Fusion Dance:

FF in the zombie apocalypse

Fluent Freshman AU | Unusual Fic Asks

I need you to understand what this has done to me. 1. I didn't think anyone was going to ask about FF for some reason and 2. The concept of FF in the apocalypse is so funny to me because I write a lot of him based off of me and I have ALWAYS told anyone who asks that if an apocalypse happens I am not the plucky young lass doing whatever it takes to survive type. (Like I get word that One Piece is cancelled because Oda got eaten it's like 'ok I gotta go ask that man some QUESTIONS in the after life' and I'm OUT. I just don't have that drive in me!)

BUT FF is that kind of guy.

---

FF had been ready for the end of the world for ages. He'd felt the world quake and tear itself apart plenty of times. The first time had been after the car accident. The second time had been when he realized his mother wasn't going to stand up for him. The third was when she said "I do" to a man who hadn't made it a secret what he thought about FF.

The end of the world kept happening for him, so it was almost bizarre when finally everyone else agreed that it had happened.

He didn't really pay attention to the news, only to the increasing anxiety around campus as more and more infections occurred and there were talks about locking down the campus. His anxiety ramped higher and higher until he found himself in a state that he hated. A state where it was all so much that he lost the ability to feel anything at all.

The numbers kept climbing, the infections growing closer, and FF couldn't calm down enough to feel anything.

Then a Palmetto student was bitten and weirder it was someone he had known if only because they played on the same team.

He dodged out of the way of Jack's open mouth as he heard Sheena scream. His senses for an unexpected back attack had been heightened from years of dealing with his step brothers and further from the mindless bloodlust of Black Friday shoppers.

Jack lunged for him again.

"No cure - 100% fatal at biting stage" flashed on the TV in the lounge yesterday. "Self-Defense Recommended" the news anchor said numerous times.

He couldn't bring himself to do it though.

Aaron walked into the hallway and Jack's attention turned. He lunged mouth open and-

FF found the courage to swing down his Racquet.

Sheena just kept screaming as she ran out of the hallway.

Aaron looked shocked looking between FF and Jack on the ground.

"The infection has hit Palmetto." FF says with a deep breath trying not to feel sick, "I'm not staying on campus." he says wondering how many more students had broken quarantine like Jack.

"Where are you planning to go?" Aaron asks giving Jack's body a wide berth as he stepped around it.

"My grandma lives in Washington State. It's pretty rural. I'll go there." He says because she's stood by him through every other end of the world. If this is the one that takes then he wants to be sitting next to her.

"Sounds better than sitting here." Aaron says with a shrug and FF could see that he was shaking from what he'd just seen.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." FF says because he knows what Aaron had done to protect his brother. Aaron looks at him with wide eyes, "He was past the point where he might have been saved. We can't hesitate." he says because that's what the news anchor had said.

Aaron takes a long and shaking breath and nods.

FF nods back to him before turning and heading in the opposite direction of the exit that Sheena had run towards. He heard Aaron's footsteps following him, well this is embarrassing that they're going the same way.

"Where are you going now?" Aaron asks.

"CVS." FF answers.

"Smart, medical supplies." Aaron agrees.

Oh, that is also a good plan. FF was just planning on taking a shopping basket and knocking every last bottle of Pepto Bismol into it. "Yes." he says.

"I'll text Andrew." Aaron says and for the love of god FF did not know what he would be texting him. "Hey, thanks...for uh...saving me." he says.

They haven't decided how to charge people quite yet for the Infection self-defense cases.

"Don't mention it." he says and honestly wishes he could tell Sheena the same.

[compacflt]

COMPACFLT, ma’am, you’ve absolutely wrecked me with: “My father—my father was kind”. I can’t even tell you exactly why, but that just struck right in the chest with the force of a sledgehammer, gosh. If it’s alright with you, could you please share your headcanons about Ice and Mav’s fathers? I know I’m, like, quoting your own work back to you but I can’t help it: “Well, dead pilot dads, that’s one thing we have in common.” —But do they? Or is one dead pilot dad vastly different from the other?

ice’s dad (Thomas kazansky sr.): asshole army major OH-6 and UH-1 pilot who got shot down over Vietnam in 1967. son of far-eastern-european immigrants. anti-commie. wanted ice to ALSO be a chopper pilot in the army, so ice went navy instead. daredevil dipshit who died & left ice’s mom alone with two young kids & whose death encouraged ice away from breaking the rules or being unsafe (esp. in the air). not necessarily a great person or a great father but died when ice was 8 so also not a huge influence on his life (i know val kilmer has said ice’s father was a big influence… I’ve written elsewhere about why i personally shifted ice’s narrative away from daddy issues and more towards Navy authority in general issues, in light of ice’s character and rank in tgm. GOD i need a master post sorry, but i think you can find it if you search “edts notes” on my blog and scroll for a while). ice’s LACK of a father -> no man to model himself on -> overcompensating & not getting it exactly right (doesn’t know how to talk to other men) -> maverick immediately clocks him as gay -> the plot of my fic.

