Off with your head
Dance til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Two hour long supernatural dance party! It’s corny, it’s campy, it’s over the top - it’s all you need from a Zombillenium playlist!

Today I saw a Parc Spirou ad on TV for the first time of my life (I've been alive for 2 decades 😭), and at first I thought "since when ???" but then I remembered "je suis le parc" and went "Aaaah yeah this little cuntly bitch has a park too".
Anyway they have fucking Zombillénium in there for some reason ??? If I ever visit Avignon again I'll try to check this out.
Question: Who would be a character you like/love the most or most identify with? appreciate all you do for this tiny fandom! :>
First of all, thanks!!! Just humbly reposting stuff and discuss whatever people want to discuss :) Second of all, that’s a good question!
Can’t say I wholly identify with anyone, but I do relate to a deadpan look and kind of please-leave-me-alone attitude both Gretchen and Aton are giving, since irl I have a severe case of resting bitch face and on top of that I’m introverted as shit.
As of the character I like/love… wooo boy, where do I even start… I'm gonna ramble for a bit, so please bear with me here. My absolute faves are Tim and Astaroth Matauzier and let me explain why.
Short and simple, I always like funny pathetic losers who get their asses kicked (just look at some of my other faves).
And wow does Astaroth get his ass (nose) kicked a lot.
Doesn’t help that his human counterpart Tim is poor little meow meow, who’s also getting his ass kicked, but in this instance I just feel sympathy for him, cause here it’s absolutely undeserved.
And for the long reason why I like them… I like the creative potential they have. Not in a sense of development, but the whole concept.
So Tim was supposed to be only that – Tim. But he’s been literally split into two characters since his birth and I kinda can’t treat them like a single one. At least not fully. They were two different people for 14 ass years, how can you unify that and not have some bumps in the road so to speak. Just this fraction is already fascinating enough, how can a person grapple with being two? Two set of beliefs, two set of memories, two behavioral patterns. Top notch angst/psychology fanfic material amirite or amirite.
But it doesn’t stop there! They were presented like two separate characters and then Francis dumps this infobomb on us that Tim and Astaroth's been one person all along, which is… fine, I could run with that, but his explanation doesn’t make sense?
He claims you can’t see Tim and Astaroth at the same place at once, which implies he’s been switching between two of his personalities and teleporting between the human/park world. And then in literally a few panels he says there were two bodies he jumped between. Huh???
Also this weird line.
So which one is it? Was there a single body or was there two? I'd say it's an important difference. Either you have a teleporting dude with split personality disorder or you have one brain shared between twins.
I know this could be a translational issue, but some of native French speakers can’t understand Francis’ explanation either??? HUH?????
Yeah, I also can't for the life of me understand how no one noticed a child constantly disappearing out of thin air for 14 years straight. This weird discrepancy is what makes it so interesting though. My friends and I spent hours discussing, guessing and straight up headcanoning how this child works.
Obviously headcanon territory here, but we came up with “there were two bodies with shared but split consciousness; when one body was active, the second one was sleeping or dissociating or being awake but severely absentminded”. That way he won't disappear randomly and school bullies will have reasons to pick on him. And we headcanoned that when they've become one they were having conversations in their unified head and fought for the driver's seat, which could potentially be either funny or tragic, your choice.
If you survived this long ass ramble/rant congratulations and sorry it took so long :D But I do love this stupid child-who-became-office-rat and he absolutely lives rent free in my head.
Hi, are you still drawing zombillenium? Thank you for your work, I have read all the chapters in your translation into Russian. Are you planning to translate Volume 6?
Hi, ah, well, I still sketch Tim or Astaroth from time to time, but it's either not worth it to post (example below), or I'm just plain lazy to do that.
Thanks a lot!!! Glad to be of service :D Gotta clarify though, there's another dude, separate from me, who also translates the comic into Russian. If you read Zombillenium through Readmanga or VK then only volumes 1, 2 and 3 are mine, volumes 4 and 5 are his work! I'm not sure I'm gonna translate 4, 5 and 6, but this dude surely would, I think.
