INDEPENDENT & SEMI-SELECTIVE LEFT 4 DEAD 2′S ELLIS
Hello! I’m Duke ( 21+, GMT+8 ) and this is a roleplaying blog for my canon-divergent, fandomless and zombie-slayin’ sweet southern boy! Please note that there will be triggering content like blood, zombies and death. Do read my rules before interacting, thank you!
Rules About Biography Verses
It's been a hot minute! Is there anybody still around? :O
Woah. It’s been a hot minute. Anyway if anybody wants me to fast-track their replies, or want a thing from Ellis, interact and I’d get to it!
Ellis talks to Claud ( @neonbomb ) about someone he loves.
Their truck crawls along the dirt path, past a homestead that looks like it’s been abandoned since Halloween. Black and orange themed decorations dot the property. One half of a scarecrow swings from a tree, scattering straw everywhere. Ellis averts his gaze. It unlocks a memory.
“Didja ever tell ya ‘bout the nightmares with hanged men in the barn? I was uh, ten? And I had them for a month straight. They called them night terrors. Nothin' helped. Nobody, not even the doc at tha med centre knew what caused it. Until one night, mah momma squeezed in bed an’ talked ‘bout a large pumpkin patch with pumpkins tha size of the moon. Said it was our happy place. Worked a treat. I slept like a baby all night.”
Ellis smiles wanly, looking down at his hands splayed across the steering wheel. “Man, these days I’ve been thinkin' real hard 'bout those pumpkins. We don’t have any raaght now, because the zombies kint stop draggin' themselves through here and diggin’ up the ground. But when this blows over, I’m gonna try growin’ one as big as mah house, so when my momma’s back, she’ll have a happy place to come back to.”
Reaching over Claud, Ellis pulls the glovebox open to reveal... sachets of vegetable seeds, the kinds you would find at a farmer’s market stand. Pumpkin. Bittergourd. Strawberries. Ellis collects seed sachets the way some guys would collect baseball cards. “If she doesn’t make it back,” Ellis has to swallows hard to dislodge the stone forming in his throat. “Whaddya think ‘bout settlin’ down somewhere and growin’ a garden or somethin’?”
BE MY VALENTINE
@neonbomb: 3, 12, 22/52, 23, 29, 38, 43
3: A fictional person that you think would be good in bed:
“Uhhh... why do I feel like bein’ with Harley Quinn would be craaaaa-zee?” It’s not just her. Ellis is under the impression that everyone in DC comics or Marvel movies get to have really hot sex when they’re not fighting.
12: Ever kissed someone of the same sex?
“Yeah, obviously. My papa, on the cheek.”
22: Ever left the house without wearing any underwear?
“Nah. It gets real hot ‘round these areas, y’know? Don’t want anyone to see mah behind sweatin’ against m’overalls like that.”
23: What do you wear when you go to bed?
“Usually an old shirt or somethin’. But like I said, it gets real hot here. So sometimes it’s just mah birthday suit.”
29: Best sexual complement you ever got:
“Wanna go back to mah hause an’ watch porn on mah flat screen mirror? With a line laak that Aah could have said yes, but laak, it was a dude who was drunk as a fish. I don’t reckon he was seein’ straight.”
38: Have/would you ever have sex outside?
Ellis mulls over it for a moment. “I would. But I think I’ll get real shy 'bout bein’ outside. The farm could be as empty as the middle a’tha night but I’ll still feel nervous ‘bout the cows watchin’ me, ya know? But I’ll do it, if it’s what mah darlin’ wants.”
43: How do you feel about tattoos on someone you are interested in?
Ellis smiles widely at this. “I ain’t opposed to it at all. I bet it’ll look like finishin’ touches on a work of art.”

