I keep seeing posts claiming that x y or z action you can do to build a better world won’t matter. That capitalism doesn’t care, and your own actions dont amount to much.
It’s so painfully individualistic. Of course me doing that thing isn’t going to save anybody or anything.
Im not trying to be a superhero who personally saves the say.
I am one leaf making oxygen in a massive forest of other trees making oxygen. I am doing my best and having faith that millions of others will do their best as well.
Because that can and has made big changes over time. Like. That is just how change happens. Thats cultural shifts. Thats political shifts. Thats how lasting changes happen.
I don’t plant milkweed because I’m personally gonna save monarch butterflies. I plant milkweed because I know thousands of us are gonna plant milkweed and send money to the people fighting horrible pesticides in court.
The standard for change isn’t “is my doing this going to change the world?” The standard is “is my doing this part of the shift I want to see my community make?” And if the answer is yes, I do my best.

hoooo buddy this one is a three-fer. i couldn't fit everything i wanted on the dual pages and adding a whole other double page felt like a lot, ergo: 3 of them
alright that's the end of the scheduled uploads. lets see what happens to my upload schedule now.... also i have such an idea for each panel on that first page so im writing in what little task are happening in each in the close ups section
First - Previous - Next
close ups (+ transcript) \/
^ simon is making it up to rocky, helping him fix rocky's bed. this takes MUCH less time to do than when grace initially helped build it, despite 1 less limb in the equation
^ simon and grace are divvying up the clothes they have, seeing who gets what and which clothes they're gonna share. simon basically says "whatever" to "owning" any of the clothes options, despite grace's best effort to get simon to claim some clothes for his own
^ grace and rocky have a show they've been watching episodically day by day (just as an activity for them to look forward to and not go stir crazy), and damn them if some blood covered mutant human is gonna break their streak. you can headcannon for yourself what show it is
Theories:
1. They're an independent group of scientists that are paid to do illegal experiments by 3rd parties. Explains why they're lying about their experiments (you can't just "save stars") and maybe Rocky (Robot made by Grace? ACTUAL alien?) Will likely do psychological experiments on me, may have already started. Keep on your toes.
2. We're on the other side of the QR. Don't wanna think about this one too much, it'll hurt if it turns out to be wrong.
3. Honestly not sure about time travel. I never learned much about Earth history, but the year they're telling me (2026/2039 ad, EIC started around 1990ad I think?) makes no sense. They seemed confused when I used EIC and IMC. Our historical timelines don't match, but it's be bizarre to lie about...

