“Oh yeah this is rocky! Hes asleep at the moment, he’ll be up and excited to meet you later, yadda yadda—“

And simons just thinking holy shit my life was saved by this insane man. He talks to a rock. He saved the stars? He talks to a rock. He talks to a rock that he keeps in some weird glass ball

And than later rocky finally wakes up, but simon doesn’t realize the rock is moving until hes directly behind simon and going “hello new human! Am roocky! Why screaming, question?”

Cause he did. He wakes up in one of two situations, idk how but how does simon ever end up in phm with grace

1. As a kid in eden. He goes about his life being manipulated into thinking grace was some elaborate dream. Then hes put on the sm-13 and all that happens. In this one, he would lose his arm getting out of his og cult, which adds extra confusion when hes suddenly twelve years old, his mother is dying, hes back in some even worse version of his cult, and hes no longer an amputee

2. He wakes up on the iron lung, and is smart enough to stay alive in this unfamiliar and deeply horrifying world and all hes thinking about is his husband grace. He didnt lose his arm in escaping his cult cause i want this to be his body and i want him to have to rip it off. Ava thinks simon is pretending to have lost his memory to try to get out of this

Grace doesnt know any of this. All he knows is his his husband is missing, presumed dead. Of course, he never gives up hope. He knows simon is alive, he just knows it. A couple years pass maybe, and hes recruited to project hail mary. Bla bla bla all that happens normally. Eva’s little speach about him having no one is slightly changed but it hits harder.

I want grace to find simon before he ultimately remembers him, because their obviously going to meet again. But this means grace either remembered simon really late(would make sense, depending on how many years simon went missing before the events of phm.) or simon gets there like mid main movie on the hail mary

Either way, grace doesn’t remember him. If you chooe option number one for simon, they re get to know each other in a similar ways. Simon blocked out some of his life with grace, grae doesnt remember anything, but they remember things about each other while geetting to know the new versions.

If you choose option number two, theres more angst in that for simon, it has been at most a day or two since hes seen grace. Hes still gone through the horrors, but everything about his husband is fresh on the mind.

But grace hasnt seen him in years, and doesnt even remember him. But that means simon also has to grapple with this new version of a man he saw not too long ago.

Grace has migraines constantly from the stress of meeting a man covered in blood in the middle of space, and then remembering marrying this man years ago.

But point is, grace is an amputee, but simon doesn’t realize. Why would he? He didnt know humans could have wings.

Grace attempts to bond with simon over losing a limb(or two, technically?) and is mostly referring to his and simons supposed wings, but to simon, it just comes across as grace acting insanely weird about his arm. So simon picks a fight, says grace will never understand, yadda yadda, grace is confused and hurt, bla bla bla.

What im thinking happens next doesnt have to be what happens for you.

After, say, a couple weeks of simon avoiding grace(things changes things whether its on the hail mary or in the biodome) maybe walks in on grace shirtless for whatever reason, maybe the pebbles are on a fieldtrip and he got splashed when they were playing in the artificial ocean, but simon sees the twin scars on his back, and asks cause he cares less about manners, idk he grew up in a cult and im scared of mischaracterization

OR grace sees simon shirtless for whatever reason and realizes he doesn’t have and leftover scars. Weird. Usually, amputation leaves behind scars.. grace is smart, sometimes, he’ll figure it out. With either very little tact Or insane anxiety that has him take a while to actually ask, grace realizes people dont have wings where simon comes from. I want grace to explain the miscommunication to simon.

I'm drawing a phm mlp au and I'm currently trying to decide on graces cutie mark

“Oh yeah rocky your speaking sounds similar to this earth thing called music”

But i think i like the reverse with vampire grace with loose morals even more.

“Im a horrible person. Im a convict. A murderer. You would have been better off finding someone else. I was in the blood ocean for a reason”

Make him a diety or angel some sort and meet a simon with intense religious trauma who is convinced this guy who saved him is an angel and might also potentially be right

When markiplier played iron lung the game there was a brief moment he said something about a soren of the blood ocean cause of the music. Make simon think this. Make grace a siren, sent to space(light years away from any body of water) and try to hide this from siren further when he realizes this bit of simons trauma

Make grace a selkie. Please. I dont care if simon is in this one or not I NEED HIM TO BE A SELKIE SO BADLY

Make grace a demon, and simons keeps calling him an angel and its gets incredibly awkward and weird

Make grace a vampire who barely holds himself back from cleaning this strange bloody man (extra points if you make it so hes killed people before so he could eat, and hes wondering what to tell this human who says he’s a horrible murderer and ‘you’ll never understand’ and just all emo or some shit)

MAKE GRACE A SELKIE

Make him a shapeshifter of sorts, like a fox shifter, whos animal was never meant to be on anything but land, but is sent to space, and will never see a forest again. Make simon learn what the hell a fox is.

Make grace be able to turn into a bird. Make him never have the time to fly/being, ahem, chicken out when hes about to fly or something, but miss it terribly in space, when he realizes he’ll never fly again. imagine simon watching grace soar in the biodome(not important but i jmagine theres a special flight more for the sky screens so he doesnt smack into them forgetting its not endless) just after learning what a bird is

Make him a unicorn idk

I just have a need for creature ryland grace that’s STILL SENT TO SPACE. I NEED NEED NEED this angst so bad i will beg
