@cordycepsinfection: “Why do you like Lydia so much?” She was raised with a brutal ideology that trained her to suppress her emotions and survive by “becoming one of the walkers” which gave her instant internal conflict: loyalty to her horrific mother while wanting a normal human connection. When she joins the main group she’s first a captive, then an outsider, then blamed for her mother’s actions while just trying to find a place to belong. She had to make a choice to overcome her fear and loyalty/attachment to her mother and her people for the better of herself. She proves that despite someone living their whole life under someone’s cruelty, it’s still possible to unlearn violence and choose a better path. I could keep going but I’ll cut it short here | scenepack dixonspacks | #twd #thewalkingdead #lydiatwd #twdedit #rickgrimes
