Rick with Judith 🥹❤️🥹

The lovely and AMAZINGLY TALENTED @thisis-artyanna created this ASSUREDLY, FERVENTLY, LOUDLY Polin moment for me for the @polinsxcare4gaza fundraiser!!! 😍🥰

I provided her the prompt of the scene at the end of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton right before Colin announces Pen as Lady Whistledown... but with a few tweaks 😉 (if you know what it is, lmk heehee)

Anna, thank you so much for making the MOST AMAZING Polin fanart with my prompt. I literally teared up when I first saw it!!! 🥹😭

Enough about your misery.

so much of michonne’s suffering post-bridge was external. I think about when the bridge happened and how she was keeling over and wailing, of the physicality of childbirth, of how she was tortured while pregnant, of having to physically rebuild her body and recover from the effects of chlorine gas. and she had a community to get her through all of it, she had children to raise and a home she still lived in, but she had a lot happen to her!! and I think the phsyical act of the fight externalizes her response to the trauma: when she finds out rick is still alive she nearly chokes a guy out thinking he’s involved, she and nat shoot down a helicopter with an explosive as payback for killing their friends, and she lashes out (in understandable ways!) when rick isn’t acting like the man she knows and pushes her away. everything she has been through is expressed so outwardly.

for rick it’s different. what he’s been through is so internal and in his mind. even before the bridge he’s suffered from hallucinations under extreme emotional distress, he’s been conditioned into a constant state of both numbness and fear by the CRM, he dreams of michonne and carl only to have the memory of them taken from him, he’s ripped from his home and confined to a place he can’t escape, which are all… dare I say… forms of psychological torture?? the CRM never phsyically tortured him— they never had to. they only had to threaten his family if he ever tried to leave and brainwash him. the only physically violent act we see him really face is the scene with his hand, and I would argue cutting his own hand off was more of a psychological trauma than a physical one. this internalizes so much of rick’s response to his trauma because his mind is the thing under attack, not his body. so when all of this war is happening inside him, it’s not just enough for michonne to get angry and yell. she has to ask to be let in to what’s going on inside him first. she can’t quash this conditioning from the outside, he has to let her in emotionally, into that internal war, which he wasn’t doing.

My baby here on Earth showed me what my heart was worth So when it comes to be my turn, could you shine it down here for her? 'Cause my love is mine. All mine.
