idk what to do so have a heart 💛

just realized how cringe my name sounds but it doesn't mean what you think it means! I just thought of mixing cinnamon rolls with boo because I like eating cinnamon rolls and I'm in the dp fandom :( anyways most of what I post/repost is dc Danny phantom and project hail Mary my favorite characters from those are nightwing Danny and clockwork and grace and rocky

I love how Grace insults the guy by saying he's a "staggering waste of carbon". Not oxygen. Oxygen has been done before, a waste of the air you breathe, oxygen is mean, yes, but carbon. Grace gets right down to what humans are made of when he insults people and I love that tbh

i cant be normal about anything i like ever . it has to consume me like evil mold

[sentennial]

grumpy angry stupid

more fem!grace because i love her, this time an exchange from chapter 25 (loosely)

and it’s not strictly relevant here but rocky is also she/her. afafc (assigned female at first contact)

if you notice that her whiteboard marker and glasses disappear in between panels no you don’t :)

This is gonna sound gross, but people who've never had long hair have no idea how hard it is to keep your hair out of food. Keeping my hair out of the way while making food is easy and I've never gotten my hair into food I'm making. Food I'm eating, however, is another beast entirely and I've lost count of how many times I've gotten food in or accidentally eaten my hair

hey hi this is a fantasy AU with Grace and Rocky

I didn't come up with the entire lore myself, but anyway...

here astrophages (let's imagine they go by a different name which I haven't come up with yet) are taking over various lands, devouring the surrounding magic and life. for a long time, humans were unaware of this scourge because they live in a kingdom quite isolated from the rest of the world, knowing little about other lands or creatures (which is why they know nothing about the eridians!). Grace is sent to combat the menace, because the astrophage's has bio-magical nature. It was on this journey that he met Rocky

did it for fun

I understand strattland as a romantic ship but like. Their tragedy is so much Worse as it stands in canon. Two people in impossibly high stakes latch onto each other in a way that's maybe friends but not quite. Grace needs a familiar face on the Vat and that's Stratt. Stratt needs - well from Grace's pov it's ambiguous. but I imagine it's a mixture of someone who treats her as a person (because he can't process her as a dictator) and someone who keeps her moral compass in check. Presumably they get on well enough to spend most of their time together, but they also keep each other at arm's distance.

There is a universe where they could have become true friends. It's also not a possible universe, even if Grace never ended up on the Hail Mary. This (metaphorical) universe is one where Stratt is not imprisoned, and Grace also does not face consequences for his not-quite role as second. Maybe then, away from responsibilities, they can grow close. But Stratt (not Grace) understands that this impossible, thus there remains a Distance between them.

They hover in this space for the whole story. Closer than anyone else but just a bit further than friends. So they care for each other but they never truly Understand each other.

The betrayal goes both ways. Stratt cannot understand why Grace can be so selfish after she destroyed herself to save the world. Grace cannot understand how Stratt can be so callous and cruel when he expresses his autonomy as a human. Neither is wrong and neither is right.

The last time they speak to each other, is the first time they come close to knowing each other fully. And in that moment they let each other down.

They never get closure in-person either. They can never look each other in the eyes and say "now, I understand you and I do not forgive you. But I understand. In a different life we were friends. In this life, we saved the world together at the cost of ourselves. It was worth it, but I will carry a you-shaped wound forever."

headcanon that Grace grades the other scientists work only if he’s focusing on something else or he’s tired.

Like. Imagine one of the scientists studying Astrophage gives Grace a paper detailing their recent findings and Grace being locked in on something else, he just looks up, skims the paper, then pulls out a red pen from somewhere and marks it, “B+, you forgot to account for…” then after a 5 minute lecture on how to improve, he goes back to typing or smth. The scientist just standing there baffled thinking ‘B+? What are we in? A classroom?”, and kind of bum hurt that they only got a B+ (bc ofc they want an A) so they go back to researching with a new ferocity cuz dammit they’re going to get that A. Cue the science team being fueled by Dr.Grace’s grades, them just rubbing it into each others faces if they get A’s or A+’s. Headcanon 2 is that he just keeps gold star stickers in his pockets so for example: All of them are in a meeting, Dr. smth pipes up with a good suggestion and he goes, “Great job! You get a gold star.” And just puts it on their phone case or badge and moves on, everyone is flabbergasted and a bit jealous except for the scientist who is just vibrating with happiness and a bit of fear because the co-dictator of the world just gave them a gold star.

Extra: Grace also hits Stratt with the 1 2 punch of “A+! Here’s a gold star.” On one of her presentations after staying up for 36+ hours and slaps a gold star on her forehead before conking out on the desk. Carl is in the corner desperately trying not to laugh bc Grace just did this in front of the entire Petrova task force while Stratt is just staring at him in confused amusement. Extra-extra: The mess hall on Stratt’s Vat has a ‘Fridge-board” which is a magnetic board acting as a fridge for all of their papers with A’s on it. Grace just being mortified when he learns that he’s been grading and giving gold stars to the top minds of the world and Stratt having to assure him that is boosts morale and that it’s fine.

(Once he gets sent off to space, everyone in the task force keeps their stars to remember him, because he never said goodbye.)

(Eva looking at her star and throwing it away, because she couldn’t stand the thought of having a gold star from the man she killed.)

At some point on the journey back to Erid, Rocky gets around to asking Grace exactly why he was so mesmerised by seeing the astrophage in the Petrova line.

Grace describes it as best he can, but all he can really manage to get across to Rocky is that he was surrounded by small floating lights.

Later on, Grace is talking about the stars and how important they've been to human cultures for millennia. “What do the stars look like, question?” Rocky wants to know.

Oh, y'know, they're a bunch of small floating lights.

There's a disco ball on the Hail Mary. Grace says it's there because it “makes me happy”. “How does it make Grace happy, question?” Rocky wants to know.

Oh, it creates the illusion that he's surrounded by small floating lights.

Rocky begins to do some research.

Glitter: a substance invented by humans to make things look like they're covered in small lights.

Human jewellery: mostly involves gemstones or polished metals, designed to reflect small lights.

Christmas lights. Candles. Lanterns. Fireworks. Glowsticks. Glow in the dark paint. Rocky is beginning to notice a pattern here, statement.

It takes Grace a fucking while after getting to Erid to notice that a lot of the gifts he's receiving from grateful Eridians are either a) sparkly, b) incredibly shiny, or c) fitted with lights.

While the last one is obviously a concession for his human light sense, he's confused about the former two. Are Eridian materials usually this shiny? Is there some quality about sparkly or highly polished surfaces that makes them sound better? Or is there something about Eridian geology/metallurgy that makes their materials like this?

He asks Rocky about it.

“Simple. I tell people humans like lots of small lights. Humans are easy to make happy.”

Grace kind of wants to protest that humans are much more complicated than that.

But honestly… it fucking works. Like yeah the polished gemstones, shiny metals and glittery rocks are beautiful. Yes those Christmas lights you put up around the house did markedly improve my mental health, Rocky. Thank you, I hate it.

Grace spends a lot of time trying not to think about whether his species' urge to explore the cosmos (that saved their planet and nearly killed him several times) is tied to the same instinct that made his students like glitter gel pens.

Some doodles about movies I watched recently

[colemckenzies]

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

[ggiornojo]

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

[colemckenzies]

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

[animatedamerican]

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

[nentuaby]

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

[animatedamerican]

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

[thepioden]

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”
