You're all amazing @aiwraith - Tumblr Blog

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I really do appreciate that Grace uses basic diy shit to solve complex problems despite having fancy tech/expensive equipment at his disposal the majority of the time (sans computer and biology equipment).

Going to Home Depot and using basic hardware tools to experiment with the astrophage despite having an internationally funded research lab. Bungee cords to navigate through the Mary in 0 g. Duct taping the shit out of individual bulbs for a flashlight despite there most likely being a better technical solution. Putting tape on the clock for Rocky's echolocation instead of using any initial tech.

There's a lot that can be analyzed from this alone, but what I love the most is its depiction of science. You don't need the biggest resources or fancy locations to solve problems and make discoveries: just curiosity, determination, and a lot of fuckin duct tape

Yknow the lil fanfic trope where a character, usually non-human, purrs like a cat. In this case it would obviously be Rocky but what if it was Grace instead hear me out-

Grace goes swimming! Rocky is not thrilled.

Eridians cant "hold their breath" like humans do, their vents dont close completly so water can still get in, if they fall in water they drown and die. safe to say rocky is not a fan of when grace does it for fun xD

(i got the inspo for this from this fic: Enrichment by alatarmaia4, please check it out it is so funny)

Technically five hands and five legs at the same time, but Grace doesn't need to know that.

Sketchbook stuff! Every Rocky I draw looks like a completely different guy.

The Eridian science teams try soooo hard to be soooo normal about Grace. "He helped save our entire planet, we cant experiment on him!" "Hes a whole ass intelligent being, the biodome isnt like a zoo enclosure at all we swear." "Rocky might actually kill us if we try and add enrichment things to the biodome just to see what happens. It'll seem like an insult to Grace's intelligence."

Meanwhile Grace is just waiting in anticipation for someone to ask for a chunk of his hair or something. Hes lowkey curious as to what theyd find. Hes fine with being a creature to them its chill he gets it as a fellow intellectual and all around curious guy who insisted on watching Rocky eat.

rocky hunting grace while hes working like heh. going to pull big prank on grace. stupid human hearing so bad very bad and only 'see' with light-sense organ in one direction at a time. eridian best hunter on all erid, evolved best hunting veeeery quiet. scare grace a lot. very funny.

rocky is HORRIFIED mid stalk when grace suddenly stiffens and turns around to stare directly at him. HOW GRACE DO THAT HOW GRACE KNOW HOW GRACE KNOW

You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs

Realizing that cats like things that have textures they can sink their claws into makes it make sense why they’re stereotyped to be obsessed with balls of yarn. Thing that runs around when you hit it and your claws stick into real good? Awesome.

Anyways I am very glad that my cats have not so far discovered these properties of yarn balls.
