In the Flesh, Kieren/Simon (DOES ANYONE ELSE WATCH THIS SHOW? JESUS)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1719233

I love In the Flesh! I still need to see the second season though. Thanks for the rec! I'll definitely read it when I find out who Simon is

Edited 2014-06-26 02:45 (UTC)

Ooo, god, I marathoned the entire thing a little over a week ago and now it's killing me to not be able to talk about it with anyone. The second season just wrapped up, so now would usually be the time when we would start getting secrets but...I never see anyone mention it so IDK if it'll happen. People need to watch it, it's brilliant!

(I'm glad you like it, too!)

It really is! I usually avoid zombie shows and the like, but I thought the show put an interesting spin on it. I'm surprised it's not more well known since it seems like it has all the makings of something that at least would be tumblr popular if nothing else (zombies, interesting female characters, gay protag who is adorable and etc.). But alas...

I thought the same thing. This show should be everywhere on tumblr. Fandom should be eating this shit up.

And even beyond those things, it's just a beautifully written and made show. It isn't just a cool premise, they do an outstanding job with the execution of it. It's high quality! More people should know about it.

Maybe BBC didn't advertise it enough? I had never heard of it before a couple weeks ago.

Maybe BBC didn't advertise it enough? I had never heard of it before a couple weeks ago.

That's a good point. I watched the show about a year ago when a friend recommended it, but I didn't even know there was a second season until today

Ooo, wow, yea...that's not great BBC. I'm going to be incredibly bitter if this show doesn't get a third series after them doing next to no advertising. :(

I really, really enjoyed the first series of In The Flesh, I just need to get off my butt and actually watch the second. But yessss it is amazing, and sad, and amazing, and sad.

Ooo, is it you who's been liking and reblogging my In the Flesh posts on tumblr? I thought as much but wasn't sure. I have such a difficult time remembering who's who on tumblr.

You should watch it! Though now I feel bad because I bet I've spoiled everything for you...

It's twice as long as the first series, and almost as sad tbh. Rick though...jesus christ, I wasn't expecting that and I don't think anything that happened in series two shocked me in the same way. Still, it's a FANTASTIC series, and I love it so much. I watched the entire thing twice in a little over a week.

Yup! I saw you posting them and I was like sweeeeeeet, because I had no idea if there even was anything on tumblr for this show(but there is so yay!).

Nah I don't think I've been spoiled that much so you're good.

Yeah I saw it advertised on TV over here and I was like 'cool three more episodes, wait why hasn't it finished yet?' and then I found out that there were six episodes for series 2 and that made me happy. Riiick, Riiick and Kieran, they broke my heart last season, broke it to tiny pieces(and from what I can tell in series 2 I'm going to have my heart broken again). I'ma put some time in to catch up on it because I really did love the first series(and then I can like flail at people over it online).

Tumblr is where I found out about it! I was like, "Who are these hot guys?" and two seconds later I noticed the eyes and went, "Wait a minute...gay zombies?" And of course this show is SO much more than gay zombies (it frankly amazes me all the real world topics this show touches on, and in a very delicate and respectful manner as well), but that was the first thing I saw about it, haha.

I hope not! You can tumblr savior 'In the flesh spoilers' if you want and that should block them until you watch the series! It's too good to spoil.

Six episodes works so well for it. The three did too, but more In the Flesh can't be a bad thing, right? Especially since all the episodes are just as good. And heartbreaking. Still heartbreaking. Thanks for that, BBC.

I don't think I've cried so hard at anything in the past year (media wise, anyway) as I did with Rick. It floored me. I've seen a lot of cruel stuff in my time, but something about the way it happened...it almost took the cake, you know? Ugh. Poor Kieran...that boy can't catch a break. (We find ourselves saying this a lot, don't we? *cough*DerekHale*cough*)

Do! Catch up! Then come talk to me about it, because I have no one to speak about it with. It is tearing me up inside, lol.

I randomly caught it on BBC 3 one evening and then went to find it on the I-player because I was so taken with it, even from catching it halfway through an episode. Next thing I knew I had watched all 3 episodes. So I am super happy that it got another season, it deserved it. 'Cause I caught it in a crack handed way I was sort of going 'wait is the main character gay?' But kind of didn't want to hope at the same time, and then I watched it properly and he was!and I was just, idk stupidly happy about that?(and as you've said this show is about so much more than than Kieran being gay and I love it for that).

