Stay In The Light

This is part 9 of Snow In The Dark. I hope you like it :)

Fic Summary: Snow has never known who she was. Being raised in the streets made her strong but lonely. That changed when she met Jack them becoming as close as sisters. She thought she found her family. That all changes when she crashes on a planet with only one rule. Stay in the light.

Part Summary: Snow learns who her true friends are.

Riddick x OC Snow

Warnings: Language. Mention of deaths.

Let me know if you want to be tagged :P : @here4thespice @amarokofficial @backseat-serenade-dizzyhurricane @pinkcrystal44 @goblingirlsarah @shelbyteller @classyunknownlover @sparklingnightfox @murphy3691 @vvs-dlxodyd @goblingirlsarah

The next half an hour is spent rushing to get everything that makes light and putting it on a makeshift sled.

All of us join together only speaking when we have to. My heart pounded in my chest telling me how worried I was.

Of course I was. I was trapped on a planet with things that wanted to eat me and really no dependable way to defend myself.

I couldn’t help but worry about myself, worry about Jack. She was helping just as anyone else, her being brave and acting like she was fine.

I hate to admit she reminded me a lot of myself at that age. Always trying to fight to keep yourself alive. She was scared I was as well.

We were all scared. The only one of us that didn’t seem to be was Riddick. Him walking around the ship telling us all what to do like he knew exactly how this night was going to play out.

The thing is I knew he was right.

“I’ll be running about ten paces ahead.” He says, Carylon following behind him while I sat next to Paris making cocktails.

“I want light on my back but not on my eyes.” He says, holding his hand up to block the light as he walks past Paris holding the cutting torch.

“And check your cuts. These bad boys know our blood now.” He says, his eyes meeting mine.

I had a busted lip. Is that what he meant?

Looking over at Jack I see her frozen looking up at him with fear on her face. My stomach drops, oh no running through my head.

Standing up I ignore Paris asking me where I’m going. Dusting my hands off I walk over to her and crouch down in front of her, her snapping back to work.

“Everything okay?” I whisper, helping her roll up the cord of light.

Her worried eyes meet mine, her shaking her head.

“It’s that time?” I whisper again, not wanting anyone to hear us.

She nods, not looking at me.

“I’ll find something.” I say standing up once more.

Using a flash light I found, I ease back into the ship half remembering seeing a first aid kit back there.

I stop hearing footsteps looking over to see Johns standing there.

“Where do you think you're going?” He asks, his gun pointed in my direction.

“To go pee, you wanna watch?” I ask glaring at him.

He flushed with embarrassment, and took a step back.

“Thought so.” I say, moving away from him.

Taking a breath I shine the light around in the darkness almost jumping out of my skin when the shine of eyes flash for just a second.

Without thinking I move closer to him, encasing us in darkness besides my flashlight. Keeping it aimed at the floor, I stop when I reach him.

The primal smell of him wrapping around me makes my stomach tighten. I take a breath, feeling his fingertips brush over my hand as he clicks the light off.

I open my mouth to say something, Riddick’s large hand coming up to cover it stopping me.

I try to ignore my racing heart or the urge to throw myself at him. I clench my fist as best I can, feeling Riddick bend down so our noses almost touch. I could feel his eyes looking deep in mine.

His arm wraps around my waist pulling me closer to him, making me bend into him as he leans over me.

If I could bite my lip I would, all thoughts of what I was doing back here are out the window. The only thing present is the bubble me and Riddick has created. Despite the darkness around us my eyes flutter close. The heat and pressure of him wrapped around me making me want to melt.

Dropping his hand from my mouth he places it on my back. Him dipping himself lower to run his nose over my neck makes me shiver.

My eyes snap open when I hear a sound, expecting a monster to come flying our way. I blush when I realize it came from me.

A low rumble leaving my chest or was it my throat it sounded almost like a purr. Blushing, I pull away from him and shake my head.

“I need to go.” I say, stepping back.

Feeling my foot hit something I don’t have time to react before I trip over whatever it was. My arms are flying out to grab anything to stop myself. Strong arms wrapping around me once again. Riddick kept me from falling.

“Sorry.” I say pushing my hair behind my ear from being nervous.

“I really should go. We don’t have a lot of time.” I say, not moving, Riddick’s arms comfortable around me.

I hear a familiar rumble of him humming an agreement, him letting go of me and taking a step back.

“Thank you.” I say, starting to turn around. Stopping when I realize I dropped my flashlight.

“It’s broken.” Riddick says, him seeing what I was doing.

“Great. I was looking for something.” I say more to myself than him.

“I’ll never find it now.”

I blush when I feel his large hand wrap around my wrist. Him pulling me behind him as he walks back towards the others. Back towards the light.

As soon as we reach the glow of the light both of us are still half covered in shadows Riddick’s touch leaves mine.

Him lifting a box in the air. It is clearly a first aid kit.

“Can you read minds?” I ask, taking it gently from him, a smirk dancing along his lips but quickly disappearing.

“We need to get going.”

“I’ll be ready in five.” I say, earning a slow nod.

Slipping on his goggles he heads back towards the others, I right behind him.

After we get everything ready. Including me helping Jack with her problem we head towards the door ready to face the beasts outside. Riddick pushing it open the weird sounds of them filling the air.

“Are we actually going to do this?” Paris asks, holding the cutting torch up.

“Did you have any better plans?” I ask, ignoring the glares I get from the others.

