Also take this other hug that I drew after chapter 17 or something because I was craving comfort. We got there in the end, boys!

Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary and Simon from Iron Lung are standing and holding each other with their faces tucked into each other's shoulders. Simon's arm is wrapped around Grace's middle and holding him close while Grace's arms are wrapped around Simon's shoulders. Grace looks thin and Simon's missing arm has a tied off sleeve below it.

you can love me or hate me but don’t you dare say reject me or hold me, i'll fall apart either way read chapter 19 of aperture it's good #bloodymary #aperture #fanficfanart

Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary and Simon from Iron Lung are sitting on the ground gripping each other in a desperate hug. Their faces aren't showing. Simon is folded in half with his head in Grace's lap and remaining arm gripping Grace's hoodie. Grace has his arms wrapped around Simon's back, his fingers tense and gripping Simon's sweater, his head tucked behind his far shoulder.

Make sure the touch-starved spacemen argue and piss each other off a bunch before they like each other. It's enrichment! #bloodymary #sinkyourteethinau

A sketch of Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary and Simon from Iron Lung having a tense physical argument. Simon's right hand is twisted into Grace's shirt and he is leaning towards his face, saying "What kinda game are you playing, doc?" There are bandages covering the stump of his left arm. Grace looks angry and disbelieving, his near hand splayed out in surprise and his other hand gripping Simon's wrist.

Been meaning to do my own take on human Rocky and Adrian! Please pretend I used a reference for the scars and that they actually resemble Rocky's carapace engravings... They may change slightly as I draw them more, but overall pretty happy with them. :) #projecthailmary #humanrocky #humanadrian #phm

A full body image of two character designs labelled Rocky and Adrian, humanized versions of the Eridians from Project Hail Mary. Rocky is shorter with tan skin and a coif of black and gray curly hair, holding one hand up in greeting and dark eyes looking off to one side. Adrian is taller with long ombre turquoise locs. They are holding onto Rocky's shoulders with a folded white cane in the crook of an elbow, eyes pale and partially closed. Rocky is wearing brown cargo overalls, boots, fingerless gloves, and goggles around their neck. Adrian has and chunky necklace, and loose flowy clothing in a variety of aqua colors. Both have decorative scars on their arms and are wearing stone gauges in the other's primary color. There is a close up drawing of these gauges on the right side of the drawing and hand written notes scattered around them that say the following:

Genders = ???

Rocky:
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Wears goggles for focused work
No periferal vision
He/They
(Grace can only use He/Him or Rocky complains)
Wears wedding ring around neck

Adrian:
Totally blind, uses cane
Both have really good hearing.
They/Them to friends
not bothered by he/she

Content label worked great for the preview! Here's the image by itself with alt text. Labeled graphic due to the dead body and the visible gore. The person was killed using a projectile weapon. It is intentionally violent and disturbing. Please view responsibly.

Content warning is for gun violence and gore. A top-down view of two bodies laying on a white tiled floor. There is a shadow of two hands holding a gun in the top right, and a dramatic and violent splatter of red blood and pink brain matter painted across the clean white tiles, taking up almost a fourth of the image. Simon from Iron Lung is wearing an Air Force uniform and laying on his back, stunned and speechless with a blank expression on his face. He's lifting his right hand into the air and looks exhausted. A lifeless body that's implied to be a brother from Eden and a childhood friend from Simon's cult upbringing is slumped partially across Simon's body and has blood pooling around their head. There are some specks of blood on Simon's uniform and face, and the dead man's boot is resting on Simon's articulated prosthetic arm. A small capsule of astrophage is visible on the floor near their limp hand.

Collection of drawings labelled Simon "Mars" Butcher, Veteran Convict Drifter. Simon from Iron Lung leaning his arm on one knee wearing orange cargo pants, a harness around his amputated arm, and dogtags. He's otherwise shirtless and has significant scarring around his left shoulder, right wrist, and across his nose. Second drawing shows his torso from the back with the same harness but wearing a prosthetic arm with crisscrossing straps holding it on. Third drawing is a collared leather jacket with silver zippers, pockets, and buttons, and short nubby spikes sticking out of the shoulders. A collection of smaller drawings labelled "travels light" depict items Simon carries with him, including a wallet with a chain, a comb, small deodorant, pack of cigarettes, prescription medication bottle, and a cracked phone in a thick tough phone case.

