I’m sorry for adding directly to a post but I went to a wedding once where the groom’s name was Loren and the bride’s name was Lauren and at the end the officiant was all “introducing Loren [surname] and Lauren [surname], husband and wife” and the entire assembled lost it
also sorry for adding on but at my high school there was a Dominic and a Dominique who were dating and everyone just called them “Dom and Dommer” which is honestly the funniest shit ever
alright that's the end of the scheduled uploads. lets see what happens to my upload schedule now.... also i have such an idea for each panel on that first page so im writing in what little task are happening in each in the close ups section
First - Previous - Next
close ups (+ transcript) \/
^ simon is making it up to rocky, helping him fix rocky's bed. this takes MUCH less time to do than when grace initially helped build it, despite 1 less limb in the equation
^ simon and grace are divvying up the clothes they have, seeing who gets what and which clothes they're gonna share. simon basically says "whatever" to "owning" any of the clothes options, despite grace's best effort to get simon to claim some clothes for his own
^ grace and rocky have a show they've been watching episodically day by day (just as an activity for them to look forward to and not go stir crazy), and damn them if some blood covered mutant human is gonna break their streak. you can headcannon for yourself what show it is
Theories:
1. They're an independent group of scientists that are paid to do illegal experiments by 3rd parties. Explains why they're lying about their experiments (you can't just "save stars") and maybe Rocky (Robot made by Grace? ACTUAL alien?) Will likely do psychological experiments on me, may have already started. Keep on your toes.
2. We're on the other side of the QR. Don't wanna think about this one too much, it'll hurt if it turns out to be wrong.
3. Honestly not sure about time travel. I never learned much about Earth history, but the year they're telling me (2026/2039 ad, EIC started around 1990ad I think?) makes no sense. They seemed confused when I used EIC and IMC. Our historical timelines don't match, but it's be bizarre to lie about...
