k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace “hunt” him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isn’t trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes

only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isn’t which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like “got youuu” and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life

[paprus-teutonic-knight]

A species that hunts by walking until you run out of energy must be terrifying if you can't wake up from sleep. You won't even know when it finds you.

I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

It’s the same in Irish! bóín Dé!

[peniswizard69]

in hebrew it’s “our rabbi moses’s cow”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Oh I love this news!!!!

Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: “Who’s cow is this????”

It feels like some early humans were naming things and one of them ran out of ideas.

Human 1: (points at animal) What’s that?

Human 2: Cow.

Human 1: (points at bug) What’s that?

Human 2: … little cow.

Human 1: But it’s so much smaller. Who would have use for such a small cow?

Human 2: (panicking but in too deep to stop now) God.

The “Lady” in the name “ladybug” is the virgin Mary. People just cannot stop giving religious names to this bug.

The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that it’d be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course they’d be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!

[magical-bear-dubin]

That is such an interesting etymology!!!!

And entomology too i guess

[asparklethatisblue]

in German they’re Marienkäfer which also pretty much means “Mary’s Beetle”

[istadris]

In French it’s “Good Lord’s Beast”

Not even a cow, it’s just a little Creature but we know for sure God loves it.

[dent-de-l1on]

In Dutch it’s “Lieveheersbeestje”, the Good Lord’s Little Beast

[A random Tuesday on the way back to Erid]

Grace: Hmmm. Draw fish.

Rocky: Upset, you are mean mean—

Rocky: FUCK. SHIT. FUCK. OH SHIT. FUCK.

Grace: Woah, what’s happening???

Rocky: I FORGOT YOU WERE PEOPLE. I AM IN PUBLIC. OH NO.

Grace: mhmmm?

Rocky: WAS ALONE SO LONG I STOPPED WEARING CLOTHES. I DID NOT THINK ABOUT IT WHEN MEETING YOU. OH NO.

Grace: YOU WEAR CLOTHES?!?

Rocky: OH AND YOU CAN SEE ME THAT MAKES THIS SO MUCH WORSE.

[awtysm-cryptid]

Been having thoughts about how weird Grace's Birthday must be to the Eridians cause of all the yaps about his aging on Erid

Earth years are 365 days ignoring leap years

Erid years are about 42 earth days

which means every about 8 Erid years (I think) is Grace's birthday and I'm jusy think about how weird that must be to the Eridians

"Yes heres Rocky's leaky space blob he only gets to his birth one every 8 years. Yeah its normal for his species but weird right?"

[justcakethanks]

Rocky has a lot to deal with

[hailmarysuggest]

I just want a fic where everyone is all ‘why is Dr Grace so grumpy today? He’s normally so sweet’ and Stratt goes to inspect him for like 5 minutes before grabbing scissors, snipping the tag out of the back of his shirt carefully enough not to leave one of those itchy lines behind, and then he’s a freaking sweetheart again for the rest of the day. Like the princess and the pea. And for some reason only her people watching abilities could figure out why.

Carl probably could have figured it out too, but he can’t be glued to Grace’s side 100% of the time lol.

[p3ndragn]

If she was in charge of the backrooms research team then there would be no fucking about. She would already have the answers, none of this ‘I don’t know’ business. Ryland Grace would be hazmat suited up and sent in there ASAP.

[darkestbrook]

I hope they pirated Minecraft on those computers. I think Rocky would like it

Project Hail Mary (2026)

[starinthegarden]

the first part of project hail mary is so funny to me because what do you mean grace asks ‘what’s project hail mary’ and it immediately cuts to stratt presenting a ‘what is project hail mary’ powerpoint. these cuts are diabolically stupid and i love them

[sammypog]

why is no one talking about the book reunion scene. did you know when grace explains that he’s going to die of starvation, rocky immediately tells him to leave and go back home, that he’ll just keep waiting, that erid might send another ship someday. i’m going crazy. rocky had probably completely accepted his fate and then grace miraculously appeared and gave him back his life and his home. and he was instantly willing to give it all up again just so grace could survive. can anyone hear me. this is insane. i’m insane

[7-inches-of-satanic-panic]

Grace gets a kidney stone at some point while living on Erid and Rocky who hears it forming inside of him thinks Grace is pregnant so he starts interrogating the biodome team like

[artsyape]

I love them both your honor.

[chromaticrainarts]

Eridian scientists proceed to stuff Grace's face with meburgers until Rocky stops screaming
