“Tango…?”

It’s a familiar voice, one Tango recognizes, and he wrenches his gaze away from Thomas only to feel his heart sink.

“Jimmy,” Tango rasps, swallowing past the lump in his throat, the situation rapidly going from bad to worse. “You have to get out of here.”

“You want me to go back to my room?” Jimmy asks, confused, angling a thumb over his shoulder, motioning back the way he came. He takes a step in closer towards him, guileless, eyes on Tango and nowhere else. “What’s up with the alarms? I’ve been waitin’ for someone to come ‘n explain, but it’s been ages already and all the hallways are empty. Has something gone wrong?”

Tango barely hears a word he’s said, too focused on the way Thomas’ head has snapped up, looking in Jimmy’s direction as he steps into the room. He’s no longer whimpering, instead staring at Jimmy like a coiled predator, with a hunger in his eyes that makes Tango’s blood run cold.

“Jimmy, go!” Tango shouts, and maybe it’s the stress in his tone that finally drags Jimmy into awareness. The other man finally begins to take in the scene that lays before him. His eyes widen as they catch sight of the body near Tango’s feet.

“Is that blood…?”

Surprise!! We got inspired to write a short one-off Ranchers POV fic set in the TAMN universe. It's about patient zero and the first victim of the outbreak and is short and sweet and a little sad (a lottle sad???), but I feel like that's what you can expect from this AU us at this point ;)

You can read the whole fic in the link below!

Bad Boys Fae Bakery Part 1

Tango was feeling tired and sluggish and overall terrible. He was far due for some caffeine. After all, it was only 10 AM. He’d been up all night doing redstone, and he couldn’t very well stop when he was on a roll! This seemed like a good time to check out that cafe Etho was always going on about…

What was it he had said again? “It’s a pretty good cafe, but watch out for those baristas! There’s something going on with them, if you know what I mean.”

Tango nodded solemnly at the cheeky vision of Etho that appeared in his brain.

The “Bad Boys Bakery and Cafe” was quite a sight. The sign appeared to be hand-painted. In a rush. By a blindfolded second grader. Respectfully. The inside was warm and inviting, decorated with some nice lanterns. It seemed nice ish. Tango wasn’t really a decorations type of guy. There was an Etho seated in the corner, Tango gave him a wave.

“Welcome to the Bad Boys Bakery! We’re the Bad Boys, and we make a mean cup of coffee, or whatever you fancy!”

The barista at the counter had fluffy blonde hair and big brown puppy dog eyes. He wore a black leather jacket and dark sunglasses — that was certainly a choice, but Tango thought he pulled it off pretty well. He was pretty cute. Maybe that’s what Etho had been talking about, the thing going on with the baristas. Too charming for their own good.

“Hey there! I’d like whatever has the most caffeine, please and thank you.”

The barista— “Jimmy” according to his name tag— laughed and pulled out a cup and a sharpie. “Okay, okay! I’m picking up what you’re putting down. How’s an iced coffee?”

Tango pretended to think for a second, “Hmmm, I suppose! You’re the expert.”

Jimmy gave him a shy smile. Now, maybe it was the 18 hour fugue state talking, but Tango was starting to think this guy was into him.

“You got it, boss! And can I get your name?”

Already on a name basis? Total score! Or not. Maybe that’s just how coffee shops worked. “The name’s Tango!” He paused, winked, and continued, “of the ‘Tek’ variety.”

The barista looked far too ecstatic for someone taking a name for a coffee order. “TangoTek? Is your name TangoTek?!”

Tango laughed. Maybe his sleep-deprived charms were more effective than he’d thought. “You got it, buddy!”

“Oh my god. Yes! Okay! Thank you. Thank you so much, you have no idea. Uh, your coffee will be right out.” The barista practically ran into the back of the cafe shouting, “JOEL, GRIAN!! You aren’t going to believe this, but it WORKED!”

Tango shook his head fondly, and walked over to sit across from Etho.

“Did you see that, dude? That barista was totally into me.”

Etho peeked an eye out from between his fingers— his face had been buried in his hands for some reason. “I dunno Tango, but I think you’ve definitely made his day.” Etho responded, holding back breathy laughter.

“What? What do you mean? Why are you laughing at me, huh?!”

Etho smiled his stupid smug grin that he did when he knows something you don’t. Jerk. “Oh nothing, nothing! You’ve just given me some… interesting data for a theory I’m testing.”

Tango groaned, “Ugh, fine, fine, spare me! ! I can barely understand your wack job social experiments when my brain isn’t spaghetti.”

After a few minutes, Jimmy called his name at the counter.

“There you go! Uh, just a sec though, I have a bit of a request for you Mr. Tan-go-tek, is that okay?” Jimmy seemed nervous. No clue why, though. Also, Tango liked the way he said his name. Made him feel like he’d do anything in the world for this guy he just met.

“For you? Anything. What’s up?”

Jimmy looked at him intently, “when you come back some time, do you think you bring some wheat seeds? I know it’s a bit of weird ask, but it would help me out enormously.”

Tango grinned reassuringly. Wheat seeds. That was easy! He could do that next time he stopped by, no problem. “You got it! A stack of wheat seeds, coming right up.”

He tried to wave at Etho as he left, but Etho was currently shaking from a fit of uncontrollable laughter. What a weirdo. Tango picked up some wheat seeds on the way home.

jimmy kills skizz in front of tango and just says “dont report it youre my rancher’ AND TANGO DOESNT REPORT IT???? and he proceeds to DEFEND JIMMY AND LOSE THE GAME????

tango is always about playing the game and being fair and if you see old vods of him playing among us if someone kills in front of him theres always a little squeal and the imposter has to work so hard to convince him not to report

but for jimmy?

HE JUST COMPROMISED ALL HIS IRL MORALS ABOUT PLAYING GAMES AND BETRAYED HIS TEAM FOR THE LITTLE BLUE GUY IN THE PARTY HAT CAUSE HE SAID PLEASE

Last Life character designs!! Themed around high fantasy and medieval aesthetics :D design notes under the cut!

I took some inspiration (consciously and subconsciously) from things like LOTR, Robin Hood, Game of Thrones (which I haven’t seen but provided a great reference for Etho’s cape), and Merlin (Percival was kinda perfect as a a reference for Skizz’s sleeveless armor)

I have left out some color variations, such as pearl’s brown jacket, skizz’s red hair, and scott’s life variants, mostly to save space and time since they’re almost exactly the same. Terry is also not included for similar reasons (also because bigb already has 3 other distinct designs)

The fairy fort are fae, BEST are knights, Southlanders are meant to be like Robin Hood’s merry men (rogue/ranger peasants for my dnd nerd audience), Scottage are elves and Magic(al?) Mountain are ofc wizards!

here’s everyone together :] 27 designs total!

Anyways here's ranchers cover art
