell a little bit, since she’s a quiet person, someone who can make her laugh, also someone that she can be vulnerable around, be comfortable opening up to and have it understood, someone who she can talk nonsense with into the late hours, confidence is also scoring major brownie points with her, as long as it doesn’t become arrogance. Independence, creativity, focused on the task, compassionate, kind, selfless, stands up for themselves and the people they care about, someone who can love her and accept her for who she is despite everything she’s been through, someone who can hold her hand while she heals herself.

She likes/tends to go for the mysterious, those who don’t take anyone’s shit, feisty, can stand up for themselves and those they love, but isn’t over the top and likes a lot of attention and can be happy just sitting by themselves with a book, but who can be soft and laugh with her at the same time. She’s also attracted to people that can tease her and go with the flow since she can be a little serious and finds it hard to relax sometimes, who have a lot of energy, and she loves the nerdy ones who like playing videogames or card games, and the musically inclined, whether it be singing or playing an instrument - that’s a big bonus.

Concerning her demisexuality, she wants that emotional attachment before she even thinks of engaging in any physical activity with her partner. She wants an emotional attachment because for so long she has had to hide her emotions… She wants to be with someone who she can finally break loose and show the woman she truly is underneath and trust completely with her heart. If she ever were to have children in the future, be it biological or adopted, she’d have at least one, two at most. She already has AJ to take care of and he’s not exactly easy.

However, if her partner tries to push her for intimate activity of any kind without any regards to her feelings, she would lose both interest and respect for said person and would most likely leave them. Then, she’s gone.

Pros & Cons of being with Clementine:

Pros:

Even though she doesn’t appear to be, Clementine is one of the cheesiest girls when it comes to romance. She doesn’t mind taking the initiative and being one to plan cute dates. She’s all about candle lit dinners, making you sweets and desserts when she has the time, picnics on the beach, getting icecream or staying in with takeout - especially pizza - watching TV, going to the movies, stargazing on the rooftops with blankets wrapped around you and her, taking walks along the beach and in the woods holding your hand, winning a stuffed animal for you at the local carnival, sharing food with you, doing Vines and memes with you, cuddling up on the couch by a fireplace, doing mistletoe kisses, writing you poetry, songs and love letters about how she feels about you. Expect lots of cuddles and kisses, her playing with your hair, her drawing and painting pictures for you and listening to music together while she sings you to sleep or dances with you. She has this scrapbook and so many pictures of your muse’ll be in there.

In the colder seasons, such as autumn and winter, she tends to lean more to clothing with furs on and inside them if she manages to acquire them. Some of the outfits she wears consists of her own homemade outfits of animal furs she had skinned herself. She might just make a winter outfit for her partner.

-This can be a pro just as much as it can be a con, but AJ will also be a part of your muse’s life in a big role. Not only will he like you, but he’ll also protect you, as you are also important to Clementine, who is the most important person in the world to him. He’s a good kid, he just needs to learn more about morality - he’s still growing up.

She’ll have your muse’s back 100% and would kill for your muse. Clementine makes a good waifu and ninja.

-You’ll have a badass survivor for a girlfriend.

Cons:

Clem has a really dark and brutal past - she’s been through a lot of traumatizing things that no one should have to ever endure. It certainly won’t be easy being in a relationship with her.

Clem has a lot of mental disorders and suffers from depression, survivor's guilt, PTSD, anxiety, abandonment issues, suffers with hallucinatory episodes from time to time, claustrophobia, aquaphobia, she is an insomniac and has sociopathic tendencies, as well as having heightened senses. She’s got a lot of issues.

Along with her dark past, she’s also quite certain that there are people from her past who would want her dead. In doing so, this could mean that she - and anyone else she is close with - would be a target to these people.

Horrible, horrible nightmares that make her awaken in the night and gasp for air.

This can be a con just as much as a pro, but AJ can be quite a handful.
