i wanna hear about the simon aroace beam pls

(Tumblr is apparently trying to silence me because this is the second time I'm writing out this answer. Anyway.)

I already made a post about my aroace Simon headcanons several years ago, but I'm more than happy to talk about it again. (Also I'm not sure if you specifically ever beat SOMA, so you're probably unfamiliar with some of the points I made in the aforementioned post. I'll do my best to explain.)

(Continued under the cut)

Simon is an interesting character because he's an everyman. I often joke about how he's Just Some Guy who's having the worst day ever. He's had a pretty average life (aside from the recent loss of his friend and traumatic brain injury), and it doesn't come up often in the text of the game. He brings it up sometimes, but it isn't the focus of his dialogue. He was thrust from an unremarkable life in 2015 into Undersea Robot Hell and is forced to make some serious decisions about the fate of the human race, so he has other priorities.

His characterization as an everyman combined with the fact that we don't actually know a lot about his life before the events of SOMA make Simon a very easy character to project your own experiences onto. This makes him a good fit for a video game protagonist because it makes it easy for the player to relate to him. It also means that it's easy to fill in the blanks of his characterization with your own ideas. I've personally seen lots of different interpretations of his gender and sexuality; I've seen people headcanon him as straight, gay, bisexual, etc etc. His gender is also an entire can of worms; I've seen people make compelling arguments that he's a trans man, a trans woman, and even nonbinary and agender.

Anyway... this was all preface for my thesis that Simon is aroace. The easy explanation is that I, an aroace person, find it easy to project my own experiences on to him in a way that makes sense to me. I've talked to a few other aroace SOMA fans about this, and they've agreed. (This is what I mean by the aroace beam. I simply enjoy headcanoning characters I like as aroace, because I, too, am aroace. I'm hitting them with my beam attack. Metaphorically. I've now rendered the joke unfunny by explaining it.)

(Side note- there's a running joke in the SOMA server I run that many SOMA fans are asexual. There certainly are a number of them in that specific server, however this also might be confirmation bias, because I haven't done a fandom-wide survey or anything like that. It also might be because I promote the server heavily on my blog, and as an openly aroace person, I probably have a statistically significant amount of aspec followers who are then compelled to join the server I help run. More research is required, I guess.)

The longer explanation for this headcanon is that, within the text of the game, Simon doesnt' appear to be very concerned with sex or romance.

In the dream sequence at the beginning of the game, Simon tells Ashley he wants to tell her something, and she responds with "please don't make this weird". A lot of people tend to interpret this as Simon working up the courage to tell Ashley he has a crush on her. The scene ends abruptly before this can be confirmed. However, there are a few unused voice lines in the game files that extend the scene a bit. Simon was originally supposed to say "I'm sorry" to Ashley before the dream ended. This implies that he wanted to apologize to her for involving her in the car accident that ended her life, not confess a crush.

There is another dream sequence later in the game, the context being that Simon is under the influence of the WAU and is being shown an idealized version of his life. He sees Ashley, alive and standing in his apartment, where she declares that the two of them are in love. Simon seems confused about this and wakes up shortly after.

I will admit that this scene implies he has romantic feelings for her. However, in the post I made a few years ago, I talked about how a common experience for a lot of aroace people is not being able to distinguish between different types of attraction and how this can lead to aces convincing themselves that they have a crush on someone when what they really desire is a platonic relationship:

I think what sells it the most for me is that, during the dream sequence with Ashley, when Ashley tells him that they’re a couple, he sounds confused. You could interpret this as general confusion (he doesn’t know how Ashley is suddenly alive again or why they’re suddenly in a relationship), but I like to think that he’s conflicted about his feelings for her. He knows he wants to be close to her, but he’s not sure if being a romantic couple is exactly what he wants. If the dream sequence is supposed to be an idealized scenario, then why is he conflicted about the thing he supposedly wants?

