partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that

Mr. & Mrs. Smith AU with both Grace and Simon convinced the other is an average civilian, each working as elite spies for opposing agencies. Domestic, married, content with their undercover lives until it explodes in their faces.

[child-of-grace]

Grace, who specializes in heist work - in and out unnoticed. A glorified thief. His clumsiness is genuine but when he's working, something comes over him. Some second skin that navigates the messy, uncoordinated version of himself.

Simon, who specializes in misdirection - look at him, don't look there. An unconventional honeypot. His reserved nature is genuine, but it's easier to pretend when it protects those he loves. A heavy facade filled with smiles and jokes and half-truths.

Grace, who Simon is able to be quiet with.

Simon, who Grace is able to be unrestrained with.

"it's stupid to take two movies that arent about romance and making it about shipping" i think its actually beautiful that people are engaging in the themes of the text and examining the characters' stories and drawing parallels. i think its great that people care about fresh new scifi and want to explore the possibilities of space and the nature of sacrifice and finding a kindred being in the vast, strange universe. and then making them gay kiss because its fun. hell yea.

I love the headcanon that once back on Erid, Rocky refuses to give up the astrophage solution until his starving dying alien friend is safe.

It's even funnier to think that he never told Grace about this.

Picture this.

Grace, recording a video diary for future human visitors or something:

"Oh boy, and the ERIDIANS are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! They've done so much for me, I can't even put into words how grateful I am! Once we arrived on Erid, their top priority was saving my life despite the fact that their planet was dying! Me, a stranger, someone who doesn't even belong here! They went above and beyond for me, and all just because they're SUCH amazing, caring people. Right, Rock?"

Rocky, having flashbacks to the time he yelled "STAY THE FUCK BACK, NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THE TAUMOEBA! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? ALIEN ISN'T PRIORITY? FUCK YOU! ROCKY WILL KEEP TAUMOEBA FOR HIMSELF! ROCKY WILL BLOW UP ALL OF ERID! ROCKY WILL....":

"....sure."

MY REVERSE BLOODYMARY AU, TAKE IT GO GO GO!!! I really want to lean into Ryland Grace mad scientist for this thank you very much.

RYLAND GRACE GETS HIS GLASSES REVERSE AU COMIC 👀

In this AU Simon and Adrian get stuck in their progress as neither of them have the expert6 that Grace and Rocky have. When Grace gets there he's able to start piecing together the notes left by strats team and then there's another blip- LOOOL ROCKY IS HERE!!! Adrian and their crew is taking too long so hes on a rescue mission. Then it's GRACE AND ROCKY SAVE STARSSSS and a one way trip to Erid 😮‍💨♥️

Little more context to this post!!

I don’t actually know how to use Tumblr. The last time I used this I quit before the 2018 nuke.

[anarqueeen]

yeah the doctor said they found the source of my guilt and quiet agony deep within my core. Yeah turns out there really is something physically and fundamentally wrong with me that I've been carrying my entire life. No they said they're not gonna remove it. Said its an "elective surgery" so insurance won't cover it. Anyway how are you

[galacticsabc]

Go! Rocky, Go!

[scribble-dee-vee]

Seeing a bunch of writing posts lately like “it’s okay if you only wrote a couple hundred words today :))”

As someone with a full time job, diverse hobbies, and a commitment to proper rest/self care, I would amend that. It’s okay if you don’t write anything at all on MOST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. You’re still a writer if you’re passionate about creating stories and putting words on paper when time allows. Life is busy and full of possibility, and that’s beautiful, actually. Kill the hypercapitalist productivity demon in your head.

All I want is a fic where Simon meets Ryland and Rocky and his reaction amounts to jumping up and down and cheering “I WAS RIGHT!!! SUCK IT EDEN!!! I WAS RIGHT!!!!!! You bastards don’t know SHIT!!!!!!!”

please it would be so funny. Simon “no one on Eden likes to think this way but doesn’t it make more sense if a few spaceships disappeared instead of everything else” iron lung is feeling SO vindicated what.

Grace 🤝 Simon <- having an unpopular theory bc you questioned something everyone else blindly believed

Yes & no by Natalie wee

And what if I said this was Simon's perspective of Bloodymary

[starquas4r]

Ok but what if I said it went both ways?

What if they both thought the other was too good for them.
