I see a lot of "Simon meeting Grace and Rocky, and immediately body slams Grace to the floor". I see a lot of "Simon meeting Grace and Rocky and believing that he'd dead/Grace is an angel". There's nothing wrong with either option, both are equally fun to play around with.
But you know what I want to see?
Simon behaving.
Simon cooperating, following every 'command' (aka, Grace asking Simon to let them help). Simon staying in the med bay. Letting Armando patch his wounds. Answering Grace and Rocky's questions even if it makes him uncomfortable. Simon being willing to do anything they ask, no matter how scared or confused he is.
Bonus points if they pull him from the SM-13 and keep it on board. They actually just want to study it, but Simon is fully convinced that it's an unspoken threat. 'Behave, or we'll put you back.'
Give me a Simon who spent the last days of his 'life' fighting those who were giving him orders. Days battling, days growling and snarling and snapping at anything that got too close. Give me a Simon who's tired. Who just wants to be left alone, but who suddenly has this guy asking him all kinds of uncomfortable questions about what happened to him. Who's terrified of Rocky, but lets the alien watch him sleep because heck, he wouldn't trust himself either.
Give me a broken abused shelter dog of a man, who bows his head and follows the one holding the leash because he's too exhausted to fight a losing battle anymore. A Simon who doesn't realize that Grace isn't holding any leash. Give me a Simon who, despite Grace's best efforts, responds to any and all requests with a meek "Yes, Sir." because he doesn't want to know what these strangers will do to him if he doesn't address them with proper respect.
He doesn't want to go back. He never wants to go back. And he'll do whatever these strangers want to ensure they never have a reason to punish him. The first time he breaks, the first time he says no to someone, Simon is screaming, crying, tucking himself into a corner as tightly as he can, all while begging Grace and Rocky not to send him back. And that's when Grace realizes.

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products
Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive
finally drawing something so self-indulgent that i have to share it with tumblr . drawing markiplier again after like 10 years is an experience so sacred to someone like me who was on the internet in 2015
When a young child, not yet 5 years old, contracts smallpox after surviving the horrors of war, injustice, and hundreds of deadly nights, amidst the sounds of planes and tanks, this is not a passing or simple illness
Imagine your child contracting this disease?! I'm writing this because my brother Ahmed was diagnosed with it on July 30, 2024, and his cries and suffering broke my heart. We searched every pharmacy and couldn't find any medication to ease his pain.
And so a new chapter of suffering has begun, a suffering I don't want to become a habit. Some of the same pimples have started to reappear on my brother Ahmed's back, and I ask you to stand with us and donate. Instead of money coming in to buy food, we're now spending it on medicine and displacement expenses. Your donation, however small, is a candle in the darkness, especially after donations to our fundraising campaign completely stopped. Donate to us via PayPal or GFM