Maverick’s dad (peter “duke” mitchell sr.): a genuinely awesome person. funny & kind, warm & loving, a truly good father & a great fighter pilot. big american patriot. Comes from a long long line of us navy personnel—maverick has the navy family name & the pedigree ice, as a second generation american, does not. Im still not sure who raised maverick—it’s one of those things I don’t have a strong opinion on, so it could go either way (i posited in the airplane one-shot that he was raised by relatives, aunt & uncle, but I know it’s a popular hc here that he was a foster kid—all equally plausible to me) but I do think he grew up exceedingly bitter, hearing about how great his dad was and how there was just no way! his dad could’ve failed the Navy the way he supposedly did, because he was just such a good person… there’s a real bitterness about original maverick that TGM maverick kind of lost. His bitterness only shows during the “it’s not the plane it’s the pilot” “EXACTLY” exchange (incidentally the scene that gave me the idea that Bradley thinks mav pulled his papers bc he’s openly gay…it’s the pilot not the plane, ouch). but i still think maverick is like deeply deeply bitter about how the navy handled his fathers death, which is what the excerpt i posted on wednesday is actually about—he confesses to ice how disillusioned he has been with the navy as an institution since he found out the truth about his father’s heroism. I know i just just just said that Maverick’s patriotic conservatism is his reason for existence in the meta “why we make mil propaganda movies” sense, and i stand by that, but i think on a human character level there probably has to be a little bit of deep-seated resentment towards the Navy for smearing his father’s good name and his own good name in the process. My maverick grew up a good Christian kid, called himself peter jr. after his good guy father, who never broke ANY rules until he was radicalized by not getting into the academy (“punish the son for the sins of his father”) and basically lost his mind for 30+ years. “If my family name automatically makes me a sinner in the navy’s eyes, then I might as well sin anyway.”

#i really don’t like Maverick’s character in tgm #which has been dulled down and his original motivation forgotten (upset at not getting into the USNA) #for the sake of…. pulling his OWN son’s papers from the USNA??? #to serve the mil propaganda movie aim of recruitment as ive written about elsewhere on this blog #i tried to rectify this in my fics but it also meant that my exTREMELY bitter maverick is at odds with #the gentle soft-spoken slightly neutered maverick TGM actually presents us with #🤷🏽‍♀️ imo the bigger narrative evil is making maverick pull Bradley’s papers (punish the son for the sins of his father) so that was my main #fix-it priority. #mav’s bitterness is a side-effect of Bradley’s papers getting pulled anyway #yes to some extent they all have daddy issues #but i think it’s more complicated than that #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #top gun maverick #bradley rooster bradshaw #and also yeah i know it’s cool to make ice like representative of navy lineage but #imo theres a reason they gave him a Russian name in the 1980s. like.. he’s the semi antagonist #It’s overt Cold War propaganda. he is Soviet-coded. hes meant to invoke anti-american sentiment. #so personally I shifted ice away from navy lineage… he’s from an immigrant family he has a lot to prove and a lot standing in his way #ive written about icemav & religion but if i haven’t made it clear: the Navy is their religion.

KID FORTRESS POSTING LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

First reference sketches !! Woooo yay :] Image text is written out in the image disc btw

wanted to get the biggest and smallest drawn first, both their names start with M how fun is that?? yeaahjg cool. They’re both autistic,, Misha makes food for Mickey because they’re always hungry , where does it all go ,,they’re as big as a garden gnome .

Little guy. Love sniper. Uh h they both have a lot in common!! They both like going outdoors, even if the Oregon climate is a lot different than what they’re used too. They both don’t talk much, preferring to sit together in silence while they do their own things. They both really miss their families, and while Misha’s send him gifts and letters quite frequently, Mick doesn’t have anybody to go back to. Misha treats them with a lot of gentleness and patience compared to his other cabin-mates, and Mick really looks up to Misha, imitating a lot of his hobbies and mannerisms.

