PHM : “I’m slowly forgetting your face”

[mteverestaaaaahh]

It was nice not having to cover them in blood and soot this time

[red-garden]

I found Bloody Mary to be a funny crackship at first but I’ll be real, the compulsive desire to ship Grace with someone is wearing on me. In that it directly conflicts with a big element of Grace’s character. He didn’t have traditional close relationships with other people, but he still loved humanity enough to save it. Like, was it not enough that he loved his students? Was it not enough that he loves science? Why are we extending his narrative purpose with sad wet markiplier. Stop that. He is long enough.

[zer0brainc3lls]

Rocky dumbing down his speech for Grace only reinforces the idea that Grace is a kid in the other Eridians eyes and multiple conversations are happening at once..

Eridian scientist: why did they send a baby to space?!

Rocky: Grace is not a baby. He’s a fully grown human and you all need to respect that-

At the same time another Eridian: the human is thirty!! Are you COMPLETELY sure he’s not a child? He’s barely coordinated!

Rocky: Grace is very sick!! Of course he’s not coordinated you fucking idiot-

ALSO at the same time: did you not think to teach him how to understand us properly?? Let alone communicate with us.

Rocky: he doesn’t have the vocal cords for most of our sounds!! And we were WORKING on him being able to understand proper speech but he’s delirious?! The fact he’s conscious is a miracle-

Grace who is visible stressed and half covering his ears but also trying to listen: what’s going on?? I can’t hear you guys it’s too loud- Rocky what’s going on?!

Rocky: apology apology other Eridians ask dumb dumb dumb questions, Rocky tell Grace later. Grace sleep now Rocky handle.

Grace just nods with bleary eyes and knocks out almost immediately, and the other Eridians are giving Rocky the equivalent of a raised eyebrow in unison.

I love how people imagine the first contact between Grace and Simon. Like if Simon directly attack him or is too afraid and hide in a corner. Imagine if Simon wakes up in the biodome attack Grace then realize he just attack some kind of angel and hide in a corner mumbling prayers.

and Grace is like oh wait he speaks Latin, I know Latin, bc of course he knows it at least some base like animals and plants but to do a conversation is an another level.

With middle school class memories he can finally say “ salve, tutus es” ( translation: hello you are safe)

they can vaguely communicate with basic words and stuff, Simon know way more Latin than him but they keep it really simple.

And after weeks even months of talking I want some day at a really random moment Simon to curse and Grace is like :

“ you motherfucker you can speak English”

Went to a wedding yesterday and had a blast but I couldn't help but think what would a wedding on Erid look like, or the equivalent of it? Imagine the eridians giving Grace and Simon their version of a wedding in their traditions that would be so cute

[hyperfixationhobo]

Simon who wakes up on Erid when he thought he’d die slowly healing while some rock spider thing is trying to set him up with another human that also lives on this planet.

“Grace very nice and smart statement. Help save stars and teaches the pebbles! Very leaky but loves hugs!”

“Does he know anything about trees?”

“…yes! Grace knows everything about trees and all plants! Will be happy to tell Simon!”

—————————————————————

“GRACE NEED TO READ AND LEARN ABOUT ALL PLANTS NOW COMMAND!”

“Cheese and crackers! Rocky you can’t sneak up on me like that and why-”

“NO TIME TO EXPLAIN GRACE READ ABOUT PLANTS TO MEET SIMON!”

“Simon? Whose-”

“READ. BOOKS. NOW.”

“Ok ok, geez.”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Overlooked humour mine in the popular genre of 'Grace confuses the Eridians about his age' fics is the fact that Rocky's whole "you're a leaky inefficient alien with a stupid brain go to bed so you're less of an idiot" shtick is gonna read way fucking differently if Grace's Eridian age is like six.

Like it's already kind of sus to the Eridians that Rocky is calling the saviour of their entire planet “stupid” about eight times per conversation, but hey, maybe aliens are informal like that. Maybe they're all super modest about their intelligence.

Then exhausted, weakened and malnourished Grace lets slip that he isn't even forty yet, and it takes him a few moments to figure out why everybody is suddenly (metaphorically, given the lack of faces) glaring at Rocky.

Someone rushes off with a comment about needing to contact Pebble Protective Services. Somebody else is suddenly between him and Rocky asking him kindly if Rocky often says mean things to him and has he ever hurt you, question?

Obviously Grace is going to correct them and let them know that he and Rocky are friends, this is all part of their dynamic, he's actually an adult, it's fine.

Eventually.

