Zombies and Trolls

Is it weird to talk about these very different shows on one blog? Yes? Are these shows absolutely stuffed to the brim with whump? Also yes.

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING

[mylo-space]

my friend and i were talking yesterday about how funny it is that the Iron Lung/BloodyMary fandoms make Simon some kind of eldritch eel creature, like, i fear y'all lost the plot of the movie a little bit. don't get me wrong, Eel Simon looks badass or whatever, but Simon resisted becoming part of the Eel so wholly that he became a tree and everyone still said, "yeah but what if the eel became part of him anyway make him a scary feesh". y'all that man is a Plant. the Plant Simon Truthers corner of the fandom canNOT be so small as just my friend and i, where are all my homies who love Plant Simon and his green eye and his arm made of vines. all my homies love Plant Simon who lays in the sun and drinks plenty of water and grows little flowers in his hand.

I'm so confused did he become a tree at the end of the movie? I watched it but I don't remember this in the slightest I just thought he resisted it until the end and didn't let it overtake him like the others.

Sometimes i wish you would draw simon getting petted on the head by grace and he WOULD enjoy it. I dont know how you draw so realistically, you make !e want to study art

I like the idea of Simon not actually asking for affection but instead showing it through his actions. Growing up on Eden, I imagine he wouldn’t be able to ask for much, so it’s in his nature not to.

I’ve actually been contemplating this idea for a while now, even before you asked, anon! You read my mind.

i also urge you to study art! It might feel like you sold your soul to the devil but i think its worth it

[zombies-and-trolls]

Love that the entire conjoined fandom instinctively knew that Simon's character was a dog of a man and depicts him as such, and that Grace was Rocky's dog. But they are not dogs in the same way 👆! Oh no no no, because there is more than one way to be a dog!

MY INTERESTS

[lunalovesangst]

I've read a lot of fics and posts about Rocky imitating some of Grace's body language or phrases, but I haven't seen nearly ENOUGH about Grace being the one to copy Rocky.

Grace tapping or stomping twice to signal a question.

Grace doing the jazz hands.

Grace doing that thing when Rocky is counting that he uses his fingers (even if Grace isn't actually counting with them, he picks up the gesture)

Give me Grace being a weirdo and walking on all fours like Rocky. Rocky thinks it's hilarious how slow he is like that.

Give me Grace subconsciously copying random noises Rocky makes (not the words, but his equivalents to "ooohhh"s and "ahhhh"s and "hmmmm"s) because if there's something I've noticed about humans, it's that if we spend long enough with someone, we start mimicking each other. Hell, even with animals it happens! You've ever noticed that cat owners have entire meow-ing conversations with their cats? With dogs it happens too. Or that when parrots do their bobbing dances, a lot of us start copying that? And their chirping too. I like that a lot. I'd like to see Grace doing that.

Everyone knows the first day of Friend Grace’s class is nickname day. It’s the day when every pebble is on their best behavior to try and make sure they get a cool nickname, something unique that they can brag to their friends and classmates about.

Sometimes, Grace will do it without thinking. That’s how Kiddo and Buddy got their nicknames. Often, Grace will nickname students after their coloration. Gaia got his nickname because he’s blue and green, and apparently looks a lot like Earth. Violet got hers because she’s purple. (She was initially disappointed since color means nothing to Eridians, but then Friend Grace showed them violet flowers and said that humans often associated purple with wealth and royalty, and she changed her tune.) Most of the time, Grace will give his students what he calls “regular human names” like Abby, Carl, or Martin.

But the most coveted nicknames are ones named after Earthen creatures. When ♩♪♬ 🎵 ♩♪♬ 🎵 first introduced themselves, Friend Grace immediately perked up and shouted “Robin!” After a bit of explaining himself and a few videos of bird calls, Robin was trilling and chirping happily, excited at having a nickname that felt like a 1-to-1 translation of their own.

Even well after Friend Grace is gone, his legacy remains. A hundred years into the future, when humankind finally launches a new ship with the express purpose of properly meeting their Eridian neighbors, one of the first messages exchanged is “Hello! My name Robin.”

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Eridian government representative: Greetings Rocky, Saviour of Erid, and Grace, Saviour from Beyond the Stars. We are pleased to welcome you home.

Grace, haltingly on the keyboard Rocky built for him: Wassup bitches. Fucking jazzed to—

Rocky: GRACE STOP TALKING NOW NOW NOW I EXPLAIN LATER

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“WHY QUESTION???”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

“WHY QUESTION?????”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.

Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

"Saying Morgana is RCTA is such a stretch!!!" No...it's REALLY not; she GENUINELY believes she's a magical creature just because she's "good" at magic (I say that in quotes because a MAJORITY of her strength & level of threat comes from leeching off of demi-gods & Merlin + she gets beat by a LITERAL CHILD in her OWN DOMAIN MORE THAN ONCE.) and even goes as far to say she EXPERIENCES the oppression of ACTUAL magical creatures alongside saying she IS a magical creature, calling them her kind, etc. despite the facts that: she is ROYALTY and Arthur let her (+ Merlin & Douxie.) have their magic, yes he didn't approve of it but he still let them be the exceptions to his banishment of all magic (including magic wielders) in his kingdom and didn't sentence them to death like any other magic wielder would the most she would have dealt with was having to be a bit sneaky with certain things regarding her magic but nothing else, she LIVED IN A PALACE never having to know what being locked away in the dungeon felt like and SO SO SO MUCH MORE, so NO it's not a stretch to call Morgana RCTA.

a side note; Morgana is also shown to have a collection of troll skulls in her room which is just so weird to collect SKULLS of fallen members of "your kind" and have them stored away in your room if you hate and grieve the fact their blood was shed & want to protect them so much.