“We stay together, we keep the light burning.” Carolyn says sternly.

“That’s all we gotta do to live through this thing.” She says looking around at all of us. Her leaving us to go get Johns.

I stand by the door, next to Riddick, anxiously ready to get off this planet.

I don’t bother saying anything hearing Johns talk just over our heads.

“You give him the cells and the ship and he’ll leave you all out there to die.” Johns says, making me clench my jaw.

Johns seemed like he was only looking out for himself.

“He’ll leave all of you.” He says.

Seeing Riddick’s jaw jump I look over at him, him looking dead ahead.

“And they call you the criminal.” I say, him not answering me.

“Just so we’re clear, if he doesn't make it I won’t be sad about it.” I say, hearing them come down the steps not caring if they heard me. The rest gather at the door of the ship.

“Here.” Johns says, handing me some of the glowing cord to wrap around me.

“I’m not putting that on me and being tied to you, no thanks.”

“Everyone needs to pull their weight.”

“And I will, I'll help drag the thing but I’m not being tied to anyone."

“Even if it was him?” He says, jerking his head towards Riddick.

“Knock it off. Just stay close to the sled.” She says, everyone shutting up when Riddick walks up to us handing me a giant glow stick.

Kinda confused. I take it from him and crack it, shaking it up making the bright neon green lighting up the space around me.

“Let's move.” He says

I take a breath and get into position as we all take off jogging out into the darkness.

I try not to think about the sounds around me, just keep my eyes focused on Riddick. On the lights on his back. I kept telling myself follow that and you’ll be fine.

Just had to keep up.

It wasn’t long before the cutting torch used its last bit of fuel. The sounds of the wild animals around us grew louder, as the space around us grew darker.

“Stay close.” Imam says. Paris starts to get antsy. I look at him, looking around, Jack mimicking his panic.

“Just breathe, Jack.” I tell her, her looking at me.

We start walking again pulling the sled with us. My stomach drops when I hear something fall off it.

“Wait.” Jack says, taking the lights off her and starting to grab it.

“Don’t.” I say, going to stop her before it was too late.

In a blink, everything erupts into chaos. The sounds of creatures growing closer, as Johns starts shooting his gun blindly.

I go to get Jack back into the light when Johns spins towards me and fires, a strong rough hand pulling me out of the way before the bullet lands in my face.

I don’t get surprised when I feel myself pressed into a hard chest.

“Shh.” He whispers to me, bringing me to the ground as he squats.

I realize he’s just watching them, to see what’s going to happen. My muscles jerk wanting to get Jack but his hold on me keeps me from moving.

I feel the cool of a blade, him pressing it into his own cheek as he thinks, the back of the makeshift knife touching my neck.

I watch as the whole thing we spent rigging up is ripped from the sled, the glowing blue lights going out.

The only light around me is the green glow stick I tied around my neck with some string and the lights on Riddick’s back.

It didn’t take a genius to realize we were in a bubble of light the others now didn’t have.

I jump as a flash of flames a few feet away goes off, Paris blowing on a lighter, showing at least twenty creatures around him. As soon as the light is gone you hear the whaling of them along with his screams.

With the distraction I watch Carolyn light a flare, the green light brightening the darkness as she lights the few molotovs we have.

I stand up with Riddick, walking over to the group slowly.

“Well it’s good to see you're okay.” Johns says, looking at him.

I rush over to Jack and check on her, her looking up at me with fear. I hug her tightly and kiss her head.

I watch Riddick look out in the distance, where Paris was last seen.

“Do I even wanna know?” Carolyn asks, standing behind him.

“I don’t.” I mumble, holding onto Jack rubbing her arm.

Riddick looks at me then jerks his head to start walking.

I do as he commands us walking after him, us holding bottles of fire.

“Are we getting close?” Jack asks.

“Can we pick up the pace?” Carolyn calls out to Riddick ahead of us.

Johns gets mad as he throws down the strap he was using to pull the sled.

Not wanting to start yelling at him, I speed walk up to Riddick catching up with him.

“They want to go faster.” I say softly to him.

Him grunting in recognition he heard me.

“You wanna tell me what the hell is going on?” Johns asks, walking up to us, standing there.

“We crossed our own tracks.” Carolyn says, making me roll my eyes. Of course we didn't take that long to walk here in the day.

“Why have we circled? Are we lost?” Imam asks.

“Listen.” Riddick says softly.

I do just that, the faint roar of bodies and creatures around us, and even more in our path.

“Canyon ahead. I circled once to buy some time to think.” Riddick says calmly.

“I think we should go now.” Imam

“Oh I don’t know about that.” Riddick says, smirking, cocking his head to the side.

I clench my jaw, catching why he was being sarcastic now. We wouldn’t make it across the Canyon.

“That’s death row up there.” He says speaking my thoughts.

Without thinking I moved closer to him. Needing whatever power that radiated off him to soak into me.

I was brave, or rather stupid enough to get myself into danger but I wasn’t smart enough or rather had the gift of darkvision to get myself out of this mess.

“Especially with the girl bleeding.” He says, making my gut drop.

“Crap.” I say, softly to myself. Johns looking at me, fury lighting up in him.

“Where?” He snaps at me, making my own fury go through me.

“Not her.” Riddick says, calmly getting Johns attention.

“Her.” He says looking at Jack.

Everyone turns to look at Jack, her looking around scared and alone. I quickly move over to her, everyone having a light bulb moment.

