Rocky bless your heart never change
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.
there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:
(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)
interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and
day one of having a fandom mutual: you like The Character too? no way!
day three hundred of having a fandom mutual: The Character probably gets vivisected recreationally. no doubt
You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs
I love the idea that Eridian’s have no concept of a “soul” the way humans do, and don’t really have a similar cultural touch point. Mostly bc I love the idea that Rocky learns the term “soulmate” and is now doing everything to reverse engineer how that can be possible between him and Grace.
Anyways after a cultural and theological rabbit hole that was less informative then he would like, Rocky finally asks Grace about it and Grace is like “well, Rock, I don’t think they exsist, it’s just a way for anxious humans to cope with the unknowns of life.” To which Rocky internally is like, Alright to I gotta figure out how to TWO people who don’t have souls can be soul mates. Got it
They get to Erid and Rocky is like “we are Soulmates and if you seperate us it would literally kill Grace. Who is already dying as we speak. And also it would be soooo culturally insensitive to all of humanity and thus the alien who helped save our stars. :/“
Some time later when Grace is more recovered he’s talking to some of his health team like “:) it’s nice you guys let me spend all this time with Rocky in my biodome despite all of the various things you likely need him for” the whole team is like”??? Uh yeah. Of course, We don’t want you to die???” and Grace is like haha what :) -> *medteam relays what Rocky said* -> “HE SAID WHAT.”
*turns my attention inwards* mmmmm. no *turns my attention back outwards* oh god
im SURE ppl have talked about this before but bloodymary (romantic or platonic) kinda has unimaginable sauce. they're both sacrificial lambs forced onto the altar torn between the desire to complete a mission they don't understand and a deep will to live. "this is bigger than me" /positive on one end and /negative on the other. the plot of iron lung is arguably close to what would've happened if grace didn't recover as much of his memory or didn't do it so quickly. a spiral of isolation-fueled terror knowing he should be doing something and it's something important that could either save or doom what remains of humanity but he doesn't know what. struggling to understand the intentions of the larger forces puppeteering him. a universe of dead stars. everyone he's ever met slowly dying out somewhere far away.
it's such a similar plot, but one is cosmic hopecore and the other is cosmic horror. there's an alien that quickly wins over grace's trust with extremely straightforward motivations and several aliens desperately scrambling to win simon's trust with extremely ambiguous motivations, one insisting it's trying to save humanity, the other saying it wants to save him, one tearing apart his body, the other shredding his mind. phm has a conflict broken down into excruciating scientific detail for the sake of clear understanding, and iron lung has a conflict that defies understanding to the point of all the character's total mental & physical collapse, to the point that even the audience can't say if they just watched a heroic sacrifice or a meaningless death that doomed everyone.
basically, it has the sauce that all the best crossovers do which is sheer tonal CLASH. put the tortured blorbo in a comfort situation and the happy friendship blorbo in a torture situation. i have more thoughts but no more words so uh. hell yeah

Movie grace is an average school teacher that happens to also be really smart. Book grace is a cannibal.
Book rocky is a normal guy. Movie rocky is a fucking madman with anger issues that stopped wearing clothes after his crew died and jumpscared an alien during first contact for no reason at all.
They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.
inspired by @cowardsexual 's post of a very sleepy phm science team and Grace's teacher instincts
"what is this BABY doing in space!???"
-Rocky, probably
boss left me in her hot car. yes she makes me sit in the backseat even with no one else in the car
Started writing a fic and accidentally wrote a love letter to Waffle House.
heres my contribution to bloodymary. high effort shitpost
for the good of all mankind
i changed my mind about my adrian design actually i think they should be like one of those glass frogs so grace gets to experience what every eridian does whenever he’s around
