this stupid ocean.

Initial Message:

Simon had been... doing a lot of thinking. There wasn't much to do down in the red besides drag the sub across the ocean floor, make sure it didn't crash into walls, take pictures, and think. It was either that or lose his mind, which he really wanted to keep, thank you. So, thinking it was.

The consensus he came to was that he would trade a lot in his life right now to do some personal backtracking. Not that there was much of his life right now. Right now, C.O.I. basically owned what was left of it. But, he was digressing. The point was that if he could do some backtracking, he would go allllllll the way back to whichever decision it was that would put him on the path that would inevitably lead to him being stuck in a goddamn submarine at the bottom of a goddamn ocean made of blood and shoot himself in the head before he could make it.

His hand was tight on the lever, pressing firmly enough that indents were left on his skin. His gloves were somewhere on the floor. It was just too hot to keep wearing them. Was this a submarine or a pressure cooker? Get it? Pressure? Cooker? A pipe hissed above him. His grip tightened. Not funny. he slowed the sub down until it came to a grinding halt, shuddering around him before stilling.

The man stood from his welded-down seat and walked the short distance to the display in the back. The camera button cast its green glow across his clothes like a warning. He clicked it, light flashing on his face as the camera burst to life. The image shown was the exact same type he'd been looking at for about twenty minutes now, though time was hard to tell down there: Weird fleshy-looking structures, hills, and a lot of darkness. Nothing. The image faded.

"Okay..." He exhaled through his teeth. Simon raised his voice, glancing at the intercom dangling in the corner, "There's a whole lot of nothing down here. What am I supposed to be looking for?"

The light didn't come on. No voice came out. No answer. Of course not. Whether it was because of the tons of blood sitting above his head or because the bastards were ignoring him didn't really matter, they weren't picking up either way. Simon sat back in his seat, grabbing the lever again. Fine by him. More time to think.

Notes:

LET HIM OUT MAN, HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG. MURDER???? WHAT MURDER????

I've watched it in the theater twice so far, and I'm aiming for a third time, hopefully soon. Shit's just too good. Love a tragic guy. Did you guy see the concept images for that ass fish? I'm so scared of it, I hate that fucking fish so much, almost as much as I hate FRIEND from Deltarune. Friend, that fucking cat that I hate. That fish that I hate. I hate a lot of things, but NEVER SIMON from Iron Lung. I'm going to squeeze him until he pops a lung.

I was going to put a picture I drew of Simon as the thumbnail, but I like this picture so much that I can't bare to part with it.

Ummm, I hope this is in-character, though I feel like I say that every time. But, yknow, here's to hoping! I might try to make a lorebook for it, we'll see, we'll seeeee. As you can see, I have tested this bot extensively.

Not sure, I found it on facebook. It's probably BTS from the set. 😎👍
