rewatching s3 and rick has been depressed the entire fucking season and the first time you see him crack a joke it's with michonne???? yep she has always brought the light in him
this scene is sooo important cause he really thought she would think less of him, and she reminded him that even if they disagreed, it didn't matter cause she's gonna stick by him no matter what! and he never got this kinda love so he's so shocked which is heartbreaking??
so rick just randomly saw the cat sculpture michonne brought back in her cell one day and it stuck with him that this was the only thing she decorated her cell with, so when he saw another cat sculpture he just HAD to get it for her?????????????? how did mich find this man
we don't talk enough about this scene cause they really were discussing who was gonna go and who was gonna take care of the kids like an actual married couple and they still didn't get together for another season 😭
danai was so real when she said andy was always full of adrenaline cause what is he getting ready for lmao those scenes in those clothes weren't action packed at all 😭😭 i love him
i love how rick trusts michonne so blindly to take care of carl and once again, this shows just how much rick and michonne were partners and parenting TOGETHER long before they got canon
i can never look at this gif again without thinking of that person who thought this was a clip of richonne and not dandy bc they looked sm like a couple 💀
i will genuinely never stop being so thankful to andy and danai for loving their characters and their relationship as much as we do and actually taking control so that they can have the story they deserve (+a special thanks to my boy gimple who saw the vision)
michonne being so suspicious of the governor/woodbury even though she was supposedly free and could 'leave' whenever vs her being much less hostile and more trusting when she's at the prison even though she's locked up THIS WOMAN HAS THE BEST INSTINCTS AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG
andy didn't like how little of richonne was shown in the main show so he took matters into his own hands and said lets make whole movies just about us 🫶
‘It was always planned that I’d do [the movies] w/ [Andy] though it wasn’t announced. It was always the strategy he had before he left. So when I did start negotiating out of the show that was a part of it.’ ‘The love story idea came from Andy a long time ago.’ - Danai Gurira
the unbreakable bond between you and that one fictional character you will always come back to no matter what other media you consume and how many other characters you love
saying this in the middle of the apocalypse, after having gone through and having lost so much is crazy 😭 no man has ever loved a woman like rick grimes loves michonne grimes !!!
