🫐 Intro post 🫐

(Remade)

📻 This is the main blog! I yap, I rp, I occasionally doodle and write.

📻 Multi fandom but it's never hard to guess the biggest obsession at any given time.

📻 Asks and DMs are open, especially for rp, writing, or art related stuff, or just to chat!

📻 Also, OSDD system, but that's not something we talk massively about much

~ Please keep in mind that I am 19, I rp only with people who are 18+, regardless of the rp content ~

i haven't seen anyone do this but on the whole mutated simon thing, what about mutated simon that has extra arms. ellie had all of her extra human arms, give simon extra shit always

[viscerally-tired]

More Simon who actually doesn't think that Eden is that bad. In the film he doesn't necessarily defend it but!

"So you don't fully buy Eden's bullshit. All their dogma about the last tree."

[Groans] "It's not about the tree."

He seems almost tired about it, like he's had to explain before, like it's his instinct to actually share the beliefs of Eden. He goes on to explain his lack of choice, the tattoo and the burn, him in the middle. The man gives him an out and says "hey man, you surrendered, ik u aint crazy like that." And Simon REJECTED IT.

Do I think that Simon loves Eden? No.

Do I think he has lost his faith in that belief system? No. Not in the slightest.

His faith in himself is what gets tested, and that faith is strongest in the end. I still think he is a religious man, I still think he believes in whatever bullshit he was taught, I think if he did get out he would want to carry on certain traditions, have to unravel others and realise the bad that is in them.

I think his faith is complicated, but there is nostalgia and love and warm filters over memories that don't deserve them because that is what childhood is. Your struggle meals become comfort foods as you grow to not need them anymore. An atheist still puts up a Christmas tree. If he had the ability to grow past the ocean and to continue living, he might drop SOME elements of those beliefs, but he's still gonna put up the Christmas tree after he finds out that they came from the Lutherian and Protestant traditions, and he is a staunch Catholic.

I made a Simon Iron Lung x Magnus Archives crossover thing, fun moodboard is there separately too

Warnings for cannibalism and gore!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Imagine any warnings you would put for The Flesh? Those ones!

Including self inflicted!! It is angsty!!

Image warnings in the moodboard for implied gore! There's also some meat there but it's super zoomed in and not particularly gory

I can't remember the artist of the jaw reference and I can't find them though so please help 🙏

[viscerally-tired]

Still can't stop thinking about that guy. You know? The one played by that guy. You know him right? Mark? Yeah. What a guy he played.

[transmascmarypoppins]

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

[chatblancofficial]

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

[huewrite]

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

[viscerally-tired]

I just need to have this on my blog for prosperity

[viscerally-tired]

Happy pride, here are all of my headcanons for TEOS gang

Dave is a gay man. Yes he loves Katie, but it's platonic, but I can imagine Dave being pretty removed from the media (given his chances of seeing something nightmare inducing), and not being super exposed to stuff so he doesn't realise that he's gay until later in life. I can imagine him thinking that he's MAYBE bi for a minute before turning to Katie and being like "....Shit I love you platonically, can we be in a qpr?" Identifies as a cis male, uses He/They pronouns.

Matteo, that man is violently pansexual, that hawaiian shirt? ....Sure bud. Fr though, I can see him being a massive flirt to all parties, very much Tim Stoker vibes. Also, because I say so, I'm hitting him with the transgender ray, no further explanation. Get trans-ed. He/Him pronouns, maybe he/they?

Katie! Katie is a bisexual trans woman with a strong preference for men. This has come to me instinctively, I have really no reason for it. Again it is truly just vibes. I can see her coming out as trans at a pretty young age too, and transitioning pretty early in life. (Her parents aren't the most supportive all the time, but they saw the obvious). She/her pronouns.

Linda. There are two answers for them, podcast? So incredibly deeply bisexual. Show? Asexual. Probably thought they were bi for a while in the sort of "well no attraction is equal attraction to all genders right? So I must be bi" and then she found out what asexuality is and has a lil realisation. I also wanna say demiromantic lesbian? She/they pronouns but identifies as a cis woman, similar to Dave.

Finally having clear shots is everything to me

One of my favorite Bloodymary tropes is Simon dropping some random childhood trauma lore and mandated-reporter-middle-school-teacher Grace going:

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

And you were going to let this absolutely diabolical Eden headcanon just casually hide in the tags?

[viscerally-tired]

Dave and Katie living a normal, happy life because they deserve it 😭

Have you seen Mark's Tim Hortons video? That video but Dave and Katie

Katie teasing Dave by drinking his coffee and eating his hash brown

Oughh I love them

Idk do with this what you will

I literally just went and watched the video for the first time, thank you for bringing it to my attention lmao

No warnings! There is one mention of Dave's triangle scar but it's tiny, all fluff because you're so right, they deserve a normal life.

