I'm a big fan of the walking dead in general. I played the Telltale games several times and my favourite character of literally all time is Ben Paul from season 1. I've watched the show dozens of times and it is in my top 3 shows. (Super disappointed with how the new walking dead game came out - loved the concept of changing the story, but the way they went about it was terrible).
But I found the spinoffs incredibly boring. It might have something to do with the fact that you have to wait a week for every episode, so when I find the first few episodes boring, I'm not bothered to wait and watch the next episode when it comes out. (This has nothing to do with impatience by the way, at one point I was watching Abbott Elementary, The Righteous Gemstones, The White Lotus AND Yellowjackets, all of which are fantastic shows and all had episodes releasing every week).
I watched season 1 of Dead City and remember nothing besides the basic plot of Hershel. I do not plan on continuing the show for season 2.
I watched I think the first two episodes of We're the ones who live before I quit, because again, I was incredibly bored. I love Rick and was so excited to see him back on screen with Michonne, but I got so bored so fast.
I watched the first 3 episodes of Daryl Dixon before I got bored and stopped watching, nor do I plan on continuing. I'm also not into the idea of romance for Daryl, which I had a feeling was gonna happen in like episode 1 with the bath scene.
Controversial opinion; but I will literally only watch Dead City season 2, but ONLY IF Negan and Maggie kiss. I fear that is the only way I would ever watch the show again, because it would be the biggest plot twist in the entire universe and the entire fanbase would quite literally implode out of rage.
Basically, I've written 2 fanfictions that feature Ben Paul from twdg as the main protagonist. Both are 100k+ words and I only really consider one complete.
(None of these have been published btw)
Story 1 is about Ben surviving in TWD Game. He survives season 1 and becomes the guardian of Clementine & Duck. It was written in 2021 and has not been touched since. Currently, the last chapter is at the ski lodge cabin w/ Kenny in season 2.
Story 2 is about Ben surviving in TWD Show. He joins Rick going to Atlanta and joins the main group. Several characters fates have been changed. It was started in mid-2023 and I'm still currently writing it to this day. Seasons 1-5 have been written, season 6 has just begun.
Below are comparisons I've noticed while rereading story 1.
First person vs third person
Story 1 is written entirely in 1st person. Older me feels physically sick and confused with younger me because why? I cannot name a single one of my WIPs that are written in first person. Story 2 is written entirely in third-person omniscient, which I find a lot easier to read/write.
2. Ben is OOC for the most part
In both stories Ben is more capable as a survivour and is more confident in his abilities and expressing himself. Both stories show Ben learning how to fight walkers early on, however TWDG Ben is more nervous compared to my TWD Ben. TWD Ben is more confident and humorous compared to TWDG Ben.
3. Skipping scenes?
In story 1, I never skip any scenes from the game. Everything has been written exactly how it plays out in the game besides changing certain things like character fates and such. In story 2 however, I skip a lot of scenes because the scene either;
A. Doesn't have Ben in it nor does it make sense to write him into the scene.
OR
B. I did not feel like writing it so I skipped it entirely.
4. Ben's relationships with other survivours
In story 2, I flesh out a lot of the relationships with Ben and the other survivours. I put a lot more detail and effort into developing relationships, but in story 1, I hardly do that. I would say Ben is the closest with Doug in story 1, besides Clementine and Duck.
5. Quantity and Quality
Both stories currently have a word count of over 100k. Story 2 (TWD) has beaten story 1 (TWDG) in the word count, with 150k words. By comparing both of my stories, it's clear that I've put a lot more effort into story 2. There's a lot more detail dedicated to describing locations and characters compared to story 1.
I'm thinking of rewriting story 1 at some point, by putting more detail and changing it from first person to third-person omniscient.
Do you want more details of my stories?
I’ve made some posts about Duck lives AU’s in the past, but this is different. I’m currently in the middle of writing The Walking Dead Season 1 (no title yet), an AU where Ben is the main protagonist and lives, along with Duck. In the story, I’m currently up to The St John. Dairy.
~Below are more detail about the ideas I have~
I’ve been playing with some ideas for future seasons and episodes, like whose fates remain the same, canon determinant or canon alive characters dying and how they’re character or death affects the storyline.
An idea I would love to use is the Stranger taking both Clementine AND Duck. It’d make sense for the Stranger to try and take both a young girl and a young boy, to replace the son and daughter he lost. Obviously, there are a few nuts and bolts I have to look for before it completely makes sense.
