yall think Grace ever got zoochosis. I’m imagining him walking in circles counting exactly how many steps it takes to go around the entire perimeter of his Dome ten times over while staring into the middle distance. meanwhile Rocky is shaking Adrian’s shoulders (?) going Honey We Have To Add Enrichment To His Enclosure. Adrian His Squishy Human Brain Is Melting. Do We Have Any Space Middle Schoolers To Throw At Him.

dude the scene where grace and rocky say goodbye to each other in the movie keeps getting me because of how real it feels. how they first say goodbye, do a little dance. wave, glance, do a thumbs up (down). they can never seem to settle down on a final goodbye. grace keeps looking back, rocky keeps standing there. they're prolonging it. and that's what gets me!! i've been there!! how do you say goodbye to someone you love. you're trying so hard to make it special, to make it memorable. you say "okay this is it. then i will go" but you've already said that before. you keep saying it. you can't bring yourself to go. you want to make it count and to savor each moment. you're reliving all the time you had with them and living all the time you never will in those few moments. you don't want it to end. it's not enough time. it wasn't enough time !!!

it's like when i first say goodbye when i get up to leave. then again when i'm walking down the hall. then again when i'm putting my shoes on. when i'm standing at the door. when i'm walking to the car. before i close the door behind me. and then when i am waving and waving and waving until i can't see them anymore. and i still wave after that, just in case. and it still wasn't enough

sometimes you have to take a long hard look in the mirror and say. okay buddy. you stayed up until 2am stressing about shit. you had a nightmare last night. you’re exhausted. don’t expect anything special from yourself today and don’t handle any dangerous goods. sparkle on

decided to pick up and read the phm book and i have to admit i am pretty endeared by grace's deep-seated need to do maths about Everything

I needed to see this today.

[storybookprincess]

so back when my little brother was in high school, my mom went as a chaperone for their senior year field trip to an amusement park. which, you know, brave move to volunteer to supervise a bunch of high school seniors let loose in a wonderland of rollercoasters and sugar

my brother and his friends in this field trip group were truly great kids. but they were not above run of the mill teenage boy shenanigans. it’s the end of senior year, you and all your buddies are at the amusement park, you’re naturally going to want to act like a complete moron

there was one kid in the group who was especially prone to goofing around. committed to the bit, some may say. my mom knew that if nonsense was going to break out, he’d likely be at the center of it

so she goes up to this kid at the very start of the trip and says “hey, i’m kinda worried about this chaperoning thing. this might be a lot to ask, but can you help me keep an eye on everyone? you wouldn’t have to do anything big, just be an extra set of eyes for me.”

friends, this kid proceeded to run their field trip group like the fucking us marines. everyone is at the meet up spots at the designated time. everyone waits in line for the rides like a bunch of boy scouts. the second the horseplay gets too out of hand, this kid is getting it back under control

it’s incredible how differently people act based on the expectations you set. instead of going to this kid and saying “hey, i know you’re trouble, so i’ve got my eye on you,” my mom went “hey, i know you have influence in your peer group, so i think you can help me.”

treat someone like a problem, they’ll act like a problem. but give people a chance to help, make them feel important, and they usually rise far above the occasion. it was a stroke of genius that i’m honestly still in awe of

They'll be ready. I expect so. They have a great teacher.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Still thinking about how Grace was always treated as disposable. Kicked out of his passion field for his honesty—underpaid as a (very good) teacher, to the point he can’t afford a car—left alone in a room full of argon with a sample that might kill him, while all the indispensable guys who put him there stood on the other side of the glass and watched. Shoved screaming into a mission that would kill him. And then, then this bonkers little alien who just met him gladly trades years off his life (via extended return mission) to save him. Runs burning through deadly air to keep him from dying. Chooses finally to weave their lives together forever and recreate Grace’s best dreams of Earth to make him happy. No wonder Grace told Rocky he doesn’t have to get him a gift, he’s given him everything. To one little spider guy, Grace is irreplaceable. That’s love.

[stargirl-and-potts]

And of course Rocky, who flung himself into the impossible trusting his crew would be there, only to lose every single crewmate with no warning and no understanding — Rocky who spent endless days alone with no other voice, no one to watch him sleep, no way to even tell Adrian he’s sorry — Rocky found everything he needed in Grace too. Rocky needed a miracle desperately and he got one. He finally hears a voice, and it is kind. It apologizes instantly for frightening him. It laughs with him just for joy at having met. It belongs to this soft silly improbable creature who without knowing him at all meets his trust halfway and tries everything just to be able to speak to him, before they even know they can help each other. Rocky finally found one other soul and it’s wide open. Rocky may have saved Grace but Grace saved Rocky too. Over and over they (we) save each other.
