-After a mission near the gates of Konoha. Iruka: Let’s race back to Konoha. Whoever comes in last pays for dinner. Shisui: Sooo that’s how you say you’re going to pay for the food today? Yamato: I guess we’ll have ramen, then. Iruka: You two!

I know this is a very tall ask, but if anyone knows anything about medical science, works as an EMT, etc. I would LOVE insight of all of Simon's incurred injuries in Iron Lung (2026).

Having a beat-for-beat resource list on exactly what happened to his body would be useful to me, and also getting knowledge on how someone would go about potentially addressing them would A) be an absolute blast to analyze as a logic-based literature enthusiast, and B) help fanfic writers address Simon's physical trauma with more realism and dedication.

I am working on a master reference and adding that to the collection would be a dream come true.

If anyone wants to take up this side quest, you'd be doing this small corner of the fandom a huge favor!

Realistically is Rocky’s xenonite ball warm? Probably not no not at all.

Also the gouache painting at the bottom is like three inches and it was impossible to paint Rocky’s tools

Sketchbook stuff! Every Rocky I draw looks like a completely different guy.

I need the ai bubble to burst so badly. I feel insane. My uncle shows my driving license (a piece of id with my picture, basic info and signature) to chatgpt to figure out what is the code a form ask for. My brother shows my mom's medical report to perplexity to have it explained in lay terms before she brings it to her doctor. All of those pieces of information could have been acquired without putting crucial personal information into the servers of big data.

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

And some stupid idea i had

I feel like early in their friendship Rocky would be curious about Grace’s glasses (ft. Grace’s inability to wear them correctly)

The importance of his doctorate in molecular biology aside, the way in which Ryland Grace approaches an alien life form with curiosity, compassion and kindness is indicative of his lived experience as a teacher in a middle school.

It is one thing to be able to teach effectively, and another to manage a variety of different individuals needs while maintaining engagement. Every skill that Grace uses in his meeting of Rocky, and building a relationship with him, whether he remembers or not, are skills a good educator and mentor uses.

To not assume ill intent. To approach first with curiosity. To explain difficult concepts in a palatable way without condescension or malice. To empathize with one's situation and acknowledge how it may shape one's responses. To exercise patience. To adapt and shift gears in the face of uncertainty. To remain calm in the height of stress and remain a leader.

Grace as a scientist yes, but as a teacher, maintaining an openness to not only work with Rocky, but to also embrace his differences and utilize his strengths to find creative solutions that benefit both of them.

History is fraught with disputes and wars driven by ignorance and sustained by fear of unique cultures and experiences that are different to our own. It is practically in our DNA to reject or fear that of which is different to us, and so it is not weak to trust or to be kind. It is harder to be these things, because the opposing forces come so effortlessly.

Grace's inclination toward 'flight' instead of 'fight' is not an indicator of weakness. It is preservation. It is learned behavior. To take a step back, recalibrate and approach again. You do not win students over by being a fearless dictator. You win them over by treating them like people, and acknowledging where you yourself have room for growth. Ryland Grace is a coward for many reasons that define his narrative, but being trusting and kind are not among them.

Humanity owes its salvation to Ryland Grace the middle school teacher.
