Venomshank and child zombie Reader

ughhhh headache, but me and my sister are watching the season two finale of toh, it’s my fav show it’s her first time watching it, the collector is my favorite character, they’ve been my pfp on my main since king’s tide aired

- Venomshank can’t recall every person he’s turned, when he goes feral he cant recall those times and if he doesn’t have his mask on it leads to him later discovering a good amount of new zombies, so when he starts finding new zombies recently he doesn’t think much of it, he does feel bad for basically killing innocent demons but he is still a deity so he doesn’t truly feed that bad

- That changes though when he finds one zombie, cowering behind something watching him, eyes scared but also not quite understanding what’s happening to them, it was you, he knelt down to you and took of his mask to try and appear less scary

- He could tell you weren’t fully turned but turned enough, some of his zombies were brainless husks but on rare occasion the bite doesn’t work correctly and leaves them half themself half zombie, so he tries to gently explain to you what happened, you got infected by something and now you’re partially a zombie, your reaction is either scared and terrified or maybe a bit excited because zombies are cool

- He tells you that he can bring you to your parents if you have any, you say you don’t so he asks if you’d like to accompany him, internally he’s trying to make up for the fact that he bit a child, not really having anywhere else to go you agree, maybe he’s also filling a bit of a hole, he does miss when Sword was a kid

- Venomshank treats you incredibly kindly and gently, he does everything he can to stop the turning so you stay at the amount you are, he can’t cure you but he can stop you from turning further, he also figures out exactly what inside you turned, what organs no longer work, he finds you no longer breath but to some degree your heart still beats, it’s odd

- He cooks you food rich in vitamins and such especially vitamin D since you can no longer go in the sun, hope you like oranges! His cooking is actually really good, if not a little strange, but not bad since he’s already raised one mortal child he knows what they eat now

- Speaking of you get all of Sword’s hand me downs, clothes and toys, his old room, he of course also gets you new things as well, most of Sword’s stuff was donated anyways, but he also gets you teething toys, the zombie part of your brain really wants to bite any and everything so having teething toys instead of gnawing of furniture is good, if you bite him he doesn’t mind he laughs about it and takes a fake snap at you, you giggle and he makes sure to never actually bite you, worried it would finish the turning process

- Sword first meets you around three weeks later, he’s gotten very curious as to why his dad’s been in the mortal world so much recently so when he stops by his home to check in with his dad he sees you hiding behind the couch, at first he’s confused till he notices your rotted skin and understands, he also takes pity on you, slowly as Sword visits more, especially to take care of you when his dad can’t, you get closer, he basically becomes an older brother to you, which he sort of is since his dad is sort of acting as a dad to you

- Venomshank feels guilty a lot, he wishes he never would have gone feral without his mask and turned you, he feels like he ruined an innocent child’s life, you’ll never grow up and you’re not fully yourself anymore, when he thinks your not looking he throws pained glances your way because he wishes he could have done something more to help you, he doesn’t regret meeting you but he wishes he never had to

- Sometimes he has to go away for days at a time, maybe two weeks if he’s unlucky, he insures you have more then enough food and such and makes you promise to be careful, you always do, even pinky swearing to top it off, sometimes Sword will take care of you but for the most part you can take care of yourself, you usually just sleep a lot, or zone out, since you turned you do that a lot, sometimes you’ll zone back in to realize you were just standing in the kitchen for 7 hours straight, you just eat like 13 oreos, have some water, and go to bed

- Speaking of bed your sleep schedule doesn’t exist, sometimes you sleep for 2 days straight, which sort of terrifies him, sometimes you sleep through the day and are up at night, other times you have a regular routine of sleeping at night, you also take a lot of naps, you have less energy as a zombie and you also get bored a lot, he plays with you and does things with you to keep you busy which you appreciate greatly because it beats sleeping all day, though sleeping is nice, so is biting, biting galore

- The other swords do not know of your existence, he fears them seeing you as too weak or a waste of time so he keeps you secret, maybe Darkheart knows of you but the others just think he’s spending more time training his mentee, when in reality he’s caring for an eternally child demon, he knows eventually he’ll have to say goodbye, in one way or another you will finally pass on, but for the time being he has you and he can care for you, protect you when he couldn’t before, it’s bittersweet but he knows he just has to cherish the time he does have with you

ugh my fucking head help my headache is so bad ughhh, maybe i should put on my old glasses till i go to bed, i just need to figure out where they are, anyways hope yall enjoyed thanks for reading!

Yuma Month Day 26 - Role Swap

god i was excited for this one. it first started off as a joke, but the more i thought about it, the more interesting this swap became. so here's my massive lore dump of changes that'd happen in the story beneath the cut (spoiler warning):

i think, fundamentally, yuma and yakou are very similar characters. they're both very protective and kindhearted, with a strong sense of justice and a penchant for attracting terrible luck. because of this, some things would remain the same, such as the NDA's dynamics with their doormat chief as well amnesia!yakou's massive unpaid intern energy. i think yakou would be pretty similar to how he behaved in the light novel- a bit more optimistic and naive, like yuma. but there are two key differences between them that'd make this a different story, especially in ch 4: yuma has a forte, and yakou is very selfish. so here's some changes:

yakou's wife is his shinigami now, as you can see, while shinigami is yuma's dead wife. i think mrs furio would act cooler than shinigami. she'd still be playful, but she takes her job more seriously. also she hands yakou the solution keys normally without throwing up. they still have to do the dance and mouth sword thing tho. and the other stuff. that's just death god protocol

shinigami (or in this case the unnamed Mrs. Kokohead but i will still be calling her shinigami for convenience sake) was a scientist at amaterasu who studied forensics and thanatology instead of regenerative medicine. this also means that the pill she gives zombie yuma is not going to bring him back, but instead grant the zombie homunculi a peaceful, painless, but permanent death

speaking of zombie yuma, he's the homunculus now! yakou is 100% human and also doesnt have a forte. he's still number one, but instead of having a forte he's just that good at solving mysteries

yes this means makoto looks like yakou now. sorry makotoheads. i think he'd have really long, shaggy hair dyed to be like. idk. black or something. also he's more clean shaven bc stubble with a mask on is a sensory nightmare

yuma still cant cook. he subsists entirely on takeout, meat buns, black coffee, and beer. he's still in a lot of debt and under a lot of stress and his personality is essentially "what if canon number one just gave up"

he doesn't smoke though. he tried once and got into the worst coughing fit

imma say it right now. kurumi is not a love interest. yakou likely disguises himself as a faculty member instead (also i think one of the teachers gets a crush on fem yakou bc i just know she'd be hot)

ANYWAY what about chapter 4? im SO glad you asked! because here's where things get spicy!

so, lets start with the dead wife. shinigami catches onto huesca's inhumane research and she's just as adamant about bringing the truth to light as she always is. she blows the whistle, so he blows her up. yuma investigates, but they dont let him look any further, yada yada, yuma stews in his misery for five years

yomi sends in the evidence to motivate yuma to kill huesca, and makoto lets it happen because a dead huesca would be convenient. he even introduces the hitman, fully expecting yuma to make use of him

yuma doesnt. in fact, he wants to kill huesca with his own hands. and now that these detectives are here, he can do it and even return alive. the thing is, he doesn't want to put them in danger, so he chooses to do almost everything alone (sound familiar?)

