Wouldn't be me if I didn't draw a Buttons illustration for a post-apoc themed project.
This is my 3rd pic for Shaman's Wastelands 2023 art book!

Imagine if a zombie apocalypse happened and nobody cared. It didn't really effect wealthier areas because guards would shoot them down. There's some paranoia that zombies would overrun humans but society never really breaks down.
You'd hear about infested areas out in the rust belt, where entire towns were overtaken by the undead. And mabye you'd see a zombie or two when you're in a really bad neighborhood and you have to cross the street. Most undead are harmless outside of large groups, but it's always good to stay safe.
And if you go to an area that's completely overun things really will look like the apocalypse. And there's something exciting about that. Society is interested in those ghost towns, not as a tragedy, but as a spectacle. You've seen reality TV where people will head into the worst of the outbreak with nothing more then a knife and a camera, all while the locals look on wishing someone could take them back.
Most people don't think about zombies. They're just another thing in the world that sucks right now. Occasionally there's a reminder of them, but eventually you forget why anyone is even afraid at all. It seems so normal.
One of your coworkers was attacked the other day by a zombie. Nobody really knew her well. The main thing people were talking about at the office when it comes to her is how lucky she is the be in the hospital having her wounds treated and disinfected, instead of stuck at work. Someone as young as her is expected to be able to fight one off, mabye she did it on purpose. Nobody was still making jokes when they realized she died, people aren't supposed to die that way if they're rich enough to work in an office.
The apocalypse isn't enough to end society. Society is meant to be more resilient then reality, that's the point.

The Cosmos in Her Hand is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival and revenge. Technology and psychopathy are the catalysts for the destruction that ensnares a small group of survivors who have no idea they’re pawns in a larger game until a slightly crazy woman shows up on their field with a confusing assertion that she’s come to help. Has she really? Or is she legitimately nuts? You know, the apocalypse takes a toll on people in different ways.
“I can’t pretend to be sane for you.” ~ Kali
Do you like flawed heroes? Do you appreciate dark humor and characters in stories who drink, swear, engage in adult activities, commit acts of violence, have pretty good intentions but make mistakes anyway? This standalone novel explores the motivations of survivors of an apocalyptic event. Nobody’s perfect in The Cosmos in Her Hand. Everyone’s damaged. This science fiction story takes place on planet earth in the great states of Virginia and Ohio. There is no alien invasion, and there are no zombies. This is a character driven story.
Review Quotes from Amazon and Goodreads~
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “In a post-apocalyptic world, describe love. Define crazy. What's off limits? Cyphers takes us by the hand and leads us through a tale of Armageddon with no apologies, no blindfold, no time to stop and rest.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Post-apocalyptic science fiction craze, it’s an amazing book.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “There’s quite a lot of violence and sex, and the violence is graphic and the sex is… sexy.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Cosmos is raw, uncensored, and totally seductive in all senses of the word. It’s like a book with something for everyone: philosophers, sci-fi, dystopian fans, and some eroticism.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Read the ‘look inside’ preview, I dare you, it nearly made me late for work!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I would like this novel for a tv adaptation! It has everything.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This story is original and powerful. For a post-apocalyptic tale, it doesn’t go where you expect it to.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Every book should have a bearded red haired alcohol making, party inducing Irishmen in it! James quickly became one of my favourite characters! The ending was so disturbingly satisfying! I highly recommend reading The Cosmos in her Hand! I loved it!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This was such a great book! It had me from the first page.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The relationship between Lev and Kali is just absolutely beautiful.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I loved it."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The ending of this book is incredible, there’s an initial climax and return to semi-normality, and then there’s Kali, again. Kali has to finish this novel properly, with the help of Lev and those who love her. It’s an intense and emotional ending which is violent, disturbing, and brilliant. Perfection.”
Get your copy of The Cosmos in Her Hand and see what you think.

People are saying that the Tiktok Infected AUs for MLP are too scary but here I am an MLP Veteran, that was there from the VERY BEGINNING.
When I watched the Show as a Kid, Lil Miss Rarity, Rainbow Factory and Cupcakes were already made alongside My Little Amnesia, that one SCP Foundation MLP fangame and Experiments of Twilight Sparkle.
I have seen it all and quite Honestly when I see Tiktok's infected AU, I just laugh or be Wowed by the Art.
