Was thinking about bloodymary and the theory of Simon being from a timeline where the Hail Mary failed which is what caused the Quiet Rapture. And how it would be really interesting if Iron Lung's Hail Mary failed because Ryland never went on the ship (or died during the fishing trip on Adrian).
Because since the Hail Mary succeeded in PHM then there has to be a version of Simon who was born on Earth instead of Mars and grew up to be a regular ass person instead of the Convict from Iron Lung (because quiet rapture didn't happen).
At first I was thinking Simon would just be Markiplier, but then I remembered Engineer Mark from In Space With Markiplier. So in conclusion Simon in PHM is literally Engie (who is just Simon without the trauma)
Now I'm thinking about an au where engie and his space crew end up meeting with Grace and Rocky, and Engie is just sooo excited to meet the guy who literally saved the universe (because he watched the old logs from the probes since it was shared on the internet in the future) and made him dream of going to space. Then sees Simon and is so flabbergasted because why is this guy his look alike?? Is this him from another universe???
But since I'm using the same year for engie that Simon is from (which is like 2340 or smth) then that brings up the question of how Grace and Simon would still be alive 300 years later?? Frankly idk and idc, time dilation or whatever.
