- Technical misshaps everytime he touches a machine. SM-13 went offline because of Ellie, not Simon, so it doesn't count. None of his brothers like when he takes up a console cus they KNOW something is gonna happen with him on the chair;

- Tendency to make noises whenever he's bored. It got hammered out of him over time, but if you leave him alone and unobserved for long enough, he just echolalias to himself just to fill the quiet;

- Because of the above, a pretty capable singer. No formal training and little interaction with music, but my man can hold a tune if put on the spot about it;

- Says some really out-of-pocket violent stuff for shits and giggles. "Haha wouldn't it be funny if you could actually pop people's heads like a grape when you pinch their heads from a distance?" No, Simon, it wouldn't, why would you say that???

- Similar to above, incredibly capable of some really profound, heartfelt lines completely out of nowhere. Incredibly, frustratingly inspiring. No, he won't elaborate or repeat them, either you heard them the last time or you didn't;

- Does the grabby hands thing at people when frustrated or angry. Used to do it way more as a kid and teen, now he tries to do it out of sight. Or it just scalates to straight up violence, why pretend when you can just choke a motherfucker?;

- He's not a masochist, it's just that existence post-Rapture is already keeping him at a constant high stress and constant pain baseline. The moment it tips below that threshold though is when he starts pulling weird shit and "testing his limits";

"Are you sure?" "I'm sure. And I need you to trust me."

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
