would eridians even know about the maillard reaction

[astresol]

i just got so pissed off at andy weirs complete sidestepping of certain parts of eridian biology that ive developed entirely new opinions about grace and the absolute craziness of risking inducing memory loss on your SCIENCE OFFICER investigating ALIEN LIFE

Behind the scenes of PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)

[synthyk]

Steps bravely up to mic grace walking in on rocky dumping (chilled, from Rocky’s perspective) hydrochloric acid on himself for what is clearly horny reasons

absolutely delightful image. the idea of Grace walking in on Rocky writhing around and squealing about being digested is SO fucking funny.

However.

I raise you this: Hydrochloric acid and ammonia react when exposed to each other. They create bright white ammonium chloride gas.

SO:

Grace is sleeping. Rocky listens to his nasty stomach sounds with voyeuristic glee. He pours his synthesized acid it on himself, shivering and clicking and listening. imagining. Pretending that Grace is eating him. letting the liquid drop onto his carapace like Grace's stomach is secreting it onto him. Wallowing in it. Acting out an entire fantasy, feeling the cold cold cold acid that Grace's stomach produces sizzling of his strong carapace shell... will it dissolve? Will he become part of Grace? ohhhh rocky WISHES.

And then he lays an alarming amount of eggs about it, cleans up, and pretends he didn't just do that and finishes watching grace sleep. But Grace wakes up, rolls over, and immediately says:

"Hey Rocky. Why's your side full of smoke."

Smoke? His rock ass is metaphorically sweating. What is Grace talking about. What smoke. There's no smoke. Why would there be smoke question. Smoke like evidence of chemical reaction I was not aware of between acid and my atmosphere... oh fuuuck

"mmm Don't know what grace is talking about. delusion. hallucination."

And then he has to field ten thousand concerned questions from Grace about why his side looks like he's started a vape trick youtube channel. Absolute boner killer. He wishes he really was dead and digested becasue this is some fucking bullshittt

The worst types of cookbook:

The Ottolenghi - it is vital that you use 1g of this very expensive ingredient. It comes from a 500g bag with a one-week shelf life.

The time machine - 15-minute recipe! First, leave to marinate overnight...

The dishwasher - one-pot recipe! Now decant your ingredients and wipe out your pot. And again. And again. And again.

The optimist - cook the onions until caramelised (2 minutes).

The kindergarten teacher - get one nommable little tree of broccoli and bosh that into boiling water. Delish!

The brand names only - ingredients: Ritz crackers, Philadelphia cheese, Cool Whip, orange Jell-o...

The 1950s palate - use one (1) clove of garlic and a small pinch of chili flakes (omit if preferred).

The why bother with a cookbook - to make beans on toast, gently heat a tin of beans and put on top of freshly buttered toast.

been thinking a lot lately for no reason about gracerocky using the mary as their getaway spot. their lake house. when either of them need it, or when they miss their time alone together in the vacuum, they take a week, maybe two, go up to where she’s prepped & waiting in orbit. and mary is always up there, dancing around erid, ready when they need her. an eridian team keeps her in tip-top shape, creature comforts for both of her crewmates perpetually stocked, and they treat that ship with the reverence it deserves. and when the saviors of the stars radio up to that team that they’re coming, they may not be able understand it, but they’ll bust their craggy asses to make sure it’s ready because that’s the saviors’ business. and i imagine grace & rocky do this semi-often––one year maybe less, the next year maybe more...

they don’t go back to mary for the first 5 years grace is planetside on erid, too busy with reviving him & making him healthy & synthesizing him food & building him a dome, and that first year in the dome grace IS happy. he’s so happy…he is…it’s so much better than living in a sad little single-room med bay. it’s beautiful, it’s so lovingly, painstakingly crafted just for him, and there’s fog and breeze and rocks to skip and a miraculously soft bed and a weird but deeply appreciated coffee substitute, and rocky is there so often. he’s there more than he reasonably should be; he is pretty obviously neglecting his entire life outside of grace, and so grace has a really hard time with the fact that sometimes it’s STILL not enough. it makes him feel so…selfish. again. and he promised he was done with selfishness, so for awhile he doesn’t tell rocky. he can’t tell rocky. because how would he get the words out? how would he say “hey bud, so here’s the thing, i know by all rights i should never have a complaint again for the rest of my short & hard-won existence, because all of my needs and more are accounted for here to an unfathomable degree, but actually i really miss starving to death in that tin can with you, where it was just us, and nothing and no one else mattered or even existed. and sometimes i kind of wish we were still up there, because i guess i’m kind of the worst?” so he just doesn’t say it. for another year.

and then one night as he sits at his little kitchen table in his meticulously crafted eridian home, a night when rocky has had to be away from the dome for a full 48 earth hours to handle something only head-engineer savior rocky could handle, grace just fucking breaks. and when he next sees rocky it all comes spilling out of him and he’s so ashamed, he feels like the worst friend/family/partner/mate that’s ever existed, he begs rocky to forgive him, and rocky’s like. grace. i have had the mary kept immaculate in orbit all this time desperately hoping that you would ever want to return there with me. but i watched you wither away in those 3 rooms for months that felt like lifetimes and i assumed you never wanted to go back. which is why i never asked. so we’re going to get packed and leave for that ship right now and when we get there we’ll be having a good long talk about your complete lack of self-respect and total inability to acknowledge your own feelings and talk to your partner about them. but that can wait. get your stupid human skull bone cleaning device we’re going right now. and that’s the story of how they take their first mary staycation. the end

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

saw someone promote a book with a collage of out of context negative reviews recently, and i thought it'd be fun to do for some of the older lgbt sci-fi books i've read

[spaceguylewis]

would fuck severely if in extreme cases eridians made pearl like structures around debris and irritants caught in their digestive organs. would fuck even more severely if rocky’s 50+ years in space resulted in him having a couple pearls that grace finds while elbow deep in his ventral seam

“Do Dead Malls Go To Heaven?”

Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes 💖

[pkmndaisuki]

hi i drew fanart because the vibes were off the charts

baby photos

[cloudabserk]

somebody pointed out that from a photo alone it wouldn’t be super clear to rocky how different a baby human was. so now there’s a youtube interview for rocky to watch

[andthepeople]

rocky finding out about Rare leaking events because grace gets a nose bleed and then he's like i didn't know That was supposed to come out of There and grace says well it's not really Supposed to but sometimes it does. and rocky's like. where does it end. when does it ever stop. the fluids can just come out of anywhere???? any hole????? and grace explains well not any hole and also you can sort of tell how bad things are by the color sometimes??? which is horrifying because rocky can't SEE color. and then every time they're getting freaky with it and grace has an orgasm rocky has to stop and check the viscosity by vibrating it between his fingers and be like what color is it. be specific. is it red. is it green question. and grace is like. this is the worst pillow talk in the whole entire universe and i can actually say that as a qualified expert. and rocky says expert. be serious. two humans and one eridian does not make you an expert. so grace just has to be like. my semen is white.