Like Duck’s motive for going with the Stranger. Clementine’s motive is that she believes the Stranger is with her parents. Duck’s motive could be that he wants to play the ‘hero’ in the situation and that he could protect Clementine from any danger if he goes along too. BUT, this means their has to be some sort of change in characters fates for this to work. I’ve decided to make Katjaa get bitten during the raid, but Kenny’s fate I’m still deciding on whether I should kill him off early.
Don’t get me wrong, Kenny is a brilliant, well written and iconic character, but it wouldn’t make any sense to willingly leave the group, knowing that his son is alive. Alternatively, Kenny can take the most selfish route, and leave his son, after the death of his wife being too much for him to handle. This could give Kenny and Duck’s relationship more tension when reuniting in S2, especially with Sarita being in the picture. Duck would originally hate Sarita, believing that she is trying to take his mother’s place, but could reconcile after Sarita helps him with something (like an injury, idk).
Kenny being alive in S2 gave me the idea the fight between Jane and Kenny ending differently, with Jane not being in the fight completely. Ben could be the cause of Sarita’s death, making Kenny hate Ben (since I’ve made Ben having no involvement in the bandits deal). During the fight, Kenny has Ben pinned and tries to stab in him in the throat with a blade. Clementine could originally have the gun, going into a panic attack or freezing in fear, so Duck takes the gun and shoots Kenny himself. This would harden Duck’s childish personality, making him create a brick wall around himself when it comes to strangers or people that try to become close to him.
Also. S4. Lilly captures Duck. She taunts him about Kenny and how he probably died saving Duck, just they (Ben, Clem, Duck) would when it came to protecting AJ. And then Duck just goes,
“I killed him”
*chef kiss*
My conputers dead right now and currently in the shop getting fixed, so I’ve been spending the past two days writing and planning a story about Ben Paul being the main protagonist.
I’m hoping to give more back story to characters who had very little dialogue or little to not screen time throughout the game. Like Irene from season 1, for example; the only things we really got to know about her from her dialogue was that she was possibly Christian and that she had a boyfriend but thats it. We didn’t even get to know her name, we found out through the credits.
I want to give her a backstory like she and her boyfriend were in the middle of a roadtrip to see the world before Irene could continue her education, but their car broke down and needed to be repaired and that’s why they were at the motel.
Stuff like that. I also want to change certain characters fates, especially those who you are given the option to save and then die later or in the same episode.
*COUGH* Sarah.
But obviously, I’m stuck on some characters, especially those in season 1. So if anyone has any ideas of traits or back stories of characters they like from the walking dead game, I’d be happy to hear them and discuss ideas.
(Title is still a work in progress!)
:)
In Season 1, Episode 2, when Lee, Mark and Kenny encounter David, Travis and Ben in the woods, Lee can cut off David’s leg or Mark shoots Travis by accident. When David loses his leg, Mark and Travis approach to look at him and Travis turns away to puke and then Ben has a look and just looks uncomfortable. But in Episode 4, if Ben is the only one to go with Lee, he’ll faint whilst Lee cuts off his arm.
Which is it?
I’m re-watching TWDG final season, y’know, watching other lets players choices and reactions. In episode 1 where Louis, Violet, Aj and Clementine go to the train station to get the food from the floorboards, how does Abel get past Violet? Cause Violet waits outside whilst Aj and Clem get the food.
The only logical idea I had was that Abel threatens Violet with his gun into letting him into the train station. But if you don’t attack Abel and let him take the food, Violet runs in and says they’re running out of time and that they need to leave but trails off when she sees Abel, meaning she did NOT see him before.
It’s possible that some walkers got bored of watching Louis and wondered off and whilst Violet was dealing with them, Abel snuck past her. I don’t know.
Season 3 - Eleanor rant.
TW - Lots of Swearing.
Now season 3 is not my favourite season of the TWDG, that title will always be taken by season one but it does have it’s good moments. The story line was pretty good, most characters had likeable personalities and charm - one of the reasons I love the franchise so much and the antogonists really made me feel hatred towards them. Alas, within a pen of sheep, there’s always that one fox dressed in wool you never expect.
Eleanor starts of as a decent character, being introduced as the ‘doctor’ for Prescott, showing sympathy for Javier when he mentions his family at the junkyard and even offers to sneak Javi and Clem out to save Kate and the kids. The player is given a choice to go with Tripp or Eleanor. In my gameplay, I chose Tripp, because I trusted Clem’s instincts.
