Statement of Jay Merrick

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.

Guys guys. Continue giving Simon only one arm in your fics, please. I beg. Straight up iron lung fics or BloodyMary ones doesn't matter if it takes place after the events of "oh holy shit he just ripped his own arm off" KEEP IT THAT WAY!!! GIVE THE MAN TRUAMA! MORE OF IT! A CONSTANT REMINDER OF WHAT HE WAS PUT THROUGH! MAKE THE OTHER CHARACTERS SEE IT AND GO "oh shit that guy's missing an arm" becAUSE THEN IT'S A VISIBLE REPRESENTATION THAT HE CAN'T EVER GET RID OF! ahem. :D
