I’ve never watched z nation before. What is it about/would you recommend it?

The premise is that the main antagonist (Murphy) gets injected with an experimental vaccine against the HZN1 (zombie) virus, and becomes the only person in the entire world with working antibodies against it. He is delivered accidentally to a group of survivors who become tasked with getting him safely from New York to California, so that a vaccine can be made and distributed to everyone that's left, despite the fact that Murphy does not want to do this. However, it has become the main protagonist's (Roberta) sworn duty, so he's going to Cali whether he likes it or not. Shenanigans ensue.

It is, for the most part, a light-hearted zombie show. Hope is a member of the group, traveling at their side from beginning to end. The group becomes a family, even when they are separated. They lose their way a few times, and get dragged back by the others. There are whacky adventures, but in the nice self-indulgent sort of way. I enjoy the diversity of the cast; the group is led by a black woman, the main protagonist is queer (and there are two more queer folk in the main group), they have a range of ages, and they pick up or meet all sorts of people along the way (this is actually often the case with Asylum films, I have found, they tend to have a pretty interesting group for the cast which is GREAT because I'm faceblind and having different shapes and colors means I can actually tell who's who as opposed to media cast entirely of square faced white boys and blonde white girls I absolutely cannot tell apart). It focuses largely on the plot and doesn't really do romance, it barely touches on sex (especially post S1), which is refreshing especially since there's clearly tons of LOVE going on, just not romantic love.

IMO it's a good show, and if you like the genre of media it's in, then I would absolutely recommend giving it a shot. It starts pretty good, and only improves from there; I actually think S5 was the best one. It's got excellent characters and good character development, it's got a good (if completely unhinged) plot, it's got a happy ending that satisfied me. It is a FUN show and that's evident in every part of it; you can definitely tell the writers had fun, the actors were enjoying it, special and practical effects people went ham… like there's a lot of love evident.

#z nation #asks #I will warn you that it has zombie-media-typical gore #you know like zombies being dead and putrefiying #kill shots not always being clean affairs #the occasional graphic zombie stuff #I have no ability to judge this on a scale #because it doesn't bother me in the least #I watch a lot of horror movies/tv and sci fi so #I've just gotten over it #If you wanna message me aside I can also alert you to any #like #squicks or triggers you may individually hold if I can remember #happy to spoil anything you need spoiled ahead of time #happy to keep my mouth shut otherwise #also!!! check out my z nation tag and I've talked more in depth #about some of the plot and characters

seeing so many videos on YT lately that are like “I read this dark romance book and i’m calling the police” or some condescending put-down derivative

babe if it’s not for you then put it down and find something new to read nobody wants an hour-long video of you yucking someone’s yum

#tired of people acting holier than thou bc something goes against the norm #leigh speaks #if it's bad then who gives a shit honestly #have we learned nothing #there will always be an audience for something #'if it doesn't have a happy ending then i don't want it'#eat! my! ass!#this sounds super aggro sorry but this is like the third video like this i've inexplicably had recommended to me this week #if you don't like dark romance then fine i hope someone picks you at last be on your merry way #but just bc it squicks you out doesn't mean it isn't valid to someone else #listen i hated 50 shades as much as anyone else back in the day and then at one point i realized #this is a lot of people's favorite book and i don't have to agree with them but it also isn't fair to make them feel shitty over it #so i ignored it and moved on and stopped dogpiling onto it bc i wasn't the audience for it and! that's! ok!#not to say that it wasn't problematic bc it was but that's veering from the topic #most if not all dark romance is problematic anyway but! it's FICTION and people forget that #like come on feysand started out preetttttyyyy problematic in acotar and bc of its origins i do consider it partly a dark romance #look at me writing an essay here when i should be working on other stuff ok i'm done

i’m starting to suspect that i just fucking suck 🤔 unsure yet though, but there are lots of signs already pointing to this... gotta mean something 🧐