Well apparently my team lost the hardest out of the three but I still had fun! Here's the last revenge I had time for in 2026. :3

A female-appearing original character with brown hair is jumping forward and wielding a bright scythe-like staff with a large spiky sun end glowing yellow in the foreground and a smaller dimmer moon end glowing blue in the background. The character is wearing punk-style clothes with a red plaid skirt and combat boots with black and silver accessories. The character has short brown hair and has shapeshifted some of her features, including strong furry red demon arms, furry red ears, red swirly markings on her shoulders and face, a forked tongue, and sharp canine teeth. The background is an unspecific swirly space design.

I believe in equal-opportunity suffering, so I will keep drawing Grace in various stages of experiencing the horrors. #sinkyourteethinau #bloodymary #twscopophobia #cwblood

Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is standing hunched forwards with his arms bent and red bruises visible on most of his joints. His general pose is reminiscent of a zombie. There is blood dripping from his mouth. His left arm is held higher behind him. The ammonia burn scars from the book are red and angry, actively dripping blood from his fingertips onto the floor. His expression is intense and scary, head tilted forward with overgrown hair flopping over his left eye. He does not look like himself, his right eye is staring directly at the viewer and his expression is intense and hungry like a predator about to attack. His eye seems to glow green in the dim lighting.

Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is wearing blue examination gloves. Simon from Iron Lung is waiting and studying Grace's face while his mouth is held open by the gloved hands. Grace looks very focused as he examine's Simon's mouth.

Steal his look: Simon "Mars" Butcher (modern AU: bad boy edition). He's couch-surfing, no ride, unemployed. Just a huge mooch. He was a pretty good pilot once... then got himself discharged and incarcerated. He won't say for what but he WILL play the veteran amputee card when he has to. #ironlung

Simon from Iron Lung is standing casually with a guarded expression and a large but subtle scar across his nose. He's leaning his shoulders and one foot against an invisible wall. He's smoking a cigarette, wearing a thick leather jacket with shoulder spikes, orange cargo pants, combat boots, fingerless gloves, and military dog tags. His right thumb is hooked in his pocket and his left arm is resting against his bent knee. The hand has a lighter skin tone and the fingers are a bit bigger than his other hand. Stock images are tiled like an aesthetic board: a silver oval dogtag, a close up of a leather jacket, a few cigarettes in an ashtray, and the waist of a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit with hands handcuffed behind their back. A smaller tile is tucked behind Simon's left arm showing an arm in a fingerless sleeve that goes above the elbow and are usually worn for compression therapy, but also hints at his prosthetic arm.

A cartoonish Ellie from Iron Lung is drawn with x eyes and bleeding from a stab wound with a red mouth. In red: An arrow pointed at the eel from the word "Asshol", then the word "Rota".

Concept art for #sinkyourteethinau. You've all seen the title, you must have some idea what the horrors will be, right? #cwscopophobia #cwblood

Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is sitting at a table shirtless, his burn scars are visible all across his left arm. The scars are bandaged in a couple of places like they're bleeding and he's got an unused IV line on his right wrist. He's staring glassy-eyed directly at the viewer, licking his lip with a small drip of blood coming out of his mouth, implying that he's either eaten something or his gums are bleeding. This is a crossover with Iron Lung and there is a canister of AT-5 blood in his right hand. He is hoarding a pile of sample bags of AT-5 flesh close to his chest with his left hand. There is a string of red light floating around his body and brightening behind his head to imply he's under the blood's influence. There are blocky word bubbles with music notes behind them, implying the speaker is Rocky using the translator. Rocky says "Grace is sick sick sick. Wet ship bad for Grace. Rocky Simon go fix now."

