Outta Here
After seeing a tweet acknowledging that the "#Caryl" fans are likely angered by the news of Carol and Ezekiel, having been loyal to the other potential relationship for years, many The Walking Dead fans (or former The Walking Dead fans, as many claim to be) spouted their rage in response.
Twitter user @dlynnster promises they just "[don't give a f—]" anymore.
Some fans were less hostile and simply saddened by officially losing what could have been.
Morning Mourning
For fans of the characters who have been around since 2010, the emotional punch of knowing that a relationship they pulled for for years is over is a bitter pill to swallow.
Twitter user @StephanieDemps6 wasn't happy to wake up and realize Carol and Ezekiel being together was not a dream.
Other Twitter users shared information that reveals they have resorted to fan fiction — which began with the AMC show's story and spun off in its own direction — which features the Carol and Daryl relationship they wanted to see.
Logic?
Twitter user @ubiquitousurn voiced her displeasure with the Carol and Ezekiel relationship, citing the promotional material and merchandise made throughout the years catering to fans of Carol and Daryl's relationship.
In another tweet, she vented her frustration over the AMC show choosing to use a clip of Daryl and Carol together moments after confirming the other relationship.
"The [Season 9] preview special is going to feature King Ezekiel as a guest, but the sneak peak promo showcases Daryl & Carol," she wrote. "Uh huh. Yep. Umm. Got it."
She wasn't alone in those frustrations, either.
Furious
Twitter user Denise Esterline swore off The Walking Dead when Carol and Ezekiel were made official and wanted to let social media, including the show's respective Twitter accounts, know about it.
"Final dagger in the heart of your loyal fans," was Carl, Rick and Caryl all being dead, per Denise.
Hope
Some fans are holding out hope for Carol and Daryl to become official in the future.
"Team Caryl, we are not over!" writers on Twitter user who, if their name is any indication, loves both Daryl actor Norman Reedus and Carol actress Melissa McBride quite a bit.
After the previously mentioned clip, some are hoping to see Carol and Daryl end up together in the end.
