In a hole in the ground, there lived a nerd @trinikins - Tumblr Blog

my 8ft tall babygirl

Literal Butcher Simon where being a “surgeon” is a labor worker.

Where he learns so much about anatomy and the human body through trial and error, not through schooling. Where he has to physically restrain someone with one hand while the other is sawing off a leg, wide awake because they can’t waste resources on everyone. Where infection is so commonplace even in the vastness of space because medicine is just not readily accessible. Where he would amputate a solider and then less than a day later, he would have to harvest their corpse because they didn’t make it anyway. Where his disabled brothers and sisters would be left to rot until they eventually died and he would find them on his table once again.

Literal Butcher Simon that had hacked off so many limps and chopped up so many bodies, that knew amputation as a death sentence, having his own arm ripped off and somehow making it. Something he didn’t think was even possible.

graves-yard

Literal Butcher Simon that is still just a little too small, has to have someone bigger hold down the solider, streaming tears and repeating apologizes over and over the first time he has to apply a tourniquet to their arm, trying to stop his small hands from shaking too much as he cuts, cuts, cuts and snaps the bone off.

Literal Butcher Simon hearing encouragement from his mother the whole time the solider is screaming behind the gag. Tying back his hair and whispering that he did so good as he drops the arm into a bucket to be skinned and stripped later. Another lesson for later.

Literal Butcher Simon that first learns how to dissociate, to push through, to draw a scowl on his face, to grit his teeth, while blood splatters his round cheeks and prune still soft hands.

Literal Butcher Simon that has to skin and gut his own mother when she died, with the same knife she had gifted him, and bury her underneath the tree.

i know this could probably be just makeup nuances but, it breaks my heart in the best way that the mutations covered most of his arm and hands (this is his left one, it was bandaged all the way up to his knuckles), BUT NOT HIS WRIST. did the Pendant protect him??

water-activated-light

okay so for context, this is what the arms looked like before the bandages come off

the right wrist is slightly paler but that looks more like dirt and grime than mutation and blood stuffs. he also still have the bracelet from his previous pendant, it's heavily implied in the scene he finds TGWTYCW's pendant, because of the camera pan to the half-opened metal ring on it. the left arm is entirely bandaged and the bracelet is on top.

immediately after getting the bandages off, the wrist is visibly paler and cleaner, matching the top of his palm.

we get a cleaner comparison on the right wrist though, since it's visible before adn after the bandages come off. the mutations don't crawl up past the bandage line. and yes you can still sort of see the handcuff marks on it.

BEFORE > AFTER

so it COULD be makeup nuances, especially between shots, but also..... i can't help but Ponder.

#i am fully willing to take this as pinhole god not understanding plants and the bracelet protecting him to an extent #come let us take crumbs and worlbuild around into the sunset #“hah look at that idiot eyeball that can't deal with a seed”#iron lung #iron lung theory #tw gore #i think?

Iron Lung Canon

Some screenshots from the Iron Lung game, contains info about COI, Eden, The Quiet Rapture, Canon Calendars (mars' not gregorian!), etc

Highlights:

COI's population: 257

Eden's population: 468

Current year: 378 EIC / 2369 CE

Quiet Rapture: 357 EIC / 2348 CE (21 y ago)

4 moons with blood oceans, AT-5 (game/movie's) and Z-8 are named

Filament Station was COI's 4th space station, Eden sabotaged the reactor. It is now too irradiated for habitation. This happened in 362 EIC (16 y ago)

Mars was colonized in 1992 CE (0 EIC)

Mars had a higher population than Earth in 143 EIC (2134 CE)

Bosses and Coworkers: you've got a great work ethic, going above and beyond

Me: I am literally just doing my job. Everyone else is slacking off.

Everyone Else: (magically knows somehow the secret amounts of work the boss is actually asking of them, which the boss cannot tell anyone for Reasons)

There always seems to be a gap in instructions (from bosses, parents, teachers, friends, whoever) between 'required' and 'expected', and this gap is:

invisible

never explained

always a different size

you have to guess the size

if you guess wrong you either get Praised or In Trouble

bamfspock

At least on 'the price is right' you know (because someone *actually told you*) that you are playing a guessing game and that there is an over/under mechanic and that the conquence of guessing wrong isn't a punishment or damaged relationship or getting fired

On an unrelated note my psychiatrist has given me a referal for a formal ASD evaluation

This post is about the neurodivergent frustration of having to deal with neurotypical authority figures who don't say what they mean but I love the pro-union labor-rights energy I'm seeing in the notes
