I just realized that it's not quite true that Earth doesn't know what happened to Grace after he went back for Rocky.
I mean, NASA keeps tracks of what's happening on the other planets. They know which planets are infected with the astrophage.
So they probably know that Erid is NOT infected with it anymore, which means they can come to the conclusion that Grace must have suceeded in finding Rocky.
And now there's a wikipedia page for Rocky and Grace respectively that specifically describe them as the saviours of two planets.
it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"
i found this tarot card to be quite fitting for soph's arc, overall, and how much she's grown and changed and come into her own over the series; but i also found its reversed meaning (of unfulfillment, stagnation, a lack of proper completion) to be kind of apt for where she's at right now
originally, the four figures represent the four elements, and the harmony between them, but here i chose to do four different components of who sophie is – all kind of family members in their own way. one might say: bea, why is forkle not here, and to that, i'd respond, well, dear asker, i didn't want to draw his bitch ass
so these figures are amy (air sign, shown originally as a man), oralie (water sign, shown as an eagle), calla (earth sign, the bull), and prentice (fire sign, the lion)
the two wands held by the dancer here are meant as a homage to the magician (card ii) and since in the personal tarot canon i have in my own personal head, dex is the magician, i made these wands branches from sophie and dex's wanderling trees!
Without fail, every time a woman is talking about how she does not want to have children and never wants to be pregnant and how medical professionals, romantic interests and family members keep trying to bulldoze her decision and keep expecting her to change her mind because motherhood is something that is expected of all women and it is abhorrent to think a woman could not desire it, a random mother spawns in the comments to be like “Well, actually, you never know! I didn’t want children and then I got pregnant and I realized I love being a mama and I have five little babies now! Could happen to you! 🥰”
Sister, keep that to yourself or make your own goddamn post, you are ignoring that woman’s central concern and belittling her, you don’t even think you’re doing it. Formerly childfree women who ended up having children and loving it are like detransitioners in the sense that there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your mind about having children or realizing you were mistaken about your gender identity but immediately weaponizing your indecision to tell people that the barriers to healthcare and the violations of their bodily autonomy and the way society ignores that person’s wishes is actually okay because you were wrong. Some people do know themselves.
it also makes me doubt how happy they actually are with having the kids why do you feel the need to broadcast you've changed your mind and are happy now just be happy no need to be a missionary for making more babies those are not yours chill
