I think the ways grace and rocky go about saying "hey don't be sad we are competent" are 1 really sweet and 2 sososo funny because grace, ever the teacher, will be like "hey don't be sad, I'm a science human, we'll figure it out together" and rocky will be like "oh my god stop crying you dumbass, I figured out how to solve the problem twenty minutes ago. lack of sleep is making you stupid. idiot." And they're both like, wow this is exactly what I needed to hear <3

The first day in Teacher Grace’s class is widely acknowledged amongst the Eridian children as one of the most exciting days of school, partly because what could be cooler than being taught by the alien schoolteacher who helped save your entire planet, but especially because the first day is the day when Teacher Grace helps everyone choose their human names.

The students all take turns telling him about themselves, what they like, what they want to do, who they are, and Grace in turn tells them about the names they make him think of, and the stories (fictional and real) that go with them, and the kids get to pick the ones they like.

It’s a beautiful exchange of cultures and personal experiences, and every class is unique (one class ends up entirely named after niche Star Trek characters after requests from multiple students result in “Earth culture storytime” devolving into Grace infodumping about his favorite show and everyone becomes obsessed). 

Grace is known for being a good deal more forgetful than the average Eridian (“leaky space brain for leaky space blob” Rocky once jokingly put it) but he has never once forgotten a student’s name.

to me, the cruelest thing that eva stratt does is not the kidnappig itself. it's that she tells grace that he does not even have a dog. dr ryland grace, a man who dedicated his life to the greater good, first to science and then to teaching, does indeed not have a dog. and because of this, he has to spend his last precious moments on his home planet with the full knowledge that while he might be smart enough to save the world, he is not loved enough by anyone on it to be worth saving

Grace: *Retroactively freaking out about Doing A Misogyny™*

Rocky: Me and the bestie!!! :)

[stereosonicanimatronic]

ryland grace is aroace. however he is also stratt’s dead wife, rocky’s red string of fate starcrossed soulmate, & intensely violently homosexual for mark “simon iron lung” iplier. all things are true & all things can coexist. peace & love on planet erid

my personal take on the matter

[cozy-stardust]

Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.

Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.

And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and grace's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.

"Rocky is a grown ass engineer and a 400 pound rock spider from space."

Yes, I hear you but I think Grace should be able to carry around his emotional support Eridian like a foul mouthed chihuahua in a sweater. I think they'd both enjoy this.

Adrian can carry them both around in an Erid IKEA tote later.

rocky and adrian built grace a home ….they created a foggy beach and tried SO hard to get the water temperature and the texture of the sand right. they found a way to feed him. they gave him a classroom so he can do what feeds his soul more than anything else. they literally love him to the point of invention and they didn’t even have to do any of it because they’re all he needs…..

Grockadrian but its rocky feeling something so familiar with Grace but being scared to do anything about it because they dont want to cheat on their partner, so "Friend Grace" becomes prominent as they try to seperate themselves from their feelings for Grace.

Until they land on Erid and Adrian sees Rocky for the first time in over 50 years and can see that Rocky's love for Grace isnt as platonic as Rocky would like to believe it is, and Adrian has to soothe Rocky's insecurities, promising that they arent a bad person for falling in love again, its okay, you didnt cheat.

Now Rocky feels like they have to choose between their mate that they thought they would never see again, and their codependent leaky human, except wait, why is Adrian purring when they look at Grace? Why is Adrian nudging me forward? Why is Adrian so determined to make this biodome not only habitable but comfortable? Why do they keep coming with me everyday to visit Grace? Why are they insisting we move our nest next to the biodo-

Oh. Oh.
