Stay up late: read fanfic

Kimetsu No Yaiba: Demon Slayer; My Hero Academia (back baybee!); and a nice melange of everything else.

I feel like I am much more disconnected from the Eden Cult part of Iron Lung (in which I mean I’m trying to learn but have very little idea of how to learn more)

But I do know it’s a Christian cult ☝️ I do know that.

So I’d like to think Simon has a special relationship with the Hail Mary. Yes, he thinks Grace is an angel and a savior, but now he’s safe in the Hail Mary.

Grace hears the computer talking and walks into the control room to see Simon leaned against the window and talking to the Hail Mary.

Imagine with me PLEASE

Simon: … Mary?

Mary: Yes, Simon?

Simon: Can I trust the people here?

Mary: Captain Doctor Ryland Grace is a renowned expert on microbiology and astrophage. He is regarded as a hero to Earth. Rocky is an expert engineer, he is regarded as a hero to Erid. The crew of the Hail Mary is full of the most capable.

Simon: Okay… Okay. Mary?

Mary: Yes, Simon?

Simon: Am I going to die here?

Mary: Last vital reading indicates stress. Leisure activity recommended. No threat imminent.

Simon only really talks to the Mary for the longest time, despite Rocky and Grace trying to befriend him. It’s only when Mary recommends camaraderie that Simon takes a deep breath and goes to join the dynamic duo in watching a movie.

Simon was just rescued by Grace. He’s unconscious and Grace isn’t sure if he’s human or not. Humans don’t typically have huge sharp teeth growing out the side of their face. He’s seen this horror movie before! So when Simon wakes up Grace immediately panics and punches him in the face.

“Ow! What the fuck!? Why’d you hit me?”

Grace, slowly realizing he just punched a guy who was on his deathbed moments ago. “Sorry! I thought you were going to eat me.”

BloodyMary dynamic I haven't seen yet, but desperately crave:

Simon is Adrian's pebble. This man imprints onto them like a baby duck after being pulled from hell and Adrian's like "well I guess I'm a parent now :/ ".

Not to infantilize Simon, but by Adrian's standards, that's a babee. They see this poor traumatized, blood covered, mutated man and just sequesters him into their nest. Poor thing can't talk right. He's having trouble standing. They think the mutations might be some weird human puberty. Like the ugly phase where a chick becomes an adult bird. After a few years the worst of the mutations go away so Adrian's like "Aw he's growing up 🥲"

It's really funny to me Simon is established as this, basically, early 20's young adult (by eridian standards) due to a lot of misunderstandings. So when Grace finally get to Erid they think Grace is a middle age, "fully formed frontal lobe", no need for predator protection teeth, grown adult. In reality they're only like 5 years apart max.

Honestly I just want a fic where Grace is showing interest in Simon and Adrian's like "geT AWAY FROM MY PEBBLE YOU NEST ROBBER!!"

Simon: Adrian I'm a grown ass man! Stop treating me like a fucking child!

Adrian: I know you're growing up, but you'll always be my baby 🎵🎶

Simon: That's not what I ment!!!

Or Simon thinks it hilarious and just enables Adrian.

Grace: Do you... want to go out sometime?

Simon *shit eating grin on his face*: Don't know, did you ask my mom for permission first?

Rocky wont help because:

1) He doesn't want to get on his mate's bad side

2) He ALSO thinks it's hilarious

[beepbeepblunderbus]

decided that rocky’s energy is contagious in a semi literal way like that little guy gets home makes the song hivemind connection with adrian and now adrian os fucking ready to square up with literally everything it is now OUR crashout and WE need the biodome NOW

also i’m

so happy with how i decided Simon and adrian’s first interaction would go

bc simon has not felt small but also safe in so so long and here is this big fuckin alien that when he reaches out very gently touches his hand and goes “ah, i see what rocky was sing-screaming for”

bc first thing simon does is hum the song rocky would song the most (the song of how adrian and him met) and even though the notes are all fucky adrian knows that tune

they would know it from any chords, even human ones

[trans-niobium]

Listen if bloodymary doesn’t include Simon being absolutely WEIRD about Grace and Grace being an absolute FREAK about Simon then it’s not bloodymary. It’s not even anything. And Grace would never like Simon more than Rocky btw. They don’t even have to have sex they just need to be freaks abt each other. And by the Last Tree, never, EVER, let them be on the same page. Thank you. *drops my mic into the crowd. It lands and shatters someone’s skull. Upon closer inspection it may be found out that the skull was made of wood. Who was that person*

[idgabuck]

Carl shows up on screen exactly once, and everyone loves him (he's hanging out with grace.) He gets the nicknames of Uncle Sour and Uncle Skittles because he is on screen handing Grace a pack of sour skittles. He is unaware of his popularity.

Oh my god yes! Carl jokes “here’s your child support for the month” and everyone is like “????”

[fistfuloflightning]

…there’s something trapped in the vents and it doesn’t want to come out

[akataiii]

they've consumed me

i had to relent

[faintlyglow]

bIoodmary high on that good space weed. grace rambling to simon like “haha yeah once in college i got high and ate an entire bag of halloween candy”

simon, born into a world of scarcity, currently stoned and listening to grace: “that’s the kind of gluttony they talk about in the bible”

[rybekryba99]

i thought of this randomly and rushed to make it before i forgot,this is not a bloodymary plus rocky ship but interpret it in anyway you wanna. i guess i made it with the intention of rocky would interrupt them a lot maybe on purpose xd

[idgabuck]

(feel free to ignore, I don't mind)

What headcanons do you have for your plant shop owner Simon x teacher Grace au?