I’m stopped by a tight grip.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Johns and Carlyn say in different voices to different people.

Her to Jack comforting her as Jack sinks to the ground.

Johns to me, glaring at me like everything that happened was my fault.

“Did the same thing at her age. It’s not easy being a girl on the streets.” I say glaring up at him.

He yells and jerks away from me storming as far off as he safely could.

“They’ve been nose opened for her since we left.”

“In case you haven’t noticed, they go off blood.”

“Of course they do.” I mumble to myself moving to roll my trying to hold back the part of me that wanted to snap and do anything it took to get out of here alive.

That part of me held down by protecting Jack but she was currently with Carolyn and the presence of Riddick seemed to make the part of me want to unfurl and bloom.

“Look, this is not gonna work.” Carolyn says standing up.

“We’re gonna have to go back.” She says, making me turn to look at her in shock.

“What’d you say?” Johns says.

“You're the one that got us out here in the first place.” He says pointing at her.

I watch them once again turn on each other, I can’t help but wrinkle my brow and cock my head to the side wondering when did people get so weak minded.

It made sense to stick together, keep moving. Do something.

With that thought in mind I turn around, seeing Riddick slowly walking to the ridge of the cannon I go up to stand next to him. Him turning to look at me.

“They're all losing it.”

“Not you?” He asks, softly. His low rumbling voice settled me in a way I needed.

“Not yet.”

He smirks looking down at me. He reaches to pick up my glow stick and look at it.

“Should keep you safe till we get to the ship.”

“We?” I ask, lifting an eyebrow.

He smirks once again and starts to walk.

I wait for a moment to follow, falling between him and the group.

When Johns joined Riddick I knew something was up. I was just outta ear, shot but close enough to catch a few words.

Sacrifice was the word I picked up on, that and when Riddick turned to look at us, his eyes met mine.

Something in them puts my body on alert. Told me to slow down, wait for him. So I did. I slowed my pace a few steps.

When I watched the green flare fly out of John's hands and a shot pop off I knew what was about to happen.

Despite the warning and the yelling of the others behind me, I race forward. I suddenly worried for Riddick so strongly I had to make sure he was alright.

I skid to a stop to watch the two men trying to kill each other. I get there just in time to see Riddick slice Johns’ back open, him falling to the ground groaning.

“You should’ve never taken the chains off Johns.” Riddick yells standing up, just as the flare gose out.

I was thankful for the light around my neck, the sounds of monsters hissing around me, them to dstreacted by the blood to really notice me.

“You were Billy Bad-Ass.” Riddick says from the darkness.

“The chains. The gauge. The badge.” He draws out as Johns stands up him trying to see with the light on the end of his gun.

“I told you to ghost me.” Riddick whispers taunting him.

I swallow the shiver of that act. It's like watching a cat play with a mouse. Johns was done for he just didn’t know it yet.

I jump but don’t scream when I’m spun around by strong arms and pinned to a rock behind me.

The crunching sound of bones behind me is forgotten as I feel the heat and hardness of Riddick being pressed into me.

“Did you enjoy watching?” He asks, his breath fanning my ear.

“Let’s find the others.” I pant out, knowing this wasn’t the time or place despite the want.

He hums but pulls away from me and starts to walk into the darkness. I stick close by keeping up with him, us finding the group quickly them barely moving,

Carolyn screams when she spins to face Riddick standing there.

“Back to the ship huh?” He asks, smiling.

“Just huddle together until the light burns out.”

“Get away from us.” She says backing up, I watch her eyes jump to me then back.

I couldn’t tell if she was scared of me or if she wanted me to come with her.

“Till you can’t see what’s eating you. That the big plan?” He asks them.

“Where's Johns?” Imam asks.

“Which half?” He asks, smirking, the rest of them gasping in shock.

“WHere gonna lose everyone out here.” Jack says.

“Not if we leave. Now before we run out of light.”

“We should have stayed at that ship.” Jack says tuning to look back the direction we came.

“He died fast.” Riddick says, walking past them.

“If we have any choice about it, that's the way we should all go out.” He says stopping to stand next to Jack.

Since I was following him I saw the tears in her eyes.

“Don’t you cry for Johns, don’t you dare.” Riddick says walking past her.

“How are we going to make it?” Jack asks, whimpering up at me.

“We are going to listen to Riddick, we are going to make it to that ship and I’ll find you someplace safe.” I say smiling at her.

She nods hugging me as we start to follow once again.

“Why do you trust him?” Carolyn asks, walking next to me.

“I’m good at reading people. He won’t kill us. We’re not a threat to him.” I say honestly, they look around scared every time something makes a noise.

I keep my eyes ahead focusing on walking.

“He killed Johns.” She says in a way I can’t tell if its a question or a statement, so I shrug hoping that gives her my answer.

“Can you talk to him?”

“About what?” I ask, looking at her.

“I…I don’t know. He’s…”

“Scary?” I offer her a suggestion.

“He doesn't scare you?”

“No.” I say leaving it at that. Quite the opposite I keep thinking about everything but being scared of him. Well maybe I was a little but not in the way everyone else was. My fear stimmed more from if I could survive a night with him.

Riddick was not a beast I was trying to tame. Oh no I knew if we made it off this rock and if something did happen between me and Riddick. I would never be able to turn back.