his plan is simple:

ask desuhiko for a peacekeeper uniform. desuhiko trusts him enough to take "i want to investigate kanai ward's ultimate secret by infiltrating their ranks" as an answer. he does, however, let yakou know about this as an offhand comment before the mystery ever begins

hold fubuki's hand. it doesnt really matter how. she'll gladly allow it because she's fubuki. he stores her time powers and heads out the sub. yakou also learns this as an offhand comment played off as a joke (maybe fubuki affectionately comments about how she never expected the chief's hands to be so soft... idk. there has to be some way for yakou to have this as a future clue)

use his peacekeeper status to sneak into amaterasu HQ and demand a functioning ama-pal from that one creepy researcher

use ama-pal + fubuki's borrowed powers to bypass huesca's security. sneak the bot past the hard-of-hearing doctor and press the button to shut off security

this would probably alert huesca, but since the doctor never received a warning, yuma has enough time to rush in and stab him before he realizes what's going on

leave HQ while still in uniform, dispose of the disguise once he's safe, and return to the NDA like nothing happened. success!

soooo.... yakou, on that same day, decides to investigate amaterasu HQ with makoto

all the while, vivia has his suspicions about yuma's actions and keeps an eye on him in spectral mode. he... basically witnessed the whole thing, so he gets up off his ass and decides to follow yakou to the lab because he has a Very Bad Feeling about this

just like canon, he senses the death god and deduces that our protag has been killing off murderers, and so he wants to protect his chief as well as his peace and quiet (his dynamic with yuma would be the same as his dynamic with yakou, since it's entirely believable for yuma to treat vivia with the same kindness yakou did)

yakou tries to speak to huesca, but surprise! security is disabled and he's dead in the lab! no one else at amaterasu liked huesca enough to check on him, so yakou and makoto are the first ones at the scene of the crime. yakou, of course, decides to start investigating this murder

vivia somehow sneaks into the lab (dont ask me how) and confronts yakou, threatening him with his boxcutter and adamantly imploring him to stop pursuing this particular mystery in the same way he did yuma in canon. unfortunately, this attracts attention, and now they're in trouble (maybe even yomi's there to fetch his files). at this point, yakou has enough solution keys, so he panics and goes right into the labyrinth (and maybe others can enter for another reason that isnt coalescence idk)

so... they go in the labyrinth... vivia tries to stop him every step of the way, until the answer is right in front of them

yakou kills yuma with his own hands. there's no stab wounds or toxic gas to leave any doubt. yakou begins to question what good his justice really does. it doesnt even save them from their predicament, just like the other deaths. instead, makoto ex machina comes in to save them, and hands yakou a small black box

when they return to the agency, everyone is heartbroken over their chief, who seemingly died out of nowhere. fubuki tried rewinding time, but to no avail. halara tried everything to wake him up, knowing it's futile. desuhiko stood aside, feeling completely helpless. and yakou and vivia return looking like they just came back from hell

they barely get the chance for a funeral before the knockout gas trap activates... you know the rest

AAAAND SCENE! so that's my extremely long winded lore dump about this au. i thought about it Way Too Much but god it's so interesting to me. i love these characters and swapping them was immensely fun

[begaydodrughailsatan]

hey hello hi blinking at you witg my eyes so nice and politely whats tftgs

Hehehehehee

Tftgs/ Tales From the Gas Station started as a creepy pasta written by Jack Townsend (who named the main character after himself, something pretty common in creepypastas that pretend to be real) Jack (the character) is a Dude who Works at a Gas Station! However weird shit happens at this gas station! There are garden gnomes that keep appearing, people go missing in the near by woods, theres a ghost cowboy in the bathroom, huge mutant racoons, hand-plants (just plants that look and act like human hands), and not to mention the cult in the woods and the whole thing with that dark god!

Jack doesn't care to much, Jack just wants to get his pay check and read his books in peace. (Jack also physically cant sleep he has fatal familial insomnia a genetic condition that shuts down the part of your brain that allows for sleep and its 100% fatal! Dont worry about that tho <3) so on top of working a shitty dead end job, and actively dying, and there being monsters demons ghosts crypids and The Fucking Racoons, Jack is also fucking *exhausted* 24/7<3

The creepypasta starts off with him saying his therapist told him to start journaling, so he started his own blog! To just talk about the stuff in his life, and because he works like 80+ hours a week and has no friends or family he basically only talks about work and the gas station!

Book 1/vol1 follows the same plot at the original creepypasta (jack starts the blog, New Weird Shit starts happening, MARLBORO!!!!, the whole dark god thing, the whole Spencer Fucking Middleton wants him dead thing, and the whole zombie cultist thing, happens and at the end it nicely ties all that stuff together and gives an explanation for it thats jsut enough it feels earned but its not overly explained. And then New Weird Shit starts up again!) the main difference between vol 1 and the creepypasta is 1. The book has a lot more character development and character interactions 2. The creepypasta is only blog entries, where as the book is ment to be jack taking the blog entries and putting them together in order and added extra details where he sees fit 3. We get to meet jacks therapist in the book! I fucking hate him! And 4. The last 20ish pages of the book set up a cliffhanger for the next books

After that there's volumes 2/3/4 for the Main Story, and extra books that aren't needed for the series but they are still really fun over all the official order is this, have fun deciphering it, its a bit confusing but pretty much the 4 volumes in order will get you the majority of the story

I just finished the second book and im absolutely feral i dont want to give to many spoilers but like spencer and jack my beloved toxic yaoi, they cant stop killing each other<3333

ALSO JERRY!!!!!!!! BRISNDIANFISB HES SO SILLY HES MY POOKIE BEAR

i loved jerry sooooo much in book one i almost started crying when he "died" and i LOVE all the character development he got in book 2, in book 1 he was very flat and one dimensional stereotypical "stupid himbo smokes weed and cigarettes fucks constantly" (tbh almost glenn close like character) but he got SO much more emotions and development and personality in the second book and if that tread continues i will be blessed. Jerry my beloved favorite ex cult member with abandonment issues i would die for you

ALSO TONY I MISS YOU ANGENT BRICK ROSCO 1 AND 2 SHOULDENT HAVE KILLED YOU MY BOY COME BACK TO MEEEEE also

DO YOU LIKE COOL POC WOMEN??? WE GOT TWO!!!! Amelia/Amy, cop(bad but like she fictional i can forgive her) black woman! Near the end of book one Tom (a different cop) dies, Tom was basically the gas stations babysitter, because insane shit happened so much they needed a cop whos only job was checking on the gas station. After Tom dies hes replaced by Amelia as the new Official Gas Station babysitter! And personal Jack Taxi because after The Stuff With The Hole and Spencer, Jack cant drive anymore so Jerry and Amelia are his personal chauffeurs. And Rosa Vasquez my cutie pie shes very "short cute girl" like however! Shes will not hesitate to let you have at her fury! Rosa is so relatable i love her, when Jack askes her to take the job again (after he accidentally kept standing her up) shes really nice in polite and then dose a full 180° telling his ass off for being so unprofessional and a dick and half way through her rant she says "IM NOT CRYING BECAUSE IN SAD OR WEAK ITS BECAUSE IM SO ANGRY AT YOU" before she keeps yelling at him. And then dose a full 180° again and thanks him for the job😭 shes just like me frfr shes SO nice and kind but can and will rip you a new one if needed<3

Also i need you to know Jack is NOT a cool protagonist hes soooo fucking weak and lame, this man keeps getting the shit beat out of him, and cant fight back to save his life (literally) the best he can do is call Tom/Amy and ask for help, dude cant even run after The Hole And Spencer Incident, hes life is in CONSTANT danger and he barely cares half the time and when he dose care all his ass can do is hope jerry/amy/tom/tony/rita/rosa/etc can save his ass😭 he successfully fought back like once. Poor little meow meow ass main character i love him so much he just wants to read his books ALSO JACK CANON DISABILITY REP!!!!!!! Both the one i already mentioned and uhhh some stuff happens in vol 2.......

