STILL NOT BITTEN.

chilling in the tags and people are starting to think it’s cool to ‘not be scared of Lilly’ like. no. in that situation you would be scared. you would be terrified. you absolutely would be. it’s not a fun character trait  ——  it’s literally that Clementine has something wrong with her BRAIN. either physically, or mentally. definitely mentally, somewhere. i have so many posts about headcanons about her mental health, somewhere. i’ll post something about it soon.

Clementine is incredibly strong and has survived through near-impossible odds, both mentally and physically, sure. Almost everyone in that whole group has. And yet there is a reason every single one of them is breaking down and Clementine can look this SHE-DEVIL in the face and TORMENT her. there is bravery, and then there is that. Before all this, and even now, Clementine is extremely strong, and fighting, but things still affect her deeply. Either killing Lee or leaving him to die? You saw it. After everything she's experienced? She was terrified. She struggled with keeping it inside. It is a definitive shift from that episode onwards, and she is not ALL THERE.