Time skip, Prescott is overrun by the New Frontier, forcing survivors out onto the road where their last resort is to ask the New Frontier to help Kate who’s dying from her wound. Reunite with David, blah blah blah. Also, I know Eleanor left Kate in the car, dumb idea, but honestly, Eleanor and Kate have similar body types and probably weigh about the same, so Eleanor trying to carry an INJURED Kate all the way to the gate? Impossible. (Had to rethink here for a second if Eleanor carried Kate at some point but no, Gabe carries her if Javi stays to fight and Javi carries her if he goes).
Aaaanyway, Eleanor is given a free pass by Doctor Lingard, basically giving her citizenship because of her stitching on Kate’s wound and I get it, props to Eleanor for her medical skills. *clap clap*. This far, Eleanor hasn’t really given me any reason to dislike her for anything that she’s done. She believed she was doing what was best for Kate by leaving her in the car to get help, but that ‘help’ turned out to be bs cause they just lied to her and locked her up. During this time, she’ll obviously become close with some of the other leaders, mainly Joan.
BIG time skip up to when Gabe helps Javi escape and the group reunite in David’s house, I believe. Javi walks in on Eleanor and Tripp’s relationship housefire and then can explain how Joan is a terrible person who is planning on ‘removing’ David from his role as one of the leaders by blaming the murders of members on him. After retrieving weapons from the armory and returning, the tension is pretty thick between everyone.
Group discuss what to do, go after Joan in the centre. Eleanor agrees and asks how. I always was suspicious of Eleanor’s hesitant tone but I was like, “Pffft, that’d be stupid, Eleanor’s a good guy”.
*X factor buzzer*
WRONG! It’s all revealed that Eleanor told Joan the groups entire plan. This bitch ruined the entire plan because she wanted to play teachers pet to her new mummy. And karma, being the sob it is, drags Tripp and Ava onto the stage where they’ll be the toys of a claw machine, but SURPRISE, there all rigged! And Eleanor is forced to watch as Joan orders her men to off a woman she barely knew, or her bestfriend and past lover. And when the final show down happens, she forces the blame, onto us! Everything happened because of her. And when you tell her this, she stomps her foot and says she didn’t want to leave in the first place.
Okay. But did you ever consider the rest of the group? The group that doesn’t feel safe between these walls when Joan is the one ruling it with an iron fist? No, because Eleanor is selfish and wanted to climb the electric fence and land on a cactus on Joan’s side. The woman who instructed her men to attack Prescott, her home, take her friend as a hostage, invade the place with walkers, tear gas and begin to brutally murder the people who did nothing to provoke Joan OR her people. Did Eleanor know all of this? Probably not. Despite that, she chose the side of a woman she barely knew, over her bestfriend.
And when Javi asks her why she told Joan the plan? She has the nerve, the absolute nerve to say, “I wAS jUst TRyInG to deFUsE A baD SItuATioN”.
Bitch. YOU CREATED THE BAD SITUATION! And then, she can say, “Tripp was my best friend, Javi!”
And who put Tripp in that situation? Huh? Was it Gabe? Was it Joan? No, it was Eleanor.
And, and, AND, the stupidest thing about this entire scene; is that I can’t even chew her out for it! And the game wants me to automatically forgive her because she’s trying to help people after pulling a stunt like that? Fuck. That.
Eleanor is my least favourite character throughout the entire walking dead game franchise and I won’t see it any other way. 12 thumbs down, 0/5 star rating, undercooked, it’s a no from me, au revoir!
The new Clementine Comic does not make any sense. Since season 2, Clementine has been fighting to keep AJ alive and safe with her, so Clementine suddenly wanting to abandon AJ is stupid.
Both AJ and Clementine are completely out of character. AJ is a stubborn kid and I highly doubt he’d actually listen to ‘Clementine’ telling him to stay at the school. Clementine got her happy ending when she found the school and defeated the Delta, so why does she suddenly want to leave? She has friends, a romantic partner (Louis or Violet) and a safe place to call home.
ALSO, Clem has one leg. ONE leg! Where the bloody hell is she gonna go with one leg? She can’t run, maybe she could possibly drive but seriously. I know Clementine is strong and can handle herself but again, ONE leg, moving fast on crutches is difficult.