And heres a master list for the books/audio books/creepypasta/etc!

@watermelonbugs also tagging you here because you asked me to rant about tftgs to you a few days ago and i completely forgot sorry lol

[pumpkinsy0]

may i be so crazy to request more TWD au headcanons

yes anon ur ABSOLUTELY insane, u need to b LOCKED UP in a CLOSET somewhere for EVER asking me this☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

•i like to think that ponys artistry still continues in this au, just as an outlet to get his mind off things, its never just out of nowhere, its when pony knows hes safe is when he takes them

• i like to imagine that he somewhat befriended a dog bc he saved it, but then it ran off and when pony was in danger, that dog saved him

•top thing pony hates is that he cant shower as regularly as he’d like, hes not a germaphobe but holy shit is he grimey and he hates it

•just like how clem has her dads hat, pony has sodas flannel!!!

•immmmm gonna say that ponys seen the zombie version of ppl he used to know but werent close to, ie bob, marcia, that girl in his math class, etc etc

•ponys had to find more quieter snacks, like ones thats packaging isnt too loud like chips and ones that u dont have to bake, and so ponys just into chocolate pudding now, but having it is a rare luxury

•after pony reunited w curly, they were literally inseparable, they slept together (pause), sat next to each other all the tine, and pony would tell stories that curly already told them, so ponys more of the guy they ask “did that rlly happen or is curly a liar”

•pony and curly r very possessive/protective of each other bc they cant let go of their past lives, they miss that sm, so having each other truly does mean a lot

•now if u wanna say angela is still alive and has been ponys companion, THEN in the reunion, curly ALMOST cried, just almost, he rlly couldnt believe his eyes he thought he would never see em again, and u gotta remember that its literally been a good 2 maybe more years since theyve seen each other, its its m&m whos accompanying pony, curlys impressed that hes even still alive, but not ECSTATIC over it

•curlys actually become quite a bit more like tim, he uses his head more and hes not a BAD leader, its funny bc while thats one of the main things hes always wanted in his old life bc he looked up to tim sm, he would even realize it and so someone (naybe pony or angela if u want) would tell him that and hes surprised about that

•curly would say that they look and smell like shit while also smelling and looking like shit😭

✨🌈💖Doodles n Ocs !!!!!! 🌈🌈💖

I was energized yesterday, so I grabbed my pencil and started looking around for interesting ocs lol

(( @minoru-eno // Idk what Kitty's @ is.... ))

First and foremost was this booger

Cant remember what his name was... But I really loved his zombie//rotting body

If I have a second chance, I'd draw a bit more gorey or twisted poses with him, since he can just regen himself>>

Have to say, this sketch turned out the BEST purely bc at a character standpoint, its amazing cough

Second is how well he can integrate himself in the detailed, Jmilo style

And also cus he's a cutie patootie...

And well, most of my energy was really put into this sketch

I had a lot of fun with him!!

MINORU IF YOURE LISTENING GIVE ME MORE CRUMBS STOP GATEKEEPING GRRRRR

.

.

.

HONESTLY after drawing 'experiment boy,' I knew that I wanted to do KittyLilyHeart's oc, Amcy, next

I wasnt certain what kind of pose I wanted

So, in the heat of the momment, I kinda... Redrew her refrence pose..

IN HINDSIGHT i could've just read her lore ((bc im a sucker for transmigration stories, my pfp boy is LITERALLY from one + 1 Lefe Lore point))

I think that she looks so much more... savage-like? An almost fox-like slyness...

What really stood out to me was her wide smile

It would be a dishonor!! Of me to make it smaller

Soo...

Nayway! I wished I leaned more into her transmigration plotpoint

Maybe a high tech panel to her sides, showcasing profiles of her 'units' and current progression eithin each story ...

Ah, but from my own speculation, she doesn't necessarily like or want to do it, huh?

Her dialogue on her refrence sheet is strange; "HELP" written in a light blood, red handprints on her shaded figure, a glitched and foreboding scream "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!"

I like this aspect of her; it seems to me that she doesn't wanna be in this endless loop of romancing pointless people in a pointless story

If I had understood this earlier on, I would e implied ot better with the sketch

Hmm... Maybe a disgruntled expression while staring at a True Milo? A bit complicated... Ahh

I do like her though. I'm not fond of many characters, but shes got a place somewhere here

.

.

.

OK AT LONG LAST

Eerie Day

EERIE DAY, THAT ONE PL G*N OC

who happened to win a "whos the most unhinged" poll, cant forget that!!

Im surprised that he... Well, whatever

Pretty boy smh

Im showing his ugly picture, just for his humiliation fun!!

I

Actually liked drawing him again

.

Just kidding he needs to go back to jail

Stupid

ugly

Get in there, pretty face!!

Heh

One bad thing, put behind bars

Speaking of metal things, remember Opal? Yeah uhm. He's here too...

It seems like all my ocs are making a reappearance after weeks!! (R.i.p Cherry...)

Its been TOO LONG

and frankly I

Opal isnt suited for Jmilo style tbh

For one; no nose, no eyebrows, big boba eyes, unrealistic hair details

Ahh

Hes always meant for Jchan style I guess

Cutesy, big eyes, unrealistic hair

ehe, Speaking of Jchan style ...

Ta-da!!! A little present for coming down this far

Long road of me yapping

I like to yap. Just that nobody is here to listen.

Nayway!!!

Theres a few (ton) more ocs/characters I want to draw

Lots

All the milos, for one

And maybe another Pl oc? Ehe

Oh well~ Ill get to a certain nredeacterjecjevavtsbrsvg eventually

Anyway!! Heres a small sketch of myself!

My persona tbh... Same thing! Person! Same person!

Ahh

Thats all the tumblr images can handle

Thanks for seeing them all! I wish more people could tell me that I didnt waste my time, more often

Cya tmr! Or today? Its 2am... Ahhh

*falls backwards into coffin

the meow meows playing minecraft :3

plus headcanons because i need to get this out of my brain:

-fyodor would only want to do speedruns or hardcore— he finds minecraft so boring without the challenge. he doesn't care about speedrun.net that much because, if he really wanted to be at the top of that list, he could probably bribe and hack his way in pretty easily. definitely the one out of the three who plays the most (total epic gamer). sometimes (usually because nikolai asks him to) fyodor will hack servers and cause chaos for a little bit before he gets banned (for, like, the 300th time). probably knows how to make super complicated redstone shit but he hardly ever does. favorite biomes: plains, deserts, warped forests

-nikolai causes destruction everywhere he goes. when playing on servers hes a griefer, and when he plays alone/with his friends he just tortures every mob imaginable. prefers to play in creative, and will fly/glide around exploding stuff. he sets villages on fire and watches all the villagers scream and run around in pain and then laughs really loud about it. makes pits of animals that are so densely packed they start dying. he also stretches the game to its limit, spawning in so much stuff that it completely glitches out. the kinda guy to make a huge wolf army also. can entertain himself with this for a little while, but eventually he gets bored and goes to do something else. favorite biomes: coral reefs, nether wastelands, plains

