Y’all I just rewatched Iron Lung and we as a fandom mischaracterise the FUCK outta Simon! I’m really out of the habit of writing fanfiction but may get back into it just to do my boy some justice lol
(Also knowing the chances of Mark seeing this is incredibly low but apparently not zero, if you do see this please know how much I love the film ❤️)
Now headcannoning Grace having the fibromyalgia gene and it being turned on/triggered by the coma and trauma of putting the Not in Astronaut (not being trained for the strenuous conditions)
!! Disclaimer !! That is not entirely how fibromyalgia works but for the sake of a quick Tumblr post that’s how I’ll simplify it
(Brought to you by someone with fibromyalgia and wants representation)
(Might reblog later on burdening Grace with my symptoms and Rocky’s reactions to them [+ possibly a BloodyMary side to it])
Feel free to add to this or incorporate it into your own headcanons!!
When I wanna be sad, I give old grace dementia.
The drug they gave him to give him amnesia, affects him in his older years as a side effect.
Because they weren’t really planning for him to live longer than the mission needed, so it wasn’t really a concern.
Way to fuck me up 😭😭😭
(Seriously tho, w o w)
Imagine how horrified Rocky is because his species remembers everything. Just imagine how heartbroken Rocky would be when Grace forgets about him, but also imagine every single time they meet again. Grace is a little scared at first, but excepts this little rock thing into his life until the next time he forgets. 
Imagine Rocky‘s people thinking that it might be contagious and it could be one of the worst diseases you can get and Rocky doesn’t care.
Grace’s Rockies platonic soulmate, the man who saved him and the universe! He doesn’t care if they don’t know if the disease is transferable, his best friend is scared and confused and Rocky will not leave him because Grace never left him.
Anyway, I already wrote something really sad about this happening with a mutated Simon who lives longer. 
If you don’t mind sharing it, I’d love to read it and I’m sure others would too (despite the fact it will definitely make me cry)!!!
💬 2 🔁 8 ❤️ 59 · Me thinking about bloody Mary but what if the blood ocean gave Simon an extended life? I have not enough time and I’m als
It’s not a full thing but I might add onto it.

ive said it once i’ll say it again Grace gets pissed off really easily and when he does he gets loud and throws shit and breaks things. Simon for the most part tries to stay calm in bad situations, he tells himself everything is going to end up well for him. When grace is in a bad situation he gives up - the man drinks and does drugs and crashes out when he finds out hes not going home. Simon refuses to die. If either of them are scared dogs attacking people when they’re threatened it’s grace. Simon apologizes every 3 seconds and realllyy wants to live. Bloodymary fandom has swapped them me thinks. But also just the gruff angry all the time is neither of them, cut ts out.
Magma drawing from yesterday.
So since a lot of people asked when I started part 1 how many chapters there were, I decided to count them this time for Part 2. Counting the ones already out, there will be 19 chapters. Debating on either lengthening chapters or else doubling postings, but I don't want to overwhelm readers.
That being said, Chapter 19 is a bigun. Slightly lengthwise, but mostly plot-wise, for our dear Jester Bard. I have hinted in the past that this Part involves parallels with Episode 6 of TADC, so make of that what you will ;)
I made Iron Lung fanart! This movie has me in a chokehold lol
IT CONTAINS SPOILERS!
(And 3 versions, two may cause eye strain, I will put the normal one first but imo the second one is the best)
More funnybunny thoughts!!!
I’ve been seeing a lot of asshole Jax and thought about a song fic or animatic around the song “right where you left me” by Taylor Swift.
Something something, the two have a thing (how serious idk) while in the Circus but then they’re freed.
Something something, the two agree to meet up and talk at a restaurant that’s convenient for both of them.
Something something, Jax never shows, stops reading and responding to messages etc. He’s too much of a coward now that they’re real and not just characters.
Something something, Pomni is distraught but is a big girl. She gets on with life but still occasionally, albeit less so over time, reaches out in case. She sits there every so often, maybe weekly, then monthly, then never.
Something something, maybe you prefer a happy ending and he gets over it eventually. Maybe he does but she moves on. Maybe they both move on or both live wondering what they could have been.
I REALLY want to make an angsty animatic but I have no time, nor animation experience. Still wanted to share the idea incase someone else likes it or wants to use it!
