Image if Grace did the "OKAY MY HAND IS UP🙋🏼"

But to the room full of world leaders bombarding him with Astorphage breeding questions when he arrived at the Vat. Like he JUST got there and he's dizzy and sick and they were all shouting and muscle memory just kicked in, you gotta believe him, he wasn't even thinking.

They'd all be so shocked it would work though.

He'd have .001 second to panic, like did he really just do that, and then its either control or loose control of the room just like any middle school class.

He'd still have his hand up like "Okay. Who wants to go first."

And Eva would watch like three people actually, legitimately, raise their hands and wait to be called.

She'd be like I shoulda kidnapped this guy sooner lmao what

i love eva stratt so much. she's cold and distant, but she cares just. so much. she cares about the earth, she cares about grace. she just wants something to protect, even if she's not outwardly "nurturing," especially in the way that is usually portrayed by most female characters in a high positions of power. she doesn't feel the need to express it or necessarily reassure it, that doesn't matter, she knows that won't change anything. she just acts. to her, emotions and intentions won't change anything, but actions always will. i just like how the person who loves the earth so much and will do anything to protect it is one of the most emotionally unavailable characters i've ever come across. and it makes complete sense why. AND!!! the fact that she is a WOMAN, when women are expected to be maternal figures to every single thing they come across, and eva is just the complete opposite of that, and yet her compassion for the world is never compromised. she loves, but in a very, very different way than how she is expected to love (just like grace, especially given the whole aroace argument). just, what an extremely complex and round character, she's everything to me.

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.

I wonder what meaning Grace's name holds when spoken in Eridian. Like, I keep thinking about when they first introduce themselves, whilst still working on developing the translator. Rocky's name, as long and drawn out as it is, almost certainly cannot be directly translated to 'Rocky', because it exists in a completely different cultural and linguistic context. As Grace says when they first meet, he calls him Rocky because, well, he looks like a rock, and Grace doesn't yet have any additional context for what the sounds that make up Rocky's Eridian name might actually mean, and how or if they could even be directly translated into English. I wonder then, what Rocky called grace in Eridian, when he had yet to gain any additional context for what the sounds that make up his name mean. If Rocky is called Rocky because he looks like a rock, did Rocky follow the same logic when naming Grace in Eridian? What does Grace look like comparatively that Rocky could name him after? Did he just come up with something random on the spot? I'd love to know if Grace's Eridian name could be directly translated and what meaning it might hold on Erid.
