Sharing the other idea I had for my bloodymary fic since I know I can't write two at once lmao
Basically the idea was that Simon gets teleported onto the hail mary, right? Except he does so before Grace wakes up. So Simon wakes up on a space ship with one man in a coma and two other people dead, mutated to all hell.
Simon spends a while in the ship alone as he tries to piece together how he got there and who those people were. Simon spends a long while just sitting next to Grace as he hopes the man makes it through, so he's not alone.
He also spends a lot of time staring out the window at all the stars. If he breaks down a few times because of the sight, that's between him and the ship.
Of course, Grace freaks out upon waking up and seeing Simon. Kinda hard not to with the second mouth. It's a major bummer to both men as they realize the other doesn't have any explanation for how they got there or why.
Slowly the two have to piece what happened as Grace gets his memories back. There's a few arguments between them about the timelines of events. Eventually they come to the conclusion have to be from different timelines or realities due to how different their understanding is.
Which doesn't mess with Simon at all as he realizes he's in a world that hasn't lost its stars yet but will soon if they fail.
Enter Rocky.
Simon is even more wary of Rocky than Grace is. Kinda hard not to be after his last alien encounter. Things go according to the movie for a bit here. I never got too far into how this section would be impacted by having Simon there but there would definitely be some differences.
A major thing I wanted to explore with the taumoeba was Simon's feelings of preventing the fate of his universe falling onto this one. Simon has done some undeniably awful things in his life. There's no way for him to undo the lives that he's taken away. But now he's part of the reason that humanity gets to live another day. In some way, he's atoning for the actions he's taken. Sure, he can never be forgiven. Dead people can't forgive. But Simon now is the reason that billions of people will never have to experience the stars disappearing. He's helped not only Earth, but a whole additional planet too. I thought that would be a fun thing to explore. I almost chose this idea on that premise alone.
There were other fun ideas I wanted to explore, like what would Simon think about going to earth? Would there be any complicated feelings with it? What about the food supply? Now there'd be less available. I thought it might be a fun idea to explore Simon's mutations in this regard. What if he didn't eat the same anymore? Could have thrown in some crazy using blood as food thing here.
Any who, thats all I had I think. I went with my tree idea so I didnt do as much thinking on this idea. Probably won't get around to writing it, so use if you want (as if this isn't all pretty generic bloodymary stuff LMAO)
bloodymary au where Simon has a flower shop and Grace goes in to get roses to dissect in his class and instantly is like. Oh my god.
But of course he only needs to buy the flowers once, right? Grace needs a reason to go visit the shop again to talk to Simon more. So suddenly the lesson plan for the plant biology has a lot more experiments than before.
Talking about plant anatomy? Oh, he'll need white roses to show how water quality can change the plants development. Talking about light rays? Oh, he'll need some flowers to grow and show how different wave lengths affect it. Oh, surely he'll need plants for the carbon cycle.
Does he really need to buy more plants to talk about kinetic energy? No, but with the way Simon smiles when he listens to Grace awkwardly ramble about how his class reacted to the latest science experiment, he's sure he can find a way to fit them in.
How it's feels to write my bloodymary fic sometimes. Trying to write scenes for chapter 6 with Grace and some Eridians but all I'm getting is scenes two chapters away with Simon or NOTHIN. Even then man leaves mid scene. Sir I can't write without you here sir. Sir. Sir please.
since my bloodymary fic had gotten to 1000 hits and 100 kudos, I decided to do a little sketch of a scene that is yet to come !! Not my best work but I'm trying to not be a perfectionist with my drawings
Genuinely so happy that people seem to like my little story. I can't wait to get into the proper plot of it. Everytime I read a comment on it I get so excited to write more for it :'D
Since I posted Chapter 5 of my bloody mary fic, I thought I'd share the doodles I have in the notes app I write the story in.
Since I have my mom as my beta reader I like to do a little puppet show to tell her about the story beats I haven't written yet. The doodles on the left are for chapter 6. I have a lot of fun moving them around.
Gonna have to draw something proper since the fic hit 1000 hits
Every time that I doodle Grace I get to the back of his hair and then think of a chicken so I have decided to draw grace as a chicken because I have free will.
Which then made me think about how Grace is normally portrayed as a fox in stuff. Which then made me think of how chicken is used as an insult like coward.
Which then made me think of how foxes are common hunters of chickens
Something something pre launch Grace being the chicken and post launch Grace being the fox hunting the chicken. Something something post launch Grace's hatred for being a coward and not being able to give up his life willingly. Something something Grace's hatred for the him that couldn't say yes to Stratt and made her force him.
apparently getting surgery to not die is a lot of money. Guess who's probably going into medical debt ✨️✨️✨️ might have to cancel college ✨️✨️✨️ To be seen. Depends. I'll probably make another doodle if it gets confirmed I owe thousands of dollars.
Update: no medical debt I managed to get covered !!!!!!!! I think. Idk I did this doodle while on call to get the insurance and I think I'm good now
I find it very funny that the posts about me projecting my appendicitis onto grace are taking off. I'm having a lot of fun making these doodles. Might make more about the weird adventure of recovering from surgery now that I'm almost back to being fully normal and can actually draw
whatever some higher being is trying to keep you from writing is probably a banger
out of spite I am going to finish this fic even if I take 20 years to do so. Higher being trying to take me out can keep trying !! Simon and Grace will experience The Horrors™
Doodle I did for chapter five of my bloodymary fic while I was at the cancer doctors yesterday. Because apparently having a tumor is concerning. You know what's more concerning to me? The fact I haven't updated in weeks. I WILL get chapter five out soon if it's the last thing I do.
doodle number three of the appendicitis saga. Still projecting my recovery from appendicitis onto Ryland Grace.
You can tell they removed an organ bc my stomach dips inward on one side now and I find that very neat. I don't question why it's not on the side where the appendix is
Realizing I never shared Eraser on here. So here she is! Still pondering what her mate looks like. Though I might just make her mate one of the eridians I've made for my bloodymary fic.
Appendicitis saga update number 2, turns out there was a tumor on my appendix that might have caused the appendicitis???? It got removed with the appendix but still wild to learn about after the fact.
So once again forcing Ryland Grace to experience my troubles. Tumor on HIS appendix !!!!!