Brainwave time:
Abstragedy and Easy
Specifically Zooble as Vaggi and Gangle as Charlie
FunnyBunny and Loser Baby
Specifically Jax as Angel and Pomni as Husk
I wish I could draw/animate because I really want to see this 😭
I know they aren’t perfectly matched but I still find it fun to imagine when I listen to both songs
Do you ever think about how if they escape the circus, they won’t be used to reality for a while? LOTS OF TRIGGER WARNINGS (ALL IN THE TAGS)
Examples:
• They can’t feel pain in circus so are more reckless with themselves and each other. After the circus they’re probably quite rough with others forgetting they can be hurt. That and they themselves are likely covered in bruises, cuts, getting sick, breaking bones etc because they keep forgetting that they can be hurt. What if they pinch themselves (or worse) because they’re happy to have such a human sensation again, even if it’s pain.
• Nutrition. Hunger and thirst don’t exist either in the circus. Outside of it, they probably aren’t used to those sensations and forget that they need to eat and drink. They’ll often be dehydrated or shaky from lack of energy. They probably gorge themselves at times because they missed the flavours. They probably make themselves sick from under and over eating.
• De-personalisation. They might naturally slip into their circus personas because they can’t really remember who they used to be. It’s like trying to be who were as a teenager when you’re 30, or trying to act like an old friend you barely remember. They might experience disassociation, de-realisation, and de-personalisation. Any pre-existing mental health issues would likely be made 10x worse. Do they have any blanks in their memories of their time before/in the circus. Any forms of amnesia? Brain fog?
• Dysmorphia. Along a similar vein, they probably feel weird about their human bodies. They’re so happy to be human but occasionally Zooble will try to take off their arm for a new one without thinking. Gangle isn’t made of ribbons so probably struggles with flexibility and conceptualising that she’s one solid piece. Kinger has to get used to legs and arms again, his hands can’t just float wherever he wants them too.
• Physics and logic. Completely out the window while in the circus. But in the real world? You have gravity, you have solid ground without a map to fall through. They’re paranoid about Cain popping out of nowhere, but he can’t do that anymore. No more holding your breath until something funny happens or putting your finger in a gun to shoot it backwards.
• No adventures. Boredom. Waiting for the next ball to drop when there isn’t one. Life is now too mundane. They’re so happy they never need to go on an adventure again. They’re all stuck between the two frames of mind.
• They can swear. They can have sex. They aren’t censored anymore. Each character would be different on this.
• Grief. Survivors guilt. They mourn everyone who abstracted or otherwise didn’t make it out. They hate that they did. NPCs (Looking at Gummigoo and Pomni). Especially Kinger, Jax, and Ragatha.
• Time. It exists now. They all experience time blindness and struggle to create sleep schedules. They have to get used to real sunlight again, especially their eyes. They have to deal with being wide awake yet exhausted every night.
• Culture shock. Obvious this will be worse for those in the circus the longest. But they’ve all missed stuff. They help each other fill in blanks and learn what’s new to all of them so they can learn together.
• Relationships. Their family and friends. Did they look for them? Did they even notice? Did any of them have partners (minus Kinger and Queenie)? I doubt any of them had children but it might be possible. Some, if not all, of them had jobs. What about their bosses, their coworkers? What about tax? What about any pets?
ALSO! Add anything in a reblog or the comments! Character specifics, anything you think I missed, a detailed breakdown of a point I made, a disagreement with any points, anything!
(If anyone is inspired to write a fic, please send it to me. If there are already fics out there that covers these in any way, please send them me) 🙏🙏🙏
More funnybunny stuff because I can’t sleep:
• Anyone notice how in episode 4 (Spudsy’s) it’s implied by Ragatha that Pomni is flirting with Gummigoo.
• Then in episode 5 (lightning round) Jax, for the beginning adventures, puts on an Australian accent. The same accent Gummigoo notoriously has.
• In this same episode Jax clearly states he thinks Evil Pomni is cool.
• Finally in episode 6 (GUNS), Pomni gives herself an “evil” persona.
I’ve seen people note these separately but I haven’t seen anyone make the connection that it’s mutual
They both noticed the other find (or seemingly find) something attractive and immediately replicate that in the next episode. They both want to impress each other. Even if they are unaware that they are doing it, they are trying to make themselves more attractive to the other.
You could argue that it’s platonic because while these points are clearly canon, Gooseworx has said explicitly that romance won’t be in the show. However, it’s 2:45 and I am delusional so I’m arguing it means funnybunny canonically fancy each other. Even if unknowingly.
GUYS IM NOT TALENTED ENOUGH TO MAKE THIS BUT CAN WE ALL AGREE WE NEED AN ANIMATIC OF THE DAISY BELL SONG SUNG BY A COMPUTER THAT SOUNDS SAD AND A LITTLE CREEPY (PLEASE TELL ME YOU KNOW IT) WITH JAX OR POMNI ABSTRACTING AND THE OTHER GRIEVING
YALL IM GOING FERAL
"You guys are proving the point."
