who wants zombie au writing. don't answer that ur getting it anyway (1.6k words)

His shoes knock against the old flooring of the house, wood creaking under rubber soles that slide over the woodgrain. He drags them a bit, lifts his limbs up no more than he strictly has to, and they lead him to the nearest sittable surface.

The couch is old and dusty and has likely gone untouched for months, much like everything else nowadays, so he watches the thin cloud of dust billow off the cushions largely with disinterest. He collapses into the fabric heavily, feels the whole thing scoot back an inch and hit the wall behind him. The sound echoes, carried by lifeless rooms, while he unceremoniously drops his backpack to the floor by his feet.

The breath he lets out is slow and methodical and born of pent up muscles, aimed at the ceiling where he rests his neck against the back of the couch and relaxes every limb one by one. It’s a process he forces himself through, if only to rid the constant ache beneath his skin.

Slow, sweeping footsteps meander around the room in front of him, and Ritsu angles his gaze down from his craned back position to look at his brother. He wanders, like he so often does—seemingly aimless, but there’s something procedural about it that he’s convinced he just hasn’t figured out yet.

Shigeo’s empty eyes crawl along the hearth of the fireplace, explosions of ash sprayed out across the red brick. His head tilts up to trace his attention around the angular lines of the television, hung on the wall and screen grey with dust. He flits back and forth between the roundness of the bricked mantle and the sharp edges of the screen, like he’s taking notes.

Shigeo paws the television. Four lines of muck are cleared. The zombie blinks, paws at it again with dusty, curious fingers. Ritsu watches him make a mess of the television screen in silence, blinking tiredly.

He almost closes his eyes, but he fights against the urge and moves his fingers down his lap to reach for his bag. His middle hooks around the loop at the top and he lugs it up and into his lap, where he unzips it and peers into the shadowy contents.

Ritsu fishes out the water bottles. He finds the one with the messy R scribbled along the cap in sharpie and takes a big swig of it. It’s warm going down, constantly insulated in a bag of old, sweaty clothes. He feels like he can taste the odor in it, but it clears the grain in his throat from stomping all over dirt roads today, so he’s still grateful.

He holds out the one labeled S to Shigeo. “Thirsty?”

Shigeo looks at him from where he’s crouched down to the floor now, inspecting the soot along the hearth. Unfortunately, he sees handprints in the black already, and when his brother reaches a hand out to take it, his palm is covered in soot.

He lets him have his fun and settles his own bottle back in the mess of tangled clothes and rolls of bandages. Ritsu rakes his fingers through their stock with no real purpose—he knows exactly what’s in here, and none of it is useful.

They’d been searching all day; Ritsu doesn’t really know how far they’d walked, but it had to be a lot of miles. In and out of stores, up and down empty houses, weaving between warehouses—they didn’t really stop for a break. Not when Ritsu can hear Shigeo’s stomach from here and he himself has shaking hands. They can’t afford a break.

Nothing, though. Not a single goddamn thing worth taking. A settlement must have come through here long ago and swept the highway. They’re in the countryside, where houses are spaced out acres from each other and there’s entire cow pastures between properties. And yet every house they’d seen and entered provided nothing.

Ritsu stares into the negative space in his bag where there should be supplies. His stomach cramps and if he smells another whiff of that godawful sweaty, bloody sweatshirt he still carries, he’s going to throw up bile.

He leans away from the open pouch, eyes wandering to his brother who draws… something into the soot of the hearth. His water bottle sits on the floor, abandoned and still unscrewed. Ritsu leans forward with great effort and a grunt, leaning over his bag to grab at the top of it.

It takes him two tries to get Shigeo’s attention, and one more for an answer on where the cap is. It’s then placed in his palm, covered in soot and also saliva. Ritsu swallows down the nausea that rolls up his throat and wipes it off with his frankly already disgusting sleeve, and screws it back on.

He leans back again, succumbing to the urge to let his eyes rest, and he listens to the very subtle swipe of his brother’s hands across brick. There’s birds outside, chirping, and even though it’s still very much a common occurrence, Ritsu cannot help but feel nostalgic about it.

