🚨iron lung typical gore warning🚨

I really like bloodymary <3 don't get me wrong I love the hopecore stuff, but I also quite like to think the horror follows Simon, and they have to work really hard to get rid of it.

AU summary under the cut

SUMMARY:

Grace and Rocky find Simon preserved half alive in the tree that grows from his pendant, and they take him back to the ship under quarantine, heavily irradiated, but Grace is desperately hopeful he might be able to save the only other human he might ever see again. Rocky is VERY unsure if this is a good choice. Simon is convinced the two of them are an elaborate, maybe indulgent, hallucination.

After weeks of tests and medical checkups, Simon is cleared from quarantine, still technically WITH radiation symptoms, but nothing that will hurt the others. Grace shows him the stars, and Simon feels very conflicted about it.

The longer Simon spends on the ship, the more signs of The Blood Ocean begin showing up through the Hail Mary, and though Grace was convinced he could help Simon work through HIS hallucinations, he wasn't prepared to start experiencing a very similar reality.

That's about as far as I've gotten but I think it's more of a haunting than a They're Actually Dying. I think Rocky makes for a very grounding presence in this AU, since he's accustomed to crazy heat and his xenonite bubble would make it easier to tell the difference between a somatic hallucination and reality.

part 1, part 2, part 3

very short one today, this is like,,, an interlude between chapters i guess, let's call it part 3.5

posting this mostly to ramble about the amalgamation of thoughts that make up this eldritch AU:

the idea is that the eldritch thing here isn't the iron lung god, or the eel, it is literally the tree that exploded out at the end of the movie

it gained consciousness/became an interdimensional eldritch being (through handwavey fuckery, idk) the moment it exploded out and it killed the eel

also healed simon,, lizard style, he obv aint human anymoe

the reason it is so fond of simon is because they fused and it gained simons memories (and most prominently of his fond and reverent memories of the tree on eden that the tree came out of)

(also of him taking care of the tree in some way, whether its tending to the soil or spilling blood to it)

somewhere in that logic this giant interdimensional plant thought "ah yes this lump of flesh gave me life and my freedom and it yearns for freedom therefore i shall search for a suitable habitat"

then it spent a few moments and an eternity scrolling through universes where it believed its charge would be happiest, found poor grace, saw the same cinematic parallels tumblr saw and said "aight thats the one"

it connected them like,,, cosmically

(not really relevant to the plot but it infected and changed grace the moment he reached back to it in his dreams to become like simon bc the lifespan difference between ryland and rocky devastates me on a daily basis)

(i don't think anyone mentioned it in the comments of part 3 (or at least i didnt see anyone mentioning it) but one of my favorite little details i added is that the tree roots gradually wrap around graces arm and around his ring finger) (hell yea, symbolism) (so i gave the other end of the tether to simon now :) )

another reason for the interlude is i realized that everything i wrote down was in graces pov so i figured id add a bit of simon before i wrap things up (even if hes unconcious)

thanks for listening to my ted talk, if anyone writes something about this begging on my knees send me a link, i find this stupid concept so interesting

[tatumsdrawing]

An interaction at the Renaissance Festival that won’t leave me so I made a comic about it

The conversation was much longer than this, but we mostly talked about his hat which wasn’t the interesting part of the interaction. Shout out to my friend for being a real one- I have a habit of letting random ppl just keep talking to me cause I’m intrigued to see what will happen
