I’m Rewatching The Office And I’ve Picked Up The Habit Of Saying How Much I Love Andy Out Loud When

Clementine Comic Rant

The new Clementine Comic does not make any sense. Since season 2, Clementine has been fighting to keep AJ alive and safe with her, so Clementine suddenly wanting to abandon AJ is stupid.

Both AJ and Clementine are completely out of character. AJ is a stubborn kid and I highly doubt he’d actually listen to ‘Clementine’ telling him to stay at the school. Clementine got her happy ending when she found the school and defeated the Delta, so why does she suddenly want to leave? She has friends, a romantic partner (Louis or Violet) and a safe place to call home.

ALSO, Clem has one leg. ONE leg! Where the bloody hell is she gonna go with one leg? She can’t run, maybe she could possibly drive but seriously. I know Clementine is strong and can handle herself but again, ONE leg, moving fast on crutches is difficult. 

The whole comic ruins Clementine. In season 1, Lee became Clementine’s protector and promised to never leave her but got bit. If he had not gotten bit, he would’ve never left her, no matter how emotionally scarred he was. In season 4, Clementine becomes the Lee for AJ. In the flashback, she even promised that she’d never let AJ go again. Her character in the comic reminds me of Jane. It’s like she doesn’t care about the others feelings or opinions on her leaving, she doesn’t even tell them that she’s leaving.

Maybe my opinion wouldn’t be as strong if we were given more context during the 12 pages. For example, she feels like a burden to the group because she can’t contribute to the group as much as she did previously. Maybe I would’ve understood where she was coming from, BUT we didn’t get that context. So my opinion still stands.

For years, TellTale has been building this iconic character, for years. And SkyBound provided Clementine a place where she can live happily ever after. And the comic throws that all away in just 12 pages. I’ve seen other peoples opinions on the comic to find people also share the same views as me. I, like many fans love the idea of a sequel, but this is not it. I will never consider this canon and will forever believe that Clementine is living at Ericson with her friends and AJ happily.

EDIT - Side note:

Baby. It was bloody weird reading that shit. It’s either Goofball, kiddo, shitbird or nothing.

Until Dawn Remake: New scenes that I hope have been added

Interactions between characters who have zero interaction. Like Emily & Chris or Jessica & Ashley.

Jessica having more screen time instead of being unconscious for half of the game.

Same for Matt, who if he survives the tower falling, is literally just wondering around aimlessly in the mines for half of the game until he reunites with Jess.

Matt potentially making it back to get to the safe zone and having opinions on the whole Mike/Emily/Gun scenario.

Emily and Jessica actually interacting without arguing? Maybe a potential to rekindle friendship? (Cause they're fighting over Mike the sleaze ball, really????)

Maybe more Beth and Hannah scenes? Longer prologue perhaps to actually flesh out relationships. Maybe Matt and Ashley actually have dialogue?

Honestly, if there's just more character/group interactions, I will be satisfied.

Comparing my two TWD fics featuring Ben Paul as a main character

Basically, I've written 2 fanfictions that feature Ben Paul from twdg as the main protagonist. Both are 100k+ words and I only really consider one complete.

(None of these have been published btw)

Story 1 is about Ben surviving in TWD Game. He survives season 1 and becomes the guardian of Clementine & Duck. It was written in 2021 and has not been touched since. Currently, the last chapter is at the ski lodge cabin w/ Kenny in season 2.

Story 2 is about Ben surviving in TWD Show. He joins Rick going to Atlanta and joins the main group. Several characters fates have been changed. It was started in mid-2023 and I'm still currently writing it to this day. Seasons 1-5 have been written, season 6 has just begun.

Below are comparisons I've noticed while rereading story 1.

First person vs third person

Story 1 is written entirely in 1st person. Older me feels physically sick and confused with younger me because why? I cannot name a single one of my WIPs that are written in first person. Story 2 is written entirely in third-person omniscient, which I find a lot easier to read/write.

2. Ben is OOC for the most part

In both stories Ben is more capable as a survivour and is more confident in his abilities and expressing himself. Both stories show Ben learning how to fight walkers early on, however TWDG Ben is more nervous compared to my TWD Ben. TWD Ben is more confident and humorous compared to TWDG Ben.

3. Skipping scenes?

In story 1, I never skip any scenes from the game. Everything has been written exactly how it plays out in the game besides changing certain things like character fates and such. In story 2 however, I skip a lot of scenes because the scene either;

A. Doesn't have Ben in it nor does it make sense to write him into the scene.

OR

B. I did not feel like writing it so I skipped it entirely.

4. Ben's relationships with other survivours

In story 2, I flesh out a lot of the relationships with Ben and the other survivours. I put a lot more detail and effort into developing relationships, but in story 1, I hardly do that. I would say Ben is the closest with Doug in story 1, besides Clementine and Duck.

5. Quantity and Quality

Both stories currently have a word count of over 100k. Story 2 (TWD) has beaten story 1 (TWDG) in the word count, with 150k words. By comparing both of my stories, it's clear that I've put a lot more effort into story 2. There's a lot more detail dedicated to describing locations and characters compared to story 1.

I'm thinking of rewriting story 1 at some point, by putting more detail and changing it from first person to third-person omniscient.

Do you want more details of my stories?

Spoiler for Umbrella Academy Season 3. TW, mention of SA.

Am I the only one who really disliked Allison in this season?

