Continuing the swap AU, the blood ocean has strangely affected Grace and he refuses to understand its consequences

aroace sick and tired of hearing his hopeless romantic brother go on and on about his wife and how whipped he is for her

In this AU Ryland has been living on Erid for a while and is fully engaged with Eridian culture.

They decide to send more automated ships out to save other stars besides just Earth’s and Eric’s star. On the way the find a red moon fully filled with trees and plant life. The soil is obviously made with dead plant matter but it also seems to show sign of being made with blood as well…but that’s impossible, right?

They explore this planet directly by sending a team of Eridians and Ryland. They end up showing that a large portion of the plant life derives from one specific tree. The tree is large and the root grow deep into the moon. It must be hundreds of years old.

The Eridians claim the tree has a heart beat and that there is a human inside. Ryland thinks they must be mistaking a primate looking creature that lives in the tree for human. When they finally dig into the tree they find a man stuck in a coma keeping the tree alive with his heart.

The Eridians want to take the man back but Ryland worries that either the man is keeping the whole forest alive or that the tree is keeping the man alive.

They figured that, since the moon’s star died out a long time ago, they could take the man back with them to attempt to keep him alive so he doesn’t end up dying with forest.

Oh when will the angst stop…

Happy international cat day!! Ofcourse delivered in a bloodymary package

Plant Talk - Part 3

Just assume there's a translator for Adrian somewhere I didn't want to draw it </3

Next part is gonna be 3.5—I didn't want to consider it a full part since it strays away from the main plot of Simon talking to plants, plus I think the comic will still make sense without needing part 3.5. But I felt like it really boosts the message I'm trying to tell, so I'm including it. It will be done in traditional sketches as I'm traveling and I want to keep making Plant Talk parts even tho I won't have access to my digital drawing supplies... for a while actually...

part 10 is here, I took a week off because of a heat wave and these parts are taking me longer because I'm putting more effort in, but hopefully I can still post weekly

read the previous parts here

Colder, colder, colder still

I was mentioning to some folks about how a biblically accurate Simon, to me, is a Simon who is just besotted, smitten, “down bad” for Grace. To the point where if he heard Grace call him his boyfriend/lover/partner what have you my GOD his metaphorical dog ears would perk up and that tail would be WAGGING like “that’s ME! I’M his boyfriend! ME!”

Simon, to me, is someone who once he loves (and even more so when he is loved in return), he is locked IN.

So then this mini comic happened, featuring COI Scientist Grace LOL

When you’re too good at your job (because you’re the only one they didn’t send down in the SM-8) you’re deemed too important to risk losing so you can pull your weight and when you’re given a convict for “experimentation” you instead use him as a lab assistant/accidentally fall super hard for him
