So I was rewatchting TWD and oh my gawds, the detail in this show is phenomenal. 

We all know Daryl’s domestic life before the apocalypse was absolute shit, and this scene incorporates that into the real world so effortlessly. Daryl is the only person in this shot who flinches when Rick throws the can. Notice how he studies Rick afterwards, like he was coming back to Earth after being shocked and assessing how he should react. 

Flinching at loud noises is a tell-tale sign of someone with past abuse trauma, and in this shot, Daryl does that. It’s such a brilliant way to show that Daryl’s been abused without making him paranoid and jumpy, or objectifying his abuse or bringing him out of character. He’s startled for a second but no one in the real world would think twice about it right? Because Rick just suddenly threw the can and he was unprepared. It’s normal to jump when one is caught off guard. 

THAT BEING SAID

Maggie didn’t flinch and neither did Glenn, and they’re even closer to the cans impact sight. They were closer to possible danger than Daryl (Not to say the can is danger, but the human brain categorizes loud sudden noises as danger)

what 17 year old me is doing:

“my cheeks turned pink in embarrassment” → “my cheeks heated in embarrassment”

“his hand ran through my hair” → “his hand ran over my head/hair”

“her bright pink pussy” → literally anything else

stop using mood boards of only white couples/children (heavy on this one)

using children names like eveleigh ann (do i need to explain..)

her hair was put in a messy bun/her long silky hair…

Respectfully, I know it’s just fanfiction, but if you’re going to write reader insert fics then do the bare minimum of making sure it’s actually inclusive and not white coded. Many of us shouldn’t read an x reader fic and imagine a white woman every single time. Stop taking criticism from bipocs, saying your writing is not inclusive, as hate. Let go of the mindset that having a bipoc in your writing means they have to go through some racial struggle or you must talk about their culture (a lot of bipocs don’t know their culture/where they came from). It shouldn’t make you uncomfortable to write them in your stories, we’re normal people too. If it does maybe a reflection is meant to be had. Like i said, it’s just fanfiction and it’s supposed to be fun, but some of y’all are purposefully exclusive and still tag your writing wrong.