-sigma never plays, but sometimes fyodor and nikolai are playing and he thinks it might be fun. definitely the "what's (insert basic minecraft thing)" to fyodor's "you dont know (insert basic minecraft thing)??????" never got the game explained to him (fyodor and nikolai both immediately ran off to do their own thing) and kept dying over and over. everyone got annoyed at him asking "how do i sprint?" "guys wait why cant i get over this (jump)" "whats this weird green thing why is it hissing at me" "how do i craft an axe" etc. eventually he figured it out and became a builder, every time they played making really cute little houses. always has at least two dogs and one cat that he cares for a lot. probably builds a farm but then gets too attached to the animals to actually kill them. prefers to have long lasting saves in easy mode that he'll build cooler and cooler builds on. eventually tries to recreate the sky casino. uses aesthetic shaders and always has really nice looking skins. favorite biomes: lush caves, flower forests, taiga.

the chat would just be like

what if red names/boogeyman had cannibalistic urges?? like imagine in 3rd life, people were starting to notice that their red name companions either mentioning or joking about consuming human flesh, either being worried about it or brushing it off as a joke. maybe near the end of it people realise its not really a joke when their red name companions eat their enemies and then last life rolls around, boogeyman curse brings more cannibalistic urges and the boogeyman arent afraid to declare said urges and even use it as a tool to get tools, food, etc. with all of the destruction and death that happened in Last life imagine all the unsuspecting future boogeymen/red names who suddenly wanted to take a big bite out of their past allies. and then double life rolls around!! considering people are conjoined at the soul, it would be pretty obvious to tell if your soulmate was thinking about eating you, probably out of anger and betrayal. joel being an absolute unit this season theres no doubt he used this to scare enemies away, just take a big chunk out of their leg and snicker when he hears both the scream of the victim and the scream of their soulmate and then limited life!! i could go on with this, but i think u get the jist now,,, and then secret life!! with the boogeyman curse almost canonically making people eat each other as zombies!! when people became infected with their boogeyman-ness they would stumble to kill and eat the body of whoever happened to be unlucky enough to run into the zombie.

alsdo thinking about scars thoughts of becoming infected in secret life, was he freaking out about actually being a zombie now?? sure, he feared it, he panicked about it, but notw that it actually happened what was he supposed to think?? he was just one of them now. or maybe he had a lot of fun with it!!!! considering this is a blog to talk about cannibal scar anyway i think he would joke about it at the least, its a scar thing to do

YES YES LOVE THIS. Red names deserve to be a bit fucked up. as a treat.

this is making me think about how scar was the first red name in 3rd life. which means scar was the one to find out about said cannibalistic urges. I think he'd be freaking out for a bit but you know... when your mouth waters at the sight of your ally maybe... just maybe it cant be that bad.... maybe hed even like the taste.... hmmm.....

anyway yes absolutely i love this. red names being cannibals is top tier.

[straycalamities]

🍀✨🌼🌺🥊 for ace?

this is an essay (oops) so readmore B') tons of ramblings especially about the concept, origins, and brainstorming of ace below

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

so when camp entre (truffula flu) was in its death throes, i kinda saw the end coming over the horizon and was already thinking "well, i'm really attached to a lot of the things we've done here what if i made an original webcomic based on that" and so i had to start populating it

well originally i made andrew to be in entre's spot and he was literally deoncelerized entre (until 2019 when he rly became his own thing w just some similarities) and i'm literally swagtre-obsessed til i die so i was like well obviously i want to recreate a similar dynamic so i literally made ace to be andrew's love-interest and foil. that's why i include swag as one of his inspirations and it's..kinda obvious too. but trufflu swag-mod was fine w the obvious inspiration so it's all good

it was like a decade ago i did this so things are fuzzy but i remember when things really Hit me was when i remembered(? or someone mentioned? i forgor. just basically i ended up watching) Ferris Bueller's Day Off and it literally smacked me in the face like i know Exactly what i want to do for this character now. i threw in some eddy from eene and kuzco from emperor's new groove and boom. i had him.

(i cant find my original drawings of him rn but he just. looked like some Dude at the beginning lol)

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

now we get to the next part of ace's development. so when i made him he was kinda just..on the backburner but! i got the idea to try and put him in thneedville/thornville high and develop him there, but i Also wanted there to be more girl charas in the au and i was like "well i think his personality would be really interesting in a girl chara" so i made him a girl for my concept for that au

him and his twin (was gonna be run by spike/rocky's mod) they were Ace and Anna (i think..) he still has the kinda original look here even if i made it a bit more feminine. he also doesnt have a twin anymore. i joke he absorbed her in the womb and that's why he's so lucky.

bc the thing i kept was when i originally made him (cis male), his name was gonna be Dwayne and he just chooses to go by Ace bc its a cooler name. and when i made him a girl his name was gonna be equally embarrassing so he..still ended up going by Ace. (i kept it. it's his deadname now LMAO) bc after the highschool au was a Flop for me, i was like well no i want him to be a guy again but decided to make him trans bc i didnt have a trans chara yet and i thought it was Time, especially as a trans man myself, to have a chara with those sorts of experiences like me :3

i was attached to the name Ace bc 1. its fkn cool 2. i always knew i wanted him to be asexual so. the puns 3. there's a lot more puns to be made w a name like Ace and it just fit his demeanor and stuff and the way he loves doing stuff with cards (cardtricks, poker, etc) there's a lot of weight on his name being Ace and i love it

his full name is Ace Dale Miller. and it was meant to sound redneck af. being someone born n raised in mississippi, i know the culture very well LMAO and so his middle name is bc his dad (regardless of being born afab) gave him that middle name bc of Dale Earnhardt. and Miller comes from the beer of the same name. bc that was a thing i wanted was his discontent and disconnect from his roots but never fully escaping them

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

in his mainverse (zombie apoc comic whenever that happens) i keep him early-mid 30s and typically that's the age-range i default to and have done the most to Set Up for. i like him being old enough to make a name for himself and be Set (before whatever plot happens to tear it all apart) and also being in that age but having the tendencies of a manbaby. it's funni to me

however in the cult au i want to eventually get running on a blog, he's going to be a senior in high school and being a teen is the general age-range i go for for that au

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

i'm a chronic multi-shipper especially with my own ocs, so he's had flings with a lot of my friends' and former-friends' ocs, but the main chara i default to (and is canon in his canon universes) is Andrew :3

he was literally created to go with him so. ya.

exposes my obvious swagtre-redraws but acedrew. the Original Vision

but like i said i'm always down to clown with any oc with him at any time. he's just hard to love and hard to get to realize he loves. so everyone has to be prepared for that LMAO

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

his favorite things to do: be right, be correct, other people be wrong but not him, mobile games like candy crush, poker, card-tricks, darts, billiards, blackjack, craps, you get the idea he likes to gamble and do stuff you find in bars, he also likes singing, he also likes getting his way by any means necessary like it's a thrill for him to outplay and even manipulate other people so that things end up in his favor when luck isn't already working for him, he likes to show off but only when it works and people fawn over him for being so cool and skilled. oh yeah he also lowkey likes pranks and trolling ppl but he doesn't do it a ton? so i wouldn't call him A Prankster, but he does enjoy it.

he hates doing things that are the opposite of all that. like he hates being wrong, loathes losing, he hates being bored, hates getting dirty, hates too much manual labor, hates being inconvenienced especially in the smallest ways (but he does like a Challenge so this isn't the same thing as that), he hates emotions especially confronting or even recognizing his own that aren't happy good time emotions, he hates crying (him or other ppl)

the thing about him is he complains and bitches and moans about the smallest shit but if something Big and Serious were to happen to him either emotionally or physically, he'd play it off like he's fine. he's okay (he promises). like he'll whine about a paper cut all day but catch him with a mortal wound tearing through his middle and he'll hide it and march on til the blood-loss gets him. he's just That Guy.

