Genuinely stupid how you can be really excited about something and want to do/watch/read/try it and just like. Put it off. For no discernable goddamn reason.

"I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."

thinking about Hatchling discovering Grace & Rocky's story hundreds of thousands of years after it happened when there are no more Eridians or humans to tell it :')

some thoughts and ideas on mobility aids (and stuff) for grace :-)

[deervsheadlights]

i fully believe grace has a drivers license but is scared of driving.

the teachers salary is ONE reason he doesnt have a car, sure, but even if he had the money, he would chicken out and keep riding the bike and citing traffic & exercise as reasons. there is one time he and some other teachers are chaperoning a field trip or w/e and he has to drive a van full of kids from point A to point B for some reason. it wasnt planned and he almost has a panic attack because he hasnt sat in the drivers seat for like a decade, but when they asked whether he had a drivers license he said yes because its true. but also he probably shouldnt have one. someone should probably take it away.

everything turned out fine and nobody was injured. except the kids could totally tell he was freaking out the entire time and ALSO, two of them heard him hyping himself up in the bathroom right until they were meant to leave. needless to say, they are merciless about it (because they know hes cool and will go with the bit). none of them will ever let him forget "youre a regular guy you can drive a car. youre a regular guy you know how to navigate traffic. youre a regular guy you can merge lanes". some particularly funny kid gets him one of those "please be patient - student driver" bumper stickers for his birthday. and whoever is running the schools most popular meme account is photoshopping him into the background of fast & furious scenes saying stuff like "guys cant we just bike there?" and "uh the engine is making this weird humming noise are we sure this is normal?" and "mr toretto i think we should stay at least 5mph under the speed limit just to be safe"

if they hadnt shot him into space, he wouldve gotten his license revoked at 46 on some technicality and his students would have congratulated him on the successful transition (into being the non-license holder he always was at heart). maybe its some underlying diagnosis (adhd), maybe his spacial thinking isnt that great, maybe he just sucks ass at operating a motorized vehicle. AND some part of him probably believes any machinery with more than 2 horse power is only meant to be operated by trained professionals, like trains and planes and cranes and forklifts. its kind of insane that they let just let anyone (including him) get their hands on a go-fast explody-machine with minimal supervision!

because grace learns eridian from rocky do you think he speaks to people on erid with his little piano/organ/instrument setup and theyre like lol wow. you've got a REALLY strong accent. and grace is like well im an alien, thats to be expected, right? and theyre like no that's not what we mean. it's just... you sound just like rocky :,) it's very cute actually

of course grace is delighted! but it'd be very funny if rocky had just. a massively specific regional accent. and now grace has it too. all the eridians from that area are like OMG THE ALIEN IS ONE OF US - we're adopting it. that's an honorary member of the clan. listen to it. it might as well have grown up here.

...actually i'm gonna do it. fuck it. rocky is space scottish. to me. he's mine now, i'm taking him out to look at the kelpies and the falkirk wheel and climb up ben ledi. he can go fishing in a loch. and now grace's eridian accent is their equivalent of scots. he says stuff to adrian's family (posh motherfuckers) and theyre like 'i think it's trying to communicate with us..?' meanwhile adrian, well used to rocky's accent by now, is like 'it's giving you a compliment. be nice to my spouse's alien, please.'

(adrian is like the dad who doesn't want a cat. theyre like this is my spouse rocky and rocky's... alien friend.. and then like two months later rocky comes in and adrian is letting grace sleep on top of them. he was cold, I couldn't just let him shiver, and rockys like no no beloved you're so right, and secretly rubbing his claws together like yesss just let it happen, grace will win all of erid over at this rate..)

Crack concept where, for some ungodly reason, the minds of the Project Hail Mary team (scientists, astronauts, and Carl) get sent back in time. The sending happens after the beetles have been launched but before they have been received by earth. The waking-up-into-their-past-selves happens the day before Dr. Stratt first approaches Dr. Grace.

None of them know the others have been sent back.

Dr. Stratt, who has been in emotional hell for over a decade due to being forced to betray the closest thing she has to a friend, decides to never shadow Dr. Grace's doorstep. He doesn't need to be involved this time. She has the knowledge and ability to save the world and keep him safe, now.

She gets the original team minus Grace back together. No one figures out anyone else is a time traveler because they are all hard believers in the butterfly effect and believe themselves to be causing all changes. (Sometimes being very smart circles right back around to being very stupid.)

No one else mentions bringing Dr. Grace on, because they all low-key suspect what happened last time and want to keep their friend (...he makes friends SO easily) safe.

This silence lasts until Grace breaks down their super classified front door being like "SEND ME TO SPACE NOW I SWEAR TO GOD" and everyone is like "I CAN VOUCH FOR HIM NO ONE KILL HIM" and "DO NOT SEND HIM TO SPACE" and "WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM."

And Dr. Stratt is like "I am so, deeply sorry for-"

And Dr. Grace is like "Put me back up there right the fudge now!"

And then a day later they get a scary transmission from space saying "Give us Ryland Grace and we'll return your sun to full luminescence."

And Grace's response is. :D