#not to imply anything and didn’t want to vague-post but i really don’t think i have the right to complain #i mean people say a lot of kind words to me. and i cherish them #and i know it’s just post-publishing depression #or how should i call it #i don’t really want more comments? but maybe i want to know which thing squicks people the most about my writing #i know my biggest problem is the characterization and i want to discuss this so bad #please tell me where i fuck up. please tell me how you see these characters interacting. please give me more food for thought #i just want to talk about the chatacters i think about for several months #ok i’ll. i’ll try to get over myself #💪😞#i know asking for opinions is not the answer because i should figure this out myself #and i’ve started kind of. analyze every canon scene a bit deeper.#if that would make the difference... we shall see #though i think the people who’d be able to tell me what’s wrong just. don’t go that far into the story lol #understandable. don’t blame them #fuck okay that’s quite enough of tags for now. i should go to sleep. maybe it’ll be easier after #sorry you had to witness this. i’m not well in my head

what’s the weirdest doodle request you’ve gotten you’d be willing to share?

not that i WOULD put anyone on blast, but i also havent gotten any very out there ones, at least for what i've shared on this blog.

#idk if something is Out There enough to squick me i just delete it #but more likely it probably just doesnt hit me in the Brain Goo and make me go “!!!”#fangsasks #idk ive done LOTS of weird stuff for comms so my weirdness barometer is also probably not pinged that much as a result #my metrics are skewed maybe

so um. I want to kiss you.

but I’m already committed to my spouse. and instead I will say thank you thank you thank you for those fic recs!- I read literally every single one and also some by the same authors- if you have any other recs even have as good (wether they adhere to what I originally asked for or not) I would love them!! But mainly just thanks!

lol, you're very welcome!!! and i have plenty more recs where that came from--funnily enough, when my friend started listening to TMA i started compiling a list of fic recs for her! it's...a very long list. i wasn't kidding when i said i read entirely too much Magnus fanfiction (jmart or not)

but anyway! without further ado, here's a bunch more recs:

The Sea Calls Me Home by EN123, T summary: When Martin Blackwood takes a job working at Peter Lukas's estate, in the highlands of Scotland, he meets an odd man down by the shore, who looks at him like no one ever has. This man proves to be another secret Martin Blackwood must keep, for more reasons than one.

To be so sure of a love the world denies is a heavy burden to bear. But bearing it was, and will always be, a choice. And it's one Martin has chosen.

A Home For What Loves You by TheWrongShop, T summary: It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited".

Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

a consideration of tropes by gruhukens, T summary: "Do you know much about cataloguing?" Jon asks, a little out of breath from the stairs.

Martin, mid-trolley, rolls his eyes. The gesture he makes at the shelves around him is only emphasised by the book he's holding.

"What exactly do you think I do here, other than sit around and wait for angry patrons to yell at me?"

"Think of what you're going to yell back?" Jon says, and Martin's mouth twitches into a smile.

Asking the very important question: what if Jon and Martin had a gentle archives/library romance, and kept running into tropes? What if there was mutual pining involved? Only one bed? Fake dating? Hurt/comfort? Or perhaps, a soft and happy ending?

wake me up (wake me up inside) by IceEckos12, G summary: "No, I won't bother you for long," Elias said politely. "Just checking up on my favorite writer's club."

"Your only writer's club," Daisy muttered under her breath. Jon bit down on a laugh.

"Anyway," Elias continued smoothly, resting his hands on the back of Basira's chair while Daisy gave him the most acidic side eye ever known to mankind. "How's the most recent chapter?"

"Very good!" Tim said enthusiastically. "I'm about to get eaten."

"Death is imminent for us all," Sasha added with gravitas.

Jon's Moving Castle by IceEckos12, T summary: Martin Blackwood may not have a perfect life, but he does have a good one. That is, until a series of magical encounters leave him with an unfortunate curse. Out of other options, he goes to the wizard who lives in the moving castle for aid.

Life never goes how he intends it to, though.

This Lonely Knight by arthureameslove, M summary: Martin couldn't remember exactly when or why he'd joined the Knights of the Lonely. He supposed that was by design.

Knights of the Lonely weren't meant to last long. They were built to take blows, and if necessary, they were built to die. He supposed that suited him fine.

But upon an assignment to escort the Watcher's betrothed to the Kingdom of Beholding, Martin began to realize that, perhaps, there was something he was missing. Perhaps it was in the shape of a person with bright, intelligent eyes and acerbic wit, with prickly edges and a gentle smile when he thought no one was looking.

There was only one problem. He wasn't meant to let the Watcher's betrothed reach the kingdom alive.

