Nobody's well-adjusted.A blog compiling all the stories of Umbagog from contributors across the Internet.
Beautiful macabre illustrations of anatomy complete with medical dissections. Wonderful reference for our Umbagog zombies’ purposes (also great in general for the aspiring artist).
It’s somewhat upsetting when you realize that your awful, emotionally and physically abusive villain character looks absolutely darling when he’s sleeping.
Stop being cute, dammit! You’re earning your title “The Cat” too well!!
A wee bit of lineart from the next installment of Sweethearts.
likeacrime asked: If you could tell all TV writers (or movie writers or book writers) five things about writing autistic characters, so as to to make them explicitly autistic, not offensive, and actually empowering for autistic viewers, what…
Reblogging as a source of inspiration and a reminder that always ALWAYS when we’re writing characters with disabilities and mental disorders, that their diagnosis is just a piece of their life. It’s not the entirety of their life.
And since many of our members are diagnosed with conditions, I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir in some respects :)
I swear if I have another fucking zombie apocalypse dream where the zombies are not killable and are fucking psychic and I meet completely incompetent people, I am going to flip a fucking table. I wake up extremely stressed from these.
This is why,…Well Umbagog is one of those art/story rp groups on deviantArt, headed by some awesome friends. Basically you are either a survivor or a zombie and you develop said brainchild via a series of challenges to level up.
The aim of the group is to create, explore and make friends.
It is indeed based on the region in and around Umbagog lake in New Hampshire, but the zombie plague stretches aaaaaaaaall the way south, too. Survivors like to run to Canadia because it’s safe where it’s cold or something like that.
JOIN US IT IS FUNTASTIC AND WE HAVE ZOMBIES AND ALSO CRAZY THINGS.
Just… beware of everything.
Flaplings aren’t canon but have one anyway.
NO I DON’T TRUST YOU. I USED TO CAMP NEAR UMBAGOG LAKE NOBODY EVER TOLD ME IT WAS INFESTED WITH ZOMBIES.
WELL YOU CAN STILL GO DO THAT JUST HANG OUT WITH THE GUYS WITH GUNS AND AVOID ANYONE IN A SWAG HAT AND/OR THAT LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU MIGHT BE A STARTER.
Oh and Corpse-Eater. She don’t take kindly to tresspassers.
“NOBODY EVER TOLD ME IT WAS INFESTED WITH ZOMBIES.”
Oh now as a fellow New Hampshire-ite, you should know our great state already is wicked infested with zombies every primary. These zombies just being more explicit ‘bout the brain-eating is all.

SHEOL GTFO WITH YOUR STUPID JUMPING AND YOUR STUPID EYES I AM TAKING NONE OF YOUR SHIT TODAY. ALSO WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY MOLOTOVS YOU TOTALLY TOOK THEM YOU BASTARD.
/totally breaks hiatus for this.
Umbagog? Meet the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.
Beauchene full body. Complete with organs, nerve bundles and muscles. I was in heaven.
Also that nerve man. That was just surreal. And cool.
/runs away again.
As i said in my last post about weaponry during the apocalypse, shotguns deserve their own post so here it is.
it seems as though everything in zombie culture regards the shotgun as the go to weapon of choice for dealing with the bloodthirsty horde, well i….
Blatant example of psychopathy without violence attached. And proof that being a psychopath doesn’t mean you’re a super genius. From the horses’ mouths, neither of the girls who committed this crime understand WHY it’s wrong, or even grasp the necessity of keeping their yaps shut about the crime. From an objective standpoint, a fascinating look into some broken psychology.
So, in the wake of reading this terrifying shit, Postcard and I started chatting, as you do, about the zombie apocalypse. Here are some things Postcard and I enjoy: zombie media, common sense, and YELLING ABOUT STUFF. Thus, for your reading pleasure, please enjoy our simple twenty-step guide to NOT DYING in the unlikely event that a zombie apocalypse ravages humanity:
- IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL APOCALYPTIC SITUATION, ASSUME THAT THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING: running water (this includes toilets); anything that relies on electricity (this includes gas pumps); anything that relies on natural gas lines (this includes gas stoves/central heat); basically, anything that relies on there being a factory of some variety at the other end of thing you want to make do stuff. THAT’S ALL GONNA BREAK. THIS INCLUDES THE INTERNET. Thus, the most important thing to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse is:
- RESEARCH. For as long as you possess the internet, do everything you can to learn as much as possible. Research edible/medicinal plants (or seriously, go into a bookstore and loot your shit a guidebook, they’re not large, they sell little tiny ones, you can put it in your pocket, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE NOT DO THIS). Research, from available information, how the zombies work/which of their senses are functional—for example, if they operate largely by smell, you want to work on smelling not alive. If they operate largely by sight, DON’T LIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT. And speaking of fires…

Though Jack Elder is the only actual author among the NPCs, Corpse-Eater keeps a written journal of her own. It’s not something you’re likely to stumble upon unless she happen to wander into her cabin, but in it you can find everything described here.
It’s rather dry reading though.
I’m going to be checking out a writing group my boyfriend attends next week and I’m hoping to make Corpse-Eater’s journal entries my weekly writing challenge. She’s been the character who, from the beginning, I wished to explore Umbagog with. But my role as director of the project keeps me from engaging as fully as I’d like. Attending a different group and using that to create new work under guidelines NOT set by me will help push me to commit to a writing schedule. It’s something I love doing, but I always work better when I’ve got deadlines hanging over me than not.2nd image:
A short comic based on some of the chats me and CuttlefishDoctors have had about The Cat’s behavior towards Caroline in particular circumstances. GENERALLY he’s happy to leave her to her work (given that her work is what he wants, there’s value in studying how your “species” operates) and enjoys rolling in whatever glory she accumulates as a researcher by ascribing her successes as his own. However being that she’s also female and good-looking (especially for a dead thing) he’s not above pressuring her into other situations.
I’ve added a dissection of the comic within the comic to allow some insight into this behavior and how to approach it. It is not inherently sexual, it’s a power play by an easily bruised ego. Sexuality is often just part of that power play. So typically, to keep him off your back (literally), get talking. The chattier you get him, the more convinced he is of his supremacy and he MAY drop the advances if delayed enough (or if you find an adequate excuse to remove yourself). This is just a maybe though since he is not above forcing a point.
Basically, he’s a slimeball using people as if they were just toys to play with. Play tea party and maybe he’ll let you go.
guess who finally had time to do these asks

remember this? ask box is still open, although i do have a backlog of asks to do.
Oh God, ALL of these. Li you’re my hero, Jer ilu, and Jade is looking at you like you’re on crack, Sheol.
Jer, Jer learn sarcasm. It’ll help clarify some things. See the other two? They know sarcasm. See how happy they are?
Also Li girl, the States collapsed. It’s the zombie apocalypse. You don’t need a green card anymore.
things that would suck:
turning into a ghoul
i figure it’s kind of a ‘gets worse before it gets better’ thing. poor chuck. i’ve been meaning to do this for a while.
he most likely would have been comatose during the first stage, but he’d have been well aware once parts of his started falling off. that would suck UGH.