The whole comic ruins Clementine. In season 1, Lee became Clementine’s protector and promised to never leave her but got bit. If he had not gotten bit, he would’ve never left her, no matter how emotionally scarred he was. In season 4, Clementine becomes the Lee for AJ. In the flashback, she even promised that she’d never let AJ go again. Her character in the comic reminds me of Jane. It’s like she doesn’t care about the others feelings or opinions on her leaving, she doesn’t even tell them that she’s leaving.
Maybe my opinion wouldn’t be as strong if we were given more context during the 12 pages. For example, she feels like a burden to the group because she can’t contribute to the group as much as she did previously. Maybe I would’ve understood where she was coming from, BUT we didn’t get that context. So my opinion still stands.
For years, TellTale has been building this iconic character, for years. And SkyBound provided Clementine a place where she can live happily ever after. And the comic throws that all away in just 12 pages. I’ve seen other peoples opinions on the comic to find people also share the same views as me. I, like many fans love the idea of a sequel, but this is not it. I will never consider this canon and will forever believe that Clementine is living at Ericson with her friends and AJ happily.
EDIT - Side note:
Baby. It was bloody weird reading that shit. It’s either Goofball, kiddo, shitbird or nothing.
Kenny Junior Aesthetic Board
I’m taking suggestions for aesthetic boards of characters from twdg.
Idk :)
Ben Paul Aesthetic Board
I’ve seen a couple posts of twdg aesthetic boards for characters and decided to make one myself.
Idk :)
I just watched a video of what they think would’ve happened if Lee didn’t get bit and I decided to write.
First of all, there would have been no way to save Ben when he falls from the balcony. When Lee and Kenny go down to help Ben, they find him on the ground with his one of the balcony poles impaled just under his ribs and one of his legs bent in an odd position. It’s possible that Ben broke his leg(s) from the fall which would easily leave him incapable of surviving. None of the people in the group with them at the moment are skilled enough to patch Ben up and even if they were to get him off the pole, the pain would cause him to scream and draw walkers (occurred in game). An injury like that would’ve caused him to die quickly from blood loss.
Read for more detail and stuff idk
Ben’s two alternate deaths would become an issue putting him into season 2 as some players would have saved Ben or killed him off. With Ben’s first death at the Crawford bell tower, he’s grabbed by Oberson who was hanging from the bell. Distracted by the loud noise, Ben is grabbed by Oberson and Lee shoots the walker, causing the walker to collapse to the bottom of the tower and Ben holding onto the edge. If Ben were to make it to season 2, the choice of saving Ben or not would have to never exist. Ben’s second death seems unavoidable. The group would have to take an alternate route or possibly make the balcony collapse just as the last person (before Ben) on the balcony jumps to the opposite building. Kenny will suggest to leave Ben while Omid and Christa object. Lee will have to find something to help Ben get across safely. Possibly a plank of wood.
(Here I thought of the idea of Ben jumping from another balcony before remembering they are at the houses. Ben could possibly jump for another balcony (not sure how far the balcony's are from each other) or use a something else. I also thought of the idea of Ben just risking the jump and grabbing onto Lee’s hand, but remembered the group got onto the balcony from the window. The window isn’t very big and Ben is a f*cking giant so the chance of him jumping far enough to grab Lee’s hand is super low)
Anyway, when Ben makes it onto the other side, Christa will fall through a hole in the floor and Kenny will jump down, save her and be assumed dead. Omid and Christa will cross over the billboard and it’ll collapse after Christa crosses. Lee says he’ll go down because he has nothing left to lose.
- I’ll be posting a part two tomorrow probably. I just downloaded Road to survival in the middle of writing this after seeing Ben’s character fighting and I stopped writing this for 3 hours to play. I’m already at level 6 :)
Idk :)
While looking for a good photo of Jean from 400 days to draw (which was a struggle), I came across a reddit post about a character named Asha which was scrapped from the Final Season. And I was like WHAT! I had no idea this was a thing, the character design of her was a little weird cause it shows her with Season 1 Clementine and there’s a sketch which looks like she’s arguing with an older Gabe. Apparently there was nothing in past scripts that actually included Asha which is a shame. There’s also this other character that was scrapped, Jill who was also scrapped from the Final Season. The only thing I really found about Jill is she’s described as a wanderer and Clementine would of met her during the old Final Season.
I’m sure there are alot of scrapped characters but these are the first two I’ve actually found. Would you include Sandra in scrapped characters? As she was going to be added into flashbacks of Season 3 but was replaced by back story of the Garcias, which still pisses me off. I really didn’t care for any of those flashbacks. I’ll make a seperate post of me ranting on about how Sandra should’ve been added into flashbacks of Season 3, if I remember.
