@happyfoxx-art told me that the best way to improve art is to draw comics and so I am giving it a shot!
Inspiration is me realizing my Five has been in the UK for a very long time despite not being British.
She's not opposed to being British, it's just a surprise.

Part two of this post bc I have more things to say but I cannot bc it’s about Peter. Spoilers up to s9
TW for talk of suicide ideation and self bc,, well, it’s Peter
So I mentioned in my last post how Simon didn’t deserve to face such harsh consequences for what he’s done. Well, Peter definitely shouldn’t. He faced enough consequences for what he did when he was Simon. He’s a whole different person, he’s changed. So why does he still have to pay the price for what he did, for something he’s already more than made up for?
He sacrifices himself repeatedly for team Abel, and nobody ever bats an eye. Yes, he’s immortal, but he still feels pain. He’s constantly putting himself in harm’s way, doing dangerous things. Because he “sacrificed” his friends for immortality, now he feels he has to use said immortality to keep them safe. Not exactly bad in and of itself, but his self worth is so low, it’s almost as if he feels he deserves to suffer because of what he did so long ago. He still doesn’t feel like he’s forgiven
So he lets himself get hurt all the time, and nobody else seems to mind. Important to note, his mental health is terrible. It’s not something he tries to hide, he’s very blatant and clear about it, but team Abel chooses not to address it despite how clear it is. Probably because he’s immortal, so they don’t care one way or another since he’s not going anywhere. Which is absolute bullshit because it doesn’t matter if he’s immortal if he’s hurting. We see constantly how he says concerning things that make his declining mental health super obvious
In s7m10, he talks about taking drugs at a rave to make you feel like you belong and like that’s where you’re meant to be, calls Sam lucky when he says he doesn’t need drugs to feel that way. Implying that Peter doesn’t feel like he belongs. Like he needs drugs to feel something. His state of being gets overlooked constantly. Not a single person made a comment about it
s7m21, we find out he can infect zombies with immortality (I have issues with this also but again, another rant for another day). Peter offers to jump into the lava. He’s definitely serious about it, but nobody really takes it seriously, it’s just another thing that’s brushed off and swept under the rug
s7m23, he literally tries to kill himself. This is the one and only time his mental health is ever “addressed”, and what made it worse is that someone who can arguably be seen as a villain was the one who talked him out of it. Team Abel couldn’t do it, it was Sage who was able to do it. Peter was talking about how he’s a liability, how the only thing he was good for was being an immortal runner. He doesn’t think he’s worth anything if he’s not helping. He can’t just be, he has to be doing something, sacrificing himself in some way, and if he can’t do that, then he’s useless to Abel. He thinks he deserves this. And again, nobody from team Abel is able to talk him out of it. None of his friends could say anything to make him stop. It was Sage, who barely knew him. It never gets addressed again after this
s7m39, Peter literally tries to do it again, asking why nobody can just let him die a hero. And again, it’s Sage who realizes what he’s doing and saves him. Nobody else cares that he was trying to sacrifice himself again. It’s never brushed on again after that, just swept under the rug again
In s8, the radio modes. Maxine casually mentions how Peter regularly disembowls himself and to not worry about finding stray organs and intestines around the township. The fact that Peter is even doing anything like that and it’s treated as nothing is beyond disgusting. Immortal or not, that level of self harm would warrant immediate attention, and he clearly isn’t getting treated the way he needs. He’s suicidal and purposely inflicts pain onto himself, and none of his “friends” even give a shit. Plus he offered himself up to get stabbed multiple times and nobody was very concerned about that
s9m4, we learn he’s had a burn cube put inside of him. It’s been probably around four months since the end of s7 by then, which means at some point between s8 and s9 starting, Peter, who is suicidal, was given the means to kill himself. He didn’t want to be a liability, and everyone basically said that he was such a big liability that they were gonna put a burn cube in him so he could kill himself if a zombie bites him
Not only that, but in s9m19 we find out that it was literally Janine who approved it. Janine, who’s supposed to be his friend and partner. Who’s supposed to love him. That isn’t fucking love. And the fact that nobody else who’s supposedly his friend is just fine with that like Peter isn’t a danger to himself. If team Abel really cared about him, they never would’ve even considered putting a burn cube inside of him. There’s a lot they would’ve done different if they actually cared about him
And then he gets abandoned. The whole “it’s necessary” thing is bullshit, Peter is biased and hates himself and thinks he deserves it. Peter won’t argue with sacrificing himself or hurting himself, and team Abel, ESPECIALLY Janine, shouldn’t be so agreeable when it comes to that. He has issues he needs to work on, yes, but it’s hard and damn near impossible to do that level of mental recovery and healing without a good support system and considering how his supposed friends treat him, he doesn’t have one of those. He’s on his own, mental health still terrible, still sacrificing himself because he thinks he deserves it. The only thing he’s got going for him is being useful to the people he considers his friends and because it’s all they seem to want him for. They treat him as a tool that can be used and discarded when he’s an actual person with real feelings and emotions
He puts himself through so much to protect the people he loves and the feeling is absolutely not mutual. He’s treated like shit by everyone and just takes it because he thinks it’s what he deserves. He’s in a toxic relationship, and everyone else around him who he considers friends brush off his feelings. He’s always there trying to help other people, dealing with their feelings, defending Five when everyone forgets they’re not immortal like he is, but nobody is ever there for him like that. His feelings are cast aside, never addressed. His declining mental health and self mutilation is literally treated as a joke and it’s not funny, it’s sad and horrifying and what makes it worse is that nobody who claims to care about him actually gives a shit, the narrative makes that abundantly clear
Anyway, tldr; Peter is treated like shit by everyone and deserves so so much better and deserves to just move on and heal and find people who actually give a shit about him and his terrible mental health. He doesn’t need to make up for anything else, he doesn’t need to sacrifice himself to feel needed or wanted. He never did. Literally it’s only him who’s ever really had to face the consequences of his actions when other characters have done so much worse. Please for the love of god just let my boy vibe

