Really dumb thing but I had to draw it :p

From Twitter:

do y'all remember in iron lung when simon escaped the blood ocean and took a nice shower on the hail mary and ate a warm meal and cuddled up in grace's quilt. cause that was my favorite part

Not that I don't like touch starved Grace yearning for connection, I'm just basing this on when Rocky first came onto the Hail Mary. Like imagine Simon just following him around, not wanting to be alone now that he's around another person who's kind to him again (after being in prison for however long and, you know, being sent to die in a blood ocean) and meanwhile Grace is like hey, I'm glad you're not panicking anymore but can you let me work please. Just has to deal with the same shit all over again after Rocky's entrance but this time it's weird in a new and original way because this guy is human.

Also idk maybe Simon not just being around him but being kind of touchy as well, like using touch as a way to remind himself that this is actually real and Grace doesn't mind necessarily but after being isolated for so long (and not being super social even when he was around other humans) with the only other person around being unable to physically touch him it would probably be a lot.

inspired by this post!!!!

audhd simon yes!!!!!

potentially because mark himself has adhd, simon feels very adhd-coded to me. skimming the instruction manual, having a violent outburst due to overstimulation (hull breach), negative emotions ramping up very quickly, the hyperfocus lock-in on making the map, poor planning (chugging the water), etc.

i can actually see adhd being a sort of boon for him in his role as the butcher — he has so much energy to use, and he can be enraged very quickly and easily. obviously he'd be unmedicated and most likely undiagnosed because of the lack of resources on eden (who knows if anyone with a psych degree even survived the rapture, let alone on his specific station?)

i definitely see autism in him too, which i think is probably less intentional than the adhd coding (though mark could definitely be autistic too lol). i think he'd be quite high-masking; he'd learn early on that he needs to Not act certain ways or he'll be punished and ostracized. he still does show symptoms though — stimming + comfort object (his knife holster), strong sense of justice, shows empathy for inanimate objects (he hits the console and then pats it), sensory sensitivity (overlaps with adhd, the hull breach scene).

New merch drop in my store!

Chat I feel like I am interrupting something

Rocky: “This is complex???”

Grace: “Well, wait—“
