The contrast of Ava and Stratt struggling with the guilt as Ava is slowly dying while Simon Grace and Rocky are up to absolute bullshit on the Hail Mary.
He was raised in a closed religious community in the middle of desert area (just a bit north from eridian habitat). This part of the world is known for its heat, lack of water, proper soil and resources. While eridians naturally adapted to this conditions, humans struggle to live there. But this also makes this area perfect for hiding for radical organisations not liked by their country (if any country at all), not only because of its condition, but also because of unending sandstorms that don’t allow anyone see literally anything farther than in a mile.
So, basically they lived in similar to eridian conditions in a desert with no plants and with single giant tree in a middle of main dome of the cult. Stars and sky are believed to not be expected anymore after some event of world’s end (AKA “quiet rapture”) and everything that left are this “chosen children of the tree”, and their only purpose is to feed it.
COI is also a community living there but more likely for research purposes or for mining, but eventually they radicalised too and began war with Eden for those limited resources.
kinda like this. Yes, Eden’s faith is a complete bullshit here stars are not even gone, but this way it’s even more interesting. Because uknow that “isn’t it more likely that couple of space ships disappeared? What if they are looking for us and thinking there we all went?” thing. Cults are powerful indeed.

Rocky and Adrian bringing their younger set of pebble children to visit their weird fleshy uncles!
I personally imagine both Ryland and Simon take a while to adjust and be comfortable with physical touch, despite both being touch starved as well (thanks to trauma ;u;). So this would take place well after the long burn of slowly and naturally allowing themselves to feel safe and secure with each other to close that space. It's hard for them to trust anyone again, but I like to believe they choose to trust each other in the end.
In this comic, I talk about aroasexuality. If it were a tag in an AO3 fanfic, it would say something like "the author is projecting onto Ryland Grace" or something like that.
Thank you for the positive support regarding putting my clownship art here! It helped soothe my anxiety a lot ;w;
Going forward I'll post them here too! But just in case if it happens to go south, they will still be available on my poipiku acc!
I'll keep putting the "polycirco" tag for muting purposes too 🙇♀️