:) idk
In this AU, Duck lives, Sarah lives and Mariana and Gabriel live.
Let's imagine that Ben died with his classmates in the forest (along with his teacher and Travis).
That would mean the raid didn't happen and Duck never got bit
After completely running out of food and supplies, Lilly agrees to move on
(In this playthrough, Lee chooses Carly, leaving Doug to die)
(Sorry all you Doug fans, but I'm going with Carly cause I've seen most play throughs where the player saves Carly and personally I would save Carly myself)
After packing up everything, they all get in the van and leave the motel
Clementine and Duck talk about cartoons as the rest of them sits in silence
Tension continues to grow as Kenny continues to drive
Lilly and Carly argue (Lilly is growing paranoid that someone is stealing)
Kenny hits the walker and they all get out of the van to settle this argument
They all argue and Carly tears into Lilly
Carly is shot dead on the side of the road shocking everyone
Kenny tells Katjaa to keep Duck away from the windows but Clementine and Duck saw everything already
Lee leaves Lilly on the side of the road and they all get back in the van
Kenny calls Lee up to the front where he finds out Katjaa is bitten
(I don't really know what would happen if Katjaa lived instead of Duck)
(Alot of the Duck lives aus I've read kill of Katjaa, but they don't explain how she was killed off and when)
Lee sits with Clem on the couch and informs her of Katjaa's predicament.
Lee has the dream, fearing if Clementine was in the same situation as Katjaa
Lee wakes up and Kenny announces there's a derailed train in their way. They all get out to sit on some logs near the train. Kenny asks Lee if he can find some water for Katjaa as Duck sits with her quietly.
Lee takes care of the dead walker in one of the compartments and finds a bottle of water and a map. He also finds some tools. Lee presses a blinking light hesitanting.
He goes outside and gives Katjaa the water before figuring out how to start the train.
Lee soon meets Chuck who gives both Clem and Duck candy
Everyone gets on the train and begin to leave
Katjaa, whose becoming weaker and weaker every second, tells Lee to stop the train after a couple of hours on the train.
After convincing Kenny to stop the train, everyone gets off.
Kenny tries to tell Duck to stay, but being as stubborn, Duck becomes angry and tells his dad off
Hesitantly, they all walk into the woods. They reach a certain part and Kenny gently places Katjaa against a tree. Lee watches as they all say their final goodbyes. Kenny aims the gun towards Katjaa and Duck looks away, not bearing to see the sight of his mother being shot by his own father.
Kenny is too scared to pull the trigger and Lee offers to do it. Kenny and Duck cry together as Lee puts Katjaa to rest. They then begin going back to the train.
Chuck then gives Lee advice which Lee follows, giving Clem and a hair cut and teaching Clem to the shoot.
(In the game, Ben would come forward after Lee gives Clem a haircut)
The train comes to a stop shocking everyone. They all get out as Kenny screams at the hanging truck.
They meet Omid and Christa on top of the bridge
Duck stays with his dad as Clem and Lee go to the train station where they work to together to kill some walkers and find a blowtorch
Omid and Lee cut the tanker down, Chuck notices the massive herd coming towards them.
Omid not wanting to jump, Lee pushes him off and jumps off with him. Omid hurts his leg and helps Christa and Omid on the train
They escape the herd and Lee finds out someone has been talking to a man on her radio
The arrive at Savannah and the bell rings, Lee sees a figure on the church roof. The radio turns on and the man speaks to them. Christa gives Lee a nasty look after they find out the radio works.
A large herd appears forcing the group to move from the streets.
(Instead of Ben running away from Clem, Chuck is already there to save Clem from the walkers)
They reach a manor and Lee tries to find a way inside
Lee notices a dog flap which requires a chip, Lee digs up the dead dog for its collar which saddens Duck.
Clementine takes the dog collar from Lee before crawling inside, Lee praises Clem after.
Lee finds Kenny up in the attic seeing the boy like Duck, Kenny says he wouldn't know what to do if Duck turned into a walker
After burying the boy he sees someone watching.
Kenny and Lee go to the docks and meet Molly, where they discover Clem has followed them
Lee escapes through the sewers and discovers that Chuck killed himself and the walkers have devoured him
Lee finds a propped up sign to find an entrance to an underground bunker. Lee manages to calm down the group.
