my question is do you have any random stories about rosie and daryl? like arguing each other or comforting each other etc…i lovee them and i would love to know more about their relationship i think they’re really cool father daughter duo.

aaah!! you're so sweet! thank you sm for reading <3

i don't have any stories written out right now, but i do have some daryl & rosie fun facts!! so here they are!

• daryl once took rosie to that museum he said he would take her to at the beginning of s9! i need to write an atu chapter of this happening because i promise it did happen!

daryl and rosie's little tent-ish thing in the woods had a corner dedicated to the Rock Pile. rosie was the type of kid to find rocks she liked and bring them to daryl to show him. he didn't know what to do with them, thus the Rock Pile.

rosie's red cowboy boots are tucked away in daryl's closet at his house in the commonwealth.

he also bought depeche mode's "violator" on vinyl so he could finally listen to the song rosie was talking about during that car ride to the cdc. he cried listening to it.

sometimes when rosie got real bored out in the woods, she would pretend to be a talk show host interviewing daryl and he would just have to go along with it, or else she would get all grumpy.

whenever daryl went out on runs, in the alexandria and sanctuary era (s6-ish through s9.5), he would keep an eye out for any little things that rosie might want. dinosaur toys, weird little figurines, art supplies, etc. anything she might like. every time he went out on a run, he would bring her back something.

enid taught rosie how to play concentration 64 once, and then she forced daryl to play it every single day at dinner time.

whenever daryl was in a bad mood, rosie would pull him out of it by stealing his vest and pretending to be him. it worked nearly every single time.

and what if i said

Ruthie poo!!!

1. Ruth does like Dustin!! She loves all the kids like they are her own brothers. She has a special fondness for Dustin because he is such a silly little nerd and she appreciates that. When Lucas is being annoying she gives all her pocket change to Dustin instead of Lucas for the arcade :p

2. I'm afraid Ruth wouldn't like labubus 😭 she'd be against the types of things that go viral on tiktok, get bought like crazy, then get made fun of a month later. She wouldn't judge other people for liking those things but she wouldn't participate because it would stress her out LMAO

3. In a modern au i think she'd use the Disney+ / Hulu combo the most but she'd probably just use totally completely definitely legal websites to watch movies if Disney and Hulu didn't have what she wanted

4. Thank you!!!?!?!??? Ruth loves you too 🫶

5. She would absolutely love Wonder!! Ruth is an avid reader and especially enjoys books about being kind :)

Oooo omg this is such a fun question 😋😋

I imagine little Rosie as dressing like a little 2000s boy would, since most of her clothes were hand-me-downs from Fraser. In the summer, she wears boys knee-length shorts mostly because that's what she's used to and comfortable with, but she'll wear shorter girls shorts too. She's no too picky about it as long as it's not tight or itchy or anything like that. For shirts, she just wears whatever t-shirts she can find. In the winter i like to imagine her wearing a long sleeve, a t-shirt over that, a hoodie over that, and a too-big jacket over that, looking like she's made more out of clothes than she is out of human. Daryl keeps her bundled up of course. She also probably took Carl's hand-me-downs. As for shoes, she wears her red cowboy boots until they get to Alexandria, which is when she gets a new pair of converse. Here are some pics of the types of things I'm imagining little rosie in (ignore that some of these are adults—imagine kids sizes 😭) ⬇️

Older Rosie, I imagine dressing a little more like her fc (natalie from Yellowjackets) but not entirely. I think she'd wear lots of cargo pants (practical but also cool af) and shirts she finds in stories, and some given to her from other people as well. And of course her leather jacket!! For shoes she wears purple converse at this point i believe?? Or blue ones? i think purple. But she'd also wear some cool boots I think. Just like the line between practical and her personal fashion taste?? Idk how to describe the way i imagine her dressing so here's some stuff from Pinterest ⬇️

Okay now oc's fav colors!!

Rosie: green!

