Anyone who watches The Walking Dead will tell you that the show's fandom is pretty intense. We're constantly teeming with theories about tiny details, our undeniable crush on Rick Grimes, and, of course, our endless shipping of Daryl and Carol. Suffice it to say, as we gear up for the next season, we need something to cut the tension. We fans are at our wits' end. To help you forge the sad, Walking Dead-less month ahead, keep reading for all the types of TWD fans to be aware of during this trying time.
Even when Carl's eating pudding on a roof, they're panicking. "It's not safe! Oh my God what if someone sees him?!" Then, when something actually intense happens — which is quite often, as you know — they go into full-on panic mode.
This person doesn't care if you ruin the whole series for them. They knew every spoiler there was to know, before they even started. Nothing suprises them, and that's the way they like it.
They will seriously stop talking to you if you spoil one thing. Even if it's entirely insignificant. "I CAN'T believe you told me who steals Morgan's protein bar. That is f*cked UP."
The avid reader will tell you as soon as the show strays from the comic books, even if you didn't ask. They have to say it. They must tell you that's not who dies in the comics. They'll explode if they don't.
Quite the casual TWD fan. They're like, "Yep, I'll just go with the flow."
If someone's supposed to die in the upcoming season finale, you can bet they will send you 19 stories from around the Internet that suggest who it might be.
Do they want to watch a beautiful, post-apocalyptic love story unfold in the trenches of a zombie-filled world? Yes. Do they want to watch someone get literally ripped apart by the blood-hungry undead? Not really.
When Michonne opens a can of whoop ass with her samurai sword, this is the person who starts giddily cheering.
They don't know anything about anything. All they know is that everyone who's caught up is very upset about Glenn. And Negan.
This person is constantly at the edge of the their seat. Like, "Oh man, she's going to die. That character? Dead, dead, dead. This plan is a mistake. Everyone's dead. Goodbye, everyone."
They're all, "Oh, it's OK that Lori dies. At least I still have Andrea . . . oh." They just can't catch a break. They were probably like, "Ugh, love Denise!" right before she takes an arrow through her eye.
This is the person who's constantly screaming at the TV. Frequent phrases might include, "DON'T GO IN THERE!" and "OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod." And also, just incoherent, distressed noises.
If this person misses one damn word, they're rewinding. It'll take, like, two hours to watch one episode. Do not test them.
This person cannot bring themselves to watch an episode unless they have comfort food in hand. Pizza, ice cream, wine, candy, chips . . . they need it.
They're like, "Oh man . . . yeah, I totally know who that character is. Sucks that they died. Yeah. Bummer."
As soon as the season's over, they collapse. They're done. Nothing can save them now. The wait will be excruciating. Do not touch them. Do not talk to them.
This is the person who's all, "But what is The Walking Dead trying to say about humanity? Who are the real monsters, the zombies or the people?" Everyone else, of course, is like, "Hey, can you take a seat please?"
This person wants to find the showrunners and make them pay for all this suffering. How dare they put us through this emotional distress? How could they leave us with that cliffhanger or kill this character? After every season ends, they're like, "Screw this, I am done. I am so done." But then, lo and behold, they're glued to the TV when next season rolls around.
