Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

i love seeing fan art of rocky swearing on the translator but let’s be real dr ryland grace, middle school teacher, would not translate any profanities into english swears. he told a kid no running he definitely wouldn’t be the cool teacher to throw swears around. rocky could be saying “fuck you dickhead” and the translator would put out “you’re a jerk” and rocky can’t even do anything about it except emphasize how much of a jerk grace is for limiting his colorful vocabulary to jerk

"stop saying rocky is grace's dog, Grace is obviously rocky's dog" have you considered they're friends. have you considered that maybe they view each other as brilliant and brave and saviours of each others worlds and as their best friend? have you considered that they are friends who respect one another?

I'm just thinking about how Grace gave Rocky his own laptop and how Rocky probably has no idea how to spell in English... Let alone see the keys on the keyboard so now Grace has to teach Rocky the English grammar system, and how to type.

Rocky: "Is dumb statement! Why silent letters a thing!"

Grace: "I don't know!! Trust me I think it's dumb too!"

Rocky: "Dumb, dumb, dumb, human language inefficient statement."

Grace pinches his nose, this was going to be a long lesson...

A few days later.

Grace: "So back on earth- there are some people who were born without the ability to see."

Rocky: "ohhh like Rocky, no eyes, see with sound, excitement!"

Grace: "Not exactly... They still have their eyes, but they don't work. And they can't see with sound like you Rock. So humans developed ways for them to still function even without the ability."

Grace procured a chart he made last night. Rocky pointed his Crystal-gun-thing at the screen to get a better look.

Grace: "See this..." He pointed to the letters on screen "This is the basic human alphabet." Then he pointed to another section made of dots. "And these are what we humans call braille. It's a different language humans made to help other humans that aren't able to see, and give them the ability to read."

Rocky: "Fascinating... Rocky want to learn statement!"

Grace: "Yeah I thought that this version of our alphabet would be more useful than what I was teaching you earlier. And maybe this way it will help you type on the keyboard easier."

Rocky trilled in excitement.

Rocky: "Yes, yes, yes, this version sound better. Rocky will learn."

i love grace-rocky-adrian poly, don't get me wrong, but i don't think it should be instant. i think it should be hard, i think they should struggle, i think it should take work.

rocky was gone for about a fourth of the time he and adrian were a couple. what's it like to wait 50 years for your mate, not knowing if they're alive? was adrian close to the families of the other crew? was there any kind of support group? was adrian the last one holding out hope for a return?

and then what's it like to wait so long, with everyone thinking they're in denial, only for their mate to beat the odds and come home? except he's deeply traumatized and single-mindedly focused on the alien he brought with him.

rocky a frantic, rushing mess between mission debriefings and worrying about grace. how long is it even before rocky and adrian get to talk? really talk. does adrian attend rocky's thrum and hear everything that happened and want to talk to him, connect, reach out, but rocky can't leave grace alone for longer than he absolutely has to. apologizes, promises they will, but he doesn't stop moving towards the space elevator.

adrian understands what's going on. logically they do, but that's all it is. logic, rationality, information, empathy. but that doesn't change the way they felt all this time, the way they feel now. it doesn't bond them to grace.

but adrian does feels gratitude towards grace! they're bursting with relief and joy and endless thanks for him both solving the astrophage problem and bringing their love home to them. that he sacrificed his life and risked the certainty of his own planet's salvation to do so.

but also, in doing so, grace has stolen rocky from them.

adrian is kind to grace, respectful towards grace, works on grace's biodome as hard and as seriously as they can. but that doesn't mean they love grace. and even if they do, that doesn't erase the pain.

and what can adrian even do with this pain? what are the social implications? eridians mate for life, so adrian has to find a way to make this work. can adrian talk to others about it, or do they fear appearing ungrateful? their mate was the only one to survive, why do they complain?

will the other crew's family still accept them into their support circle, or does rocky's survival change things? will adrian be asked to leave because their presence is a painful reminder? because adrian is talking about something else now?

do people hate adrian because rocky couldn't fix it, couldn't save them? do people take their suffering out on adrian because they can't take it out on the savior? does adrian become a buffer between rocky and the real world's criticisms and critical questionings and doubts?

what's it like to be the beloved mate of erid's savior? what social pressure are they put under? what's it like for your species to see your relationship as a poetic love story? what's it like for the planet that saved your people to be named after you?

what's it like to be constantly told how lucky you are, even when your mate never leaves someone else's side? do people see rocky and grace together and feel sorry for adrian? are people angry at rocky on their behalf? angry at grace?

how long does adrian have to grin and bear it?

how much longer before adrian's no longer alone?
