beth.

            she still couldn’t believe they’re in a bed. she’d been awake since the sun             began to rise, watching the light creep through window blinds that weren’t             crooked and askew in the wreckage and aftermath of humanity… she breathed              slow and deep and enjoyed the chance to pretend like the world hadn’t changed             as much as it felt like it has. and zach shifted, then, turning to face her, drawing             a smile up from introspection, and she shifted to face him. 

                     her hands pulled the blankets up around her all the more, keeping                      her body modestly hidden, even as she presses closer to be held.

    “ mornin’. sleep well? “

    it took him a while to fall asleep but in the end he was out like a light and     it was weird that he didn’t feel like he had to sleep with one eye open     (though he still did    - kind of). & now that he was in bed and still half-asleep,     he didn’t want to get up and go anywhere. because really, after sleeping on     hard floors and uncomfortable chairs for so long, who wants to get up? he     lazily blinks & yawns, rubbing at his face with his hand.

        & smiling, he stretches his neck to         place a gentle kiss on her forehead.

           ❛ very good, yeah. how about you? ❜

noteskeeping.

   she stares at the other, unsure of what to say or do.    there’s always been this invisible barrier keeping her    from speaking what needs to be said especially when    it came to perfect strangers.  she’s too wary of others,   as she has always been & it was worse considering   the way people are now.  she is hesitant to directly   address him, but she does so quietly, nearly a murmur.   ‘well, on the bright side, we could be out there with    all those Shamblers & freaks.  i mean— people are just   crazy anymore aren’t they?’  she’s rambling to fill the   silence, as if her nervous muttering would somehow   ease the tension of the quiet.  she talks a lot more   than she did in the old world, she realizes.

     zach’s zoned out completely, if he’s honest. he’s not      paying attention to anything around him, because of a      mixture of tiredness and disinterest on what had been      happening before. it’s probably rude, too, and he’s sorry,      but it’s hard to he okay here. alexandria was different      & new & zach was still trying to adjust to everything.       when the girl next to him spoke, he snapped himself      back in to reality & turned his attention to her, listening.      ❛ yeah, i guess so. people are worse now, i think. ❜

veronica.

     if she sees him being messed with because      of this from now on, she’ll most definitely TRY      to help out. keyword here being t r y , because      she isn’t the best person when it comes to       speaking up and fighting off bullies. ( clearly. )

     ❝ yeah. major dicks. ❞ but that was a bit obvious,      wasn’t it? after they shake hands, she can’t help       but smile at zach’s little smirk. so far, he seems      really nice—- and LIKABLE, which is important.      her hand drops back down to her side, and she      begins to speak again– this time, less AWKWARD       than before. she’s already becoming comfortable.

     ❝ so… you’re new. ❞ a slight scoff is given to      h e r s e l f . of course he’s new, dumbo. 

    he laughs, maybe obnoxiously, maybe just completely     out of nowhere (yeah, that one). not really at anything,     he’s really just freaking out on the inside because he’s     probably going to be murdered?

    & he just nods because what else is he going to say? he     didn’t know these guys, and they’d already established     that they were assholes, so that was that. were his hands     too clammy when they shook hands? was he shaking?     why was he so worried? no, he’s fine, he’s still smiling, still     in one piece, he’ll live. get yourself together, zach.

   ❛ yeah    - we moved here a few weeks ago but this is my first    week in school. ❜

⊗ fight me zach

                                  touch zach’s butt i deer u

    he stops in his tracks  almost  completely,  gasping  almost.    the action was  spontaneous  and  random  and  zach  was     anything but expecting of it.  no matter what had happened,    when he turned he was more than surprised  to  see  that  it    was judith that had done it.    what  even  could  he  say???

            ❛ judith ----. ❜

   oh. wow okay i think one is my distaste for carol/caryl?? i know a lot of people that like them and that’s cool but like? i just can’t see it. daryl’s come a long way since the beginning of everything & that’s totally cool but i still can’t see him with anyone   - actually loving anyone unconditionally, the way i think carol would/would want. and though i don’t like carol, i kind of like? after ed and sophia i think she’s better off on her own and their ‘ship’ would work better if they were just friends? /don’t hate me

    also laughs this is just random but i follow some people on snapchat and???? whEN PEOPLE SAY “--- as af” because af alREADY MEANS AS FUCK YOU DON’T NEED TO SAY AS BEFORE AF JUST SAY AF. i’m sorry this is so random but it annoys me so much kms

‘ I swear I heard it from over there. ‘ 

She hides her face behind his shoulder, eyes only peering from behind it as she looks for the source. She swears she heard something, but still can’t  find the source.

    he shakes his head, twisting around to look,     coming up empty. there was nothing, & he     didn’t blame her for thinking she’d heard     something.

