Image Description: Art of Simon the Harrowed, wounded and bleeding in the chest and hunched over, walking, a tear running down from where his face bandages cover his eyes, holding his sword in one hand and smearing blood across a grand scene with his other. The scene is like the page of a manuscript, detailing the history of the Healing Church: An amygdala curls in an S as the initials to a couple rows of staff, lyrics calligraphied underneath singing of the holy blood, with eyes curling amongst leaves in the marginalia and frames; underneath, arches carved with runes overshadow scenes of the night sky on either side of a clock with eyes in its mechanisms, and below the architecture rises Laurence carrying the holy blood in its chalice for the citizens of Yharnam. Near the sides and bottom are exalted Maria and Ludwig, and a frightened beast scurrying away and low. Simon's blood streaks in a sanguine trail across it all. End ID.

"The first thing he does in the game is be depressed in a well for like 3 years. The second thing he does in the game is get his arm cut off. He walks around and looks at people with autistic eyes and when people ask him his name he goes "..........." He's so great. He goes to save his lord and says "don't worry...this will only take a moment." all cool and then immediately eats shit and dies 70 times"
"he's the best boi of fromsoft, he was raised to become a killing machine and he is but he also is soooo gentle, sad and cute, i mean he's ready to sacrifice himself for not only kuro but also divine child that man is ready to be the loving father he never had he also is so sweet to strangers like people usually portray him as rough because he doesnt speak much but honestly he's a sweetheart, he is concerned by isshin and sculptor's health, he gets worried when he sees kotaro or o'rin crying, he always offers help to emma and always thanks her for help, he comforts anayama in the end of his quest... they always say "dont make that face" to him in sad/hurt situations. and all this while being the most dangerous man in the earth, he does kill most of ashina himself he does he also kill his own father he does twice but he had reason for it and he was hot doing so with his sad mysteroud look with that face i'd love to kiss and smash and being a short king that fits perfectly into my arms i jusr love him so much"
Doodles from a Bloodborne modern AU but everyone’s job is boring as shit.
(Following a conversation with @cephalololopod and @galaxirin in which I shared an anecdote about riding the tube in London and having the conductor sass people over the loudspeaker in Simon’s actual honest to god voice).
So, Simon the train conductor (on the Victoria line specifically).
Laurence and Micolash work for Willem’s multinational that sells unregulated machine parts they don’t even manufacture themselves. Laurence is an HR Manager and has never green lit a single employee’s raise because 1) he’s still petty as hell in this AU and 2) Micolash in Finance keeps cutting his budget. The only department where Micolash doesn’t slash the budget is R&D.
Gehrman runs a landscaping business called Flora - but he only mows lawns. No flowers or anything else. Just grass. His lawnmower’s name is The Doll and he talks to it in a hushed voice. He smokes like a chimney.
Maria is a traffic controller but does illegal shit on the side for extra cash and is entirely unbothered by it. Lately she’s been fixing Little League games. She takes bets from the insufferable suburban parents who are Gehrman’s landscaping clients.
