Thanks so much! 💗 This question really made me think cuz it's true there was that switch in his attitude. I feel like when Michonne was standing in between walkers at the prison fence, it looked like that could quickly turn into a life-threatening situation for her, and Carl didn't want to stand by and just let someone potentially die. But then once she's let inside, and especially when she isn't quick to divulge much about herself, I think Carl started to feel more skeptical and guarded as he was reminded that Michonne is a stranger and strangers can wreak havoc or be untrustworthy, like the prisoner Andrew had just recently been.

Plus, I always note that in Clear, Carl seems peeved to learn from Rick that Michonne left them briefly while they were at Woodbury. So I think his attitude also stemmed from wondering if Michonne is really with them and on their side. That's why the events of the Clear episode are so perfect, because Michonne organically showed him who she is and where she stands. And I love that after just one outing with her, Carl could then sense and express that Michonne was one of them. 🥰

What's the one thing someone has commented on one of your fics that has altered your brain chemistry (and possibly destroyed many neurons)?

I'll go first: A Reader who is very dear to me (*whispers* @dancerinthestorm 👀) woke up , chose destruction and commented that the ring Gil-galad and my OC exchanged in my fic "Old Friends" was a ring he had bought the day she left Lindon without saying goodbye, so he'd decided to wear it on his own finger in quiet hope that she would maybe, one day return—so he could place it onto hers.

Making it about a million times more romantic and tragic than it already was 🥹

When I'm washing dishes or studying (or simply breathing in the confines of my apartment) and I think about it, I still fall to my knees to this very day (and will continue to) 😃

no pressure tags (but It'd be hilarious to know):
