Cannot emphasize how much info on the eridian sentence structure there is here

a weirdass knit sweater pattern that takes people weeks to realize is for Rocky

literally hundreds of pages of Grace just describing Eridian linguistic history which like honestly isn't even his field why should we even listen to this guy- (hes the only one to ever fucking met an intelligent alien Dave. we'll take him at his word)

Why the Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots Part 2: Biological Diversity all across the Petrova Line (subtitled "We haven't found them yet BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT FUDHING EXIST-")

what are essentially just those reaction videos "Alien watches Legally Blonde for the first time" "Alien gives thoughts on movie Cats (2019)" "You'll never believe what this Alien thinks of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox"

Grace's modified cardigan charts because someone was asking for them on his Ravelry and he never actually got around to posting them

(people have already fully recreated this cardigan just months after his launch. but they appreciate it)

very respective, kind eulogies for everyone who died in this mission (Grace AND Rocky's crew)

a lace shawl pattern inspired by the petrova line with a beaded fringe. knitters everywhere weep in despair because those instructions are gOD AWFUL, the man had 0 (zero) test knitters AND THERES NO PICTURES FUCK

Rocky make Grace cringe compilation statement

Grace's final goodbye to Earth ig

okay but imagine how inconvenient the streets of Central City, Amestris, is. Like yeah yeah country wide alchemy circle aside- can you IMAGINE the traffic? Like for the Love of Truth can we add another lane on this road?? The cars are backed up for miles! The urban planning board must be the sorriest people in the world. They got no clue what an alchemist circle looks like BUT the Fuhrer keeps showing up for an ominous visit every time they try to get a modicum of reasonable city layout. The zoning laws have got to be pure evil.

[okiedoketm]

how many accidents do you think there are on the Central Command Roundabout in an average day

[darkaviarymc]

The crest of blood in the center was carved over the course of multiple years via traffic fatalities

At that point who even needs a genocide.

Streamer Simon headcanons because I know you all love it (I do too)

- Simon 100% loves all the fanart of him and he will make streams where he reacts to it.

- before Grace shows his face on camera for the first time, people make fanart of what they think he looks like and him and Simon scroll looking through them all in bed and they panic at one fanart because holy shit that’s actually so close to what Grace looks like it’s a little scary. Grace assumes that it’s one of his students who created it (it wasn’t.)

- The day Grace finally reveals his face in camera in a video he does with Simon, that artist freaks the fuck out and goes viral because “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WAS CLOSE?!”

- Simon 1000% reads fanfiction about himself because in chat one day, someone asks him if he’s seen the fanfiction people have written about him and his husband. It started off as a joke to see if they got Grace accurate but some of the stuff he reads actually has him sobbing because it’s so sweet but also “yes that is 100% something you do, Star! Don’t deny it!”

- Simon jokes that his husband is taller than him one stream and his chat 100% types “isn’t everybody though?” Simon swears he can hear Grace laugh from the other room.

- Grace in this AU does have an account he uses to watch Simon stream on and when he comments in the chat (his username is The_Papa_Star_27) everyone goes crazy. Especially when Simon reads the flirty chats Grace sends his way and Simon goes absolutely feral.

- sometimes grace mods his streams for Simon when he’s not busy doing paperwork, if not, someone else does it.

- Simon one day whilst streaming, hears Grace coming into the house and says “chat hang on a second.” And he rushes to go see Grace who’s holding a makeup bag and Grace tells him shyly and a little nervously that he wanted to try some lipstick. He puts it on and Simon volunteers happily for him to test it out on him. Needless to say, Simon strolls back into his streaming room with lipstick marks all over his face with a dazed look and saying “my husband brought this lipstick. It works.”

- speaking of, in my mind Grace AND Simon test out makeup for fun because fuck gender ok?!

- Simon has been banned from rage games. Don’t ask.

According to Andy Weir's Eridian biology document, Eridians are better multitaskers than humans will ever be, but the trade off is they're physically incapable of locking in. SO funny to me. Yes this species can build a diorama while simultaneously blitzing through mathematics equations and also partaking in intense gossiping, but they cannot do any of those things for longer than, like, half an hour without going crazy. Species of supercomputers cursed with the TikTok attention span.

Rocky mocks Grace when he says that Rocky is distracting him by starting complex conversations while he's Trying To Do Science. "Human brain have to stop activity just because talking question? Useless! One track mind!"

Then Grace is on hour six of his "trying to recreate skittles" hyperfocus and Rocky is like What The Fuck. Statement.

Yeah human brains can only do a single very consuming task at a time but it can do it for a very long time. The one track in our one track minds spans multiple countries. Persistence predators, babey.

Strategy to avoid thinking about the fact that you're completely by yourself again for the first time in months and you have four years of this left to go: find a label maker

AKA I was watching King of the Hill and thought this frame from the episode Keeping Up With Our Joneses would fit Grace pretty well

Book Rocky: I make room now. Room and device keep me alive in you ship. Want to see human technology. Is allowed, question?

Movie Rocky: HELLO MY ALIEN BESTIE CAN WE BE ROOMMATES PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE WOW YOUR ROOM MESSY

coltland twins au where colt near solely refers to ryland as grace (started as a way to be annoying, turned into a habit) and it causes a huge misunderstanding on the set of a movie he's working. he rarely talks about ryland to other people, but when he does he somehow manages to avoid pronouns entirely and no one is able to get him to elaborate on whatever he just said about grace. he'll mention him in conversation, then quickly move on or straight up leave. for a while people are convinced grace is a dog ("yeah, grace loves going to the beach", "grace is a little awkward around people sometimes", "oh you have kids? thats cool. yknow grace is great with kids.") then it becomes clear that grace is a human person ("sorry i gotta take this call, its from grace"). so the theory switches to grace being his "girlfriend" who probably just has social anxiety. the cast & crew have 'evidence' to support this. colt says "love you" when he hangs up calls with 'her', he complained that grace loves someone named rocky more than him, most recently he was overheard asking grace what they were having for dinner that night. so everyone is fucking gobsmacked when one day colt says that grace is coming to set (mysterious gf reveal?!), only for an identical copy of colt to show up and introduce himself as ryland grace, colt's brother.

If Grace could not fully get out of teacher mode even after being in a coma for years (the Rocky my hand is up scene), I can not even think how much worse it would get after he actually takes up teaching again at Erid.

I can imagine Grace, still in that "has been teaching for five hours" haze, trying to have a conversation with Rocky like:

"That's a great answer, buddy, you have earned yourself a sticker... Oh shoot Rocky I'm so so..."

"Yes, yes, Grace very sorry for speaking to Rocky like child, Grace brain thinks Grace still in classroom, apology accepted now where is my sticker question"

Stratt: i can’t bare to watch these videos. he’s suffering because of me. i guess i’ll bring myself to open one. for the world.

Grace, like a youtuber: WHATSUP ME AND MY BOY ROCKY HERE FOR ANOTHER VIDEO; TODAY WE’RE TEACHING YOU HOW TO BREED TOAMOEBA! ROCKY, ANY WORDS?

Rocky: Will be lit, statement.

GRACE: HELL YEAHHH!

Stratt: . . .
