Thinking about zombies

Zombies as grief

Zombies as consumerism

Zombies as forced conformity

Zombies as loss of identity

Zombies as inevitable change

Zombies as post-humanity

The apocalypse bringing out the best in some, yielding kindness in the face of futility, showing that hope is always worth clinging to and that fighting on is hope in itself even if you fail, to enjoy the little things moment to moment

The apocalypse revealing the ways we can become the monster we fear in the context of a changed world that never belonged to us

Zombies as cold brutality, showing that malice and intent isn't a prerequisite to violence and cruelty

Zombies as a vessel to prove that selfishness and obsession with dominance and control lead to one's undoing

Zombies as a vessel to prove that cooperation and adaptation is our defining trait, that the way to survive in a seemingly hopeless situation is to depend on one another and to hold on to humanity

Zombies provoking mercy, self sacrifice and unshakable compassion with no reward

Thinking about what these things mean in the COVID era

I love the versatility of zombie stories, and I wish so many didn't shelve them as "all trashy and cheap" when they can hold so much narrative value, no matter how "ugly" or "trashy" they seem on the surface

Feedback Fest 2024

For Feedback Fest 2024, 10 recs for the 10th anniversary of International Fanworks Day!

I decided to rec stories that have become basically canon to me - the ones I feel compelled to seek out when I'm hit by a craving for an unofficial sequel, or unofficial prequel, or additional scene that completes things, or something that wraps up a dangling thread perfectly. Multiple fandoms, arranged from shortest to longest in length, because why not.

The People's Servants by @cesperanza Fandom: The West Wing | Rating: G | Ship: Josh/Donna It's Big Block of Cheese Day in the Santos White House.

Pulling the Thorn by @dsudis Fandom: Die Hard | Rating: T | Ship: Matt/John There's a huge scar down the sole of John's left foot.

Mr Wooster and the Restorative Preparation by innocentsmith Fandom: Jeeves & Wooster | Rating: G | Ship: Jeeves/Wooster Jeeves finds himself a new situation. Pre-series, save for the very end.

Ancel’s Annotated Pillow Talk by aldiara Fandom: Captive Prince | Rating: E | Ship: Ancel/Berenger “Tell me what you would have said, as a pet,” asked Berenger, “and then tell me the truth. We’ll split the difference.” (A coda to the "Pet" short story.)

The Way Is Shut by 42AngryCymraeg Fandom: World War Z | Rating: T | Ship: none The first expedition to North Korea has returned. The news is… bad.

No Second Coming by Aria Fandom: The Dark is Rising | Rating: G | Ship: Bran/Will "But there's only me," Will said in sudden panic. "I have no one --" He stopped abruptly. "I must correct mistakes."

Aral Vorkosigan's Dog by @philomytha Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga | Rating: T | Ship: none Illyan is assigned to watch Aral Vorkosigan during the Escobaran war. Soon he has to choose between his duty and his conscience, and the consequences rapidly get beyond him.

here's the art i did for unnatural history channel's newest video on world war z!! it's based on a description from the book about a piece of surreal cave art depicting a zombie, so i tried to emulate irl cave and rock art, and included some text to make it resemble a figure from a real scientific paper.

World War Z is one of my favorite novels, but every time I reread it I am reminded of how painfully American it is. Very "third-way centrist," very "Democratic Liberal during the Bush years," very "I believe in America, we're the best country on Earth, let us show you the light." it is vehemently anticommunist, and plays the "both sides" card by having a character whose family suffered under Pinochet claim that imperialism and white hegemony are ghosts from a bygone era that developing nations need to get over; "far-left is just as bad as far-right, why can't we all just get along?"

A lot of the stories are interesting, and I want to do an in depth analysis of the timeline of the Great Panic someday, but this is a book that suggests Colin Fucking Powell would have been a great bastion of democracy and freedom, so I can't take any of the politics seriously anymore.

Iran becoming a nuclear nation and going to war with Pakistan

A Chinese civil war splits the PLA and dissolves the PRC, but not a single word is spoken about the multiple separatist movements in the United States after they were abandoned by the federal government for YEARS in zombieland (only that they were "given the option to be readmitted peacefully" when the feds came marching back)

Floridians turning Cuba into a "capitalist utopia" and Fidel Castro taking credit for the subsequent Cuban Evolution

Nelson Mandela personally signing off on an Apartheid-era plan to abandon half the country as human bait

The whole situation between Israel and Palestine (that is a can of worms I am neither qualified nor willing to dissect here)

Hollywood military propaganda gives people the will to live

The British royal family "shielding the soul" of the UK under the burden of their godlike mandate?!? (gag me with a fucking spoon...)

This book would be VERY different if it were written today. Published in 2006, it was obsessed with the Cold War but barely glossed over the War on Terror with one reference to "Gulf War 2" (Iraq) and a handful of references to a low-intensity "brushfire war" (Afghanistan) that ended in American victory by 2008, although a Pyrrhic one. I do not remember nor can I even imagine a time when ANYTHING within this book could be considered plausible outside the deepest fears and/or wettest dreams of the most diehard 'Mericans.

The more I get into it, the worst is sounds. I think I like the idea of the book more than the book itself now.

The prologue ends with a hint at an eventual sequel. The narrator says that a lot of people consider it too early to write a history book about a war that only just ended (and in fact is still being fought in some northern countries), and that it will take a few generations for people to fully process what happened. "Perhaps decades from now, someone will take up the task of recording the recollections of the much older, much wiser survivors." That is a book I would like to read; a retelling of WWZ with far less hero worship and characters who don't all sound like a 30-something American SNL writer.

Ok, I love reading already, but there's just something amazing about imagining reading out loud to your f/o, even better when they're as invested in the story as you are. They make little comments here and there as you read, paying close attention to your words and enjoying the comforting sound of your voice

I love you Zombie Apocalypses

I love stripping the humanity from the world and seeing what is left behind

I love the corruption of humanity and questioning when does something stop being human

I love moral dilemmas that become more than time sensitive because of how excruciatingly fast and unpredictable zombies are

I love decayed corpses that could never be more than a shambling mass of deadlines

I love almost human looking zombie that takes someone off guard and infects them

I love being unable to decide whether the mercy is killing someone before they turn or after

I love the horrifying idea that the human is still trapped within the husk of a corpse

I love alien zombies, fungal zombies, viral zombies

I love slow zombies that would probably never be an issue

I love fast zombies that are the most terrifying and lethal

I love infections that take hours to days to turn

I love infections that happen in a matter of seconds

I love you the inherent idea that if a zombie apocalypse happens that the world will only be filled with evil and that you never know who you can trust.

I love you deep horror zombies, and comedy zombies

#ash speaks!!! #zombies #tagging some of the most influential zombie media I've partaken in #telltale the walking dead #the last of us #zombie chasers #zombiekins #i loved her but she was a zombie #warm bodies #world war z #shawn of the dead #and the mother fucker that inspired this post #resident evil 7 #i used to be so terrified of zombies #zombie chasers caused that #my ass was so traumatized but now zombie media is a comfort for me #something about it is just so nostalgic and reliable it's ingrained into my being and i will never let it go #talk to me about zombies im so in love with them i really am theyre so fucked up and evil and thats why theyre the best

Is it weird that the main reason why I love zombie shows/ movies is just so I can see society collapse in chaos as humanity goes into a frenzy and slowly turn on eachother?
