I love the bloody marry ship because to me it’s just like

Weird Traumatized cat with his slightly less traumatized, but equally as weird as him human who keeps trying to coax him out from under the bed with salami

At some point on the journey back to Erid, Rocky gets around to asking Grace exactly why he was so mesmerised by seeing the astrophage in the Petrova line.

Grace describes it as best he can, but all he can really manage to get across to Rocky is that he was surrounded by small floating lights.

Later on, Grace is talking about the stars and how important they've been to human cultures for millennia. “What do the stars look like, question?” Rocky wants to know.

Oh, y'know, they're a bunch of small floating lights.

There's a disco ball on the Hail Mary. Grace says it's there because it “makes me happy”. “How does it make Grace happy, question?” Rocky wants to know.

Oh, it creates the illusion that he's surrounded by small floating lights.

Rocky begins to do some research.

Glitter: a substance invented by humans to make things look like they're covered in small lights.

Human jewellery: mostly involves gemstones or polished metals, designed to reflect small lights.

Christmas lights. Candles. Lanterns. Fireworks. Glowsticks. Glow in the dark paint. Rocky is beginning to notice a pattern here, statement.

It takes Grace a fucking while after getting to Erid to notice that a lot of the gifts he's receiving from grateful Eridians are either a) sparkly, b) incredibly shiny, or c) fitted with lights.

While the last one is obviously a concession for his human light sense, he's confused about the former two. Are Eridian materials usually this shiny? Is there some quality about sparkly or highly polished surfaces that makes them sound better? Or is there something about Eridian geology/metallurgy that makes their materials like this?

He asks Rocky about it.

“Simple. I tell people humans like lots of small lights. Humans are easy to make happy.”

Grace kind of wants to protest that humans are much more complicated than that.

But honestly… it fucking works. Like yeah the polished gemstones, shiny metals and glittery rocks are beautiful. Yes those Christmas lights you put up around the house did markedly improve my mental health, Rocky. Thank you, I hate it.

Grace spends a lot of time trying not to think about whether his species' urge to explore the cosmos (that saved their planet and nearly killed him several times) is tied to the same instinct that made his students like glitter gel pens.

@sharkfiinn

I hope you know that I got all of my coworkers to absolutely adore Prism— I work in a microbiology lab, so now we have a familiar pebble helping us out! Don’t worry, they have all the necessary PPE <33

[stiffyck]

its important to make sure your leaky alien best friend gets enough cuddles

[sharkfiinn]

if Grace and Rocky sleep together is that where Prism comes from

help

[mteverestaaaaahh]

if the airlock (or just any of this) looks inaccurate, excuse me, I’m an idiot

warning: blood, and Grace frying the ever-loving heck out of his arm

[wolfythewitch]

Do you guys wanna see the version of bloodymary im somewhat invested in

[wolfythewitch]

Imagine you float up from near death and some old guy is poking you in the face and humming

[rue-x3]

Svsss non transmigration au where all of the PLs reside in different dungeon floors (think game-like stuff) and SY & XF work as little merchants that travel across the floors selling goods and stuff to both the life in the dungeon and the people outside trying to conquer it.

SQQ: You're here earlier than usual.

SY: Yeah but I bought you something I thought you'd like.

SQQ, raising a brow: Which is?

SY, rummaging through his bag and pulling out an intricate looking fan: Check this baby out

SQQ, who's yet to see a fan before: What is that?

SY: A fan! An object with class!

SQQ: I can't imagine why.

SY: Don't dismiss it so fast, give it a try.

SQQ, picking up the fan and flicking it open curiously: And do what with it?

SY: Well it's usually used to establish status and whatnot, but there's some practical use too! This one's been enchanted by XF so it should be able to keep up with you.

SQQ: XF..? So this is a bribe?

SY: He'd appreciate it if you didn't let your pets attack him.

SQQ, snorting: They're just playing with him

SY: Qingqiu letting giant spiritual cats chase him to the point of fearing his life is not playing

SQQ, narrowing his eyes and flicking the dan open in front of his face naturally: ...Pussy

SY: Excuse the fuck out of me?????

