Stay up late: read fanfic

I can't believe today is the last Witch Hat Monday for a while 😭

I don't want to see anyone become a brimmed hat but boy do I love designing brim hats for everyone. For Richeh I think she would look cool with her crystal ribbons forming the hat, and the scale wolf cloak would compliment it all.

Tetia is next for a hat design! I'm thinking something with clouds and either a dragon or a Brushbully ;) The hours long painting video, HD image, and PSD file will be DMed on my Patreon

Really like how this turned out! :D

The brain worm of "aperture" continues to burrow in my brain.

But I do know it’s a Christian cult ☝️ I do know that.

So I’d like to think Simon has a special relationship with the Hail Mary. Yes, he thinks Grace is an angel and a savior, but now he’s safe in the Hail Mary.

Grace hears the computer talking and walks into the control room to see Simon leaned against the window and talking to the Hail Mary.

Imagine with me PLEASE

Simon: … Mary?

Mary: Yes, Simon?

Simon: Can I trust the people here?

Mary: Captain Doctor Ryland Grace is a renowned expert on microbiology and astrophage. He is regarded as a hero to Earth. Rocky is an expert engineer, he is regarded as a hero to Erid. The crew of the Hail Mary is full of the most capable.

Simon: Okay… Okay. Mary?

Mary: Yes, Simon?

Simon: Am I going to die here?

Mary: Last vital reading indicates stress. Leisure activity recommended. No threat imminent.

bloodymary parallels make brain go brrr

“Ow! What the fuck!? Why’d you hit me?”

Simon is Adrian's pebble. This man imprints onto them like a baby duck after being pulled from hell and Adrian's like "well I guess I'm a parent now :/ ".

Not to infantilize Simon, but by Adrian's standards, that's a babee. They see this poor traumatized, blood covered, mutated man and just sequesters him into their nest. Poor thing can't talk right. He's having trouble standing. They think the mutations might be some weird human puberty. Like the ugly phase where a chick becomes an adult bird. After a few years the worst of the mutations go away so Adrian's like "Aw he's growing up 🥲"

It's really funny to me Simon is established as this, basically, early 20's young adult (by eridian standards) due to a lot of misunderstandings. So when Grace finally get to Erid they think Grace is a middle age, "fully formed frontal lobe", no need for predator protection teeth, grown adult. In reality they're only like 5 years apart max.

Honestly I just want a fic where Grace is showing interest in Simon and Adrian's like "geT AWAY FROM MY PEBBLE YOU NEST ROBBER!!"

Simon: Adrian I'm a grown ass man! Stop treating me like a fucking child!

Adrian: I know you're growing up, but you'll always be my baby 🎵🎶

Simon: That's not what I ment!!!

Or Simon thinks it hilarious and just enables Adrian.

Grace: Do you... want to go out sometime?

Simon *shit eating grin on his face*: Don't know, did you ask my mom for permission first?

Rocky wont help because:

1) He doesn't want to get on his mate's bad side

also i’m

so happy with how i decided Simon and adrian’s first interaction would go

bc simon has not felt small but also safe in so so long and here is this big fuckin alien that when he reaches out very gently touches his hand and goes “ah, i see what rocky was sing-screaming for”

bc first thing simon does is hum the song rocky would song the most (the song of how adrian and him met) and even though the notes are all fucky adrian knows that tune

they've consumed me
