pokemon ask game ! for glenn and maggie : wailord, chatot, ditto, luvdisc!!

@selfshipstorm I need you to understand how delighted I am both this ask and the last you sent were for my TWD loves >w<

-Me: 5'3 or 5'4 (I can never remember which exactly 😅)

•Wailord - Who’s taller, you or your F/O? What’s the height difference?

-Glenn: 5'9

-Maggie: 5'7

I'm the shortest of our trio and these two-mainly Glenn when he wants to be a little shit-like to hold it over my head...No pun intended. 😂

•Chatot - Give me a song that sums up your self ship!

I'm a sap and that's all that needs to be said; next slide. 😂💜

So, we're gonna ignore the source media takes place in a Zombie Wasteland for a moment cause the first thing that comes to mind to distinguish us is texing/messaging styles.

•Ditto - If someone tried to impersonate you or your F/O, how would you distinguish the two?

-Me: Idk what it is, but I do not like to shorthand stuff unless I'm in a major hurry; I'd rather write "one" over "1" or "I don't know" over "idk." Stuff like that. Also, as you may be able to gather through my posts, I use a lot of emojis...Like. A lot. So any text these two may recieve from "me" that is full of shorthand and/or not dotted with a thousand emojis may tip them off.

-Glenn: OPPOSITE OF ME. High energy and he's usually pretty busy, especially with his job-delivery boy always going and going. So if he sends anything that can be shortened that isn't, me and Maggie are immediately asking "...Is that him?"

-Maggie: Her's is actually...Simple and sweet? She's not the biggest on PDA, but behind closed doors-and in private chats-she is super affectionate...And big on pet names. ("Love," "Darling," "Honey," ect.) SO. Seeing even one text from her that doesn't call at least one of us by some sweet nickname has me and Glenn basically turning into the Caveman Spongebob meme and "Who are you and what have you done with our girlfriend-"

(I put this one last cause I knew it was gonna be the longest answer 😅)

•Luvdisc - Who fell in love with whom first?

The short answer is I fell for Maggie first and then Glenn.

Glenn fell for her first and then both of them kinda realized "We like Fox." at the same time.

THE LONG ANSWER?

I arrived at the farm a few days before Glenn and the Atlanta crew and was imediately fucking smitten with the eldest Greene daughter. However, not gonna lie, I did some heavy assumptions and sterotyping and just kinda assumed "Yeah. Downhome southern girl. Probably not interested in another girl and family probably wouldn't care much for it either." So, I bite my tongue, content to have a tenative new friend. (Quick spoiler: At the end of all this, Beth is super supportive and Hershel is the defination of "Little confused but he's got the spirit.")

In enters the Atlanta survivors; me and Glenn befriend each other real damn fast. What are the chances of meeting a fellow nerd your age out in the wild in the current hellscape? And if I start to develop a crush...Well, that's my business. 😂 But, when I notice Glenn starting to take an intrest in Maggie, I kinda shy away a little from making a move. When they actually start messing around with each other and developing their relationship, I completely step back.

A little bit down the line, after the big reveal of what's in the barn and after they've started to stablize their relationship, unknown to my oblivious ass these two have a discussion about boundaries and all that important couple stuff, and the topic of "Hey...We both have feelings for our mutal friend." somehow comes up.

Meanwhile. I'm over here off to the side just. "👉🏻👈🏻 They're both really cute and cool, but they're my friends and I don't wanna fuck up our friendship and they seem to already be together and I don't wanna throw a wrench in that and *insert a long ass stream of anxious rambling here.*"

There's a fic-length explanation to what happens next that I should really write one day, but the tl;dr is they basically approach me when I look like like I'm feeling pretty calm and just "So...How do you feel about a polycule?"

