#Abel Township

[wubbelwubbwubb]

I can’t believe there are zoms on this route! What am I paying people for!

I used to love the Pettson och Findus (Pettersson und Findus) books as a kid - and still do - and always wanted to try the style. The wackiness of ZR makes a good fit, I think!

Simon would risk both his and Five’s life for those cowboy boots! YEE HAW! 🤠

I did a collab with my buddy @nokkiart 😌 We used the same reference, but haven’t yet see each others piece 👀 Looking forward to seeing how similar or different they are 👀

Edit: BLEASE GO AND CHECK HERS OUT ITS FUNNY AS HECK

It's a crime that, other than the ones in the actual store, there isn't more merch for Zombies Run. Like - I'd go for anything with Sam! Or really anything with Abel Township, really. It's been years, come on - you can't tell me someone doesn't have something going for the fandom?

Broke: all I wear is graphic tees and running shorts. I have no style

Woke: it’s runner 5 core

I thought I’d attempt to make vague teasers in the style of ZR mission covers for some upcoming fics I’m planning to write in the next few days and next year and tease about them….

A short Christmas fic about Five having to rescue Christmas for one little girl in Abel Township.

Can a wedding at Abel really go off without a hitch?

Crossover between Zombies, Run! And The Walk involving a very important document from the ministry.

Also I know I haven’t been on here in two months I lost motivation for zombies, run after the app changed. However the good thing is, I found the motivation again and I hope to finish season 6 before January (which will have only taken a year to do 😅)

I keep having thoughts about music in the apocalypse, esp during radio mode of Zombies, Run.

Popular music would be comparatively easy to find just because there's going to be a higher volume of AC/DC records compared to the little indie artists you can only find on Bandcamp or at your local gigs.

This isn't to shit on popular music. Hells Bells is great. It's well loved for a reason. But, having three copies of the same record does not give much variety for people with different tastes or even for people who like that genre.

You *can* record over records. It happened a lot with early ska bands. A lot of music was lost that way because the old material would just be recorded over with new songs. But I think at some point the folks at Abel Township would be willing to sacrifice their backup copy of the same songs they've heard a thousand times for something new.

Which brings us to Abel Studio Recordings.

You have all these residents with all these different tastes in music who can remember songs word for word. And even some musicians who know how to play and have access to instruments.

My Five? They'd play the hell out of some folk punk and indie folk. Conveniently, they both transfer really well to a paired down audio style because they got pretty minimalist instrumentals.

Give Sam a piano and he'll record nerdy video game soundtracks. Maybe a collection of soothing instrumentals the radio guys can play at night time full of songs like Zelda's Lullaby and Gaeta's Lament. Even with people who aren't fans of the franchises can appreciate how beautiful the songs are and how they lull them to sleep after PTSD apocalypse nightmares.

There might even be some original songwriters tucked up in the township. We know there's at least one author. And I'm sure radio boyfriends have tried their hand at writing something together. They could be the new Amazing Devil, singing beautifully romantic, emotionally fraught, and absolutely unhinged duets.

I also love the idea of the post-apocalyptic records slowly making their way around and developing small but very loyal fan bases. Dr. Meyers goes to meet with a small team of scientists and someone stops her because they know that lovely, warm alto voice with a little bit of vocal fry. And yeah, they're here on business but would it be too much trouble to ask for a live performance of one of her Billie Holiday tracks? Or Tom Waits? She does a brilliant "Drunk on the Moon".

Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Zombies Run! Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Zoe Crick/Amelia Spens Characters: Amelia Spens, Zoe Crick, Phil Cheeseman, Sam Yao, Runner Five, Janine deLuca, Kefilwe Lobatse, Bernard Prior, Maxine Myers, Paula Cohen, Sara Myers Cohen Yao, OCs, Jody Marsh, Peter Lynne Additional Tags: Christmas, Parody Summary:

Down to the wire and I stole the title from Rofflenet. It may change! Amelia is visited by some ghosts who have some things to say to her about Christmas. There are kittens at some point. It’s set in the near future but I tried to be vague to avoid any spoilers after season 8 or so. The spoilers that are included, you may not spot them if you read from an earlier season, since it’s a made up future!  This was what happened when I tried to write 5am fluff for my Secret Santa request. It barely has Sam or Five in it, and it's barely fluffy. They didn't want angst, so I tried to go light, but... well, it's based on A Christmas Carol, and set in the zombie apocalypse. It couldn't be helped! Hope you all like it! @runner5anna this is for you and also for @notforconsumption and @delucadarlingwriting (hope I’ve got those right!)

[runner5anna]

zombies, puns!

Why was Janine angry in the coms shack? She was having a Sam Row.

What do you say when Janine can’t find something? She needs to DeLooka for it.

What happens when Simon can’t get back into Abel? He’s Lauchlan-ed out.

Jody needs more wool…you could say she is Yarning for more.

What do you say to Molly’s dad if he doesn’t know something? You need an Ed-ucation

What do you call Maxine when she is going shopping? Maxine Byers

Why won’t Jack loose his lucky cricket bat? He was Holden It.

[wubbelwubbwubb]

@thedarkmaw506 likes Sam and thinks spooky horror vibes are great (I'm with you on that), so I did my best with both for ZR secret santa!

[runner5ive]

Breakfast of champions 😌

[runnerk]

Remember the time I said I was going to start using Tumblr for more than shameless self-promotion of my silly stories?

Oops. Lol. But here's another chapter of Simon's journey through S2/S3! Enjoy!

Absolutely love the ‘everyone in Abel lowkey has a crush on Runner 5’ agenda and I will stand by it