I would love to infodump more about their relationship but I need to sleep goodnight

#tf2 #tf2 fanart #kid fortress 2 #heavy tf2 #tf2 sniper #daffys drawings #sniper does that penguin pebbling shit #bringing cool feathers and rocks to heavy hell yeah #heavy keeps them all in a little box he’s very sentimental #also yeah so sorry for the google translate Russian I was too tired to fact check it

Hiyaaaaa for the character ask number 2 for ur man Rodya

DOSTY READERS UNITE BTW!!

omggg, thanks a lot, I was rotting in my bed and this literally made me get up and sit on my desk to answer lmaooo.

thanks for playing with me ☺️✨

ok, so number 2 is: Favorite canon thing about this character?

and how can I begin to talk about what I like about Rodya if he literally makes me go:

but let’s start with the most logical thing, and that Dosty slaps our faces with from the very first chapter:

“He was remarkably handsome, with beautiful dark eyes and dark, chestnut-coloured hair; he was taller than average, slim and well-built.”

umm…hello? that’s not Rodya, that’s my type lol!

and a brief parenthesis, is that that’s the reason why I’m so in love with the Soviet Union 1970 portrayal aaaa

but beyond those girlie thoughts…

one of my favourite canon things about him is his family life. i know we are not told that much about it, but when his mother tells him that he used to cry and mourn his father’s death along with her, it just hit hard 😭 I made a little post about it here heheh. but I pretty much like how his mother and sister long for him because that means he was loving and caring with them, and he was just having a very bad day (if it can be said like that). aaaand I think we also acknowledge that with the way he threatens Luzhin when he talks poorly about Dunya and Pulcheria, like even in his worst moments, he was unable to stop thinking about their well-being.

also the way he thinks high of almost everyone else, even if on the outside he is just like “meh” about them. like when he tells Razumikhin that he knows he is a good person and very hardworking, I mean, one would have thought that he is just annoyed by his presence, but no, he is so aware of his good ways, he even entrusts his family with him 😭

and of course the way he is so selfless and even if it is during his strange rushes, he doesn’t hesitate to help others.

I think I also like the way he is, somehow, look in for love and understanding? (or idk, that’s how i read it 😭) like his relationship with the landlady’s daughter, and when he got closer to that prostitute on the street and just told her shyly she was very pretty, like please 😭😭😭😭💔

me, all along this post, basically lmao:

so, long story short, because he’s handsome heheh, and he is, in essence, a good guy, he’s redeemable, caring, and I can fix him 😭

✨Dosty readers unite, indeed!✨

#crime and punishment #fyodor dostoevsky #raskolnikov #russian literature #literature #classic #fydor dostoevsky #rodion romanovich raskolnikov #my babygirl rodya #crime and punishment 1970 #thanks a lot btw! i really like this silly little ask games ☺️ #i also propose she reunite under the hashtag Dostogirlies lol #so happy to have such cool mutuals tho

[namu-the-orca]

So, I'm just cleaning up my art folder now... I hope you like seeing the old stuff I pull from there lol. I think this is one of the first animations I tried? Or at least one where I tried a more simple scheme. It worked cause it's shit simple but I do think it's cute. Also the file is literally called "super cool bee-eater" so it has that going for it.

#animations #animation #little bee-eater #bee-eater #Merops pusillus #Merops #bird #there's some better stuff coming soon promise! #I still have the big Salmon poster to upload #just felt a bit weird to PLONK it down here after being quiet for so long #but that's up next #I also have a really cool steam engine painting to upload which I am soooo proud of #HOWEVER #it is a Russian steam loco and even though that's not the loco's fault I kind of fear people's responses #and fear that would ruin the actual artwork enjoyment #at the same time I feel silly for even worrying about this

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Я другом твоим хочу стать - I want to become your friend

Дай побольше о тебе узнать - Let me know more about you

Будем вместе мы играть - We will play together

То, что в письме - лучше не знать - What's in the letter - better not to know

Задаю тебе вопросы: - Asking you questions

Зима, лето или осень? - Winter, summer or autumn?

Твоя любимая еда? - What's your favorite food?

Какое имя у зверька? - What's the name of your beastie? (as in like. small animal. it rhymes in russian i promise.)