[naaicha]

so i am slowly watching s2 of good omens with my family and i suppose so far i’m.. lukewarm on it? it IS funny which is good but also i can’t help but notice how much it’s become the heaven and hell show and it feels very much like gaiman is sort of spinning his wheels with that. the zombie stuff was like you get some silly gags i guess but it kinda comes out of nowhere and i’m like i REALLY wish you would just get back to solving the damn mystery actually

the flashback scenes were a fun addition in s1 but this season it just seems like a rehash of the same stuff. ostensibly i guess it’s showing all the times crowley was nice but again. we already know he does that so it’s not really adding anything new. like leave that to the fanfiction writers actually bc that’s what fanfiction is for.

i understand why the them wouldn’t be in the show anymore bc kids grow up but the decision to have none of the human characters come back is really disappointing for me i guess. even if i didn’t LOVE the execution in s1 (newt…) i think anathema’s arc finishes in a really interesting place also she was like my favorite character when i was a kid and she’s a quintessential pratchett Sensible Woman Character so i’m biased. but i love her and i miss her. so yeah basically everything i said the other day is still true. good omens as a book is about how wonderful and unpredictable humanity is and that’s simply not what this show is about. which is fine i can judge it and even enjoy it on other levels as long as we all understand it’s a Different Thing

maybe with less detours it could be a fun tight little mystery because that seems to be the angle they’re going for? sometimes? i like that as an idea but eh idk if it’s working for me yet but i have 2 more episodes left.

cant weigh in on the romance yet and i haven’t been paying that much attention but i am somewhat. wary of turning the characters into the fanfiction versions of themselves? but also maybe i’m a bad person to ask bc i don’t have a hard stance one way or the other on making the old man yaoi happen. like morally i support the concept but personally it’s not a NEED. i do think it’s a bit retconny to have them consider each other friends pre-s1 because there is the humor of them pretending to associate just for work when actually they just like hanging out

i’m not sure if they’re spinning it like crowley has been actively pining for millennia but i will say. if i were going to write this as a romance from s1 it’s like, these two characters have always had each other around so they take that relationship for granted and the impending armageddon makes them reevaluate what they actually care about. that’s what makes something like crowley thinking aziraphale actually got taken out in s1 a big moment because it’s like oh wait, the idea of losing this person is the scariest thing to me. so like if you want you could dedicate some time to characters working through their feelings properly and hitting the romcom beats. i think they’re doing a lot of the relationship development in flashbacks but they should have just done that in present day imo. even though i know period dress is fun to do

[buffa-z]

ep 7

keiwas last video diary i think

ACE WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE GET DOWN OFF THAT SCAFFOLDING RIGHT NOW!!!!

ok but this is top 5 outfits of his

OH his first flash back and his adopted catchphrase! yay!

awww the letter from keiwas childhood

ninja foreshadowing lol

NEON IS STILL STREAMING??? but this is her first techwear outfit its so cute the outfit is so cute but STOP STREAMING YOUR LOCATION virtual background technology exists and you have to use it

oh good cant forget our man in a dress jokes. great. needed that. uh huh. awesome

neon running into the dgp with the song still playing from her phone lol

aw tsumuri was on lunch break

oooh keiwa getting good with the crossbow! stealth kills!

remember the knight jamato when it was insane

ITS EATING PEOPLE

"it has one of the highest body counts in the dgp but it also has a glaring weakspot: this monster energy can"

it did a fortnite dance on them??? owned??? epic gamer???

michinaga bandaging himself up bc he would never let anyone else touch him are you kidding? but that means he gets the first aid kit last. a little bit of symbolism for the table?

ACE HISTORY FACT COUNTER: 5! there was a DGP that ended with all the riders wiped out by the knight jamato

girori backs this up and does not seem surprised that ace knows this. im guessing in a previous game the story was told but that was before the other three showed up, so they think ace just magically knows that.

ace: well it happened before i was a player

keiwa: you seem to know a lot about the dgp ace. how long have you been playing?

ace: since the dawn of the common era

keiwa: i was being serious

ace: if you wont believe me then dont ask

^ i know this is supposed to be Major Old Clues, like really big obvious ones, but cmon man of course nobody believes you. dont get defensive about that. you literally lie constantly why would they believe you. even if it was true which it isnt

michinaga: wait a second wtf are you even wishing for? you already won every game you entered? what the fuck else could you want?

ace: well its not any of your guys wishes

(michinaga getting mad and then remembering he did tell geats about his wish)

girori is suspicious of ace and let me theorize: he knows upper management wants eyes on ace at all times, but wont say why. ace has won at least four games in a row already, which is bad for selling a game like the dgp. he also knows ace's wish this game is the family thing, which is really weird and not understandable. this is where girori decides to try to kill ace

michinaga picking a fight w keiwa over the boost buckle. which is mean but not wrong, buffa could probably get a full win with boost zombie. esp bc if keiwa gave him the boost buckle she wouldnt have gotten hurt and ace wouldnt get the ninja buckle.

aww ace and neon going to lunch together at the soba shop

ace trying his best to help neon navigate the world but his true nature is so deadpan he seems like an asshole, except that neons autism counters his exactly and she doesnt care that hes not emoting

neon taking the ethical approach of like. is it ok to care about my wish when people are going to die? (note that she appears to be raised christian)

ace, who has been rewarded every round: its our compensation for fighting

neon, who has never won: ok....

ace, remembering shes not an enemy: but fighting no matter what is awesome too

neon: [ohhh so hes crazy but he likes me]

ace continuing to eat while sara fawns over him and neon lol

ace: [seething with jealousy] you guys are close

sara: yeah well our parents died when we were kids so

ace: [why did i fucking have to say something] mustve been rough [shoving food in his mouth to avoid talking]

neon/sara actually does make a lot of sense at this point and it is cute. but im staying a neosae warrior. but more than that its awesome for a woman to have more than one potential female love interest. first feminist ship wars?

neon vocalizing being jealous of having a good sibling relationship and it immediately cuts to ace hovering back from the group watching them like hes not allowed to touch

ace suddenly to keiwa: i understand wanting world peace now

literally he eats dinner with friends one time and remembers the meaning of being alive

oh keiwa dont ask about his family

"i forgot" YOU FORGOT?!??!!?

immediately changes subject

sara calling it their last supper jeez

knight is now 30 meters tall

i love how they all spawn in on top of the park ride pieces

everyone being like keiwa you can do it cant you? you can fight the big bad and win?

she does do really good with the bike tho

FUCK what a hit. shes still up and running tho like she Is a kamen rider

geats is gonna save her bc he wants that buckle but in the end jts for her so yknow. alls well that will end well maybe

THE FOX HAND FUCK YOU MAN

"do you really enjoy the game that much? even when the world is in danger?"

yeah. he does. bc its always gone well for him.

neon looking conflicted bc she wants to like ace but he keeps doing this shit

ninja debut!

foreshadowing the multitude of geats

geats is mad as fuck that it caught the can

michinaga: how did you know there was a ninja buckle?

geats: [hiding his chat correspondence with ziin] i played this game far longer than any of you (we call this the joe biden defense where im from)

ace is genuinely not grasping why the other two are upset bc he knows that as long as they survive they get to come back. but crucially THEY DONT KNOW THAT

lets all look at each other while some saloon piano plays yayyy

[mcybree]

I always feel a little bad when I write a long response to posts on the internet because I feel like it intimidates people so HI. DONT BE ALARMED. IM HARMLESS SOURCE TRUST ME. Anyways:

^^ OP tags ^^

Honestly I think he’s just afraid to get too close to people. He’s never going to say that but it’s like he has trouble connecting on a genuine level with pretty much anyone. He was extremely close with Pearl but (gestures to DL) I do think that scared him. There’s a sort of vulnerability required to foster a genuine connection with someone and last life forced that vulnerability by starting him off on two lives. But in every other season it’s like he cant figure out how to really truly love like he should even though he does want to and. Does? To an extent? It’s complicated.

