Some Ideas That Would Fit In A Redeemed Simon AU - Tumblr Posts
Tips for Redeemed! Simon Laurent AU writers
Before starting i just want to clarify this is only an opinion and you can think otherwise if you want anyway here we go!
I still think that a redeemed Simon from infinity train even tho he would be redeemed at some point in your AU he should not loose his character traits i mean he should be showing traces of inmature, logical, controlling, insecure, distrustful, frustrated, short tempered, straight forward, stubborn, (because of his own low emotional intelligence) fun loving and cute child like behavior at times (just let the negative traits show mildly as a remnant of his old self so he dosen´t turn back to villain or if your are going to use them like that make him struggle with that and turn back to rason) besides his hobbies with his novel and miniatures oh.. and also make him extremly edgy and grumpy… because he was a villain remember?… aaaand not a nice one either….
finally our boy would have a lot of emotional walls to keep pepole from getting close, because both he dosent want to get hurt and also because he belives he is unworthy of love (After all the damage he has done and understanding it and with that temper and emotions of his he would want to stay away from pepole.)

“Simon would’ve killed Hazel if Grace hadn’t lied to him!” lol no he wouldn’t have and the show literally tells us he wouldn’t
Things to consider
Simon “unable to change” Laurent
Simon might have taken the wrong choices but however lets not forget that Grace played a part on it even if it was unkowingly… if you want to create a reason why Simon is mad at Grace and create something from his perspective this is for you... and remember in this tragedy nobody is to blame.
Should Simon Have Friend-Dumped Grace?

Part 1 of 2: Series Abstract and “Strikes”
(Caveat: there’s a convincing case to be made they’re in a codependent abusive relationship, so treating this as a friendship gone bad may be the incorrect protocol or oversimplified. Still, for the sake of not re-writing the whole thing, it will be presented with the thesis they were originally close friends. Due to the difficulty of researching causes to friend-dump someone who isn’t toxic, some references come from toxic-friend protocol, so there would be some overlap.)
Abstract
The protagonists of Infinity Train’s third season, Grace Monroe and Simon Laurent, start off very close. However, as the season progresses, their friendship deteriorates, as clear through dialogue, but also facial expressions, body language, and vocal details. And yet, Simon chose to stay with her and obey her, if with increasing reluctance, and cared deeply about her (to him) inexplicable behavior changes. And it’s because he cared so much about Grace that he had to find out what was causing everything, leading to that shocking moment: “We….just won’t tell Simon, okay?” Later on, he shoves her off a train bridge to certain death, and briefly looks shocked and sad before he descends into maniacal laughter, and is then killed by a Ghom.
Perhaps if Simon had friend-dumped Grace earlier on, he could have avoided much of his turmoil.

(For the purpose of this article, “friend-dumping” will mean leaving Grace behind before The Origami Car and cutting her out of his life, whether by exiling her from The Apex or Simon leaving The Apex.)
So what happens next?
There are strong arguments for and against Simon friend-dumping Grace, which can be sorted into both moral and practical reasoning.
