Six bullets into a first grader.

You have to understand the degree of hatred and open racism that needs to lay the groundwork for that kind of evil, the dehumanization and demonization that needs to occur for someone, probably gleefully, to put 6 bullets into a little 6-year-old.

This would be hilarious to watch

How am I expected to watch tvd season seven believing Damon and Bonnie aren't in love or have the tiniest romantic feelings for each other.

Clementine absolutely had a reputation throughout the end of the world. She got one in practically any large town she was part of. There is not a single person in this goddamned apocalypse who doesn’t know someone who’s at least heard of Clementine. She’s the kid who could win against the worst of the worst, with a toddler following in her wake. There’s the guy who claimed he totally met Clementine once guys, she’s not all that tough, really. There’s the lady who has a sister who had a friend who had an ex that saw Clementine for a few seconds at an old settlement like 2 years ago. There’s a guy who gets irate at the mere mention of her name because she stole the one car he managed to keep in good shape. There’s a kid who listens to the stories of the unstoppable girl with awe and wonder, hoping they can be as fierce as her.

I just really like the idea that Clementine isn’t exactly famous, but every now and again her name comes up and someone in the back of the crowd is like “oh you mean that kid who kicked ass?” because c’mon. Someone like her is bound to be recognizable.