The Unknown Watcher by arthureameslove, T summary: The world has changed, and Martin knows the new rules as well as anyone. The monsters come when the sun sets, so you best be home before then. Blast your lights, barricade your doors. Don't come out until morning. When Martin inadvertently stays out past sunset, he flees his monstrous pursuers and stumbles upon the Magnus Estate, eerie and seemingly abandoned, in the middle of the woods.

Inside is a man with a monstrous face and glowing eyes, who insists Martin is the key to turning the world back.

Or, a Beauty and the Beast au--tma style ;)

The Sharkivist is In by ArtificialDaydreams, G summary: "The shark was sitting in his desk chair when Jon opened his office door. Actually sitting in it, with a "hello my name is" sticker stuck to it with "Jonathan Swims, Head Sharkivist" written on it in black marker."

What if Jon has one of those plush blåhaj sharks from ikea?

i finally did a coffee shop au by probsnothawkeye, T (series, 9 works) summary of part 1: At least once a week the man came in and ordered tea, taking it to the table by the window and sitting there for an hour. He would flip between checking his phone and looking out the window, clearly waiting for someone to show up. Every time, without fail, the man would leave after an hour, a sad, dejected look on his face, only to turn up again in the next couple days and repeat the cycle all over again.

Jon continuously gets stood up at the cafe Martin works at. What happens when Martin finally talks to the sad man who keeps getting stood up?

Déjà Vu by CirrusGrey, T summary: Sasha remembers being unmade. Tim remebers being unknown. Jon and Martin remember being unwound. All of them think they're the only one. -------- The S1 crew wakes up in the past with memories up till the moment they died.

Archive Poltergiests by vanroesburg, T summary: "...did you need something, Martin?" Jon asked.

"Oh, uh, no, sorry, I was just wondering if- if you needed anything else? Biscuits, or help transporting anything?" Martin gave another flash of a nervous smile. This was normal behaviour, Martin was behaving normally.

Jon shook his head, but he did pick up the mug of tea, which Martin counted as a win. "No, Martin, all I need is your research on cases #0121102 and #0112905. Thank you very much," Jon said primly, taking a sip of the tea.

His face promptly scrunched up. His eyebrows knit together, he drew up his nose in disgust, and the twist of his mouth couldn't be interpreted as anything except utter distaste. God, Jon's face. This was better than he imagined.

Okay, act normal.

"Oh my god, Jon, is something wrong?! What just happened?" Martin asked, maybe laying the concern on a little thick.

Jon spluttered, confused for a moment before glaring at Martin, "What happened is your bloody tea's--"

Time to sell it.

"The tea?" Martin said, cutting Jon off quickly. He swiped the mug from Jon's desk, took a swig and swallowed it. God that was awful. He'd need to wash his mouth out after this. "What's wrong with it? It tastes fine."

do the stars gaze back? by bluejayblueskies, G summary: As they walk to the market, Martin considers just how unfamiliar all of this is to him. It's a rare occurrence to even hear about a celestial spirit visiting the earthly plane. He knows that the number of times he's seen Jon, much less spoken to them, is far beyond anything in anything in recorded history.

Because Jon is--for all intents and purposes--a star. And Martin has quite an impressive crush on them. It should maybe be terrifying, or at the very least remind him of just how very far out of his league Jon is. Instead, it's ... really quite wonderful. Jon is wonderful.

And now, Martin is going to go grocery shopping with them.

Or, Martin lives in a little seaside town and meets Jon, a celestial spirit with a fondness for books and human customs. He falls in love with them, even knowing that it's ill-advised and there's no way that Jon could love him in return.

... Is there?

snowed in by Athina_Blaine, T summary: "Do you think it's selfish? Trying to be happy?"

The snow is falling. Martin and Jon find themselves forced to stay for the night.

The Power of Self Respect by IceEckos12 & PitViperOfDoom, T summary: Jon's life has never been easy, but he's now in a place where he has friends, his job isn't wretched, and best of all, he's dating Martin Blackwood. Things are finally starting to turn around for him, so of course that's when he learns that he must defeat Martin's seven exes in order to stay with him.

