Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“WHY QUESTION???”

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

“WHY QUESTION?????”

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.

Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

God can you imagine being Rocky?

You're sick. You recognise the symptoms from your crew, you have radiation poisoning. The astrophages that were protecting you and powering the ship are gone. You couldn't find the leak in time to stop it. And now you're dying out here in space, alone.

The life support systems on the ship are shutting down. Everything is shutting down. Your planet will die– your entire star system will die. They'll never know how close you came to saving them.

You think about Grace. Is his ship dying too? Or is he on his way home, none the wiser to your fate?

Maybe you're fighting until the end, or maybe you've 'made peace' with it.

And then you hear knocking, on the outside of your ship. Furious, desperate banging on the window. Your friend, your lab partner, your first contact, has come back to save you.

Amaze amaze amaze.

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

Juno Steel is so fun

He’s an asshole. He’s a Lady. He’s 99% trauma. He’s a tough guy. He’s whiny. He has the charisma of a drowned cat. He’s everyone’s crush. He’s terrible to his friends. He would kill for his friends. He hates literally everyone. He was ready to die for civilization. He’s objectively a terrible person. He’s not irredeemable.

Case of the Murderous Mask from Nureyev's perspective, though. You are a master thief doing yet another con and this time you're larping as a secret agent/occult nerd. it's gonna be easy peasy. you've done this a hundred times before.

except you're teaming up with a cute and messy detective and oh, you work incredibly well together in dangerous situations. oh, he opens up and gets vulnerable around you. he believes he can stand up for what's right in an unjust world no matter how futile. oh shit he's clever he's oh so clever and he sees through your mask and sees you for who you are. this should be a bad thing considering you are a career criminal but instead it's the hottest thing you've ever seen. he's the first person to discover the real you through sheer cleverness in twenty years. you make out with him and ask him to run away with you. he says no. you tell him your most dangerous secret instead.
