A Nerd of many fandoms

It’s been so long since I got to see a thing and think: wow yeah this could only happen on tumblr. This is one such thing and I had to contribute. Let Simon have a weird fucked up religious sorta relationship with Grace! This man has issues!! He’s never been off a space station!! The Hail Mary is literally as close as he could imagine as heaven!!!!!!

No text under the cut

May I present the best apple:

and grace who is so alien, but reflects eridian mannerisms that they've never considered strange before but coming from a creature so soft and strange, it just doesn't feel right. grace who stomps his foot twice when he asks a question, and it rings out flat and dull instead of the strong, sharp sound of an eridian hand on the ground. grace whose voice is so alien, so one-note, so full of articulations that are sharp and round and everywhere in between, but who echoes the melodies of eridian poetry and music, sometimes on accident but sometimes perfectly in time with what rocky translates him as saying, and later, perfectly in time with his keyboard.

After sifting through hundreds of photos... I have realized that every time Simon takes a photo in the SM-13, he's pulling up a frame to a stop motion animation.

And it can be played back as video.

So, I took each black box photo and compiled them together. You can now watch Simon's entire journey from the SM-13's camera like found footage.

You can also gain access to Simon's amazing photography portfolio from my master reference project, as well as the video for yourself.

Please, have a watch. It's terrifying. I feel like a C.O.I. lab tech delving into something I really shouldn't, and it's a blast!

PLEASE BE PATIENT!!! This has taken me two nights already and I'm only like 8 minutes into this fucking film guys holy shit.

I would like to make the master reference a communal effort and communal resource. I'll be adding onto it as I go, but I think this would just be so much faster with multiple people on the job. TuT

I'm building a file structure (as you see pictured, with various containers for item photos). I need to fill those folders with images of said specific items. So, I'm sending you guys on a treasure hunt! If you know how to take high-res screencaps of Iron Lung, please consider contributing.

My unfinished work is now available as a Google Drive folder to be sifted through. Feel free to utilize what's already there. Also, if you need reference images of something that has not been added yet, ask me. I will go and get them for you, and then add them to the master.

I'm looking for the following, in general:

Facial expressions

Unique angles (for artists looking to make comics, those hyper-specific angles are to-die-for!)

Detailwork/material textures/visual identity mapping

Prop items (even as small as a marker or COI badge)

Environment images from unique angles

All black box photos (holy moly please help. Simon took SO MANY PICTURES.) <- Done!

Interesting things, like catching Mark looking at the camera LOL

Behind the scenes photos, concept art, anything related to production

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.
