Welcome to my Dark Little Corner

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I write for varying forms of media ranging from different places, usually going by fixations but I still write for them nonetheless. If I seem or sound familiar, you may remember or have seen me on Wattpad back in the day. I migrated my work here to Tumblr and onto a separate blog from my main, and don't use Wattpad anymore.

Just some personal stuff to get to know me:

- My name’s Camron but you’re free to just call me Cam or even Odd, if you like.

- Nonbinary: Gender Queer/Apathetic. You can refer to me with any pronouns or terms you want (he/she/they), doesn’t matter. I am AFAB but that’s practically trivial here I write for all types of people.

- I’m in college (Theatre Acting and Tech). So if I burnout and don’t write then that’s often why, please don’t think that I died or something.

- I’m Hispanic/Mexican and although it’s not a massive deal in my writings, I do take pride in being POC since I feel like it should be known that POC people can have a place in fandom too and not be treated differently or rejected.

Anyways. Feel free to navigate through this post so that you can see all of my works, fandoms that I write for, and discourse with readers, along with other things such as rules and the like.

Any and all interactions with and regarding my works are greatly appreciated (likes, reblogs, replies, inbox convos, etc) 🖤🤍

THE TOLL OF THE BELL (INBOX AND REQUEST STATUS)

THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL (RULES)

THE COLLECTION (MASTER LISTS)

LITTLE SHADOWS (ANON LIST)

But when Grace scolds him Rocky just fully goes “Rocky not being rude. On Erid, bigger and heavier mate is ideal because can defend and insulate clutch better. Very sought after. Many Eridians fight with others to mate with. Rocky giving compliment, statement.”.

Bloodymary x reader teacher au (no astrophage no iron lung) where you and Grace are married, you also teach something science related (your choice), AND your classrooms are right next to each other. Simon is the new biology and extracurricular engineering teacher whose classroom is the one on the other side of one of yours. He’s a little introverted but you and Grace really want to get to know him for totally normal reasons (lie). And it’s slowly working. It’s a slow burn and it’s like pulling teeth but that man is gonna become your third ON GOD

I have many other ideas for this but I NEED to know if y’all see the vision. Do you see what I’m putting down?

(CW: Gender neutral reader, medical stuff, Simon having symptoms of PTSD and self loathing tendencies, & a few religious themes)

The discovery of the Iron Lung and thus Simon in the ocean of blood was jarring. He was barely clinging to life and surely wouldn’t have survived the trip back to Erid if it weren’t for your efforts with Grace and Rocky. He was lucky that you were the desegnated medic of the Hail Mary that managed to survive. No offense to the boys but Simon needed all the medical attention he could get considering he was missing an arm, experiencing cell mutations, and needed to be placed under a medically endured coma to give him a chance to heal. During that period, the three of you were scratching your heads (and carapace). All you could confirm was his name. But how exactly does a submarine end up in an anomalous planet thats just an ocean of blood? You didn’t know, so you needed to hope that he remembered. Turns out Simon wasn’t too thrilled to wake up to two strangers and a weird rock spider in a hamster ball examining him when he the last thing he remembered was drowning in blood and condemned to die, let alone find out he’s on an alien planet.

It’s a slow process on developing trust. It takes Simon a while to realize that, no, you are not there to bring him back to the people who sent him to die. You have no clue what he’s even talking about. And, no, you and Grace are not angels and Erid/the biodome is in fact not heaven. He’s 100% alive and safe.

Even when he was in the “I’m dead, this is heaven” phase, Simon was a little reluctant to let you tend to him at all. It was like he was a scared animal that still didn’t know if he was safe or not. You and Grace tell him he is but how is he supposed to confirm that? If you’re not going to send him back and you’re not angels then what are you? Why would you want to help him? He’s a convict! He’s done terrible things! He’s even surprised he lets himself think that he would earn the right to be in heaven. You try to give him space. Grace might try his best to worm his way into being friendly a little too hard but you let Simon take his time.

It starts with you providing simple check ups where you regularly ask if he’s okay and wants to continue and helping dress his amputation with little to no attempts at small talk from you. The most you do is ask if he’s feeling well, has any symptoms, feels any different, or has any pain. You let the ball be in his court if he wants to talk at all. It takes a while and Simon tries to fight it but the fact that he can tell that you’re allowing him the choice coupled with how gentle you are with him starts getting to him. It’s been so long since he’s been treated like a human being rather than a dangerous animal and he can see that you, Grace, and the Eridians care about his comfort that nearly makes him cry.