It's pretty short! But this was a lot of fun :)

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞

△ Dave and Katie going on a trip to Canada when they can actually afford to take the time off of work, maybe Katie's sponsor mentions how getting out of their routine was good for them and it inspires her to do the same. (She isn't particularly struggling at the time, but the reminder that vacations even exist is enough)

△ Dave going one night without sleep is pretty much the standard, so when it's 7am and the sunlight is hitting the two of them through the crack in the curtain, snuggled up together in their hotel bed, it isn't any surprise that he's still awake.

△ His thoughts having been calmed by Katie's presence throughout the night, being able to hold her close, to know that despite his condition he's able to have this. He wants to do something nice for her.

△ Pulling himself away from that bed would be difficult, but he's motivated by coffee and food and Katie's expression when he comes back with the goods. He is a shit driver. That isn't particularly relevant, but Mark's driving in that video has to been commented on somehow, I almost had an aneurism, keep your eyes on the god damn road.

△ Katie wakes up to Dave pottering about in the hotel room, setting up the absolute feast that he's bought for the two of them so that he can surprise her with breakfast in bed. Soon he's bringing over one or those little table things, used specifically for the purpose of breakfast in bed. She absolutely lights up when she realises what's happening. Eyes wide, joy bright and apparent as she smiles unrestrained and laughs, giddy.

△ She sits up so incredibly fast, smiling as he places the tray over her and kisses the top of her head with a 'Good morning'. Katie absolutely deserves the princess treatment that Dave gives her. He explains everything that he bought, pointing it all out. He's bought himself a fancy coffee and bought her one that he knows she'll like rather than risking it.

△ He only has to turn his back for one minute to take off his shoes and jacket before he's hearing the sound of a large iced salted caramel cappuccino being sipped on behind his back. He hurries to shuffle back into the bed, eyes wide as Katie laughs at his outrage. "That's so not fair!- I wanted the fancy one-" He reaches for it and she relents, looking far too pleased with herself. "I got your favourite too! You don't need to drink almost half of mine."

△ "Hey! I'm just helping you follow doctors orders, you know they said to cut caffeine." She isn't serious though, he definitely should cut caffeine out of his diet according to doctors, but everyone deserves their little vices. She won't take it away from him.

△ It's when Dave goes to use the bathroom that Katie takes a bite of the hashbrown, putting it back down innocently and continuing to eat her breakfast muffin when he comes back in. He eats far too much of the rest of the meal before noticing his impulse purchase has been desecrated. He looks at her with some mix of betrayal and confusion, she waits innocently for the words to spill out of him, already holding a laugh.

△ "I would rather think that the employee at Tim Hortons took a bite outta this, than to know that the moment I turned my back, you took a bite of my hashbrown." He only holds his faux-betrayal for a moment before Katie laughs and kisses his cheek and he melts beside her all over again, happily eating the hashbrown from the same place she had eaten from.

△ Dave hasn't slept, the coffee is more sugar than coffee and half of it is gone thanks to the person he would rather die than to lose. There is nowhere else he would rather be than holding Katie in his arms like this, bare chested and scarred by things they have since spoken about, though struggled to. He has everything he could possibly want right here, besides maybe a quarter of his hashbrown.

△ Dave Torres who wears simple clothes. △

White shirt, decent trousers, converse, plain black jacket. Ain't no one gonna tickle his pickle looking like that. The point is, he is plain.

While his childhood is surrounded by blues and soft yellows and oranges, his room is showroom adjacent, it has the regular clutter here and there but if you take a moment to really look at it, it looks straight out of a pinterest board. There isn't much in it, assumedly because superhero movies with fighting give him nightmares, having posters up with faces watching him as he lays in bed at night wouldn't help either. Too many things trigger his parasomnia.

Thinking about the podcast and how he was never allowed near violent video games or horror movies, finally watching one to impress a girl and ending up in the hospital, scars covering his lower abdomen likely for the rest of his life.

Dave doesn't really have interests because he can't really afford them.

Matteo wears a bright and colourful hawaiian shirt when he goes out to the party, a gold chain, a nice watch. He has a nice car, like really nice, flashy even. He knows what he likes.

Katie has orchids painted on her wall, her light switches are a calming blue, there's natural wood, it feels lived in for what little we get to see of it. The clothes she put on to experience what she assumed is the apocalypse have colour. She likes things to be soft to surround her. She knows what she likes.

But, no person has no interests. So, thinking about it and thinking about Mark, maybe his is space. He has no nightmares of it throughout the series and while he wouldn't be able to watch much in the way of sci-fi, there are documentaries.

Thinking about Dave Torres who doesn't sleep, sitting outside while the rest of the world rests in a state of peace he has never truly experienced. Staring up at the stars. Counting them until he loses his place.

Naming constellations that he remembers from nights spent next to Katie, as she slept peacefully by his side, and he watched his screen with the lights low and the volume lower.