Five to Colonel Sage: If your friend is sarcastic, has a problem with self loathing, is incredibly good looking and is immortal, he’s not your friend.
Five, tearing up: He’s my friend please give him back

Sparklers
Here's my entry @zombiesmake round 1, 25/06/21! Thanks as ever to @puptart and @crownleys!
[EDIT] Based on prompt 3 - a ThoughtCo article on Chemical Elements of Fireworks (I also used the WikiHow article 3 Ways to Make Fireworks for research and got mixed up).
Gentle Tom/Steve, which is such a rarepair I didn’t know I was writing it until Tom just. Showed up. Unexpectedly. He’s here now, I guess!
Set post S7M7 with spoilers for that mission!
He’d asked her for permission like a sixteen-year-old with a prom date, sat in her office still smelling of chemicals, the hair on his arms standing up on one end. Janine had stared him down until he looked away, her eyes piercing his flesh, her knuckles white on the desk. “If you do a single thing to hurt him, Mr Sissay, have not a shadow of a doubt, I will shoot you in the head.”
“Understood, ma’am,” Steve replied, fighting the urge to salute as he squirmed in his chair.
“Please, don’t take this personally. I have had the same conversation with Miss Marsh. Now, if you must, go and get on with it.”
So, all in all, that could have gone worse.
Steve’s father was the one who taught him all about making fireworks. On icy November evenings they would sit around the bonfire, the face of the straw-stuffed Guy melting away, and he’d watch the man’s callused, animated hands gesturing, made shadowy with flame.
“Now, it’s a more precise science than you might expect. There are an awful lot of ways this can go very, very wrong if you aren’t careful.”
The sparkler they’d made in the workshop a few days earlier spit and sputtered and spat in the boy’s grip. Three hundred grams of potassium chlorate. Sixty grams of aluminium shavings. Two grams of charcoal. “Sticking to the recipe is vital, just like your mother when she’s baking. Get it wrong, and it won’t rise off the ground. Get it wrong, and there’s too much smoke. Get it wrong enough –“ and here he chuckled – “and you burn your face off like Fawkes there.”
“John, stop scaring the boy!” His mother had admonished, then, and ushered him into the kitchen to refill the guests’ wine glasses. His father, the kind of upper-middle-class man with enough free time and money on his hands to have wildly dangerous hobbies. Steve’s mother often complained that he couldn’t have picked golf or shooting or hunting. Well, before he disappeared, and left nothing but smears of coal ash in his midst, and she had plenty worse things to complain about. He can’t remember much of the man now apart from those hands, which he sees whenever he looks at his own, warming them over a campfire.
In the present, it’s only seven PM, but it’s already growing dark. Tom is lying back in the crunchy fallen leaves, wearing Steve's favourite jumper, staring at the sky and not saying a word. It’s so rare to get the man this quiet and still and happy that Steve enjoys it while it lasts. He seems so much happier and healthier now than the wild, filthy wretch he’d been years earlier, wandering through the wasteland and baying for his sister’s blood. His eyes are clear, his skin clean and healed and soft, his face clean-shaven and ruggedly handsome. Steve finds himself staring, and tears his eyes away from a de Luca for the second time that day.
He’d planned out about a thousand ways to make this romantic – grand gestures have always been his thing, even though they never worked too well on Kefilwe. But even he knew that it would be a bad idea for Tom, who had required an itemised itinerary of what they would be doing before he even agreed to going on a date. Picnic in the forest. Share a bottle of wine. Talk about... whatever this is. Home again before the gates close for the night. It’s hard to accept that these quiet, little things might possibly be enough to show the depth of his feeling. Truth is, he’d shatter the sky into shards of multicolour glitter for the man if he could.
“Kefilwe was speaking to me today,” Tom says suddenly. His eyes are closed, now. He’s almost talking to no-one. “At the trial.”
Steve winces. He wants to ask a thousand questions. What did she tell you about me? What was she whispering in your ear? Has she told you everything she knows I’ve done? He wishes they didn’t come to him, that his first thoughts weren’t riddled with fear and guilt and shame, but he can’t help it.
“Oh?” he manages, and rummages in the bag for the drink, the matchbox at the bottom, a small tupperware case which rattles in his hands.
“She… I was glad she did, actually. She… you know, I’ve done so many terrible things,” Tom says. “Even… before. Back when I was fine. I hurt so many people. Tore apart so many families. And I just keep wondering and wondering what it was for, over and over...”
“There are people – people like us – who have to do those things to make the world spin,” Steve replies lamely. He didn’t want to have this conversation, not tonight. He’d hoped that for one night he could avoid being confronted with the reality of his sin, avoid his crimes being thrust in his face. Hasn’t he gone through enough? God knows Tom has. Haven’t they both done their penance?
“Do you really believe that?”
The lack of light pollution means there are so many more stars now than there ever used to be, even if they’re shrouded with clouds tonight. Perhaps, now the war is over, there’s no more need for fireworks. Perhaps there’s no more need for someone like him.
“Here,” he nudges Tom, who opens his eyes and sees the box of sparklers. “Want to set these alight?”
Tom props himself up on one elbow, and the side of his face not too numb with scarring to move creases into a wry smile. “Commemorating gunpowder, treason and plot, eh? Haven’t we had enough of that for a lifetime?”
“Here’s to that ending. To peace, I suppose, whatever that entails for people like us.” Steve strikes a match for both of them, and watches the sparks reflecting in the other man’s soft grey eyes. “To new beginnings.”
“Now we’ll make our own stars,” Tom says, gazing at the light. “Carve our own paths. It’s about time both of us tried that.”

