It doesn’t even need to be explicitly religious I just think that Simon would feel as if he’s indebted to Grace because of yk food, water, housing, safety, love, care etc. like Simon isn’t stupid, he knows that Grace is a damn good person and he probably wouldn’t even do anything to Simon if Simon acted up— but it doesn’t matter because he NEEDS to deserve this. somehow. If Grace asks he’ll do it. (With some exceptions but nothing Grace would actually ask of him is something Simon wouldn’t do)

Also Grace should be aware of this but be out of his depth. Like okay yeah this guy is definitely in a situation where the power dynamics are completely messed up sooo can his consent really count?? But how tf is Grace supposed to make him act independently— ASKING HIM TO DO THAT IS JUST ABUSING HIS POWER OVER THE MAN AGAIN

And they go in a loop of “I want to do whatever you ask of me because you saved me and I don’t deserve this. Also do you know how many people I’ve killed, I’m a horrible monster who will do anything to live.”

“Okay yeah that was messed up BUT I believe that despite it you’re a redeemable person and I want to help you live a life where you get to choose what to do because I’m like so sure it isn’t murder.”

“…okay whatever you say.”

AC3 - Green Dragon Tavern - 20x20 (NO CC)

The Green Dragon Tavern in Boston from Assassin’s Creed 3, built as accurately as possible in the Sims 4! A full bath is included for Sim functionality and gameplay. Some anachronistic items (e.g. the piano, vintage radio, etc) are included for more gameplay interactions, and some decor as well, but feel free to remove them.

*Turn on bb.moveobjects and all debug cheats before placing. Enjoy!

when real people do kink in real life, you gotta do all that good out-of-scene stuff like discuss boundaries, set limits and expectations, check in with each other, do aftercare, et cetera et cetera et cetera... but in fiction, everything can be in-scene!

the people in that fanfic don't exist any more than, like, the make-believe sexy football star and make-believe sexy cheerleader in a couple's roleplay exist. that couple doesn't need to get into character and then pretend to be a sexy football star having an important consent conversation with a sexy cheerleader, because that's a conversation that's already happened out-of-scene and out-of-character. (i mean, if you're into in-character negotiations, chase your bliss.) when they're in that scene, they can just pretend to be a sexy football star having sex with a sexy cheerleader. that's okay.

when i say in fiction, everything is in-scene, i mean that the fiction IS the scene.

if someone went up to their partner and said "hey, wouldn't it be sexy if we pretended you were manipulating and controlling me in an unethical way for sex reasons?", and then they talked through all the good and necessary consent and risk-awareness things, and then they played that scene out - that's a made-up scenario where pretend bad things happen, but no real-world people come to real-world harm, right?

now, if someone writes a story where one character manipulates and controls another in an unethical way for sex reasons... that, too, is a made-up scenario where pretend bad things happen, but no real-world people come to real-world harm.

Simon not having been taught a bunch of stuff ppl on earth would usually learn in school bc Eden only taught him what he specifically needed to know

He thinks he’s stupid and feels ashamed right right

And Grace is like!!! Actually you’re really smart you’re just uneducated!!! AND GUESS WHAT I AM!!!!

Anyway Grace having a really really good time teaching Simon anything he asks about and Simon having a good time too bc Grace is actually a really good teacher

And Simon slowly learns to be unashamedly curious, something that he thought Eden had stamped out

Both in colour and monochrome

I headcanon him and his S/O handfeed eachother berries while foraging and he always gives her the best ones 🫐
