#ftwd sherry

i really like how dwight and sherry’s story in ftwd actually explores the trauma that negan caused and the effect he had on them. at every turn their choices are motivated by “we can’t turn out like him” and “what can we do to be keep others safe from going through what we went through?”. 

virginia was negan 2.0 for them and the way they reacted to her really showed just how brokenthey are, like how sherry instantly wanted to kill her no matter the cost while dwight wanted to avoid more bloodshed from the get go. they’re being put through the same thing again and they’re lashing out because they already know the pain that will be caused further down the line.

like idk man i just really like them. they’re really complex characters and i’m glad they moved to fear after leaving the main show because i love having more of them
