you may have your chance one day 🙏
THERE'S A STORY???? OH YEAH I LOVE WHEN I DISCOVER THAT KINDA STUFF BY ACCIDENT
ever since h:pii i started looking for narratives in music and it turns out its a lot more fun just to stumble on them but now its hard to turn that part of my brain off...
my top ones atm are The Bad Place, Rubio's Lament & Trust Me, I'm Lying and they make sure to get really wedged in there so i have to listen to them over and over
i hope i'll be able to see them one day!! give us brits something to look forward to

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O
Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O
Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans
Tbf, supposedly humans are stripy but we can’t see it.
Some birds and other animals can supposedly see our stripes, which makes me want to ask my pet bird what kind of stripy I am

who on earth decided that an ADHD assessment requires a self-reported 100 question survey of vagueish answers
like you understand how painfully ironic this is, right
I’ve seen a couple people fill out ADHD questionnaires on paper and it is the messiest thing cause they mark and cross out like three answers each question like yeah what did the assessors expect 😭
I’ve been going for autism + ADHD and one of the reasons it’s taken me nearly 5 months to get around to it is because they made the instructions on how you’re supposed to gather it for the doctors and hand it in WAY TOO VAGUE and I have no idea what I’m doing.
Do I print it out? Do I email it? How much do I fill in? Am I even meant to know this kind of medical stuff about me? When I hand it in do I put it in the letterbox or give it to reception? Do I need a doctors appointment to hand it in??? Do I need an envelope???
i’ve been extremely lucky that the random telehealth therapist my insurance provided last fall SPECIALIZED in adhd and how it can be underdiagnosed for afab people 😭 i had a suspicion for a while but it seemed like so much work, but she’s been able to push me through all the convoluted steps
i was also discouraged from pursuing a diagnosis when i saw a psychiatrist in 2022 and he told me i had all the symptoms of ADHD but couldn’t possibly have it due to having high grades in school as a teenager 🥀 and i was diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder instead. antidepressant medication went horribly back then and screwed a lot of things up until i was able to stop, but my therapist pointed out Hey That Was Likely The Wrong Medication 😭 shoutout my therapist
I had the opposite where I went to a private therapist/specialist (I’m UK-based so this is unusual) a few years back to manage work stress + seek an ADHD diagnosis and she was really skeptical. She just kinda?? waved off every reason/sign I gave??
I’m guessing you have a similar experience too where the lack of motivation/task paralysis gets mistaken for depression and honestly what clicked for me was that my depression would get better but I still couldn’t Do Anything unless the conditions were Perfect and I was like Hmm… also everyone around me kept telling me I had blatant signs…
The high grades thing is here too. People I know with ADHD get denied professional help & benefits because of things like pursuing degrees… 10 years ago. Not even mentioning how during much of my education (while yielding hopelessly mid results on paper) I was HIGHLY masking and pushing my limits way too far just to hold it together and I’m sure it’s the same for a lot of AFAB people

had the privilege of sitting in the front row for Iron Lung
Yeah I basically had to see it a second time bc i genuinely might as well have had my eyes closed when i saw it first time front row. Couldn’t process anything happening onscreen. Gigachad Mark was great but at what cost
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this so. Anyone else think the person the creature was before was a Filament Station native or something similar?
Why would she pry and care so much about Filament Station when she was chatting with him? Why does she suddenly turn hostile (‘maybe you deserve this’) and become quite prejudiced towards Simon once he begrudgingly reveals what happened?
Actually, rewatching the ending of Iron Lung, I think I finally understand what happened.
The final shots we see of Simon show him being assimilated by the blood ocean. We hear Simon's screaming gradually distort into a roar, and there are fang-like teeth growing on the side of his face:
The blood is mutating him into another monstrous fish. This implies the voice speaking to Simon had once been human too, but had since become the monster we've seen throughout the film, having burst out of (not bitten into) the SM-8.
The voice says, "We can save everyone, within us!!" which makes sense if we recall the line from earlier in the film about the blood ("It's us"). It's stated that the blood is human blood, and may even be what remains of the humans that were taken in the Quiet Rapture. As people (like the woman from the SM-8, and like Simon now) are sent down into the blood ocean, are irradiated, and mutate, they are absorbed into a sort of hive-mind connection with the blood itself. (It's sort of an antithesis to the repeated refrain of "It's bigger than us"...no, it literally is us.) Simon and the ship are already part of it--an iron lung, built by what is found in blood (perhaps distilled from it) and refilled with oxygen as if the blood is a body using it to breathe.
Then we follow Simon under the surface of the blood and see the following shots (I've taken down the saturation for clarity). The tree pendant cracks and shoots out tendrils:
Simon resurfaces, and his eye (below) flashes and changes color, becoming more like the giant eye we've seen throughout the film. His mutation seems to be progressing.
It cuts to black and the voice says, "We live." Then it cuts to an exterior shot of an explosion, ripping through the monster, and dark shapes start to shoot out from the center of where the ship had been.
Some people have interpreted this as the completion of Simon's transformation, but it isn't. This isn't a fish or even a tentacled sea creature. It's a tree. The trunk is the upper portion, and the roots are the tendrils spreading out towards the screen.
Simon's choice to hold onto hope allowed what was intended for evil to be used for good. The piece he carried of the Last Tree touched the blood, and, as if to fulfill what Eden had said ("our bodies will become the soil"), used it to grow, destroying the monsters as it did. The blood can nourish something now ("we live"), as it is meant to, even if (just as with the data) we don't get to see what it becomes.
Simon is gone, but the Last Tree lives again. And thanks to him, maybe humanity can too.
As an aside, you can see what he fully transforms into more clearly early on in the film. It’s the figure he keeps on hallucinating, the one hiding around the corner & sitting in his chair.
Simon...

I LOST SO MUCH SLEEP TRYING TO GET THIS DONE LORD- BUT I finished it!!! I'm pretty happy with this one. I was unsure about it at first bc I didn't like how I drew Simon the first time, but I redraw him and now he looks more like Mark!
I freaking loved this scene with the Shadowman. The design is insane, so I drew it from memory lol! But after watching Iron Lung again, I had to draw this scene. It was so creepy.
Guys are you proud of me for drawing a background 😭
Anywaysssss I love this movie. I can't wait to see it again! More fanart will be coming!
On my third rewatch, I did my best to mark all of the visible coordinates seen within the SM-13. I know it's not accurate to the game map, but I did my best.
additional notes taken
something i havent seen anyone talk about is the crack in the glass. maybe im looking to deep, but it splinters and spreads and looks like a tree, at least in my opinion. and so much of the movie talks about eden, the final tree, the death of the final tree. so idk i just kept staring at the cracks and seeing a tree and wondering when id watch the tree die and take simon with it
HELP i was looking at the iron lung screenings and it glitched out so now mark is just stuck alone in the middle of the blood ocean
