In retrospect, it's hilarious that Stratt made everybody on the vat speak English in deference to Grace being monolingual

Because with how quickly Grace was able to pick up Eridian, even with literally NOTHING about it being familiar the way a human language would be, they probably could have chosen Mandarin as the universal language on Stratt's Vat and he would have just. Learned it.

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh, you meant they literally did, ok

Grace wearing Eridian Jewelry 💫

(if you find inconsistencies in this, no you don't 🫵🏻)

first run of the xenonite suit (grace naively thought he was going to be able to play it cool)

[kentodreaming]

was reminded of this line recently & it cracked me up. rocky essentially saying "we HAVE no boundaries ❤" and grace waves his hand dismissively like Yeah yeahhhh

The crab is literally right there. The crab. I thought we liked this movie because of the endearing spider

[ashesoriley]

Grace and Rocky watch Venom and Rockys like I wish I could live in ur skin too

And Grace is like ...what?

And Rockya like don't worry about it

[grocki]

rocky having zero context for what orifices are sexy PLUS the ability to see orifices humans would never consider is so awesome. he’s so wet for grace’s eustachian tubes. he wants to pop grace’s tympanic membrane like a hymen

[mixterglacia]

Adrian:...Rocky, dear?

Rocky: *Perks up in the recovery wing.* Adrian!! My beautiful song, I missed you so much!

Adrian: I missed you as well. I can't wait for your quarantine period to be over. I do have a question though.

Rocky: Oh, of course! What is it?

Adrian: What is that shriveled husk with a heartbeat in the next chamber?

Rocky: This is Grace! Remember I told you about him over the radio?

Adrian:...This is the beautiful alien?

Rocky: Yup! c:

Adrian: *looking at Grace like one would look at the bottom of a dumpster*...I see.

(Eventually, they become the biggest "Grace is bad as hell, statement." Defender.)

been thinking a lot lately for no reason about gracerocky using the mary as their getaway spot. their lake house. when either of them need it, or when they miss their time alone together in the vacuum, they take a week, maybe two, go up to where she’s prepped & waiting in orbit. and mary is always up there, dancing around erid, ready when they need her. an eridian team keeps her in tip-top shape, creature comforts for both of her crewmates perpetually stocked, and they treat that ship with the reverence it deserves. and when the saviors of the stars radio up to that team that they’re coming, they may not be able understand it, but they’ll bust their craggy asses to make sure it’s ready because that’s the saviors’ business. and i imagine grace & rocky do this semi-often––one year maybe less, the next year maybe more...

they don’t go back to mary for the first 5 years grace is planetside on erid, too busy with reviving him & making him healthy & synthesizing him food & building him a dome, and that first year in the dome grace IS happy. he’s so happy…he is…it’s so much better than living in a sad little single-room med bay. it’s beautiful, it’s so lovingly, painstakingly crafted just for him, and there’s fog and breeze and rocks to skip and a miraculously soft bed and a weird but deeply appreciated coffee substitute, and rocky is there so often. he’s there more than he reasonably should be; he is pretty obviously neglecting his entire life outside of grace, and so grace has a really hard time with the fact that sometimes it’s STILL not enough. it makes him feel so…selfish. again. and he promised he was done with selfishness, so for awhile he doesn’t tell rocky. he can’t tell rocky. because how would he get the words out? how would he say “hey bud, so here’s the thing, i know by all rights i should never have a complaint again for the rest of my short & hard-won existence, because all of my needs and more are accounted for here to an unfathomable degree, but actually i really miss starving to death in that tin can with you, where it was just us, and nothing and no one else mattered or even existed. and sometimes i kind of wish we were still up there, because i guess i’m kind of the worst?” so he just doesn’t say it. for another year.

and then one night as he sits at his little kitchen table in his meticulously crafted eridian home, a night when rocky has had to be away from the dome for a full 48 earth hours to handle something only head-engineer savior rocky could handle, grace just fucking breaks. and when he next sees rocky it all comes spilling out of him and he’s so ashamed, he feels like the worst friend/family/partner/mate that’s ever existed, he begs rocky to forgive him, and rocky’s like. grace. i have had the mary kept immaculate in orbit all this time desperately hoping that you would ever want to return there with me. but i watched you wither away in those 3 rooms for months that felt like lifetimes and i assumed you never wanted to go back. which is why i never asked. so we’re going to get packed and leave for that ship right now and when we get there we’ll be having a good long talk about your complete lack of self-respect and total inability to acknowledge your own feelings and talk to your partner about them. but that can wait. get your stupid human skull bone cleaning device we’re going right now. and that’s the story of how they take their first mary staycation. the end

imagine how scared rocky was. not just from his crew members dying, but because of how defeaningly silent it was. being so used to the constant drill of sound on erid to being alone in this silent unknown vacumm with no harmonies to help him see.

so when grace comes along, rocky really listens. he picks up on how grace's footsteps sound like if he's happy or sad; grace humming while writing calculations; hell, he even listens to the miniscule squelch of grace's eye blinking.

rocky went from being blinded, depending on the tendrils of his ship to let him see, to suddenly seeing so much of grace.

so i imagine, when rocky is watching grace sleep, he listens so intently to his mellow breaths and he looks. he can see graces' smiles lines, the stubble on his chin that he always scratches, the lashes that lay on his cheekbones. rocky wonders if all humans have so many things on things on their face (a face being a new concept to him too)

rocky has gotten so used to this new type of sound. it isn't as loud as his life on erid but it isn't silent as being alone.it's just right.

rocky found his sound in grace.

[asteronomical]

the funny thing about gracerocky with oblivious grace is that rocky is absolutely going through it. like he'd be thinking, "is leaky space blob STUPID, question? rocky try eridian courting. NO WORK! rocky try human courting. NO WORK EITHER! rocky try confessing. TRANSLATOR NOT TRANSLATE PROPERLY. 🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶!!!"

also i just know rocky is seething whenever he tries to talk about his feelings but the translator spits out some crude, chewed-up oversimplification of his confession that can still be reasonably construed as platonic. which grace absolutely does.

rocky: you are half of me, and i want us to be so inexplicably intertwined that it's hard to tell where i end and where you begin. love is too small of a word to encompass the depth of what i feel for you

translator: rocky love grace

grace: aw buddy i love you too!
