he/they | so many fandoms it’d be impossible to keep track

okay a while ago i made a post with this image asking for recs

i’m now returning to make a list for anyone else that shares my slightly niche hyperfixation

so here we are a list of different medias that are about zombies that have queer characters

Movies:

Anna and the Apocalypse (2018)
Shaun of the Dead (2004) (intentionally queer-coded but trust me it’s very explicit)
Housewife Alien vs. Gay Zombie (2017)
ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009)

Tv Shows:

The Walking Dead (2010-2022) (queer rep from season 4 [2013] onward)
In The Flesh (2013-2014)
The Last Of Us (2023-)
Fear The Walking Dead (2015-2023)
The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020-2021)

Books/Comics:

The Walking Dead comics (issue #67 onward)
Wranglestone (by Darren Charlton)
Hell Follows With Us (by Andrew Joseph White) (zombie-adjacent)

Webseries/Webcomics:

Shoot Around (webcomic 2015-2017)

Video Games

The Last Of Us (2013) (only one explicitly queer character who’s only in a small section of the game)
The Last Of Us: Left Behind (2013)
The Last Of Us: Part II (2020)

so basically the world is severely lacking in this type of media but im gonna keep this post as an ongoing account of it all so i’ll keep coming back and editing it and adding more as i find more

what upsets me is that the walking dead is the only one of these that isn’t a) a parody or b) about zombies living as normal people (at the time i made the post)

as usual please leave recommendations if you have any !!

^^^ This. The COMBINED population of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) is only about 2.6 million. That's not small town numbers, sure, but compared to NYC (20.1 million in the metropolitan area)? LA? (12.9 million "")?

Minneapolis is being made an example of because they're the most bitesized target, and if you're doing a shock and awe campaign like this you need to not choke on national tv.

(And they're still having to fight for it. Minneapolis isn't taking this laying down, and more power to them for their courage.)

Just as a side note, ICE raids are currently also happening in Columbus OH- which is double the size of Minneapolis but still much smaller than Chicago or LA.

Ahh Jaysus lads here we go again. No Irish need apply to the Ivies or something.

God forbid a Slav do anything near a land-grant school.

Also this is going to be used in antisemitic ways because of course it is.

A lot of people who thought their whiteness was objective reality are about to learn it’s conditional huh

by the way guys, this deployment of ice to minnesota is largest ever. more agents than chicago. we are a much less dense state. we are being inundated.

It is the largest Department of Homeland Security operation in history. And yet Minnesota’s Somali population (this operation’s primary target) is upwards of 90% naturalized American citizens. It’s even more of a manufactured crisis than most DHS operations. Genuinely living in Minnesota now feels like we’re a small country on the brink of invasion.

I saw two ICE trucks yesterday on my way to give my friends back their house keys from when I was looking after their cats. I got home today and I heard whistles and honking from people chasing ICE, but by the time I got Matilda in the house they were gone so I couldn't join in the chase. I know there was a major attempt to steal my neighbors from just a few blocks away this morning while I was at work.

It doesn't feel like we're on the brink of invasion. It feels like we're being newly occupied by an invading force. Except that the invading force doesn't just want our total submission; they also want to rip half our neighbors out of our arms. They came for Hmong Minnesotans next, and they are also more than 90% citizens. We have a lot of minority populations who settled here because Minnesota prides itself on welcoming refugees; both populations have been here for more than thirty years.

Fuck this shit. It is terrorism.

Not just feels like, is. Feels like because is.

And for all the rest of us US occupants not in Minnesota, it's coming to us, too. Ohio is getting door-to-door ICE today, for instance, and I've seen multiple friends in other states posting photos of big ol' trucks, beds packed with ICE vehicles, rolling in to town.

We're still not quite two weeks into 2026. Get ready to plant your feet.