What I’m trying to say is that I think it’s such a gray area in whether or not to read it as pride or love because it’s a gray area for him, too.

I don’t think he means to win every time as much as he has built an internal system which makes it impossible for him to fail. This internal system unfortunately relies heavily on him remaining in control of his own emotions, something he doesn’t actually know how to do so he just shelves them entirely and pretends he doesn’t care when shit happens (my favorite example of this is the entirety of third life, but examples specifically in relation to this subject: him not giving a fuck about both martyns limlife betrayal and gems zombie betrayal.) This stifles his ability to feel love or express it in a way that isn’t purely transactional; it’s not impossible for him to do so but it is very difficult for him to see people beyond a basic “I give you this, you give me this,” and he determines his standing with people based on how much they owe him or very rarely vice versa (scott hates feeling like he owes people. He says this outright in an SL episode but he’s also hesitant to give out IOUs unless it’s for sure a good deal and parameters are discussed beforehand). This is more observable in how he acts with people that aren’t his direct allies tbh but he does also still do this with his direct allies (see: SL session 9, scott telling gem she cant prioritize other alliances because he let her kill him), it’s just less strictly material debts. He gets along well with Cleo because I think Cleo functions similarly on a surface level but Cleo also has a self awareness and an emotional core that makes relationships more than just a series of transactions that Scott lacks. Points to their SL interaction where Scott tells Cleo to kill Etho for extra hearts, and Cleo doesn’t even consider it.

Additionally this isnt like. DIRECT evidence and is also a bit of a tangent, but since last life scott is sort of the exception I think examining him and pearls interactions in that series gives some insight, because while scott genuinely cares about her it’s like he keeps trying to talk to her in “his language,” assuming she works similarly in relationships being strictly transactional (“I was thinking you should give me a life because we have a better shot at winning if we’re together” after joel kills him VS what I think he actually means, “can I have a life because we’re friends and I want to stay by your side”). He doesn’t understand why Pearl does anything for him when he technically owes her, so when she does nice things for him anyways he gets all giddy and excited about it which. Sorry guys I know I love to be a scott hater on this blog but I do have lots of clips saved to my phone of him just being really cute with pearl. it makes me emotional man. they really were best friends it’s agonizing to think about with how he treats her later BUT WHATEVERRR WHATEVER I DONT CAAAARE im fine its cool its cool its cool

tldr I think he uses his allies but I don’t think it’s malicious as much as it comes from the combination of a lack of understanding of how relationships work + a high self standard resulting in a personal inability to fail

no let’s talk about cScott’s strategy in the life series being the social game. Let’s talk about how he’ll just kinda play nice with everyone and get to very high placements as a result. Do you wonder if his past allies feel used by him? If they feel like they’re just part of the strategy of his own game? Did you realize how rarely Scott has recurring alliances? Do you think they wonder about if they were just someone Scott could get to a higher result to feel good about? Or someone that could get him the win? Or are you normal

all I’m saying is usually we go on lengthy talks about Scott being nice and sweet and wholesome but this guy (character) is good at the murder game! Really worryingly good! Let’s delve into that some more!

[myszumizu]

Hello I saw that your box was open and would like to request a either noctyx or luxiem accidental relationship reveal.

Where reader or the members accidentally reveal their relationship on stream. I like the cute reactions of the boys getting flustered or shocked.

Hope you like it

THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING <33 , and thank you guys for the support on my last post!! I CANT BELIEVE THERE WAS OVER A HUNDRED LIKES! THANK YOUUUUU!

gn!reader, fluff

HOW NOCTYX WOULD ACCIDENTALLY REVEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP

ALBAN

. it just slipped out

. while alban tries his absolute best to keep your relationship hidden, he would eventually let the cat out of the bag

. happens when y’all were doing a collab

. probably when playing minecraft

. it was nighttime and you two were still out doing whatever

. you came into contact with a zombie and because you had just respawned, you did not have any of your loot and could not defend yourself

. “ALBAN, HELP! THERE’S AN UGLY ZOMBIE HITTING MEEEE!”

. “OMG, BABE! NOOOOO! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY LOVE!”

. yeah, you died

. and alban just revealed your relationship

. double fucked

. chat goes wild and the mods are panicking behind screen

. “alban you idiot.”

. “eh? what?”

. “YOU JUST REVEALED OUR RELATIONSHIP!”

. after a bit of processing, alban goes “OH SHIT.”

. he panics and gets all red-faced

. cue you hitting alban with your fists

. but it all turned out alright

. now alban can call you babe whenever he wants

. that’s a win i guess

FULGUR

. the moment y’all got together, he would have already dropped hints about your relationship

. acts like you two are a married couple 24/7

. chat asks a lot if you two are together but fulgur always gives an ambiguous answer

. but one fateful day, the truth is revealed

. you were over at fulgur’s house just to chill

. he had a stream scheduled

. while he was streaming, you were in the background on your phone

. suddenly, you had to get up to go get something

. as you were walking, you accidentally tripped and fell with a thud

. obviously, this alerted your boyfriend and he instinctively turned to find you on the ground, groaning in pain

. without hesitation, he goes, “oh god baby are you alright?”

. to which you replied, “yeah yeah i’m fine.”

. right after you said that, you realised what you’ve just done

. chat heard your voice and within seconds, the entire chat is flooded with comments

. “oh fuck, you’re streaming fulgur.”

. “shoot.”

. tries to change the topic but fails miserably because he’s so flustered

. the suspicions were confirmed

. [name] x fulgur is real

. “hehe, sorry [name] but now everyone knows you’re mine.”

. oh fulgur, they knew LONG ago

SONNY

. now, chat doesn’t suspect that you two are “together together”

. but they do suspect that there is some hidden feelings going on behind that screen

. i think how sonny would reveal your relationship would be by pure accident

. sonny was about to begin a stream

. however, he left his mic unmuted

. a very common mistake made by many streamers

. you just so happened to be at his house

. and you were also unaware of the fact that sonny had left his mic unmuted

. you were bringing food and water to sonny before his stream started

. “handsome taichou, here’s your food.”

. “ah, thank you love.”

. chat instantly recognises your voice

. chat overload

. at this point, you guys were still oblivious to everything happening

. “[name], can you give me a quick kiss before i officially start the stream?”

. obviously you give him the kiss

. when sonny started the stream, he was puzzled as to why the chat was so active

. after reading through the comments, he mentally facepalmed

. “[n-name], i left my mic unmuted. chat heard everything.”

. well, now you don’t have anything to hide

. good job sonny

UKI

. definitely reveals it when y’all stream

. okay so, most, if not all, of the nijisanji en members (professor included hehe) would have already known about your relationship

. you were doing another among us mega-collab and you were the imposter along with elira and reimu

. the only imposter left was you and you had already killed someone else, meaning you only had to eliminate one other person in order for you to win

. you had been following uki around for quite some time, waiting for the cooldown

. when it finally cooldowned, you went straight for the kill

. the game ends and all of you come together again

. uki is malding

. “[NAME], FUCK YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? IM YOUR BOYFRIEND! HOW COULD YOU, YOU CHEATER!”

