Zombie AU!

short lore descriptions ↓

Pete- He was the first to notice Bill was a zombie, but after punching him in the face to get away, Pete gravely discovered he punched Bill right in the mouth, i.e. he got bit. Although he's a fast moving zombie, Pete moves slow on purpose. He has the least remnants of humanity out of the group, fully embracing his ghoulish way of life.

Josh- Bit by Bill at comic-con. He found a group of survivors in a cafeteria and tried convincing them he wasn't bit; it didn't work and they locked him in the freezer. Although he missed out on ice powers, being locked in the freezer for so long and having thicker skin gave Josh high fire resistance.

Jerry- Bit by Bill at comic-con. Ran into the woods to escape need for human brains. Subsides hunger by eating forest animals and is eventually overgrown with plants from lack of movement. Rejoins Bill's zombie hoard with Pete and Josh as he became stir-crazy.

Bill- The first to be infected by inhaling spores from a moldy comic book. Bill's the start of the zombie apocalypse and the end of comic-con. He has the highest level of intelligence, meaning he's able to communicate with zombies and humans, but will use his intelligence to manipulate his friends. It's finally a world where Bill doesn't have to work a shitty job and can steal as many collectibles and comics as he pleases. Being head zombie also raises his self-esteem, but the caveat is there's a country wide search for "Patient Zero," which could end his fun.

doors exist and someday batman will learn to use them but today is not that day 🙂‍↔️

youre not better than other people just because you listen to weird music

yes I am

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

i swear this was just supposed to be some fun aesthetic swap doodles, but then i started thinking about The Implications and now i have a wholeass story behind this au lol

any world where grace chasity isn’t a horny, homicidal prude, we lose the original plot, so this au would revolve more around the church of the starry children then max jägerman lol

solomon decides the best way to wield power in hatchetfield is through religion instead of government and he unites all the tiny denominational churches into his church, becoming the pastor (happening around the same time steph starts middle school.)

it works. almost everyone attends solomon’s church, and it becomes a required social event for anyone who’s anyone in hatchetfield.

but it’s all a manipulation for bigger purposes as solomon slowly incorporates text from the black book, pushing the church into culty territory.

as the preacher’s kid, steph is under constant scrutiny. she might have wanted to rebel as a kid, but the wrath of god is a much bigger threat than just breaking her phone and solomon uses fear and guilt to keep her in line, turning her into a model of godly behavior (at least on the surface).

the chasitys refuse to join solomon’s church, but their small congregation shuts down when there aren’t enough people left. 

grace’s parents encourage grace to pour all her free time into individual bible study to make up for the lack of church, church activities, and church outings, but grace starts treating the bible like a textbook instead of a spiritual guide.

without structured church activities, her obsession with rules and procedures shifts to the school system

grace unknowingly separates herself from spirituality when her bible obsession becomes academic. she’s still a christian, but she’s more likely to corner you in the library to infodump about angelic hierarchies than preach about purity.

travis coulson was ruth’s older cousin. it freaked her the hell out that someone could be bullied that bad that they have to transfer and their entire life is erased for a dumbass lie that everyone believes. so ruth vows that she and her friends will never be outcasts (or timberwolves) and drags pete and richie into a "popularity pact" in fifth grade, forcing them to get cool or else.

the trio spends their summer doing research and practicing social skills. (they basically spend their time practicing masking autism and refining their ability to camouflage.)

the trio starts researching what’s cool. their findings? football players, student council presidents, and school play leads are the pinnacle of popularity. so, they throw themselves into middle school tryouts and campaigns to fit these roles:

richie tries out for football but ends up as the mascot.

ruth auditions for the lead in the school play but gets relegated to lighting tech.

pete campaigns for class president but only gets elected secretary.

instead of quitting there, they regroup and try again in high school:

richie uses the athleticism he got as a mascot to land him a spot on the swim team.

ruth works her way up to the the student/assistant director for the school plays

pete works his way up the student council ranks, eventually becoming class president.

the trio is finally just cool enough that their quirks get rebranded as "quirky-cool" instead of "weird." they still bond over star wars and anime in secret, but their popularity ensures they’re never targets again.

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
