24 / she/they not pronounced like the pasta

[starrlova]

I haven’t seen X-Men: First Class in years. Unfortunately for me, I’ve gotten better with my German since then. And by GOD if the German in that movie is not some of the worst grammar and pronunciation I’ve seen in an English language film in a long time. Like I hate to say it bc I love X-men but it’s laughably bad

Reading sotr for the first time and haymitch just said “im not a drinker myself” oh this book is gonna HURT

[starrlova]

Question for ppl who have read sotr:

Is there a lot of talk of alcohol? I really wanna read it but I also don’t wanna be triggered (just hit one year sober this month)

[starrlova]

is this a safe space to talk about how merlin got me through the early days of sobriety

[starrlova]

I meant to update this on my 100th day but totally forgot. Anyways, 130 days sober, partly in thanks to my favorite tv show 💙

[starrlova]

I just reblogged another one of my posts about my sobriety but ANYWAYS happy 250 days to me yippee

[starrlova]

I can officially say that thanks in part to bbc Merlin I am 365 days sober <3

[starrlova]

This is definitely not the place for this but I just need it out there somewhere that I’m sober 17 days today!! I passed two weeks and didn’t even notice!! Very proud of myself :D

[starrlova]

Over five months sober now

so when i was a kid a read this story where a boy gets turned into a mouse by evil witches. at the end (spoilers) him and his beloved grandmother manage to slaughter all the witches but they do NOT manage to turn him back to a human child. he stays a mouse. the grandmother rebuilds her home to be mouse accessible. and they discuss the fact that he's aging like a mouse, so he probably only has a few years to live; but it's ok, because the grandmother confesses that she ALSO only has a few years to live and they both agree that they wouldn't want to live without the other. So everything is alright then, and they're happy, and that's the end of the story. it's probably been over two decades since i read it and quite frankly i am still processing the intertwining concepts of love and mortality but anyway that's not my point. my point is that Rocky did not die of acute radiation sickness because he spent enough time shielded by astrophage that his body was able to handle the damage, but holy shit does he have every type of cancer. he didn't die entering grace's atmosphere but all of his organs caught fire. I repeat — his internal organs caught fire. he spent several decades in a low gravity environment. Do you know what human bodies do in low gravity? it's not good man. 20% muscle loss in two weeks. 1% bone density loss every month. Maybe carapaces and low organic matter would handle the change better, but idk, it might actually be worse.

anyway my point is, actually, i do think that Rocky and Grace would get to grow old together.

Today has been eventful to say the least:

Made a C instead of an A in my favorite class this semester bc I kept putting off an essay (cried at work)

Had to tell my parents about said C (cried in the car)

Absolutely BOMBED an exam I thought I was prepared for (didn’t cry thankfully)

Had to go to the ER bc I fucking SHOCKED MYSELF on a broken light switch. Tests came back all clear but I did have a panic attack for the first time in a loooooong while (cried at the ER)

Getting a C isn’t the worst thing in the world to happen to me, but I’m also kinda super sleep deprived and very emotional bc of exams, so,,

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.

Why do people keep putting Laika and Felicette in the same boat? Laika’s trip was one way, yes, but Felicette made it back home. She was just put down so they could study her. I wouldn’t say Felicette is a patron saint of one way trips in the way that Laika is

my sister (@starrlova) and i are so grace and rocky coded (her being grace, i being rocky) and i wanna make a list of the similarities to shove at her snrk

- she is very smart :3 not specifically in molecular biology, but she knows a lot about da ocean as well as dinosaurs and Pokemon. NERD.

- i'm very smart when you're in my ballparks/can understand wtf i'm saying. and i like to make stuff!!

- she's a LOSER /aff

- i definitely FEEL like an alien most of the time, for a variety of reasons

- not that she doesn't swear, but it's significantly less than i do. personal hc of mine that rocky swears like a fucking sailor, grace just has no idea snrk

- i relate to rocky in the sense that i feel very alone a lot of the time, especially before i met her. (grace rocky save stars)

- she relates to grace in the sense that she feels like she's a coward, but she's brave for me

- grace say grace will die. rocky fix. (sounds of weeping)

does anyone else just. love their siblings btw. sure, she isn't my sister by blood, but she's done so much for me in the, realistically, very short time we've known each other. just like rocky and grace if you think hard enough

[starrlova]

ilysm kiddo

[spaceblobs]

and james ortiz, who voices rocky purely because he just understands him so much. he was originally just supposed to be a puppeteer but he said in shooting that he never wanted ryan to feel like he was alone. and i just!! that is the core of who rocky is! someone who doesn’t want to be alone and who doesn’t want others to be alone. he understands him so well and truly i do not think rocky could have been played by anyone else. if you haven’t check out more of james ortiz’s work I HIGHLY recommend you do. he is incredibly talented and i cannot praise him enough!!

i think there is a statue of grace. on the campus of the university where he got his phd. it's a big base, like the statue atop it is going to be a larger than life hero standing brave. but instead it is him, life size, sitting with his feet dangling off the edge and turned slightly to the side like he is in conversation.

there is room to sit next to him. students like to hop up and sit next to dr. grace to get advice, vent, just take a minute. he's a friend to all on campus