Simon strikes me as the type of guy who isn’t super informed about LGBT stuff. He probably knows a little bit about general LGBT stuff, but maybe hasn’t learned about asexuality, or he doubts that it could apply to him. He might think that, because he wants to be close with Ashley, that the next logical step would be a romantic relationship, even if his feelings are actually just platonic. (I know from personal experience growing up asexual that I would sometimes invent crushes on people, when in reality my feelings were just platonic and I actually just wanted to be their friend. From what I’ve heard, this is a common experience for a lot of aro and ace people from before they learned about asexuality/aromanticism.)

I recognize that this interpretation might be bending canon a bit. Occam's razor would imply that he simply has a romantic crush on Ashley, but that's no fun.

SOMA is a game that is, overall, pretty uninterested in exploring romantic or sexual relationships. It also features two main characters of different genders (Simon and Catherine) who develop a strong platonic relationship over the course of the game. I, personally, find it a breath of fresh air, especially when a lot of science fiction and cyberpunk stories have a heavy emphasis on sex. (I'm definitely not bitter about all the weird sexism present in cyberpunk novels like Neuromancer, for example...)

I suppose it makes sense, then, that the game would have a sizeable amount of aroace fans. I personally think there is something inherently queer about the game- although not explicit in the text, transhumanist stories like SOMA can be read as metaphors for queer experiences. Questioning one's identity and humanity is something that a lot of LGBT people do on a regular basis, so it makes perfect sense that they would relate to a character from a game exploring those topics, albeit through a science fiction lens.

Anyway. Very, very long story short, I hit Simon with my aroace beam attack because I think it's fun. He means a lot to me and I like thinking about him.

(Don't get me started on what I think about his gender. He's got so much going on in that department and absolutely no time to come to terms with it all. That's a post for another day.)

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, I hope you enjoyed reading, etc etc. I'm going to go back to rotating Simon in my brain now.

Combat, I'm ready for combat I say I don't want that, but what if I do?

TIERA SKOVBYE? não! é apenas DIANA AURORA SUMMERS, ela é filha de APOLO do chalé SETE e tem 26 ANOS. a tv hefesto informa no guia de programação que ela está no NÍVEL III por estar no acampamento há TREZE ANOS, sabia? e se lá estiver certo, Di é bastante SIMPÁTICA mas também dizem que ela é TEIMOSA. mas você sabe como hefesto é, sempre inventando fake news pra atrair audiência.

BIOGRAFIA:

Diana nasceu em Harrisburg, Pensilvânia, filha de Ashley Summers, uma arqueira olímpica, e o deus Apolo.

Desde bem pequena, ela sempre acompanhou a mãe em seus treinos, competições e Olimpíadas das quais participava. Portanto, seu relacionamento com sua mãe sempre foi muito bom, afinal, Ashley era tudo o que ela tinha, e por mais que tivesse curiosidade em saber quem era seu pai, respeitava a decisão da mãe de só lhe contar sobre ele quando ela fosse mais velha e capaz de entender melhor as coisas. Enquanto isso, ela se contentava com a mãe lhe contanto histórias fantásticas sobre deuses e monstros. Com sua imaginação fértil, Diana sempre se imaginava como parte daquelas histórias como uma heroína, e se divertia muito aprendendo sobre um assunto tão fascinante.

Aos oito anos, sua mãe também passou a lhe ensinar tudo o que sabia sobre arco e flecha, e para Diana, foi amor à primeira vista. Uma coisa era ver sua mãe praticando com um arco para suas competições, outra, era tê-lo em suas mãos e assim que o pegou pela primeira vez, nunca mais o largou. Arquearia se tornou uma coisa muito importante para a jovem: além de ser algo que a ligava à mãe, também a acalmava e era a única coisa na qual ela conseguia se focar de verdade e gostava de fazer. Por muito tempo, ela achou que era a única coisa na qual ela fosse boa de verdade, porque na escola… bom, ela era um caso perdido.

Levou uma vida relativamente normal até os onze anos, quando as coisas estranhas que lhe aconteciam de vez em quando começaram a se intensificar. As histórias que tanto amava quando criança pareciam estar ganhando vida de verdade. Muitas vezes, ela jurava que podia ver coisas que as outras pessoas não podiam. E então, viram os monstros. E os ataques.