[Pre-Chorus]

Доверься мне, мы же друзья - Trust me, we are friends after all

И ты со мною до конца - And you with me untill the end

Я всё узнаю про тебя - I will find out everything about you

От меня не скроешься - Can't hide away from me

В моих руках твои друзья - Your friends are in my hands

Ты их забудешь навсегда - You will forget them forever

Ведь у тебя есть только я - Because you have only me

И только я, и только я - And only me, and only me

[Chorus]

Бесконечное веселье - Everlasting fun

Только лишь для нас двоих - Only for us two

С тобой найдём мы увлеченье - With you we'll find devotion

О проблемах позабыв - All problems forgotten

[Verse 2]

С возвращением, друг - Welcome back, friend

Кажется был завершён сеанс - Seems like our seance was cut short

Но ты не бойся, коли вдруг - But don't fear, if that's so

Смогу восстановить баланс - I can fix the balance

Осталось сделать одну вещь - Only one thing left to do

В админ состав меня вовлечь - In admin list include me

В командную строку набрать: - Type into cmd:

“Кинито дать твой комп зас—” - Give Kinito my pc- (wow i accidentally made it rhyme. anyways, back to blank verse)

[Break]

Давай, давай, пиши! - Come on, come on, write!

Комп мне свой уступи! - Give your PC to me! (it uses Russian rude-ish-sland for the word computer but that is most likely for song purposes bc it only has one vowel while computer is a long word in both languages

Я не вирус! - I'm not a virus!

Я не вирус! - I'm not a virus!

[Chorus]

Бесконечное веселье - Everlasting fun

Только лишь для нас двоих - Only for us two

С тобой найдём мы увлеченье - With you we'll find devotion

О проблемах позабыв - All problems forgotten

Бесконечное веселье - Everlasting fun

Только лишь для нас двоих - Only for us two

Нам не скучно - это правда - We're not bored - that's the thuth (technically better in future lang like "we won't get bored" but in song was present bc song purpouses so i will leave it like that in literal translation)

Разве не согласен ты? - Dont you agree?

[Bridge]

А теперь… Дай мне доступ! - And now... Give me access!

Мы же друзья! - We are friends after all!

Скажи, ну хоть раз - Tell me, even once

Подвёл я тебя? - Have I let you down? (also technically in the present tense here but yeah...)

[Outro]

Целый мир, здесь я и ты - This whole world, for me and you (orig. "The whole world, here's me and you")

Места нет для скукоты - No place for boredom here

Всё подстроил под тебя - Everything i arranged for you

Теперь системой правлю я - Now the system's ruled by me

if ya are native/just really good in english i'll be happy if you check it for any mistakes or propose better/rhyming translation! that's just the meaning mosly word-by-word (:

#mostly for me and my comic-drawing urge #but yeah posting for every cool English speaker who wants to know what the hell he's saying (: #special thanks to multitran aka the best russian-english dictionary #kinitopet #kinito pet #kinitopet song #kinitopet rus song #just wanna mention that im actually a eng-to-rus translator for some manhwa #and i write my fanfics in two languages simultaneously bc half of my friends does not speak english and other half does not speak russian #so i feel confident posting this #/hj. this body did not see confidence from the last two years B) #also i usually translate from English. not to English. feels weird.

[queenlucythevaliant]

While my mind's on Russian lit: my mom recently started reading Dostoevsky's White Nights (a favorite of mine) and basically her response after reading the first two nights was something to the effect of "wow, the narrator really is sad and kinda pathetic, huh?" And I was like, yeah. That's Dostoyevsky. If you're not down to read a whole whole lot about sad, pathetic men philosophizing then I really don't know what to tell you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#but the thing is that! Dostoyevsky got so popular in large part bc young men really /saw/ themselves in these characters #Petersburg was full of sad pathetic men eager to see themselves represented in fiction #and let's be honest: that impulse is still alive and well today #i relate too #he tapped into something real... #russia where are you flying to? #pontifications and creations #literature makes us more human #my mom was the one who first got me going on classic lit and thus i have so much fun when she goes for one of my recs #it also turned into a fun discussion of the extremely tragic lives of various russian writers so that was cool

[freyjuseggr]

how the hell do you decide on what language to learn?

#like. ive been wanting to pick up german again but then im like oh i should learn yiddish instead #and then im like huh but biblical hebrew would actually have more applications #but then also my gf is interviewing for a phd that would involve travel and so will be learning russian #and i think all of those are rlly cool and fun ideas but. how the fuck do i choose?
