[ermine-57047]

it's midnight and I'm practically in tears at the thought of rocky becoming sort of a patron saint of safety in the dark back on earth

Weighted plushies of Rocky being made. Parents giving them to their children, telling them "It's okay! Rocky's here to watch over you. He'll make sure to keep you safe."

[aliferousmetal]

diabolical concept: eridians typically do not move the bodies of their deceased from where that person chose to pass. the land reclaims them within a few years, anyway. but when rocky returns home, he amends his last will and testament to ask that his body be moved into grace’s biodome if he dies before grace. he wants to give grace a chance to finally make contact with his carapace without it injuring either of them. when grace finds out, he amends his own testament to do the inverse. rocky’s body would fare better in the biodome than grace’s body outside of it, but either way, they eventually get to make contact without the grief of causing pain.

Grace is bored. Bored, bored, bored. Capital B, bored.

Rocky, his partner in crime and entertainment is currently 2 hours deep into his 6 hour nap leaving Grace on his own in these enrichment deprived times. He's currently laying starfished on the floor of the dormitory running through every project they've come up with to fill time and get ready for arriving to Erid but none of them are sparking joy at the moment.

Grace groans, rolling onto his stomach and thumping his head on the floor hard enough for Armando to chirp in concern.

“It's fine, I'm fine, everything is fine,” he mumbles into the floor, “Not going crazy or nothin'.”

Armando chirps in a decidedly disbelieving way but returns to standby anyway.

Another minute passes before Grace fails his legs in frustration like a toddler and introduces his toes to the wall -hard-. He yelps, pulling his leg up to grab his toes so he can continue rolling around the floor like an idiot.

“Oh, sugar honey iced tea, that was a bad idea. Mother fluffer.”

He almost doesn't hear the panel he kicked fall to the floor..

“Oh good, now I'm breaking the ship,” he wheezes, “Sorry, Mary.”

“Apology accepted, Dr. Grace.”

He drags himself over to pop the panel back into place when he notices a device crammed between the wire bundles. Carefully, in case it's actually a part of the system, he works it out from the space and finds himself holding a smart phone with OLESYA written in silver sharpie on the back.

Heck yeah, contraband.

He sends a quick thank you to his crewmate before scrambling to the junk drawer for a suitable charging cable. Gosh he hopes this thing has games on it. Not that the laptops don't, but playing Candy Crush on anything but a phone feels like sacrilege. Knowing Olesya this thing probably has half the app store installed with all the ads removed.

He crows in delight when he finds the right charging cord and nearly vibrates while the thing charges to 10% before he can't handle it any longer and powers it on. In true Olesya fashion, the power up screen has been modded to say “Go Fuck Yourself :)” in Russian before bringing up the lock screen which is the Hail Mary patch edited so the ship is a vibrator. Grace has to hold back tears because it's so her that it hurts. Luckily, she didn't set a password so a quick swipe opens the device.

Yao, Olesya, and Dubois stand proudly behind a mess of apps littering the home screen. Grace can almost feel his attention span shorten as he scrolls through his new entertainment options before opening the settings to check the storage limits and cackling at the absurd amount of space she'd managed to stuff into this off brand monstrosity.

The gallery storage managed to catch his attention as he closed settings. It was taking up nearly a quarter of the storage space and he needed to know what the heck Olesya was hoarding in there, hopefully it wasn't just porn.

It was not.

--

When Rocky finally woke up it was to Grace holding a small rectangular device and making horrific choking sounds. His glasses were pushed up into his hair and his face soaked in tears.

“Grace?”

His thumb swiped across the surface of the rectangle and he let out another awful squealing sound.

“Grace?!”

Grace raised his hand in a “hang on” position before setting the rectangle down and launching into a coughing fit. 

Ah, wait, Grace is laughing. Rocky vented a sigh and resettled into a “loaf” to wait for Grace to “get his shit together”. It took about five rounds of calming down and then immediately starting to giggle again before Grace was finally able to at least communicate that Rocky needed his light reader before falling into yet another giggle fit.

“Guh! OK,” Grace managed to croak out. He'd crawl over to rest his back against the xenonite tunnel so Rocky could get a good shot at the screen of the rectangle.

“I found this in the wall about four hours ago-”

“What is?”

“Uh, cellphone. I think I kinda explained it a while ago? The whole Apple vs Android rant?”

Rocky nodded, “Consumer loyalty.”

“Right, this one is specially built by Olesya but the system is based on Android. Overall this is what most cell phones look like, at least when I was on Earth.”

“What use, question? No reach Earth for call.”

“No but this is a smart phone, it's not actually intelligent but it's basically an even more portable laptop. Not as much storage and not great for typing but it condenses several other objects we used to carry around like cameras, notebooks, and even our wallets into one small device.”

Rocky gave an impressed whistle, “So what on cellphone make Grace laugh, question? Thought you got stupider while Rocky sleep and forgot how to breathe.”

Grace stuck his tongue out at him before turning the device on and tapping at the screen, “I found some old pictures and videos from the Project. I think half the storage on this thing is dedicated to the crap we did on Stratt's Vat, she even downloaded a copy of the internal ‘Vatchat’ app.”

Rocky hummed like he knew what Grace was saying.

“Here, let me show you.”

Carl taking a break on the couch, he's holding a thick novel and wearing itty bitty reading glasses. Grace is being pinned behind Carl to the back of the couch, it looks like he passed out mid-struggle.

Grace, Ilyukhina, and a couple lab techs trying to teach Armando to dance.

Dr. Lamia giving Grace, Ilyukhina, and a couple lab techs a stern lecture for trying to teach Armando to dance.

Compilation of scientists standing up and stretching accompanied by horrific joint cracking.

