ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AUU!!!!!

I’ve been chatting about this with people on discord and I’ve had so much fun doodling these lol

Doodles aren’t that gory, but the relationship are def a little fucked up sometimes, but you never know what people are sensitive to so everything is under the cut!

Okay so basic explanation

Nobody (except siblings and Paul and Darry) knows each other. They’re all total strangers, I feel like I should get that out of the way

The apocalypse starts in 1964 (that way the characters are their canon ages when the plot really happens)

The Curtis family is a normal family doing fine until the zombie apocalypse breaks out. Mr and Mrs Curtis are some of the first casualties (Darry had to put them down after they got bitten and turned)

The brothers decide to leave Tulsa and go somewhere less populated, but while they do that, they run into Paul. Only Darry likes Paul, but they’re all relieved to see someone they know (who isn’t eating people) so they let him come with them

The only problem is that after a few months, Paul decides that with the government gone and everything, he can do whatever he wants. So he kidnaps Darry and runs away, leaving pony and soda alone.

Stressful situation, I know. They’re looking for Darry, but get separated at some point. Now they have to focus on not just finding Darry, but each other as well.

At this point it’s been about a year since the apocalypse started

Pony runs into Dallas and Johnny, who met each other like a month before. He gets taken in by them (they’re all wearing bucks old clothes, because dally was living with Buck when this all started. Buck died) and they’re fighting zombies and trying to survive together

Soda meets Steve and twobit, who are eager to have more people join their ranks. Twobit’s mother and sister died, and Steve’s dad abandoned him at the start of the apocalypse. So they’re all alone with each other.

Darry is where it gets interesting. He’s living with Paul and can’t really escape becuase he doesn’t actually know where he would even go. He doesn’t know where pony and soda are so he’s just hoping to come across them. But he knows it’s important to avoid being alone so he stays with Paul, even if Paul is kind of losing it.

Paul is getting annoyed because Darry is being lame (because he misses his brothers obviously)

Which is when they meet curly. Curly, Tim, and Angela were all together at the start of the apocalypse, but Tim and Angela got turned a few weeks in. Curly managed to wrap their hands and mouths so they couldn’t attack him and now he gets to keep his older siblings with him! Yay! (This also keeps other zombies from eating him, because he smells like death) curly is a little bit crazy, he’s been talking only to Tim and Angela for a year. He knows they don’t understand or care, but he’s convinced himself that they do

It doesn’t matter in the end because he meets Darry and Paul. They are freaked out by him and his zombies, but Darry makes Paul let curly stay with them (because Darry sees pony and soda on curly, and he can’t bear to let some kid be alone in all of this, even if he is a freak with two zombies)

Eventually Paul comes around. On his own terms. Which means that he kills tim and Angela and kidnaps curly to create a family with Darry (to try and keep Darry from missing long and soda) curly is traumatized and angry (and a million other things ofc) and Darry is pissed, but Paul is very pleased with himself.

Anyway, there’s more but it isn’t super developed. If you want to know more (or drop suggestions or doodle ideas) send asks ❤️❤️

[toxicaltomb]

nahhh bro who invited zombieboy curtis to the function💀💀💀

au shit below

after darry hits ponyboy, pony runs off to find johnny in the lot but it seems like johnny went home/left. pony goes to the park and gets attacked by the socs, but this time he gets drowned to death. now he’s a zombie!!! how’d that happen? idk. it just did! the gang doesn’t notice anything wrong (except johnny) even tho he’s bright green and rotting. might write a fic abt it idk :3

also yes i have a new artstyle. SHUDDUP

[dallasgallant]

One of those “charecters come back from/rise from the dead” au’s but it’s Johnny and Dally stumbling their way to the Curtis home because it’s instinctual within the gang by now. It’s where you go when something happens. Both intrinsically aware of what’s going on, as one has to be, and incredibly confused.

Only, it’s Darry who answers the door. Who offers food and when that doesn’t work a shower and tries to ignore the scars and dirt. Darry keeps them a secret. On some level it’s selfish, on another he can’t do that to his brothers or to the rest of the gang. He keeps the dead boys in his parents room, no one goes in there anymore, and tries to figure out what to do- stopping by when he can- loosing more sleep.

