[drowsystarlight]

Zombies run season 1 episode 7 titled “A Voice in the Dark”. How fucking DARE you. Im coming for your house and I’ll take apart every door hinge and close the door so you get hit in the face with emotions when you twist and open the doorknob like I WAS.

So

I think ZR id very carefully written so that you can borderline ship Sam with Runner 5 OR simply let Sam be like a brother to Five. Listening to most of the story beats, it could really go either way. They do it really strategically. Sam lost both his girlfriend AND his sibling early on in the apocalypse, so Five can replace either depending on the player's preference.

HOWEVER

It is so interesting to go back and listen to A Voice in the Dark from s1.

Because I think you can argue that however Sam and Five are bonded, it happens in that Mission.

Sam is forever the character in the zombie apocalypse who still finds joy in the little things, and holds out hope even when everybody else gives up. But in A Voice in the Dark, when it looks like Five is gone, he has that whole super depressing voice clip where he says, "nobody stays sane through all this, Five," and goes on to muse about how "maybe next time I see you, I'll have to shoot you in the head."

And he's literally about to walk out and give up on Five making it back, and FIGURATIVELY about to turn a corner into being a less hopeful character. You get the sense that after seeing Alice zombified and killed recently, and after losing "another good runner," and spending the whole dark night alone thinking about how he lost his family, Sam Yao is about to drop the hopefulness and turn more cynical.

But then Five makes it back!

And he's back to being normal, ever-hopeful, ever-funny, sunshiny and caring radio operator. Whereas he COULD have turned out more like any other cynical survivor in the series.

So basically what I'm saying is, it's really well written, because not only can Five fill the shoes of the people closest to Sam whom he's lost, but Five can also represent the indestructible hope Sam always has. And in turn, while Five is out there running around facing impossible odds, there's always someone representing the everyman, the innocent and worthwhile, on the other end of the comms like an anchor.

In conclusion an exercise app has no right to be written as well as this one is 🤷‍♀️

ok i don't have the energy right now for full recaps BUT

*************

********

****

1.Ok so not sure how to put this in words but i guess Valmont wants to make people work like red-fungus zombies. Ppl that were a around the red fungus were having shared dreams back in the Hebrides, and i found it telling that when Quinzi went ''under'' so to speak, we heard voices and music, like we were still at the carnival. Also the sensation of going underwater was kinda like when being under moonchild's control wiht the ZRD so i wonder if Valmont has been using all the mind-control research at his disposal. Researching a method that doesn't require frying his brain.

2. ALSO ALSO, i know season of the hunter isn't necessarily canon (hello dimension portals) HOWEVER it is still happening in the ZR world. Alexander mentions how music can make your brainwaves match up w other people and the CIA was testing something like that too. Wasn't Red Scorpion Base full of American Soldiers and stuff? I could imagien that this research is canon in the zr world and Valmont is taking advantage of it to do his thing.

3. (also, i like how the going underwater and listening to laughter and music almost feels like the infected ppl have been spirited away into a fae revelry)

#zombies run #zrs10 spoilers #theres probably more stuff im missing but i dont' have the transcripts to check for now so im just going with whats on top of my head

[tazzy-zooming]

I downloaded some old ZR missions to listen to on a plane ride. I thought about relistening to Season 1 starting with JA59 but…

Maybe the “flying vehicle gets shot down” mission isn’t the best for this

I’ve been thinking about just how much of an impression Seasons 1-3 tend to make on ZR fans, and how that compares to the vibes of the later seasons?

Like, it seems like so much of the fan art, fan fiction, and general fan content surrounds Seasons 1-3. And even as someone who’s running through Season 7 right now, I can say that although I generally enjoyed Season 4, and even though I am haunted to this day by the ending of Season 5, there’s nothing that has made quite the same impact on me as A Voice in the Dark, Galvanize, The Final Countdown, “Something Good, 08,” The Man Who Sold the World, Shoot the Runner, or Sacrifice, just to name a few missions that I still think about regularly.

There are obvious exceptions -- Peter, for example, who’s super popular. And there’s probably at least a partial explanation in the fact that runners who are new to ZR tend to get really excited about the first three seasons, and maybe the later seasons start settling down into more of a routine, less of a novelty...idk just something I’ve been thinking about.

So just as a side note: I’m still pretty early into Season 1 of ZR

I’m aware that other characters besides Sam exist, but I’m not sure how long it’ll take to get to them (ie: Simon, Peter, Runner 4…although I think 4 is in the next episode).

