Like we all love to talk about the mortifying ordeal of being known what about the horrifying ordeal of knowing yourself? When you come around and corner and you are suddenly confronted by the consequences of what you would and will and are doing in the name of your goals.

Thinking about how she doesn't ask Simon his name. Maybe she doesn't have the right to. Not at this point. But she offers her name. Because what else can she do.

Thinking about "Let's get this done Simon."

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

If we go with the theory that the Red-Eyed God mutates people into a physical manifestation of their "over-generalized" core values with the addition of blood traits, we can figure out how to reverse-engineer the creation of blood monsters in writing.

I mean, the God broke Simon down into some very basic traits. I can turn this into a formula:

[Blood] + [Circumstantial Physical Trait] + [Motive] = Monster

Simon's would be: [Blood] + [Tree Seed] + [Death] = The Bleeding Maple / Fleshy Blood Tree

The Eel's would be: [Blood] + [Multiple Individuals] + [Hunger] = Hivemind Predator

So, if *I* were to look at myself from the perspective of a pinhole (like the God does), what would I find? I'm doing my own psyche eval for you guys as an example on how to make a character in the ocean.

[Blood] + [Ehlers Danlos Syndrome] + [Obsession/Passion] = Flexible, holds on tightly to things... "jellyfish" with lots of hands?

Yeah! That's my blood monster! It would wrap itself around the submersible and not let go until the pilot suffocates to death, unless someone was able to literally cut them off of it. Oof.

The brain worm of "aperture" continues to burrow in my brain.