Juni: pink and yellow

Mazzy: dark red

Warren: blue

Ruth: pink

Ivory: black (and purple)

Cori: hates every color (secretly loves obnoxiously bright pink)

Eli: red and purple

hello anonymous! lucky for you i have lots of devastating details about my ocs that i haven't been able to share

in season two of future ghosts, rosie once offhandedly mentioned that she was 40 something pounds, which wasn't true. if she was 40 pounds as a nine year old, she would be very extremely underweight, and although rosie was exceptionally scrawny, she was not that underweight. she thought she was 40 pounds because she hadn't been to the doctor since she was 40 pounds, which was when she 5/6 years old ...

despite juni's friendly demeanor, she did not really have any friends growing up. kids thought she was odd, and when she did make a friend, they eventually drifted apart because juni couldn't hang out outside of school. kids' parents wouldn't allow their kids to go to the dixons' house, and daryl didn't trust anyone enough to leave juni alone at their house.

mazzy sometimes gets nightmares about her mom, but she doesn't consciously remember much about her mom at all, so she doesn't even realize that it's her mom who is in those nightmares. to her, it's just some woman she doesn't fully recognize.

warren spent the first seven years of his life almost entirely alone. he was rarely allowed to see his papa. most of the interaction he had was with guards and scientists who tormented him and experimented on him. the first time he met a kid his own age, he had to kill the kid. he left hydra with literally no social experience.

ruth's dad died when she was four and she doesn't find out the truth about how he died until she's sixteen.

cori has eye bags because of how many times she wakes up in the middle of the night crying for her mama. she loses her voice often, too, because of how much screaming she does, whether it's calling for her mom or shouting at clint or just screaming to scream.

ivory can't stand to hold her phone half the time because some part of her still expects her dad to send her a text asking what movie she wants to watch that night.

i am not well versed in conspiracy theories so take this with a grain of salt 😟

rosie: aliens. rosie believes wholeheartedly that aliens exist. she doesn't need proof

juni: bigfoot is real. out of pure hope. she wants to hug the guy

warren: the government killed jfk..... not that he doesn't have proof. the kid's dad is the winter soldier

mazzy: titanic didn't sink. "dad, one iceberg? the unsinkable ship was sunk by a little iceberg?" "MAZZY, 1500 PEOPLE DIED. ITS REAL"

ruth: sirens are responsible for most shipwrecks

ivory: amelia earhart was eaten by grabs. also the illuminati is real

you wrote that when she was dying all she wanted was to live, would that feeling have lasted??

thanks!!!

(also, sorry if im interpreting something wrong. anywhoo, i really like you writing.)

buckle up people. this is a heavy (and great) question. tw !! proceed with caution

if rosie had survived what happened to her, it wouldn't have put an end to her struggle with suicidal thoughts.

in a universe in which rosie survived the shot; despite the fact that in those moments, when rosie thought she was going to die, she thought she wanted to live more than ever, she would still have had those feelings of wishing that it had killed her after the fact.

mental health issues ran rampant in rosie's genetics. david was clearly unstable—we just didn't feel bad for him about it because he forced others to be victims of his instability rather than taking it on himself or getting help. allison (rosie and fraser's mom, for all those who haven't read lbig, which i need to start working on again) grappled with depression nonstop. fraser had his first suicidal thought when he was seven. all this goes to say that the fact that rosie had trouble with her mental health was inevitable, and the things that she went through only made it worse.

more than anything, rosie would miss fraser, and she would always have that nagging thought in the back of her head that she could see him in only a second if she just—

and knowing the feeling of being on the edge of death wouldn't have changed that about her.

so! final answer: the feeling would not have lasted. even after a near death experience, rosie would still have her ups and her downs. sometimes, she would feel love of life pulsing through her veins—when daryl would give her a hidden but proud smile, watching her precise aim using his crossbow, when lydia would press her lips against rosie's in that gentle and hesitant way that asked 'is this okay?' because neither of them really knew what they were doing, when ian would do anything in the world to cheer her up because he was her best friend—and other times, guilt and regret and anger and hatred and grief, grief, grief would eat her up inside until she wanted to sleep forever. because that's just what it was to be rosie dixon. a frantic and panicked moment of 'i want to live!' wouldn't take that out of her for good.