Thanks for tuning in. More characters will be in future stuff. Also if y’all have any ideas/ prompts for me to draw them I will.

My Runner 5’s/ZR Universe MCs. (Spoilers for seasons 1-3 of ZR with illusions to later seasons)

Because eh why not?

using @ummmmandy​‘s picrew and inspired by @runner5anna‘s post (I’m still working on my 5′s playlist so that’s coming at a later date)

Runner Five: Alicia Emily Bright

The OG, my traumatised baby, who I will protect with my life but also trauma dump on. 

Has left side Hemiplegia.

Is neurodivergent AF (autism)

diagnosed with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)

Very sensitive to loud noises, wet clothing and mess on her skin.

Selective mute due to anxiety from the helicopter crash and autism.

Had to kill her zombified mother with a kitchen knife on day zero.

Also had to shoot her younger brother, Louis, at Mullins after he was bitten a few weeks before she arrived at Abel.

Is currently dating Sam Yao, and is actually engaged to him (as of season 6).

Short sighted.

Huge Nerd. Will talk about Doctor Who and Red Dwarf for hours if you let her. Loves DnD.

Has an emotional support puppy by the name of Scraps, a Jack Russell Terrier who she rescued in season 2 and whom she adores. To lose him would literally be like losing a child to her. He is her baby. It sure would be a shame if something happened to him, say for example, someone killed him at the end of season 5. 

Forgets to look after herself constantly, potentially has a death wish (or at least thats Abel Township’s theory), will kill and be killed for those she loves.  

New Canton Runner 5: Joel James Bright

Born in 1979, to Edith and Robert Bright. Younger brother of Dominic.

Married childhood sweetheart, Maria when they were 19.

Father of Alicia and Louis Bright.

Was in a band in university. Gave it up to start a family.

Secondary school history teacher.

Adores his children, will die for them.

Plays guitar like a pro.

Short sighted.

Got knocked out by his zombified wife on Z Day, and was assumed dead by his children.

Despite his bleeding head, he managed to find his way to New Canton in the early days of the apocalypse. Believed his children were dead (he was half right).

Close with Chris McShell and Lem.

Overjoyed to discover at least his daughter was alive.

Very protective of Alicia in new Canton following the Abel explosion in the season one finale.

Died in London, buried under a building he blew up.

Left a message to Alicia via video and Alicia stumbled across the site whilst in London and retrieved by luck his broken glasses to remember him by.

Nobody knows what happened to his body.

Has a memorial in New Canton and an grave by Mullins base, next to his son, Louis’ grave.

Walker- Tabitha ‘Tammy’ Natalie Walker.

Alicia’s uncle Dominic is Tammy’s father.

Lived in Scotland with her mum, Allison.

Lived in Fostercare after the death of her mum, six years prior to The Walk.

Goes by either ‘Tabs’ or ‘Tammy’ (sometimes even by her middle name as she’s not overly fond of her first name)

19 years old at the start of The Walk (which takes place c. 2016 as Boris Johnson’s still Mayor of London) and turns 20 during.

Coincidentally, her surname is the same as her computer generated codename, Walker.

Bubbily, but also extremely sensible and serious.

More extroverted than Alicia, but less than the average person.

Was on her way to meet family at Paddington station as she was travelling down for a week in London with her dad, step mum, Ruby, half siblings, Tara, David and Luke, her uncle Joel, her aunt Maria and her cousins Alicia and Louis, as an early birthday present when she was approached by Fiona and dragged into the whole mess.

Close with Alicia before the events of The Walk.

Has a massive crush on Lawrence. in fact they sort of start a relationship.

Has PTSD due to the events of the Walk.

Survived day zero and lives in Mullins base during the apocalypse. Where she reconnects with her father Dominic, and cousins Alicia and Louis, but Louis dies a few weeks in and Alicia leaves for Abel Township on a special mission. Neither cousin are aware the other is still alive since then.

Sapper 5- James ‘Jamie’ Edward Carter

Jamie Carter was born to Molly and George Carter in 1900. He’s their only son.

His father was a policeman who was one of a handful of people who knew the identity of Jack The Ripper (although Jamie would never learn who it was) and his mother was responsible for uncovering the ‘Bicycle Face’ conspiracy at the age of 16, and was an avid suffragette and campaigner against police corruption.

Because of this, his family has always been, unbeknownst to him and his relatives, on a government watch list. 

He left school at 14 and started an apprenticeship in engineering.

He then signed up to fight in the war in 1915, underage. He survived, travelling across the globe from Africa to Russia.

Eventually he met Elizabeth Stewart, a Scottish nurse whilst in Russia.

