Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“WHY QUESTION???”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

“WHY QUESTION?????”

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.

Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

Hello!! I'm in the midst of reading your fic, The Long Journey Home, and I cannot express enough how AMAZING of a piece it is. Not only am I truly impressed by your HTML and CSS knowledge, but I want to commend you for your news articles and formatting! I studied journalism in uni and got my degree in that and media studies. Your replication of the AP style, titles, formatting--everything--it's SO PERFECT. My first thought is that you HAVE to be a journalist or something or you did VERY extensive and proficient research. I've been geeking out reading this piece of yours, and i can't wait to see where this goes! Currently on chapter 16! Thank you so much for sharing <3

Thank you!! I appreciate it a lot. 🙏 I work in media relations so while I never worked in journalism directly I read A Lot of news.

An issue I've actually run into is finding ways to parody a wider variety of outlets than just the ones I typically read which has been both fun and frying.

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

pure passion for this movie has overtaken me, so here is some art with an aggressive amount of symbolism, to mitski of course 🙂‍↕️

"Do you ever wonder if Grace's bike is still there at Grover Cleveland Middle School? Is it treated like a memorial for him after the annoucment of him volunteering to board the Hail Mary? Do you think his students visit it?"
