I love seeing people dissecting how Eridians being ambush predators and humans being persistence hunters ends up affecting how Grace and Rocky interact and I think this goes for what they think is “cute” about the other.

Grace coos over Rocky “loafing” because to him that’s a sign of rest, trust, and vulnerability (even knowing full well that Eridians sleep on a pin cushion with everything spread out). Eridians probably take being low to the ground as a sign of aggression- like you’re trying to hide and get the better of them.

Rocky loves Grace’s bad dance moves because to Eridians, being splayed out and making yourself as big as possible is trust, rest, and vulnerability. He’s making himself well-seen. But if Rocky ever tries like- walking on two legs or shows his underside to Grace while walking Grace freaks out because on EARTH, making yourself big is the sign of aggression.

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

I really do love that we've collectively decided that Adrian is the Eridian equivalent of Jessica Rabbit. They're so super hot and everyone is trying to court them while Rocky is away, especially now that it's been like ~50 years, but they just won't because no one could brighten their day like Rocky, and if Rocky doesn't come back, the sun might as well die.

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son

Imagine Ryland and Carl are out walking around San Francisco when they happen to run into a group of Ryland's students. They stop for a moment to chat, and then one of the kids looks at Carl and asks, completely out of nowhere and with no filter: "Are you Mr. Grace's husband?" Ryland nearly chokes on his own spit. Carl doesn't miss a beat and just says: "Working on it."

The students think this is hilarious and immediately decide that their science teacher has the coolest boyfriend ever. Ryland spends the rest of the day pondering whether that was basically a proposal.

In this AU Simon and Adrian get stuck in their progress as neither of them have the expert6 that Grace and Rocky have. When Grace gets there he's able to start piecing together the notes left by strats team and then there's another blip- LOOOL ROCKY IS HERE!!! Adrian and their crew is taking too long so hes on a rescue mission. Then it's GRACE AND ROCKY SAVE STARSSSS and a one way trip to Erid 😮‍💨♥️

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
