I’m obsessed with this video

idk about y'all but once it became clear that nanna naja liked it just fine whether it knew it or not, i began to assume the reason she was "glaring" all the time is because murderbot is far less familiar with reading expressions of the elderly (not "attractive" enough to be cast in serials, at least not the unrealistic adventure kind that murderbot prefers, you see)

all its efforts to grow accustomed to reading human emotion foiled by a respectable collection of a lifetime of wrinkles. naja's expression markers that it's frantically feeding into its emotional analysis function to figure out what it did wrong this time are all just long-engraved

"glaring" frown lines

"suspicious" crow's feet,

"disapproving" grooves framing her mouth

jowls adding more emphasis to her "frown"

i'd wager it'll need at least a couple more years to have its moment of clarity and suspect that the elderly display their emotions differently from all other humans and augmented humans... somehow. and another year after that to fully grasp the concept of wrinkles

projecting my problems onto Grace (staying up til 2am thinking about all the ways things can go wrong)

I spent almost an entire work shift drawing this tooth-rotting fluff

Okay this is just on another level. I'm not crying IT'S JUST RAINING. ON MY FACE.

Project Hail Mary spoilers ahoy

Thinking about Rocky and Grace getting to Erid.

The Hail Mary doesn”t have a radio any more powerful than needed to communicate with the EVA suit. Rocky could make one, but the planet they’re going to has fuckoff stupidly powerful radiation shielding, and even if they get a signal through, nobody’s listening. The Eridians are just kinda trying to survive and hoping that their interstellar ship will return with answers at some point.

Which means that they had extremely little warning when the Hail Mary showed up.

The Guy Watching Out For The Safety Of The Space Elevators hears a blip on their scanning equipment. It’s something big. “Oh,” they think, “joy! The ship is back!” Except it’s not the ship; it’s something very, very weird. Largely aluminium, and hollow.

Imagine everyone freaking out for a minute (IS THAT SOME KIND OF WEIRD ASTEROID THAT WILL HIT THE PLANET???), then realising it’s a FUCKING ALIEN SPACESHIP and freaking out even more. Out comes some like, kludged-together lander module made of xenonite with alien spin drives attached, and out walks the fucking engineer of the tau ceti project all like “so we just nipped by Planet 3 and saved our species, also, I found intelligent aliens. I brought my alien buddy home with me, he played a key role in saving us and can’t go home but he’s extremely fragile and we need to work fast to keep him alive. Let me explain his fucking weird biology real quick, we can get the details later from the massive repository of alien science data I also have now.”

That’s a lot to deal with all at once out of absolutely nowhere is all I’m saying.

shoutout to adrian for the great view

Grace gets a kidney stone at some point while living on Erid and Rocky who hears it forming inside of him thinks Grace is pregnant so he starts interrogating the biodome team like

[spielzeugkaiser]

To be fair, Rocky also needed some time to correctly interpret Graces needs- (I also did Grace comforting Rocky here)

"You sleep I watch"

pose based on this photo

bonus no xeonite suite:

Edit: i orignally just had this in my orignal tags. But its funny enough i want it on the post:

grace: im gonna sleep on the beach

rocky: i made you a whole ass house with doors and beds and everything. and you want to sleep on the ground

grace: on the beach. :) yeah

rocky: *sigh of fond exasperation* fine you weirdo

grace: besides this whole place is my house really. I can do what i want :3

rocky: yeah sure whatever you say. but when you're sore in the morning don't expect me to feel sorry for you

[scarlct-vvitch]

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)

rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

[assiraphales]

“grace is rocky and adrian’s pet” grace is the alien celebrity savior casually teaching physics to seventh graders that the eridians gossip about being rocky’s controversially young partner. there’s even an opera about them

[assiraphales]

grace: sometimes I wonder if you guys see me as a zoo animal in a enclosure performing little tricks

rocky, thinking of the rumors about the human being his spoiled babygirl lavished in gifts (including the PERFECT water temperature down to the decimal): ……….yes, question?

“bits to use in everyday conversations”

you cant just say that man

[stiffyck]

soulmates tied together with a red string of fate thats killing their stars is a pretty terrifying concept.

[stiffyck]

Do you think he had a breakdown at some point about the hugs. Rocky can’t actually hug him back. Rocky can’t hold him or touch him without hurting him. Because I’m now thinking about it. I'm thinking about him hugging rocky before just slowly tearing up and crying because he’s just… he’s not hugging rocky, he can’t feel rocky, he can't wrap his arms around his carapace and rocky can’t wrap his arms around him.

dyou think grace eventually told rocky what a restaurant is and rocky proceeded to fully avoid grace for a few days

prev tags omg yes. yes
