A Happy Little Writer

Hi. I'm Mary Rae. I am always open to beta reading anyone's story. I have a strange hobby for grammar and brainstorming storylines. I also get bored easily. So DM me if you need help with your story! I will happily offer assistance. I also do my best to write any one shot that is in my inbox. On here I will usually repost some excellent posts for anyone who needs some writing help. I also draw here and there as well! So if I know you, expect a random question that will turn into a drawing! 🍂 AO3: Mary_Rae 🍂 Wattpad:mary-rae-writer 🍂

WRITING PROMTS NEEDED!!!

Tomorrow is my day off, and I can already feel the creeping boredom setting in like an unwelcome houseguest who just refuses to leave. You know the type—sitting on your couch, eating your snacks, and flipping through channels while you desperately try to find something interesting to do. So, I’m putting out an SOS to all you creative geniuses out there: I need ANY AND ALL WRITING PROMPTS!

Maybe you can introduce me to a brand-new fandom that I can dive into like it's a refreshing pool on a hot summer day. Or perhaps you have an old, dusty idea tucked away in the back of your mind, gathering cobwebs and begging for a revival. Challenge me! Give me a quirky scenario that twists my imagination into pretzel shapes. Or if you’ve got a half-finished story that’s been collecting digital dust, I’m all ears! Whether it’s a wild adventure with dragons, a heartwarming tale about a cat who becomes a detective, or even a ridiculous scenario where aliens invade a pizza parlor, I want it all!

No limits, folks! The only boundaries are the ones I set myself—so unleash your creativity! I’m ready to tackle whatever you throw my way, whether it's a humorous prompt that’ll make me chuckle or a serious challenge that’ll have me pondering life’s mysteries. Let’s make anything but boring!

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

sorry to post religious ads but i got this ad

and i can't get over how the artist/graphic designer clearly went in knowing they were replicating classic holy white bird imagery and did a decent job with the editing too, except they either don't know what a dove is, don't know that the bird being specifically a dove matters, or just got real lazy and chose the first all white bird that came up in search results because that is fully a seagull in that image

GOD IS COMING FOR YOUR FRENCH FRIES

I vote for doing Grace a little bit more weird. In most of the things I have see of Bloodymary Simon is the weird one, which fair because a cult and surviving your canonic event would make you weird, but I think that Grace should be also pretty weird by this point.

He only interacts with an alien species that consist of what for the human eye looks like rocks that sing likes whales, that should be quite the first impression.

He commits cannibalism daily.

He hasn't interact with humans in at least (at least) like nine years, that has to make him very bad at interacting with people, and he was already kinda bad at it to start with (if you weren't one of his students of course).

He pass most of his time with kids, meaning that he should sound kinda childish from time to time without even meaning it.

He best friend is Rocky, who I love, but I sure is also weird by eridians parameters.

Like I just saying that awkward interactions, specially first meetings, should be also started by Grace who hasn't had to interact with humans in a while.

P.S: Simon can be weird too, of course, but for what I understand he grew up in a cult with people, weird people, but people in the end of the day. Grace had been living with eridians, and even when he is still painfully human, he had to be a little out of tone with how human interactions go.

Extra:

I would also love Grace asking for Rocky advice to be better at socializing and Rocky been like "I got you" when in reality he spend 46 years by his own in a spaceship meant for 23. I want this two to give advice to each other without realizing that maybe they should seek someone with a more stable point of view, like Adrian, who may also be mess up for been a widow for 46 years, but is better at covering it.

BLOODYMARY REVERSE AU! BLOODYMARY REVERSE AU! BLOODYMARY REVERSE AU!

[polarity-disturbed]

With the whole "Markiplier making his own DVD copies of Iron Lung to sell" thing, it's been fascinating and slightly concerning how many people seem to genuinely believe that if a physical release isn't coming from a giant corporation, it must automatically be a bootleg.

Look at me.

Look me directly in the eyes while I say this.

You can just make things.

You can simply create something and put it into the world.

That's allowed.

People have been doing it for centuries.

They sell blank VHS tapes. They sell blank DVDs. Blank CDs. You can buy flash drives by the bucketful if you really want to. If you create a movie, an album, a game, a documentary, or a four-hour video essay about the mating habits of fictional space goblins, you are entirely permitted to put that thing on physical media and sell it.

That is not piracy.

Piracy is taking something that belongs to someone else and reproducing or distributing it without permission.

If I buy a DVD of a movie, I own that copy of the movie. I do not own the movie itself. I didn't acquire the rights to duplicate it, press a thousand copies, and start selling them out of my garage like I've become the regional distributor for Warner Bros.

The copyright, distribution rights, and intellectual property still belong to whoever created it or whoever legally acquired those rights.

If I start burning copies of Iron Lung and selling them myself without Markiplier's permission, that's piracy.

If Markiplier, who made and owns the rights to Iron Lung, burns copies and sells them himself, that's just distribution.

He's the rights holder.

He's distributing his own work.

If you made it, if it came from your own mind, your own work, your own time, your own resources, then congratulations. You own the thing. You don't need a corporation to bless it with legitimacy.

The corporation is not what makes it real.

The fact that it exists is what makes it real.

I think we've accidentally spent so many years living inside a world dominated by mass-produced media that some people have developed the strange assumption that all media emerges from a factory somewhere. As if films naturally occur in shrink-wrapped plastic cases and descend from the heavens aboard a pallet truck.

