Ryland Grace the space aroace

I don’t necessarily headcanon Simon as bi, but bisexual lighting makes everyone look approximately 110% more dramatic and badass. my scrunkly deserves that.

The SM-13 Manual

I went through most of the pages of the SM-13's manual that are either visible on-screen or have been shown in BTS images and transcribed what I could into a more legible format.

Manual Transcriptions

A1-SM6-COM-000 COITOPS OPERATORS MANUAL C.O.I. MODEL SM - 8 - 13 HEMOROVER DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT C — Distribution authorized to Consolidat

It's not perfect, but it's better than squinting at blurry frames every time I need to reference the manual. Enjoy.

Wip I’m never gonna finish. Here have this

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

I'm gonna be extra levels of woke and Bloodymary post just to keep pissing off everyone who's bothered by it, by the way. Enjoy your extra content while I be an annoyance. 🫶

Simon "sees his mother every time he looks in the mirror" Nolastname has some wild repressed takes on his own masculinity.

Simon "gender labels went out of style 300 years ago" agender Martian man. Gender stopped becoming relevant when alien species indicators became relevant.

Simon asking "what planet you from?" at Grace not realizing that's a wild concept to even consider from his perspective.

Simon "god I'm so tired of aliens" deadpan reacting to Rocky like it's a normal Tuesday event to see a rock spider singing at him.

Simon "we have bigger things to worry about" has no idea what the terms "gay" or "trans" mean and treats them both like an archaic medieval-era word.

2020s Earth sounding utterly and completely barbaric to Simon, who was born late into the social progress movement. Like, real late.

Simon who speaks a far future dialect of Martian-English (perhaps Martian-Korean) and sounds like he's speaking Simlish to Grace. Meanwhile, Grace sounds borderline medieval to Simon (having a nearly 400-year time period gap), who has spoken more Eridian than English at that point and so now even his English is rusty. Simon not batting at eye at this random dude who's humming at him because "I've seen weirder forms of communication from weirder people".

Simon "it's baseline normalcy to put women in positions of power" because misogyny went out the window long ago.

Simon telling Grace about Mars. Grace imagining Mars being some kind of closed-off, scattered colony situation. Then Simon starts talking about cities and how the Mars population had an overcrowding issue (in game lore, they surpassed the population of earth on a smaller total surface area). Grace having to come to terms with the idea that humans absolutely put the equivalent of a Dollar General on Mars.

Grace: Would it be potentially upsetting to you if I wore a skirt to class today?

Simon: ... huh?

Grace: Just checking if it's okay with you first.

Simon: ... What the hell are you talkin' about man? Why you asking me that?

Grace: Uh.

Simon: You don't gotta ask me if you want to... wear clothes??

Grace: Sssure. Right. Of course! Why would you care? You're from ages from now!

Simon: You're fuckin' strange.

Grace being more weird about facing the prospect of queerness than Simon is. Simon's the chill one. Normalized-years-ago pansexual Simon's fucking vibing while Grace has the sexuality crisis.

Arospec Simon and Acespec Ryland. Simon being ferociously demi and compartmentalizing transactional sex with romantic sex because of the circumstances he came from. Ryland who's down with the casual shit while Simon works out whatever the hell is going on with his own avoidant-attachment issues.

A no expectations, no bullshit approach to the ship. "If something happens, whatever. If something doesn't, whatever."

Forced proximity trope gets completely turned on its head. Ryland isn't clingy in the slightest and loves having space and privacy.

Simon who's not used to privacy after prison and being crammed on overcrowded space stations his whole life, so he relishes in periods of alone time. He and Ryland enjoy crossing paths as they go about their day but the cohabitation is friendly yet breathable. Easy.

Simon sprawling out and taking up as much space as possible simply because he can.

Simon "everyone wants something frome me" Nolastname and Ryland "vulnerability is my worst fear" Grace both absolutely enjoying a no strings attached kind of QPR.

Simon: Population control was at an all-time high and same-sex stuff was actually encouraged.

Grace: We just got that stuff legalized where I'm from.

Simon: What? It was banned on Earth?

Grace: I mean, yeah for a long time.

Simon: You monsters... I really should've paid attention in interplanetary history.

Grace: YOU HAD INTERPLANETARY HISTORY TEACHERS!?

Simon: Professors, actually. They didn't shoot dumbfucks into space to colonize Mars.

Grace: ⁉️

Simon: How did you do that with your mouth

The Old Religion

(closeups under the cut)

drew this all in a span of about 3 days, my largest project since the malevolent francesca comic (if you know, you know). This wouldn't have been possible without @ctrl-shift-alt-9's INVALUABLE iron lung master reference. The shots in each of these panels were chosen on purpose and i would LOVE if anyone wanted me to elaborate on any of them!

"The last time any human touched Ryland Grace was an act of horrific violence"

Well... Yes and no.

The last time Ryland Grace was CONSCIOUS of any human touch was when he was knocked out. Absolutely true.

But the last human contact he would have had was Yao and Ilyukhina. Who were told that he was scared about panicking during launch and asked to be sedated. Who did all the pre flight checks before the Hail Mary launched. Who would have carefully, gently carried Grace to his bed in the dormitory, made sure he was secure, and initiated his coma procedure.

There would have been love there. Remember Ilyukhina throwing her hands high and saying "welcome to crew!" Remember Yao saying how he hoped Grace would say yes. Remember how much the crew trusted Grace, Stratt's First Officer, the guy who helped them so much, and was so kind to them, and was the one who they entrusted their preferred methods of suicide to. Who thought they were wonderful and brave.

They would have tucked him in. Maybe brushed his hair out of his face. Maybe said something kind to him before initiating their own coma procedures.

Ryland Grace doesn't remember, of course he wouldn't. But the last human touch he ever had was full of love.

[dogdaysareover365]

I love angsty Simon, but let me pitch you hopeless romantic Simon

Give me Simon who becomes a love sick puppy at the first man to show him kindness in years

we all talk about Grace doing eridian mating rituals, but what if Simon tries some Eden or mars courting rituals?

Simon, who watches romcoms cause they’re guaranteed to end happily, taking inspiration when courting Grace.

Simon who names his favorite plant after Ryland (it can be a sunflower)

also Simon who eventually falls in love with the eridian sleeping habit of watching someone sleep cause it means keeping his mate safe.
