I love when Peter has these little serious moments ~<3

This particular dialogue hit very close to home for me, so I decided to take a few hours today and do some rough acting practice with it.

The audio clip is from ZombiesRun "The Home Front Ep 12"

wanted to try drawing in ryoko kui's style :)

Peter: It’s beautiful out here.

Tom: And quiet.

Tom: Too quiet.

Jody: We’ve lost someone, haven’t we?

Sometimes I interact with the tiny little Zombies, Run! Fandom and I wonder how some people can view the story the way they do.

Specifically, I keep seeing that Sam and Five are "drifting apart," and I keep seeing lots of attention for Peter. Like, going into Season 6, 7, and 8 (which is the one I'm on now) I kept waiting for something big to happen to suggest that Peter was as impactful to Five as Sam seems to be.

But there just isn't anything. I mean, if you tilt your head and squint, and take everything Simon did or said to Five before dying and coming back as "Peter," and combine that with Peter...you still only have a handful of moments where they even seem close.

Like. Sure. Peter was willing to die for Five several times since coming back, but...he was lowkey willing to die for literally everybody? Because he wanted to heroically sacrifice himself? He had a whole character arc about it?

And it's not like he knows Five better than anyone, either. He has one or two moments where he notices that Five is being asked to do dangerous things even though Five is not indestructible, but that's really it. He doesn't even seem to get more concerned for Five than he does for others; just that one time, in the catacombs or whatever, when he's like "IS FIVE ALL RIGHT?"

And sure, that was sweet, but also, the writers clearly put that line in there so that Colonel Sage could point out that Peter shouldn't sacrifice himself if he really cares about his friends' safety, in general, because he can do more for them alive than dead. It wasn't a line to communicate to us that Peter cares a special way about Five. It was a line to communicate to us that Peter cares about friends, conveniently placed so that Sage could use that to convince him not to sacrifice himself.

Guys, one time should not a strong connection make.

I guess I remember he also said, when Janine was hinting that he was Simon under a different name, that Peter said "I don't want to talk about it in front of Five!" But...again, that's just. Or enough for me to believe that Peter is replacing Sam in estimation.

And speaking of Janine, there is WAY more evidence that Five is getting closer to Janine, if any character. Janine is given much more story focus than Peter, throughout the most recent Seasons. She runs more missions with Five. She's present for moments when Five is given rare character beats, like being visibly distressed at the Glassdoor Monster chasing her or ANNIE playing Five's friends' screams.

Which, is another thing, by the way. When the player is meant to notice that Five is being emotionally traumatized by a demonic A.I., the writers choose to play clips of Simon screaming and dying--sure--but the A.I. also plays those same screams for Janine. And the A.I. spends MORE time replaying Sam's screams and taunting Five with the idea of Sam Yao's mortality.

AND SPEAKING of Sam, the other side of this conversation-coin is the idea that while Five and Peter "get closer" (which I see very little evidence for,) Sam and Five are "drifting apart."

I keep looking for a big falling out, or a difference in the character of Sam Yao's reactions when Five is in danger or has to do something hard or is in an emotional situation, etc. But like...I'm halfway through Season 8 and zip. Zilch. Nada.

There's just as many instances of Sam insisting on helping Five, or appealing to Five, or hinting that he knows Five better than everybody else, or exhibiting special concern for Five, as there have been in any other season. The only thing I could maybe say is that the writers no longer put Sam on every single mission...but that's still not saying much. And all the post-mission email material? It's all still Sam writing to Five. I get maybe one or two letters from other characters, but literally only like, two letters from Peter, at most.

DISPROPORTIONATELY, Sam is still the closest character to Five. No matter how you spin it. And Peter is no closer to Five than Janine, or Jody, or even Veronica.

Now.

I'm not trying to start a shipping war or anything. If you want to say Sam and Five are drifting apart in your specific, in-between-canon-missions headcanon, go right ahead. If you LIKE Peter more than Sam for some reason, go right ahead.

But unless something happens further on in Season 8 or 9 or some extra-mission stuff I haven't unlocked yet, why are you saying they're drifting apart in-canon? Are you just...projecting that on it, because you find Peter more interesting, or because Sam's character has more going on than just "radio guy directing Five and missing his dead girlfriend" in later seasons?

This has been a niche rant that basically nobody but the teeny tiny ZR fandom will bother reading all of, but it felt good to get off my chest. Cuz sometimes, with the self-indulgence/self-insert trends of modern fandom, I think we're losing the ability to understand story. And we just blur the lines between what's actually in the story, and what we like to imagine ABOUT the story.

Peter: I love you.

Janine: I trust you.

Peter: …

Janine: That’s bigger to me than “I love you”.

That one mission where the enemy apparently had run out of bullets.

My Five: Yeah I’m the most cool, collected and badass person in this township. Nothing fazes me or affects me. I never cr-

My first Tumblr post! And it's a story! Inspired by S7, M10 and the note from Peter that follows. Major spoilers up to and through this mission: Blood on the Dance Floor. The one with the rave that goes very very VERY wrong.

CW: drug use.

Chapter one is a short teaser chapter.

Hi! Your gorgeous artwork of your Five and Sam for a Study in Ichor finally motivated me to get the zombies, run! memvership, so i can listen to that au

In the post you said that you got a ton of headcanons for that AU? I'd love to hear some if you want to share ^^

Ohmygosh what a compliment! Thank you so much! I hope you're enjoying listening to the AU!

And luckily for you, I mashed up a bunch of my headcanons into a story called "Ashes of Ambrosia"! It's a mystery romance story following the events of "A Study in Ichor".

You can read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3163977

(But I will warn you that there are major spoilers for "A Study in Ichor" in it. So don't read Ambrosia until you've finished listening to Ichor!)

And if you want to see any of my art based around both stories, you can browse thru the "a study in ichor" tag on my profile. Here's some previews of the art thats in there ^^

Anyway I hope you'll enjoy all my ZR nerdiness! XD

For the ask game: Runner five or Peter from zr

I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to answer!! Tumblr needs to be better at showing me these things

Runner 5

1. Favorite thing about them. The strong sense of justice. Major autism vibes and I respect it!

2. Least favorite thing about them. Uhhh… oh, god, is there anything? Maybe how many times they’ve had to fake their own death

3. Favorite line. “…” (silent protagonist lol)

4. BrOTP. Either Five and Peter or Five and Jody!!

5. ОТР. 5AM. Definitely.

6. NOTP. I don’t mind 5XPeter or 5XTom, they’re just not my thing. Probably 5XMoonchild because that’s just ALL kinds of toxic.

7. Random HC. 5 has select playlists dedicated to the types of day it is gonna be, even the stressful ones.

8. Unpopular Opinion. Uhh… I don’t know I’m still kinda new to the fandom

9. Song I associate with them. lol I know it’s obvious

10. Favorite picture of them (if applicable). N/A

Peter

1. Favorite thing about them. The funny quips! The guy is FULL of them! But I just love this man so much

2. Least favorite thing about them. Uhh… again, not really sure. He’s just so damn likable

3. Favorite line. Oh, GOD, how am I supposed to choose just one?! My favorite at the moment is (in response to the zombies being mummified) “I don’t care if they’re DEEP FRIED, we have to get out of here!”

4. BrOTP. Either Peter and Five or Peter and Sam!

5. ОТР. PETERXJANINE FOR SURE

6. NOTP. Besides the obvious, I’m not really sure.

7. Random HC. Peter still probably has a lot of unresolved religious trauma he needs to work through

8. Unpopular Opinion. Again, kinda new to the fandom

9. Song I associate with them

10. Favorite picture of them (if applicable)