He's got that dog in him (abused shelter dog that doesn't want to come out of its kennel) #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary #tmfmtranslationgame

Panel one: Grace from Project Hail Mary is humming and reaching for something off screen, looking content and unbothered. In the background is an open door bathed in orange light, and Simon from Iron Lung is half hidden behind the door frame looking out at Grace with a flat grumpy expression. Words in a fictional pidgin language are laid over the scene like narration and appear to say "Ada da madman es as blod as he es mad... or he siken to trip me. Taja, afta his paraka ostaven, he jes... destaven dorm jor apear. Ai kan erst him tonen, goen obaut vhitno straf! As yra he kan trust me!" Second panel: Grace has a piece of xenonite in his hands that kind of looks like a tablet or laptop, and has perked up, paying attention to what's behind him. Simon is barely visible as he moves away from the door opening. The text appears to say "Dis preson es ver disparan ot... vher ai vas. Hovan dis avas privasol an asfotag es... noy to me. Nid to bit mar vhariska. Moji dis es a test. Vhatavo his del es, am staven set."

Simon from Iron Lung with a large scar on the left side of his face is focusing on half of a communication device, which he is holding and typing on with his right hand. The other half of the device is half taken apart on a table. Robbie, a fan-made original character, is carefully prodding the insides with a tool while holding the battery out of the way. Robbie is wearing green goggles with a light shining on the electronics and has bits of tech wrapped around his wrist and arm to show that he's probably a techie. The artist has given him dark curly hair pulled back in a ponytail. He says "Simon, dude, you're making it move." Simon replies "Sorry, almost done." Robbie starts to speak again but the text is cut off, "I swear, if I-"

Continuation of previous image, Robbie is ducking his head and jerking his hand towards his body, saying "OW- FUCK." A red spark between his hand and the table demonstrates that he was shocked or burned by the inside of the device he was messing with. Simon is jerking in surprise to look at Robbie, saying "Shit!"

Simon from Iron Lung is facing the viewer and appears to be bracing his hand on something and looking a bit sick. Behind him, Grace from Project Hail Mary is smiling sheepishly and is fiddling with a dry erase marker, looking a bit nervous. Next to him a dry erase board with pictures drawn explaining that the me-burgers are made from human flesh, so it can be assumed this is what Simon is uncomfortable about. There is text down the left side of the screen in a fictional pidgin language that appears to say "Otvisly, da madman vant me xiva fer som regos, so ai get obetta. Kanno pray say no~ He sersa da zapa es obvolla, near infino... (don plask me, ai versano). Ai sik to raxion erregos, but he vas alvo vhajen me... vudno ostav erdo ai etten.

In brackets an extra note says "Yra he es vertisano an ve do dranada dis xiob, ai vil dai afor ai ett das fuken 'burgers'..." with an arrow pointed at a capri-sun style packet of nutrient shake to indicate what 'dis xiob' is referring to.

There's a lot to unpack here, and it appears to be mostly clothes. #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary Help translate: www.tumblr.com/dotstronaut/...

Simon from Iron Lung is standing in a hospital gown looking concerned and looking down at a large pile of clothing that he's holding against his chest with one arm. There is a large chunk of text in a fictional pidgin language that appears to read "Ernsa, ai ernen mein garb! Da Madman ofer me som ot his vhen ai felt sturdy enokt to stand. Obvisly ai say no eit urst, but he yap an skryaben on da "vhitbord" erdo ai versa: He don nid dis garb, an da rag vud bit vashen erens ai vanten et..." and in a smaller note "Vas gud del, but afta maken, am les surpris... felt gud to werk vhit mein frand, erregos." There is a messy sketch made to look like dry erase markers of a stick figure that has too many clothes that don't fit. There is a sketch of Armando the robot from Project Hail Mary holding a piece of fabric in the background with a small caption that says "Mary-Robot help holten." There is also a teeny drawing of a bare butt showing from the gap in the back of a hospital gown with an arrow pointing at Simon's waist.

"Your idea is pen pals??? You want to give Simon pen pals?" #themaninmarsau #bloodymary

Grace from Project Hail Mary is wearing summer clothing and Eridian metal jewelry. He seems to be sitting on the ground, propping his head up with his hand and leaning one elbow on top of Rocky's flexible xenonite suit. The dialogue on the image has Rocky saying "Problem is Simon have no friend, yes?" to which Grace responds "That sounds mean but, basically, yeah. I mean, he has me, but he doesn't want to talk to me. And after everything that happened, I don't really blame him..." Rocky replies "... Rocky can fix. Off off off." Rocky is pushing Grace's chest gently with one hand.

