Princess peach is my muse and the leader of the cult that I’m, uh, in

[spider-rose-6]

Buff princess peach is very important to me

[redstonedust]

what if your doppelganger loved being you more than you ever loved being yourself. they're better at being you and everyone loves them and it feels almost selfish to want your life back. i want clone horror but the horror is that the thing trying to replace you is also the person you always wanted to be.

[redstonedust]

and it is imperative that it ends with killing the better version of yourself with your bare hands btw.

[robbironi]

@spider-rose-6 did i already tag you in this as were there originals

[spider-rose-6]

no but we’ve probably talked about it on one of our seven hour long brainstorming calls 😭

[spider-rose-6]

Meant to draw Ryland Grace and instead princess peach appeared in front of me

[spider-rose-6]

My favorite thing about being an artist is that any art kid can immediately tell which popular artist YouTuber I looked up to when I was 12

[spider-rose-6]

Yk sometimes I think about how eridians are probably way too dense to swim and the concept would feel similar to how birds can only fly bc they’re so much lighter than humans, and I wonder if Grace trying to swim in his dome would absolutely ASTOUND the eridians, who think it’s completely ridiculous and unfair that he can basically FLY

[spider-rose-6]

You are my core.

[spider-rose-6]

Bringing this back rq bc the amount of love I’ve gotten for it both here and on Pinterest has literally blown me away and I love everyone who has ever even given it a quick look, thank you SO MUCH 🥹🫶

[spider-rose-6]

Every time I go a long time without drawing I forget I can draw and then I step back from a new project and without fail I’m always just like “yo wtf this ain’t half bad”

[home-and-having-tea]

One of my favorite Bloodymary tropes is Simon dropping some random childhood trauma lore and mandated-reporter-middle-school-teacher Grace going:

[kuemori]

finding out your oomfs live in the same state as you is really Scary because then going outside starts to feel like this

[spider-rose-6]

@robbironi this is how it feels every since I realized that I share a zipcode with Him

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

I think a lot of people are completely skipping over how much Grace likes his space. I keep seeing, "oOoO it's been so long since another human has been around. Oh noooo~~~"

No. No no no.

I want more "could you give me a freakin' minute" snarky crashout Ryland vs. "if you leave I will start Experiencing The Horrors but I'm also going to crashout if you go too near me" complicated Simon.

I want more Ryland being boisterous, who's really good at taking charge. The guy FLAUNTS being "Doctor-Captain Ryland Grace" to Stratt. He WENT FISHING in a PLANET'S ATMOSPHERE WHILE EVERYTHING WAS ON FIRE. HE GOT HIMSELF FIRED BECAUSE HE POPPED OFF AT THE MOUTH. HE HAS AN EGO. GIVE IT TO HIM.

I want more Simon, who had his ego beat the fuck out of him, and is actively learning to try and gain that back again, because he used to be a prick on Eden, and now he's scared he'll turn back into that monster if he lets his self control go. Scared something Bad Will Happen either to him or because of him. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

WHERE IS SOFTSPOKEN POLITE SIMON WITH A TERRIBLE PAST AND ROWDY VODKA-SLAMMING-IN-SUNGLASSES USED-TO-BE-A-PRICK GRACE WITH A SOMEWHAT NORMAL BACKGROUND ??? The background-not-matching-the-personality trope is RIGHT THERE guys.

I want more Simon who thinks Ryland is a delusional liar vs. Ryland who can clearly see the signs of psychosis in Simon, and he might just be right. (I love you, Losing Streak by AO3 user rosysoleil)

I want Simon who has been trained to body pain and yet still fucking cries like a bitch (because he was, and he does). Simon is NOT stoic. HE IS NOT. Simon's got a pokerface and it's terrible.

I want more meet-ugly Punch Your Lights Out While Squealing Like A Bitch Ryland Grace vs. K.O.'d By A Whimpy White Guy Simon, who's more apologetic about the incident than Ryland is.