Miraculous Fandom and Shipping 09/07/2024

This data is accurate as of 9th July 2024. Every relationship tag is assumed to have been applied correctly. Félix/Marinette has a surprising increase in numbers which may be down to a large spike in uploads (Not impossible) though there may also have been continued issues with the surname change being resolved. There has been a notable decrease in the odd tags going down by one or two, flipping some ships back to red in some cases, which are suspected to be due to deletions or archiving.

There was a minor formula issue that is unknown when it occurred so it is being noted here. The Mireille/Alya cell above the grey line in the numbered spreadsheet now correctly looks where it's supposed to for ensuring the numbers match. Very likely this was caused by a software quirk which if you know, you know.

The key for the first part of the spreadsheet is as follows:

Y (Green) - At least 20 entries

P (Yellow) - Less than 20 entries

N (Red) - Zero entries

The colours are primarily designed for quick glance usage.

The key for the second part of the spreadsheet is as follows:

Green has 0 entries and is checked monthly

Blue has 1-10 entries

Light yellow has 11-14 entries

Saturated yellow has 15-20 entries and is checked monthly

Light grey has 21-50 entries

Medium grey has 51-100 entries

Black has more than 100 entries

Black entries have the data input at the time of the spreadsheet update and are hidden purely so they are checked manually and auto pilot brain does not do it more often than required.

Please excuse the screenshot clipping the highlighted cell at the side there.

As of 9th July 2024, these were all the pairings that have more than 1K works under their tags:

Adrien/Marinette - 37203 Alya/Nino - 7545 Luka/Marinette - 4113 Juleka/Rose - 2238 Marc/Nathaniel - 2229 Adrien/Luka - 1246 Adrien/Kagami - 1236 Kagami/Marinette - 1015

Honourable mention to the next closest to the 1k mark:

Ivan/Mylène - 923

After this there is one ship at 810, another at 744 before a big drop off to sub 500.

In addition to the above, fun stats! The way AO3 treats character tags for the Miraculous fandom means alternate versions of characters such as Chat Blanc and Cat Walker point to Adrien. This means it cannot be searched separately unless it's a non-character tag addition. This has occurred with Alternate Alya, however it has not occurred for the other three introduced with Miraculous Paris. As such by using the below format specifically due to AO3 restrictions to ensure they correctly flag:

Alternate Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Shadybug Alternate Adrien Agreste | Claw Noir Alternate Gabriel Agreste | Betterfly

You can find them.

At the time of typing:

Shadybug/Claw Noir - 100 entries Chat Noir/Shadybug - 6 entries Ladybug/Claw Noir - 1 entry Claw Noir/Alternate Nino - 1 entry

While this data is produced as neutrally as possible it should be said the ever increasing homogenisation of the fandom into lovesquare or bust is proving a concern. While shipping tags are presumed to have been used in good faith, many are not resulting in even canon and "canon" pairings not having as many works as it might appear. If you happen to branch out a bit and enjoy a work, do let the author know! Kudos and comments are a scarcity the further away you go and writing for the void gets exhausting after a while. You never know, while one ship might not click with you you might find one you never thought about before that you quite enjoy.

As ever, if you ever want to add to the tip jar to support this data collection, you can do so at my Ko-Fi here!

Double Date at the Horror Show

Summary: There's a new horror movie in theaters, so Julie and Lisa decide to take their dead boyfriends out to the cinema. Read on AO3.

Pairing: Lisa Swallows x The Creature, R x Julie Grigio

Warnings: None. Wholesome!

Word Count: 2.6k words

Tags: double date, friendships, platonic relationships, date night, zombies, short & sweet, fluff.

Author's Note: I love sweet submissive zombie boys and the badass girls they love, so here they are together.

“Weird,” Julie said as she stared down at her phone. “Lisa said they’d be here five minutes ago.”

She kept eyeing the glowing marquee sign above her and R. It was a Friday night and there was only one title blazing across it between the rows of blinking light bulbs: BLEED ON ME. By the ticket booth was the accompanying poster: A rotted, fleshy hand gripping a human heart and blood trickling between its fingers.

The movie was starting in ten minutes. If they were going to get popcorn and drink first, then the second half of their party had to get here quickly.

An autumn breeze chilled across Julie’s skin and she pulled her coat closer. R noticed her shiver, and lumbered closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and set his chin on top of her head. Julie grinned.

“You’re sweet,” she said. “But I’m not sure how much body heat you’ve got to warm up.”

R made a disappointed groan but didn’t let her go. Julie rubbed at R’s arm.

“Don’t feel bad,” she said. “It’s not your fault. Plus, Swallows’s man can’t warm her up much either.”

That’s because Lisa was dating a dead guy too. When Julie caught wind that there was another girl her age in town who was dating a zombie, she knew she had to get to know her. Must have been something about this town that brought girls and corpses together. It was like the Paris of inter-living love.

Despite their differences, Julie and Lisa got along surprisingly well. While they had different senses of style (Julie preferred a more athletic, preppy look while Lisa preferred her black lace and skull earrings), the two connected pretty quickly. Of course, it helped that the two of them had similar taste in men.

“So your boyfriend has never eaten people?” Julie had said to Lisa while the two were walking through Bachelors' Cemetery.

“Nope,” Lisa said. “Then again, he wasn’t alive as long as yours. I guess electricity-induced zombies don’t need brains. Just a little trip to the tanning salon.”