explaining how each zr villain misgenders me after i jokingly went to rate zr villains based on how likely they were ro misgender me but then i realised that they pretty much all would. i will also include some ppl who are like minor villains or get redeemed and shit? idk its my list i make the rules
spoilers for like up to s8
van ark: would say "well biologically" and be really pretensious about his transphobia
simon: would not misgender me because hes my friend and also trans. is slightly obnoxious about validating my gender but in a fun way
amelia: misgendered me because she didnt know, blustered when she was corrected, was rude and i thought she was gonna be a real asshole about it but then the next time it she used pronouns she used the correct ones. if i tried to thank her for making the effort shed deny any knowledge of the entire subject
moonchild: technically doesnt misgender me and talks a big game about respecting my gender but lets it slip during while drunk/high that she considers me a quirky woman and subtly tries to pressure me into shaving my beard and growing my hair
sigrid: uses all the right words and pronouns but will absolutely call me a slur during a heated argument and misgender me when shes about to kill me but only if theres no one around who would call her out on it.
ian: perpetually looks like hes sucking on a lemon because sigrid told him hes not allowed to be publicly transphobic because its bad optics. doesn't misgender me to my face either because hes (correctly) scared ill beat him up. misgendered me as hard as he could for the brief period when he had me chained up in private. called me a biological female in his shitty documentary
brain moonchild: never misgenders me and is chiller about it, more focused on trying to gaslight me about mindcontrol. only mentions that id make a really hot woman one time in the context of it being a shame im not.
annie: does not misgender me because she has my pronouns on file and it never occurs to her to consider me anything else
the glass protocol: never misgenders me due to nonbinary solidarity
the last riders: actively tried to be as offensive as possible but theyre such fucking losers im not even mad
colonel sage (my most hated enemy): never misgenders me but asks a lot of annoying questions and is uncomfortably interested in my Trans Experience. not in a creepy way or anything. just annoying
shona: generally cool but did call me a scared little girl to try and taunt me while she was trying to hunt me in the tunnels. only misgenders me for the purpose of being the worst

(possible spoilers for s7m10)
i don’t draw peter enough, so this note gave me the perfect inspiration for a messy doodle. oz wanted to be a dual-wielding bastard and assumed the role of darth maul
and yes, of course they made the “vwoom vwoom” noises when they swished the glowsticks around

peter says that he’s gained ownership of runner seven’s dog, bonnie, in s5m37 so now i’m just thinking about peter not being able to bring the dog with him to sage’s settlement in s7. she technically became abel communal property but practically she's janine's; bonnie bounds after her during the days and sleeps in her bed at night. janine pretends to hate it, but she absolutely has taken to sneaking bonnie scraps in the mess and everyone knows

I waited a bit too long with that run, it was pretty hot already 😥. Walked a bit more than I wanted to. Still okay overall, though.
Spoilers for Zombies, Run! S7 M5: Avoid that mission if you have arachnophobia 😣. I don't, and even I had a hard time with it.

po·tion
/ˈpōSH(ə)n/
noun
a liquid with healing, magical, or poisonous properties.
So I’ve wanted to do one of @iamrunner5‘s Drawolleen prompts for a while now, but I’d yet to have time/inspiration until today -- with “potions”! Though I really wanted a chance to draw some of the more memorable... ‘potions’ from within ZR itself.