If he ignores the awful hum of silence, and the distinct lack of an electric thrum throughout the walls, and the fact that this is a stranger’s couch and not his, he can almost imagine normalcy. He can almost say this feels like those quiet moments after school, when he settles on the couch and scrolls through his phone in a house that only holds him and his brother because their parents simply aren’t home yet.

He can almost hear the creak of wood from Shigeo walking around his room upstairs. He can almost tap his fingers on the couch cushions to the pattern of his brother making his way down the steps. He can almost hear the fridge opening, and the sound of milk being poured into glass.

Almost. But Ritsu listens to sharp silence instead, and he tries not to think too hard.

He drifts for a while, feels himself truly sink into the couch and let the cushions claim him, and he thinks about nothings because if he doesn’t, then he’ll lose it. He carefully sifts through the nothingness of his mind, through the passing thoughts that have no bearing, and he focuses on that, on the lack of substance. His head is too full of things that have too much substance.

He misses boredom. He tells himself he misses boredom—the complete insubstantiality of it—because if he lets himself think of what he really misses, it’ll drive him insane.

The cushions move, and Ritsu peels his eyes open and lets himself get pulled from liminal mindspace. The cotton in his head recedes, and he blinks, and then he’s swiveling his head to look at his brother who sits in the cushion right next to him.

His hands and the cuffs of his hoodie are smothered in black. Shigeo sits hunched, gaze still wandering even when there’s not much decoration in this house to look at. He studies the off-white walls, the chips in the paint, the holes drilled in where there maybe used to be photos hung.

Ritsu gazes at him quietly, chest instinctively rising and falling to match his brother’s rhythm. He watches the expansion there, under his hoodie, in the subtlety of the folds and the way they warp over the movement. It’s slightly quicker than what he’s used to, but Ritsu knows his brother’s heart rate is much slower. He’s felt it before. He’s listened to it before, with his ear against a chest.

Ritsu’s attention moves to his eyes, and the heavy bags underneath them, and the paleness of his pupils and the ghostlight of him underneath that. He stares into them, looks for stray, familiar thoughts that might enter his head. Looks for old memories that might shine through in the form of recognition when he sees furniture layouts, and candy wrappers, and ads for soda.

Ritsu looks for it all the time, that glint of familiarity. And he finds it, sometimes. And really, he thinks that’s keeping him going more than food ever will.

Shigeo turns his head, and looks at him. Sometimes, when his brother looks at him, there’s not much there. No substance, no anything. And Ritsu finds it a bit evil that he craves silence in his own head, and yet noise in Shigeo’s, and often times it is the other way around.

His brother looks at him now, though, with that comforting recognition. That growth of the pupils, that softening of the hard edges of his face where unknown stressors have gotten to him. Ritsu wonders what zombies get stressed out. He figures it’s the same deal with humans, considering they’re largely alike.

Ritsu wonders if Shigeo knows he’s sick. He wishes he could ask him. He wishes for a lot of things. Silence in his own head is one of them.

Ritsu swivels his head away and stares at the ceiling, if only to force the thoughts to pause. He studies the popcorn ridges above them, traces the peaks with his gaze. It calms him, gives him something to focus on. He looks for patterns in the shadows they make.

Shigeo shifts next to him. And then he shimmies down, settles into the cushions, and plops his head right down on Ritsu’s shoulder.

Static roars in his mind and his heart stammers. Ritsu swallows the lump in his throat but that just makes it bigger, so he clamps his mouth shut and breathes carefully through his nose.

The tears cut through the grime on his face. He plops his own head down against his brother’s, and lives in the noise.

I just finished reading my penultimate Perry Mason novel. I only have one left to read and I already have it in my possession (thanks, local library!) but I'm not ready. I'm not ready to not have any new Perry books to look forward to. I'm not ready to no longer be the Perry Mason cryptid at my local library. I'm not ready to check off yet another thing from my Perry Mason completion list. I'm just not ready.