SKAM FRANCE: The Curiosity (2018 -)
love having these beautiful animals on my doorstep
@shctsfired: “It’s better if I’m alone. I can’t hurt anyone if there’s no one close enough to get hit by the debris of my fuck ups.” ( meme )
It isn’t anything the mechanic hasn’t seen before. Crashed car, crushed aspirations. Most of his clients-to-be rose to a certain degree of distress by the time he pulled up, but the lass was beside herself. Ellis sweeps the road ahead— clear, no sign of the Infected, then surveys the wreckage.
The damage on his truck isn’t as bad as she makes it out to be. The impact had knocked the license plate clean off his bumper, but the stranger’s car isn’t so lucky. Ellis whistles when he glimpses the warped bonnet. It’s the closest thing to a crushed coke can on wheels he’s ever seen, but Ellis smooths over the damage with a reassuring “Now, now... Aah kint let that happen tah yew. Leavin’ yew alone. Yer bein’ silly raaght now.”
The sun isn’t so forgiving. It hangs high and heavy in the sky, spiting down his sticky back. From where they stood, the dirt road stretched on endlessly, their escape tucked behind the mountains. Ellis shuffles over to the stranger and squats before her, trying to catch a glimpse of her face shrouded by the curtain of her hair, and delivers the bad news.
“Yer car’s kinda jacked up,” Ellis says. It’s a miracle her ride’s still holding itself together. “But fortunately fer yew, Aah’m a mechanic.” Ellis feels a bit like a superhero saying this, and stands up a little straighter. The Green Flu may be raging in his backyard, but Ellis has never felt more at home. He makes a shooing gesture towards the cab of his truck. “Wait in there. Aah’ll tow yer raade back an’ see it gets fixed good an’ proper.”
@yallcray sent: ‘ the worst thing about you is that you weren’t all bad. ’
There’s one of those trademark long silences from Alex as he considers how the hell to take that statement. He hates when people talk in riddles, and he genuinely believes the world would be a better place if everyone said just what the hell they meant and what the hell they wanted. “No one is all bad or all good, if that’s what you mean.” He doesn’t have the energy to discuss this in English right now, so he switches to French, a language he feels much more comfortable in. “Qu'est-ce que tu veux dire?”
There’s nothing quite like being stonewalled by the greatest driver in McLauren’s history, but it’s also nothing Ellis is unused to. “Yew know what aah’m talkin’ about, Lightnin' Muh-Kween,” Ellis drawls dreamily, turning over to prop his head on his hands against the fence. The fence only comes up to his chest, too short for him, so Ellis ends up squinting at his friend, competing with the afternoon sun.
It’s unfair, really. Alex flourishes in any weather, effortlessly cool in spite of the sun beating down their backs. Ellis on the other hand feels the heat creeping beneath the wide brim of his cap, flushing down the collar of his mechanic’s coveralls. “What happened months ago,” Ellis murmurs, seeking refuge in French, “Quand tu m'as brisé le coeur.”
The southerner waits for the punchline to sink in, and whoops with laughter. “Kidding! You’re still an awful driver with road rage, but a beast on the circuit. Never change.”
me looking at all the new asks in my inbox, everyone understood the assignment
@neonbomb: “Every time i start to feel like things are getting quieter and I can feel safe, something bad always happens.” ( meme )
Years ago, before Infected swarmed the country, Keith and he had talked about the future. They had grand plans of running for president, because there were many things that America needed seeing to. When Ellis realised it wasn't possible, his plans dwindled down to running a local watering hole adjacent to his garage business, 'cause he hadn't seen one that combined the two and wanted to be the first on the map.
Keeping one gig afloat was a lot harder than Ellis had anticipated, and Keith just kept getting into those damn accidents with that automatic overhead door, so Ellis decided to set his mind to being the best dang mechanic Savannah's ever seen.
The Green Flu had just about ruined every long-time plan of his. With the zombie apocalypse just on the horizon, Ellis learns that there's no such thing as consistency. Cars run out of gas, people eat their way through rations and fight for morsels. What he takes for granted today, running water for example, can be something he'll cherish like a dream tomorrow.
