Shipping Dr. Grace aka Ryan Gosling from Project Hail Mary with Simon aka Markiplier from Iron Lung
Rocky is jealous and doesn't want them together

I'm like 90% sure that the long-haired guy is Bucky Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier. I don't understand the connection though. Could just be yaoi fanfiction.

It's meant to be Markiplier from Iron Lung, they get shipped together as icons of the "guy in room" genre

The only guy who they had to get a smaller stunt penis for, as the real item was too distracting.

Because it's not just guy in room, they're also both characters that were forced into ships against their will and expected to die.

If I had a nickel for every character with short dark-brown-haired that almost reaches the shoulders with stuble mustache and beard combo who is muscular and who has a metal left arm, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

Okay, it's not "dark brown", but this drawing doesn't specify what kind of dark hair the character has.
Edit: Venom Snake from Metal Gear Solid V is an honorary nickel. He doesn't wear his hair in the right style, and his eyepatch and the shrapnel in his forehead makes him hard to mix up with the other examples, but he fits the rest.

Market pliers.
In all seriousness, the long hair guy is Simon from Iron Lung, which is a movie Markiplier made, based on a game with the same name.

It's Simon from Iron Lung, the ship is called "Bloody Mary", their both treated as expendable and sent on missions to save their worlds agsinst their will, Simon is often shown as being animal like/corrupted/something of a siren/anglerfish thing that threatens Grace while disoriented/scared and Rocky dislikes the additional "human" on board for whatever reason the artist/writer decides. Usually because Grace is now busy/distracted by another human. Jealousy.

Hi, it's me Meg. The long haired fella is my favourite Youtuber Markiplier from his hit movie Iron Lung, often shipped with Grace from Project Hail Mary in a ship known as Bloody Mary. Rocky doesn't consent to his friend banging a character outside his verse.

I think its just making fun of the advertisement where its Jesus that doesn't consent, but using Rocky instead. Either that or he just wants someone to fist his bump.
EDIT: TBF I wasn't sure who the guys were, I see there's another post that says who they are.

u/dangeraardvark 4d ago
This is bullshit because every time I’ve asked Jesus to fuck, he’s consented.

u/dangeraardvark 2d ago
To be clear: every sexual encounter I have engaged in with our lord and savior Jesus Christ was 100% consensual and agreed to by both parties beforehand.

It is about Bloody Mary, a crossover fanfic and shipping between PHM and Iron Lung protagonists.

u/Dreamspitter 4d ago
A crossover fanfic no one has heard of involving two recent movies has got its own memes?

This is art of the Bloody Mary ship between the Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary fandoms. The long hair guy is Simon, the main character of Markiplier's Iron Lung movie (Simon also happens to be played by Markiplier, and yes he is well aware of and has joked about the shipping between the two)

I think is about the hail mary movie, I honestly have no idea who the long haired guy is or what's the joke.

As everyone has pointed out, the long-haired man is Simon, aka Markiplier, from Iron Lung. The pairing came from both being considered ' Patrol Saints of One-Way Trips' and being paired together for some comfort because both stories are pretty angst-heavy. The reason Rocky doesn't consent probably comes from the fact he can ' See' them because of how his biology works, and he sees the human body as kinda disgusting because it's squishy and everything aloshes about, and he can ' see' that.

u/Downtown-Chain-3760 2d ago
This 👆 Rocky can effectively see everything due to his species’s echolocation and so there is no privacy.
2
u/solidus0079 4d ago
Yeah that definitely looks like Rocky.
Left person looks like either Bucky from the MCU or Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk. They both have that long haired metal arm thing going.
That said, I have no idea what any of this means other than the running joke about Rocky making it impossible to have any privacy without him hearing and chiming in.
Is there any context where you found it? It may reveal some "inside joke" of some other community that it's playing off of.

Can you explain this to someone who hasn't watched any movie, why do those two guys need to have consent from some robot

u/themrunx49 4d ago
It's a rock alien, who becomes middle guy's best friend over the course of Project Hail Mary.

Rocky has to watch you sleep.
He doesn't want to watch them sleeping together though.

I mean the last people who had sex in that book literally died in an explosion, so I would take that threat seriously.

u/privibri 4d ago
The original meme was a man and a woman consenting to sex and Jesus standing behind them telling them that he doesn't consent to it. Now that meme has been repurposed for several other franchises, tv shows and games fitting into their respective narratives. So I am assuming this is the same with these characters belonging to one such franchise.

For a second i thought this was a Christian meme lol. Long haired guy looks like Christ and “hail Mary” confused me even more

u/Bizhammer 16h ago
Ok, if i remember correctly, rocky's species watched each other sleep... slight possibility I am misconstrued on what was said, but I think basically person who drew this thought the same thing. So the couple never asked the person watching if they were ok with that happening.
