In the book there is a fun scene where the lights go out on the Hail Mary and Rocky doesn't realize and is astonished by how helpless Grace is.

I read about how for the movie they added actual circadian lights to the ship sets and I'd love to hear Grace explain that to Rocky. Like Rocky is trying to learn more about the incredibly long list of things humans require to function well (so he can correctly nag and monitor). Grace explains that the ship has lights that ramp up and dim on a schedule to mimic light on Earth and Rocky is mystified.

Grace: If it's too dark, it makes human brains sick. We get depressed and sleepy.

Rocky: What?? Everything make human brain sick!

Grace: Too much light? That makes human brain sick too. We have trouble sleeping and it makes us anxious.

Rocky: This sounds fake. This is joke, question?

Grace: The light level changing helps my brain know when it's time to sleep.

Rocky: Lights not work! Grace always ignore sleep time!

Eridians must be absolutely amazed that Grace can be woken up before his sleep cycle is finished. They take advantage of this and fit the biodome's bedroom with a remotely-triggered alarm system, so if something ever goes wrong with the life support systems while Grace is asleep, they can wake him up and have him move to safety. But, being that their sleep is more like a deep dormancy, they WAY overestimate what it takes to forcibly wake someone up.

The first time they have to use it (over something stupid like a tiny ammonia leak), Grace wakes up to like three different foghorns and a hundred camera flashes going off at once and is like HOLY GEEZ THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

prev these tags have me crying. this is absolutely what it's all about

[loving-jack-kelly]

learning about prehistory makes me really emotional. what do you mean there was a burial in prehistoric germany that was filled with so many items it's one of the richest prehistoric graves ever discovered. and what do you mean the woman buried there had beads and a headdress so well-worn you can identify which side of the beads rubbed against her skin or other clothing every day. and what the fuck do you mean another headdress was buried next to her 600 years later which could very much imply that this woman was held in such high regard that she was remembered for centuries. and now we might not know her name, and we might only be guessing at why she was important, and we might not even be right about her being a shaman or medicine woman and we might not even be right about the disability she would have had, caused by malformed vertabrae, giving her the ability to cause physical sensations and even halluciantions on command bc she could restrict blood flow to her brain by holding her head in specific positions (as attested by real currently living people with the same disability), being part of what made her special to the other people she lived with. and we might not know if the baby she was buried with was her great-great-grandson, buried with her years later, or a relative who died at the same time as her. but we know she existed. we know she was loved. we know she wore a headdress made of deer bones and goose feathers, and we know she was remembered. wow.

i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

What is forcefem question

[the-real-ryland-grace]

Just like how Grace tells Rocky he kinda looks like a spider, I wonder if there’s an organism on Erid that disturbingly looks humanoid. I saw a fanart somewhere of Rocky seeing spiders as uncanny valley, so Grace definitely feels the same when he sees a humanoid creature on Erid.

A lot of the organisms on Erid reside in the atmosphere, so just imagine Grace and Rocky are sitting on the beach one day and there’s a loud thunk on the biodime. Grace looks up and does the iconic high pitched gosling scream. It sort of resembles a human, but its limbs are all weird, its flesh is hard, and there are SO many things wrong about it. But it’s humanoid enough to give him nightmares for days.

“Rocky….what the FUDGE is THAT?!”

“Oh, is Erid flying organism! Name is ♫ ♪ ♫. Sort of looks like Grace, question?”

“Rock, I never want to see one of those again.”

“Oh. Understand.”
