Part 15

Making (very slow) progress in communication!!
(Taking a break from the comic to work on fic, but I'll still catch y'all up with tumblr)

I think it's some form of writing. You're meant to put a finger in the loop, then press on the lump at the top to make this goopy stuff come out. It's kind of like a pen. Vaguely. It takes more pressure than it looks. The goop stays kind of runny for a while, and can be shaped more with this pointy tool. Still not sure what they want me to do with th- Huh? That... could look like a moon map? ...But there aren't that many moons around. Maybe it just covers a massive area, or it's condensed. Those look like orbits.... So, two small moons orbiting a bigger moon? That COULD happen, but... More likely, this is a station harvesting the big moon with some kind of alien technology, and that's what the line means. Or, the big thing is the station, harvesting smaller moons or asteroids? ...Or this is just how they write in general.

Part 14

Haha Tumblr stole all of my attention... Oops... Also hi new people :)

#bloodsong #simonxadrian #simononerid
It has been sitting there for a while. It hasn't asked for anything. It hasn't "said" anything at all. But it clearly wants me to join it. ... Alright, Blue. Show me.

A quick look on some of the things Simon has obtained, and how he's put them to use in his biodome.

Sorry about my shitty writing. Maybe I'll add it all in a comment or edit it in eventually. If you want to see it written out in text rn, you'll have to visit tumblr

As a treat to Bluesky for delaying the other part, I'll let you see this one early.

This one I have typed out entirely in the alt text, so knock yourself out.

#bloodsong #simonxadrian #simononerid part 13.5

Simon name: Green / Screamer / Half ENGINEER •Teacher who came out of retirement to aid in the warmth-taker crisis. Taught both Rocky and Adrian (at different times) •Belives themself should have been on the Blip-A, to spare the life of even a single Eridian with more life left to live. •Oldest on the team by far.

ADRIAN •Picked up engineeding and environmental/atmospheric studies to keep up with Rocky and help the Blip-A mission, and later to keep busy. •Good at almost everything they try. •Not passionate about much, especially not since Rocky departed. •The inaction all around them is driving them insane.

The Eridians don't know about anaesthetic, and they wouldn't have been able to synthesize it on such short timeframe regardless.

But hey, thanks to Adrian it won't have to come to that again, right?

Tw: a bit of blood

#bloodsong #simonxadrian #bloodymaryontherocks part 11
Simon thoughts in order: That blue one is here again. It wants me to choose something. Some of the things it brings are from the sub. Some are just alien. If I want to keep an item, I have to do what it wants. It's a trade. Most the time, it's blood or skin. I guess they need it for something. I don't mind these trades. They are better than the alternative.

Went back to add some info on this since a couple people were confused. That wasn't Rocky, he's still not on Erid.

Rather than something plush, I believe something solid, heavy, and textured would be more comforting for Adrian

#bloodsong #bloodymaryontherocks #simonxadrian #rockdrian part 9.5
Rocky Doll 1:1 Recreating someone's likeness is considered uncanny, rude, and moderately taboo. Adrian keeps it hidden and doesn't invite guests. They often sleep with it. It weighs the same as rocky

Some Simon thoughts.

Eridians don't know what the fuck he eats or how much he needs to eat. They also have no clue what losing weight means, because they don't have the concept of fat reserves.

#bloodsong #bloodymaryontherocks #simonxadrian part 10 (yay!)
It's been getting better, I think. They've been bothering me less. They just bring me food and leave. I think they're scared of me. ...That's for the best. The food still sucks, but now it feels less like I'm eating sand and rust. It's still too little. I'm losing weight. But I need to survive, and this is keeping me alive. Somehow. I can't tell if they want to use me ...or just torture me.

Hmmmmmmmm should I make a Tumblr to put the combat robotics au and the SimonxAdrian sketches???

Is it worth it?? I've never had a Tumblr that I actually used.

Actually gonna drop more sketches about my SimonxAdrian au!

Going to be using #bloodsong as the ship name & tag, and also #bloodymaryontherocks because that's endgame

I'll try to go kinda chronologically, so let's start with Simon's first few weeks as Erid's first human!

So like... I may have found the rarepair in the BloodyMary fandom I'm more into than the actual main ship. It was never fucking meant to last that I'm into the main ship.

Anyway, SimonxAdrian, someone on discord proposed BloodSong as the ship name and I'm running with it