The ball gets rolling more after it finally clicks for Simon that he truly is safe. He joins you and Grace on your walks around the biodome that serves as both “physical therapy” and showing him around his new home. He eats with you instead of just taking his food and eating in his living space that you gave him. He partakes in conversation. It takes him a long time to tell you everything because he’s scared that if he admits to what he is and what he did then you and Grace will actually turn on him and shun him. But then again, he feels like he must because it eats away at him to see you being so kind and considerate to him. He feels like he’s taking advantage of your kindness and he hates it. It comes as a shock when you and Grace don’t freak out. You listen to him. And what really tips him over the edge is when you and Grace basically tell him “Well, you haven’t done anything bad since you got here so either something changed within you or you just fell down the wrong path.”. You’re still continuing to care for him and see him as a person??? A person who can change??? Who’s allowed to change??? To be complex and have the chance to redeem themself instead of solely seeing him as either good or evil and aren’t scared of him???

Can you tell Simon’s been trapped in the guilty convict mindset for a long time?

Simon doesn’t ask to become you and Grace’s third. He can clearly see that you and Ryland are a couple and tries not to get in the way of that. He tries not to see the little moments he has with both you and Grace as anything romantic and will even reprimand himself when he does. He lets himself stay as your friend and third wheel. Furthermore, you and Grace don’t really mean to make Simon your third… it just kind of… happens??? Like you just absorb him into your relationship till he’s both of your boyfriends. Simon just finds himself in the cuddle pile and you’re just sort of forced into having that “What are we” conversation and you all confess that you have feelings for each other and awkwardly decide to give it a go.

I love the idea of Simon taking on the care of the plants and gardening in the biodome. After he opens up about his life before being placed in the Iron Lung, you and Grace find that the task is very healing for him. It gives him peace to not only see plants but be the one tending to them. And if he’s ever having a rough time but doesn’t want to talk about it, he uses it as a way of grounding himself till it’s passed or he’s ready to talk.

Simon is a man of few words. Originally it was because no one ever asked how he felt or what he thought. But now it’s just manifested as him just preferring to be the listener rather than the speaker. Which perfectly contrasts to Grace being a chatterbox when he’s talking about his research and discoveries. It is a bit intimidating at first because he’s this completely silent big string guy with this deeply brooding and intimidating resting face, but that’s literally just how his face is. He just sort of forgets to display emotions sometimes. Grace and you are sort of the one’s in charge of being those displays.

He’s still getting used to physical affection. He still jumps and stiffens up when you and Grace hug him, cuddle up with him, or lean your head on him but almost immediately melts once the shock leaves. But trust me, he secretly wants to be held in you and Grace’s arms when settling into bed. Give him a little peck on the cheek to make him feel loved. Simon mostly displays his affection through quality time. He’s like a cat. He just sort of goes off to maintain the garden and comes in and quietly bundles up with you two when the day is done.

Simon still has a ways to go. He still has his moments. Still gets nightmares that he’s either back in the lung drowning or he’s back in his cell rotting away and this was all just a dream. Things that trigger flashback and his flight or fight response. Sometime he’ll even relapse into moments where he’s just so full of anger and rage, though he never aims any of it at you and Grace. You give him his space when he needs it, but you also stay by him and help him come down. Remind him that it’s over. He’s safe. He’s changed. He’s redeemed. He’s earned his freedom.

Simon knows that this isn’t heaven.

Grace is very moved and endeared by the thought but seeing them without their punk stuff feels wrong on a molecular level.

At some point hes like "I appreciate you thinking about rock, but please put your stuff back on this feels wrong. Like, Xenon's a solid now kinda wrong" Reader absolutely loses it but agrees, and Grace gets a kiss cuz the reader adores that he loves their style,and by extension, them. Feels very validating, yknow?

Turns out rock was never scared, just curious as to why they dress like that lol. But never said anything cuz he appreciated the reader's intentions and didnt want to embarass them.

Also, teacher aesthetic Grace with a Punk! reader is so nice in my eyes (hi im biased, im punk). Just, light colors, dumb tshirts teacher and "I will fight the government with my bare hands" partner who defends education like its their life's mission. (And thats why,among other things like how kind the reader is, made Grace fall hook line and sinker for them)

And just you wait until Rocky learns about punk! Who knows how he will react ( Grace: Please dont turn the alien into an anarchist. Please please please. Yes i know it would be funny, but please think about it)

As a goth I’m so happy to see some of my alt brethren also being insane over this middle school teacher. I feel so validated. I love the idea of sweet ol’ Ryland with his silly science pun shirts and cozy cardigans with an intimidating punk as well.