Nas primeiras duas vezes ela conseguiu escapar por pura sorte, mas no terceiro, quando ela tinha treze anos de idade, sobreviveu apenas porque estava com seu arco e conseguiu atrasar o monstro que lhe atacava com suas flechas, por tempo suficiente para um sátiro a salvar, e conseguir fugir em segurança. Foi depois desse incidente que ela finalmente soube de seu parentesco divino. Sua mãe lhe contou sobre Apolo e o acampamento meio-sangue, e lhe disse que lá ela ficaria segura. Por mais que Diana não quisesse se separar da mãe, concordou em seguir o sátiro que a salvara para pelo menos ver como era esse tal acampamento.

E assim que ela colocou os pés ali, soube que estava em casa. Foi reclamada como filha de Apolo quase que imediatamente, e não demorou muito para que ela se enturmasse com seus novos meio-irmãos. Diana também não perdeu tempo com seu treinamento assim que chegou. Podia ser uma péssima aluna para uma escola normal, mas aprendia rápido quando se tratava de qualquer coisa relacionada a ser uma semideusa.

Aos dezesseis anos, juntou-se às Caçadoras de Ártemis, o que por muito tempo a deixou extremamente animada e honrada. Ela amou a oportunidade de fazer parte do grupo e ainda por cima trabalhar ao lado de sua tia. Era a coisa que ela mais gostava de fazer. E foi assim por alguns anos, até que o desgaste da caçada lhe atingisse. Acabou deixando a caçada aos 24 anos, por uma soma de motivos, mas o mais importante, porque se apaixonou em uma de suas missões e percebeu que talvez não quisesse viver a vida inteira sem isso como antes pensava. Apesar de ter deixado as caçadoras com a permissão de Ártemis, sua saída não foi isenta de uma punição por parte da deusa. Diana notou logo na primeira noite que além de ter perdido a imortalidade, perdeu também a capacidade de usar seus podres durante o período da noite e, como sempre se apoiou muito neles, teve que reaprender a se virar com sua nova condição.

Por dois anos ela se virou praticamente sozinha. Lutou contra muitos monstros, ajudou muitos semideuses pelo caminho, até que recebeu a mensagem de Dioniso, e se viu de volta ao acampamento, um lugar do qual ela sentia muita falta.

HABILIDADE 

As habilidades que se destacam, além da aptidão para arco e flecha são sentidos aguçados e reflexos sobre-humanos

PERSONALIDADE:

Ainda em construção, mas a Diana é uma pessoa calma. Não é do tipo que procura problemas, apesar de que eles parecem lhe encontrar com facilidade. Ela tem um humor fácil, está quase sempre sorrindo e é muito cheia de energia. Tensa ser simpática e amigável com todo mundo igualmente, e essa sempre disposta a ajudar seus amigos.

Mas ela também tem um certo problema de arrogância. As vezes, ela tende achar que é melhor que os outros, especialmente quando o assunto é arco e flecha, o que pode fazer com que ela se torne um tanto quanto competitiva. Quando ela fica brava/irritada, pode se tornar um problema. E as vezes, ela tende a se colocar primeiro, especialmente quando está com pessoas que não conhece muito bem.

ARMA

Um arco laminado (bladed bow), ou seja, um arco longo com laminas, que pode ser usado tanto como arco, ou como duas espadas curtas ao se desconectar no meio. Foi um presente de seu pai, quando ela se juntou as Caçadoras de Ártemis. O visual é esse (tentei procurar um gif de como ele funciona mas não achei)

ATIVIDADES E ESPORTES:

Diana é co-líder da equipe vermelha de arco e flecha e também participa da esgrima, na equipe azul.

CURIOSIDADES

Seu nome é uma homenagem à irmã gêmea de seu pai, mas ela só foi descobrir isso pouco antes de chegar ao acampamento.

Os poderes mais voltados para a cura de seu pai a erraram completamente. Ela não consegue se curar mais rápido e é uma péssima curandeira. Ela sabe se virar quando é necessário, mas não chega aos pés de muitos de seus irmãos.

