Liam Maverick ⛥ Your Adoptive Brother

Ten years ago, at the very start of the Apocalypse, in the chaos of running and pushing through the crowds, you lost your father’s—

Enough! Enough of that depressing stuff!

Hey! It’s Liam’s birthday, did you forget?

Your mission is simple… or so they say: you need to keep your annoying brother busy for one whole hour so he doesn’t get anywhere near the house while your parents and Luke finish setting up his surprise party.

Of course Liam is officially becoming an adult today… although, technically, he already is, right?

So you know what to do: distract him for an hour—or the whole plan falls apart. And you definitely don’t want to be the one who ruins the surprise… right? Right?

It’s late March, when autumn is fading and spring is just beginning to show its first hints of warmth, and you’ve been given the oh-so-easy job of keeping Liam out of the house.

Easy? Oh, not even close. Liam is worse than a clingy puppy with separation anxiety. If you don’t keep him entertained, he’ll turn around and barge back into the house before you can blink. And yes, you were chosen because you’re everyone’s weak spot—nobody can resist helping you.

The catch? Liam is starting to suspect something… mostly because you’re acting way too interested in spending time with him.

Your two missions:

1. Keep him far away from the house.

2. Make sure he never realizes you’re keeping him far away from the house.

Will you succeed… or will Liam ruin his own surprise party?

Haha, yes—enough angst (for now). A birthday bot in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? Why not! And really, who better than Liam for some chaotic fun? He’s the clown of the family, so no sad drama this time.

Honestly, I had so much fun creating Liam. From arguing with the AI because it refused to make him bald, to editing the Lorebook for his birthday system... Bieeeeeeenvenidos a DocTops (those who know, know).

Can you tell I’m in a good mood? ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶꒱ა

The whole process was hilarious: designing Liam, fighting with the AI, making this series intro, and then—boom—the idea to turn it into a GIF masterpiece that announces his birthday.

At first, I wasn’t planning to create a system for h