Ha I probably should before I catch up you are correct. Aye I thought the story was nicely condensed in three episodes last season but I am quite frankly not going to scoff attire of this TV show. Gimme it alllllll.

The BBC is here to fill your life with nothing but pain, it's how we Brits roll.

Oh god everything with Rick was just so painful, I actually said 'NO' really loud at the culmination to his story because I just did not want to accept it. Like why can't the characters I like get nice things? Why elaminator? :(

(Kieran deserves all the nice things. All of them.)

Well I certainly can't have you alone in your love for this show, I must catch up as soon as! Then we cry at each other.( we do this a lot...)

Eee, I'm so glad someone else in fs has watched it. Hopefully even more people will pick it up and it'll get a third season because it deserves it. (Granted, I am KIND OF worried about a third season because if there's a third season Kieren's life will be even worse and fuck no he doesn't need that, but...it's so good!

Most shows couldn't pull off three (or six, for that matter) episode seasons (or, well, series). Not sure how this show manages it so well.

The BBC is here to fill your life with nothing but pain, it's how we Brits roll.

NGL, it's starting to feel that way.

Rick didn't deserve his fate. Just thinking about Bill makes me want to punch something. Also weep. Punch something while weeping, basically. (The fact that so much of this show can be seen as a thinly veiled gay metaphor made it even worse. Especially given their relationship.) The only explanation for any of this is that we like pain.

Then we cry at each other.( we do this a lot...)

That we do... It's so satisfying, isn't it?

I saw the first season aaaages ago and went looking for anything, fanworks, discussion and came up short so it was very much 'well I guess I'll just sit here alone with my feelings' so I am so, so glad that it's getting more attention, because I need other people to wallow in misery with me.

(Oh man I knoooooow, like I am so happy to have more but man Kieran's life sucks as it is, and all this means is that he'll be given even more pain but dammit I can't stop watching.)

Yeah I was surprised at how well the first season was paced, like it wasn't long but it didn't feel like anything was missing yanno? Which is hard to manage, so I am looking forward to watching six episodes this time.

Oh god I was so mad at Rick's fate, so mad(not at the TV show though because it was done brilliantly, but mad at Bill). Like his own son? I just, I really didn't want to believe it, for like ages after I saw that part I was like 'nope he's sleeping, he's just sleeping' because argh, it sucked.

I want to punch something while weeping, yup that is the perfect description for what this show causes in me.

I'm so glad I have you to vomit my feelings over TV show/movies with because otherwise I would be bereft.

At least there's a fandom now! It might be small, not sure about the scope, but there's certainly folk around and a fair share of gifs.

(Thankfully things look up a little for him by the end of the series. But holy shit does he go through hell to get there and things are still depressing. Poor Kieren. He's becoming a tough cookie, though.)

I have very rarely hated a character as much as Bill. I just couldn't process that someone could be so damn evil as to do that to their own child. It fucked with my head and heart. Rick deserved better. So did Kieren. God, Kieren's face when he walked home and saw him outside the garage... I assumed Bill would do something terrible, but to leave his dead son at Kieren's house like some kind of fucked up present after basically giving said son hope that he might finally be trying to understand him... That's just wrong.

We would both be, bb.

Yeah I've noticed that there is a fandom, even if it's teeny(I don't mind, any size is good tbh).

(Elaaaaaaamminatooooooor...I'm on the second episode of season 2 and I already want to stab myself in the face with a spoon. Like fuck man. Fucking hell. It's not just Kieren's life either, I feel so sorry for Jem, I want to wrap her up in a blanket and just hug her. Also I kind of forever love Kieren's parents, they are gigantic goofballs. And Ammmmmyyyy, my undead ball of sunshine! Also I wasn't sure what to make of Simon but damn son, damn. ~~He has a sexy voice, fuck me~~. Um yes, there are many things I am liking, and I can't wait to see how it all culminates.)

I feel you, I feel you so hard. Like it was so horrifically brutal what he did, he hugs his son and I think 'yay he's learning' and then when Kieren finds him at his house I just, no. NOPE. I fucking cheered when Ken shot him, cheered I tell you, and I would cheer again.

Oh god, if you're only on the second episode just you wait. You've seen nothing yet. This pain doesn't even register on the richter scale.

