forgot to mention: there was actually two drafts of the first chapter, one that actually takes place in the normal universe and the one I ended up going with. the original first chapter was just titled 'Troy and Abed smoke the forever weed' and was supposed to just be about them surviving the zombie apocalypse while high on zombie weed, no social commentary, no nothing. kind of glad I didn't stick with it but also thinking about finishing it in a few thousand words because it's a silly concept

now I can talk about all the stuff I cut out/didn't get to touch on lol

spoilers under the cut

the cats were supposed to die in the house fire but I got too attached and let them live

annie and annie kim are canonically together in this universe, but they both die infected not long after they get separated from Abed

jeff and britta both met at greendale, actually in this canon the only ones that don't go to greendale are both Abed and Troy, so the study group never forms. yes, everything is because they couldn't afford to go to community college

this entire story was based on not only my first ever fanfic (home economics) but also on a weird wip I started last year based on the movie midnight cowboy. after sending the first few pages to my creative writing teacher for constructive feedback i got embarrassed and scrapped the whole thing. elements of this story i'm still using in another original work called 'millepig,' which I might or might not ever get around to really writing

picperf actually was supposed to be more of a commentary on abortion access but after writing the first chapter and realizing I had set up something that would fall more into a commentary on the nuclear family/how it is not and has never been possible, I just stuck with it instead of rewriting and, like I said, made a different outline for a different story that is actually a lot more personal

speaking of the commentary: if this had been a fully fleshed out book, I would've touched on the state of the united states and the economy and the concept of poverty a lot more but since it's a fanfiction and a first draft I wanted to get down all of the romantic stuff first, I will focus more on the actual legs of this story if I ever decide to revisit/finish it, honestly the romance is more of a back-seat thing in the grand scheme of things. first drafts are always terrible

i debated whether or not to really make them develop a romantic relationship for a while and which would work better for what i'm trying to say. it got to a point where I just said 'okay, it has to happen NOW or there won't be time for it to happen until the finale in the field'

if I had killed off the cats when I was supposed to, there would've been a scene where they find an uninfected baby in a dumpster (and the remains of shirley), who would then take the place of the cats. this was how it was SUPPOSED to end up, but, again, I got attached to the cats and realized they would serve the same narrative function if not better so no human baby

there were so many scenes where I wrote them kissing and then decided it was " too much too fast " ex: the weird desk scene, the hammer/hand scene

additionally, the car sex was supposed to happen at the very end of pt 2, right after they kiss for the first time and was originally much more graphic, but there was a two-line exchange that I dare not repeat that felt so embarrassing to think about people knowing I wrote that I scrapped the entire thing and only kept the part after the sex. if I kept it I would've moved the rating up to E.

in some summaries i toyed with, they actually did make it across the border but died not long after. they were always going to die in the end, if they didn't, the story wouldn't work

time to switch gears

this is two drafts of the same project which I first came up with when I was 13. it's been years since I even looked at it, it's shitty, it doesn't have an ending and nearly all of it is filler — but I still have a lot of love for the concept and think I might pick it up again. of course since it's been in the works for like five years i'll have to start at the beginning again, and I spent like two years respectively on each draft, it's probably going to take me a while to make it.

the reason I am making this is to pressure myself into finishing it lmao. so, as part of NaNoWriMo i'm saying FUCK IT and finishing this fucking monster. it'll take me a while, i'll probably give up on it, but I am going to PUBLICALLY FORCE MYSELF TO DECLARE THAT IT EXISTS SO I AM MORE MOTIVATED

hopefully it works

picture perfect has been completed!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/54146989/chapters/160759090

here's the epilogue. im sorry lol and thank you!! there are no words for how proud I am of this work. I might turn it into an original, more fleshed-out novel if I have the chance, but for the time being, thank you to everyone. I can't say it enough. I might talk more about what this work means to me but for now i'll leave it up to interpretation, I think it's probably pretty clear though lol. I hope the inclusion of hello dolly's 'it only takes a moment' makes sense as well!!

so i've decided that to help me with making this fic that's taking me a while i'm gonna publish what is written and then update it as I write it instead of doing the whole thing and then publishing it in one go. anyway,

PICTURE PERFECT (photography 101)

it's about zombies. it's basically if you take the way they make zombies in epidemiology and made it take over the entire US and also made Dairy Queen the president (i'm not even joking) and some of the HARDEST lines i've ever written are in this first chapter already. it IS trobed and don't get me wrong that's very important but there's another glaring important detail

yeah. yeah but don't worry too much. worry a lot. we'll get to her when it's time.

I want to say this is darker than anything i've ever written for Trobed and it will be a RIDE. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I do torturing my readers and myself

Idk why the link isn't working but here is the third to last chapter, entitled SAFE. the original draft was very different, but I think i've come up with a better version. enjoy

[bingsucks]

fuck it no time to explain picture perfect is DONE and i'll be releasing the last 3 chapters as i finish editing them. probably today. maybe tomorrow in the morning. i've been waiting to release this playlist for like a month, there's a version of it on spotify with a bunch more songs but the youtube version has songs that aren't even on spotify and follows the narrative of it. also fuck spotify. enjoy. try not to think too hard about what the songs mean yet

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless

Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.

2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.

3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.

4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.

5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up. 

6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.

PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.

usamericans, do you remember in the incredibles when syndrome made the robot go haywire just so he could swoop in and 'save the day'
