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
(Shout out to a tumblr user who I know has been doing a series of text posts about that, if anyone knows the username please let me know so I can credit them I’m just genuinely bad at remembering things like names)
