Fic: If the World is Ending

[redbrickrose]

Uh, hi!

So I got back from Birmingham yesterday and I checked pieces of my flist and I saw that Merlin fandom is having asinine wank and something happened in bandom too? And Livejournal might be imploding again and while I have opinions on all of that, I found it all too disheartening so I did this instead

1) You know she could.

2) If a vision ever named me LORD GROOVIUS, I would never answer to anything else. Ever.

3) No one dies at the end!

4) I have emphatic feelings about a certain singer and what would actually happen in the zombie apocalypse, regardless of his self-doubt (which he only has because it hasn't happened yet, but when it does? that shit is on).

1) I always believed you! She totally could.

3) That was really the point. The prior drafts all had working titles like "zombie apocalypse, everyone dies" and it just . . . wasn't working for me. This is random and plotless crack, but it's also relatively free of overwrought angst, so I'm calling it a win.

4) yes, yes I do too, but I also think that Gabe WOULD have a zombie survival plan and I share Ashlee's doubts wrt Panic's survival odds. This fic was written with the assumption that Gerard's comments were correct. Of course what bothered me most about that article was the statement that he'd never even *thought* about it. The fact that My Chemical Romance doesn't sit around on their bus discussing their survival plan in the event of the zombie apocalypse fundamentally altered my worldview.

A win indeed.

Oh. Huh. The fact that most people don't sit around discussing their survival plans in the event of zombie apocalypse seriously just occurred to me. I don't know, maybe I'd known it before, but it just hit me on a very real level. I don't know how I feel right now. Worry is part of it, though. Worldview-altering is definitely a large part of it.

Stef, I regularly spend a great deal of my time with people who do not do this. I try to point out how screwed we would be in the event of the zombie apocalypse, but it DOES NO GOOD.

HANNAH I WORRY ABOUT YOU UP THERE IN DC. What if it happens while you're stuck with people who don't plan ahead? We need you alive! Blogging for posterity is a serious job!

I feel pretty prepared for demon army, alien invasion, time-traveling viking invasion, Somalian pirates, vampire attack (I am so embarrassingly prepared for a vampire attack), zombie hordes, the day cats evolve opposable thumbs, the return of the Elder Gods, and robot uprising. I feel that most of my friends are more than or as prepared as I am.

On a much more serious note, it occurs to me that maybe New Orleans is a little obsessed with preparing for the apocalypse. Huh.

[redbrickrose]

I WAS NEVER THAT PREPARED.

I need you people or I'm just screwed.

On a much more serious note, it occurs to me that maybe New Orleans is a little obsessed with preparing for the apocalypse.

Maybe just a little. We have talked about my Theories about the New Orleans metanarrative, haven't we?

[songgirl12]

We have but I just got totally preoccupied when I went "zomg zombie preparedness and new orleans' casual sense of doom? THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCELLENT SONG." It is possible that I am disturbed.

[redbrickrose]

That would be an excellent song. Or book title.
