i see a lot of takes where Adrian has mixed feelings / is avoidant of Grace to begin with, but have seen comparatively few takes of GRACE being avoidant. Grace, infamous coward. Grace, explicitly afraid of failure. Grace, who ran from saving the Earth because of said fear. Grace, who (if not aroace) avoided relationships with other humans to avoid getting hurt
i want a Grace who withdraws almost immediately when Adrian doesn’t react the same way Rocky said they would in best-case-scenario (because Adrian is a complex person who’s world has upended when their mate brought home a sick alien). he becomes distant and relies on old habits to be friendly, but not open.
through gritted teeth, he shoos Rocky away so he can go visit or spend time with Adrian. and it hurts every time Rocky takes up his offer, exactly 50% of the time (because Rocky so very carefully wants to give his most special people his attention, equally). Grace doesn’t want it to hurt when Rocky inevitably chooses Adrian over him. when Rocky chooses to go back to a normal life.
when Rocky visits alone, Grace is the same as he’s always been. when Rocky visits with Adrian, he’s the same as he’s always been. he jokes too much, is self-deprecating in ways that Rocky doesn’t recognize, is quick to brush off things that Rocky knows would bother him if it was just the two of them.
he’s got an invisible xenonite wall between him and Adrian, and Rocky can see it. but he can’t do anything about it, because Grace won’t admit that’s what’s happening. Rocky calls him out, asks why he doesn’t like Adrian, asks why Grace won’t come with him on visits. Why is Grace pushing Rocky away, question?
it’s not until Adrian asks that Grace sees how stupid he’s being. Adrian doesn’t ask outright, but they’d noticed that Grace acts differently around them and gets advice from Rocky. Adrian is bigger than Rocky, could Grace be afraid of Adrian, question? is Grace overwhelmed by how alien everything is? so the next time they visit, they’re dressed in soft clothes like what Grace wears and almost crawling across the floor, as small as they can make themselves. Grace thinks it’s a little odd and funny, and asks what they’re doing. Adrian says plainly, Do not want Grace to be afraid of Adrian, statement.
it’s an eye opener for Grace. he’s been so focused on avoiding the upcoming heartbreak that he didn’t see how much he was worrying and hurting Rocky and Adrian. it takes seeing Adrian, a proud and large Eridian, make themselves as small as possible at the chance to connect to him.
finally Grace, who is able to overcome his fear of failure/rejection with how strong his love for Rocky is, opens up. it comes out in choruses and sonatas, how worried he is about disappointing Rocky or keeping Rocky chained to him now that they’re home. Rocky reassured him that Grace is here to stay, so Rocky is here to stay with Grace. (Adrian reassures him that, yes, they have mixed feelings about him, but they are willing to learn who he is. that makes Grace feel so much better than he expected.)
Just finished reading Andy Weirs book Project Hail Mary and I would die for Rocky
Stratt is dedicated to one thing: saving humanity. She thinks what action will bring me closest to my goal? and whatever the answer is to that question, she takes that action. Whether it's kind or cruel... if it brings her closer to her goal, she will do it. Harmful to one or helpful to another--there is no morality in it, not in the compassion and not in the harshness. She simply does what is necessary, void of any intent to help or harm any individual. Eva Stratt sacrifices her humanity for the sake of humanity and becomes, if you will, a force of nature. Nature has no morality, it only exists; a storm cannot be cruel, a soft breeze cannot be kind, it only exists until completion, until the circumstances formulating its existence disappear. And so shall Eva Stratt exist as long as astrophage does, warm when warmth is needed, steely when steel is needed, a friend when a companionship is needed, a traitor when a betrayal is needed. And perhaps that's why it's so impossible to hold it against her, it's not out of a desire to cause harm, it's not personal... It is only a desire to do what's necessary to give humanity its best shot at survival. How can you hate her for loving humanity enough to change her nature? How can you know her and not understand why you're no exception? How can you truly be her friend and not understand that Eva Stratt is fueled by two mugs of coffee and more love than most people will know in their lifetime? How can you feel bitter? How could you possibly resent her for doing the right thing, even if it hurt you
Project Hail Mary stickers soon AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE!!
I love how these came out! :3
Okay, so riffing on other people's posts about Eridians being ambush predators versus humans being persistence predators: do you think that affects how Rocky and Grace behaved in the "Blip-A detected" scene?
Grace POV: The other ship is patiently, steadily approaching me, clearly not giving up or pretending to ignore me politely, following my every move and not letting up and not letting me get too far away from it... Oh No. I Am Being Hunted. Run Away!!!
Rocky POV: I am making no attempt to conceal myself or make myself sound like something I'm not, and I'm not trying to trick or lure the other ship into coming closer to me of its own volition, and I'm not constructing any kind of physical trap. I am approaching as obviously as I can, at a steady pace. I am being So Fucking Friendly :D
Apples are probably one of the best things ever in the history of earth. Thank you for roughly 4 billion years of evolution and subsequent human cultivation to give me delicious apples to eat
Eva Stratt, my dear wife
“It took you two days to think of poking it with a stick” they could never make me hate you Eva Stratt
nap time with the pebbles :)

A guide to Eridian musical flirting 🪨🎶🪨
i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK
grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?
I love that the Eridians just have access to heroin now
Gifts for the Savior of Erid! (one of them, at least. Rocky got a lot of new jewelry, too) <3
