Siddiq for the character thing!

(exclusively TV Siddiq because he’s too different from comic Siddiq to be considered remotely the same character)

-Favorite thing about him

He’s cute and soft af I love that, even if he’s obviously adapted enough to be able to survive, even being on his own for a long period of time, that hasn’t made him roughened and/or a bitter asshole in any degree the way the apocalypse has done with pretty much every character. He’s resourceful and smart and capable, but at no point he’s anything other than kind, caring and considerate. Maybe he had his own more turbulent times before he was introduced, but by the time we see him, he’s easily one of the best, most approachable characters in TWD.

-Least favorite thing about him

Look, I can deal with him being straight. I was never under any delusions AMC was gonna indulge in my homo!Siddiq fantasy. But god did it have to be that godawful love triangle trope. Did it. If you’re gonna be pairing up Rosita in nonsensical ways, at least make her be with Siddiq from the beginning instead of this cheating bullshit. From an in-character view rather than writing, it’s quite assholeish of him to pursue someone who isn’t single.

Also, I bitterly lament the fact that he’s one of my faves but he entered the show at a point in which it was already going downhill at an alarming speed. Basically he’s amazin’ and lovely but he’s stuck in a shit show.

-Favorite line

As I said with the Michonne one, I don’t pay much attention to individual lines, but I think I remember ‘He died honoring a woman he hadn’t even met’. More or less. I just really appreciated that whole scene, for Rick’s sake but also because Siddiq showed to genuinely, deeply respect Carl. Touched my dead heart.

Jadis, due to my headcanon in which they bonded over being the newcomers to Alexandria who didn’t quite fit in yet. I was really hoping they’d be friends in S9. I also think it’s very neat that he’s close to Michonne now, like siblings according to Avi. Wish that had come by before.

-OTP

You know this, but Rick, again because of my headcanons. HE HAD A CRUSH ON FUZZY DADDY RICK AND I’LL TAKE THAT HEADCANON TO MY GRAVE. I bet Rick was real fond of him too, once he got better from his mourning. You also know that I like to think about Siddiq tending to Negan immediately after the war and Negan developing a lowkey crush on his cute nurse who’s the only person who doesn’t personally hate the very thought of him because he arrived during the war and not before it.

-NOTP

Rosita. FUCKIN LOVE TRIANGLES FUCK YOU AMC

-Random headcanon

to be fucking honest, a very big deal of the Siddiq in my mind is built upon headcanons as much as canon Siddiq. I’m ignoring AMC completely at this point so I’ll stick with homosexual Siddiq. I also like thinking that since he was alone for a long time before joining Alexandria, his social skills are quite rusty and he comes across as kinda weird for a while before he gets used to human interaction again.

(also, he’s a BOTTOM. Like, he can top but he’s 80% bottom. He’s more flexible in power dynamics tho, so you might find dom!bottom!Siddiq every now and then ;) )

-Unpopular opinion

I’m not sure if he’s been even discussed enough for any opinion about him to be unpopular tbh, but I’ll go with the fact that I’m really glad he didn’t turn out to have a crush on Michonne? That would have been even more distasteful tbh. I’m glad they have a healthy friendship.

-Song I associate him with

Again, I’m not a musically driven person, so I rarely ever associate characters with music.

-Favorite picture of him

bitch I’m gay and Avi Nash is cute af
