[birchwoodheart]

Faced with a hostile takeover of Abel, Five and Sam are on the run and injured. They find refuge by the sea— a reclusive settlement called Armistead. They begrudgingly let the two in on a good word from one of their runners, and they quickly find themselves in a veritable paradise. But, there’s more than meets the eye to the self-sufficient residents, with mysteries afoot around every corner. Can Sam and Five convince them to help take back Abel, or will the enigmatic town become their new home? Five just hopes their past doesn’t catch up to them. aka A love letter to my wife, who has not stopped talking about the zombie apocalypse for eight months.

What are songs that remind you of different ZR characters and why?

Okay, Sorry it took me so long! I wanted to choose good ones!

Sam: The Gravedigger and the Nightingale - Everybody's Worried About Owen

I see Sam as the Nightingale because he's always trying to keep Abel and his runners happy.

Specific Line: The gravedigger and the nightingale In symbiotic thrall As he cleans the rotten muck off of his shovel it sings a simple song Oh, why'd they all have to go and leave us? Is hope our cross? But if this is the cross that we have to carry Let's finish the job.

Maxine and Paula: The Scientist - Coldplay

I know it seems like the obvious choice but it's so them circa s2 T^T

Specific Line: I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart

Jody: After Hours - The Velvet Underground

I feel like this how Jody feels about what we learn in s3m21

Specific Line: Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark

Simon: Hole in Your Soul - ABBA

Catholic guilt + literally on his playlist

Specific Line: You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes When it's bad, worse, worst (And when you're feeling so bad) And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad)

Janine: Quicksand - Chase Petra

Vibes

Specific Line: All of it tbh

Sara Myers-Cohen-Yao: Sara Smile - Hall and Oates

I have a headcanon that Five sings this to Sara. They try to keep it a secret but once Sam and the Dr girlfriends find out, they all do it together.

Specific Line: Sara, smile Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara

Nadia Al Hanaki: Falling Behind - Laufey

This just reminds me of her plot with Lem

Specific Line: Touched the ocean, fell right in Stepped outside and burned my skin My life won't go my way

Jack and Eugene: Strawberries and Cigarettes - Troye Sivan

They both just seem like Troye Sivan fans. Not only that but I first got into Zombies Run! around the time that this came out, and started coming into my gender and sexuality. RIP Jack and Eugene, you two would've loved Love, Simon

Specific Line: But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like Blue eyes, black jeans. Lighters and candy, I've been a fool but strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

Five: I have two whole playlists dedicated to my Five! One of them are songs I think they'd like and one that reminds me of them

But right now, if I had to pick one it'd be Mad Dog - The Crane Wives

It's a song about working yourself into the ground and I feel like it perfectly encapsulate Five's need to give, give, and give until they can't anymore.

Specific Line: All of it tbh

Hi! How did your Five get to Abel? What’s her story?

Ok, I don't know if you meant to open this can of worms but you did and now you have to deal with the consequences. I will start with a tldr tho so you don't have to suffer through my Five's entire mary sue backstory, that is extremely loosely based off of Mickey Pearson from The Gentleman (2019). Just a warning, yes I'm aware it's chaotic and absurd but honestly so is ZR.

TLDR: Five made some very bad™ choices, cleaned up their act just in time for the end of the world, and then throws themselves into service to try and atone for what they did.

Long version: Five was born on a hippie commune deep in the rocky mountains of Colorado and coincidentally, their name was literally Five .. Their parents were super hippie dippie and they like "the number's vibrational energy" and they didn't want to choose a last name because they wanted them to choose because they didn't want to assume dad's last name because of the patriarchy or whatever. The commune was pretty much the stereotypical weed growing, Woodstock type and as a kid their chore was typically tending the gardens. Not that they minded. As they grew up, a cult infiltrated their commune and by the time they were a teenager the cult leader and everyone but them... drank the kool-aid so to speak. They ended up emancipating and getting themselves an education where they graduated early and were accepted into Oxford for their graduates.

Once they arrived in England and started attending Oxford the expenses began to become too much for Five and they took they knowledge they learned on the commune to grow and sell weed. One thing lead to another and they started crossing into others' territories. Before they knew it, they had one of the largest international marijuana ring.

Closer to their graduation, they decided that they wanted out of the business and to leave it behind for their original plan of becoming an archivist. They disappeared completely, erasing any evidence of who they were. After their graduation, they were hired as the lead archivist of the British Museum and began work to try and overturn the British Museum Act of 1963. Before anything can really come of it though, the zombie apocalypse happened.

Five left for their safe house that they've had just in case their past caught up with them. Along the way, Mullins picks them up, recognizing them from a list of prioritized survivors. (archivists would be important post-apocalypse right?) From that moment on, they swear to just put their head down and help when possible as penance for being a ruthless kingpin in their former life. Because of this they get chosen for Project Greenshoot and well, you know what happens after that.

Crazy, I know but I've been obsessing and building onto this for literal months lol. I'm so obsessed with my Five and will take any chance to talk about them. Also! here, have my ZR pinterest board!
