he/they | i reblog a bunch of random shit and sometimes talk about 9-1-1 and other shows/etc.

[samandcheesewinchesterr]

okay a while ago i made a post with this image asking for recs

i’m now returning to make a list for anyone else that shares my slightly niche hyperfixation

so here we are a list of different medias that are about zombies that have queer characters

Movies:

Anna and the Apocalypse (2018)

Shaun of the Dead (2004) (intentionally queer-coded but trust me it’s very explicit)

Housewife Alien vs. Gay Zombie (2017)

ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009)

Tv Shows:

The Walking Dead (2010-2022) (queer rep from season 4 [2013] onward)

In The Flesh (2013-2014)

The Last Of Us (2023-)

Fear The Walking Dead (2015-2023)

The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020-2021)

Books/Comics:

The Walking Dead comics (issue #67 onward)

Wranglestone (by Darren Charlton)

Hell Follows With Us (by Andrew Joseph White) (zombie-adjacent)

Webseries/Webcomics:

Shoot Around (webcomic 2015-2017)

Video Games

The Last Of Us (2013) (only one explicitly queer character who’s only in a small section of the game)

The Last Of Us: Left Behind (2013)

The Last Of Us: Part II (2020)

so basically the world is severely lacking in this type of media but im gonna keep this post as an ongoing account of it all so i’ll keep coming back and editing it and adding more as i find more

what upsets me is that the walking dead is the only one of these that isn’t a) a parody or b) about zombies living as normal people (at the time i made the post)

as usual please leave recommendations if you have any !!

Trying to find an old tumblr post I used to see a lot.

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

It was the first time I'd seen the term "liminal" applied to places like that, and it's driving me crazy, I want to find and put a date on it so bad.

[ieattaperecorders]

NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT!!!

[ieattaperecorders]

Holy shit I just realized:

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

LIMINAL SPACES TURN TEN TOMORROW! CELEBRATE BY GETTING LOST IN AN ABANDONED MALL!

"these deadly heatwaves aren't getting ANY media attention!!"

Babe it's been front page news all week. France, India, all of them. Please read the news somewhere other than Tumblr

For fucks sake we have an aging userbase there's no excuse for not reading the news on actual news websites anymore. NPR, PBS, AP, even CNN for godssakes I'm so fucking sick of "NOBODY is talking about this!!" you are all children

[blackshvck]

the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive

wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.

can y'all stop just throwing random words together and expecting us to understand it

[re-bee-key]

you had to be there

[deadpowol]

[theyellowbrickroad]

i had the best human interaction of all time last night. i was sitting at a bar eating an appetizer and this guy comes up to order a drink and stares at my food and comments how good it looks. when i am drunk i use the word bitch like it is a comma, i plug it into any space in a sentence possible. so naturally the first thing i say to this stranger is, “go ahead and take one, bitch.”

he looks SO shocked and taken aback and goes “what did you just say? how do you know my name?” so i sit there for a moment trying to figure out what the fuck he is talking about, and then go, “…. bitch?” and he looks so relieved and tells me his name is mitch.

i cannot stop thinking about this. oh my god. imagine going into a bar and someone you know for a fact youve never met approaches you and says “go ahead and take one, mitch.” im cracking the fuck up. he looked like he thought this was the fucking truman show

top notch interaction I had with the ambulance crew after my accident a couple years back:

paramedic: hi, I'm Allan

me: you told me. and your colleague is Jim, and the man who found me is Peter. guess my short-term memory is okay

Allan: ..are you doing a cognitive function test on yourself

[dragon-in-a-fez]

Allan, two minutes later, putting a third blanket around me: okay, how's that feeling now

me: well my feet are still freezing but it's okay, I know you need to focus on getting my core temperature up first

Allan: how many times has this happened to you

[dragon-in-a-fez]

noteworthy that they literally had a mask on me hooked up to a tank pumping narcotics into my lungs through all this, and my body temperature was like 34°. I would have been doing well to just have both eyes pointed in the same direction

me when i mishear a lyric in one of my favourite songs and it doesn’t even make sense within the context if the song really but connect more with my misheard lyric than the real one

[apollosunn-moved-deactivated202]

anyone else relate

[midnightclover]

[narcissistcookbook]

are you ok with people carving the sound of your music into beeswax and eating it for impersonal use?

nothing i reply with will be as funny as the question

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He—wait. Why dost the Lord hath clippers.

[biglawbear]

The Lord sheareth me.

Martina McBride didn't win Country Music Association Song of the Year for a song about how burning your house down with your abusive husband still inside it is good, noble, and an allegory for the American Revolution for people to act like the genre belongs to bootlicking fucks

[dragon-in-a-fez]

other things people didn't do for you to act like country music belongs to bootlicking fucks:

Garth Brooks winning video of the year at the ACMs for a song about how none of us are free as long as there's racism and homophobia

Reba McEntire charting with a gothic horror song about an innocent man being executed by an incompetent judge and a corrupt sheriff

Willie Nelson being, well, his entire self tbh

Dolly Parton recording the hating capitalism banger of all time

Kacey Musgraves telling everyone to ignore the haters, smoke weed, and be a bisexual slut

[just-your-average-tangerine]

I'd like to add

- The Chicks and speaking out against Bush and the Iraq war, and when they got death threats and were blacklisted from country radio, they doubled down and recorded a song saying 'no, you're wrong and were not going to sit down and accept it'. (Also, their song about how you should definitely kill your friends abusive husband, dump his body in a lake, and live out the rest of your lives as lesbian farmers.)

-One of Johnny Cash's most famous songs is about being a visual reminder of the inequality and discrimination in our society.
