⚠️PHM SPOILERS

No one can convince me this isn’t why Rocky got their new little dome thing

Tfw you forget there's term for it, on account of the amnesia

Happy pride!

Book canon is correct and eating is a personal and private activity, Movie!Rocky's just a freak (/affectionate, positive, adoring, loving)

Among the sizeable portion of humanity who would believe the Eridian footage to be faked, I wonder if “yeah, and Dr. Grace went to live on Erid in a beautiful biodome” becomes the new “we sent your dog to live on a farm upstate”

TFW you’re reading the tags on a fic you were considering reading and you’re getting increasingly sure that you Do Not Want To Read That

icantspellhocky

New flavor: tags that start out very normal and quickly get very very very outside of the normal.

Oh okay there’s some OC’s and some people are possesive…. WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE ARE BEING TURNED INTO TREES

Like you do you but I was Not expecting that in the tags lmao

My explanation for the book v. film difference on Eridian eating customs is that movie!Rocky was full-on bluffing.

Like he was just calling human eating disgusting, what was he going to do, say "okay actually the way Eridians eat is so incredibly gross we do it in private sound-proofed rooms"? And cede the conversational high-ground and sense of species superiority to Grace??? Nah, it looks beautiful, definitely.

Then Grace says "show me" and Rocky is stuck now, he's committed. So he just bucks up and goes all-in. It's not like he'll see the human after this is all done, he can pretend it's totally normal just this once.

Eventually before they reach Erid Rocky is gonna have to come clean, and Grace will laugh at him for an hour straight.

Adding this to my existing headcanon of "movie Rocky went a bit more insane from the isolation than book Rocky did."

I just think that Rocky is the most feral possessive bitch to ever exist when it comes to Grace. Sorry, if you don’t fix my space horse I’m NOT giving you any of the bacteria we almost died to get- oh hello mate Adrian, yes yes, Rocky DOES think this is perfectly rational, why do you ask? No, Rocky ran out of his Eridian Lexapro like four years ago this is now a hostage negotiation-

Ah, I’ve been reading fics about Grace on Erid and now I’m just imagining an autistic person living on an alien planet being the first of their species that have ever met these aliens and getting to express their emotions naturally for the first time and be understood. Person who happy stimms lows and violent expressing joy and being used to being met with concern but these aliens just believe them at their word when they say it’s their expression of joy. And as they live there for longer they start masking less and less and learn more about their natural emotional reactions and it’s just normal. To the aliens it’s just normal they don’t know that this person is weird and odd it’s just normal. They get to be accepted and understood without question or concern for once.

But the thing is the aliens think that all humans are like this one human, not knowing they found autistic georg. And why would the human correct them? They finally get to feel normal and not broken. Why s would they want to explain that actually they’re a “wierd little freak” and other humans don’t understand them or believe them about their own emotions? (Especially if the human doesn’t have a word for why they are the way that they are. If they think they’re the only one. If they think they’re a freak (derogatory))

So when the aliens meet the next humans they have some odd expectations and are confused. And the aliens bring this information to the human and think they’ll be excited. But the human is just horrified. Because now they have to communicate with humans again. That tiny sliver of normalcy is gone. Now they have to mask. But it’s been so long. It’s hard to wear the mask when you’ve shed it for so long. And it hurts so much worse when you’re used to being able to breathe freely.

Anyways, Bloody Mary AU?

Also just in general I love the idea of a whole culture (okay obviously not all of them but news spreads and information is shared you know?) meeting one specific really weird alien and assuming that the norms of that specific alien is the norms of the entire species (or at least the people who share a culture with the alien) but no they’re just a Freak.

#I’m totally not projecting #anyways I had to hour that into the world #god what if I wrote a story about it #vague Project Hail Mary #ahhhhhhh

£15/$20 is the price of a fucking DVD. That you keep. I'm not paying that much to rent fuck all, you must be joking.

Are all of you really too young to remember how it used to be before corporations stopped selling you things that became yours in perpetuity after you paid for them and started charging you rent for everything?