      ❛ there’s nothing there   - you want me to go check? ❜

Ж : What do you like best about RPing, in general?       oh. i think the people i’ve met. about seven-eight years ago i was on some website and entered a roleplaying room for twilight that’s where i met my best friend SINCE THEN, emilie. if i’d never started roleplaying i never would have met her so that’s always something i’m grateful for. & once i started roleplaying on tumblr, i’ve met so many more amazing people like you. so yeah, i like meeting people. (also bettering my writing skills but that’s a far second.)

▽ : Any RP pet peeves?      i feel like this is going to sound weird?? but when people use over-the-top writing. y’know, using every single word they know/in the dictionary in a reply, if that makeS SENSE? that and when people pressure me to ship with them? when i had my jasper & bucky people were trying to ship with me all the time and? i didn’t mind at first but when i would say no they would get upset and make me feel bad? i don’t know, man, i think that’s one for everyone, though.

פ : Any characters you'd like to RP with that are currently played by no one?     T-DOG MY BABY. or patrick?? just sticking in the walking dead fandom because wow i could go off on a tangent. but hershel, too??? there are so many tbh

beth.

livelxng liked the starter call

    it had taken only a couple of minutes for the prison to be uninhabitable yet     again. the governor had rolled up and taken the little bit of home and     community they had, and in the end it was for nothing. no one got to stay     there, no one got to stay together and everyone got to watch Beth’s     father die over something meaningless.

    she’d been with maggie, but then she went to find glenn, leaving beth alone     at the bus. she refused to just sit and wait, and that’s when she remembered     judith. she searched high and low for as long as she could before she realized     just how dangerous it was in there and she ran outside into the clouds of smoke     and flying bullets.

    she headed towards the bus, but just as she was getting out of the smoke she     saw it drive away. she looked around frantically and that’s when she saw a figure.     at first she started to back away slowly, but then she realized it was zach. she     sighed with relief and ran forward to meet him.

        ❛ zach! oh thank god, i tried to find judith but i couldn’t find her she’s gone. ❜

    zach just wanted to cry and scream and collapse on the     ground to be rid of this foul fucking world. he’d seen so     many people die, so many good things turn bad and this     world go to shit. he’d lived his life & he was done.

    he wasn’t going anywhere, though. he wouldn’t die until     his life was pulled from his grip, giving off his last breath     for his life; he was going out with a fighting chance, not     like this. he was alone when everything completely went     to hell, he’d seen people get out & people go down. when     he was sure there was no use in staying here, when all     hope was gone for good, he got out, running through walkers     and bullets and smoke as fast as he possibly could, only     stopping when he was as someone ran towards him. 

    and at first he was petrified, of course, because it could     have been a walker, or one of the governor’s men and then     he’d be dead, but once he saw that it was beth he slung his     rifle over his shoulder and held his arms out. 

    zach rests his hands gently on her elbows, and as she     speaks he urges her to move; they need to leave now.      ❛ beth    - beth god, i know. everyone’s gone. we need     to go. we need to get out of here right now. ❜

veronica.

     she’s got to give this new kid props.      he’s got more balls than a lot of the      kids around here. y’know, the ones      who don’t kick the nerds of the school’s      asses. either people are too afraid      to cross people with a rep, or they’re      too wrapped up in their own stuff to       care. veronica’s known this ever since      the first grade.

     it’s not true, but she wants to appear      tough, so she says, ❝ yeah, i normally      fight them back, i don’t know… what      happened this time around… ❞ obviously      a LIE. sawyer’s not known for her great      communication skills, and while she’s good      at keeping secrets, she’s not good at lying      about petty things like this. ( surprisingly,      she’s better at hiding bigger situations.      perhaps it’s just the weight those carry. )

     clearing her throat, the denim-wearing      teen nonchalantly wipes the palm of her      hand on her clothes before offering it in      a handshake. ❝ th–thanks for, uh, helping      me. again. i’m veronica… though you—- probably      didn’t care. ❞ wouldn’t be that much of a      shock.

    he’s probably an idiot, made himself a target for the     future; he’s probably going to get his ass kicked after     school. that’s cool, though, because zach was bullied     in middle school and he knows how shitty it feels, &     he doesn’t wish that shit on anyone.

    he’s cool with what she’s said because he would say     the same thing. he doesn’t usually fight back, he doesn’t     usually open his bit mouth but there was something about     the way those assholes were treating her. he just couldn’t     sit back & watch. but he nods anyway, chuckling slightly.