There's something fishy about this whole thing, Jon is sure of it. But the only way to find out what is to throw down the gauntlet and fight for his love.

found this cute guy on the merry-go-round? by abeebumbling, T summary: Martin Blackwood hadn't meant to stick to the merry-go-round job for so long. It was boring, very boring, the music whiny once you've listened to it a hundred times, so anything even mildly interesting stood out like a sore thumb. Jonathan Sims being on the verge of a mental breakdown turned out to be one of those things.

alright! fifteen fics, mostly jmart but also some gen and some background ships. i love all of these fics a lot and i hope you do too!

#friday chats #fic recs #the magnus archives #there's plenty more where this came from so feel free to ask for more! i'll read almost anything tma-related #the one main exception is jmart smut; i headcanon jon as sex-averse/repulsed and don't like reading that sort of thing #no hate to those who headcanon differently though!#i just won't have any fics like that bc it squicks me out a lot #also: a lot of these fics are...Quite Long lol. hope that's okay. if not there's a handful of oneshots in here too

how do you feel about papa shipping? (like papa iii x copia)

I can see this getting more traction in the fandom space, but I can say I personally don't like it and I do have the tagged blocked.

People can ship whatever they want, write what they like, and draw what they like. Even if you may not like it, someone else might like it for [insert reason, which may even be 'I think it's neat']. If you do not like something, block tags, block users, etc. Just I find it's best to do not to interact with that stuff for your own mental health, if you really want to vent about it, I'm sure you have a friend or two you can communicate it with. That's what I find is a healthy way to do it.

Please stop harassing blogs, cause that's only going to do things worse for your own mental health and for the other users as well.

#this was all over my dash #And I had to unfollow some moots for my own mental well-being and that's okay #I am a lil sad but that's on me and I didn't block em cause I know they're good peeps but seeing the posts are real bad for me #incest/incest adjacent stuff just squicks me out a lot #it's a me sweaty #sweaty asks

Self-shippers please do not interact with my art. I will block you

#you do you but it makes me uncomfortable #there’s probably plenty of other artists that are fine with it #a lot of my art is pretty personal for me and it just squicks me out when someone looks at it and tries to make it for them #or for their fantasies

Damn, Im so conflicted rn. I've left a few quite lengthy, rambling comments on this fic and received very, Very lovely replies from the author, who seems to have loved my comments, so I wanna leave one on the new chapter too, but... There's been a very strong hinting -- well, more than just hinting, really -- for something that squicks me out within the dynamic of this ship and I'm--

I dunno, Im kinda invested in the story and I think I'd read more, maybe just skipping those parts if/when they come, but at the same time, Im not sure if it won’t squick me out too much in the future and Im also not sure if it’s something I should mention in the comment... I tend to enthusiastically ramble about everything that comes to mind and always make sure to praise all the parts I liked, but leaving that part out -- which seems pretty important overall -- would feel dishonest...

So, would it be better if I just didn’t comment? Kinda disappeared from the radar so if I do end up not being able to read in the future, at least I haven't left anything that might've been potentially upsetting in the comment? Im honestly unsure what I would prefer myself as an author and I also have no idea what's the general consensus on these things 😪 Any thoughts, y'all?

#Raksh posts #on comments #on commenting #fanfiction #Ive been getting better at finally leaving some comments on the vegaspete fics Im reading #or at least some of them #but if Im reading a particular fic I promise I Will leave a comment at some point!#not sure if I should put this in the tag #but I know there’s lots of y'all lovely authors here on tumblr and Id appreciate your thoughts on it very much!#to maybe give some more background on the squicking out matter -- it's about switching #Im very set in how I like my ship dynamics so when it deviates from it too much it usually squicks me out 😣#I tend to have all the tags for it blocked so there's lesser chance I happen upon it but - well #Ive already started reading this fic and got invested...#of course Im not trying to tell anyone how they should enjoy the ship or write or anything!#go off y'all!#its just a squick that I have ;/#sooooo... yeah #dunno what to do now because I do want to leave a comment when I can ehhh #might delete this post or the tag if it upsets anyone #that's definitely not my intention!#but Id appreciate any thoughts 💗

Hi Pia! I read all your non-o-verse stories and now I am lost. Because you have so much more, but I hate a-b-o dynamic? Yesterday you wrote to user who said that they like a lot of everything I hate, and you wrote you don't quite like it eather. idk if it appropriate to ask of you, but could you kinda explain to people who don't like omegaverse why could I enjoy it from you?I hope it isnt rude. damn. sorry if it is(((but your writing is so amazing, rich and full of life..but I am afraid..(sorry!