The two of them immediately decided to arrange a double date with their undead boy toys. Luckily, there was a brand new zombie horror movie out in theaters. Julie and R had made it a tradition to watch every zombie movie they could find together so they could nitpick the least accurate parts (R called the fast movements of the zombies in World War Z “unrealistic expectations”). So, Julie invited Lisa and Creature along.

“Weird how she just calls him Creature,” Julie said. “I know his tombstone was a bit busted, but you think after how long they’ve been together that they’d decide on a name for him.”

R released a long, mangled groan. Julie chuckled.

“Then again, your name is just an initial, so I guess the dead make due.”

Just then, a cherry red car pulled into the parking lot and grabbed the last spot close to the front. Lisa, decked in her black frills and pink lipstick, stepped out the driver’s seat and rounded the other side to let Creature out. The boy was pale with decrepit flesh and messy dark hair, not dissimilar to R’s. But while R stuck to his signature red hoodie and jeans, Creature was decked in a black waistcoat and dress pants.

Well, she did say he was from the 1800s, Julie thought.

Lisa saw them standing by the front and waved to them with a big smile. Julie waved back while Lisa grabbed Creature’s hand and pulled him across the parking lot.

“Hey, Julie!” Lisa cried.

“Lisa, just in time!”

The two girls embraced each other and then Lisa turned to her boyfriend.

“This is Creature,” she said. “He’s the guy I found at Bachelors' Cemetery. At the grave I showed you.”

Creature gave a shaky but dapper bow and offered his hand. Julie put her hand in his and he kissed with shivery cold lips. He let out a long growl that Julie deciphered as zombie-speak for “nice to meet you.”

Julie gestured to her boyfriend.

“This is R,” she said. “The guy I met at the airport.”

“R,” Lisa said, shaking his hand. “R as in Robert? Ricky?”

R managed a shy smile and shrugged.

“He can’t remember the rest of his name,” Julie clarified. “So he’s just R.”

“Well, at least you have a letter,” Lisa said. “I was scrubbing Creature’s grave for weeks before we met and I couldn’t get any name.”

“Well, what did Shakespeare say? ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?’”

Suddenly, Creature started coughing. He turned to the side and hacked out a black glob of gunk onto the concrete sidewalk. The stench caught the air and the girls pinched their noses.

“Maybe smell as sweet is the wrong phrasing,” Lisa said. “I doubt Shakespeare knew any zombies when he wrote R and J.”

R, unfazed, looked down at the hot goo-ball on the ground. He turned to Creature with an impressed smile, and the two of them high-fived while making congratulatory dead noises. Both seemed pleased with themselves.

“Ugh, boys are boys even when they’re dead,” Julie said.

Lisa used her free hand to dust off her skirt.

“So, is the movie starting soon?”

Oh yeah, the movie. Julie looked at the time on her phone and her heart leapt. The movie was starting in five minutes and they didn’t even have refreshments yet. Although after smelling Creature’s deposit, she was close to losing her appetite.

“If we move fast, we can make it during the trailers,” she said. “I’ve got all our tickets, but we need popcorn and soda.”

“Then let’s hurry!” Lisa said.

She grabbed Julie’s wrist and the two girls hurried towards the front entrance. But just as Lisa grabbed the door handle, both girls noticed that R and Creature were lagging behind them. The boys were slowly staggering in their direction.

“Boys, come on!” Lisa snapped. “What part of ‘hurry’ do you not understand?”

Both boys groaned in unison as they half-ran to meet them. The two couples hurried through the door into the lobby. The place smelled fresh of butter, the walls lined with posters for upcoming releases and a red carpet beneath their feet. There was even a cardboard cut-out of one of the zombies for Bleed On Me, which both R and Creature were eyeing.

“Lisa and I will get refreshments, you boys head to theater thirteen,” Julie instructed.

Since the boys moved slower, they’d need a head start. Plus, not every cashier responded well to a half-decayed face trying to moan out “extra butter please.” Julie and R learned that the hard way on their first theater date when the girl at the register fainted.

Julie handed the boys their tickets and they started hobbling down the hall towards the door labeled “13.” The good part about being late was that the line at the concessions had come and gone, so Lisa and Julie could jump straight to the register.

“Two large popcorn buckets, two diet Cokes, one Pepsi, and one Sprite,” Julie said.

Lisa slapped a candy packet on the counter.

“And one pack of Twizzlers, please,” she said.

The cashier rang them up and the girls filled their arms with the snacks. They found the boys standing by the doors, which they held open so the girls could carry everything inside. Down the dark hall and into the theater where the trailer for a superhero movie was already playing. The girls were worried about getting the boys up the steps, but thankfully, there were four empty seats waiting in the front row.

“Perfect,” Julie said.

Julie and Lisa sat in the middle with each of their boys at their sides. Just as popcorn and drink were distributed, the whole screen turned red and black blood trickled down with the film’s title in gothic font. The opening scene began in a barn house in the middle of nowhere at night.

“No empty city with rusty buildings?” Julie whispered. “That’s original.”

“I always wondered if country folk would notice the end of the world last,” Lisa whispered back. “I mean, you live so remote, you don’t notice hell breaking loose around you.”

Someone in the row behind them shushed them. The scene continued, as the heroine slowly approached the barn doors, strange sounds emanating from inside.

“It’s giving me Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes,” Julie whispered.

“Maybe they’re vegetarian zombies,” Lisa whispered back. “They only eat animals. Like the vampires in Twilight.”

Creature groaned something, and the row behind them squashed them again. Louder this time, and the usher was looking at them. Lisa covered her mouth and Creature’s, and every turned back to the movie.