And we're back! Time for a flashback of Grace getting completely squicked out. (He's dealt with skin stuff before, but eyes and bones? I know I'd be having a hard time.) #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary

Simon from Iron Lung is sitting on the floor with scars and bandages visible on all parts of his body. He's grabbing a bandage and peeling it off his face. Speech bubbles implied to be Grace from Project Hail Mary say "Wait, what are you... DON'T- ohhhhhh good golly, why would you DO that?" then it trails out of frame with "I need to go sit down for a second, cheese and RICE". There is text on the other side of the image in a fictional pidgin language that appears to say "Robot-Mary menden mein troma, but ai minen das bandaj. Da Madman vasno komfortal vhit det, but ai vas. Da skor vas yritaten."

Plus a lil glimpse of what Simon's life is like in his 'prison' on Erid. #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary #tmfmaskgame

A small laptop is open and glowing with multiple windows or messages showing on the screen. It sits on a thin metal platform bed with a dark thin mattress inset and protruding from hexagon in the wall. There are sticky notes in a few places and a small picture of mars taped to the headboard. The text onscreen is in a fictional pidgin language and appears to read "Sorry, am just... spaken to Mary es solva, regos da computel kanno pray kompensa.

Simon from Iron Lung is leaning on something and pointing a finger up as if to make a point. He is looking at the viewer as he speaks in a fictional language. It resembles english but the characters are odd and not all the words match up. The original writing appears to say "J'kay, listen. Ai tell da madman dis bitprost... am ot mars, vherno alt. Ai von ofer altamar vitken. Halt plasken." There is a tiny hand held up in a 'stop' gesture next to halt. There is a smaller Grace from Project Hail Mary in the corner wearing glasses and Eridian metal jewelry. He waving and smiling and looking very polite, with a little caption that says "madman in question".

A woman with dark wavy hair and a big white fur coat lounges in front of a large window with glowing magic swirling between her fingertips, which have nails like talons. She's smiling maliciously and her coat is riding up so you can see her long leather boots and lace leggings.

A bright green and yellow dog with a long face, curly tail, and pointy ears is picking up their legs with concern as a smaller black cat-like creature with a raven's beak and feathered dives underneath. The dog's whispy fur floats upwards and turns into dark smoke and bright sparkles. The cat bird is chasing the whispy hair at the tip of the dog's tail. They are in a dim grassy landscape with dark storm clouds overhead.

A confident cowgirl in a rusty orange outfit is sat astride a full western saddle on a small white horse with brown and black spots. She's holding the reins up and the horse has its head ducked and is leaning backwards, resisting the rider's control. The background is roughly painted to resemble a warm desert landscape.

Grace from Project Hail Mary gesticulates at the viewer with a blue-gloved hand holding a pipette like a cigarette. He has bags under his eyes, bruises on his right arm, and his left arm is wrapped in blood-stained bandages. The board behind him is full of notes, math notations, and papers related to Iron Lung and the blood ocean. He's grabbing a paper with SM-13 circled on it and various papers have red lines and circles on them. The whole image resembles the conspiracy theorist Pepe Silvia meme.

Who are you? Can you help me? #ironlung #simontheconvict (This art is under a content label because of canon-typical gore, blood, and body mutilation. I know that sounds normal for Iron Lung fan art but wanted to give fair warning.)

Simon from Iron Lung from the perspective of someone looking at him from slightly above while he lays on a flat solid surface in a pool of blood. Simon's body is almost entirely covered in blood and his expression is pinched with pain and looking at the viewer hopefully. There are boils and veins visible all over his body but especially on his face, where his left eye is barely visible under the overgrown skin and the left side of his face is gaping open. There are teeth on the outside edges of the wound, and his human teeth are visible behind them in the gaps between the torn skin and veins. His hair is soaked in red and blending in with the splatters of blood on the floor. His right hand is raised in the air with blood dripping from it and his chest harness is barely visible under the mess. His left arm is freshly torn off and the skin and muscles are bleeding into the existing puddle.

