Rocky you can't just say that. I've been saving this Tiger Tiger reference in my pocket for awhile. And I missed my chance with warframe. So bloodmary you got cursed with it. Do actually read Tiger Tiger tho.
From @twinkdeath-of-the-universe: Ryland working on something in the lab and Simon walks up behind him and human-blankets over his shoulders (bonus if this is the first time he's ever been touchy-feely with Ryland and he has no fucking clue how to react to this new information)
Ryland is finding out more than just how to maybe engineer enough sugar to make Skittles....
A teacher and his aquarium
Names...
It's funny how some names survive when others don't.
I had a strong vision for this one.

You understand
Another BloodyMary Subnautica AU fic update!
Chapter one of my bloodymary fic set in the Subnautica universe is nearly complete, and chapter two has had some good progress made! I'm super excited about this fic. It's been so nice to feel this inspired to write again!! Here is the summary, ao3 link coming soon!
Summary:
Countless pre-recorded distress calls investigated, and countless dead ends discovered, Ryland Grace had given up on finding any other human survivors on Planet 4546B. But when he and Rocky take a trip into the darkest depths of a nearby trench in search of a cure for the Kharaa Virus, they intercept the radio signal of a man named Simon, and this distress call isn’t just another recording. There’ve been signs of other sentient life on the planet before them, sure, but Ryland didn’t think he and Rocky would actually find someone else—let alone somebody alive! Whoever he is, this Simon guy needs help- and he needs it fast.
Trying to be comforting after being called the butcher for the majority of your life and it not going well.. yeah that would ruin my day
I see Grace as the guy who as soon as emotional stuff happens he's like "I've gotta go process this!"

For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words).

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

one must imagine simon iron lung happy
plus, stood about three feet away (the best wingbuddy):
close ups + no text under cut :]
things in phm that really tickled me as a marine biologist:
the concept of star-eating microbes causing a crisis and the solution being the introduction of space wolves to space yellowstone to control the space elk population. i love a good trophic cascade
dr ryland grace immediately pitching "turn the spaceship into a giant centrifuge to generate gravity" and then not balancing his actual centrifuge later on
the entire "life is reason" scene really
grace forgetting to open the mystery alien container in a fume hood AND immediately sticking his nose in it. if we did this in chemistry lab we were executed on the spot
academia drama being one of the cornerstones of grace's character
grace switching through every spectrum setting on the microscope to try to see into the astrophages and not being able to (relatable)
also: the astrophage dying and grace going "ohhh it died..." (very relatable)
grace having his not-scientist buddy Carl to give him frank solutions when he's overthinking. yes, often the solution is just to put the box in another box
copious duct tape usage
just sticking a filter into the path of the petrova line to collect astrophage goop
eva going "so it's alive" when grace tells them the astrophage are moving, and him being like "WELL ok that could be for a lot of reasons" in the tone of someone who doesn't even know where to start explaining why that's a hasty assumption
grace referring to the first new astrophage as his and carl's baby multiple times (HIGHLY relatable)
humanity's greatest hope being a teacher. humanity being saved by grace's ability to find novel ways to communicate well with others -- something that made him excellent as an educator, and enabled him to bond with rocky
One of my favorite Bloodymary tropes is Simon dropping some random childhood trauma lore and mandated-reporter-middle-school-teacher Grace going:
Just a cute Rockdrian Animatic. And nothing else. Definitely not about survivors guilt. Who said that?
Grace, realizing he's been talking non stop for the past 40 minutes: Ah, uh sorry. Im going to shut up now-
Simon, who cannot stand a silence anymore, grabbing him by the collar: if you shut up i will die. Now, explain to me how you defended this thesis of yours.
Grace, internally: Is this what love is?

Normally I like to throw Simon into the PHM 'verse so he can be happy, but let's switch things around for a sec.
Grace fell asleep in his biodome on Erid, and wakes up in the middle of a submarine at the bottom of the blood ocean. He (and Simon) are understandably freaked out by his sudden appearance, and Grace is even more freaked out by his surroundings. They're shouting at each other, Simon is ready to fight, swearing up a storm, while Grace is trying to simultaneously cower away and not touch any of the blood-soaked walls. It's pure chaos.
Suddenly the radio kicks on, Ava demanding to know what's happening. Simon does his best to explain, but he's frustrated and confused and not entirely convinced this is real. But then Grace cuts in, and starts to ramble as he tries to figure out how he got there, talking about wormholes and hallucinogens and the side-effects of long-term heavy metal exposure. He's flustered, and when he gets flustered, he starts talking.
And up on the surface, Ava just freezes. Because she doesn't know how the fuck Grace got down there, but she knows what he is. And what he is, is a scientist, something humanity desperately needs. The Quiet Rapture wiped out most of the human race's scientific minds, and the few that remained were fought over fiercely by the different factions, often to their detriment. Grace would be an incredible resource, if he actually knows as much as his ranting seems to imply.
The blood ocean might be able to help humanity, but a scientist definitely can. Especially a scientist with as diverse a portfolio as Grace. He may have started off as a microbiologist, but during his time on Project Hail Mary and his mission to Tau Ceti, Grace has picked up a little bit of everything. He is arguably the smartest person alive in the universe at the moment. And while Ava might not realize this, she knows enough to recognize that he's valuable.
She orders Simon to come back up to the surface.