Both of them were stuck in Russia after the war for a couple of years, and during that time they fell in love. They managed to leave Russia back to the London just before the Tsar was assassinated, and Jamie returned back to his apprenticeship, becoming an accomplished engineer and setting up his own company. 

despite this he constantly suffered flashbacks and nightmares from his time at war. 

They had three children. George, Joseph ‘Jojo’ and Edith ‘Edie’. 

He passed away in March 1999 at the age of 99. 

He is the grandfather of Dominic and Joel Bright and the great grandfather of Tabitha Walker, Alicia, Tara, Louis, David and Luke Bright.

Zombies run season 9, mission 28

Janine…. You made my 5 leave behind her best friend, bleeding in the mountains. You made my 5 run into the dessert to go after the man who tortured her. You made her leave her husband on the floor of a zombie filled building.

And you have the audacity to give me a we must go on hero speech? All of Sarah smiths training, all the talk of fall apart when we’re safe behind the gates, that is all that is keeping my 5 going…5 is going to shatter if she ever makes it home. And snap on Janine if she doesn’t

Because my brain has decided it’s loving Peter Lynne hours….

Spoilers for up to season 5 of zombies run….

I was just thinking today (and subsequently listened to voodoo child again) about Peter hearing that 5 and Janine were dead. I’m sure he had feelings about Maxine and Sam too but I’ve been focused on 5/Janine. How it must have felt to think your best friend and your ex are dead. What unspoken things did he regret never saying (that he still won’t say because Peter is gonna Peter)? He was so chill in that episode when he sees 5 but how did he actually react when he first heard 5 was alive? I have no idea why my brain is obsessing over this specific scenario today but here we are. Anyway….I really need the rest of season 9 now, thanks

I'm REALLY enjoying ZRS8. Im only about mid-season, but they managed to, like, lift a handful of characters out of the crazy high-stakes mess of the mainland storyline and plop them down on a series of small islands, in a smaller adventure, where the only threat is natural bad guys and normal zombies. I missed that!

Babylon 5 Rewatch - And the Sky Full of Stars

This is a post I originally wrote several years ago for Mark Oshiro’s Mark Watches blog. I don’t really plan to edit them before posting, so there may be some references that don’t make sense. If you see words that look like gibberish, they are actually rot13, which was our way of discussing spoilers. There are plugins you can install to decode the text (Cryptext is the one I use), or you can copy/paste to rot13.com, or just ignore it.

This is a big one, guys! What really happened at the Battle of the Line? We (sort of) find out! I mean, we still don’t know why the Minbari surrendered or anything, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but there’s some definite forward momentum going on.

One of the things I like about this story is the way you can see Sinclair constantly probing for more information and picking up on hints that Knight Two didn’t realize he was giving. He spends the whole time he is in that chair, not just trying to remember the Battle of the Line, but also trying to escape and not give any more information to his captors than he has to. And by the end of the episode, that includes Delenn. Although it seems that he still likes her, he realizes that he can’t trust her enough to reveal what he has remembered.

I noticed this time through that when Sinclair first realizes he has been kidnapped, one of the first things he says to Knights One and Two is, “Why are you doing this?” And when he finally starts to remember being on the Minbari cruiser, the first thing he says there is also, “Why are you doing this?” Fragment of repressed memory already starting to leak through, or just Sinclair’s natural response to the situation?

Somehow I had totally forgotten that Sinclair was supposed to be from Mars.

Favorite scene: Much as I like this episode, I’m having a hard time picking a specific favorite scene. All of it seems to pretty much go together, and nothing stands out. I guess I’ll pick the series of flashbacks to the Battle of the Line, each one of which goes a little farther forward towards figuring out what happened. It’s the kind of thing that could easily have gotten boring, but for me, it never does.

ZRS10 Radio Mode; 1:15 pm; 52° F, cloudy and a tiny bit windy; Today’s run was good! Not great, but good. I was grateful to be outside and glad for the pleasant weather. I think once it goes up ten degrees and gets a little sunny, it’s going to be glorious. I’m caught up on ZR and am listening to season 10 radio mode. I might listen to the other seasons radio modes if I finish this one since I never did listen to radio for seasons 3-9. I saw some Canada Geese, Mallards, three domestic ducks, a snowy egret, a great egret, and NINE Black-bellied Whistling Ducks!! I didn’t know they came here??? When I got close they made a squeaky toy noise and flew off! Incredible.

Also I saw two pet dogs: one larger tan one and a small black one that tried to attack me viciously