Vernon and Lee return to the manor with Vernon seeing Kenny drunk off his skunk and Christa tells him how Omid is getting worse by the minute
Lee then goes outside to find Clem then hears banging from the shed, Clem bursts out of the door knocking Lee over.
They see the boat and Kenny says they need gas and a battery
They all agree to leave Crawford and find the truth
Kenny goes to find gas as Vernon and Christa attempt to open the medical room as Brie stays with Clementine and Duck
Lee heads out to find the battery and meets up with Molly and they are able to get a batery
After watching the videos they confront Molly and she tells the truth
Since Ben is not alive, the hatchet stays in the door, but their are so many walkers they manage to break through anyway
Brie holds the door as Kenny tries to break through the armoury door (Ben isn't there which means they don't fight)
Brie is killed by the walkers forcing the group into the armoury
They run up the stairs to the bell tower and Lee kills the walkers slowly making his way up.
Lee climbs out of the window and they make their way back to the manor where Omid wakes up
After arguing with Vernon, Lee says goodbye to Molly and heads up to the study
After Clementine cries about not finding her parents, Lee leaves
The next day Lee can't find Clem and asks Duck who says she went outside earlier and continues to talk to Christa and Omid
Lee goes outside where he finds her hat and her walkie
When he grabbed her walkie, a walker reached out and bit him, Lee kills it and reaches for her hat, only to see the bite mark.
They all run out hearing Lee shout, he shows the bite mark and he decides it's more important to find Clementine, Lee thinks it's Vernon who took her
They all leave, Duck stays close to Kenny as he's told
They enter the sewer system
The stranger tells Lee that Clem is fine, saying that he isn't Vernon and to choose his words carefully, he tells Lee she's safer with him, they have a city of walkers between them, Lee figures out he has to be in the city
Duck talks to Omid as Lee searches the morgue to find a way out
He finds some tools in a closet before he passes out
Lee wakes up to find Kenny about to chop his arm off, Lee agrees, Lee faints again and wakes up with his stump bandaged
Walkers begin breaking in and Lee finishes opening the elevator shaft and the group hurries in
After climbing the ladder to the roof, they figure out a way to the mansion
Kenny tells Duck to not look at all the walkers through the streets
Duck glances at them quickly before looking up at his dad nodding
Lee uses the ladder to go to the bell tower and rings it, managing to jump from the tower to the roof
Duck tells him he's awesome as the rest congratulate him
They climb down teh fire and escape to the street to reach the manor
Duck sits silently as Omid opens the shed to find the boat missing and a note from Vernon
Kenny shouts in rage, leading walkers to froce them into the manor
The group run upstairs, Kenny shouting at Duck to go upstairs
They are then pushed up to the attic
As Lee figures out the wall is rotten as Kenny shows Duck how to shoot at random things in the attic
Omid breaks through the wall and find a couple who killed themselves
Duck stares sadly at them before Kenny makes him look away
They all get to the marsh house from the balcony, Christa is the last to jump but the balcony collapses. She manages to grab a pipe on her way down and holds on tightly
Kenny and Lee goes down to save her, Christa gets to the ground safely with the help of Kenny and Lee
Walkers corner them and Kenny closes the gate where Christa and Lee ran.
Kenny tells Lee to look after Duck before he shoots at the walkers
They climb back up and tell Omid and Duck their dead
Duck breaks down and Omid and Christa comfort him
After a few minutes, Duck becomes silent and seems calmer
He looked down at the herd before saying one last goodbye to his dad before they left
Lee tells Duck he's strong as they continue along the rooftops
Duck nods silently
Lee leaves the three and makes it to the Marsh house
Lee is then held at gunpoint by the stranger
They talk about all the choices Lee has made since the drugstore, not saving Doug, taking Clem to the farm, killing Larry, leaving Lilly on the side of the road and stealing from his family
Clem breaks out and Lee and the stranger fight, Clem kills the stranger and they escape cutting the walker open and covering Clem with blood and guts
Clem takes her hat back and sees her parents, Lee faints and drags Lee to a jewellery store for safety
Lee tells her he's not gonna make it and tells Clem a final lesson (If I played I would choose keep your hair short, because it's smart but it's also really sweet)
Clementine says one last goodbye to Lee and shoots him, not wanting him to become a walker
She leaves the store and walks through Savannah to the area near the train
She meets up with Omid, Christa and Duck who managed to make it out of Savannah and were looking for her
OK SO WHY IS THIS SO DEVASTATING
