nobody asked, but here are my current top three favourite Carl Grimes fanfics on ao3! (All multi-chap and unfinished)
FIRST PLACE
From Whence we Came by AtlasNerd
this is honestly my favourite fic of all time. I go back and reread it at least once a month. I don’t even care that it’s most likely abandoned because it is just that good. It is THE saviour Carl fic and will probably always be my number one.
SECOND PLACE
What remains by noorvex
this is currently the one I’m most invested in because it’s updating very frequently. The jump in quality from the first chapters to the most recent ones is astounding, and the story is sooo good. Basically a fix-it starting at Carl’s supposed death. Reminds me of From Whence we Came in all the best ways.
THIRD PLACE
Faded Dreams (Shine Brightly Now) by EmlynC
time travel fix-it where Carl gets sent back to the very beginning. Character development for everyone is on point, and the story takes a lot of what-ifs from the earlier seasons and makes them real. Even though this one doesn’t update as much anymore, I still jump for joy whenever I get the notification.
anyways, love love love all of these and can’t recommend them enough <3

some sketches from yesterday, featuring Carl if they hadn’t killed him off
viva la vida by coldplay is sooo Negan (specifically his prison era).
like, hello? “I used to rule the world” ???
“I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes” (quite literally the lineup and how he treated the communities, I fear)
“Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate” (Literally Rick, Maggie and all them)
“I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own” (him in the prison at Alexandria guys)