. everyone goes dead silent

. “oh wait shit. nononononono.”

. “uki…”

. suddenly, everyone bursts out laughing, leaving a stunned you and an embarrassed uki

. after a few seconds, both you and uki regain your composure

. “okay [name], now that EVERYONE knows, can we fu-“

. “uki.”

. of course we can uki

YUGO

. his would be a very unique case

. at least i think it’s unique

. yugo was busy composing yet another song that was inspired by you

. now, he was writing the lyrics based off what he felt

. he was streaming this as well and didn’t notice that the lyrics he wrote was basically telling the tales about your relationship

. the lyrics were very genuine

. no names were mentioned until something unexpected happened

. “ah thank you for the superchat! ‘i really like the lyrics to this song! was there any inspirations?’ [name] of course! this was all about them!”

. yugo was so excited to talk about you he didn’t process what he said

. he continued to talk before finally realising that he had just revealed your relationship

. his eyes widened and he immediately went, “WAIT THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!”

. too late yugo, chat already knows

. “AHH [NAME], IM SORRYYYY!”

. you were already in chat and took in a deep sigh

. you joined the call and hear a sniffling yugo

. “it’s okay yugo, now we don’t have anything to hide.”

. yeah it’s alright yugo

. now chat knows how much you love [name]

[petalsgf]

whats it like to be... happy

[n-ugg]

What if, no one came

Charlie watched the final parts of the fire signal burn out. The sun was setting and he can feel that time was up

The groaning from the zombies surrounding him got louder. With each mindless groan it gets overlapped by the sound of the walls that he tried so hard to keep up, getting so easily torn down. He keeps looking ahead of where the final bits of the smoke travel, just holding out for some kind of hope, that maybe someone may come out to help.

But no one came

"This is the end, Charlie" Patient Zero is at the other side and has the herd at bay. All of them are hungry but are waiting for one command

Charlie's bottom jaw hovers as he looks at the direction of the smoke. "They-...they didn't come"

Tommy just scoffs, "No one ever comes." He lifts his staff ahead. "You have a choice here, Charlie; you either choose to fight me and my herd-" seems like he stifled a small laugh. "It's pathetic! You cant fight on your own-!"

"I-I can! I-I-I made it 99 days! One more shouldn't be so hard!" Charlie was desperate to find some sort of way to get out. "With the help from the people I found! With people I have became friends with! They-they-"

"Where are they?"

Charlie lifted his head from his hands and was confused for a small bit. "Wh-what?"

"Your friends. Where are they?"

Charlie's mouth hovers again. He wants to yell out that they will be here. That they need to be. But the tears swell as he knows far too well that it isn't true.

Tommy just smiles. "You are surrounded by my army. You don't stand a chance here on your own.'' he raises the spear over head. "May the best zombie win!" He points at Charlie as the herd rushes to the base

Charlie watched as the herd from all around swarmed closer. Not being phased by the lava barrier, just taking the burning and climbing over. He takes out the mace as the young cackling can be heard. He quickly swings at the one that passed over and is rushing to him. The other end of the base is getting breached.

He swings and gets rid of one zombie but there is still so much more around. There's more jumping over and they are starting to get quicker. He can't handle this many at once.

Charlie looks ahead, in hopes that he can just hear the roaring engine coming to the rescue. Or at least that supposed wizard to come out and help. But...

Nothing

Charlie looks back at a small hole was cornered into. He takes a deep breath before jumping in. He is quick on running down the tunnel, hearing the zombies scream and run right after him. He wasn't thinking, just running towards the only spot that can give some sort of delusion of safety.

The tunnel was a lot more...stretched out than before. Charlie is barely taking note of it as his breath is almost gone. The odd feeling of his legs feeling weaker. The adrenaline is starting to wear off but the groans still sound right behind him. He can't stop running now, if he drops, he's dead.

Charlie continues to run until he can feel his chest burn up. But he kept pushing. Trying to ignore his chest tightening as the zombies are still behind him. But his legs doesn't seem to agree with him. As Charlie's legs began to wobble, he finally looks back and see...nothing

Just the outstretched tunnel he has been running through.

Charlie smiles in relief before taking the pause, then drops.

Instead of landing on the rocks of the caves, it's the wooden floor of a familiar shop. He softly smiles to himself as the goat is still there. Seeming more pissed off at his return after what happened.

The goat hybrid ahead of him glared as he was leaning against his desk. "Real world brought you back?" A slight chuckle leaves him, "Of course it did. Wouldn't have lasted that attack for a second longer if I left."

Charlie pushed himself up, still being out of breath. "Please...give me that apple."

The goat man's smile grew, "That little british brat broke you down that bad?" He laughs as Charlie raises himself up and leans against the wood. Still feeling the cramp in his legs. The goat man held out his hand and there appeared the golden apple Charlie rejected.

Charlie's eyes widen as he watches the apple materialize in the goat's hand. There was screaming from deep down. Yelling at him to turn back and face the herd. This can't be the last option. But his more sensible side, the side that's a part of this reality, knows that this can help in some way. It's worth risking whatever to make sure he won't get torn to shreds by the herd above.

The man ahead chuckles again, "Come on, Charlie. Eat the apple."

The screaming in Charlie's head and the groaning from above started to fade out as he felt himself get pulled closer. He used the wall to keep himself steady, barely stopping when he wobbled to the table ahead. Charlie leans against it as the golden apple is waved in his face. He goes to reach it until his own questions finally speak up. "Wait...how-how do you know my name?"

The goat man laughs as the apple gets pulled back. The sounds of everything slowly reaching Charlie's ears. "What do you think? I already told you, I have seen everything."

Charlie gets a flash of...a memory? That hasn't happened? He was surrounded and trying to fight back. Slowly getting tired but being determined. Charlie moves back as he holds onto himself. Hugging himself to try to shield himself from the scratching that isn't coming but he can feel.

"I already saw what would've happened if I didn't stay."

Another flash

He was getting torn apart. One swing didn't have enough force and it got stuck. The zombies surrounding took advantage of this to latch onto him and start to yank and tear at his body. They are not around, he knows this but he can feel the tearing that isn't there.

Charlie pushes back as he tries to keep himself together. In desperate attempts of keeping himself in one piece. "He-help! Help! Help me! Please!" His voice was strained as it hadn't had any time to recover. Tears start to prick as the feeling of his body getting aggressively torn apart grows. "Ma-make it stop! Please!"

The goat man tilts his head at Charlie falling over and still trying to hold onto himself. He shakes his head and moves the apple in hand closer to him. The feeling that Charlie has slowly melted away, but the stinging remains. "It wouldn't have happened if you took it the first time."

He tosses up the apple and Charlie was quick on grabbing it. The stings melt away but something is still trying to reach out to him. He can feel the undead all around but they can never reach. The voices that were yelling at him to reject it have been fully muffled out by something else. The call to eat the golden apple to be saved from this hellhole. He can hear its promise to save him, he just needs to take a small bite.

And he does.

Charlie raises the apple up to his lips as the fear of danger is faded away. Its promises are growing stronger and louder. He sinks his teeth in and the groaning from before is gone. He can feel the zombies being far far away from him. He swallows the piece and everything changes.