    ❛ i don’t usually. i guess i just didn’t want to see that     happen, y’know. those guys are assholes, huh? ❜ he holds     his hand out to take hers, shaking it lightly. ❛ it’s no problem.     i’m zach, though you probably don’t care. ❜ & he smirks,     unknowingly to even himself.

stranger.

               nothing like the bitter taste of alcohol to fulfil the illusion of relief                        & merriness. it’s the theory which he built a business on.                    the place is mere ruins now. wreckage of a pipe dream. he smiles.                                                    ‘ y’livin’ ‘round here? ‘

      liquid courage, that’s what he knew alcohol to be. now,       he didn’t need any courage right now, but he needed to       forget some not-so-smart decisions he’d made. ❛ uh, yeah.       i live on campus a ways down the road. ❜

judith.

      she had heard the noises outside and didn’t bother to check it out until she         started to become annoyed since she was trying to take a nap.        as she         walked outside and onto the porch of the house,     she noticed zach in the          middle of the road on a skateboard. when he yelled at her to come watch         him, the girl only got into the yard until zach did a trick which caused him         to land on his face. judith didn’t mean to but a small laugh left through her         lips before rushing over to zach, sitting down beside him as he laid there.

                            “——– nice           trick.”

      it’s like he’s twelve again & he doesn’t even care. rolling over onto       his back and sitting up a bit, he laughs, running a now scrapped       palm over his eyes. so it didn’t turn out exactly how he’d wanted it       to, but it had been so long since the last time he’d ridden a skateboard,       and even longer since he’d tried to attempt a trick. still, though, it was       fun as all hell and kept his mind off of everything that had been going       on around him. smiling wide as ever, he looks over at judith for a       reaction, laughing even more.

                 ❛ that wasn’t supposed to happen. ❜

beth.

      zach came back, and she leaned into that touch like a greedy cat,       closing her eyes for a moment. it was difficult to open them again,       but she did, peering blearily at the boy who continued to tug at her       blocked-up heart. she missed him, when he left, and she didn’t       want him to go, to sneak away like this… 

               “ s’okay… y’comin’ back? “

     he lets out a light chuckle, leaning over to press a gentle kiss      onto her forehead. he doesn’t want to leave, not like this & not      at all but things need to get done. to even think of leaving her,      of not coming back to this warm bed and her sweet scent, it      made him cringe.

                 ❛ of course, of course i’m coming back. ❜

bobby.

                 && livelxng.

      they   have  to  run  to  survive;  they  have  to  kill  to  survive  &  most       of all they have to  TRUST  one another to survive.   &  for  the  longest       time  it  was  hard  for  bobby  to  trust  anyone  - up  until  bobby  came       across  zach  in  the very beginning.  he was just a kid,  to him at least,       no older than twenty-three.  alone, starving,  and just trying to survive.       & he trusted him   - not because he had to, because he felt the need to,       but because he wanted to      – because he wanted to feel like a human       again.  because  he  wanted  to  give  someone  else  a  chance  to  live.

                  ❛ zach, eat this. ❜

      zach leans against the warm wall. it’s right in the sun & he has to       squint to look over to bobby. he runs thin fingers through coarse,       curly brown strands and scratches at the skin. they’ve been       together almost four months now, scraping through building after       building to find whatever food & resources they could. they were       on their last bit of food now, and he’s eaten yesterday. he declines,       as politely as one can nowadays, and pushes his hand back. he       isn’t hungry; after the sight they laid their eyes on today, zach doesn’t       think he’ll ever be able to eat again.

                  ❛ i’m fine, bobby. thanks;     you eat it. ❜

           i’m really trying to break this negativity that’s seemed to buried itself deep down in my core. it’s unlike            me  and  it’s  really weighing on all of the blogs that i run and i feel like it might even be messing with            some of the  friendships  i’ve  made  through  this blog. so i’m trying everything in my power to make            myself feel better and the best way for me to  do  that  is by spreading love of blogs i enjoy following            myself. the following bias list is in no particular order and i’m certain i will leave off people. thank you            all for being amazing and supportive and i just miss y’all  so  much  and  want  to  get back to normal.
