Fool Of A Took!

(Simon is confused by the wording)

Teacher Grace living his best life on erid

I got really inspired to try and make a Project Hail Mary music video!

I reworked a previous drawing.. comparison below! ♬⋆.˚

•Grover Cleveland Middle and High School do a school fair every year in the fall around Halloween

•and every year, without fail, Ryland gets voluentold to work shifts on the dunk tank. He does not understand why, but sure, whatever, he'll do it. He tends to make the most money when he's on dunk tank duty. People will pay a crap ton of money to throw a baseball and dunk Mr. Grace in the tank, apparently

•(they put him in a white shirt and everything. Ryland doesn't really question it)

•Simon ends up volunteering at the fair once he and Ryland start dating. He mans the entrance to the corn maze. They dress him up as a scarecrow

•Ilyukhina absolutely came to the school fair to A.) dunk Ryland in the tank and B.) make fun of Simon even if he, admittedly, makes a very cute scarecrow

•she takes a picture of him and sends it to Ryland. Ryland sets it as his lock screen and refuses to change it

•Simon keeps some spare towels with him at the stand to the corn maze, so when Ryland's on his breaks he can dry off. He also will usually run off to grab a hot chocolate or something for Ryland too. All of Ryland's coworkers are kind of jealous tbh

•Ryland's students *flock* to the corn maze. It's the one time of the year they're guaranteed a Simon Sighting

•Rocky helps build a lot of the booths and stuff, and he'll usually hang around and help the kids fix their booths if it's needed

•Colt will stop by too if his schedule allows. He's *gotta* dunk his brother in the tank. It's like. His civic duty

•the first time Courtland volunteered at the fair it was bc Ryland guilt tripped him into it

•(he pretended to be dead for *years*. Ryland is absolutely gonna milk that for all it's worth)

•(and I mean. Claire also goes to school here now. And Court is trying to be the Normal Stay At Home Dad. He's *gotta* volunteer at the school fair)

•Courtland got stuck manning the hot chocolate stand. He also spent the entire fair with his own b-plot going on--some rouge mercenary found him, and Courtland spent the whole time trying to take care of That Guy while also running the hot chocolate stand. He ends the night just. Covered in blood spatter. Everyone assumes it's just a costume and that he "finally got in the spirit of things". Simon, who is far more familiar with the sight of blood than he cares to admit to, is the only one who Knows

I’ve fallen victim to the crossover ship of a lifetime. (I’m writing a fic of them called Missing Piece by smol_ghosts. This was a thank you I drew for the support it’s gotten ❤️)
