- It’s bullshit. It’s bullshit. - Why dont you tell me why I stayed? - All right, you stayed at the ranch because you love me.

Like I was literally abt to dust off this blog and get back into posting abt the walking dead like I did YEARS ago but I’m sadly reminded of why I stopped watching the series altogether and I’m so sad
I haven’t watched fear the walking dead since the end of season 3 and I decided to start rewatching so I could catch up for the newest season. I genuinely LOVED rewatching the first 3 seasons this past week… and then I got to season 4. I just feel like killing off /THAT/ character was a stupid choice & I have absolutely no desire to watch anymore which kind of sucks because it was an amazing storyline. I also cant stop crying… a death hasn’t hit me this hard since glenn
fictional character discourse would be more fun if we all internalized the fact that characters are narrative tools, not people. once we have that basic fact down, we can start talking about what story the author is trying to tell using these characters, whether they’re successful, whether the story itself is successful and by what means we are measuring success—which are all really fun and interesting things to discuss! but we simply cannot get to that point unless we first accept that fictional characters simply do not have thoughts, feelings, opinions, or any agency on their own. a fictional character has more in common with the fictional chair theyre sitting on than with a real person