It doesn’t last forever, as these often don’t… the dead can’t stay for long no matter how alive they look and feel. It’s a lesson really— he has to process and grief and all these other things and on some level he’s a little bitter it’s his friends and not his parents but who wouldn’t be —

Meanwhile Johnny and Dally brought back from the literal dead and having to deal with knowing it’s not for long. It’s for a reason. There’s no catching up or second chances as it might’ve felt at first— the world moves on and you can’t slide back into a life that no longer exists. Serving a higher purpose you don’t remember being made a part of and fighting for a chance? A goodbye? Something.

Knowing, trusting— needing Darry as he needs you in a way you start to grasp right as you need to go stumble back and

HEAR ME OUT

ZOMBIE GREASERS

VAMPIRE SOCS

GUYS HEAR ME OUT GUYS PLEASE PLEA-

[vinyl-lol]

I have gotten... very addicted to drawing this stupid ass fish

[izaacs-notdeadyet]

The outsiders zombie apocalypse au say whay?

Chat.. let me say I have been COOKING.

Storyline is loosely based on the last of us, in the sense that Johnny takes the role of Ellie, and Darry of Joel. This is inspired by a post I saw talking about a tlou outsiders au but I couldn't find who made the post to tag them in this ☹️☹️

More info and designs under the cut (tw for guns, violence, and death)

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Johnny Cade:

Lore: [Johnny was born seven months after the start of the apocalypse. His mother had been pregnant with him and managed to survive up until his birth, when she ended up getting bit by a zombie when she went into labor. She managed to escape back into her and Mr Cade's cabin, where he would find his wife who had turned, and his newly born son.

Johnny's father did NOT like his son. He only took care of him cause he felt some kind of obligation to his late wife and it's really a miracle Johnny didn't die under his watch or because of him. One day, Mr Cade sent Johnny out scavenging for supplies on his own (horrible idea.) Johnny ended up being chased and leading them back. Him and his dad ended up escaping, just barely.

Johnny had been bit in their escape. His dad had seen it first. His dad wanted to shoot him before he turned, but Johnny, terrified with a gun to his head, lashed out and knifed his dad to death. He sat there for awhile, waiting to turn. But Johnny never did end up turning. He grabbed his dad's gun and his stuff, and set off for the road, leaving his dad's corpse cold behind him.

He survived for around a year mostly on his own, occasionally falling in with some travelers but mostly he was on his own. Somewhere in that year timeframe he got jumped by Paul and his gang, getting his scar and losing his gun in the process.]

Extra commentary: i honestly had so much fun with drawing Johnny. As for his character, I think his growth was stunted due to stress and malnutrition. Similar to in the book he also looks younger. It would still bug him, but he's gotten good at playing up his youthfulness to gain the trust of unsuspecting people, and then mugging them.

I think he'd be pretty efficient with his bow, especially since his gun was stolen and he hasn't been able to find another one yet. In a way he likes that the bow gives him more control, but he also misses the confidence that having a gun gave him.

He carries around a mini sewing kit, he's gotten pretty good at fixing holes in his clothes and bag and even repaired the hole in his jeans. He needs to find more scrap fabric though to repair his other pants leg.

He's pretty shy. Just in general but also because he doesn't really trust people. He's paranoid about someone finding out about his immunity and then using it against him. If he can't wear his jacket, (which is rare, but sometimes) he'll wrap gauze or extra fabric around the bite tightly to keep it hidden.

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Darrel Curtis:

Lore: [Darry doesn't remember much from before the apocalypse, he would've only been four. He does remember a panic and them having to leave town, his mom Carrying his baby brother Soda in her hands. The Curtis parents were very good about keeping their children safe. They ended up going to a sanctuary city. It was rough, but it was more like Jackson than Boston, it was a safe place to raise their kids.

That was, until it wasn't. One day, two years before canon, a horde broke in, and the city was overrun with zombies. Darry managed to find his brothers, along with Steve and Two-bit in the chaos. They stopped by their house, Darry packing a bag and taking his father's shotgun, he was trying to find his parents and also keep his brothers and friends safe at the same time. When he found his parents, it was too late. They were turning, and Darry had to shoot them to save Soda.

