love that Grace dresses business casual as a teacher, but when the astronauts are touring the place, he jas to cover his silly science shirt, implying that he thinks you need to dress appropriately to work at a middle school but not when working ina high tech lab on a high stakes international collaboration to save the world

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

Thinking of a scenario where they really do pull Simon up, but they decide to dispose of him anyway.

Unbeknownst to the C.O.I., the hive mind in the blood ocean was just like: "nah. That one's already mine. His blood is my blood."

So, they dispose of him. It's a whole deal. He's hazardous waste. It's ugly and brutal and they put him down screaming.

But, Simon wakes up in a body bag completely fucking wrong. Like an alternate. Like one of those things from No, I'm Not a Human.

Do you think if someone from the C.O.I. shoots him, a bunch of freaky blood worms fall out or something? Oops! All Mutation :)

He's not dangerous. Not really. Just sort of... idles. Reacts like a person, walks and talks like one... but, there's no way he should be alive in any capacity. Nobody can get rid of him. Locking him in a room doesn't do anything. He's always somewhere else the moment eyes are off of him.

Doesn't eat. Doesn't drink.

Acts like he's waiting for something he has no ability to describe with human words. Babbles about things nobody can make sense of. Knows things he shouldn't. Talkative but in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable.

There's no anger. No determination. It's not Simon. It's just not.

for everyone in the notes lamenting that this guy is poisonous: they are not! they're just pretty :) since they're a glass frog, their major defense mechanism is being translucent and hiding their blood while they sleep so they look extra translucent and blend in with leaves <3
