ryland grace joins a star wars erotic roleplay discord on a whim because some random misfiring neuron buried in his subconscious is like "well maybe i could [censored] an alien" and he mostly just lurks there at first, and discovers to his disappointment that most of the people there are just roleplaying the human characters??? nobody wants to roleplay one of the fucking. i don't know, the fucking bug people from attack of the clones with him. and then when someone does agree to roleplay with him, they get their feelings hurt by his extremely reasonable constructive criticism about their speculative xenobiology worldbuilding. the mods keep telling him to chill out, this is supposed to be for fun, but how is grace supposed to have fun when people keep getting their made up alien bug facts wrong. anyway then they have to ban him from star wars erotic roleplay discord because he keeps picking fights with people about like the alien krebs cycle or some shit. do you all see my vision.

i think these things are happening concurrently. it was a very troubled period in his life 😔

[cowardsexual]

the thing with rocky is, does he want to kill himself? no. he has the weight of survivor guilt and responsibility towards his entire crew to keep him from killing himself for 46 years. he cannot allow himself to die. he owes them at least that. give him the choice to trade his life for even a single other blip-a member tho and he would deep throat a gun harry dubois style. case in point:

[cowardsexual]

my beautiful mutuals and many other enlightened minds have discussed the possibilities for tension between rocky and adrian re: gracerocky codependency, but ever since that interview with james ortiz i have been plagued with a vision of like. rocky returning to erid as the sole survivor of what, while highly dangerous, was never meant to be a suicide mission... adrian having other family (i was thinking hatchmate) on the blip-a crew as well alongside rocky, and their relief at rocky's safe return getting swept up in their grief. all the families of the other survivors. his best friend is starving in 2 months. it's touchdown day on erid and rocky's "it should've been me. it should've been me" stocks have never been higher

sometimes my Beloved Mutuals will rb a post about a certain character archetype and i will have to physically restrain myself from saying “yeah you would say that wouldn’t you”

[gumy-shark]

jasper you don’t get to get away with this that easily.

new ask game: what’s the character archetype that makes you go “of course you would say that” when i post about it?

being a slow fandom artist feels like this

it gets to a point that is just weirder if they didn't fuck

[subaru-copilot]

you did all this and it was not even because you wanted to bang him? weirdo

[normal-creature]

how some people portray rocky: haha funny space rock that says fuck

actual rocky: *waking up every waking period for 46 years* should i kill myself today? is today the day I finally give up and launch myself out of the airlock?

Here's a compilation of Grace fawning over Rocky in the book (might've missed some)

From that, they concluded that I must be able to see the Petrova line. They're smart. [pg.148] They connected my airlock to theirs, with a wall in the middle. Clever. [pg.166] "I like you, Rocky! You're a genius!" And he is! [pg.183] Brilliant. Simply brilliant. [pg.186] I bet Rocky's the captain! He puts himself at risk by talking to the scary alien. Everyone else stays back on the ship. That's what Captain Kirk would do. [pg.195] I've never seen him be wrong on arithmetic. [pg.211] Wow, he's quick. [pg.254] The closer we get, the more I respect Rocky's astronomy skills. [pg.278] "You're an amazing engineer." [pg.287] Rocky - ever the talented engineer [pg.309] He really is a genius. I wonder if all Eridians are like that, or if he's special. [pg.310] "Smart," I say. [pg.348] Rocky seems to be able to do pretty much anything. Either he's gifted, or all Eridians are like that. Either way, I'm incredibly lucky. [pg.365] the world's best engineer [pg.377] I don't doubt him for a second. The guy knows engineering. [pg.388] Rocky delivered on the testing apparatus as promised. As always, everything worked flawlessly. [pg.388] At this point I trust Rocky to do any engineering task. Heck, if he wanted to do open-heart surgery on me, I'd probably let him. [pg.410] Rocky's ad-hoc fuel bays are perfect, of course. [pg.419] "you're my best friend." [pg.425] I wish Rocky were here. [pg.438] I always wish Rocky were here. [pg.438] Rocky tends to find elegant solutions to complex problems. [pg.444] He's one of the most talented engineers on his entire planet! [pg.445] All of the hard stuff is already done, thanks to Rocky. [pg.451] There's nothing Rocky can't fix. [pg.454] Rocky could probably whip something up if he were here. [pg.457] I wish Rocky were here to help me save Rocky. [pg.457] "I have full faith in your abilities." [pg.488]

good grief GET A GRIIIIPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nevertheless-moving]

ohh shit. Once Rocky arrived in the Tau Ceti system and got to work, it no longer mattered when he left the engine room to run around the ship (trying to use lab equipment and fixing things and trying and failing and fixing on and on and on). The reason Rocky didn't die of radiation poisoning during the 40+ years he was in the Tau Ceti system is because he was parked in the petrova line. His entire ship was in a cloud of astrophage. He never succeeded at capturing any but the fact that he never stopped trying quite literally kept him alive.
