nasa employee: this guy hasn't interacted with humans in like 20/60 years should he really be giving interviews?

nasa employee 2: ehh just give him some media training and it should be fine

this is more of a silly one bc i just wanted to draw grace in a suit ^^

Idk why anyone is alarmed that Markiplier knows about bloodymary clearly this means he strolled on in to the devil's sacrament and left with a couple of new ao3 bookmarks

MARK FLYING INTO RYAN GOSLINGS ARMS

Had a thought that Grace technically never used reverse translation for Rocky, and Rocky understood him without a translator because he basically learned the language himself.

And you know all those jokes and headcanons about Rocky swearing every other word like any self-respecting engineer would, right? And Grace most likely did enter all those words into the translator, but replaced them with softer censored equivalents because he himself doesn’t really swear so the idea that someone might be talking to him in profanity every other sentence probably never even crossed his mind.

Now imagine this. They finally arrive to Erid. Grace desperately wants to make a good first impression, so he spends days hunched over his laptop, painstakingly assembling a greeting speech out of fragments from Rocky’s recordings.

And the resulting first contact speech sounds… bad. Like really bad. He turns the laptop toward the delegation looking unbelievably proud of himself. Presses play. And the computer proceeds to unleash a magnificent torrent of multilayered alien profanity stitched together from fragments of Rocky’s voice. Grace has absolutely no idea.

Rocky watched all of these preparations in silence the entire time, making those sly whistling noises that could absolutely be interpreted as laughter. Rocky's proud.

Meanwhile the Eridians are just thinking: "Yep. Okay. This leaky space blob really did spend years with our Rocky."

it’s kinda funny bc the videos of grace hanging out w rocky is the happiest eva stratt had ever seen him. like imagine guilts been haunting you and the laws been hunting you and for decades you have no idea if it’s been all for nothing and then….. first clip you see is the scientist and a sentient rock going “this is me and my BOI ✌️”

[assiraphales]

i really do love that, whether by grace's design or not, the first video eva watched is him introducing his bff and the alien making an earth pop culture reference. aka in between solving the whole "our stars are being eaten by astrophage" problem they've clearly been having movies nights -- something that eva is delighted by

[avoid-avoidance]

I imagine Stratt is delighted about this for multiple reasons:

The simplest: Grace is clearly doing at least okay, and even if he has no human company out there, he isn't completely alone with just the spaceship computer to talk to;

A friendly alien rock spider casually referencing a human movie is kind of objectively delightful, really;

Stratt's whole deal is that she loves humanity and wants humanity to continue existing as long as possible; this video is proof that not only have humans reached out their hands to the stars -- they left their fingerprints on those stars in doing so;

What was that again, copyright lawyers??? You simply don't think that the comfort and happiness of three heroes who chose to die for all of humanity are a good enough reason to gift them with pirated copyrighted materials??? Well, how about the fact that said copyrighted materials ending up playing a VITAL role in diplomatic relations with another intelligent civilization, which in turn DIRECTLY led to the salvation of all humanity??? What do you think of THAT, hmmm???

Eva Stratt:

[verenakauer]

I feel so many feelings about Rocky during the first contact. He wants to connect SO BADLY. Do Eridians have horror stories about scary aliens? If they do, Rocky doesn't care. He wants this alien to be friendly. He does everything he can to accommodate. Here, a little gift I'm sending your way at the speed you're comfortable with. Please be there. Here, the next gift is going right into your airlock so that it's easier for you to catch. Please don't fly away. You made a strange gesture with your limb, I'll make my robot make that gesture back. Please belive that I'm friendly. Here's a tunnel to connect us, I'll make sure you can breathe in it. Please come meet me. I'll let you choose the material for the wall separating us; I'll rebuild the whole wall if it makes you more comfortable, no trouble, just please let's talk. You're all alone on your ship, I can hear it, please come sleep here where I can watch you, it's unsafe for you to be alone. I'm alone and scared, it's been 46 years since I felt safe while sleeping, please please please watch me sleep too. I'm very vulnerable when I sleep and I trust that you won't use it against me. I want to visit your ship, am allowed, question? I'm moving in with you. Let's save the stars.

I love all the 'rocky cares for grace' h/c but I crave more of the opposite too-
