#amputee simon

I know that Simon would win a fight against Grace, they are made different and all that. However, it seems that when they meet Simon always goes ready to kill (which is justificable given his past), and Grace just there been like "Hello I'm Ryland Grace..." and PUM! Simon is over him ready to suffocate him and Grace is like fighting to breath, but never hurting Simon, just struggling against him, and the fight ends usually by: 1) Simon is able to heard reasons and gives Grace a chance but is very suspicious of him, 2) he just passes out, because pain and exhaustation would do that to your body, or 3) (and the funniest one to me) Rocky appears (like the saviour he is) and knocks Simon out.

I would want to introduce the idea of Grace fighting back.

Grace may seem like a stable person at first in comparison to his companions; an alien who had live in solitude so long that has separation issues, and Simon who is his whole case of study with mentions of cults, facing god and been a child soldier. However, Grace is an anxiety bomb, who has a bad history with people, I think that if Simon just jumps over him, Grace would fight like a mad man.

It doesn't matter which Grace you know or like the most (personally my mind have just make an amalgam of the book and the movie) he would have the motivation to fight; Book!Grace, who was drug in the spot and sent to a cell to wait to be sent to die would fight now that he can, because he knows what kind of stuff happens if he doesn't react fast enough; Movie!Grace is a person who panics, but after a moment of shock he reacts as we saw in the movie doing his best attempt to dodge guards and ran as fast as he could. Besides, Grace wants to live, that is the origin of his determination to get through things, so if he thinks that Simon is going to kill him he would fight.

Of course, he can't win, and he knows he can't win, but he would try, bitting and scratching, kicking and squirming. Let him play dirty; If Simon's amputation is fresh, let Grace prick the exposed nerve; if Simon has raw, sensible skin from the mutation, let Grace scratch there; If Simon is close enough, let Grace poke his eyes.

Grace finished mixing something in a plastic bag before handing it over. It was cool, almost uncomfortably so against the tender healing skin of his palm. Simon had spent so much agonizing time in that hell pit of a submarine, feeling like he was being slowly cooked alive, that he felt a slight sting of tears in his eyes at the cool sensation. He looked at his hand holding the bag of food. He looked at the spoon in it. He looked at the spot where he no longer had an arm. Anger bloomed again in him.

“I can’t eat without a fucking table” Simon growled.

Grace jumped to his feet, red spreading across his face, “I’m so sorry! I wasn’t thinking! They didn’t exactly give us a dining room.” He picked up a large box from its place next to some fancy-looking lab equipment next to Simon. Simon set the cool bag down on the table and stared.

“You take a bite first”. He finally said. Grace stared and looked down at his own food and took a bite. “Of what you served me dipshit. I don’t trust you didn’t put anything in it.”

“Oh” Grace said softly. “Yeah, I can do that.” Grace approached him slowly to dip his spoon into the creamy mush in Simon’s bag. “Wait, do you have any allergies Butcher?”

“Yeah, I’m allergic to suspicious fucks.”

Grace chuckled before taking a bite from the spoon. “Happy?” Grace garbled, still chewing a bit.

“Swallow.” Grace chewed a moment more and swallowed. Simon stared, and then, finally convinced, absolutely bore down on the food in the bag.

Food was coveted in the COI, but slightly less so in Eden. Eden was not trying to prepare to survive for generations after. The COI was fighting the inevitable, but Eden had accepted it. They did not indulge, but they fed their soldiers enough to keep them stronger than the enemies. But despite it all, food was never more than another tool. Even to the COI, food and starvation was a tool to demand obedience. Simon had not been well fed when he entered the SM-13, and he certainly wasn’t fed while in it. He was fiercely hungry.

helo, i made something a bit ago

Its actually so important to me that Simon is disabled, or when any character has a disability to be honest.

With Simon specifically, I will be making sure that man loses his arm. Even if its an au, even if its a modern au, he's losing that arm. And he'll be lucky if thats the only thing I do to him.

I do, however, need to do more research to have a more and fuller understanding because I myself am not an amputee. (But thats why its important to me that I dont take that away from his character.) I want to better represent and make sure I dont misrepresent experiences that I myself have not lived.
