The thing is Grace absolutely cannot go back to earth under any circumstances because he did NOT have time to edit the video content on the beetles all his video diaries are on there and he absolutely cannot look an earth delegation in the eye knowing most of them have seen the fuckoff stupid shit hes done on those logs
a new reality tv show called So you think you can write Doctor Who
twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode
judged by solely by christopher eccleston
this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner
Grace knows that Rocky has PTSD after the, well, everything. They've been stuck together for four years. He knows.
He understands.
They arrive to Erid, and one of the first things Grace does is playing for Adrian a little speech he made in Eridian using his recordings of Rocky's voice. And it's just... instructions. Mostly.
"He has a lot of anxiety about people's health and will probably freak out about yours at some point, don't dismiss it and let him see that you are okay."
"He is terrified of being alone, please make sure someone is physically close to him at all times."
"He is scared of falling asleep and will delay it as long as he can, you need to pay attention to his sleep cycle or he'll be hurting himself."
"He downplays everything bad that is happening to him, mental and physical, please keep an eye on him or he'll be ignoring his health completely."
"He never gave up, but I might die very soon and I'm not sure how he will react to it. Please be with him, even when it's not easy. He loves you. He wanted to return to you so badly. Even though he probably has changed, this is still him. Please keep loving him. He needs it more than ever. He'll need it when I am gone."
...Adrian is very annoyed because a) the fuck do you mean by implying that I'll leave him, b) the fuck do you mean by implying you know him better than I do (Adrian does have to begrudgingly accept this one later: Grace is objectively more familiar with Rocky's trauma responses), and c) the fuck do you mean you're gonna die no one's letting you die shut up and get into the lab we have science to do. They become friends fast, bonding over worrying about Rocky together.
(Rocky is not sure he likes it, but has to admit he can finally feel safe with the both of them by his side.)
you know what's peak comedy? the human brain's pattern-seeking leading to random ass scares and spooks.
there Rocky is, doing his thing, and so is Grace, busy busy busy. Grace sits back and stretches, a bit distracted as he usually is, gets up and then he turns and SPOOKS SO BADLY!! WHAT WHAT IS IT??? Rocky hears nothing what's going on???
"Oh nothing, I thought I saw someone but, it's just a shadow."
and Rocky doesn't get it, at. all. Grace says this or that thing kind of looks like a person, or that he thought the hanging clothes was someone, but Rocky can't understand for the life of him. shadows have no shape, no depth, that jacket is inert, has no breathing or heartbeat.
that's when Grace realizes that to Rocky, he's basically a space horse spooking at plastic bags and trash cans.
free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence
i dont think shipping is antithetical to good media analysis but even in situations when the romantic reading absolutely makes a story worse sometimes you have to go well. we're playing with toys. yes i know this character would not get into a conventional romantic relationship and if they did itd ruin a lot of the themes of the story but fortunately the original story still exists and i have no control over it. im playing in the space and nobody can stop me.

i feel like simon wouldn't be weirded out by the "watching you sleep" thing, he was a prisoner for at least a while. and im sure there wasn't much room on Eden for privacy. on the same hand, why would anyone have a "sleepover" when they're all constantly having a sleepover? ergo: what the fuck is a sleepover

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.
I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.
It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.
Amateur actor Danny: Hello?
Tim: Yes?
Danny: Is this the location for the casting audition of My Brother's Wedding?
Tim, who was left alone in a newly purchased Wayne Studio and bored: Yes. Yes, it is. Why don't you take a seat in the lobby, and I'll call you in when I'm ready.
Danny: Oh okay.
Tim: It will just be a minute.
Danny: Alright.
Tim is speed-reading the script: Trash. Horrible. The main character is in love with his brother's bride and tries to steal her the entire wedding planning up to the actual wedding. Blah. At least the Best Man knows what he's planning and stops his plans every time- Oh! Plot twist: He ends up with the best man!?? Nice.
Tim opening the door: You can come in.
Danny: Is there a reason why the building is dark like this?
Tim: We forgot to pay the electricity bill. Now, can I have your name and the role you're auditioning for?
Danny: I'm Danny Fenton. I'm interested in Eric. I'll be doing scene seven.
Tim: The Best Man. Good choice. You may begin.
Danny: "You think I didn't notice?! The way you look at her.... She's going to marry your brother!"
Tim: Stop. I've seen enough.
Danny: Oh- I-
Tim: You got the part.
Danny: Really!? Oh my gosh thank you!
Tim: You're welcome. I'll send you details for the script reading and filming. The email on your resume good?
Danny: Yes! Yes, it's good. I'll be waiting. Thank you!
Tim: of course. Okay take care. Bye-bye now. *watches Danny leave then yanks out his phone* Hey Bruce can you buy me a moive? I lied about being someone on staff of My Brother's Wedding and I sort of promised the second lead to some random guy.
Bruce: Why? There was literally no reason for you to do that.
Tim: I have severe mental problems.
Bruce sighs: Alright. I'll pull some strings and get you that moive.
Tim: I knew you loved me the most.
Bruce: You need to stop lying Tim.

What if human astronauts visit Erid one day and are doing diplomatic things and whatnot and they learn Ryland Grace is sstill alive and is in a terrarium. One of the astronauts jokingly says “you’re not experimenting on him are you” and the Eridians freeze cause yeah, they totally are. They experiment on him all the time. They’re experimenting on him right now in fact. They read about deep sea diving and are now testing the effects of replacing certain gases in Graces atmosphere. Right now they’re testing helium.
They send someone to stop the experiment but Grace refuses cause they’re so far in already and well that would just ruin the data.
The new humans think this is hilarious and insist on joining the experiment as Grace excitedly yaps about all the cool stuff he’s learned about aliens but he’s still got that high pitched helium voice.
and if i made a spider-grace au. what then. what freaking then man
i feel like there's also two directions i can go with this. i can do "teacher grace gets roped into spiderman stuff because he taught miles morales and then we get awesome spidersquad stuff more in line with classic spidey shennanigains" or "grace gets bitten before the hail mary mission or is given the venom unknowingly as part of mission prep and has to deal with being newly superpowered (always muscles?) aboard the hail mary"