But independent artists have been burning discs, dubbing tapes, printing books, pressing records, and mailing things directly to people for longer than many of us have been alive.

That's not a bootleg.

That's just a product.

It's not "bootleg."

It's just... leg.

The normal kind.

The original, free-range, locally sourced leg.

Incredibly self indulgent things I think would be cool to see in more bloodymary fics/fanart 

Simon not always being the angry one!! I feel like some fan content tends to infantilize Grace as just some innocent soft boy who would never hurt a fly while also stereotyping Simon as angry and grumpy and threatening 24/7? Which is kinda odd to me. Grace canonically lost his shit so hard he called one of his colleagues a “staggering waste of carbon” and got kicked out of academia. He starts breaking shit when things go wrong (him throwing the trash can(?) when he finds that astrophage are water based and punching the screen during the taumoeba leak). When Grace realizes he’s going to be forced on the mission he shoves a chair and climbs the walls and runs for his life and still keeps fighting even when pinned. If during their first encounter Simon attacks and threatens Grace because he’s (understandably) scared and confused and out of it let Grace fight a bit dirty!! Just for a little bit!! He’ll feel bad about it later but for now he doesnt know who this guy is or what he can do and he’s SCARED. FOR HIS LIFE. (Also admittedly inspired by this post) 

Simon helping Grace get ideas for his experiments and theories. We can reasonably assume that Grace is more well versed in science and academics than Simon is, but Simon still shows a great deal of intelligence and resourcefulness throughout Iron Lung; mapping out the caves on his own, opening the crawlspace with the first aid scissors, using his harness to keep the life vest attached to the black box. Grace is incredibly smart and scientific minded, yes, but throughout phm we still see him needing help from others who can think in more out of the box ways than him. Like when Carl suggests to just “put the box in another box.” It’s such a seemingly simple and not at all complicated solution, so much so that it doesn’t even come to Grace’s mind at first. But it's undeniably genius! And then later when Rocky suggests that they just sit in Adrian’s orbit in order to stay in the Petrova line, something Grace didn’t think of. I feel like simon could fulfill a similar role! Let them all do group science projects together.

More Rocky!! Ok this is probably the most self indulgent one. I know it’s kinda silly to ask for more of a character in content about a ship that doesnt (necessarily) involve said character. But like. This is my post so idc. After the events of Iron Lung Simon has radiation poisoning times like a bazillion (in addition to Every Other Disease). Rocky’s crew died from radiation and Rocky probably spent those entire 40 years alone thinking he was useless for not being able to fix it. And now Simon is going through something that not only Rocky can’t fix, but that grace is probably going to have a hard time fixing (if at all) as well! I feel like there’s angst potential there. That’s gotta suck ass. Also Rocky plays such an important role in Grace’s development and the narrative itself that I feel like he should play an important role here too?

And while I'm here more Ava and Stratt too. That moment when you both have traumatic experiences with women named a/eva who sent you off to die. What if when Grace mentions Eva for just a moment Simon thinks he's talking about HIS Ava. Or vice versa. Also if those men get to make out about their joint trauma together then the women should too. Amen. Go my trolley operators!!

[k1nky-r0b0t-g1rl]

ive said it before and ill say it again, self harm is an incredibly valuable grounding technique and without it i almost certainly would have done far more harm to myself than any cutting or burning could have. We need to stop framing self harm as this ultimate horror indication of damage, why is this form of self harm any different than another?

We should be teaching people harm reduction not that self harm means you're broken. I'm sorry if anyone has ever made you feel that way. If self harm makes you feel better, even for a moment, why shouldn't you be allowed to do that? people do shit that harms their body all the fucking time but this one thing is off limits?

I'm edging around the topic because it's almost certainly ban worthy but like, if it helps fucking do it, id much rather you use a "less than ideal" grounding technique (which im already rolling my eyes just typing that) than have no way to help yourself.

I hope this makes sense and helps at least one person, i love you <3

you're not allowed to tell girls who are in a terrible place that they're not broken. it's a bannable offense on tumblr.

Honestly, fuck @staff. This post helped save my life and @staff banned her. Fuck you @staff, when ya'll are *anywhere* close to the level of harm reduction that this post provided, maybe then you'll be a real blogging site again

they've been very clear with us on this point: you're not allowed to tell girls who are in a terrible place that they're not broken. it's a bannable offense on tumblr.

I'll do it again.

Do you remember when Amity risked her blog to give love and paid the price? I haven't forgotten.

[mary-laib]

I love bad-start!BloodyMary as much as the rest, but have any of you considered chronic-apologizer!Simon x chronic-crier!Grace?

Like Simon is immediately on defense, but that gets Grace up in tears so quickly and now Simon is panicking because this guy he just met is now sobbing from all his threatening and ohgodhe'ssuchabadperson

Which leads to fluff which I think is what both of these sad, pathetic, wet boys need.

[mary-laib]

AYO??

Reposting this again bc one of my favorite phm artists reposted with some great tags (also just realized I wasn't following and had to immediately fix that). You are so right! As someone who owns an agressive, cowardly dog, you are so right. Also link where?

[dragon-chica]

big crossover ships are pretty rare nowadays, but Bloodymary concept and storylines fit together so well. That said, Markiplier making himself a blood planet horror movie, about 100% doomed from the start man, and everyone showing up with a "don't worry, Ryan Gosling will save you!" is beautiful.
