More below the cut
A/U where everyone in iron lung gets dumped on Erid by an eldritch deity
Rocky: (looks at entire population of the iron lung universe. Looks at grace.) Grace no tell Rocky about human asexual reproduction. Grace must slow down to many human to fast will destroy ecosystem. Human will be classified as invasive species!
Grace: What!? I had nothing to do with this! Human's can't just make a 1000 people appear!
Rocky: Grace underestimates himself despite evidence to the contrary. Work on confidence. For children sake if not self. (Looks at mutated Simon) No offense, Grace, but you make a mistake with that one. It looks weird.
things in phm that really tickled me as a marine biologist:
the concept of star-eating microbes causing a crisis and the solution being the introduction of space wolves to space yellowstone to control the space elk population. i love a good trophic cascade
dr ryland grace immediately pitching "turn the spaceship into a giant centrifuge to generate gravity" and then not balancing his actual centrifuge later on
the entire "life is reason" scene really
grace forgetting to open the mystery alien container in a fume hood AND immediately sticking his nose in it. if we did this in chemistry lab we were executed on the spot
academia drama being one of the cornerstones of grace's character
grace switching through every spectrum setting on the microscope to try to see into the astrophages and not being able to (relatable)
also: the astrophage dying and grace going "ohhh it died..." (very relatable)
grace having his not-scientist buddy Carl to give him frank solutions when he's overthinking. yes, often the solution is just to put the box in another box
copious duct tape usage
just sticking a filter into the path of the petrova line to collect astrophage goop
eva going "so it's alive" when grace tells them the astrophage are moving, and him being like "WELL ok that could be for a lot of reasons" in the tone of someone who doesn't even know where to start explaining why that's a hasty assumption
grace referring to the first new astrophage as his and carl's baby multiple times (HIGHLY relatable)
humanity's greatest hope being a teacher. humanity being saved by grace's ability to find novel ways to communicate well with others -- something that made him excellent as an educator, and enabled him to bond with rocky
I was thinking about if Rocky caught the AT-5 flu. And haven't slept in two days. No one is safe from my Iron Lung bullshit :D
i love the horror of the blood eel's character so much.
the fact that she's still calling for ava to help her when she sees a submarine, says she's been looking for her for ages, is probably screaming and begging for rescue the entire time- but can't be understood unless you spend enough time in the blood ocean, unless you're just as doomed as her.
her mentioning that she heard the submarine get pulled up the first time, that surely there must be a way to leave, which means the first time she caught the sm-13 in her mouth she was only trying to get home, was desperately trying to hold onto the one chance she thought she had for rescue.
her quiet grief when she realizes that the convict inside has only one bar of air left, and the sorrow in her voice when she says he's not going to make it. trying to be gentle when she tells him to control his breathing, that it's not the worst fate down here.
her clear disgust at what the butcher did to the Filament station, her horror that an entire station is lost but still not being able to just swim away from the only human contact she's had in who knows how long.
elsie, the speaker, the research lead who has held onto her sanity despite everything, who knows the full scope of the blood ocean, the voice of reason- asking so fucking quietly if he'd give anything to survive. knowing what it's done to her, knowing that she'll condemn him to darkness forever. asking if he would like to live on and then sending him to the light to be mutated into something new and survive by leaving his humanity behind.
elle, the whisper, still aware of what's happening even as she goes insane, knowing that her mind has been burst by trying to comprehend the pinhole god. furious that the eye has chosen simon instead after all her suffering.
elsie who now remembers the full horror of it, who knows that if the humans left start making food from the blood, it will slowly warp them all into monsters like her, who knows that the information in the sm-8 cannot reach the surface- even if it means killing ava.
both of them screaming at simon to stop in the end, only trying to kill him because they're trying to save him from turning into them, because can he not see that the truth will drive what's left of humanity insane, can he not see that the pinhole god wants him to fuse with the tree so that he stays down there like them forever- swimming alone in the darkness of the blood ocean, terrified and in agony, with no hope of rescue.
Can he not see that death is a mercy?
I have the black box data. All of it.
After sifting through hundreds of photos... I have realized that every time Simon takes a photo in the SM-13, he's pulling up a frame to a stop motion animation.
And it can be played back as video.
So, I took each black box photo and compiled them together. You can now watch Simon's entire journey from the SM-13's camera like found footage.
You can also gain access to Simon's amazing photography portfolio from my master reference project, as well as the video for yourself.
