I’m really happy that Ryland Grace is seen by so many people as aroace because he’s not the stereotype that normally gets headcannoned as areoace. He’s not robotic and instead he’s allowed to feel emotions in their fullest spectrum. He’s allowed to have passions and deep friendships with others without there being a push for romance. He’s not lesser for not having a partner or considered innocent or naive. He’s allowed to be himself in its fullest form and that is accepted without question. Ryland Grace is a great person who is whole.

More studies of Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary, ft Rocky, aka the two bestest of friends ever from the best movie and also book ever oh my god

One of my fave moments is when Grace draws PPE onto Rocky's dome, so he can be included in big science time D:

When Grace inevitably dies on Erid they build him a statue. It is grand in that it is not towering, but built methodically with the utmost love respect and care. Adrian and Rocky oversee it’s construction and they ensure the Grace depicted not as a godlike saviour but a silly little space blob who taught their planets pebbles about relativity and who learnt to speak a language not made for his body. They make sure he is seen to be kind and brave. Lastly, they ensure an Eridian is carved with him so he will always have someone to watch him sleep.

According to Andy Weir's Eridian biology document, Eridians are better multitaskers than humans will ever be, but the trade off is they're physically incapable of locking in. SO funny to me. Yes this species can build a diorama while simultaneously blitzing through mathematics equations and also partaking in intense gossiping, but they cannot do any of those things for longer than, like, half an hour without going crazy. Species of supercomputers cursed with the TikTok attention span.

Rocky mocks Grace when he says that Rocky is distracting him by starting complex conversations while he's Trying To Do Science. "Human brain have to stop activity just because talking question? Useless! One track mind!"

Then Grace is on hour six of his "trying to recreate skittles" hyperfocus and Rocky is like What The Fuck. Statement.

Yeah human brains can only do a single very consuming task at a time but it can do it for a very long time. The one track in our one track minds spans multiple countries. Persistence predators, babey.

I really tried to tip the scales in your favor

I just want a fic where everyone is all ‘why is Dr Grace so grumpy today? He’s normally so sweet’ and Stratt goes to inspect him for like 5 minutes before grabbing scissors, snipping the tag out of the back of his shirt carefully enough not to leave one of those itchy lines behind, and then he’s a freaking sweetheart again for the rest of the day. Like the princess and the pea. And for some reason only her people watching abilities could figure out why.

Carl probably could have figured it out too, but he can’t be glued to Grace’s side 100% of the time lol.

obsessed w adrain being big enough to cradle grace in their arms and also have rocky resting on their carapace (or also in their arms! one mate to one arm even!) just ughhhhhh so glad everyone agreed that adrian is Large

"cool"

Ive seen the sentiment that Rocky is infantillized float around. Thing is, Rocky is like actually really fucking smart, and he learned English super fast. But he also knows Grace cant do the same and doesnt parse Eridan as well as Rocky can parse English.

So he dumbs down his speech to talk to Grace because he knows silly human bad at Eridan. Simpler words. Easier grammar.

Guys: Rocky is talking like how we would talk to a dog.

[autisticlittleguy]

This gets worse when you realize his species has photographic memory + an insane natural talent for math. Thlse factors probably contributed to why Eridians never developed computers---they just never needed them.

So from Rocky's POV humans take in information super slowly like a child, suck ass at math like they cant even do base 6 to base 10 conversion in their heads, and they do this thing called "forget" sometimes (Grace explained to Rocky that this is when information goes away over time (scary scary scary)). Also humans carry around these machines called "computers" which to him are basically disability aids.

Do you think Rocky is getting canceled by Eridians for infantilizing the human.