Steve ended up hotwiring a car for them, and they fled the city. Darry has been doing his best to take care of them sense, even though the group gets on his last nerves, especially with their insistence to keep adding people to their group and stop by long abandoned tourist traps when they're meant to be looking for the nearest sanctuary city.]

Extra commentary: I LOVED drawing Darry. If I had fun drawing Johnny than I can't begin to explain what drawing Darry did to me. It was my first time drawing him and he just came so easy to me.

For his design I don't have much to say, I think he'd have a habit of biting the tip of his knife (something @deim0sdread came up with that) and it ended up giving him a scar on his lip from the blade.

For his bag though I have a lot more to say, I think he'd be the one that's most prepared, he tries to keep his first aid kit packed with the essentials. I think if he found the group all walkie talkies he'd be set. He's kinda like a mom in the way he runs around making sure everyone's set, that ponyboy didn't leave anything behind and that he's actually paying attention, or that Twobit isn't trying to drink fucking rubbing alcohol. He kinda resents having to do so much for everyone but he loves them and couldn't do any different

🪦ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Supernaturals AU

Basically the gang as mythical/fictional creatures. Might not make sense but it's ok!!! Just descriptions in this one; I might write lore about them

🖨 ·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ @johnnycademylove

Ponyboy

Part zombie, part human

Was originally human, but when he died the other Curtis brothers sewed him together with rotten parts.

Practically nonverbal; staples are also on parts of his mouth, making it harder to speak (not that he minds).

↑If he wants to talk really badly, he'll use notebooks from when he was in middle school.

Kind of doesn't take care of his hair anymore. I.E. he doesn't grease his hair, roots are showing, in desperate need of a haircut

Sodapop

Angel

He basically just. spawned in... More specifically he fell from heaven when he was found guilty for treason

For the first few months he was with the gang, he consistently spoke Enochian (angel language) so Steve and Pony helped him learn proper English

Very prim and proper. Only ponyboy has ever seen him messy (happened once, but soda didn't really care because of the stitches)

He and Steve share EVERYTHING especially food. Sees Steve as a brother (because soda doesn't really care about romantic love in this AU)

Darry

Minotaur

Ponyboy is his blood brother; soda was adopted due to pony's begging

When ponyboy died, Darry was devastated. Eventually he found enough strength to try and bring pony back to life (with the help of soda and dally)

His horns are sensitive to light touch such as petting. Also has a tail but is rarely shown

Loves sewing! Additionally he doesn't have to work multiple jobs bc the landlord is scared of them (who wouldn't there's legit a half zombie, angel, and minotaur in the same house)

Steve

Gorgon

Has a birth defect where he doesn't have snake hair. To make up he owns 7 pet snakes (possibly 7 deadly sins?)

Has 3 sisters (medusa, stheno, euryale). When people ask him about his family he gets embarrassed when they side eye him (they think Steve is lying)

Has snake scales on parts of his face. Also wears bandage on his eyes in public (learned that the hard way, the stone statues are still there 😭)

Steve takes care of his nails, often just reshaping or giving them a trim. Also pretty clean

Two-bit

Griffin

Crashed through the window of the Curtis brother's house trying to catch a thief. Ended up staying way longer than he should have

Loves to fly around with Sodapop just to keep him company (canon that soda can't stay still for long)

He visits his mom and little sister often and brings trinkets and snacks. Darry comes along every once in a while

WILL SMACK THE GANG WITH HIS TAIL; it doesn't matter if it's on purpose or not, It still annoys the living shit out of them

Johnny

Mirror ghost

His back and arms have scars all over

Ponyboy pissed his pants the first time he saw johnny (he originally just lurked in the house, flickering the lights and casting shadows in mirrors)

Has a strong bond with dally and pony. If johnny isnt outside a mirror, they'll huddle inside the bathroom and talk to johnny there.

If johnny gets scared, nervous or bored he'll sometimes go inside his handheld mirror which serves as his own little room

Dresses like some sickly Victorian child

Dally

Vampire

Tried to bite soda in the middle of the night but darry caught him

Has a bat form! If two-bit and soda are out flying around in the middle of the night, he'll trail behind them to find food

Johnny lives with him; dally originally lived pretty far from the town, but when he found out Johnny got anxious because it was harder to talk to pony he moved closer to the Curtis brothers

Despises going outside. If he HAS to go out he uses a black umbrella with covers all around.

