Headcanons about Ricky pt II

Not as physically strong as he wanted to be. Rick is fit, he gets very high adrenaline, he can be aggressive and very fast and brutal, but he simply doesn't have the muscular mass other guys like Abraham and Daryl do, he's not heavy, he's not very big, he can be rolled over or dominated by stronger guys if he isn't very careful, his body is muscular but quite thin. His punches and bursts of energy are extremely hard to contain and he's deadly most of the times, but almost every fight that turns into struggle or weight / brute force / resistance battle, he tends to suffer a lot or just lose it. He seeks to compensate that with his wits, strategies, combat intelligence, small blades he can pierce vital spots with and weapons that don't require too much physical capacity to be used effectively, like he swaps a machete for a hatchet, since the hatchet due to weight distribution is easier to swing and requires less muscle to be effective in combat, being able to use it for longer as well.

2. He is very VERY reserved and would hate to be in any situation when he's exposed or vulnerable in front of others. He feels uncomfortable when he's shirtless or tied or when people stare him too much for whatever reason, even though he pretends he doesn't mind and acts strong. He doesn't like teasing from strangers, he's not a womanizer and feels quite annoyed and even attacked when people approach him with with flirting or cat calling etc, unless he already has some level of mutual relationship with the person. Even if he does, he would rather not be teased in front of others.

3. Rick often is hit with surprise and frustration when he sees how emotions tend to force a strong bias onto his logical and moral arguments / rationing. He wants to be morally right, he wants to be the hero, he wants to be the logically correct one, but sometimes he distorts all the logic and morals to justify raw emotion based actions, as example, if by rule Rick was being merciless towards enemies, if one of them happened to be an old friend, he would act differently and try to find a logical or moral excuse instead of just admitting he is emotionally tied to that old friend, even if the old friend doesn't care or remember Rick anymore.

1. Rick didn't develop the killer cruel almost psycho nature he showed after the end of the world from nothing. That instinct was always in him, dormant. As a sheriff deputy he has killed before the outbreak. There are spefic types of people he simply hates and he has felt the pleasure to kill a few times, even if he doesn't approve that as moral or good / correct. While naturally he would hesitate to kill anyone, after the outbreak he didn't hesitate to take the life of people that followed a specific profile. People who harmed and were a threat to his group obviously, but also people who were abusers, including sociopaths, corrupted cops who enslaved people and some Saviors (that weren't armed and didn't mean a threat anymore.). He struggled to accept that part of him, but according to the series extras, Rick accepted that darker self in the episode "A" when he kills Joe by biting his throat off.

Headcanons about Ricky

1) His middle name showed as "D." in the props extras from the series actually is Daniel, because it's one of the most common names in the USA.

2) Rick loves art, he can draw and does it as hobby, but just as many other things about him, he is very reserved. He probably also can play the guitar and do other little things he never mentions about. He was drawing something when Negan was in the cell and he drew Michonne on a phone screen (canon).

3) He loves reading novels and he often does it in private or when he is alone. Before meeting the Claimers, Rick grabbed one to read when he was resting on the bed (canon). He secrely might snatch novels and small books he finds into his bag to read in private times.

Rick's very thankful for having his parents in his life. He had a good relationship with them. They were very strict in certain aspects such as respect, discipline and hard work, they were caring, taught him empathy, honor and compassion, offered him support and stimulated his interests, allowing him to make his own decisions and explore the world despite being protective parents. All that allowed Rick to develop empathy, make him sociable and easy to deal with as well as become a great leader and be smarter than average people. Rick isn't a genius, but definitely he's brilliant, thinks out of the box, has creative solutions to problems and is great at reading emotions and having discipline. He was allowed to read all sorts of books, watch all sorts of movies and listen to all sorts of songs, with the education of honor and respect, Rick came to experience the story and problems of many people, what made him very open minded since early. Because he came from such a caring, supporting family, Rick tends to always expect the best from people and act on good will, trusting others (until the apocalypse fucks him enough at least). Despite being an introvert, he loves gathering people and spending warm moments together, as he had such good experienced with his family, one of his dreams was to have a family of his own so he could give his kids all the love his parents gave him. His grandfather fought in the war, many of his stories inspired Rick, specially in the sense of deeper matters, such as the meaning of life, concepts of justice and philosophical questions. Family probably descends from Irish or British due to his surname "Grimes". Because he was always stimulated and encouraged, Rick doesn't have self trust issues and can be very convincing and charismatic when he needs. He grew up as someone who sees the world with optimism, he hates conflict, he hates arguing and because he grew up with respect, he always respects people's emotional and personal spaces, he avoids being intrusive and because of his strong sense of justice, he isn't malicious and feels repelled by it. He takes respect very seriously, because of that, he's very reserved and dislikes people who are intrusive, dislikes being hit on or flirted on by people he doesn't have intimacy with.