In the mean time… “oh yeah he says that stuff all the time. Especially when he's making me do chores like carry things for him, or fly the ship on my own, or do space walks. He says I keep almost killing us because I'm stupid and clumsy.”

Everyone pauses to echolocate at Rocky like he's a fucking monster. The official Eridian-Alien liason hums soothingly at Grace. “Grace doesn't deserve bad bad bad things to be said to him. Grace is very brave.”

“Thanks,” Grace says, deliberately trying to sound as pathetic as possible. He sniffs and pretends to wipe away a tear. “It's hard to remember that when Rocky keeps making fun of me whenever I cry.”

Everyone echolocates the Eridian equivalent of daggers at Rocky again. A few of them growl and shake their fists.

Rocky realises reluctantly that threatening to throttle Grace unless he stops talking, satisfying as it would be, probably isn't gonna help him beat the Pebble Abuse allegations any time soon.

eridians figured out how to make paint for the house for grace and so they made a whole bunch of different colors at grace's request because he wanted to learn to paint in his free time. first day moving paint into biodome, grace trips and falls, cap comes loose, every ounce of pink paint is now all over rocky's exosuit.

"rocky very mad, statement"

when grace was a kid he had a whole box of those weird little green army toy soldiers he was obsessed with. he tended to bring them everywhere and stick them in places that wouldnt have them otherwise (holes in walls, windowsills of restaurants, open lockers, etc). this persisted into adulthood where he'd do a little scavenger hunt thing around schools and kids would go crazy to find one. when stratt recruited him for project hail mary (read: kidnapped) she would consistently find little army soldiers anywhere grace was prior

on the hail mary he opens a box to find two hundred little plastic soldiers

and hes like

yAy

rocky is now very pissed that there are army soldiers EVERYWHERE on his side of the xenonite glass

stratt has spent more on starbucks coffees than she'd like to admit

carl likes mario games

ilyukhina loves the scorpions, they're her favorite band! especially wind of change!

rocky has a special interest in eridian cryptology, was overjoyed when he learned humans also have codes and ciphers

side note: one of my friends called yao li-jie "yaoi" when i first showed them the movie and i'm not quite sure how to feel about that

[vicartless]

That feeling when someone speaks in your mother tongue

[annabelle--cane]

im shipping YOU with eva stratt. you would fall on her like a ceiling fan that understands her needs

what a beautiful image. I've spent three minutes sitting here trying to come up with an appropriately jokey line about how I'd treat her in a relationship but all my ideas have been entirely too revealing of my actual personal proclivities, so for the sake of my privacy I want us all to imagine a punchline here together <3 .

[annabelle--cane]

the book's space kidnapping scene is so... the two flashbacks about it (the actual space kidnapping & the being in russian jail which is actually pretty nice) feel so intimate. like, when stratt is talking about how half the world dying is a conservative estimate, and she details how exactly people will suffer, and it just. really hammers home that helplessness that everyone feels, that she feels. and how like... disgusted she feels that he won't die for this.

it's just. it's the them scene of all time. she stands impassive and guilty and angry and powerless. and he's not even brave enough to run.

the complete contrast of their two emotional states in that prison scene is exactly what gets me, because, like. grace states directly that this is the most vulnerable he's ever seen her. she's fully dropping her leadermode mask and really trying to give him a complete honest explanation of why she's willing to do all of this. she won't say she's sorry, because she isn't, but she thinks she owes it to tell him why she's this desperate. and he's just point-blank unable to accept it or let the gesture connect with him in a real way, because of course he isn't, she has him locked in a prison cell as he waits to shipped off for execution ft. a mind wipe, he's not in any kind of frame of mind to be receptive to her vulnerability or contrition. he tunes her out and dismisses it as "if that makes you feel better to think." he habitually closes himself off from people to avoid heartbreak, he slipped up and accidentally let himself trust her, she betrayed that trust dramatically and floridly, so now he's icing himself over to try and prevent any more glancing blows. and, like. she had to have known that would be the case and he wouldn't really listen to her, and she still tries anyway and simply gets no resolution at all. #theirparallelmiseries

A tree nymph? That needs human blood to survive??? It's more likely than you think!

Part 1???

The premise for this idea is that Simon ends up in Grace's biodome, but specifically as the mutated tree (because magic) and he needs to consume human blood in order to transform back into a human. Cue the associated angst of needing human blood for survival.

Also the whole "when the last son of Eden joins the grove"

Congrats Simon you are now become the last tree of Eden, but this time you're not trapped in a blood ocean. yaysies

I might actually write a fic surrounding this - or continue drawing the comic, I'm not quite sure yet. But this seemed like a fun premise to play with.