"We are just as bad as the Capitol."
"Did you even read the books? Wanting more is the problem."
No, fucking no..
Did you read the books? Do you know the content you consumed? This isn't john wick, we aren't reading and watching this series for the gruesome deaths.
We are consuming this media to hear the voices of this fictional world, the voices who were robbed of their story.
Thinking that we are just as bad is way off the point I'd think you are insane. Why are we acting like this is similar at all.
You have any idea what I'd give to hear the tales of the people who were killed before anyone would know. The ancestors we have who we won't ever know.
We read for the hope, for the relating to these people. I was raped at a young child, hearing Finnick realize it isn't his fault would heal me.
Hearing a story from the 25th hunger games would heal the people who were turned on for no reason. Hearing about a Capitol citizen slowly realize the reality will help people whose entire lives have been trapped in a propaganda machine. Hearing if the ones who rely on drugs will heal those who struggled with use.
The entire point of the games were to remind people to stay silent, to stay docile against the government. The reason we read is to feel joy for people rising above, for working for a better ending.
When I read the end of Mockingjay, I can't help but cry. Because after having my son and overcoming everything, I relate to Katniss's love and growth.
I want to see this anger when people complain about gay people and politics in the books. Not when people hope to hear more survivors, because even if you don't make it out alive.
You still survived.
Knowing how much Haymitch's games were changed from what actually happened to what was shown makes me question literally everything we know about the games we have not actually seen happen.
It makes me question the one Katniss talks about where one of the tributes was killed for supposed cannibalism because the Capitol couldn't have a cannibalistic victor. Is that true? Or was he another rebel that was wiped out and painted as a villain to fit Capitol propaganda?
What about Johanna's games? Did she really portray herself as weak only to turn around and kill everyone around her? Or was that simply the narrative the Capitol gave her to cover up her real story? After all, we know she was punished at some point.
Finnick? Annie? What really happened in their games? We don't know much about Finnick's other than him being good with a trident and being the youngest to ever win (which is all probably accurate), but Annie's? Did she really get traumatized from seeing her district partner die or was it something else? Something to do with her connection to Mags, or Finnick, or the rebels in general?
Nothing the Capitol says or shows can ever be trusted.
THIS
i still haven't finished sunrise on the reaping but i am thinking about something I have read-
in the first hunger games I always felt like Haymitch's timing on the stage was very opportune-- no one in District 12 applauds, they instead have just given Katniss their 3-fingered salute honor-- and Haymitch stumbles on to shout about how she has more spunk than anyone (into the camera) before falling off stage-- and I've always kinda thought on some level he does it on purpose (maybe not the first time I read it but certainly on my last re-read) -- that it was an intentional decision despite his intoxication -- and it does draw the camera and attention away from Katniss AND the crowd
and now considering what happened during Haymitch's reaping.... I really think he did -- because he has seen what happens when the crowd doesn't perform the way they are supposed to
OH MY GOD DONT DO THIS TO ME (I fear you are 100% correct)
Sunrise on the reaping/ First Hunger Games theory - Prim’s reaping was rigged
(Some small spoilers for sotr)
Ok I finished sotr a few days ago and I can’t get this headcanon/ theory out of my head so here it is:
As far as I know the idea that Prim her reaping was rigged has come up a few times, I never really believed in it till now, but with a few twists. The part in [] is less theory and more my writers heart planning a fanfic.
Prim was reaped to punish Haymitch. She was the youngest daughter of his dead best friend. They could have reaped Katniss at the age of twelve but they had other plans for her (obviously they didn’t think she would volunteer).
So by having Prim reaped at twelve they had another young girl depend on Haymitch (Louella) but young kids don’t survive the games so he would watch her go into her certain death - just like before - and he couldn’t stop it. [It would destroy him but he would hold on not just bc of his promise to Lenore Dove but also because of Katniss, because she was still at reaping age.
The next year he would get his act together as good as he could just in case, but she wasn’t reaped.
The year after that he allows himself a flicker of hope, it’s Katniss’ last year. Still he gets his act together. But ofc his hopes are destroyed.]
Katniss gets reaped at the age of 18. His last bit of hope gets squashed. He tries his best to help her but she is so angry at him. She won’t listen to him. In the end she dies at the bloodbath. He failed to safe both kids who were supposed to call him uncle - if things had been different.
So in short conclusion:
It was planned that Prim gets reaped at 12 and Katniss at 18 to punish Haymitch further.
Idk if that makes a lot of sense but I just had to get it out there.
Tbh I’m still not a fan of the Prim being reaped was rigged theory but this version makes the most sense to me and gets me on board with it more
