Rocky dumbing down his speech for Grace only reinforces the idea that Grace is a kid in the other Eridians eyes and multiple conversations are happening at once..

Eridian scientist: why did they send a baby to space?!

Rocky: Grace is not a baby. He’s a fully grown human and you all need to respect that-

At the same time another Eridian: the human is thirty!! Are you COMPLETELY sure he’s not a child? He’s barely coordinated!

Rocky: Grace is very sick!! Of course he’s not coordinated you fucking idiot-

ALSO at the same time: did you not think to teach him how to understand us properly?? Let alone communicate with us.

Rocky: he doesn’t have the vocal cords for most of our sounds!! And we were WORKING on him being able to understand proper speech but he’s delirious?! The fact he’s conscious is a miracle-

Grace who is visible stressed and half covering his ears but also trying to listen: what’s going on?? I can’t hear you guys it’s too loud- Rocky what’s going on?!

Rocky: apology apology other Eridians ask dumb dumb dumb questions, Rocky tell Grace later. Grace sleep now Rocky handle.

Grace just nods with bleary eyes and knocks out almost immediately, and the other Eridians are giving Rocky the equivalent of a raised eyebrow in unison.

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

[apollos-boyfriend]

same goes for being aromantic/asexual. every character WILL come out at least a little aspec

[apollos-boyfriend]

if you reblog this and purposefully remove the second addition i Will block you.

guys you gotta understand. eva and grace are like very emotionally attached and love each other very much and are attached at the hip to the point that its weirder that its 100% platonic. its not even friends with benefits, there's no romance, no sex, just two mentally unstable people tasked with saving the world

edit: this is a proud aroace stratt and grace propaganda post, this is about their emotionally codependent queer platonicness

[bucketsofgiggles]

you cannot convince me that, within 15 minutes of the press release from the Hail Mary Project that, while unfortunately a lab accident did kill the primary and back up science officers for the mission, Dr. Ryland Grace was kidnapped and drugged bravely volunteered to step into the role of science officer to ensure the project still met its launch date, the project's public-facing email address was not flooded with emails from Dr. Grace's former students. and more kept coming. some to accounts that should've been private. and then come messages from his former colleagues. and Stratt, ever pragmatic, prints out as many as the team can verify are legit, puts them in a box, and places that box within Grace's things. because while maybe she couldn't convince him that he was the right man for the role, the kids he tried to cite as being why he wasn't could.

but, due to the fog of the amnesia, then the urgency of the mission plus Rocky's appearance, Grace doesn't fully look through every box until they're on their way to Erid. and that's when Rocky wakes up from sleep to see Grace sobbing over a bunch of letters. students telling him how much they enjoyed his class, actually made learning fun and interesting. got them through tough days. made them feel seen and appreciated. quite a few cite his class as being the spark that got them interested in science as a career. and even those that didn't still consider him the best teacher they ever had. fellow teachers admiring his classroom management and lesson planning, and even so his kindness to every student who walked into his room.

one letter is from the principal. when Dr. Grace's involvement in the Hail Mary Project became public knowledge, there was a push from the community to rename the school after him. after discussions with the school board, there had been a secret agreement to do so, even had a new sign made. they were just waiting for him to be released from the project and return to San Fransisco to surprise him. but, with the recent news of his "noble sacrifice", they'd gone ahead and done it. attached the press release with a picture of the new sign, a bunch of his former students standing around it, beaming. a local artist has been commissioned to add a mural to the front entrance over the summer break. and a final note: "Do your work knowing that it will allow the Dr. Ryland Grace Middle School to continue to educate and inspire students for generations."

after he managed to stop leaking, Grace reads Rocky some of the letters. and its in that moment that Rocky swears that, should they find a way to keep Grace alive on Erid, he will teach there.

when they finally get the water temperature right i think grace doesn't even bother getting undressed to go swimming i think he runs right into the waves screaming and laughing like a little kid

[tea-and-violence]

heres the thing. in no universe whatsoever does ryland grace agree to go on the hail mary. and in no universe would stratt let him refuse. it is fundamental to both characters that grace goes to space; grace is not grace and stratt is not stratt if it doesn't happen.

[interplanetary-redacted]

I love how Grace was staring at Dubois and Shapiro and immediately leaves to talk to Stratt like "do you get the whole romance thing people have going on" and they have an indirect conversation implying that no she doesnt get it either but some people do and then they rejoin the party

[purplepenguintime]

THIS IS STRATT’S WORLD AND WE’RE ALL LIVING IN IT

[saturnzy]

Shout out to aplatonics, afamilials, aromantics, asexuals, and anyone else on the aspec! Yall are awesome and don’t deserve to be shit on just for existing and anyone who thinks otherwise can go straight into the trashcan

[its-timego]

Imagine the surreal insanity of being Irina Petrova and just hanging out having a hobby that you're very intense about and then you notice something weird and then all at once your name is one of the most uttered in history, by total accident. In the movie universe they describe her as a "radio telescope enthusiast" she does not even do this professionally. And suddenly everything is Petrova line, Petrova frequency, Petrova wavelength, Petrovascope, Petrova Task Force, Petrova problem. And you're like man. I have a day job.

How did Dean travel to the End verse and not think about the fact Castiel met and stuck with him in TWO different universes. You were fated to meet the same person in other universes dude, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE GET TO HAVE THAT?

[robertseanleonardthinker]

the puppetry in phm is just so fucking good dude. think abt how much improv there was. the dancing/mimicking scene when rocky and grace first met? that was improvised. that means that 5 people were so in sync with each other on this puppet that they were able to mimic ryan gosling in real time with no plan. bro. BRO. ouugghhhhh rocky puppeteers i love u

[searchingforserendipity25]

'ryland grace has no close human relationships on earth' do you know how hard it is to have a standing weekly date with a friend for YEARS. that's crazy. that's amazing. marissa and grace going out every thursday is what modern devotion is made of. marissa phm i am holding you in the palms of my hands.

[petrel-va-line]

You’ve heard of “you don’t even have a dog” and now for the Marissa fans out there might I suggest people saying to her post-launch:

“You weren’t even together.”

Marissa being legitimately heartbroken and everyone seeing her grieving and unless they happen to know both her and Ryland the FIRST thing they ask is almost always “Were the two of you an item?”

And when she says no then it becomes “did you want to be?” “did you see him as a brother instead?”

Marissa feeling hurt and frustrated because isn’t it enough that they were friends? Is twenty years of late night conversations, inside jokes, tears, laughter, Thursday dinners like clockwork—is that not enough to say she loved him, plain and simple? Is she not allowed to grieve this way, like a piece of her was torn out without anyone even telling her?

But star-crossed love isn’t for friends, they say. It just doesn’t make a good story.

[byulilmonster]

I love the friendship in Because This Is My First Life. They all have their busy life and issues, but they drop them all off to be present for each other. They make time out of their day to be there for their friends and it’s so real and raw. I love them.

[byulilmonster]

Because this is my first life is such a well written drama. It’s ridiculous but true to itself and just the right amount of funny and serious. Everything feels intentional and makes sense in the story's lore.

What a breath of fresh hair after whatever-were-the-newest-dramas I've watched recently!