I think this is Simon's first genuine smile in my fic. He gets to be excited, as a treat. Pilot Simon!
(Wip for my tenth chapter)
“I could give it a go,” Simon offered.
Ryland straightened and blinked. The frustration etched onto his expression loosened in his surprise.
Slowly Ryland turned to look at him. “You… could? You know how to pilot?”
Simon scoffed a little bit. “Of course I know how to pilot. I was a soldier in fucking space. It’d be pretty useless to-”
“You were a soldier.”
Simon froze. Did he not mention that? Shit. Information was slowly bleeding out of him, and regardless of the debt he owed, Simon was having a hard time not panicking at the valuable resource he was steadily sharing. Simon had wanted to keep his violence tightly contained, his crimes hidden from the crew. He tensed, hoping they wouldn’t connect the role with the word Butcher, that they wouldn’t think too hard about what Simon had to do as a soldier or what war he was fighting.
Information was the only thing he had to vouch for his survival.
If he proved to be useless, they wouldn’t keep him. If he didn’t help with the mission, they could let the Eridians take him to their planet. Ryland trusted them, but Simon knew that they wouldn’t just let him live on Erid in peace, not without the Savior of their world protecting him. Simon hated needing protection, but he wasn’t stupid enough to think he had any power over this situation. He was at the complete mercy of Ryland and the Eridians, and if he wasn’t good, then he needed to be useful. Simon was trying to be both, but the well of useful information he’d gathered was slowly drying up.
But if he had a role, if he could do something, then Simon would feel more secure in his place here. He just had to earn it.
Simon swallowed. “...I piloted smaller flighters. Nowhere near as fancy as this, but I was good at what I did. I’ve been watching how you do it. I think I can do it with one arm, if you take notes. We… could switch.”
“I… dunno,” Ryland exhaled. “It’s pretty tricky to fly this thing. It took me a long time to figure out.”
“I’ve flown in space before, and I didn’t need any fancy shit to do it either,” Simon huffed and then took a steadying breath, “Look- you’re tired, no point in arguing it- I’m bored out of my mind and I know how to do this. Let’s switch. I know we move it 100 clicks out, then you gotta redo the search grid before we do this all over again. 360 turn, stop, angle it up 5 degrees, 18 planes- I’ve been paying attention.”
“I didn’t think you hadn’t,” Ryland protested. “It’s easier to watch than do.”
“If I suck, I won’t ask again,” Simon said. “I know you have no reason to trust m-”
“It’s not that!” Ryland said, “I just-”
He looked over at Rocky and Adrian and stopped. He let out a long sigh and raised his eyebrows at them.
“It is Grace’s ship. Rocky cannot decide.”
“Adrian wants to see Simon fly ship,” Adrian said. That’s why they were his favorite. Simon gestured to them and then gave an expectant look to Ryland.
“So?” Simon prompted, unable to keep the hope from fluttering in his chest.
“Alright,” Ryland sighed. “It's hard to get the hang of, so if it doesn't work out, it’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with being a note taker-”
Simon grinned and unbuckled his seatbelt. He drifted in zero gravity, angling toward Ryland’s seat. Much more reluctantly Ryland started to unbuckle, and Simon clasped his shoulder amicably. “You won’t regret this.”
Ryland jolted at the touch at the same time he released the claps on his seatbelt, wobbling a bit like he had forgotten how to move in zero gravity.
“Right! Uh, yeah, I mean, no, sure, give it go!” Ryland stumbled. “Hopefully the flighters you piloted have comparable mechanisms-”
Simon tuned him out. He was thrumming with excitement as they switched places. The throttle was warm and sweaty, but Simon didn’t care. It was smooth and sleek and new. It was the nicest cockpit he’d ever been inside, nowhere near the rust buckets Eden and COI had. He couldn’t contain the smile twitching at his lips as he took a steadying breath to calm his nerves. Don’t screw this up.

"if Grace is Simon's star then what's Simon to Grace?" "What's Simon to Grace if Grace is his Savior?" "It's not equal-"
YOU FOOL, YOU ABSOLUTE BAFOON
Simon is Grace's MOON
Simon is giving Grace's world gravity. Pushing and pulling his routines to help him keep going. He's keeping Grace grounded, keeping his head out of the clouds and his own mind. When the day is done Simon is there to pull Grace to bed and lets him be calm, gives him quiet and comfort.
Simon reminds grace of his own light, reminds him all he's done when his mind gets dark. Simon is his night light, making sure Grace is never alone when things seem bad, he's never alone again even when Rocky isn't always there anymore.
SIMON IS JUST AS MUCH AS GRACE'S SAVIOR AS GRACE IS TO HIM
even better if simon doesnt care or doesnt know immediately. like he's just going about his business surviving the apocolypse and happens across ryland by chance and rylanf is like "dude you're like EXACTLY the guy i've been looking for to fix this thing" and simon is like "who are you can you please get out of my fucking house"
OR MAYBE simon gets tossed around from scientist to scientist bc he's a Wierdo Freak Who's Immune and when he finally gets fed up with the mistreatment and breaks free (and burns down the whole complex in the process) who does he take hostage? THE ryland grace ofc

Them. Fun fact: Ryan Gosling is six feet and half an inch tall, and Markiplier is five feet and eight and three-quarters inches tall. Simon is shorter than Grace. ♥