They managed to be quiet for the rest of the movies. Julie and R silently cataloged all the zombie tropes to analyze afterwards. Meanwhile, Lisa pulled a Twizzler out of the bag and held it between her and Creature’s mouth. The two nibbled down until their lips touched in a kiss, like they were watching Lady and the Tramp and not an R-rated gorefest.

The film’s plot crescendoed to its climax, as the final girl survivor was confronted with the shambling corpse of her former love interest. She lifted a spiked baseball bat, and with a scream she swung it at the dead guy’s head. The audience in the theater yelped, and with a wet splattering sound, the zombie’s head plopped right off with a geyser of blood.

Everyone in the theater was trembling in terror, but Julie and Lisa just gave each other a look, before looking at their boyfriends. R and Creature were looking at their girlfriends suspiciously, knowing very well that could be them if they hadn’t met more merciful girls.

Finally, the credits began climbing up the screen and the lights came up. Their popcorn buckets were empty except for a few kernels and their soda cups were empty. Lisa plucked the last strand of Twizzler and broke it in four pieces for everyone.

“That was crazy,” she said as the four of them sauntered out of the theater. “They don’t make campy stuff like that as much anymore.”

“I know, right?” Julie said.

“And with practical effects instead of CGI? I could get used to this.”

R and Creature moaned in agreement with the girls. Julie threaded her hand with R’s.

“Be nice to us,” she told the boys. “Or it’ll be your heads getting the bat next.”

After the movie was over, despite copious amounts of popcorn, soda and Twizzlers, the gang were still hungry and didn’t want to go home. Thankfully, Julie knew a diner close to the movie theater that was open late at night.

“Late Night Cravings is great,” Julie told them as the four loaded into Lisa’s car. “R and I went there just last week. They have the best milkshakes.”

Just five minutes down the road, the car pulled up to a retro diner with “Late Night Cravings” blazing across the top in red, swirling neon. The four of them loaded out of the car and made their way inside, where a waitress brought them to a large booth table with red vinyl seats. They ordered a round of cheeseburgers and fries, and the waitress brought them a steaming tray of them.

“So,” Julie said, dipping a french fry in a cup of ketchup. “Zombie movie rating, what are we giving Bleed On Me ?”

“I give it a B+,” Lisa said. “I like the camp and practical effects, but the cinematography was so washed out. All yellow and brown and beige. Even the blood was more brown than red. I want some color back in my movies.”

“That’s ironic,” Julie quipped. “Considering how many black-and-white movies you watch.”

Lisa grinned and rolled her eyes.

“What about you?” she asked.

“A-,” Julie said. “Solid, but the whole ‘girl kills her boyfriend after he dies’ is a bit of a misrepresentation, don’t you think?”

She grabbed R’s hand on the table and Creature leaned his head against Lisa’s shoulder. She giggled and petted his hair.

“I’ll second that,” she said. She looked at R, then back at Creature. “And what about the experts? Good zombie rep or nah?”

The boy were quiet for a moment, pondering their responses. Then, R leaned forward, and for the first time, he spoke.

“Too…much…blood…” he said. He motioned a blade cutting his neck, referencing the final kill. “Dead…don’t…bleed…”

Lisa eyes widened and Julie giggled.

“He can talk?!” she cried.

“Yeah,” Julie said. “Didn’t I tell you?”

She squeezed R’s hand right.

“Dead Don’t Bleed would make a great movie title,” she said. “Maybe that can be the sequel.”

Lisa excitedly turned to Creature.

“Maybe we can get you to talk,” Lisa said. “Try some speech therapy practices, maybe we can retrain your vocal chords to work!”

Creature smile and opened his mouth to speak, but all he could make out was a long, mangled gargle.

“Takes…practice…” R said.

Creature reached across the table and scooped up R’s burger by its bottom bun. Then, his face twisted like a cat about to spit out a hairball. With a loud gag, he spat two worms onto the meat patty before returning it to R’s plate. R stared at it for a moment, then placed the top bun back on top and took a big bite. He chewed, nodded his head and gave Creature a grin and a thumb’s up.

“Thank goodness we’re the only ones here,” Julie said. She glanced toward the waitstaff. “Health inspector might chew us out.”

“He puts worms in all his food,” Lisa said. “I guess zombies who don’t eat brains eat bugs.”

After burgers, the waitress bought them milkshakes in tall glasses with red-striped straws. Creature reached into the back of his throat, pulled out two worms, and dropped one in his and R’s glasses.

“I’ll remember to go digging in the backyard next time R and I have dinner at my place,” Julie said.

“Look for wet patches of mud, they love it there,” Lisa said.

The four of them slurped their milkshakes down the bottom. Once their glasses were empty, R and Creature fished out their worms, clinked them together like glasses, then dropped them into their mouths. The waitress eyed them suspiciously but said nothing.

“When we all turn twenty-one, we should all order bottles of Mezcal,” Julie said.

“Oh, they’d love that,” Lisa said. “With the little worm at the bottom?”

The waitress brought them their checks. It was nearing midnight, and while dead boys like R and Creature didn’t need sleep, Lisa and Julie were getting sluggish.

“This was so fun,” Lisa said. “Next time there’s a zombie movie, we have to do this again.”

“Maybe we’ll rent and watch at my house,” Julie said. “So no one tries to shush us.”