A mesma coisa acontece com seus dons artísticos. Ela ama musica, mas não tem o dom para ela. É uma péssima cantora e não sabe tocar nenhum instrumento... ainda. Ela está determinada a prender pelo menos o básico de violão. Quando tiver a paciência necessária pra aprender.

My ridiculous, unrealistic smash dream roster

This was a lot of fun!

Some specific thoughts under the cut:

I cut some of the more uninteresting duplicate characters, like Dr. Mario. He does play differently than regular Mario, but not enough that I think he warrants a spot on the roster.

I would love for more sonic characters, I think shadow minimum, preferably knuckles too, and in my wildest dreams tails is there also. Shadow in particular I think would be really fun, with floatier physics than sonic. Knuckles would also be a good fit for the game, I think his moveset would translate well and with his recent surge in popularity it would be perfect.

Paper Mario would be very distinct from regular Mario; he’s a character I’ve wanted on the roster for ages. His hammer would be used in combat, he could use a spring jump for up B, and his final smash could be the star spirits from the n64 game assisting him like they did in the final bowser fight.

I’m craving more Zelda rep, and I think Ghirahim is a great choice for a more original swordfighter. However, any of the sages from botw/totk would also be a blast. I think a Rito character would be the least interesting, but I would be fine with a Goron, a zora, or a Gerudo. Sidon and Urbosa are my favs, so I would give them preference.

As much as I don’t think we necessarily need another jrpg swordfighter, I love Chrono and he could replace a fire emblem character. He also can use light magic, which would help him stand out more. His final smash could be a triple tech, I feel delta force or delta storm makes the most sense, but would feel a bit bad only 2 of his companions get used. So maybe his regular tech Luminaire instead?

In addition to Alucard, while he wasn’t on this tiermaker, I would love for soma Cruz to be an option. He has a very versatile moveset in the sorrow games, so there’s a lot of flexibility with making his attacks. Both him and Alucard could turn into bats for recovery, perhaps?

There are many characters I don’t particularly care for if they make it in the game one way or another, such as doomguy, Rayman, waluigi, etc. but I think the push for them to be added from the fandom is great so I would include them just for them.

Cuphead + mugman purely because I want them animated like their games and it would be a very cool stylistic choice

Earthworm Jim is an absolute legend and I would do anything for him to be added. It would be hysterical.

Most of the assist trophies are characters I like, but don’t think they’d translate as well to fighters, like Spyro, crash, or Ashley, but still have cool powers that would make them fun to summon.

Dixie, Jeanne, and Pauline would be echo fighters. Would that mean Peach has 2 echo fighters? Sorry Daisy, you have to go then…

Dr. egg man would be such a fun story mode boss! I mean it! He was made for this!

vtm: wormwood ; clan bingos of povs

[link to blank bingos]

Monroe

Ashley

Hawthorne

Charlie

Jack

Lex

Masika (new!)

rest of the bingos and commentary under cut bc uh this got kinda long lmao

Monroe

ofc Monroe got a bingo. God Complex might be strong, but definitely Saviour Complex. Does wayy too much shit. Also, had a weird bit where he genuinely had quite a bit of respect for LaCroix as an enemy...before he was killed. Shame. Also, had a lot in common, as disgraced childer of unsuccessful military backgrounds.

Hard no’s: *claps hands*, Loyalty > Approval (Monroe not-so-secretly craves being admired), Owns a Crown (but he DOES own a sword...), Undisputed (uh yeh, very in dispute)

Ashley

b-b-bingo. Maybe a bonus bingo, since he does eat food in text sometimes, but I never gave their char sheets merits. 

Hard Yes: Red Lipstick (any colour, dark or sparkly preferred), Never Makes Art (comically useless at it), Siren, Narcissm, Would Sparkle, Anne Rice (literally Spike and Lestat)

Hard No: Humanity 8 (cackles in Humanity 4, which is him on an upswing), Rotten at the Core (...maybe, but he does have some redeeming factors)

Hawthorne

Unsurprised that she got no bingo, and was denied by Leather Jacket! ahh loser. Atypical Brujahs don’t get bingos. Urban Ventrue ghouls don’t make good Brujahs, who figured.