Like yeah, she was grieving because of her daughter not existing in the timeline, but her actions throughout the season pissed me off. She was just such a bitch and for what though? We technically can’t even blame Harlan for what happened. Even if he didn’t kill their mothers, they wouldn’t have been adopted by Reginald since he willingly chose other kids because he realised that “his selection was poor” and chose stronger kids. So even if that Allison did survive, it’s possible that she may not have met Patrick and had Claire in the first place. 

And the fact that Allison turned so fast on Viktor and constantly kept trying to pick fights (COUGH COUGH at the wedding COUGH) and nearly killed him. Like yeah, technically Viktor was sort of responsible for giving Harlan powers unintentionally, resulting in their mothers deaths and Allison not existing in that timeline but Viktor had no idea that he even gave Harlan powers in the first place. 

And don’t even get me started on what the fuck happened between Allison and Luther this season. What happened in that scene between them was borderline SA. Allison uses her powers to make Luther stay to have sex with her. And people may argue that she just wanted him to stay and not go with the enemy, but what does, “I heard a rumour that; you want me“ imply? She’s grieving; but that’s no excuse for her actions. I know they were together, but Luther has moved on with Sloane, just like Allison had with Raymond. Edit: She almost acts surprised when he doesn’t stop after she says to stop. The dude is under her power!

Other than Allison being a huge dick throughout the entire season. I enjoyed it a lot, especially Klaus being able to gain more control of his power and finding out that he’s immortal was fascinating. I’m really excited for season 4, I want to find out what happens now that they have no powers. 

Everything Wrong With Umbrella Academy Season 4 (Characters)

The way it felt like someone who had never seen the show wrote this season????

The characters were AWFUL and were almost entirely new characters with all their previous character development forgotten.

Allison - Honestly, I don't like Allison (after watching THAT scene w Luther), so I really didn't care what happened with her this season. I think it does suck that she wasn't able to be happy with Ray, they were nice together. Also, no rumours? Her power was one of the most interesting out of the family.

Luther - People were commenting about how childish and positive he was being this season and how it was out of character from him being so serious. Honestly? I love silly Luther, he's such a breath of fresh air. I also like to believe that because Luther was assigned the leader of the family (being number 1 and all), he's able to enjoy himself without that pressure. Also, I also love to believe that Luther is using being positive and silly as a coping mechanism as to not be overwhelmed by the sadness of losing Sloane and also his current living situation. Giving him his gorilla body back was so unnecessary and makes no sense cause it wasn't the marigold that gave him the body.

Ben - He sucked. I hate that Sparrow Ben was the one that was dragged with them because it meant that we had to deal with him sulking and being angsty the whole time. Also, the character development we witnessed 1-2 just disappeared instantly cause of Sparrow Ben. Also, his friendship with Klaus was the best thing in the show and I hate that we never get to see that in season 3.

Klaus - I was actually so happy for him being sober, even if he wasn't living the best life because of his paranoia with death and germs. So it really sucked when that immediately went down the drain the second his body got the marigold.

Diego - He deserved better. Yeah, his constant complaining about his "belly" (which wasn't even that big of a difference??) and wanting to go back to his old super spy life did affect his and Lila's marriage, but when he realised that he immediately accepted that he was at fault and was willing to improve their marriage to make Lila happy.

Lila - I liked Lila before season 4. I don't know what they were thinking honestly by changing her entire character. Yes, she and Five were stuck for 7 years together, but seriously? That plot added NOTHING to the story because in the end, Lila chose Diego and then they all DIED like 10 minutes later!!

Viktor - Honestly? Viktor didn't really stand out this season for me. Sure, he got kidnapped by Ian Hawk. I thought the idea of him trying to remove the marigold from Ben was a really cool idea but then it just didn't happen. I thought his interactions with Reginald were decent, since it's interesting to see how this Reginald thinks about Viktor compared to the original timeline Reginald.

Five - It's honestly kind of impressive how the writers were able to make the best character in the show the worst character by the end of it. They completely changed his whole character. First, his personality is duller than a door nail. He's so emotionless and so boring. Where's the excessive facial expressions and movements? Second, changing his motivations. For the past 3 seasons we have watched him with one goal in his mind; "Save the world and his siblings". So why would Five ever possibly consider both giving that up for Lila of all people. Third, giving Five a love interest was so useless and lazy. Why would he choose a girl over his siblings? Especially one literally MARRIED to his BROTHER. Fourth, him being all pouty and jealous over Lila choosing Diego (her husband and father of her kids - no shit she was gonna pick him over Five, literally have no idea why Five even thought he had a chance) to the point where he plans to just ditch his family in the middle of a big fight. Five, him fighting Diego in the middle of said big fight. THEN, Five just gives up??? Yeah, that's probably all he could do but seriously, this is Five we're talking about, the guy who survived in 45 years in the apocalypse to try and get back to his family and save the world. Do you really believe that he would just give up?

BONUS:

Jennifer - They could introduce a new character/love interest for Ben but they didn't do the same for Five so they just gave him the only other woman who wasn't his sister???? LAZY. Also, the amount of plot holes with Jennifer's character makes me queasy.

Thank you for the suggestion @loveharz  :) It’s 4 am right now so I won’t be making any more until I wake up.

Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.

Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.

(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)

I’ve been using Canva alot recently. Mostly making custom twdg app icons and was looking at twdg memes and I decided to make my own. Plus I haven’t uploaded in like a month.
