ohhh my god.

[assiraphales]

one of the funniest bits in the nice guys is that ryan gosling's character cut up all of his clothes to accommodate his cast instead of, you know. wearing shirts/jackets that weren't skin tight. or maybe t shirts

[assiraphales]

the end of project hail mary is such a ‘just this once, everyone lives’ moment bc the safety of earth and erid relied solely on grace and rocky meeting. earth would have never retrieved the taumoeba if rocky has not used his engineering skills and xenonite to retrieve it, nor would erid if grace had not made the scientific breakthrough and turned back for rocky. put other people (and sentient rocks) in their place, who may have allied but not had such a poignant connection, and the equation is missing a crucial component. everything truly did depend on them loving each other

[assiraphales]

[assiraphales]

rocky always yells “enrichment for grace! enrichment for grace!” when he has a new invention to make the humans time more interesting on erid. grace, while appreciative, replies ‘I know I’m in a zoo enclosure but could we maybe not call it that? I feel like a bear getting thrown a pumpkin covered in peanut butter.’ rocky simply gives him a thumb, not wanting to explain that a significant amount of the population sees grace as the celebrity savior scientist who rocky keeps as a controversially young trophy wife and publicly lavishes in gifts

[hawke-gosling]

He's my idiot tho

[assiraphales]

I love the headcanons that are like ‘the eridians already figured out how to replicate earth’s atmosphere, temperature, food, light, the ocean for the human. ofc they found a way to extend grace’s life expectancy’ bc talk about my exact brand of cope. but I also think another motivating factor could have been no one wanting to deal w 400 years of rocky in a bad mood

[assiraphales]

rocky, one of the most popular celebrities on the planet, who basically implied ‘figure out how to save my human or ELSE’: just checking in :)

the scientists:

[assiraphales]

they finally figure out how to do the procedure and this is rocky as grace is being put under:

[assiraphales]

“rocky HATE mark” is so funny bc it’s over something relatively minor but also u know that sentient rock holds a grudge. so taking inspo from grace naming a planet after adrian, rocky names a field of space debris after mark & gleefully opts to blow the bigger pieces up. grace sits there in silence bc ‘oh shit how am I gonna tell him about getting exiled from academia or god forbid eva”

[assiraphales]

it’s def worse on erid bc there rocky can actually do something about it if someone upsets grace. mistranslation or not you better watch OUT bc here comes rocky

[assiraphales]

despite knowing for a fact that project hail mary was a success imagine the absolute rollercoaster of emotions eva stratt would have gone through. “I am the only one alive on this ship” holy shit bro is NOT an astronaut……….he doesn’t know how to fly that thing……….. “this is rocky and he lives w me now!” first contact with a sentient alien has been made by a middle school teacher. *rocky makes a pop culture reference* ok so in between the fate of their planets resting on their shoulders they’d been having moving nights. “rocky’s ship is made of xenonite” ahhhhhh— “I’m turning around” awhhhh

[assiraphales]

it’s kinda funny bc the videos of grace hanging out w rocky is the happiest eva stratt had ever seen him. like imagine guilts been haunting you and the laws been hunting you and for decades you have no idea if it’s been all for nothing and then….. first clip you see is the scientist and a sentient rock going “this is me and my BOI ✌️”

[assiraphales]

i really do love that, whether by grace's design or not, the first video eva watched is him introducing his bff and the alien making an earth pop culture reference. aka in between solving the whole "our stars are being eaten by astrophage" problem they've clearly been having movies nights -- something that eva is delighted by

[avoid-avoidance]

I imagine Stratt is delighted about this for multiple reasons:

The simplest: Grace is clearly doing at least okay, and even if he has no human company out there, he isn't completely alone with just the spaceship computer to talk to;

A friendly alien rock spider casually referencing a human movie is kind of objectively delightful, really;

Stratt's whole deal is that she loves humanity and wants humanity to continue existing as long as possible; this video is proof that not only have humans reached out their hands to the stars -- they left their fingerprints on those stars in doing so;

What was that again, copyright lawyers??? You simply don't think that the comfort and happiness of three heroes who chose to die for all of humanity are a good enough reason to gift them with pirated copyrighted materials??? Well, how about the fact that said copyrighted materials ending up playing a VITAL role in diplomatic relations with another intelligent civilization, which in turn DIRECTLY led to the salvation of all humanity??? What do you think of THAT, hmmm???

Random thought but would Grace need a dentist on Erid? He doesn't need one to stay alive, but do you think Rocky would be looking through his Portable Earth Thinking Machine and realize Grace hasn't been brushing his teeth.

"How long since last brush question?"

"What, brush what?"

"Your teeth. How long since last brush question?"

"Uhhhh, I ran out of toothpaste a while ago. Didn't think it was important."

"Grace not practicing hygiene question?! Grace lose teeth question?"

"Not yet. Should probably figure it out."

"Rocky will try and fix."

[the-dracologist]

Ever think about how, with the average clutch size for Eridians being about 5 eggs, Rocky is almost certainly not an only child? Also, the other 22 crew members would have had siblings too. Do you think any of the crew members were clutchmates with each other? Were any of Rocky's clutchmates among the crew? Much to consider!