So Ellis knows what Claud is saying is the truth. At first, Ellis doesn't really know what to say to that, unsure if it's an answer or reassurance Claud is seeking. Claud's shoulders, strong and broad like a bull's, are tensed when he speaks. Ellis grips the meat of them and kneads, the surety in his hands determined to soothe.
“Yeah, but, we're livin' out the zombie apocalypse, man,” Ellis says, gentle. “Bad stuff kinda has to happen all the time, tah keep us up an' goin'.” Ellis must know he sounds like a cliche, so he slings an arm around his buddy and mashes his cheek against his. “Y'know Aah'm always here with yew anyway. Hardly a moment's peace when Aah'm around.”
PROMPTS FOR THE HEAVY HEARTED
the burdened:
“ being alive is exhausting. ”
“ i ruin everything i touch. ”
“ no one ever helped me when i needed it. so, i just. try to do my best to keep others from feeling that kind of loneliness. ”
“ i feel like the pain is all i am anymore. ”
“ i wish i remembered anything other than loneliness. ”
“ i’m not a particularly good person. but sometimes i wish someone would think i am. ”
“ i’m just always the one who gets left behind. ”
“ i never seem to belong anywhere. or to anyone. ”
“ i’m alone. and it’s my own fault. but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. ”
“ i don’t know how to just live. i constantly feel like i’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. ”
“ i always expect people to hurt me. because they usually do. ”
“ i don’t know how to let go of my trauma. i don’t know what i am without it. ”
“ it’s better if i’m alone. i can’t hurt anyone if there’s no one close enough to get hit by the debris of my fuck ups. ”
“ there are just too many people depending on me. i can’t rest. i can’t let them down. ”
“ i don’t have anything or anyone left anymore. ”
“ i’m not strong. or brave. i survive ‘cause there’s not really any other choice. ”
“ i tried to give up before. but the universe just didn’t let me. ”
“ i just want to be done. i’m tired. i’m so, so fucking tired. ”
“ i know it’s selfish. but i wish someone would just take care of me. ”
“ every time i start to feel like things are getting quieter and i can feel safe, something bad always happens. ”
“ i tend to love people more than they love me. and it’s okay. i don’t mind but…it can be lonely. ”
“ i just don’t feel like my life makes any difference to anyone. i’m just here. ”
the comforter:
“ hey, look at me. i’m listening. you can tell me anything. ”
“ how can i help you feel less alone? ”
“ i’m here and i’m not leaving or letting you change the subject. now talk to me. ”
“ i know you feel like you’re alone and i’m not going to invalidate that. but i can tell you that i’m here. and i know there are people who want to care and help if you’ll let them. ”
“ whatever it is you’re struggling with, i want to help and it’s not going to make me look at you any different. ”
“ i like having you around. and not because of what you can do for me or give to me— i like you. i value you as a person. ”
“ i just need you to know that you’ve never been ‘nobody’ to me. you’ve never been nothing. ”
“ you’re important to me. you hear me? you’re important. and that’s never gonna change. ”
“ i’m not going anywhere until you get some sleep. ”
“ i want to take care of you. please, let me. ”
“ no one is meant to be all alone. that’s not how humans are built. you don’t need to do all this on your own. ”
“ you don’t deserve the bad things that happen to you. you never did. ”
“ i can’t promise you aren’t going to have any more hardship. but i can promise i’m gonna be right here to get your through it. ”
“ you make a difference in my life. i’m not just saying that. it wouldn’t be the same without you here and i don’t want to find out what it’d be like to not have you around. ”
“ next time it gets this bad, you call me okay? now you just sit there and i’m gonna make you some tea and soup and we’re gonna talk this out. ”
“ is it getting bad again? ”
“ you are so much stronger and braver than you think. ”
My death will probably be caused by me being sarcastic at the wrong time.