Charlie gets a rush of memories flooding in his head. Each adventure comes back. All from many worlds he was apart in. Feeling everything again, seeing everything. The power that was dormant before surges through his veins. He can feel his godhood return to him.

But within the flood, he found something.

"Schlatt!"

Schlatt cackles, "It's great to have you back Charlie!"

Charlie looks down and sees the golden apple in hand. Seeing the bite he had just taken. The dread returns to him as he just realized what had happened. He drops the apple on the ground as the goat man continues to laugh. "You-you tricked me! I-I thought we banished you! We did banish you!-"

"You can't banish the one that controls everything!"

Charlie shakes his head till he remembers something. Bizly, Grizz and Condi are here! He can save the first two. But-but if he can find the zombie that Condi has turned he-he can reverse it! Right?!

He turns to run out of the shop but there is a barrier that holds him back. He hits the invisible wall as the cackling continues. "Schlatt! I have to go and save them! I need to go! Let me go!"

"Oh don't bother." Schlatt moves away from his spot and walks closer to Charlie. "They're long gone, dead since you ran down here. Those zombies got them."

Charlie freezes at this. "N-no no! They can't! I-I can save them! They-they need me! LET ME-"

Charlie mouth gets frozen open as he can feel the claw land on his shoulder. Schlatt begins to quietly shush him. Charlie tries to move his mouth or to yell something out, but nothing. Schlatt raises a hand to turn Charlie's face to him. He lifts the jaw shut with a finger. The air was suddenly dragged out of his lungs. "There's nothing you can do." There was still a smirk on his face and he goes to lightly slap Charlie's cheek. "Let's get out of here."

There was a sudden breath that returned to Charlie as the fabrics of reality outside of the shop started to tear. He drops and lands into a coughing fit. Kneeling in front of Schlatt as he desperately tries to gain his breathing. He was still muttering something. "Please, pleasepleaseplease. I need them back."

Schlatt knelt down, "You see them again, don't worry."

Charlie looks up to him and tries to keep himself together. "I-I had them here. I just want them back to normal." He plead, just trying to get something

Schlatt's smirk grew as he got up. The floor beneath them starts to fall apart. The cracks from the floorboards tearing themselves apart. The world around them shifted into a plane that was just filled with darkness "Again, you'll see them. It will just be a bit different."

There was a painful headache that suddenly appeared. Charlie held his head as the pain just grew, screaming at the feeling that something was tearing his skull apart.

"Remember, you ate the apple."

Gold liquid started to pour out of his eyes and head. There was a sudden new weight on his head and it's growing even heavier. He felt something tighten around his neck as he was forced to stand. Charlie tries to grab whatever it is but grasp at nothing.

"You just need to listen to me in this new scenario."

Charlie felt the pressure around his neck release him. His body falls as it's weak by the amount of overwhelming pain that he was in. His body shakes against the ground before getting a proper look.

It's...it's the ground from Molympus. It's the green glass from his throne, now having the red from the blood he spat out. He continues to cough as he tries so hard to regain his breath

Three shadows grow closer around him. "Charlie?! Charlie! You are going to be just fine! Condi! Get one of your potions!" It's...it's Grizz! Before the banishment.

Charlie looks up and sees Condi run off as Grizz gets closer to help him to sit up and Bizly takes off his cloak to cover him. The air slowly returns to him as he gets covered by the fluffy cloak and is leaned against the base of his throne.

Condi rushes back and hands Charlie the potion. Charlie lets out a few coughs before taking and downing it.

His three friends surround him, each of them being visibly concerned. He was still shaking as he held the bottle close. His body was still weak but it was no longer on fire.

"Dude..." Bizly spoke up as a small chicken jumped onto his lap. "What the hell happened?"

"Yeah, none of us have ever gotten in this state. And especially not you." Condi added in

Charlie's eyes were still heavy as he tried to talk to them. "It-it was...nothing"

"It wasn't nothing. You were suffocating when we were just talking" Grizz pointed out and all three were obviously not going to just take that answer.

Charlie shook his head, he forced his eyes open and looked over to the group and he was frozen again. Schlatt was back

The goat man was behind the group, none of the three seemed to notice his presence and were focused on Charlie's reaction. The three tried to get his attention but Charlie can only focus on Schlatt

"They don't seem to be listening to you, Charlie."

His eyes start to have a yellow glow. The three men start to get up, not knowing what's going on but knows it wont go anywhere good.

"They need to be punished, right?"

Involuntary, his body stands up on his own as his eyes get completely covered in a golden glow. The cloak drops as the three can see his hand have a light take the form of a sword.

Charlie can see his friends grow more tense. Yelling something out, it's all muffled as the three get into a more defensive stance. Those muffles are completely taken out as he can hear the voice right next to him

"Let's make sure they listen next time"

Ranking the commanders of FG properly:

⁽ⁿᵒ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʳᵉᵈᵈᶦᵗ ᵖᵒˢᵗ ᵈᶦᵈⁿ'ᵗ ᵘᵖˢᵉᵗ ᵐᵉ ᵒʳ ᵃⁿʸᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ⁾

Disclaimer I am ranking them as fictional characters because that's what they are, obviously real-life would rank wildly different. Audience likeability comes into it. The biggest crime a fictional character can commit is irritate the audience, and the murders didn't actually happen. Anyway,

Vivian - the perfect commander to introduce FG actually. she was cool, she was charming, everyone loved her. she made good decisions and dealt with shit well I think. good commander all round. what more do you need. ALTHOUGH my issues with zombie island do impact her ranking because she was a believer in it and I have so many issues with zombie island so overall 8/10 because she was epic and a good leader but her long-term plan was extremely shaky

Chase - I liked Chase. he had to deal with a lot more than he bargained for honestly and that's Carey's fault. also I've said this before but Major didn't help. Major complicated a lot for Chase and he's also the one that gave him the advice that made him go ahead with the OG Renegade execution that made him a villain. honestly I don't have any big issues with Chase. I think he tried his best. I think the circumstances got to him a bit but I don't think he did significantly worse than anyone else would've. I'm giving him a 7/10 because he did the best he could and I can't hold that against him

Major - listen. as a character, I like Major. when he's interacting with Liv and Ravi I'm like 'this guy :D' the moment he's at FG tho. brother. this guy not cut out to be a commander. you cannot lead a military government just because you're the most popular with the bros. Hobbs did a misjudge on that. Major doesn't DO anything. there are actual hatecrimes happening and he's like "we cant do anything about it or it'll look bad :/" like DUDE. like CMON. some of his men were killed in action because of his lax policies and he's like "I can give you their backstories. no justice only backstory." sir I know you're in over your head but a little effort. also I think FG just brought out the worst in Major even before he was commander. not even talking about the child soldiers, just his general character. like go home and play video games with Ravi man you're scaring me :( but yeah that's why we're here at 2/10 because he was too worried about being as uncontroversial as possible to actually do he job

Enzo - READ MY USERNAME AND WEEP. THIS MAN CAN DO NO WRONG AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED. IF HE WANTS TO DO A LITTLE KILLING SOBEIT. HES EARNED IT. but in seriousness I'm not fully convinced he knew what he was doing. props to him for wanting to stick up for zombies and put an end to the hategroups tho. but his way of going about things was.... perhaps terrible? but like he tried to get anyone else to do it. finally decided "be the change you want to see in the world new seattle" and then proceeded to stumble and fall on his face. the effort was there. the civil war didn't help his public image either. in terms of leadership, solid 4/10 because his heart was in the right place, he had potential, but he definitely could've done a lot better (sorry bro)
