Finished piece of @drop-of-void’s story line of Simon from Iron Lung and a cosmic being that is actually us, the reader! I am going off of the creator’s interpretation of what the reader would look like in their original form, but they encourage you to come up with your own interpretations with the description of the character!
So please go have a look at their stuff when you get the chance to! (Just fair warning, there is spoilers on their blog and further in this post I’m about to say. Oh, also there is the possibility of some 18+ posts that you might find so minors, do not interact with this account. I mean it!)
Now just for some little details I put in:
- There is a red star in the far right corner that is meant to symbolize that the moon that Simon was on before he was saved. It’s also meant to symbolize that the creature that was chasing him is still watching him, albeit more wary now cause the reader fought them off.
- When stressed, humans have a hard time keeping their body from acting up, so I decided to added grey/white hair strands to Simon’s hair, along with the eye bags cause of his nightmares.
- The scar on Simon’s left arm is meant to symbolize a marking I found from one of Void’s uploads as the post’s icon, so I added the star like shape to some of the other minor scars Simon got from being mutated by the blood of the Blood Ocean. This was after the reader had reversed the effects, hence the star shape.
- When the reader’s tendrils touch Simon, I imagined them a bit like a mood ring, certain colors forming in response to the new feelings said reader was experiencing. It’s also meant to call back to one of the posts about Simon being touch starved, and the reader really starting to like physical touch.
- While I was making the stars and galaxies on the reader, I got reminded how long ago Markiplier thought space was cool (and if In Space with Markiplier and his recent movie doesn’t show that, I don’t know what will). Not really something important here, but I just wanted to give some “did you know facts” since some of y’all might not know who Mark Fischbach is.