Please, have a watch. It's terrifying. I feel like a C.O.I. lab tech delving into something I really shouldn't, and it's a blast!
iron lung is good because on one hand it's like "hey if there was an ocean of blood and we threw a guy down there would that be fucked up or what" but also it's about humanity and the want to survive and the need to survive and what is worth the cost of a life but it's also about the inhuman treatment of criminals and where we draw the line but it's also about simon saying "it's bigger than me" during his self sacrificial act for humanity it's also about "you deserve your freedom. i'm sorry i can't give you that." it's about oh my god i love cosmic horror it's about seeing such an incredibly beautiful and artistic and human and independent film prevail it's about everything and it's about what you are when you're left at the edge of nothing. so yeah the movie is ok
everyone on letterboxd for iron lung has the attention span of. i don't even know. if you don't like cosmic horror and slower paced films why even bother man. go watch something else. what is going on </3
I need to draw them more
Rewatching phm for the third time and Stratt is lowkey growing on me (at least sheâs not growing in me) sheâs so silly <3
Wall-e showing Simon his boot plant <3
as someone who used to work at a build a bear workshop and loved it, I bestow my greatest honor on the most recent hyperfixation:
single dad simon doesnât often get the chance to splurge a little extra money for his kid, but when he does, he likes giving his kid fun new experiences that he never got as a child (whether it be because of his weird cult upbringing, his mother passing away, or the time he spent in juvie). today, after getting a nice tip/bonus/commission, he decides to take his kid to the mall and end the day with visiting the build a bear workshop.
ryland is a teacher, loves it more than anything, but he does have that three month summer window of nothing to do. so he picks up the odd job here and there, and this summer he gets a gig at the local mallâs babw. itâs nice getting to interact with kids, itâs easy and fun work, and he wears a cute little apron all day (that rocky got a picture of him in as soon as he was hired). making stuffed toys, dressing them up, giving them names and new homes, itâs not exactly changing the world, but itâs the act of making memories that ryland finds really special and rewarding. when a young kid shyly approaches him at the gentle encouragement of their dad, holding out the empty skin of an axolotl, ryland gives the kid a kind smile, âhey, ready to make your new friend?â
simon swears his heart is gonna give out, watching this very patient, very sweet, very pretty man help his kid through the stuffing process and heart ceremony. his kid isnât necessarily shy, but falls on the quieter side like their father. sometimes it takes a bit of coaxing for them to come out of their shell, and this man must be capable of magic, the way his kid opens up and engages with him near instantly. the whole process only takes a few minutes, but it clearly makes his kidâs day, the way theyâre giggling and squeezing their new stuffed friend close by the end of it. simon eyes the guyâs name tag, ârylandâ, and thanks him as his kid starts wandering off to find a pair of pajamas for âstarryâ as theyâve chosen to name it. ryland stands, brushing some stray string and fluff off his apron, and beams, âhappy to help! if you need anything, let me know.â
and simon doesnât know what boldness takes over him, not to mention the fact itâs terribly inappropriate, but he blurts, âyour number.â
the other man blushes a bright pink, stuttering, âs-sorry?â
ânever mind, sorry, Iââ
âyou want my number?â ryland seems more baffled by the implication than the actual act itself, which perhaps simon should take as a good sign.
he hesitantly nods, clarifying, âyou donât have to. youâre working, I shouldnât haveââ
âno, wait, itâsââ and then ryland spits out a string of numbers. which he has to repeat when simon pulls out his phone and stares at it for a long second.
at that point simonâs kid (who he has been keeping an eye on) has found a onesie with a cute print on it that they like, and is dragging their dad towards the mini beans display, and ryland gives the pair a friendly wave as they step away.
after rylandâs shift (and enduring the relentless teasing from his co-worker who witnessed said event, ilyukhina, who then told everyone what she saw), he spots a text from an unknown number:
- hey
- itâs the guy who asked for your number earlier
- Iâm simon btw
ryland smiles.
- nice to meet you simon, Iâm ryland, but everyone calls me grace
- nice to meet you grace :)
and simon attaches a photo of his kid cuddling the axolotl they made together, at what looks to be a cozy diner.
- thank you again, I donât think theyâre letting go of it anytime soon
ryland coos at the cute picture, which provokes the curiosity of his best friend peering over his shoulder and scoffing, âyou are too young to be a father.â
âwhaâ Iâm notâ rocky, Iâm 37ââ
I've seen a lot of people mention how eridians being ambush predators are used to being perfectly hidden just from settling in among a pile of rocks but with how grace can see light would easily be able to pick them out, I would like to add that even if the colour matched once Grace got to know what a certain eridian looks like he would still be able to pick them out based on their shape, texture, 'smaller rocks' which are their legs etc.
Hell even if he didn't know them that well I'm sure he could pick up on the signifiers that they're not an actual rock, (the smaller rocks indicating legs, their coloured patches from their mate, the engravings etc) on one hand it's almost like a magic trick and on the other hand I bet it installs them with a looming dread; this inefficient leaky space blob can find them even though they are the best at hiding. Now add humans being persistence predators and can track for days without break. That's some nightmare fuel right there.
my contribution to the bloodymary fandom. and a thank you to @oof-ouch-yikes for keeping us hungry bloodymary fans fed. go read their fic, itâs really good and this animatic is based off of it!

Survived my exams but may have given myself carpal tunnel in the processâŠ
So enthralled with the bloodymary ship that while reading the phm book everytime I start a new page I expect Simon to show up. Iâve not watched iron lung yet
