My Five from A Study In Ichor! I’m only two episodes in but I love it so much!!! I simply couldn’t resist a Victorian era/Industrial Revolution so I went a little ham with her 😂 Here’s a few things I wrote up about her:
five immigrated to England with her brother and father from Hong Kong to move into her mothers house when she was very young. Her mother was a middle class white woman whose family hailed from Germany
She was seen as an abomination, as her parents union was frowned upon and unlawful, and things were very difficult for the family
Her father was killed by a mob for attempting to be a schoolteacher and her mother died of tuberculosis
She and her brother moved to the city in search of jobs and a new life, and when he caught the eye of a wealthy lady and began courting her, five urged him to marry her and secure a better life. He didn’t want to leave her, but she INSISTED. She wanted her brother to be comfortable and happy, and she knew she couldn’t follow him. So he left, promising to come back for her
Being a woman in Victorian London is TOUGH. Trying to make a living as a single, orphaned, biracial woman in Victorian London? FORGET IT. So she bound her chest and took over her brothers job working for Van Arks company. She thought impersonating her brother was necessary, but she quickly realized no one even noticed he was gone. But she couldn’t work his job as a woman, despite being strangely buff without the calories necessary to build that kind of muscles, so she continued to Mulan it
When Sam met her, he had *no* idea she was a girl. When he brought her to his house, he realized her gender and uhhhhh, he had already developed a crush on her as a dude?? And then he found she could do BOTH???? We love bisexual sam, he was BLESSED.
Luckily, she didn’t mind constantly dressing in drag, so having a man move in with Sam as an “associate” was a lot less conspicuous and scandalous than a woman moving in with him bc ✨heteronormative bullshit✨
Also!!! As a cis woman, I’m not familiar with trans sort of situations, although I’m not sure I was categorize Five as trans in this AU? She generally uses she/her pronouns but is ok with/identifies with he/him and they/them as well. If any trans members of the ZR community would like to educate me or point out problems with this, I would love to hear it!! Thanks all <3
I've been sitting on this for a while because I hadn't gotten it perfect. But I'm tired of waiting for that, especially in a pandemic when things are not going to be the way they were before for a long time. And honestly, I'm really damn proud of myself for what I have done. It's not everything I wanted but...you know what, fuck it. It's more then past me ever DREAMED I'd get. When I started trying to lose weight in 2019 because I finally was like, okay, that's enough. I was 185lbs and my ultimate goal was 140. I didn't think I'd get there. I thought I'd probably get to 150 and plateau and that'd be the end of that. But it wasn't. I hit my goal, and fucking more. I kept going. It was not easy. It was not always what I wanted to do.
"Must be nice to have the time." No. The fuck. I did. Not. I went to the Gym at 2am. I work 2 jobs, It was the only time I had to be able to do it. After my night job, I'd change in the bathroom and go straight to Planet fitness and get on the treadmill for anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on my mood/exhaustion level. https://www.facebook.com/zombiesrungame helped me lose all my weight. I would listen to them every night and do my missions. I fell in love with the characters and it breaks my heart I can't do them now, since I can't run outside and I won't chance a gym right now. But we'll be together soon. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me and all the help and support I've felt. Truly, thank you guys.
But anyway, I didn't post this before because I kept saying, once I tone it up, once I tone it up. Once I make it look just a little nicer. Once I lose the lose skin. Once I lose the pudgey fat. That may be a long time coming for now. And I am tired of not acknowledging the hard work I've done. I know it doesn't matter at all. But I said I'd post it when all was said and done. So I will. And once I lose it all, I'll do it again. Now do I look amazing? No, certainly not. Is anything I'm about to show ground breaking? Of course not. But do I look and feel alot different? Hell yes. And I'm proud of it. And so I'll share it. Because, seriously. Why the fuck not. So The hard work and effort in pics are here. And the Results in the next one. Which of course means you'll see the others first, but that's how this shit works I guess. Lol.
Tonight's run was a speed play run so I had a slower overall pace while still breaking a couple of my own PRs so good run overall 😊
Also it was raining out so I'm not sure if I'm shiny from perspiration or precipitation in that Post-Run piccie 😝
I....I never really did finish this comic...
IM SO EXCITED FOR THE HALLOWEEN RACE OMG
I’ll be posting updates of my running up until that point :)
Pls reblog/msg/shout wildly if you post about Zombies Run but with no spoilers
Or educate my ass if you know how to block tags so I don't see any spoilers xD
“Day 6
Today was awesome.
We have quite a few kids here now, so a school has been built for them. So yesterday afternoon, some runners headed out to an abandoned school building not far from here, to get some supplies. They got a great haul; textbooks, stationery, whiteboards, sports equipment: anything they could carry. The best thing though was the building had a music department. They managed to get hold of a music player, CDs and a whole load of instruments.
I was lucky enough to have the day off today, so I spent the best part of it helping to set up the equipment in our little school. Once we’d finished up, we decided the Township could do with a morale booster. Something to break the zombified norm.
We pushed the tables and chairs in the dining hall against the walls, clearing a space in the middle, and had ourselves a party. Once things got going, it came out that there were a load of budding musicians and dancers at Abel, so it turned into a bit of a talent show for a while. It was great! It was like we all caught a glimpse of who everyone was before the outbreak. Some of the lab techs here used to do ballet, so they danced for everyone. Some of the doctors and nurses on site got together as a make-shift string trio (no quartet; cellos are tough to transport). I even got roped into performing.
I used to be an acoustic singer-songwriter back in the day, and the runners managed to grab a guitar in their raid; figured it would be rude not to. Plus it seemed to pique Sam’s interest; he watched pretty intently. I felt myself going red when I noticed him looking, so I determinedly looked anywhere but at him. For goodness sake; it’s the bloody zombie apocalypse, I’ve faced imminent danger and yet I get flustered when a guy so much as looks my way. It’s ridiculous!
Moving on…
A bit later, it was agreed we could get out some of the alcohol we’d salvaged. Though no one was allowed too much; Dr Myers said we needed to make sure we had stock for antiseptic, but saw no harm in letting us drink some of it. After a while, we just had CDs playing and everyone was having a dance. Even I got up and danced (a rare occurrence I can assure you). Glad I did though. There was a point when Janine, Dr Myers, Sam and I were all up joyfully singing along to Build Me Up Buttercup. I even managed to not make an idiot of myself when Sam casually put an arm round me, resting his hand on my waist.
All in all, it was a fab afternoon/evening. Everyone was just laughing and chatting, getting to know each other, and enjoying each other’s company.
We felt like a family.
A very… dysfunctional kind of family… but a family nonetheless.
