I see Aroace Ryland Grace a lot (which is awesome!), but I see many people fail to address the absolutely horrific implications of where Simon comes from. <- This link is a whole huge deep dive on that.

So, my humble offering to the Bloodymary fandom in terms of characterization knowledge: Simon would be more likely to be skittish about shit like that, and have a warped view on sex being dangerous/dirty due to the apocalypse scenario he came from.

That being said, it was also a good aspect ratio for... say... a YouTube video, so it fills the entire computer screen at home, instead of having black bars on it like widescreen would have.

The way ava was framed as she looked through the gaps of the leaking blood. BUT what's shown visible was her blind eye, like there is absolutely some symbolism of perceiving simon as just another eden convict and not as to who he truly is, AND also with the "this is bigger than us" ideology where within the decaying universe, the decision to send convicts to prevent risks of loosing more humans feels horrifyingly right, the line between the morality of such decision feels blinding

And then eva, observing behind the window blind with one eye covered from one of the bars, as if she had to ignore grace's perspective on not wanting to get on the ship and choose the greater good for all humanity, the deadline is getting closer and she had no other choice (esp with the quote "you are my solution") thus making the frame as if she too is in the position where morality of such decision also feels blinding

He’s so cute when he’s not losing his mind

Bloodymary but Grace and Rocky caught Simon's submarine by doing the "time go fishing" scene in the blood ocean