I love the idea that before PHM you would often go to school district/board and city assemblies and meetings to discuss issues with certain things going on in the schools on Ryland’s behalf because if he raises them himself he might get fired. He doesn’t make you. He just tells you his concerns about certain things and you just march right into those meetings and raise them to the district members. It makes his heart swell seeing you as passionate about properly and freely educating the future and offering opportunities and equality for all students.

I’m pretty sure you intended to have the reader also be a part of PHM and thats why you’re on it with Grace but I do find the idea that you are literally just his partner who’s punk and very fierce and intimidating funny because that means they just threw you in there. I mean with Grace its like “Oh he’s all we have” but the thought that they threw you in there too make me think that they were like “If they find out we sent them off they will come over here and kick all of our asses. And we DO NOT want to deal with that. Go ahead and nab them too. I’m sure they can find something to do. But for the love of god contain them on that ship because we’d prefer our faces NOT get familiar with the bottom of their boots.”. A fully punk scientist who’s also Grace’s partner is sick as fuck though. So it’s your choice.

He appreciates that you take it upon yourself to take off all your intimidating punk gear so that you don’t scare Rocky. That means a lot to him considering him and Rocky are so close and you value the rock’s comfort over your expression even though you probably never cared for making yourself “approachable” to people on earth. I will agree though that seeing alt people without their alt makeup, clothes, and gear on is so weird. I feel weird when I’m not wearing my signature makeup, long skirts, and boots. Both Grace and Rocky probably feel weird seeing you without it too. Like it’s still you but like… not? Rocky is defiantly fascinated by the fact that your clothes have spikes and studs on them. Asking things like “(Name) use to look big and intimidating, scare off threats, question?” and you confirm and Rocky lets out the Eridian version of an “oooh”.

I feel like Erid would be more focused on science and technological advancements than any creative arts. It’s not necessarily frowned upon, they just value science more and most ‘art’ are depictions of their advancements and also blueprints and designing said tech.

But when you and Grace arrive with Rocky on Erid there’s this whole buzz and fascination about getting to learn about humans and earth and while, yes, you and Grace do share the science aspect, you end up also talking about art due to Rocky bringing up how humans have all these stories and tales, both history, fiction, and mythos and these things called plays and paintings. Of course they want to hear all about it and so they ask you about it and you share all that you can. And they are inthralled by it all.

You tell them the story of doomed mates like Romeo and Juliet and Eurydice and Orpheus. The consequences of hubris like Macbeth, Frankenstein, and Icarus. The passions that drive humans like revenge for The Count of Monte Cristo. Folk tales and legends of monsters to help guide away humans from danger like drowning in water with La Llarona, threats lurking in the dark through the Boogeyman, the screaming of banshees in the wind, fear of sickness disguised as tales of vampires. How humans might learn from these tales even if they aren’t real. It sounds silly and primal at first but it just sort of starts clicking for them. This is how humans learned to survive and become what they are till they grew to do more, how even after advancing in science and technology they continue to hold onto them through telling them and depicting them.

That’s when some decide to adopt the custom. Maybe once, a long time ago, early Eridians made up their own tales but it got left behind in favor of science and were just things they tell their young, or maybe they recall their own history. But then these few Eridians decide to recall them and retell them through their own attempts at art. Make their own versions of a painting. Or adopt this thing that you call “plays” to bring these ancestors back for a fleeting but memorable moment. Or maybe some Eridians decide to go full bohemian and make up their own tales and display them.

It’s soon explodes into this whole thing where they get to just… create. Create without the purpose of it being intended to advance. Create something to evoke a feeling or time. There’s just this new outlet that Eridans can have. And then boom! You basically just have a whole renaissance going on where it’s just rock aliens making weird rock alien art and it’s amazing.

I like to think that one of the first major art fads on Erid as depicting you and Grace (and Rocky) since they would want to memorialize the savior of the stars since Eridians would find out that humans don’t live as long and they want their future generations to know who you two were. So all the Eridian artists want to depict you and Grace in all your glory. But then as time goes on they get more creative. They slowly go from simple yet detailed portraits to depictions of how they see you, to depictions of your journey, and it’s just gets more artsy as it goes. And you literally couldn’t be any prouder because it feels just like how humans when from painting only their nobles to what art stands for now.

Even after you and Grace are gone, they continue on. They continue to create. Maybe they create an epic telling the story of the savors of the stars. Maybe someday they get their own Eridian Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Tennessee Williams, Picasso, Sondheim, Van Gogh, Frida, who knows what they will create.
