When itās announced that a Bay Area middle school teacher is one of three heroes sent to save the world, San Francisco clamors to rename things to āRyland Grace.ā Grover Cleveland Middle is quick to the draw, becoming Ryland Grace Middle the very next school year. Grace also gets a street, of course, a science wing at Stanford, a state park along the coast ā by the time the Beetles return, you could probably throw a rock in San Francisco and hit a Ryland Grace reference.
Eva Stratt, meanwhile, is a stain. Graffiti tucked away in alleys and under bridges, forever painted over by the powers that be. A name meant to be forgotten. Stratt has always known this was part of the deal: after all, humanity needs a villain just as much as it needs its heroes. The best she can hope for is to be erased entirely on Earth.
And yet, light-years away, there is a beloved body of water, its surface dancing with artificial waves, that Ryland Grace wistfully refers to as The Sea of Stratt.
I always think there's a period during the 5 year journey to Erid where Rocky had to learn how to touch Grace and I mean that in the most general, safety first, way possible. Even through the mesh, a wrong pinch of the claws could Shatter Grace's bones since Rocky comes from a double gravity and has no nerves on his carapace to gauge pressure with.
I imagine him practicing his gentle touch on a doll or a puppet he had made from frail materials because he needs a lot of finesse and motor control if he wants to come in contact with his favorite space oddity without tearing his skin off like the foil off a sandwitch.
Grace constantly covered in deep angry bruises because Rocky bumped into him too hard or reached to hold his hand too excitedly. Grace never telling Rocky because he was trying so hard to be controlled already.
Rocky deciding to keep himself as still as possible when Grace hugs him because a single wrong move could end up with Grace's delicate limbs under +300 kgs of solid mineral.
Physical touch being hard earned and the result of a surgeon's precision.
I know these are supposed to be unintentional compliments, but this idea made me laugh too hard not to draw. The Eridian Hating Committee has been digging a little too deep for dirt on Grace.
Rocky is going to take this as a personal attack bc how DARE anyone threaten his leaky space blob.

Eva Stratt is truly not mysterious, sure she seems that way, but not because she wants that, but simply because no one bothered to ask her anything about herself.
When Grace asked something personal she answers, both in the book and the movie. For example she tells him in the book about how she studied history and also talks about her going to go to jail, and in the movie she tells him about the youth choir she was in.
Ps: this is going to sound so desperate, but if you see this, maybe check out the moodboard I posted about her?āŗļø Iām really excited about it and barely anyone sees it š
James Ortiz really out here saying, "We had to figure out how to portray emotion in a rock through physicality, I hope we can do it"
And then you have scenes like, Rocky is telling Grace the Eridian scientists are ready to work on the Hail Mary to take him back to Earth, and you can tell he's nervous to tell him this by the way he shuffles his claws in the sand, almost like he doesn't want tell Grace, because he doesn't want his friend to leave but knows its his choice, so when Grace says he wants to think about it, he perks up and says 'take as long as you need', not just because its a big decision, but he wants his friend to stay even if its a little longer and the fact that he's not choosing to immediately leave makes him happy
I believe (based on clips I've heard) Rocky does express this in the book to Grace, ("Speaking selfishly, I hope you dont go" - something like that) but they didn't need to have him say that in the movie, cause you could tell by his body language
So yes, James Ortiz and Rocketeers, you did a fucking great job!
have never given even a passing glance to the predator/prey dynamic like it was never my thing. but let me tell you something. those comics exploring persistence hunter grace slowly trailing after rocky changed something in me,,,, rockys confidence that slowly becomes more and more strained,, huffing and puffing heat out of his vents,,, grace unintentionally scaring the shit out of rocky without even realizing it and being like Haha thats what you get for talking big. meanwhile rocky is like wwhat. Wwwhhatttt the fuuuuck was that
God I miss the days when you could show up to a strangerās farm and heād say āWhatās your name, boy?ā and youād take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply āWhy I aināt got none, sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me oneā and heād tell you heās real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do you for and youād tell him that you canāt read nor even write neither but youāre mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and wonāt ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and heād keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who aināt got married yet even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of youād get to talkin and heād throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinkin from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again heād take a sip from it too real slow-like like it werenāt the whiskey what he were tryna savour
every day at least once while on a walk i think to myselfĀ āit werenāt the whiskey what he were tryna savourā and sometimes if i am alone i say it out loud
i think the first time grace loses a tooth from scurvy, once they get past the initial panic (āno, i wonāt die from losing one toothā and āyeah, it hurts, but itās not that badā and āi can still eat just fine, i promiseā), rocky tentatively asks if he can hear it more closely.
āyeah, sure.ā grace holds up the tooth to the xenonite barrier.
āno, closer,ā rocky says, claws clicking nervously. āwant to hold.ā
grace considers that. if rocky were to, say, lose a chunk of carapace, heād ask to have it without a second thought. heād probably make an excuse about wanting to point a spectrometer at it or test its properties, and heād obviously do those things, but heād mainly just want to touch it. to hold a piece of rocky without fear of either of them being harmed.
he drops the tooth into the exchange drawer and rocky lunges to retrieve it. grace has a thousand self-hating, existential thoughts about losing it ā his health is declining so quickly, his smile is changed forever, he can guess which tooth heāll lose next ā but they all quiet as he watches rocky pick it up with trembling claws. rocky cradles the tooth in the palm of his hand like a delicate treasure, warbling a wordless tune of delight, and grace thinks that, if he makes it through this, everything might just be okay.