Been thinking about the circumstances that tend to cause Simon to act out, and what the perfect storm of circumstances would be to make him and Grace like each other as LITTLE as possible. :) At first. #bloodymary #sinkyourteethinau (but also works as a standalone comic)

A sequential comic without panels. Simon from Iron Lung is covered in scars and bandages and wearing a medical smock, standing unsteadily and gripping a ladder rung. Someone is surprised by his presence and greets him with "oh, uh, hello?" and Simon's expression is serious as he says "Dump the sub and everything in it." The response is a disbelieving "What?!" so Simon continues with "The blood is dangerous! Get rid of it!" The next drawing reveals the speaker to be Grace from Project Hail Mary, wearing goggles and gloves. Rocky the Eridian is behind a barrier in the background, singing with no translation available. Grace looks annoyed and not worried as he says "Uh, yeah, blood often is. That's what the P.P.E. is for. My name is Grace, by the way-" Simon interrupts with "I really don't give a fuck who you are." Grace says "I happen to be the guy that saved your life!" The final image is a close up of Simon's face looking disgusted as he says "Good for you. I'll grovel at your feet later."

Simon from Iron Lung with no obvious mutations other than the red iris on his left eye and a few scars. He looks scared and shocked and is covered in blood splatters from the neck down, and only the top half of him is visible behind a circular windowed hatch. The hatch and details around it belong to the exterior air lock of the Hail Mary spaceship from Project Hail Mary. He appears to have just closed the hatch with his right hand. There is a bloody handprint around the button on the outside of the ship and blood smears and streaks below that side of the door.

Full body drawing of a red merman with glittery scales, long spiky fins, extra teeth, and a clawed webbed hand, obviously designed to resemble Simon from Iron Lung. The merman is swimming in a tank with artificial lights glowing in the background. He has swirly brown markings on the human half and severe scars all over his body. The markings on his face give the impression of a beard and his long, dark hair is flowing behind his head. Simon is looking at and has his hand out as if to hold a smaller human in front of him designed to resemble Grace from Project Hail Mary. Grace is holding his breath, treading water, and holding one hand out as if to touch Simon's face. There are two glowing tendrils coming out from under Simon's hair that are almost touching Grace.

He does it all for you, Grace. I propose reusing the chest harness to hold a protective cover over Simon's shoulder, and Rocky proposes that Simon stop distracting Grace from the important repair job that is only accessible by squishy human body. #bloodymary

Simon from Iron Lung leans on a metal grate with the shoulder that's missing an arm and holds a steaming mug with a caffeine molecule printed on it in his right hand. He has a soft expression on his face and is looking at Grace from Project Hail Mary, who is laying on the metal grate with his head leaning back and a wrench in his hand like he was just working on something. He's pointing and looking at the mug and asking "Is that for me?" with a smiley face.

Puzzling it out. They're at the beginning stages of communication and Simon has been drawing them pictures in addition to working through the language barrier, but it's been hard. It doesn't help that Simon has obviously had some recent trauma. #bloodymary #themanfrommarsau

Grace from Project Hail Mary leans on a table covered in creepy drawings and other papers lit by the light of a laptop. Grace has his glasses in one hand and is scratching his hairline, asking "Where the heck did this guy come from?" He is addressing Rocky the Eridian, who is looking at the table from his clear xenonite ball, who sings "Grace definitely saw the scary wet metal ship" and Grace continues "... I mean before that."

Same convict, different prison, nothing ever really changes... #bloodymary #themanfrommarsau but also works out of context

Simon from Iron Lung with a bright red eye and angry scars on the left side of his face glares at someone off-screen. His wrist, missing arm, and one knee are bandaged and otherwise he is only wearing his harness and shorts. His hair looks a bit messy and his lip is split. There are geometric bronze panels between him and the viewer, as if he is imprisoned by clear xenonite from Project Hail Mary.

Have ya'll sEEN Mark's hair? Simon would feel like a different person after a mcfreakin shower. Mary, get this bloody, sweaty guy some shampoo and conditioner, STAT!!! #bloodymary

Simon from Iron Lung depicted on a pink background with sparkles and bubbles and a neutral expression. The focus of the image is his swoopy hair that looks freshly washed and brushed. He's wearing a black tanktop, is missing his left arm, and has spiky pink scars all over his body.

