Are you currently suffering from The Character?

there's this ridiculously soulmatey line in the phm book when grace is just kinda idly wondering aloud about why human and eridian technology are at such similar phases of development, and without thinking about it much rocky responds "has to be, or you and I would not meet." which he goes on to explain as (paraphrasing here) "if either planet were less advanced then we couldn't have built interstellar ships, but if either were more advanced then we could have dealt with the astrophage problem from home, so we'd have to be at around the same level to both be here, that's the only way it would make sense." what it sounds like though is "oh, that's easy: the two of us had to meet so the history of both of our entire species lined up in preparation to make it possible." what kind of tau-ceti-crossed red-petrova-line-of-fate nonsense is this.

previews for a comic I finished yesterday. 🌌

It's a tiny little moment, but the way Simon's breath stirs his hair the instant after the first oxygen light goes out stuck in my brain

[willowwyrd]

Sorry i've been holding back the demons but some of y'all need to watch the fucking movie I just saw someone say "Simon probably never learned to read :("

Brother there is a Whole Scene and joke. Dedicated to the fact that Simon can, in fact, read.

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

You are NOT being a hater. I've seen multiple fics do this, too. I've also been holding back the demons, but this is also my Opinion Blog, and I can do what I want.

Sorry, I just- hold on a minute. I gotta put on my Big Boy Media Literacy Degree Voice for this.

You know how all of America sort of stereotypes the South to be full of hillbilly illiterate red-pilled gun owners?

That's what the COI is doing to Eden. The COI believe themselves to be intellectually superior and speaking to a sub-human. They treat Simon like an actual animal on multiple occasions. It's a bunch of self-proclaimed scientists talking down to an agrarian religious man. There's a lot of prejudice happening, and it's not just because of who Simon is, or what he did, although, that does play a part in it.

There's a great prose by @antilocaprine on this exact topic here, which I recommend everybody read before they write for Simon.

Tossing around characterization ideas that reinforce the discrimination Simon faced in the movie is some bullshit, in my opinion. I think this is one of the writing topics I cannot be flexible about.

And before you ask me, "what discrimination?" I mean, look:

It's not about Simon being a convict. These people have enslaved their incarcerated populace. They know well enough that their convicts are capable and useful in job settings under the right pressure, and they abuse the fuck out of that.

No. These guys think Simon can't tell his own ass from a rocket launcher because he's from Eden, specifically. They very explicitly use the word Eden in a derogatory manner in the film.

So, when I see people write him struggling to read, it's an instant click-away. I can't stand it. Let our lad intellectually flourish. He's SO bright and resourceful.

June’s not over yet

[illegalvampire]

two extremely traumatized characters finally, finally kissing after chapters upon chapters of slow burn and both being more than a little weepy about it. kisses that get more and more desperate, finally, finally, i've been so alone, so alone for so long, finally, i have you, i have you here, tears streaming down their cheeks as hands move to cup them. wiping the tears from each other's eyes with the softest, gentlest touch and leaving kisses where they had once been. yeah. yeah, thats the good stuff

[spooky-beanz]

The art for my Patron Saints set is finally complete! Foil print versions are on their way to me and will be available for sale on my Etsy soon for anyone interested, so keep an eye on this post for updates if you want prints! I’m so happy with how both of these came out. I wanted them to be drastically different in tone while being very similar in all the ways that matter. They’re both holding the hope of their respective universes in their hands <3. Details below the cut!

When I found something like a scale texture to use on Simon I was so fucking hyped dude. Oh my god. Procreate texture brush ‘Ferneaux’ I owe you my LIFE.

[oof-ouch-yikes]

Torture nexus it is but your fic is pretty popular… odds are he HAS read it. Like if he’s read a lot. Yours is pretty high up on the list man