Hi anon,

I didn't understand all of your message (I'm not sure what non-o-verse means at all) but I'll do my best with what I do.

Because you have so much more, but I hate a-b-o dynamic?

I'm confused. Less than 5% of my writing online is omegaverse or a/b/o? So unless you've read 95% of my writing and have encountered Underline the Black, if you have most of the other writing to read, none of it will be omegaverse. There's only one series online that I've written which is omegaverse and that's the one I'm writing at the moment. Nothing else is.

You don't have to read something you don't enjoy re: Underline the Black, it's only a tiny proportion of my writing online anyway!

idk if it appropriate to ask of you, but could you kinda explain to people who don't like omegaverse why could I enjoy it from you?

The thing is, I can't really do this, and I don't think it's my job to convince you to read or like something you've just told me you hate. And I don't know why you hate it, so I can't tell you why you'd enjoy my version of an omegaverse.

I can speak about it a little more broadly though.

People don't like omegaverse for a lot of different reasons. And people like me who do love omegaverse love it for a lot of different reasons. hundreds of reasons. It would be like saying 'what do people get out of romance stories?' Aside from the happy ending, it could be literally anything. So my answer to you is people like it for 'literally any reason.' You could look at any other kind of story you like, think about why you like it, and that's why people like omegaverse. They're just not squicked by it, so it's not complicated for them to enjoy it (for the most part). As soon as you're squicked by something, it doesn't matter how many things it has that you enjoy, you're going to be squicked, lol.

There's no universal omegaverse tropes beyond having alphas, betas, and omegas (or just alphas and omegas sometimes). I've published omegaverse stories with no sex. I've written omegaverse stories with sex but no sex during heats. I've read things in omegaverse that people don't expect to read and I've read the tropes and enjoyed them too. And there's lots of different reasons, but mostly I like angst, I like hurt/comfort, I like dubcon, I like trans and nonbinary metaphors even if they're clumsy, I like stories of self-acceptance, and you know what, I like those across genre, not just in omegaverse.

I'll be honest anon, I'm not really interested in selling you some 'special unique' version of omegaverse that I'm writing, because I like the classic tropes too, and I can't guarantee that I'm not going to put in things into this story which you're going to hate. I may have already done it. Idk why omegaverse squicks you personally, but chances are I'll write or already have written one of those things at least once, lol.

I'm not writing anything special or unique. A lot of omegaverse is subversive re: some of the tropes and not with others; and that's what I'm writing too. Underline the Black is proud to be an omegaverse story complete with a lot of omegaverse tropes, and it's been tagged accordingly. I sometimes zig where people expect me to be zag, but the rape/noncon warning is there for a reason (along with disturbing themes and dystopian universe).

Some people can't handle omegaverse to enjoy the angst or hurt/comfort or other tropes that they'd enjoy in other stories, and that's fine. My job isn't to make you read something you hate, anon, that would be bad news for both of us. I can't convince you you're going to like something when you've just told me you hate it, and it's mostly up to you to look at the tags carefully, and then decide what you think.

Like I said above, the vast majority of my online writing is not omegaverse, 95%+ isn't omegaverse. I'm just enjoying a/b/o right now, because it's one of my favourite things to read, so I'm enjoying writing it too. Whether you read it or not is your choice, and your responsibility, anon!

#asks and answers #underline the black #underline the rainbow #omegaverse #omegaverse is one of the most commonly hated alternate universes out there #i'm used to people hating it anon #it's nothing new #i'm not interested in pitching this story to people who already tell me they hate something i love #i feel like that would be bad for both of us #i will say there are people who don't like omegaverse who have enjoyed underline the black #and there are people who don't like omegaverse who haven't enjoyed underline the black #see? i can't tell how people are going to feel about it #i'm primarily trying to write something i love for people who already love it sdlfkjdsa #i'm not trying to convert the haters anon #i knew when i started this story that i'd get a lot of 'i don't like omegaverse' feedback #but i do like it so here we are dslkajfas #just because i have some minor squicks within liking omegaverse #that's no different to me loving romance but not being interested in pregnancy storylines #it's so minor and i can easily not encounter it