#self ship #ask game #thank you for the ask!! #ship: zombie love song #REAL TALK #ONE OF MY FAVE SHIPS TO GUSH ABOUT >u<

[yessoupy]

i recorded an audio file of me talking about the walking dead because i listened to @imetyouonljpodcast‘s episode from today about zombies and i just had so many things? i wanted to say? to @phrasesandmeter and @glycerineclown? but then the file was too big for tumblr and so i cut it down a bunch and it was still too big so i gave up. lol.

anyway i love this show even though i hate it. seasons 1-4 are straight fire; season 5 has some great moments and some annoying ones; season 6 is also kind of a crapshoot but RICHONNE and JESUS!!!; season 7 is fucking sad and i basically hate it for those reasons BUT upon my first re-watch of most of it i did appreciate it more; season 8 is too fucking slow (i think the whole 16 episodes take place over a few days??????) and its only saving graces are baby gracie and jesus’ hair (WHAT is morgan doing); season 9 is when i was resigned to being intensely disappointed BUT THEN there were some great episodes on the front half before THEY KILLED JESUS (who is alive and well at the end of the comics with his boyfriend aaron) and the back half was just .... ugh anxiety-ridden and then after the finale i just felt hollowed out?; front half of season 10 i wallowed through and then in the BACK half it got GREAT again and knowing how the comics end and that they’ve introduced elements of the last big arc i think! i can! finally finish the show!!! below the cut is my more direct commentary about things brought up in the episode so don’t read unless you’ve listened!!

okay SO it was super interesting to hear y’all talk about daryl like you had to be careful around him. idk if it’s because i’ve read so much fic OR listened to norman talk about the character so much, but the impression i have from that (that isn’t jossed by the show), is that once daryl got the corrupting influence of merle out of his life, he was finally able to start being the person he’d always wanted to be but because he was a dixon society hadn’t ever let him be. the bike he rides with the SS was merle’s bike.

in season 4 (??? actually maybe 5) when they’re starting to reunite after fleeing the prison and rick takes down the claimer by biting out his jugular (...uh) and later on when he and daryl are kind of resting after all that trauma rick calls daryl his brother? that’s like the final point where we see that daryl really has found his place. he’s found his family. i do love daryl and his character’s growth.

ALSO! it was so interesting to hear y’all’s thoughts on TWD AUs and that you didn’t think you could get into them. i LOVE them, because it’s so interesting to try to think of the ways that these characters would be different if they DIDN’T meet in the apocalypse. my daryl/jesus longfic is a teacher au, and i spent so much time thinking about how daryl could get to a place where he could have a relationship with a man and it NOT be a coming out story. i basically landed on the idea of getting the corrupting influences out of his life as soon as i could and! he got to be a real person. ANYWAY i was thinking about making a reclist of stuff i loved during the pandemic and i read a LOT of rickyl so look for that. if you want. lol.

LOVE richonne. at the beginning of that episode (6x10, maybe my fave ep for fun reasons) rick and michonne and carl are very domestic and when it aired, since there’s a little time between 6x9 and 6x10 i thought they were ALREADY together? it was so nice seeing them smile at each other and like, exist in that house as a family. so then at the end when it finally DID happen i realized “oh, THIS is where it starts” and then i thought “omg yvette nicole brown is going to be SO. HAPPY.” also that is jesus’s debut episode and rick and daryl get a little roadtrip supply run that is just so nice.

another thing i love about richonne is that michonne was there from DAY ONE of judith’s life. she literally brought judith’s first meal to the prison (which she picked up when merle took maggie and glenn hostage). daryl fed judith her first meal, but michonne provided it. so to see their relationship in later seasons -- mama michonne!!!! -- ugh it’s so beautiful. 

re: the comics. if you think the violence/gore in the tv show is on the border of being too much, the comics WILL be too much for you. it’s black and white, but it doesn’t matter. everything is more violent, there is more rape, glenn’s death is somehow WORSE even though it’s the same .... but if you can handle that, or just do a good job of turning pages, it’s interesting to catalogue the differences between the comics and the show. there are 193 issues (last issue was july 3, 2019, it is DONE) and i think i have through 105 in google drive so hmu if you want access.
