#quarantine stories

i've downloaded zombies run & i'm three missions in & enjoying it so far, but it's also so Tragically and Hilariously clear how much this story was written in 2012. and how it was also less interested in subverting genre expectations than making you move your body (very fair!! given that that's what the game is designed for!!)

the two most egregious things in these first three eps are:

1. i was paired for a run with a coughing woman who insists she "just has a bad chest cold," and even though the camp supervisor firmly establishes that coughing is THE FIRST SYMPTOM of an infection, i'm instructed to go out running alone in the wilds with this lady. who's coughing. so much.

she keeps being like "it's just a cold 💕" while refusing to let anyone examine her and i'm like. YOU GUYS DONT HAVE QUARANTINE PROCEDURES?? PUT HER ASS SOMEWHERE AWAY FROM THE REST OF US?? DUDE??

2. it's then established that everyone at the camp is suspicious of me because other camps nearby have been torched after being visited by shady-ass secret-keepers very similar to myself. but i'm still allowed to roam around and do supply runs like it's nothing. the NPCs just mutter mutinously about me and make allusions to how i'm gonna get everyone killed.

PUT MY ASS IN QUARANTINE?!?!? DON'T LET ME LEAVE WITHOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS??? WHAT???? YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO GET A GRIP?!?!?!

the lack of quarantine, safety, and hardass procedures would be excusable if this was a hippie commune or solarpunk future or whatever, but it is Not. this is an AMC's walking dead style deal where the only people more dangerous than the zombies are the non-zombies.

so i'm like.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST RUGGED BASTION OF HUMANITY. WHAT ARE YOU DOIIINGGG.....

#zombies run #prepare for more posts with that tag if i feel so inclined #YOU CAN'T JUST NOT QUARANTINE PEOPLE IN THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IM GONNA CRYYY #NOTE: there's ten more years of story and 500 missions. i'm NOT genuinely upset about this or knocking the game. #i'm having fun and looking forward to seeing where future storylines go. i'm just also like Oh My God.

THRILLING news. one of our new baby rats sleeps like this

#bad news none of our other rats do it so it scares me every time #also yes it's a small cage it's their quarantine cage. they have a lovely 3 story waiting for them when we can do introductions #rats

begging solmare to stop insisting to us that EVERY mc would be most comfortable at the house of lamentation in nightbringer. The brothers aren’t the only romantic options. Why should an mc that, for instance, is in love with solomon (or is even just good friends with him)... the only character from their actual time... be forcibly told by the narrative that they’re more comfortable around versions of the brothers that are essentially strangers to them?

#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me nightbringer spoilers #obey me spoilers #also begging solmare to stop quarantining simeon and barbatos in the bonus story. i don't care!!! let me see and interact with THEM #& i've been tired of the lessons where we're forced to systematically interact with EVERY brother one by one for years #i'm sorry but it is just dry as hell to me #meanwhile the other characters are stuck with INCREDIBLY uneven scraps #no i DONT like being robotically forced to hug or kiss the characters my mc has no interest in #while i go sometimes over half of seasons without seeing the characters i actually care about romantic development for

yknow long covid is some bullshit. you're telling me i can't smell shit unless it's directly under my nose all because of a virus i had in 2019??? bullshit

#trying to do some carpet deep cleaning and i'm realizing i may not be the best person to determine if the carpet smells or not #im also the only one in my family who got it because i got it at college right before winter break #and then just kinda quarantined in my room because i felt awful and that's the story of the time i had covid #also goddddd i have trouble tasting sometime too #but yeah i hardly smell stuff and that's made me like. sensitive to scents??? #kinda like i don't experience them enough that if i smell #something bad then it REALLY is bad then

really disappointing.

#wilbur soot #i watched dsmp during quarantine and fell in love with l'manburg #since then i've moved on from mcyt but #those stories have definitely influenced my own writing #i listened to lovejoy and recommended it to friends #now ill never be able to look at what he has produced the same way. #ive removed lovejoy from all my playlists. #fuck you wilbur. #shelbysupportsquad #i wish shelby and everyone else harmed by him the best. #honestly finding out from tumblr a few hours ago hurt.