LOOK AT RYLAND'S ARM. LOOK. DUDE HAS A SLEEPER BUILD. It might be an accident (or totally justified self-defense) but, as stated by @anne-jordan in this post, Ryland "It's been a while since I've taken pills from strangers" Grace would be swinging back.

I want more BITCH FOR BITCH Simon and Rocky who think arguing with each other is fun, because Simon's sense of humor involves being mean (being rowdy with the boys on Eden was common) and Rocky is so with it.

I want more "sexuality crisis" Ryland Grace who thought he was straight vs. "dude labels went out of style like 230 years ago" True Neutral Future-Man Simon. SIMON'S THE CHILL ONE. SIMON DON'T GAF

I want more "forced proximity doesn't mean we have to fuck" stories!!! Turn that trope on its head!!!

I want more sexually complicated/aromantic-but-sex-positive Simon that ISN'T because of his trauma!!! Maybe he's just Like That, and that's okay!

Also, hey guys, guess what? Simon can just be a straight dude. These can just be straight dudes. Best buds. Guys. Healthy male friendships. HEALTHY MALE FRIENDSHIPS. It doesn't have to be yaoi all the time.

Give me variation. Give me underused dynamics. Challenge fandom with your writing. I dare you. I DARE YOU.

Does anyone hear me. Is this mic on??

All of this is /pos /crazy passionate writer tone btw I am NOT yelling at you guys in any form of anger.

[spider-rose-6]

I almost cried tears of joy reading this

[spider-rose-6]

“I’m an astronaut, you’re the moon/I stare at you, I sing to you” but it’s Ryland hoping that his brother found peace and Colt spending his nights staring up at the sky knowing that one of the stars up there is his brother’s grave

[samsheadraws]

i finished the audiobook in 4 days, saw the movie the day after, and have dragged everyone else i know into the Project Hail Mary pit by their ankles. so, y'know, i feel TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THEM!!!!

my drawings are a fusion of the book and movie aesthetically, but I decide to keep Rocky's little shirt + the horrible burn scarring of the "lets shove Rocky in the airlock to save him" scene.

i also designed this sticker, and if anyone wants to buy one, lmk:

[spider-rose-6]

Literally adore this whole thing but especially your take on his burn scars OMG

[bronzeplates]

a non-canon mini comic for fun

just to reiterate, this is NOT canon to the comic. or to either movie probably lol.

just love the idea that the reason simon didn't listen to the written stuff was because it sucked to read (and not, like, either defiance or a purposeful disregard for the sake of survival)

i feel like you can tell through how little i fuck with grace's glasses in the usual comic that i wear glasses IRL. if my glasses aren't perfectly aligned on my face i am SHOVING them back in place. ryan gosling obviously does not wear glasses regularly

[robbironi]

if my understanding of time dilation is correct, then a world where Ryland makes it back to Earth is one where he and Colt aren’t the same age anymore.

anyways i think thats devastating

[spider-rose-6]

And Ryland would be like twenty years younger too, so the ghost of Ryland Grace just comes out of the Hail Mary and Stratt/Colt feel like barely any time has passed at all

[spider-rose-6]

Consider a universe where Simon and Jack try so hard to work out and Jack feels like Simon is maybe the only person who he feels truly normal around. He just gets to feel like a normal person. And for once in his life he doesn’t feel like there’s something wrong with him and he’s just constantly and desperately pursing the feeling he gets when he’s around Simon until he burns himself out realizing that he cannot survive exclusively on that high that Simon gives him. And he realizes that Simon can’t be his cure

Anyways can you tell I have the cure by Olivia Rodrigo playing on repeat

[basicbutohwell]

was reading this trying to figure out who the fuck we’d just added to the ever-expanding crossover list for bloody mary only to realize you meant simon paladino not simon iron lung

i’m a traitor

[spider-rose-6]

STOP BC I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEB BC I WAS CONFUSING MYSELF WHEN I WROTE IT 😭😭

[spider-rose-6]

Ryland Grace/Tom Ryder is my most favorite crack ship but it gets even funnier when you ship YOUNG Ryland Grace with tom Ryder because now they’re just assholes jerking each other off