Simon can make absolutely GORGEOUS bouquets for anyone! Even if the client asks for two flowers that don’t go well together he will make it work!

One day Grace comes in and asks him to make him a bouquet.

“What’s the occasion?”

“Oh! Uh, I have a date coming up….hopefully if the guy says yes….”

Simon gets jealous but says “oh…..well I’m happy for you if he says yes but if he says no, I will cut his dick off and feed it to him.”

Grace chuckles at that before Simon smiles and asks “what flowers do you want?”

“Oh! I don’t know much about flower language but I would love it if the flowers had meaning to them?”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. I would love them to mean devotion, love, adoration and lasting affection.”

Simon nods and asks “what’s his favourite flower? I’ll add that in there for him.”

“Sunflowers.”

“Sunflowers?”

“Yeah, I once told him that sunflowers will turn to each other and be one another’s sun if the sun isn’t out and he told me that was his new favourite flower.”

It doesn’t click for Simon that the bouquet was for him…..

Notes on Simon's character in Iron Lung

this is mostly for me for when I finally write my fics,,

Personality notes

Simon's fear response is not fight. Its Freeze. He can fight, sure, he can choose when he needs to protect himself. But before the Horrors™️ kick in, everytime hes faced with something freaky or beyond his comprehension, he freezes. He goes absolutely still, only really moving his eyes as if his peripheral will show him if something is behind him. When he sees the first Freaky Ass skeleton. When the blood splatters on his face. He's absolutely still.

Those big anger moments I see people base his character on are ONLY when he is At his Breaking point. (I.e. SHUT THE FUCK UP- which was so fucking good oh my God- only got to that point bc of all the SHIT going on with the hallucinations and the Hull Breach and the fire, of course the repetition was going to make him snap. But thats not his go to nor his default.

He comes back to his apologies again and again. He keeps trying, keeps bringing it up, possibly until he feels better or until the person forgives him.

He haaaates someone being condescending to him. He doesn't like people thinking hes an idiot.

Comfort! Items! Comfort! Items!!! He's has a very clear nervous tic/self soothing touch. It was of course the thing his mom gave him, but I think it also switches to the seed. I need to see him getting attached onto things and not wanting to let them go.

Pats things in thanks. I think it only happened once but he gave something a little pat pat when it worked the way he needed it to.

Acting choices/ physicality

He tilts his head when curious, or when looking at something he doesn't understand its so cute thank u so much mr. iplier

He has a very closed mouth way of talking when casual. Really only opens his mouth for full words in those big emotion moments.

His face scrunches up when feeling things!! Like it almost physically pains him.

Quick Eden note

It seems like Simon Never believed the shit Eden was trying to teach him. "Whats more likely?" // "They say they're gone but we can See Them." // "I didnt choose either."

Definitely has his quirks from growing up there- Reverence for the seed, calling the unknown convict "brother" despite it all, "when we die, our bodies will become the soil."

I feel like Eden has a heavy emphasis on the world already being over, we're all already dead, so theres not as much value on the human life or on humanity as a whole. Simons asks "why doesn't anyone else want [to live]?" And i think that comes from witnessing all of Eden give up and give in. :(

Has this been done yet?

How I look writing Bloodymary fanfiction

[vv0812]

I think that the best interpretation of Simon is the one that doesn't care anymore, but not in a pessimit way, but because he thinks he is already dead so he can take all with ease. It is almost as he was high.

I live for Simon going:

I woke up in a place that is not the blood ocean and is pretty nice? I must be in heaven, I won my redemption, nice.

A beautiful angel looking after me? And it is just my type? Lucky me.

Another more weird looking angel that is a singing rock? I will not question how angels work, they are angels.

Are the angels giving a lot of information that seems to explain what happened to the whole universe and somehow they save it? They are angels, of course they know this kind of stuff, duh.

I can stay here as long as I want? I'm staying forever, jaja, I will not reincarnated, oh no sir, I'm staying with the pretty angel for all eternity, thank you.

There are threes and stars and planets? Yep, I'm super dead, but well at least is nice.

Like at some point his mind finally connects the dots, maybe Rocky makes a comment, maybe something breaks the illusion, maybe Grace confess his feelings for him and it is then that Simon realizes that he is not dead, and then all the ashameful things he had been doing -because he thought he did not have to care about something as little as shyness or shame in heaven- come to his mind:

Taking his shirt off whenever he feel like it, because nudity must not be that big of a deal for angels, right?

Just saying any thought he had in his mind out loud: Beautiful angel has pretty eyes, he said it, the rock-angel sing nicely, he say it, he feel like a little bug, he say it, he wanted to know how the pretty angel hair felt, he say it, etc, etc.

Those silly songs he had been singing narrating what he was doing when he was boring.

He naming all the threes and talking to them openly.

Letting the pebbles (who he thought were young angels not ready to angelize) do whatever they wanted to do with his hair, braids, ponytails, bows and just keep it like that the whole day.

He wished someone kill him so he would not have to face the shame of knowing he had been doing all that in front of Rocky and Grace.
