I am constantly thinking about food in the zones and going INSANE at the missed opportunities in like 90% of fanfics where they're surviving solely on power pup like. NO. do even five minutes of research I beg you there is SO much food stuff in the desert. I guarantee you no killjoy is eating power pup daily that shit is kept in the cabinet for emergencies and the friendly coyotes that come by every once in a while!! If anything they use it like we use spam.
Realistically killjoys would be out roasting crickets and scorpions and collecting bugs for these super protein rich skillets and catching lizards and snakes and rabbits and birds and rodents and shit! They'd set up traps and go like hunting sometimes. They'd go foraging!! Theres so many edible plants actually cacti is edible! And you can do so much with it!! Theyre gonna be out there grilling it and making soups and salads in shitty old pots and throwing in natural herbs and spices! THEYD TAILGATE!!!! They'd have a shelf dedicated to jars of things you can make tea out of!! At least one member of every crew is practically a five star chef! You can literally make a gourmet meal out of materials found within fifty feet of your home base!
Not to mention there'd definitely be greenhouses scattered around with actual fruits and vegetables and some people would bake bread like even if there isnt power and you dont have like a stove or oven like. its not hard to just make your own. Out of rocks and shit and light a fire under it. And there'd be like a farmers market for all that kind of greenhouse grown stuff.
I just want to see killjoys enjoying zone life and culture and not starving!! Becuase they wouldn't be!! They would not fucking eat the dog food!! The desert provides!!!
It'd be like the Fallout games, where sure, you can eat canned food but it's expensive and there's food everywhere (even if it's a little radioactive)!! Kill a mutant lizard or a wild dog or one of those fucked up cow things!! Eat cacti and those fruits that grown on them!! Cockroaches!!
What's that quote that's like "I don't care if someone's racist in their heart, I care when they have the power to enact racist law" or whatever
SPECIFY WHICH SPECIFIC TYPE OF CREATURE TO THE WIZARD IN THE TAGS BELOW, IF APPLICABLE, OR ELSE HE WILL DECIDE RANDOMLY. YOU GET ONE SHOT AT THIS.
New wacky romance manga: A teenage boy gets locked in a bomb shelter with his crush after a false alarm for a nuclear war. The boy later finds out about the alarm being false but he tells the girl the world ended because she said she'll only ever date him "if he was the last man on Earth".
New disturbing psychological horror manga: A teenage girl gets locked up in a bomb shelter with one of her classmates after the world ends in a nuclear war. Despite her reservations, the two start to get closer. But there's something off about the whole situation. And her classmate is definitely hiding something.
#this is such a concise illustration of narrative framing thanks op
what would you do if that was you?
this is one of the few instances where watching the entire video was worth the punchline at the very end
Some killjoy designs!! Wanted to work on some post apocalyptic designs and these guys were perfect and I might do more dd characters :))

I am BEGGING yall to remember that "gay panic" means "i killed this person because theyre gay so you cant jail me for it" and NOT "UwU too gay to function"
Yall CANNOT reclaim this one please stop trying
THIS ALSO GOES FOR TRANS PANIC.
THIS ALSO GOES FOR TRANS PANIC
THIS ALSO GOES FOR TRANS PANIC
ok then WHAT term do we use for “too gay to function”
you can say that you're "too gay to function" if you so choose
And I would like to point out (for those who didn’t click on the helpful wikipedia link in the OP) that this is not a historical thing. The “gay/trans panic defense” is still in use.
They really wore a shirt that was like "hey I get fucked by old rich vampires btw" and we're just expected to live normal lives
I love the people in the comments of the used's pride shirt drop getting mad like. Are you new here or something. Did you miss Bert's 10 years of boykissing. Did you miss the song with the bridge that's literally just "fuck my ass". Did you miss the binders.
Oh, yes.
A few years ago I went to pick up a woman I met on OKCupid for a date, and a friend of hers was there. They kind of over-explained “Oh, she just showed up to say hi” and there was a vague nervousness in the air that even my autistic ass was picking up on. Her friend was playing conspicuously with her phone. I went “Ah, the safety. Need to get a picture?”
Dead silence for about a second and a half, then the friend took a picture, looked at my date, and said “Have fun” and walked out the door.
(I would ordinarily have been clueless, but I’d just been asked to be the safety the previous night.)
My advice to male-presenting folks: recognize that this not your problem. By which I mean, this sort of security check isn’t a problem for you. It doesn’t hurt you. You aren’t being insulted or disrespected. And if you treat it like what it is– a reasonable adaptation to an unreasonable situation– and just roll with it, your dates will be more comfortable, and you will have a better time as a result.
The same applies to phone calls mid-date. Let them answer the damn phone without drama.
They aren’t accusing you of being a dangerous person. The very fact that they are willing to go on a goddamn date with you means that they have extended a certain level of trust. But the fact remains that there isn’t really a way to distinguish between “a man who isn’t dangerous” and “a man who knows how to behave like he’s not dangerous.”