Hard No: Leather Jacket, Motorcycle, Good Music Ended in the 90s (um, actually the 80s, but she would listen to almost anything), Respects Smiling Jack, Brawl 5 (not anymore), Bros Before Sects/Obvious Anarch (fuck the Anarchs)

Charlie

Bingo, and not even a free-space one. Probably the hardest one to fill out, though. Charlie’s Cobweb radar is decent and she can sorta make sense of it sometimes or use it to harvest info, but never that useful.

Also, her Great Ideas are mostly unrelated to her Malkavianisms and mostly due to just being a wiseass and smart guy.

Hard Yes: Paranioa, PREMONITION, “Did anyone else hear that?”, Don’t “ugh, a Malkavian” me!

Secretly, she likes that Bedlam calls her a fish. She knows its true. She just grew legs one night and crawled out onto the shores, but she has a natural habitat somewhere that she can’t go back to. Not that anyone wants to hear stuff like that.

Jack

Jack’s earliest drafts were Brujah and that might still show a bit. He’s not as rough and tumble wilderness dude. More City Gangrel. He has the leather jacket and wants a motorcycle.

But he is a dirt boy animist and part-time rock sorcerer in love with his shapechanges, so maybe he’s Gangrel enough.

Hard No: No Driving License, Becketts (Jack never knew Beckett enough, but he would probably be put off by his obnoxious snide British-isms), Smells Funny (he bathes!), Survival 5

Hard Yes: DONT pet me (sore spot, as a Gangrel), Wants a House in the Woods (kinda has that...), Hell yeah NATURE

Lex

Ahhh, a better Brujah gets better shapes and multi-bingos AND doesn’t need the free-space. Such a Brujah. Very Brujah. Too poor for a new leather jacket and probably burned their old one 8yrs ago.

Hell No: Surprisingly High Humanity (middling, at best), Quotes Philosopher (you kidding me, they can barely quote themself), Motorcycle (lives in SOMA)

Hell Yes: Everything is Political (risks them friendships), Fuck off (just...everyone), Band T-shirt, Good Music Ended in the 90s, Starts Combat, Obvious Anarch (see above)

Masika

New POV. A very Tremerey Tremere, apparently. Very excite about her.

Hell Yes: Smartass (more of a deadpan), Getting Lost (new girl!), Secret Reads (probably, but more of a Discworld and Dark Tower girlie), Absolutely Terrified of Fireball (zero combat exp), SUSPICIOUS (fellow Tremere are always up to something, but not her!), Misses the Pyramid (Tremere loyalist)

Hell No: Oops, Forgot to Ward (never forgets, never oops), Secretly Wants a Gargoyle (a WARCRIME? a breaking of the sacred montmartre pact??? never!), Guilty of Most Things (has never done anything wrong in her entire life)

Thinking about the "It's green..." dialogue Ashley says in Simon's intro nightmare sequence and how Simon probably missed going through the light immediately after it turned green by only few seconds because he was distracted by the convo with Ashley, likely about to confess his feelings to her, and how a lot of his guilt probably stems from wondering how different things could have been if he'd made it through that intersection just a few seconds faster even tho it's absolutely not his fault the other driver ran through THEIR red light and T-boned them 🥲🥲🥲🥲

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #190

Did you enjoy high school? In some ways yes, in many others, no. There were days in high school where I wanted to be dead, like I was extremely depressed, but I also enjoyed having a social life. I miss old friends, I cherish times we laughed together and were just kids, but I would also never go back. I had good relationships with my teachers, too, so that helped.

What’s an unusual food combination you like? Waffles lightly slathered in peanut butter with normal syrup on top of that. It's fucking heavenly.

What’s the longest stretch of time you’ve spent completely alone? A few weeks, somewhere close to a month. This was when my mom went to New York while her mother was dying. I can't remember what it was, but it was a new YouTube hyperfixation that let me get through such a long period by myself; I tend to get lonely if I'm by myself for merely one full day, but I was totally fine during this period because I was into something.

Did your parents allow you to drink soda when you were a kid? By a certain age, but definitely not regularly.

