David Garcia - Tumblr Posts

What do you think was the logic behind making Kate into a step-mom instead of just a mom?

the walking dead game as a series seems to focus specifically on non traditional family structures, and how a family doesnt need to be blood related to Be a Family. and also the building of that family. or when might you have to cut someone out of that family

kate never really even wanted to be a stepmother, but still she wanted to do right by the kids anyway. and then she was the one left with them when their father never came back. which ties into her relationship with javi, who Did stay and help her take care of them, even tho he struggled with being present for his family in the past. when them and the kids are left on their own as a unit, they have to learn how to be a family together. they built that bond

which is why i wish there was some like.. gabe meter that tracked how javi treated him over the season, and depending on your actions he would either go with david or stay with javi at the garage. because they have a really nice convo about how when gabe was little he wanted to be just like his dad, and his dad told him to never be like javi. but now he disagrees with his dad and would be proud to be like javi. that was a really strong moment!! and completely undercut by him still chosing david in the garage. but he does get burned for it. so i suppose his "hes my dad you wouldnt understand" reasoning gets proven wrong in the end. wanting to help but having to let go of someone before they can bring you down with them also seems to be a running theme of the series
