em!!! omg okay I have a lot of thoughts about this…

I think the first time patty gets sick with a particularly nasty case of the flu, simon kind of freaks a little because he’s not used to having someone depend on him for comfort like this. as a kid, simon’s parents didn’t really take care of him—or any of their kids—when they got sick, they didn’t want to come down with whatever nasty bug their children caught so they kept them at arm’s length, instead insisting that whatever nanny/housekeeper they had that month take care of everything. because the help around the house was ever changing, it wasn’t like simon even had a surrogate-mother or father figure. he felt like a patient at a hospital with impersonal doctors and nurses at best.

patty on the other hand, had the exact opposite upbringing. her parents who had practically kept her bubblewrapped her whole life, did not mess around whenever she or kev got sick. they had strict rules that they stay in bed and get their rest and would make sure they were taking the right meds and staying hydrated and always kept the freezer stocked with plenty of popsicles and the fridge stocked with ginger ale. as much as patty hated being babied, she did enjoy the treatment when she was sick.

she doesn’t really expect simon to baby her the way her folks did but she does ask him to pick some things up for her from the drug store and is asking him to drape her with extra blankets. simon tries to tap into what he wishes his parents would’ve done for him when he felt like he was dying from fever and a stuffy nose. he does okay at best but he learns A Lot from the first time he gets sick around patty…

patty is used to seeing simon look like shit coming off of benders and late nights but the first time simon catches a stomach virus and can’t even leave the floor of the bathroom in their apartment, she goes into high gear. she’s buying out aisles at the drug store, going to the deli her parents used to take her to as a kid and buying the best chicken soup ever made. she doesn’t even have to ask him what he needs it’s like she already knows and simon wants to cry about it.

EM my angel!! I am grabbing ur hand and we are running away together BYE EVERYONE

strange passenger is basically me taking the skeleton of strange darling, changing out some key elements to make it more like the story I wanted it to be, and subbing in Randy and Benson as the Lady and the Demon. it's way more out of the box than I usually go for and it has been so so SO much fun to work on. this version of these characters have become like OCs to me and I just love them so bad.

crossovers are usually not my thing but it's been really fun to combine elements of both movies plus my own concepts. here's a lil snippet where I had a blast with the dialogue in particular.

3: A song that reminds you of summertime

Mango Love by Shawn Wasabi ft. SATICA

4: A song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget about

IDKW by Daisy the Great!! “Yesterday I lent you too many secrets, I hope you forget ’em” so true so real.

15: A song that is a cover by another artist

I can’t choose between Mood by Fluorescents (pop punk cover of a 2020 tiktok pop rap song) and the ska cover of stupid horse by Skatune Network and GET TUFF, so I’m putting them both here.

29: A song that you remember from your childhood

Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. Also Yeah! by Usher (ft. Lil Jon and Ludacris). Children need to memorize all the lyrics to songs about meth and sex and cheating before they understand what they mean. It’s enrichment for them.

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding

I have a playlist for this that I was gonna look at for reference and. Not sure what happened here but I think it’s a better answer than anything I could type out

LUCKY FOR YOU MOTHERFUCKER I HAVE PLAYLISTS FOR BOTH OF THEM

YES scene my daughter here it is. i will note this is my concept for scene but her music taste reflects her personality so it's not actually uh. classic scene lmao it's mostly hyperpop stuff, very internet-core?

also in my "mymusic but it has a jukebox musical ep" concept scene's song is "if you can't hang" by sleeping w sirens as a like, scene reminiscing about her relationship w pookie monologue?

also also i have a couple ship playlists w scene and i wanna say that "motion sickness" by phoebe bridgers and "that's what you get" by paramore are big scindie songs

the eddie one is very short bc i don't keep it super updated or anything and it's a tad ~messy~ but it exists the songs are super not curated i just tossed songs w ~vibes~ into a playlist and never cleaned it up that was like. years ago.

in my shark puppy cover album concept eddie's song was "happy little pill" by troye sivan and him and richie dueted "american idiot" by green day so there you go
