I know that Simon would win a fight against Grace, they are made different and all that. However, it seems that when they meet Simon always goes ready to kill (which is justificable given his past), and Grace just there been like "Hello I'm Ryland Grace..." and PUM! Simon is over him ready to suffocate him and Grace is like fighting to breath, but never hurting Simon, just struggling against him, and the fight ends usually by: 1) Simon is able to heard reasons and gives Grace a chance but is very suspicious of him, 2) he just passes out, because pain and exhaustation would do that to your body, or 3) (and the funniest one to me) Rocky appears (like the saviour he is) and knocks Simon out.

I would want to introduce the idea of Grace fighting back.

Grace may seem like a stable person at first in comparison to his companions; an alien who had live in solitude so long that has separation issues, and Simon who is his whole case of study with mentions of cults, facing god and been a child soldier. However, Grace is an anxiety bomb, who has a bad history with people, I think that if Simon just jumps over him, Grace would fight like a mad man.

It doesn't matter which Grace you know or like the most (personally my mind have just make an amalgam of the book and the movie) he would have the motivation to fight; Book!Grace, who was drug in the spot and sent to a cell to wait to be sent to die would fight now that he can, because he knows what kind of stuff happens if he doesn't react fast enough; Movie!Grace is a person who panics, but after a moment of shock he reacts as we saw in the movie doing his best attempt to dodge guards and ran as fast as he could. Besides, Grace wants to live, that is the origin of his determination to get through things, so if he thinks that Simon is going to kill him he would fight.

Of course, he can't win, and he knows he can't win, but he would try, bitting and scratching, kicking and squirming. Let him play dirty; If Simon's amputation is fresh, let Grace prick the exposed nerve; if Simon has raw, sensible skin from the mutation, let Grace scratch there; If Simon is close enough, let Grace poke his eyes.

Leave it to Me to start shipping Every Ryan character with every Mark ego now.

Very important to me that Simon essentially comes from an alien culture from grace’s pov.

I imagine the way you express gratitude or well wishes in Eden has to do with the tree also, a more formal expression might be ‘May thy body rot and nourish the soil and join the creator in eternity,” but in casual speech it gets shortened and sounds. very unsettling. To those not in the know.

Bloodymary au where everything is normal and Simon is just Grace’s weird roommate bc he lives in California on a teachers salary, and sometimes they pretend to be in a relationship so people stop asking Grace questions about his love life (ft coltland twins).

so yesss!!!! my hypothetical anthrpology #myhypotheticalanthropology

I kinda wanted to approach Eden and the COI not as Evil Cult Society and Evil Industrial Society (since personally i just find that less interesting) but more as two diverging human cultures that adapted to intense circumstances in different ways. that isn't to say that there aren't harmful aspects to them, much in the way that there are harmful aspects to real human societies.

So anyway back 2 my markiplier space movie conlang

And I will carve our names into the skies on the roots we've grown from nothing.

Sorry I'm currently stuck in the Gosling!Verse and shipping all the things, BloodyMary (honestly who came up with this brilliant name) included! Hope you like this spicy little comic :3

Saw the tweet, the concept of Simon putting his hair up GRAHAGHA, it has me in such a chokehold bro istg, imma draw iron lung grace later. Also i need more adrian and simon interacting

birthday time, and i say bloodymary ship post because what do you mean the internet cooked up this absolute masterpiece

my gift to myself is drawing grown men with connection issues, fuk yeh babi

i dont know where i first heard this from, but i subscribe to the idea that the IL universe is an alternate timeline of the HM universe. the stars got ate now everything sucks

like grace looks at simon and sees someone who doesnt hesitate. someone who's strong, resiliant, confident, and resourceful. puts himself first. all things that grace thinks he doesnt have. maybe, if he were more like simon, he wouldn't have ended up here

vs simon who thinks grace might be the most selfless, kindest person he's ever met. the guy who volunteered to die in space of it meant earth would be saved. the school teacher who learned how to pilot a spaceship and communicate with an alien. the goofy fuck who befriends everyone like its simply default for people to just...like him.

SO Did a bit more reading abt @lairongy 's au and idk this rb too....

(It reminded me of the Tenna Deltarune hc where he changes size based on his mood....)
