Curious pebble (3/?)

Part 1 / Part 2

A massive shoutout to @thereal-sillyguy for making everyone's favorite pebble into a gif! I very literally couldn't have done it without them!

Eva Stratt, The Regressor.

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

Imagine like one day you’re just chilling with Rocky and you say something out loud like “wow Grace looks hot” like it just happens one of those word vomit moments and the absolute PANIC Rocky would go into like

“What wrong with Grace internal temperature, question?”

“Grace sick, question?”

“GRACE DYING, QUESTION?”

So you have to explain what you actually meant and Rocky’s all like “Eridian word for that is ♩♩♬.”

You put it into the computer with a smile and a nod and a second later—-

“Rocky think Adrian hot.”

[astrugglingacademic]

I think one of the funniest things that book Ryland Grace does is continue to do excessive centrifugal force stuff with the ship after it almost killed him and he's just like "It's okay Rocky I'll just pass out. If anything else happens, you got this." And Rocky is never once a fan of that plan.

i like how we've all started collectively imagining adrian as Fucking Massive and beautiful. there is no proof for this and arguably the text REALLY does not support it but god. is it good. rockys mate is 7 feet tall and is the brightest turquoise ever and is Beautiful. rockys mate bad as hell, statement.

but also. adrian is fucking Smart, near definitely also an engineer. ive seen some people depict them as like "autistic nerd and model wife" and like. ignoring the unnecessary gendering of adrian and therefore misogyny, no. they are both smart as fuck. adrian is working on the biodome. on stuff that rocky clearly doesnt know much abt bc he says "ill have to ask them."

genuinely 100% believe they met in the eridian version of college. can you imagine. two engineers at the top of their classes fighting for the top and suddenly adrian is just like. Oh No. i HAVE to get that autistic bitch. adrian the hot and intelligent perfect student that everyone at that college wants suddenly rejecting every proposal and not going on dates and just.. following around their academic rival. purring like a cat. rocky the intelligent but twinky and autistic af student just being like. adrian i LOVE being your friend. :). eventually they figure it out.

also, some canon backing to the got together in college idea: rocky is about 291; him and adrian have been together for 186 years, that means they got together when rocky was either 105 or 65, depending on if you count the 40 years rocky spent in space (i dont; given the "its not enough" line, implying rocky only counted the years they were physically together.) considering graces students are 30 and he taught middleschool (12) back home, id say 30 is around half way to maturity. so reaching maturity is around 45-60.

so if they got together when rocky was 65 this is like meeting your soulmate freshman year of college. and for adrian, losing them for what might be forever when you turn 30.

Apparently Eva Stratt at the end of the movie on the ship had a prison tattoo on her neck that meant something along the lines of "life without parole." So, parallel to Grace and Rocky's adventure, there was a whole subplot where Eva Stratt

- Was eventually trialed by governments of the world as a scapegoat and sent to prison

- She somehow BROKE out of said prison and currently commandeers a rogue paramilitary faction of Project Hail Mary loyalists who believe in her over world governments, who presumably are still hunting her down

- She currently is on the run and staying mobile on an ice breaker ship like some kind of james bond villain base (but you know, good) while STILL working on project hail mary the whole time

- Her rogue loyalist faction controlled enough resources they could go to space and collect the beetles Grace had sent. Alternatively, it was the world government that collected the beetles, and Stratt had a whole ass heist movie to steal them, which is why she had the little xenonite figure at the end of the movie. Either ways she was running circles around them.

Absolutely insane. Never piss off a history major

This moment is so dear to me I want to cry. First of, Grace is so gentle with him? Something something kindness literally saves the world (two worlds, in this case). Also, you just KNOW that Grace is that teacher in whose classroom the kids go to cry when they feel like the whole world has turned against them.

But secondly, "I'm a science human"! Because yeah. None of them is the other's weird alien dog. None of them is the "smart one" (or rather, they both are). They can't do this without each other. They complement each other. They need each other to succeed, there's no other way. That's the whole point! Cooperation! Connection! Working together!

Hope core at its finest.

I love them, your honor.

grace and rocky get to erid and both of them are hitting every eridian squarely in the uncanny valley because they've both absorbed so much of each other that they feel both too eridian and not eridian enogh. rocky faces in the direction he's paying attention to and it feels like he's trying to hide something, the way he and only he of the eridians seems to always be showing the same face of his carapace when he speaks to somebody. he speaks in metaphors that only make sense to somebody who understands light-based vision. his intonations are funny, rising on questions when they otherwise wouldn't, falling flat, his sarcasm goes to space dry and restrained and comes back with such force it almost feels like he's lying instead of joking sometimes.

and grace who is so alien, but reflects eridian mannerisms that they've never considered strange before but coming from a creature so soft and strange, it just doesn't feel right. grace who stomps his foot twice when he asks a question, and it rings out flat and dull instead of the strong, sharp sound of an eridian hand on the ground. grace whose voice is so alien, so one-note, so full of articulations that are sharp and round and everywhere in between, but who echoes the melodies of eridian poetry and music, sometimes on accident but sometimes perfectly in time with what rocky translates him as saying, and later, perfectly in time with his keyboard.

rocky and grace who mirror each other more similarly than they mirror their own cultures. who speak to each other in a strange pidgin eridian that nobody else quite understands fluently. who share jokes from movie and tv shows from earth filtered through eridian folktales, plays, and musicals until they only make sense to the two people who know both cultures. they're not strange to each other, but it puts other eridians on edge. even adrian, at first. they've changed each other, you see.