R made some agreeable noises and Creature rubbed his chin atop Lisa’s head.

“That sounds great,” Lisa said. “And maybe afterwards we can all go to the cemetery. Maybe have a picnic!”

“Only if the boys don’t pack the basket,” Julie says. “I prefer my worms with tequila, thank you.”

The two couples made their way to their respective cars. Lisa poked her head out the passenger side window and waved to them as the engine revved up.

“Bye, Julie! Bye, R!” she called. “Nice to meet you!”

With that, the car’s tires screeched as it took off down the road, hobbling from one side to the next. Julie watched them go, then looked back at R.

“Was Creature…driving the car?” she asked.

R shrugged.

“Does he have a license?”

R shrugged again. Julie chuckled and settled down into the driver’s seat.

“Well, good thing she has that tanning bed,” she said. “She might need it in case they don’t get home alive.”

RQG Art Masterpost

Hey guys! So recently I've had a wave of notes on some of my old rqg art, and a few new followers. I got really nostalgic about rqg and decided I wanted an easier way to access my rqg-related art (other than the dumpster fire that is tumblr's tagging system), and I wanted other people who are just finding my art to have an easy way of looking at the rest, if they want to. So I dug through everything and made a masterpost! This post contains links to all the rqg art I've ever posted on tumblr, as well as a couple images that I couldn't find the original posts for, despite all the digging. It's loosely organized, emphasis on loosely, but I hope it should be fun to look through if anyone ever feels like it. Spoiler warning for the whole show, just in case anyone new isn’t done with their first listen. There's also stuff in here that's pretty old and that I don't necessarily love anymore, but seeing how my skills progressed over time is still pretty neat. This is a long post, so I've put all the links under the cut. Enjoy!

My top three pieces and why they're my favorites

General:

Shoin's sketch of London

RQG Inktober: Scars

Resurrection Ritual in the Ursan Village

Sasha portrait

Goodbye, Brock

Goodbye, Grizzop

If Grizzop had lived and helped raised Sasha's kids

Sasha deserves bat wings, as a treat

"I so wish you could meet them"

My very first drawing of Sasha, post-Kafka fight

Wilde:

Wilde masterpost (yes he has his own)

"We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

His brain might've popped

Wilde looking pretty (plus bonus shitpost sketch)

"Oh Wilde, you must have been so scared"

Wilde with blue veins

Wilde gets his magic back (first time I ever drew him)

Zoscar:

Wild and Zolf in the rain, epilogue

"We've got this" "Yeah, we've got this" aka Parallels

Breath of Life

Wilde's first death

Peace and comfort (for once)

Actually some more peace and comfort

And a little more

Aaand back to some angst

RQG Zine Art:

The End of the World As We Know It

How Little He Matters

Rome Is Where the Heart Is

Animatics/Animations/Videos:

Hamimatic - Immature

Zolf is the sand guardian, guardian of the sand

Jazmine Sullivan's concert review - July 11th, 2024

On Friday (July 11th), American R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan was in Paris for her European tour.

After French R&B singer Affa opened for her, Jazmine Sullivan arrived on stage minutes after Affa left.

She opened up the show with Bodies (Intro) (from Heaux Tales) and Bust Your Windows (from Fearless). She then thanked us and kept it going with Put It Down (from Heaux Tales), Mascara (from Reality Show) and Price Tags (from Heaux Tales).

She continued with Girl Like Me, Hurt Me So Good and Roster (all from Heaux Tales). The next one was Holding You Down (Goin' In Circles) (from Love Me Back) and she covered The Fugees' Killing Me Softly, which we loved.

Then, she told us that she lost her mom last year to cancer and that the next song she was going to sing meant a lot to her. On these words, she sang Lost One (from Heaux Tales) and after that, she took us back to the first album with In Love With Another Man (from Fearless).

After that, her background singers covered Muni Long's Made for Me, Monica's So Gone and SWV's Weak. It was amazing, we all sang together and loved it.

She continued with Tragic (from Heaux Tales), Brand New (from Reality Show) and Insecure. She kept it going with On It (from Heaux Tales), Let It Burn (from Reality Show) and Need U Bad (from Fearless).

She ended the show with Pick Up Your Feelings (from Heaux Tales), thanked us again and left.

Jazmine Sullivan is another favorite singer of mine and her voice is incredible. I found her show way too short but it was awesome.

Thanks for reading!

As soon as we reach the ship I can’t help but notice the shadow moving on the ground. Looking up I see large spirals coming over the horizon. Iman’s boys take off running into the ship for Carolyn.

“Crap.” I say looking at it knowing the eclipse was starting.

It doesn't take long for everyone to decide that we have to get off the planet as soon as possible. Sharon getting the doom buggie up and running it definitely going to help us get the rest of the power cells back to the ship. They were heavy and would take hours to carry from the crash site. Hours we didn't have. The buggie was solar powered.

I hadn't seen Riddick or Johns since my "chat" with Johns. Something I was happy and nervous about.

Happy because the more I was away from Johns the better and nervous because I didn't know how Riddick would react.

I knew I was nothing to him, just something to pass the time with or entertain himself for the time being but something told me he wouldn't be pleased with my new found bruises.

Just a gut feeling that he would be upset.

We all climbed into the sand cat quickly, a twisted thought that we all wouldn’t fit if the people who had died were still alive.

“Where’s Riddick?” Jack yells, making me look at her.

She was right, him and Johns was still MIA.

