Iron Lung hot take - Simon is not violent. He's a tad aggressive. Temperamental, yeah. Impulsive, sure. His fear response is fight. But he is not inherently violent. So many fanfics I've read (bloodymary enjoyer over here hello) have him have such a violent introduction, where he just immediately goes into fight mode and attacks.
But I think, especially in the event he thinks he's somehow in another hallucinated experience, he would not default to violence. Look at him in the movie, see how often he pleads, see how often he apologizes, tries to explain himself, cries. He basically begs Ava for a chance to survive and it's only at the very end when the blood ocean monster is getting truly hostile that he starts to fight back.
Most of the movie he's finding his way out, trying to negotiate for his own survival and more often than not crying and pleading for it rather than fighting aggressively. He has a temper, he blows up, but he doesn't stay that way for long and apologizes after, he even apologizes to the little desk in the sub after he hits it.
That is not a violent character, to me. That's a scared character, sure. But not somebody who defaults to violence.
Many things make it clear he's the sort of character who has had to learn violence, has had to fight many times for survival. But not that he is somebody for whom it's the first thought, or even instinct. Maybe if he thinks he's being attacked. But if, say, he were to wake up in a new environment, I don't think he'd default to attacking everything. He'd be confused, he'd be scared, but he wouldn't be violent.
Hell, if he realized he had no real power (whether due to injuries or due to thinking he's hallucinating) there's a solid chance he would turn back to crying and begging to be free.
Idk. I don't think he's a violent dog. And I don't think he bites as much as other fans think. His track record isn't clean, and he's not the gentlest, but he's not violent, either. Sort of an awkward in-between.
I think that's part of the tragedy of his story. He's a convict, sure. He's responsible for a lot of death. But from what the movie gives us, it was unintentional. And that doesn't negate its impact, but it does change what that means about the kind of person he is.
He apologizes to the desk, for fuck's sake. He admits when he was scared. Asks how Jack is doing, and repeatedly apologizes for what he'd done even though he'd had no idea the impact it would have.
He's not a violent man. It kinda makes me sad that so many people seem to characterize him as such.

Thanks for the tag, @blueeyesblueties! I love how many tag games you tag me in, I love doing these /gen
Last Song: Currently listening to "Love, Hate" by Phantom Siita. The music video for this one is also great, and I think this song really shows Ado's influence on them
As I type my other answers, it's being followed by "Bisexual Anthem" by Domo Wilson (happy pride), "LGBT" by Cupcakke (happy pride x2), "Dance 'til You Stop" by Tom Cardy and Ninja Sex Party (I still genuinely love the Game Grumps), "Antonymph" by Vylet Pony (nostalgic despite never having heard it before a couple days ago), "HEWWO KITTY>:3c" by MAILPUP (a song I have been informed is unlistenable to anyone but me), and "The Slur Song" by BigfootsBiggestFan (happy pride x3)
Currently Watching: Isekai Office Worker! It's about an accountant that gets isekai'ed into a fantasy world and is really big on sorting out the kingdom's finances. Also there's a hot knight that's determined to make him take care of himself. Also they fucked to save his life. It's very much shameless yaoi
Currently Working On: I have two pieces of art I claimed for this year's DeanCas Horrorfest Reverse Bang, so I'm working on those fics! I'm also approaching 50 fics uploaded to AO3 (not counting the ones I orphaned years ago), so I'm working on finishing a fic I've been working on for literal years now so I can post it for the 50th. It's nothing impressive, but it means a lot to me at this point. Also some small craft projects irl, and I really need to finish my Art Fight ref sheets
Last Web Search: No clue, I don't have it set to save, but I do know I was looking up some of my favorite teas a little bit ago. Does that count?
last song: the game begins from death note the musical (english ver). i have been Obsessively listening to every song on the soundtrack i can find (planning on going to see the london production of it for my birthday in august!)

you can't say "hey has anyone noticed that M/M fic outnumbers F/F like 100:1ā or āit feels racist that only 3/202 characters on the ao3 top 100 ships list are Black and two of them are Alastor HazbinHotelā bc some ppl will start going like āoh so you think we should FORCE people to write about things they DONāT CARE ABOUT for WOKE????ā and youāll be like āno, iām pointing out that the conditions that created this disparity are informed by racism & misogynyā and ppl will say āitās not BIGOTED to only care about WHITE MENā and then the gargoyle king appears