--

XF: Bro I met the hidden boss of SQH's floor and holy shit. It turns out that it was the guy from that one time, in the other dungeon!

SY: How did you manage to do THAT? Why would he bring out the hidden boss for no reason? Also I didn't know this was a connected dungeon.

XF: I'm pretty sure it's just SQH's floor that's connected. Anyways I walked in during a meeting or whatever when the guy was chewing him out and what else could I do but save my number one client?

SY: You, saving anyone??

XF: Excuse you, I can be heroic when I want to!

SY: Okay then, how'd you save the day mr knight in shining armor.

XF: I begged

SY: You what

XF: Acting pathetic takes you a long way actually.

SY: Do you actually have no shame?

XF: Shame isn't what brings in the money bro

SY: Genuinely who even are you.

--

SQQ, waving the fan that he now knows how to use in front of his face and narrowing his eyes: Liu Qingge get the hell off of my floor.

LQG, who broke through the ceiling of his floor to get into SQQ'S floor: Are you holding him hostage

SY, who is very much not being held hostage, noticing the gaping hole in the floo: Qingge why are you up here—what the fuck is going on with the floor.

SQQ: Hold on, you call that brute Qingge? Are you serious? You can do much better

LQG, offended: Excuse you? (Drawing his blade)

SY: ??? What??? The floor???

SQQ, activating the enchantments on his fan: Did your inability to use your brain spread to your ears???

SY: Guys wait what

--

Oum I need some ideas for what type of dungeon bosses each PL would be

SQQ is one of those bosses with a hidden phase. His is especially hard to transition to because unlike the green motifs spread throughout his dungeon, his boss form utilizes fire more than anything

SQH is still a dungeon boss it's just there's a chance after defeating SQH, MBJ will come and he's like 10x harder for people to fight.

[cabinette]

this is MY au where everybody gets so be wildly unprofessional

[podcake]

audio drama is freaking weird. they're stories more often than not created out of sheer willpower and creative insanity. the storytelling is rooted almost entirely around the strength of the voice acting, writing, and sound design. the characters usually just look however you want them to. they're almost always unabashedly gay. sometimes cecil baldwin and jonathan sims are there.

[gazpachoandbooks]

Book Rocky: okay so I thought of this really cool design for a ball I could move around in so I wouldn't die in your atmosphere bc I reaaally want to see your ship, but I wouldn't want to impose. Would it be OK if I took a look around, question?

Book Grace: OF COURSE!!! I want to show you human technology! Lemme just go tide up real fast.

Film Grace: what the fuck are you doing in a ball

Film Rocky: didn't you hear?? We're roomies now. Why do you live in a dumpster, question?

Film Grace: you can't just say "we're roomies now"

Film Rocky: *holding up a sign that says "I CAN DO WHAT I WANT, STATEMENT"* sounds like a you problem. Let's make me a room I'm not going to live in this fucking mess

[uovoc]

What I envision for Grace is this. He would have been a normal guy if he'd stayed on earth. As a baseline, he is not a monsterfucker or an alienfucker. He's not even really into other humans because he can only get the hots for someone if they've established a soul-baring level of emotional intimacy first, which is impossible because he's allergic to vulnerability. On the flip side this means that on the off chance that he establishes a soul-baring level of emotional intimacy with someone, he's going to have the hots for them no matter what the genital situation is. If Rocky had been a cloud of sentient algae he would have wanted to do it in the cloud. However Grace doesn't know this. He thinks he must have had some kind of latent alien fetish and that's why he was so bad at relationships

[beyondknowingbeyondthestars]

Gay or European from Legally Blond but it's the wives talking about Luo Bingge

[falore52]

Shen Yuan is actually a great cautionary tale abt underestimating the effect your presence has on the ones you care about. You are fucking important. Your good actions matter, and won’t be completely erased by one bad deed. Your life matters. People care about you. They won’t stop caring about you just bc you think they would be justified to. Communicate. Do not kys right in front of your favourite person out of a misguided attempt to cheer them up with your death you fucking idiot I swear to Airplane.
