When is Season 10 of Zombies, Run! coming out? I miss Five! I played the preview, and I miss Five. Help, Rofflenet homies. Give me a light at the end of the tunnel.

My Walker (alternative title: the brain rot love child of my needlessly-thorough OC lore and a 5-year obsession with The Walk)

Evan Walker

Her real name is Evangeline but she’s Evan to anyone who asks. As a teenager she tried to go by EK (her first two initials) but it never caught on. She’s got something going on in the gender department, but has never had a moment’s peace in her entire life to find out exactly what that something is. Evan is autistic, bisexual and has NO BITCHES.

She is entrusted with her device at the behest of her father, working with the ulterior motive of finding out what happened during the fabled “year she can’t remember”. (rolls off the tongue, I know) (AU where Walker didn’t volunteer for the testing because I love angst) She lost her home, her job and her livelihood in Budapest, so she sees The Walk as her last chance at redeeming herself.

Walker/Aaron is my favourite ship in the world, walking into certain death together is couple goals actually if you didn’t know.

IM GOING TO USE THIS BLOG TO WAFFLE ON AND ON ABOUT HER EVEN IF NO ONE GIVES A SHIT

Evan: i’m leaving. five is in charge. i’ve left notes for each of you with instructions.

Simon: mine just says ‘simon no’

Evan: and you can apply that to any situation.

Okay so uh...

let's do this.

I know I've kinda posted quite a bit already, but I really want to do a formal introduction to myself and my Five here, and what imma be up to. I kinda joined to post about my feelings about this good stuff, my fan art, memes, fangirling, all that good stuff. I finished 5k training and I'm just about to start Season 2 so I'm pretty new, but this fandom is literally my everything and ugh I love it so much already. Everyone is so welcoming in this fandom and I have literally seen no hate in here at all, which makes this space feel even more safe and secure. I made this account to join in with y'all in sharing and "bonding" ( I guess??) over memes, fan art, fanfics, quotes, favourite episodes and so much other good stuff. I really love looking through everyone's different posts, and seeing how cool and unique everyone's Five is! I hope y'all come with me while I make my way through this good shit,, and even if not, I'm gonna post on here anyway and continue to follow everyone else's stuff, cause its all amazing! Anyway,, enough ranting from me!

Here's a description of my Five! (shamelessly self inserting here, but also like a few changed aspects)

On the physical side of things, she's a 5"3, messy haired gal with freckles all over her nose. She's got scars and bruises from MULTIPLE occasions, some from mission runs, others from accidents she'd rather not admit to. Five's small (ish) but strong, with pretty decent sized muscles >:)

She's a clumsy, chaotic dumbass who has has a tendency to make jokes at the wrong moments (dark jokes are her specialty). She's very messy, always loses stuff and forgets things, and is constantly getting bugged by Janine to clean up her dorm area whilst Sam gets the blame for "being a bad influence" on her. She can be fierce but is extremely loyal, and would literally d i e for her friends.

She's sweet on Sam, but would never admit it, despite everyone's growing frustrations as they can all DEFINTLEY. TELL.

Loves the rain, storms, all of it. Often at night time she'll run around Abel, eventually climbing onto the roof of the biggest building and just tipping her head to the sky. She'll sit there for hours on her own. It helps her deal with stuff, and she likes the feeling of being so high.

Five is really helpful and is always known around Abel to be around if anyone needs anything, whether it's help with a chore, a problem, advice, anything! Overtime, it does tend to affect her longterm, although she doesn't like admitting it. Five never puts her mental health first and is constantly having to be reminded to take care of herself, despite her trying her hardest to push it aside to make sure she can help others first. She can get pretty sarcastic, but is a lot of fun and is always up for anything! She usually copes with her trauma or problems using humour, despite the growing concern about it from her friends.

-WILL COMMIT CRIME WHENEVER NECESSARY-

Before the apocalypse, Five had a thing where she never really let people touch her, even just hugging. She didn't know why she did it, but it made her feel really wrong, which caused a lot of issues and isolation from everyone else, especially with family. But after moving to Abel and getting close and comfy with her new family, she finally found that she was really okay being around people again. Play fighting, piggybacks, general touching, hugging, you name it! For the most part, she was good with it again. In fact, the more compressing the hug, the better. (This only goes for her closer friends. She's still not completely used to physical contact, and will often cringe away from people if they try anything) Five doesn't like to admit it, but she sleeps with a "cuddle companion" every night, which she will literally squeeze very tightly to simulate safety in her own bubble 😅 (wow I'm really outing myself rn huh)

THIS BABY CAN FIT SO. MUCH. TRAUMA.

So yeah! Jokes aside, that's my Five so far. As soon as I post this, I'm probably going to realise I forgot something and I'll quickly edit it in later...

But uh, I really appreciate this fandom, and I'm super excited to see where this goes. I'm loving how no one makes fun of anyone for self inserting, their ships or opinions on the app and the missions, because I've always felt so weird about doing it in things I love, but this game is literally MADE around the player, which gives for really good and unique content (sorry I'm mentioning this a lot) I live for everyone's different art styles, memes, and just general support of each other. I really look forward to posting more on here and sharing my things, even though it's probably old news to a lot of you!

As I said before, I'm just starting out season 2, so I know I have a lot more to go to catch up to a lot of y'all, but from some spoilers I couldn't help but read I'm very pumped to keep going!

Before I end this massive introduction (whoops), I'd like to give a quick mention to some of the accounts that I've really enjoyed looking through and have inspired me with their art over here whilst I've first started, even thought they don't know me :) @abeltownshipslittlebitch @kaoticfive @runfive @incorrectzombiesrun @midwestern-runner-five @hippyexd @sams-fourth-runner-five @iamrunner5 @nokkiart

I hope people find this account and read through and think "huh, I'm in the same boat as this slightly concerning gal, and yet somehow this makes me feel a little less weird about being so attached to this fandom" (shush I know it's specific,, may or may not be from experience) or even "huh. FUNNY MEME"

Tehe.

So yeah! I hope to see some of you in the future!

Stay safe out there ;)

Everyone else: OMFG CORONAVIRUS IS GONNA KILL US ALL!!!!!!

Zombies, Run! Fandom: OUR TIME HAS COME!!! RAISE THE MUTHA-FUCKING GATES!!!!

[hippyexd]

My bebe being a badass dipshit UwU I was bored and hit art block, had to do something. I was too lazy to do a clean lineart so have this sketchy mess.

Also here's Simon's reaction:

[random066]

Sam: "Why are you out here training with an axe in just a sports bra?"

My runner 5: "Because I get hot easily and I've collected thousands of sports bras, might as well get some use out of them."

Sam: "But why are you training with an axe? Why aren't you running around since you are, you know, a runner."

Runner 5: "Cause I need to work on my swing! *thwack*

Sam: "...right...I'm just gonna go.

What about some not so great things on Zombies, Run! ?

I’ve read a few posts about how postive the Zombies, Run! fandom is, and of course I totally agree. But I was wondering, what about the aspects of the show that some of us disliked? I am nervous posting about that as I fear that I would receive a lot of backlash. On the other hand, I think, every show, book, movie can be critized by its fans without them not being fans anymore. I would love a bit of a discussion of some aspects of Zombies, Run! that really didn’t work for me or others or that some of us actually disliked. What do you think?