#perry mason #i know #the best thing about books is you can read them again and again #and i know i will #i've started to build my personal collection of them #and that's great #but it's still the end of an era #it's also crazy to think i'll have read every single word erle stanley gardner ever wrote about perry #i think i'm down to maybe 2 episodes i haven't watched yet that are only available on the dvds #and then there's one of the 1930s movies i haven't seen yet #and of course i think it's impossible to listen to the entirety of the radio show these days #but i'm pretty damn close to having consumed every bit of available perry media #like elaine said #i might be the foremost living expert on perry mason #whoops

I looked at the songs for the new Mean Girls musical movie and.. why did they leave out all the songs that show Cady's feelings or emotional development?? Like... It Roars? More is better? Do this thing?? These are some of my favorite songs!!

Also I saw that they made a new song that probably replaced It Roars but I listened to it and.. it's really not the same (in a negative way)

I also heard the new version of Stupid With Love and I am so sorry, I'm totally fine if they decide to make changes to the songs but this is just. No. Because this version of the song is so not Cady. She is this little weirdo who for the first time falls in love and has such big emotions and doesn't really know how to handle them but also this crush makes her really happy and the new version just smashes that into tiny pieces and glues them back together with a weird rythm and music that is supposed to be slow and romangic but just really doesn't fit with the lyrics at all. Like I'm sorry but you can't say calcu-lust like that. You just can't

Both of these songs on the new album lack the absolute extatic excitedness Cady has for a lot of the musical which are a big part of what makes her a really lovable character in my opinion and they're also just all around very fun songs!! So to take that away and Also take away two other songs that show her inner world just makes me kinda sad :(

#also they cut Both of damian's songs :(((#they were so FUN and especially where do you belong really helps with showing us the new world cady got into #i am especially pissed about more is better #like i Love that song!!!#i really like how it showed us cady's view and why she acts the way she does and also how deep down she does still miss her old home #also i just want to say #i haven't seen the movie yet and i am so excited when i'll finally be able to #because i am very sure that overall it's a great movie #but i still feel like they could have kept at least one of those songs in #and also why the fuck would you ever change stupid with love like That???#mean girls #lea's random thoughts #well anyways #rant over #also edit #i just listened to cautionary tale and it's better than the other two songs i have listened to but #overall i just feel like this song and the other two too lack the Musical aspect of it #they are so downplayed like they are afraid of being too big and colorful and musical-y #i haven't listened to ther other songs yet because i want to keep them for when i do watch the movie so i can't judge that #but so far i feel like the songs are being held back by trying to be more like pop songs instead of you know.. musical songs

the way the new iwtv show is literally just a marriage deconstruction............ they're gonna enter their baby trap arc next episode, and i can't WAIT for them to enter their real divorce era it's going to be so fucking messy and so FUCKING delicious

#why watch 'marriage story' or whatever the fuck when you can watch the exact same narrative with messy toxic gay vampires #like. yes. the baseline story has always been the same.#and while i haven't read the books the movie DOES NOT HAVE the same vibe #it's about how they unequivocally love each other but also realize that they're no good together #and yet still hold onto the life they have together with an anguishing desperation and do everything in their power to try and make it work #while also continuously trying to break free of the toxic cycle that they always find themselves in!!!!!#the movie did not serve that!!!!!!! i'm sorry but it just didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#loustat #louis de pointe du lac #lestat de lioncourt #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv #swearing tw

i still can't fathom how out of all the times ohm pawat has been threatened with a gun on screen... it's the fucking romantic comedy of all things where his character ends up with a gunshot wound

#posting this before double savage airs bc judging by the trailer that might ruin this streak lmao #NO PLS THIS IS SO FUNNY OK #YOU'D THINK HIS CHARACTER WOULD GET SHOT IN SOMETHING LIKE 10 YEARS TICKET OR AN EYE FOR AN EYE #WHICH ARE ALL ABOUT ATTEMPTED (AND SUCCESSFUL) MURDER #BUT NOOO. HE DOESN'T GET SHOT THERE OH NO. IT'S THE ROMANTIC COMEDY WHERE HE GETS SHOT #i really really really hope his character will only be threatened with a gun in double savage and not shot for real bc truly #this is comedy gold #pat got shot #but none of the other characters even though they were in an environment with a higher chance of getting shot #god i will never be over pat getting shot huh #ohm pawat #airenyah plappert #don't take my word for it though bc there are still like 4 things on his filmography that i haven't watched (yet)#though i know for a fact he wasn't shot on vice versa even if i haven't watched it bc i def would have heard about it jkjssfd #there's one thing that i couldn't find but i think that's a ghost story so i assume a gun won't be the reason for a possible injury #i also didn't watch that one chinese movie and i never finished ''beauty boy'' which is about a beauty store??#i can't imagine a character getting shot in a drama about a beauty store #THEN AGAIN PAT DID GET SHOT IN A ROMANTIC COMEDY THOUGH SO WHO KNOWS