Yes, his tongue is exposed in the top right drawing.

Trick or treat 👁️ 👁️

Treat! Enjoy your Outsiders halloween minific!

**********

“Trick or treat!”

Soda opens the door to yet another gaggle of children, grin already fixed firmly on his face. Halloween was, without a doubt, his favourite holiday of the year. Hell, maybe his favourite day of the year, period. It had everything. Costumes, candy, scary movies, whatever questionable alcoholic monstrosity Two-bit was gonna make- what wasn’t to love?

Soda knows Pony and Darry find it odd he’s always volunteered to stay home and hand out candy ever since he got too old for trick or treating himself, but it was ages more fun than going to some stupid party and getting stuck playing spin the bottle, or bumming around with Two-bit and  trying to scare little kids. Back when mom was alive she and him used to make an event from it, dressing up and stealing from their own candy stash when they waited for trick or treaters. There was always a spark of feral mischief halloween put in little kids and adults alike that wasn’t present any other time of the year, the same mischief Soda found himself unable to ever turn off. Halloween was the only day of the year where he ever felt truly understood.

A little girl dressed as a dinosaur roars at him as he drops a stick of bubble gum into her pillowcase. He jolts back, feigning shock, and the girl squeals with giggles, running back to where her dad is waiting on the sidewalk.

The next kid has an eyepatch and a strip of fabric tied around his head, and was holding the hand of a little boy barely more than a toddler. 

“I’m a pirate,” the kid informs him, as if it wasn’t obvious, “and he’s the dead body of a soc I threw off the ship.”

The toddler was, in fact, painted to resemble a corpse, round cheeks covered in white powder and eyes surrounded by greyish circles. 

“Neat,” Soda decided, giving them each two pieces of candy. He had to reward ingenuity. Back when he and Steve used to go trick or treating together, no one ever knew what they were and they liked it that way. He could see himself in this kid and his designated corpse human accessory. 

“Trick or treat!”

Soda grins into soulful brown eyes and his breath catches.

It’s Johnny.

Everyone says ghosts come back to haunt you on Halloween, but the ghosts Soda had seen so far had been kids playing dress up, not what looked like his now long dead friend reincarnated.

The kid had smooth brown skin, huge soulful eyes and the greasiest head of hair Soda had ever seen. A memory of Pony and Johnny when Pony was in first grade and Johnny in third floats to his mind unbidden, both of them dressed in zombie costumes they’d refused to let mom and dad help with, eyes bright like this kid’s are now. He’d wonder why- this kid isn’t dressed like a zombie after all- if the kid’s excitement wasn’t as palpable as Johnny’s had been then. 

Suddenly it’s a little hard to breathe.

“I’m Elvis,” the kid informs him, and yeah, it makes sense given the white jumpsuit with the red scarf and the exaggerated swagger the kid is trying and failing to pull off, but all Soda can see is the ghost of a different little boy in a zombie costume, for once grinning ear to ear. 

His hand shakes as he drops candy into the kid’s pillowcase- how much, he doesn’t know.

“Thank you. Thank you very much,” the kid offers Elvis’ signature sign off, and the corner of Soda’s mind that isn’t completely frozen notes that it’s not a half bad impression. 

“Cade, c’mon hurry up!” The pirate kid calls from where he’s waiting impatiently at the end of the driveway, and Soda feels like he’s been doused in cold water as Johnny’s ghost hops off the porch and runs over to his friend, singing the opening chorus of ‘Jailhouse Rock’ as he does so.

Soda all but stumbles inside and slams the door shut, heart racing. He doesn’t both opening the door for anyone else the rest of the night. 

He’s seen enough ghosts for one Halloween.

[mister-mickey]

What was Pony’s first impression of Dallas in the zombie AU?

He thought Dallas was crazy because when he first met him, Dallas was mowing zombies down in Bucks old truck.

He only stuck around because he had nowhere else to go (and also because he met Johnny and Johnny offset Dally’s craziness)

Eventually he came to appreciate Dally’s willingness to just destroy the zombies (in increasingly creative ways)
