Have we considered: Driver throwing up from sheer stress/anxiety. One of the things that absolutely captivates me about Driver as a character is that despite the fact that we see him act violently many times throughout the film, he always seems distressed by having to do so. The first time I watched the movie, I was honestly half-expecting that he would throw up at the end of the elevator scene— he just really looked like he was going to. Then there’s also the scene where he calls the crime boss on the phone (after threatening the guy with the hammer) and he’s shaking so hard the whole time and just dripping sweat. I could totally see him puking after that conversation just due to the overwhelming stress of it and the ongoing worry about Irene and Benicio.

I don’t know, I just really get the vibe that Driver would puke from intense stress. Obviously his threshold for how much stress he can handle is very high, but once that’s surpassed…

YOU GET ITTTT THAT IS A MAN WHO WAS SECONDS FROM HURLING HIS GUTS OUT😭 legit was waiting for him to vomit in the film ngl

(Gotta insert the gif later tumblr keeps making me rewrite this ask when a gif's added hhh)

Like, the adrenaline was drained from him and the sheer panic was settling in when it dawned on him that he, as the scorpion does by nature, stung and killed, again- he DEFINITELY was vomiting the second the elevator door closed💔 (Driver might voice and preform violence but, it's never his first instinct, he only bites when backed into a corner like an abused dog aaaAA)

Driver rarely vomits during getaway gigs but there have absolutely been times after a gig where he's dry heaving because something almost went wrong!

And Driver never stress vomits during stunt gigs because he knows that's a controlled environment!

Buuut maybe he had a stunt gig pre-booked before the whole Standard event so, Driver's stomach was in knots as he flipped the car in a flawless motion. He doesn't have time to politely turn before he's throwing up onto the ground once he steps out- his mind just so full of anxiety about Irene and Benicio that it decided to show that stress with a physical reaction!

Ofc Shannon is running over to Driver, wrapping his arm around Driver, telling the director to fuck off, he's bringing Driver home right *now* because he knows the kid and knows Driver doesn't just vomit for the hell of it- maybe he thinks Driver caught a bug or can tell the man is stressed, either way, he's bringing Driver back to the shop and making him rest for a little bit♡

Omggg- Grace of course feels bad for Simon, seeing the man in this state! Simon ofc tells him he doesn't need to to that, he's fine, he'll manage, he's done so far

But Grace is like "haha no, let me help you out, it will cut down on the clean up."

Which, Simon has no retort for because well...dang it Grace is right!

Omgg GALAXY THOUGHT

And of course the first few time Simon is completely unaware just how impacted his vomiting is now with the new teeth/torn mouth-

Aka: he manages to grab a basin/bucket but, vomit spews all over his side since his extended mouth/teeth set makes a new opening,,,poor Simon is so upset over this because it's just one more proof that he's mutated and "less human" 😭

Oooh you know it was on the vat- his body is NOT used to being on a boat for long periods of time so he is HELLA nauseous the first few weeks. He's tried all the anti-nausea pills they had, all the acupuncture points, has eaten his weight in ginger candies and yet the only thing that fixes the nausea is well, to puke.

And poor Stratt learns this the hard way😭 Grace warned her, telling her he was going to hurl but, Stratt thought he was just exaggerating/being dramatic to get out of this meeting.

Buuuut the are on the deck, the vat ofc always feels like it's moving more than it is-

"St-stratt I'm *hrk* I'm serious."

"And I'm two minutes late, pick up the pace Dr. Grace."

Stratt turns to face Grace....big mistake.

The moment she turns, she sees just how pale Grace is, that vacant expression someone gets when they're about to-

*hrk* *splatter*

Annnd there goes Grace's breakfast all over Stratt's shoes and bottom of her jacket. Stratt's eyes widen as she watches Grace throwing up.

Stratt isn't a squeamish person so she just grabs her phone/walkie-talkie.

"Yeah I'm going to be late, I have to bring Dr. Grace to medbay, no, no he's fine, just, seasick."

Grace wants to tell her to stop telling others his business but...he's not really in any position to do anything besides puke his guts out on his boss.

Eventually he has nothing left to hurk up.

"Sorry," he says, voice raspy from the acidic bile in his throat, "I'll uhm, I'll pay for dry cleaning."

"You'd never be able to afford that," Stratt plainly says as she fishes around in her pocket, pulling out a cloth and handing it to Grace, "wipe up, you have...cheerio chunks."

Grace sheepishly grabs the cloth and wipes his mouth and running nose.

"Th-thanks."