Currently Reading: Stories from Quarantine by The New York Times Magazine, previously published as The Decameron Project

Trying to get my brain to focus on a book and a series of short stories seemed to be the best bet. And the stories have been interesting and a little haunting so far.

Once done, I'll let you know which of the stories I enjoyed!

would love to do research into just how much of an uptick theres been in haunted house horror content since the pandemic started, like, numerically

#kaylee.txt #like obviously it makes sense bc. a large percent of the population being stuck in their houses in quarantine + a general sense of #paranoia and fear = perfect recipe for thinking a lot about haunted house stories #(i am obviously not exempt from this lmao i was obsessed w haunted houses pre-pandemic too but not to the same extent) #but im so curious what the numbers are for like. what % of horror books/movies released in a given year are haunted house-related #and if thats changed a significant amount #bc it FEELS like it has. i went to barnes and noble yesterday and there were no less than 4 haunted house books on the new releases display

it’s the placing of the other one’s name in the way he cropped it for his story that gets me

#detective voice: Sebastian. can I call you seb? yeah all right well you’ve got a lot of explaining to do. #*opens up a file folder with his three latest instagram posts* I mean come on. who are we kidding here? #three of your last posts? and the way some of them were cropped in the story. no no go ahead take a look. #and now…*slids over two photos* you’ve got mark and fernando in on it? I mean that doesn’t seem like you but dots are connecting… #anyway this is what you get from me after 4 days quarantine and I’m still somewhat sick amd just finished watching a 24 hr race #and I even got sleep in there!!!

1. Inflection Point (I finally chose. She's just so deeply special to me. I also think that was the first work of yours I read so, there's sentimentality there.)

2. Promise Ring (I don't want to talk about it. You're never allowed to write for Dino again /hj.)

3. Mirage (Mirage Wonwoo will always be famous to me.)

4. Haox (I love suffering so.)

5. Rush Hour (It's enemies to lovers of sorts and it's Hao. It also appeals to the exhibitionist in me. RJ geared content tbh.)

Honourable mention to Favorite Poison and Again and Again though.

THE EXHIBITIONIST INMEJRIFKEE and im not gonna lie i didnt expect you to actually pull up a list of ur top 5 kai fics 😭😭😭😭 ure too good for me,, what did i do to deserve someone like you,,,

#🍵 tea time #💘 mutuals #rj 🍷 #inflection point my first love!!! #im a poly one hit wonder #still have visceral emotions abt that jeongcheol specifically.... #🥺🥺🥺 and dont you want me to write chan into a less complicated love story #and it intrigues me how you like mirage so much !! #i think i wrote that on a rainy day when i was feeling a lot bored than usual in quarantine #(bc that was originally a fic for another fandom too!) #i love you so much what the fuck!

we need positive representation for people who came to terms with their sexuality or gender identity specifically because of the impact of minecraft youtubers 

#have i ever told you that the youtuber audio was a shift point for me and after that i came out to my brother #<- thats not the only way dream helped this process but it is a fun fact #like it is insane to think about how if there never was a lockdown and i never found this community #there's a good chance i'd still be identifying as straight #and it's also so lame because i cant exactly tell the story of how i knew so when people ask im just like oh you know #quarantine gave me time to think ^__^

good morning. we officially have world lore for the mbzAU

#it has all the good things an apocalypse universe should have imo #a corrupt sect of government poisoning the public #quarantined cities #media coverup & military interference #slaughter fields that are highly irradiated #we even have half & partial monsters!! #radiation obviously works a lil different in this universe than it would in real life but #it’s fine. i’m taking some liberties for the sake of the story ok #it’ll be good though. it is good. i think #i actually really enjoy working in this genre tbh #i should’ve done this way sooner #rainyrambles #dl

life was just never the same after listening to Oscar Isaac sing Never Had for a fairly mid romcom from 2011 and then watch an extremely moving performance of his as a sad folk singer in a 2013 drama

#poet’s think thoughts #in case you’re wondering how I spent 2020 quarantine #it was Oscar Isaac filmography and a lot of crying over the Star Wars franchise #oh and I wrote a crime story #inside llewyn davis #10 years #oscar isaac

[bangtanfancamp]