#bloodymary was a funny concept at first but then i remembered that they are exactly my type (first bloodymary fanart I posted, originally submitted to tumblr on May 30 2026)

Simon from Iron Lung with some neck scarring and windswept hair looking up at someone off-screen. He is implied to be sitting down or standing on a low surface, as most of the canvas is taken up by green and pink sky, which contains the text "it's hard to explain", implied to be Simon's thoughts about the person he's looking at.

Grace from Project Hail Mary wearing a jacket, glasses, and a metal Eridian necklace, taking up most of the canvas as if he's standing and looking down at someone offscreen with a big smile and slightly pinched eyebrows. The background is a green and pink sky with a bright source of light behind Grace's head. Text on the background says "he's like the sun", implied to be the thoughts of whoever Grace is looking at.

Been really enjoying the fox symbolism and I've seen a couple of lamb references... but I haven't seen any where the lamb survives. #bloodymary (originally posted on tumblr back at the start of June, I've seen lamb/fox references in a bunch of new art since then!)

Messy colored sketches of a fox and lamb being pinned down by human hands, with a red Petrova line over the open mouth of the fox and a splash of blood across the eye and neck of the lamb, in reference to Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung respectively. They are labeled "Fox on the Run" and "Lamb to the Slaughter".

Messy colored sketches of an adult fox and an adult ram with wide twisting horns and long, dark wool. They are facing the viewer with eyes glowing and there is a constellation of stars connecting them. Text around them says "We beat the odds but you still made the sacrifice".

mom's not home, quick, doodle #bloodymary saying lines from Xena: Warrior Princess!!

Grace from Project Hail Mary has an arm leaned on Rocky the Eridian's clear xenonite ball, who is barely in frame, and is looking at Simon from Iron Lung, asking "You can fly a ship, too?" Simon is holding a tablet and looking back at Grace to say "I have many skills." The quote is from Xena: Warrior Princess.

Grace is SO tricky to draw. I've done both stylized and realistic studies of this guy, and there are more in my files RIGHT NOW. #projecthailmary #phm #drrylandgrace #ryangosling

A series of stylized drawings depicting Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary with various expressions ranging between pleased, terrified, bashful, and distracted with a pencil in his mouth. There is a faint stick figure Rocky the Eridian in the background of the terrified sketch singing "weeee" as his ball tumbles.

A series of realistic sketches depicting Ryan Gosling playing Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary. There are tiny stars and Hail Mary ships in the empty spaces around the sketches.

Some secret third thing Grace Rocky in my crossover fic??? It's more likely than you think. Bonded pair, do not separate. (They are like a cheetah and a golden retriever to me except they are both the cheetah and the dog at different times.) #sinkyourteethinau but really #phm #projecthailmary

Grace from Project Hail Mary is on his knees and hugging Rocky the Eridian in the clear xenonite ball, looking happy and relieved. Grace says "I missed you" and Rocky sings "yes yes yes grace always say this". Grace replies "cause it's always true" and Rocky grumbles.

Grace from Project Hail Mary is on his knees and draped over Rocky the Eridian's clear xenonite ball, smushing his face into the top as he says "Rocky loves Grace, statement." Rocky bonks against the side closest to Grace and sings "Who told you that, Question?". Grace replies "You did, yesterday" and Rocky says "Was hungry and sleepy. Not in right mind" followed by a heart to show he's secretly pleased with the attention.

Read a fic that put Simon in the astronaut jumpsuit and it's my new favorite concept. #bloodymary

Grace from Project Hail Mary stands next to Simon from Iron Lung, who has his hand on Grace's shoulder and is missing his left arm. Grace is wearing Eridian metal jewelry on his neck, wrist, and waist. Simon is wearing an astronaut jumpsuit with Grace's name on it. Grace says "You sure you don't want me to drive?" and Simon responds "100% positive, you're a shit pilot, Ryland." Smaller text shows Grace replying "Yeah, and?" before Simon says "...and I'd prefer to keep my lunch in my stomach today."
