Eridian scientists proceed to stuff Grace's face with meburgers until Rocky stops screaming
GRACEROCKYADRIAN!!!
My chest hurt really bad earlier and I lowkey thought it was small heart attack but I THINK I’m good

parallels between Rocky and Grace and the fox and little prince............
Ryland Grace has got to have one of the funniest scientific careers of all time:
Research
Dissertation (piss off your entire field)
Teach middle-schoolers
Be the first person to be in contact with alien life (non-sentient)
Have your dissertation (also what killed your career) be proven wrong
Kill and also breed alien life
Become expert in said life
Become first person to be in contact with alien life (sentient)
Successfully communicate and solve the universe’s biggest problem with sentient alien life
Live the rest of life on alien planet as the savior of the universe
its on Erid, long after Grace and Rocky figure out how to hug and snuggle. Eridians dont really do full hugs like humans because then you can hear everyone's internal organs that close so its a little weird, maybe tapping/hand holding is the usual affection. Everyone assumes the constant cuddling is purely for Grace's human needs benefit, and while Grace obviously does love and need the touch, Rocky being driven to space madness and having every form of ptsd means he is equal if not more in need of constant full body hugs because he likes feeling how alive Grace is.
So random Eridian scientists are talking to Grace and are like, absolutely no disrespect intended, but very interesting Rocky overcame the cultural weirdness and sensory disgust of "hugs" and does them despite no benefit to himself because he cares for your needs! Its sweet!
Grace: actually Rocky freaks out if he cant press himself against my lungs and heart through the thinnest xenonite possible until he can hear every muscle cell in my body moving at least once a day.
Scientist: ok cool so hes kind of a total pervert then okay
i still cant draw grace consistently i mean hello rocktiz nation
suddenly thinking about the courtroom scene, of Stratt being accused of pirating literally everything, and Grace later having everything in the various computers aboard his ship that he gave a copy to Rocky without issue, and the beetles having such a massive memory capacity and...
Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.
Just.... she pirated everything, and put it all on the Hail Mary.
the obligatory trolley problem post
Wishing everyone a very Happy Earth Day with Stratt, who always put Earth first! 🌏🌱
Guess who finished the Project Hail Mary book and rewatched the movie?
some thoughts and ideas on mobility aids (and stuff) for grace :-)
auditory torture chamber
Do you ever think about how canonically there was a camera rolling in the cockpit during the entire Taumoeba Fishing scene, and the footage might've made it onto the Beatles. The people on Earth might've seen it, seen how close it was. "The sky is just slightly on fire." The alarms starting to blare. Rocky screaming in horror as Grace almost dies retrieving the collector. The moment the fuel starts migrating. Grace losing consciousness. Rocky risking everything just to save him. I am going to SCREAM can you imagine watching that and it being real???? Watching with baited breath, knowing it was all okay in the end but not knowing yet how scary it was for them, how dangerous, how it even happened. How much it hurt. I'm gonna be sick.
favorite trope is rocky not realizing graces glasses like. Actually do something
