[bamsroa]

speaking of L4D on my last post reminded me that i need to show the world my scrumpys, Stick (smoker) and Rabies (hunter)

insert typical trope where they have retained a distant sense of their humanity and follow my OC Mish around.

their real names no longer apply to the person they’ve become since the flu, but Mish is no expert on names, so it was simple.

The Smoker is long and thin, he became Stick.

The Hunter is a feral little bastard that goes around on all fours like a rabid animal. Thus, he became Rabies.

I have so much lore of them it ain’t even funny, maybe one day i shall splurge it to the 8 people still left in this fandom because u guys are my heroes and you are keeping hope alive

Oh I didn't mention it last ask, but my Keith is part of an au where Nick gets separated from the other 3 (before Ellis can ever get into a story), but later runs into Keith. Pray for Nick's sanity. Also they 100% don't get along for like the first week or two, it takes a physical altercation and being threatened to be left behind for Nick to stop being a dick towards Keith. They actually get along a few weeks after that though.

I ALWAYS love thinking about the potential dynamic between Nick and Keith. I love your hypotheticals anon they sound delightful. I mean we see in the game that Nick *will* clam up when somebody bites back at him. Like when Coach tells him to lose the attitude. So having to threaten him into behaving checks out x3

Glad they get along in your AU though it sounds really cool from the snippets I hear of it!!!

Artfight attack for @magnum-ultra-ultrus !!

[creatingblackcharacters]

Since I’ve seen a few asks on your page discussing the folkloric origins of the zombie, I wanted to share a bit of slightly related film history that suits this page.

I don’t know how up on film history you are but what’s widely considered the first zombie movie (albeit it never uses the word zombie), Night of the Living Dead, has the heroic lead Ben played by a Black actor, Duane Jones. It came out in 1968 and Ben wasn’t written to be Black, but George Romero just ended up casting him because Jones gave the best audition (and he is really incredible, this is a favorite film of mine and his performance is a big reason). Obviously though, because of the casting choice of Ben (in addition to the era in which the film was made) the lenses you can analyze it through increase (with the way the other characters treat him despite the fact that he’s the only one actively thinking and planning and being competent, and also the ending hits in a different way as examples). One of my favorite horror heroes honestly.

I've never got to see this one, but from I've heard it's absolutely a great example of what happens when you cast a Black person in a role that wasn't meant to be "Black", and how that can change the dynamic of that character and of the meaning of a story.

Duane Jones actually had a huge part in the development of Ben's characterization. Originally Ben was supposed to be an uneducated truck driver sort of guy, that would shout crude remarks and demands. Jones revised his lines to create a more sophisticated character that could be seen as the rational, competent leader.

He also decided how the movie would end for his character.

Spoilers for the end of Night of the Living Dead:

Duane Jones himself also insisted that his character needed to die at the end

“I convinced George that the Black community would rather see me dead than saved, after all that had gone on, in a corny and symbolically confusing way,” Jones said. “The heroes never die in American movies. The jolt of that, and the double jolt of the hero being Black seemed like a double-barreled whammy.”.

Without Duane Jones in the lead, “Night” would still have been an innovative shocker but wouldn’t have hit the cultural nerves it did

Yet another Artfight attack, for @variantdm !!