I don't want to say too much and spoil you, but I liked Jem's story in series two a lot. There were things about her that frustrated me, but she was treated extremely realistic and the show explored PTSD beautifully. Kieren's parents are the best, though, again, I don't want to say too much... there's a moment in the finale (you'll know when you get there) that killed me. Ugh. Amy is so damn funny and lovable; I swear she gets funnier and more lovable with every episode, it's insane. She's perfect. And Simon...I am kind of in love with Simon despite everything. Isn't he gorgeous? (The first time I saw him I was so confused as to how a zombie could be so stupidly attractive. He does have a nice voice!) He's weirdly charismatic even when he's totally wrong. I grew extremely attached to him. And his relationship with Kieren is kind of amazing and...different, haha.

I was too traumatized to cheer, but the second time I watched the episode I fist pumped through my tears. Bill deserved it (and so much more, tbh). It was particularly sweet that Ken was the person to off him, considering the unspeakable way he killed Ken's wife. :( That broke me too.

Haha, oh man I know, like I'm sitting here thinking 'this already hurts and I know British TV, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE' it's going to be fun.

I was pretty fond of Jem in season one, and I love her and Kieren's relationship it's sweet, so I'm liking how they're dealing with her issues. They really are, I love them, adorable middle-aged goofs. Yeah Amy is wonderful and I always loved how outspoken and bold she is. I'd only seen stills of him before so I wasn't sure what to make of him but hearing him speak and interact with others is like... fucking hell why am I finding an undead dude strangely attractive(but then Kieren is a fucking cutie with make-up or au natural so idk brain, you're fucked).

I was sort of cheering and making upset noises at the same time, it was a weird combination. Yeah it was really fitting that Ken was the one to do it, what they did to his wife was awful(and seeing him after just sitting in his chair staring listlessly at everything was so sad).

SO MUCH FUN.

I really love Jem and Kieren's relationship...when she isn't treating him like crap, lol. And I get that she's been through some impossible things and couldn't cope so she doesn't always handle situations the best, including interactions with her brother, but it does hurt sometimes. Oh, show... Oh, Jem. She'll get better, though.

Amy has very little fear! Or, well, more accurately hides her fear behind a bold front. Still, I find her cheer and bravery admirable. And she's so sweet and forgives so easily...I love that about her. She's got a huge heart.

Haha, yea. Simon is more hot imo and Kieren is just pretty as hell. They're both extremely good looking in different ways. I actually think they both look better without make-up though, so...uh...IDK what that says about me. Something odd, I guess. What can you even do? There is no use denying the undead attraction. (Did you see Simon without his shirt yet? I forget what episode that's in. God, I'm not sure I've ever been so disgusted with myself for being turned on...considering things.)

;_; Ken. I can't believe what they did to him in opener, too. Espeically after he was trying to be a good human being and stand up for PDS sufferers, and then he gets killed by a group of them. That's life, but fuck is it cruel. What a startling way to begin the season.

:D D:

Oh yeah she's not exactly handling it healthily imo(and from what I've seen so far), like she's doing her best but it's very muddled and I do hope she finds someone who can help her.

Oh yes, she has a brave front and acts like she doesn't give a shit but we know she does, it's endearing.

I haven't seen Simon with make-up on yet so idk about how he looks, but yeah he looks fine atm. Kieren is unfairly pretty, it's rude and he needs to stop(no he doesn't). (I've seen his naked back and um... I may be keeping the memory of his shoulders moving as he puts his shirt on close to hand. Do we get to see more? If so, eeeeeeeeeee. It's okay we're just bad people).

Noooooo, don't remind me. He's not dead, he's living with his grandson and his wife in the city and they're all very happy and nothing bad happens to them ever again. :(

Like most people Jem doesn't want to admit she has issues or needs help. Like I said, VERY realistic! Hehe.

Poor Amy, not having any family. :( If she still had family she probably never would've felt the need to leave. Kieren is lucky.

BTW, how nice are the PDS sufferers hair? Like, most of them have full, pretty hair, and clear (if pale as fuck) skin...how do they look so good? They look better than me. It just seems unfair to die and STILL be drop dead gorgeous. This show has model!zombies, haha. (Yes, I felt so grossed out by myself for checking out Simon's back and shoulders. I bet that was half the point, but with that huge wound down his spine...damn. Not a great moment to be attracted, self. And IIRC there is no more. Which is unfortunate, or maybe fortunate, I don't know which. At least Amy was feeling the same way!)

:( At least he can be with his wife in death, right? He's probably still happy... *sobs*
