Was having a good day and the universe decided to slice my tire open so I had to spend 30 minutes waiting for my brother to change it then drive 45mph down the highway for an hour to get home ✌️

this is why you keep a spare tire and the tools to change said tire in your car

Is this karma for something

I'm thinking of making a chapter post to update everyone following You Came Back For Me regarding my absence/lack of progress

Is that a good idea or will it just make them sad when they realize it's not a new chapter lmao-

Cause there's a pretty decent chunk of updates to go through (especially for those who don't follow me here so they have no idea what's going on with it)

Forgot that energy drinks do energy drink things and now I'm up at 5am. gang I made a mistake

[afternoon-stalker]

Art as an apology for my absence (and by absence I mean dying of sickness like a sad Victorian child)

The juggling act that is my hyperfixations has rotated and now I'm on Elden Ring laddies and germs. Be back to Iron Lung soon tho (especially after it releases on YT)

[sibbydoo]

Meet cute? Uhhhh not with these two I don't think

I really wanted to add more to this but I didn't have any solid foundation — legit just started drawing and boom, bloodymary! Still, I'm hoping to write a one-shot based on this soon :3

[afternoon-stalker]

I want to watch Project Hail Mary so bad but if it's going to grasp my heart and rip it through my sternum the way I think it will (and the way iron lung did) then I do not have the emotional bandwidth for that and may or may not spiral because of it

Am I right or am I wrong chat

I have so many thoughts on queer platonic bloodymary.

They share a bed because the thought of waking up alone terrifies them, and they hold each other close.

On Simon's bad days Ryland puts all of the red clothes into the closet so he doesn't have to see them and think of being soaked in blood again.

On Ryland's bad days Simon opens all the windows so he can hear the artificial ocean, and takes away the risk of the house smelling sterile in any way.

They watch shitty slasher movies because they don't have any chance of bringing flashbacks.

When Simon finally got comfortable enough for touch after God knows how long, they both just sat on the floor holding eachother, staring off blankly into space with tears flowing (Rocky and Adrian were very concerned that they might have missed an important detail about humans melding together).

Ryland teaches Simon how to swim. He dragged Simon out of the water once because his foot touched a rock shaped too much like the teeth on the Eel. Ryland didn't question him, just dragged Simon out of the water, wrapped him in the beach towel, and held him while his nails dug into his skin.

Simon teaches Ryland how to properly sew. He shows Ryland how to embroider little designs, and how to make it so the stitching doesn't dig into his side. When he successfully made a short for the first time he cried, and Simon held him while he slurred thanks and apologies.

They start a small garden inside the biodome so they have more variety in their diet, Ryland can study Eridian plant cells to his hearts content, and Simon can watch plants grow from anything other than blood.

Ryland wakes up in the middle of the night terrified he's back in space, unable to see anything because it's so dark. Simon takes him to sit outside so he knows he's on a planet, even if he hates being too close to the ocean.

Simon wakes up screaming sometimes, fighting and hitting, thinking the walls are the lung again. Ryland turns on the lights and sits on the couch with him while Simon fixes whatever damage he did, even if Ryland already forgave him, because that's what helps.

Sometimes they help with weird things that snap them out of their spiralling.

Simon gets wrapped in a heated blanket until he's sweating because he's still used to the cold of space stations with failing energy sources, and Ryland sits on the floor and just rambles.

Ryland sometimes lies face down on the ground, or under weighted everything. Sometimes he asks Simon to lay on top of him until he starts having trouble breathing, and Simon will do it, talking about whatever comes to mind.

And at the end of the day whenever Rocky or any other Eridian asks "Simon Grace mates, question?" They both make uncomfortable faces and start laughing.
