So like

When Simon finally opens up to Grace about his past, being in prison for 16 years, telling him about Filament Station, about Eden- Grace suddenly stops him.

Because Grace is very good at math.

Simon seems to be in his early 30’s… meaning if he was locked up for 16 years he could have been anywhere from 13-18 at the time of the attack. Grace had been a middle school teacher. He had taught that exact age range, before watching those same kids that he taught grow and go to the high school in the next building over.

The idea of one of his kids being held responsible for 65 deaths and then sentenced to prison is enraging enough. The more he learns about the cult Simon was raised in- it sets off every alarm Grace had ever had as a teacher.

The fact that Simon was a child soldier and Grace was a child educator is not talked about enough.

I need Simon to be ‘forgiven’ by someone who understands that he was just a kid who had been groomed by a cult

I know there's a popular headcanon that Grace's crew died because of feeding tubes malfunction (based on the paperwork Grace was doing right before the explosion), but — in the book he specifically says that even after the accident he kept dealing with that same paperwork on minor Hail Mary issues, so I doubt that feeding tube problem was left unaddressed. May I offer instead:

Grace was put into coma by the people who cared about him. They (especially Yáo being Yáo) probably double-triple-quadruple checked everything. They watched him sleep for those first few days — I doubt they went into coma immediately after leaving Earth's orbit. They probably talked to him, assuring him that he'll be okay.

Ilyukhina's coma procedure was probably supervised by Yáo. He made sure that everything was in order, but — he is just one man and he is not a doctor. There was much more room for mistakes.

When Yáo went to sleep, he was alone. He had to rely on the technology completely.

We know that he died first.

This is true of the manga, but I love how the anime accentuates the absolute physical trust the apprentices have with Qifrey. Specifically with Agott, the way she is so ready when Qifrey says “hang on tight, I need my hands free” to cling to him a mile into the sky, and then in the latest episode, how, as soon as she impacts Qifrey while flying to him, she makes no move to save herself, she just curls into him and trusts that he will keep them from falling.

And I think it works as a signal to the audience, to subtly go “hey, I know we don’t trust Qifrey right now, he’s being shady, but we can always trust him to protect the physical wellbeing of his kids. Remember that.” Idk man maybe I’m getting too attached to a teeny detail but aaaaaaghhhh that’s her dad.

stealing your tags

#anyways i think it's particularly notable that fiercely independent always-has-something-to-prove Agott is like this with him#and that none of the apprentices really hide how they're feeling around him even when that feeling is negative#Agott and Richeh make it known when they're unhappy with Qifrey#and they (two abused kids) just flat out wouldn't do this if he wasn't a safe person to be unhappy at

WRONG WAY, MY SCARAB!!!!

[familyofpaladins]

Do you think Rocky is ever worried about the fact that Grace is suicidal, once he learns that the mission is a one way trip for him?

Like yeah sure, Grace is happy to be going home once Rocky offers the fuel. But do you think, somewhere in the back of his mind, he's worried about the fact that Grace volunteered for a suicide mission in the first place?

Then more things happen and Grace takes risks that put his life in danger, and yes its so they can complete their mission. But Rocky might still worry that Grace is still trying to die.

But then they succeed. They get the answer to save their worlds, and they each head home. Alone but alive.

Then the taumeoba escape. Rocky knows he is doomed. Unknown if the same fate has met Grace. If this is another opportunity for Grace to die.

But then Grace is there! He's knocking on the door! He came back to save him!

But now he's going to die, because theres not enough food for him to eat to get back to Erid

Rocky figures out a solution. Grace might not be able to eat Rocky's food, but he can eat taumeoba.

But good grief, can his friend stop almost dying? Please?

Do you think Rocky is actually relieved to learn that Grace didn't actually volunteer for the suicide mission. That he had wanted to Not Die so badly he had to be forced to go?

Relieved that his friend is not actually actively looking for chances to die

He's just a crazy, brave human

[familyofpaladins]

Grace, crying because he thinks his friend will think he is a coward and will hate him: I didn't volunteer for the mission. I had to be forced to save the world :(

Rocky, relieved to hear his friend didn't actually want to die: OH THANK FUCK
