This is Dr. Captain Ryland Grace reporting from the Hail Mary.

[scarlct-vvitch]

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)

rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

[eranajmes]

#it's 3am and grace is like would you love me if i was a worm #and rocky's like There Is No Circumstance In Which I Would Not Cherish You #but he's limited by the translator so it comes out like “yes statement. obviously. what is worm question”

I love how the biggest space guys on tumblr right now, Dr. Captain Ryland Grace and Simon the Convict, are played by Mark “send me to space I don’t care if I don’t come back” Iplier, and Ryan “oh my god please don’t send me to space. Why are you sending me to space?!?” Gosling.

I just think that’s hilarious

The reason that I fell in love with Rocky as a character, as a physics student, was during Grace's first in-person meeting with him, and there is just one small area of clear material that Grace is able to look through.

I can't remember where I first saw this information, but apparently Rocky's aim was to make the wall to the tunnel out of many different materials to find out which one Grace is able to see through easiest, not based on opacity - like a human or something that evolved to see light does - but based on acoustic impedance. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a way of measuring how easily sound passes through a material - usually used in ultrasound scans. Therefore, for a species who uses echo-location, he's working out which material is easiest for Grace to see through - and from what I can tell he just got lucky with the clear Xenonite. I'm also fairly sure that he was completely unaware about species that see through light waves rather than echo-location, based on his reactions to Grace in the movie.

Basically, Rocky wanted to make things as accessible as he could for any alien that he could come across with the limited knowledge that he had of how different species see things. He is essentially setting himself up to be as accessible as he can for anyone he could possible meet out there. Whether its due to desperation for connection, or just because he's Like That, that's why I think he's so neat. His first interaction with Grace is just him trying to make Grace as comfortable as possible.

I LOVE ROCKYY

i love the kind of ship where calling them lovers feels almost reductive, when the friendship they share is the most important aspect of their closeness and has been there since way before they actually fell for each other.. calling you my “friend” because my attachment to you is not purely based in romance, you were my dear friend first before you became anything else. because i’m not just attracted to you, i adore your soul and how it connects with mine. because i don’t just love you, i like you. because love can end, but in our case i know even when you leave that you will always return. THROWS UP EVERYWHERE!!!!

IRON LUNG (2026) dir. Markiplier

[living-force]

Simon "the butcher", who is horrified when he finds out he sentenced a man to death by pressing the camera button.

Simon "the butcher" who keeps apologizing for not knowing better, for causing harm to the people in the room, for being rightfully angry and lashing out, turning every knob and lever and pressing that damn button because why would it work when he doesn't have any power and why didn't they just Tell Him??

Simon "the butcher" who gets teary and has the look of a hurt child on his face when ava mentions filament station and his voice trembles when he is quick to say "that wasn't supposed to happen"...

Simon "the butcher" who apologizes to the sm-13, an inanimate object, after hitting the console.

Just... Simon being so unbeliebably human throughout the whole movie, it makes my heart ache for him