Did you ever go through an emo or goth phase? Emo for sure, but I still consider myself a goth at... heart, lol, because I definitely don't have the money to dress like one, nor do I wear makeup. My heart's there though, haha.

How many times have you stayed at a hotel in the past year, and where? Not even once.

Do you take a walk every day? No.

Who was your favourite musical artist when you were 15? Do you still listen to them? Ozzy Osbourne, and yes, he's my favorite artist of all time.

When was the last time you ate at a food court and what did you get? Oh jeez, I have absolutely no idea.

How do you like your eggs cooked? Scrambled, especially with cheese.

What's your favourite place to go on vacation? I don't go on vacations enough for this.

Have you ever done your own compost? No.

Would you ever get a tattoo on your hand or foot? Yes; I already know I want some on my hands, and feet will probably happen eventually, at least little stuff. I've never really seen foot tattoos I like, but with how many I want one day, it'll likely happen.

Do you open your doors and windows on warm days? We tend to keep our back door out onto the porch open if it's nice out, because it's a meshed-in porch that Roman absolutely loves sitting out in. We'll open windows if there's a nice breeze and we're kinda hot.

Are the blinds/curtains in the room open or closed right now? I keep them open during the day because it helps my depression to feel less closed in.

Were you mean to anyone in high school? No, I minded my business and treated others how I wanted to be treated.

Have you ever accidentally started a fire? Not me specifically, but as a child, we once tried doing that over-the-stove popcorn and it set on fire; I remember Mom or Dad had to use the fire extinguisher.

What is the last note you edited in your phone's notes app? One where I have gift ideas for Girt.

Who is your favourite coworker? You can tell me about one from your past if you don't have one right now. I have so little job experience that I don't really have an answer.

Do you know anyone who's adopted a child? I have an old school friend who was adopted, but I don't know anyone who did adopting. Well, my sister's husband legally adopted her daughter from another relationship, but I don't think that's what you mean when talking about adoption.

What was the last video game or board game you purchased? I think the last game Mom was kind enough to buy me was SOMA.

"I mean, I haven’t told him every detail, but not because it’s a secret or anything, it’s just not relevant to our relationship." <<<< This, it'd be weird if I just dumped random details on him that had zero bearing on our relationship. I wouldn't keep anything secret though, I think couples should be very open about their sexual pasts for safety reasons.

Have you ever developed feelings for someone whose sexual orientation was incompatible with yours? HAHA YEAH, kinda. In middle school I think I mighta liked this guy William, who ended up being gay. I was never totally sure if I liked him more than a friend, though.

Have you ever come close to drowning? No, thank goodness.

What’s the cutest thing your S/O does, but denies it’s cute in any way? He's such a scaredy-cat with horror stuff and it's honestly adorable, brooding six-foot man can't get past the first Necromorph scene in Dead Space 'n' shit like that lmfao.

Have you ever changed in front of the last person you kissed? No, I'm too self-conscious.

"what happened?" "we fell in love" aka that one cutscene in SOMA but it's Jay and Jacob (except the latter isn't Real + it's actually like. some horror attempting to trap Jay in its .. dream? false reality? idk in SOMA its the WAUs louts eater machine sorta thingy)

'which horror is doing this' I don't know, I'm purposely avoiding reading lore but one of em could do this probably? idk

anyway I have. major brainrot I think 😔

if you'd like more context -- the scene I'm talking about is under the cut (spoilers for SOMA lol):

Ashley is the friend who died in the car crash that left the protag Simon with brain damage, which kicks off the events of the game -- Simon goes to get a brain scan, to help support his recovery. It's very much a thing he has a crush on Ashley, although I don't remember if that's explicitly said.

Anyway, this bit happens after one of the proxies, the monsters made by the WAU, catches Simon but doesn't kill.

[eskewcity]

the intro that frictional games put in soma making it seem like Simon wanted to tell Ashley he was in love with her when the cut version shows he just wanted to tell her he was sorry for the accident that got her killed

TO SAY IM SORRY

[soma-shitposts]

Simon: I feel like my brain’s on fire.

Jesse: oh my God

Simon: yeah, it really hurts -

Jesse: YOU HAVE A BRAIN?