Here’s the watchlist for my thesis in case anyone is curious about old-timey german movies that explore ‘deviant’ forms of sexuality and gender.

#a lot of the first two rows are lost #most of the cross dressing movies are comedies so they may not be that progressive #and the last two rows are not german films that still have similar themes #so i have something to measure against #in terms of the handling of actually queer characters #i cant recommend enough #different from the others #michael #and madchen in uniform #i haven't watched salome yet but it's made by oscar wilde's niece and apparently most of the cast and crew is queer #and morocco is iconic for Marlene Dietrich performing a musical number in a tuxedo and kissing a female audience member

not to be all like "its bad to portray bad things in HORROR" becausse...no..lol... but I can't lie the sa scene in reanimator feels so pointlessly thrown in there at the end...

#was talking about this with friends and while I know sam raimi regrets the tree scene at least the first evil dead is played more serious #it's mostly just a matter of preference but I'd rather watch a movie with a more serious sa scene then whatever reanimator had going on #yknow?#I'm not great at reviewing movies upon a first watch hence me not sharing my lame letterboxd much so I don't have a lot to say about it #but I'm still thinking about it kind of abstractly. also it's early morning and i haven't slept yet #I kind of don't have a lot of high expectations for the sequel in regards to this movie and women...#but eh maybe I'm a hypocrite since I've grown to be a big fan of the evil dead franchise #and yeah comparing this to ED since both movies have infamous sa scenes I feel they're comparable. also because i am fixated on ED #no reblogs since people love this movie and i'm not shitting on that

Okay, this is making me jealous of a wooden puppet lol!

https://at.tumblr.com/shockyhorror/176857278287/08rxbtcnothu

Okay, listen baby, this scene is SO WEIRD, like I am not a fan of puppets at all, BUT let's talk about it because OMG.

Mr. Elvis-Fucking-Presley manages to make this whole scene both ADORABLE and SEXY AS HELL. Like I honestly have no idea how he manages it. He's acting against a puppet, for god's sake. The man is so charming and charismatic he can literally seduce a PUPPET. So, yes, it it entirely reasonable to be jealous of said puppet because holy hell and Elvis' powers of seduction are so strong they cross the space-time continuum.

1960 post-Army Elvis is a favorite era of mine (after the '68-'70 era EP, of course), so this is right up my alley. That "come hither" motion and that LOOK he does at the beginning DOES ME IN. Like are you kidding, Mr. Guitar-Fingers??! His finger is moving so. damn. fast. ughhhhhhh and I cannot help where my mind goes with that. Then every little coy smile and look and something about the way he pulls back on the "Then I know that I would cry" line makes me just melt. I don't know what it is about this scene, y'all. Like I don't even like the song!

On a more serious note, I think the scene really highlights his natural abilities as a performer, specifically his comic timing, his overall believability, and having a deep control over that charm and sexuality of his that wasn't necessarily as present or controlled pre-army. Somehow, he's able to take this ridiculous little scene, make it believable and enjoyable, yet still a bit tongue-in-cheek, all whilst being completely self aware and deliberate (without it feeling overt). It's masterful in the strangest of ways, and I love him even more for it!

Also, stuff like this really makes my musical-loving heart wish he had done some actual stage musicals. I feel like he would have really channeled these gifts and gotten so much more satisfaction from a live audience every night. I know Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who wrote the King Creole songs pitched and wanted to write a (good) musical for Elvis, but the Colonel killed it flat. Fucking Colonel Parker.

(I've included the full scene below because of quality, but the song starts around 5:00)