“Leave him.” Paris says, shocking me. Making me wonder if he would say that about any of the rest of us.

“He wouldn’t wait for us.” He says just as Riddick jumps from the roof of a nearby building. Him landing right behind Paris.

“I thought we lost you.” Paris says nervous, making me roll my eyes.

I can’t stop the small smile as he quickly sits down. It’s wiped from my face when Riddick tilts his head towards me.

I knew what he saw. We all did, it was kinda hard to miss. He moves closer to me, standing next to where I am sitting.

“Johns!” Sharon yells, and starts to drive forward slowly.

I kinda hoped she would leave him, but he quickly comes out of the building. Him starting to climb on the buggie. Riddick surprised me by helping him up.

Him holding him on the edge for a second. I realize in that moment that he knows. Riddick knows what happened to me. Or rather who did this to me.

It wasn’t even an hour ago when he threatened to kill Johns for busting my lip. Now I had his literal finger prints on my jaw. I didn’t know what would happen but I knew this wasn’t going to end well.

Riddick only held him there for a moment, staring at him but it felt much longer. My stomach twisting in knots watching the interaction between them.

Riddick helps him on the sand cat then turns around.

He settles himself next to me. Glancing up at him he looked angry. Everything on him was tense. As if he was daring anyone to look at him wrong.

We rode quickly towards the crash site. The impending eclipse is right behind us.

Jack looks over at Riddick, pulling her found broken goggles over her eyes.

I didn't even get a chance to smile at how cute she was being. Riddick pointed behind her to the very large bone hanging ready to knock off anyone who was standing up.

Jack quickly ducks down out of the way. I don't bother moving, already sitting down so I wasn't expecting when Riddick's large hand was placed on my back pushing me down as he squatted out of the way.

I realized I wasn't out of the way like I thought the bone was only a few inches from the top of my head.

We all sit back up only under the ribcage of the animal for a minute.

I checked on Jack with my eyes, she was fine. My next thought is Riddick.

When did I start caring about him I'll never know.

He glances down at me then looks straight ahead once again.

We reach the crash ship quickly, all of us climbing off, except Sharon, and the kids.

I rush into the crash ship seeing where I can help.

I stop seeing Riddick and John's packing power cells. Riddick packing two at a time. Despite them weighing almost eighty pounds.

I was definitely impressed. Hearing Jack call for me I quickly rush back out just to watch a plant rise from the sky. I block out the sun as everything around us goes black.

Darkness settles around us along with the silence. At first that’s all there is silence, dead silence.

Then I hear it. A chirping that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Looking in the distance I watch a black cloud rise, the noise growing louder.

The creatures twisting around each other. It almost reminds me of a dance.

“Beautiful.” Riddick says, his voice closer to me then what I expected.

I look over my shoulder seeing the winging beast take to the sky. The sound of them settling around us, it makes me feel on edge.

“Get back to the ship.” Carolyn says, then yells, her along with the others rushing towards the ship as the monsters start rushing towards us. It felt like they would swoop down and snatch me up any moment.

Adrenaline shoots through me, rushing up my neck, waking my mind up. Telling my body to move. Now. My legs move on their own. The survival instinct makes my limbs pump faster.

I turn ready to sprint to the door, seeing Jack ahead of me I know she is fine. Not looking back, I focused on running. Getting to the ship. Living.

When I feel something hard slam into my back I fall forward, smacking into the ground. The air in my lungs gets knocked out of me.

A heavy weight is laying on me. The hot breath of another person fanning over my ear. Fingers wrapped around the back of my neck.

“Don’t move.” His deep voice says, the sound resonating deep in my stomach.

I feel the rush of air as the swarm of creatures fly over us. Missing us by inches and flying back into the sky.

It’s quiet for just a moment. Just long enough to make you want to stand up. I couldn’t if I wanted to. Riddick’s large frame keeps me in place. I had no intention of moving. The itch in the back of my mind telling me it wasn’t safe yet.

I hear Jack yell at Shazza to stay down. Riddick flips off me to land on his back next to me as another woosh of wings fly over us.

Laying flat on my stomach, my face looking to the left. I watch him lay perfectly still. Like death wasn’t inches from us.

I take a deep breath through my nose, the smell of Riddick mixed with earth fills my nose. Claiming me.

The sound of Shazza’s screams reach us. The creatures fighting over her torn in half body flying off.

Riddck stands up, reminding me of a cat the way he moves. Him looking to both his left and his right before dusting his hands off and offering me one.

The gesture snaps me out of my daze. Pushing myself up to my knees I take his broad hand and let him pull me up with ease.

He drops my hand as soon as I'm standing and starts walking towards the crashed ship like he knew I would follow him.

I do follow him, kinda shocked he just saved my life. I thought he was the monster on the ship.

“Please, I really think we should go inside.” Paris says pulling Jack with him.

He must have held her from going to Shazza. I feel a bitter coil of jealousy in my stomach realizing she didn’t scream for me once.

“Come on, let's go.” He says, just as me and Riddick reach the ship. Carolyn looked in shock and like she was going to puke.

The hairs on my neck bristle up hearing another round of screeching. The three of us turned to look in the distance.

I take a breath hearing more rocks crumble, telling me more creatures are coming.

“What is it RIddick?” Carolyn asks, as Riddick takes his goggles off.

“What is it now?”

“Like I said it ain’t me you gotta worry about.” He says, as another flock of monsters rush towards us.