A sign detailing the newly instated mandatory stretch routine and chiropractor/physio appointments. A note threatening mandatory exercise is scribbled in the bottom corner.

An incident report about citric acid poisoning.

A notes list of all the incredibly out of date sayings that Grace picked up from the older teachers and the old VHS tapes he played for his elementary work-study classes. (Sometimes the American lab techs would go check the calendar date when he said something particularly bad and then yell "It's not 1997, I checked!”.)

A video series styled and edited like the Bill Nye series but it's Grace explaining astrophage and the Hail Mary Project in a kid friendly way. (These were released to the public.)

Girl you can't just say that

[vv0812]

I like to think that the ghosts of Yáo Li Jie and Olesya Ilyukhina stayed with Grace through his time in the Hail Mary.

They were invested in the mision and dying even before they could fulfill their roles for the Project Hail Mary must be reason enough for them to have uncomplete things to do.

I like to think that they were accompaning Grace through his mission, giving him strenght to not lose his mind. That those moments in which he learned something about himself out of nowhere, or those sparks that lead them to solutions related to how to navigate Hail Mary were motivated by the efforts of Yáo and Ilyukhina to guide and help him.

Imagine with me:

Yáo and Ilyukhina not understanding they are dead at the start and thinking that they just wake up earlier (Yáo die first so he realize first in thinking this, when Ilyukhina dies Yáo explains to her that she did not survive the induced coma).

Yáo and Ilyukhina knowing that is cruel to wish for Grace to wake up sound and safe, just for him to be complete alone, but he is the only hope they have left.

Yáo and Ilyukhina feeling more at ease after Grace gives their corpses to the stars.

Ilyukhina been the most excited one about Rocky apparition, because she was an engineer and is just fascinated by what Rocky can do.

Yáo and Ilyukhina been indignated to have lost their chance to be part of the first contact in life.

Yáo trying to pass his knowledge as a captain to Grace, to ease his way with the controls.

Ilyukina been that little voice in Grace head of giving a chance to the Blip- A, that maybe they are friendly.

Yáo been a quiet force that supports Grace. There is point, at least in the book in which Grace seems to think that maybe he was brave, but he doesn't remember it, maybe that thought came from Yáo who believed that anyone could be brave.

All those little moments of luck been Ilyukhina and Yáo trying to influence so Rocky and Grace can have a successful mission.

Both ghosts, but specially Yáo bringing bad energies the moment they realize that Grace was sent against his will.

Ilyukhina crossing to the other side in peace the moment that realize that Rocky is the new engineer and that Grace has made the taumeba been able to survive Venus and the eridiani-2 planet.

Yáo crossing to the other side in peace when Grace decides to go rescue Rocky, because he can finally see Grace been truly brave for someone he cares.

Extra + Rocky

If Grace has 2 ghosts taking care of him, Rocky has 22.

22 eridian ghosts noticing the Hail Mary first and making it more noticiable for Rocky (maybe they made subtle sounds or vibrations so Rocky would have a better picture of it).

The Blip-B and Blip-C having a perfect trajectory to the Hail Mary thanks to the 22 eridian ghosts.

22 eridian ghosts celebrating that their single survivor has been able to be part of the first contact.

The Hail Mary been the home of 22 eridian ghosts who come in all the sizes and shapes.

22 eridian ghosts been fascinated with the alien that Grace is and how leaky he is.

22 eridian ghosts concentrating their efforts so Rocky is able to recover after been burn by the oxygen.

22 eridian ghosts using their best clothes (they are ghosts they can wear whatever they want) as a celebration for having succed in doing the taumeba.

22 eridian ghosts not knowing what to do once Blip-A starts failing and Rocky is left without astrophage.

22 eridian ghosts crossing to the other side in peace once they hear the knock outside the Blip-A, because Grace is here.

Extra Extra:

Both ghosts, human and eridian, been able to "see", understand and "touch" each other and doing and alliance for sake of their two single survivors, who needed a team and a miracle, and all they got are ghosts and each other.

[nebulonvoid]

One thing that I've noticed and appreciate about the PHM fandom is how much Grace gets passed around like a blunt.

That man is every color of the rainbow.

The man gets taken out of his fandom just to be passed around like a blunt in other fandoms.

He is the most aroace and pansexual agender man I have ever seen.

So far the running list that I've seen:

Rocky

Simon

Adrian

Carl

Rocky and Adrian

Stratt

Dubois and Shapiro (do not separate them, they come as a pair)

Ilyukhina

Yáo

Dimitri

Dr. Lokken

Tom Ryder

Driver from Drive (2011)???

Engineer Mark from In Space With Markiplier?

Din Djarin????????

Rocky again, but instead he looks like James Ortiz (i love seeing this one actually lol) (it's also good if human!Adrian looks like Meryl Streep)

More Markiplier????

Mark Watney

The 9th Doctor???

The 10th Doctor???

The 12th Doctor as well???

Like, let the man breathe 😭😭😭 he's practically just stumbling around, dazed, with a crazy amount of comical lipstick marks covering his face at this point lol

Edit: I've been told to add Tony Stark to the list. I don't know how this man got here, and I hate that I can see it

Edit 2: apparently I should also add Superman to this list??? Where are you all getting these ideas from??? (But, please, continue. I like wherever your crazy little brain's at)

Edit 3: okay, yeah, I guess Armando's on this list now. Didn't know that this guy was that freaky. (Also, apparently I need to add the three Captain Americas (Steve, John, Sam) which is kind crazy ngl. Where are all getting all these ideas from??? Please continue making Grace the fandom blunt, this is entertaining)

Edit 4: Odysseus. I don't have anything else to say bc I'm just... In shock

Edit 5: Shiro. From Voltron. How do you guys even come up with this stuff???

Edit 6: Robert Robertson III
