Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.
oh my gosh i wasn't aware that YOU knew about bloodymary. what are your thoughts or observations about it??
anon are you joking, iron lung is based off a video game, therefore it falls within my domain of Arc Has Approximate Knowledge Of All Video Games. of course I know about bloodymary.
I still haven't watched Iron Lung (I KNOW, i will soon, i am just really waiting for student loans to be be dispersed) but I have a friend who I won't name who is baffled by it and I believe lowkey annoyed by it.
Which makes this a lil awkward bc I feel like I absolutely understand it and why it's a thing, and am profounded amused by the phenomenon.
Like, off the dome, the similarities:
Both are stories about the same basic thing: something is endangering the future of the galaxy at large, a concrete something that is such a profound existential threat to the future of humanity, a powerful authority has decided that sending the protagonist on a suicide mission in the hopes of maybe finding information that can challenge the existential threat is morally and ethically justifiable. Both protagonists encounter an important alien and are doomed to never return to the place they came from, which may arguably be a happier ending for the protagonist than actual return.
Both are adaptations of another piece of media that provides further clarity and Lore on the universe that people may utilize or ignore as needed.
While one is a very small indie movie with a shoestring budget and the other is The Summer Blockbuster of 2026, both are the passion project of the lead actor/executive producer. There is emphasis on creating a tactile feeling of reality rather than relying on CGI. Both films built obscenely technical rigs in the name of accomplishing specific sequences as practically as possible.
Setting As Character, both movies put tremendous effort into ensuring the primary location of the story feels as much like a real place as possible (mostly by building them as real places).
grace's slutty little glasses are the equivalent of that BDSM tiddy top that simon wears. these things rhyme.
Now, that's a lot about the crossover appeal. Why i think it's become a wellspring of fan creativity?
PHM ends at the perfect moment to dovetail into Iron Lung. It almost feels like a sequel adventure. Grace and Rocky have reunited and are soulmates and totally Weird about each other in a way that we've gotten to see in dazzling detail. Hurling a traumatized angrysadman from an arguably even worse apocalypse at them feels like a fun sequel. How will Rocky handle meeting another human who is Quite Different from his human? I kinda want to know!
Erid becoming an old dogs shelter for humans who were essentially sentenced to death by their own people is inherently funny.
I don't yet know the details on how Iron Lung wraps up but I know the source material enough to guess it's probably a Rough ending involving (checks sources) a Fuckton Of Blood. For people who are attached to Simon, giving him a gentler epilogue where he's gonna be SO fucking confused about EVERYTHING but at least gets out of that blood ocean-- bitches love to take an ultra-traumatized guy and put them in a new mason jar and shake it a lot. We are all bitches.
Taking the Cosmic Horror elements of Iron Lung and introducing them to the Cosmic Hope elements of PHM is rife with potential.
Or maybe, at the end of the day... it's about making two hot ppl make out. I am not here to judge. I hope folks are having fun.
Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation
This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face
Yes yes i know love is love. But they are still killing CHILDREN. over this.
Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
Losing my mind over this
Never forget these two queens putting on the most showstopping tiktok of all time
2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023
in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.
you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads
you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride
these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.
final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍

Tumblr is an apartment complex with thin walls and every so often you just have to listen to your neighbors say the most deranged shit imaginable
I'm so glad that that truncated fucking ran-into-a-wall-at-speed tadpole-ass looking squirrel only lives in high altitude forests in Borneo bc this means I am extremely unlikely to encounter one in my day to day life. thank god
Hello.
DID YOU MAKE THIS BLOG SIMPLY TO TORMENT ME
I can go upside down.
WHERE IS THE REST OF YOU
Man notices an Eagle eyeing the fish he just caught
*gets back to the nest* baby you are NEVER gonna believe how i got this fish
see??? Humans LOVE sharing and being friends with strangers!
when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)
anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.
i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”
and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.
“What?” i say.
“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.
I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.
oh no is this what we’re doing now
…relic…
*crumbles and blows away on the wind*
unfortunately very true. Doing Better does not always mean never being upset or never being triggered or never having trouble. often Doing Better means experiencing those things and being able to keep going/cope healthily/move on. if you’re in a bubble with no sensation, if you’re numbing yourself out, that’s not what recovering really is. it won’t help you have a happier life it’ll just make your world smaller and smaller until you can’t fit anywhere anymore. gotta learn to make peace with the hard stuff too, that’s the only way to keep going
I did not come into Tumblr dot com to be called out in this way.