Rick's favorite color seems to be blue. He often chooses to wear different shades of blue, cyan and gray along the series when he had the option to properly choose his clothes, like in Alexandria. It also fits his calm personality.

Since Rick seems to be open minded, he probably likes many different types of songs and is willing to listen to new ones. Considering his age, he probably likes the classics of the 80's and 90's, such as Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, etc. In the series I remember seeing him listening to classic country music, so he must love those too. I think he would enjoy almost anything as long as he doesn't find the song too annoying or too loud. He loves reading novels and he draws, so Rick seems to have a special bond with art, which possibly makes him very open hearted about music in general.

As for hobbies, Rick seems to enjoy reading novels, specially when he's alone, relaxing. Maybe he even hides that soft side from most people or keeps it very reserved. Definitely, he's a reader, he's also smart above average. He can draw (he drew Michonne on a phone and was painting something when Negan was behind bars). I bet Rick also can play the guitar a bit but I think he just wasn't feeling in the mood during the series. In the apocalyptic world, he seems to enjoy organizing and managing things, planning and improving the place he lives, growing crops and having contact with nature seems to do him well too. Despite being an introvert, he seems to love spending time with loved ones and also simply...date and spend sweet moments with his crush. In the episode "Say Yes", Rick and Michonne go out on a mission together, just them, and they live their little honeymoon. Rick seemed to be enjoying every second of it, never wanting it to end. It's one of my favorite episodes. And as a nature lover, I could see Rick just sitting on the shore to listen to the waves and appreciate the stars to relax.

When Rick falls for someone, he starts having a butterfly feeling in his stomach, the feeling of excitement and anticipation when he's around that person or when he thinks about them. He starts wanting to spend as much time possible with them and finds himself thinking about the person most of the time. He starts seeing the person he fell for in a different light as well, everything they do starts having a spark to it and Rick starts noticing little things about the person he hadn't noticed before. The person's words hit different and Ricky will try to make them laugh and smile. The person's flaws will start to sound endearing and he would love to be with them no matter what- BEING with them meaning spending moments together, being relevant parts of each other's life, sharing happiness and bonding. He will also provide everything the person needs, specially if they can't on their own- and specially food. And weapons. He will find many weapons.

He also might want to kill the person's husband, specially if it's an abuser. (just joking, no not really joking. Sorry Jessie.) If someone abuses of hurts the person, he might go on a hunting killing spree for revenge / justice btw)

Mostly physical touch. He shows love and affection through hugs, kisses, hand holding, nuzzles, little forehead bumps against the person's body, cuddling... When he's with someone he loves he wants to be close to them both physically and emotionally. He likes to receive love in the same way. Rick also likes to use words of affirmation and make sure the person knows he appreciates and cares about them, he wants to make the person he likes feel loved and valued. Includes holding hands when walking together (he's fine to do it in public), cuddle when watching a movie or reading, soft forehead and cheek kisses (forehead kisses specially after a long day), tummy kisses, shoulder kisses, little love bites, getting their favorite dessert, and if you're intimate enough to read novels together and talk about it, he might be hunting your favorite books for you, showing you his drawings and being a fanboy about the stories he likes (absolute supreme intimacy level). He will also feel safe to cry around the person and allow himself to be vulnerable (expecting supporting cuddles and hugs). In harsh dangerous and extreme situations, he will be risking his life and also lying to others and killing in the coldest ways to protect the loved one. He's not a mostly sex driven guy, so while he might love to do it with the person he loves, he's definitely more into cuddles and cute love language most of the time. Despite the atrocities he made, his soul is actually kind and honorable, he isn't malicious and Rick letting the ones he loves know they can lower their guard down completely around him also applies as love language. He will get very pissed if he catches anyone being malicious (in any way really) near those he loves. As for passive, he likes to receive the above actions back, plus, he loves having his hair curls being played with and absolutely melts at beard scratches. Being slapped, poked and pinched by surprise or having his sides grabbed or being pinned down will annoy him a lot if he's not very intimate with the person. By the other hand, hugs and shoulder hugs / being leaned against make him feel sheltered. I could write more but let's leave for a part 2, eventually :>
