STOP! before you decide you are irretrievably doomed, try one of the following options:

transition

bdsm

go outside for an hour and observe birds

Honestly, Rocky's train of thought "it is dangerous and scary to sleep alone because I'm very vulnerable while asleep —> I'll ask this alien I met three days ago to watch me and keep me safe" is so wild (and heartbreaking). Just. The amount of trust. Yes, they've been chatting for a few days now and the alien doesn't seem to want him dead, but still. The way he scrambles to make Grace stay when Grace tries to leave him sleep alone. How desperate he is to finally have someone there T_T

(Grace's logic in the book is even better though. "The alien I met yesterday wants me to sleep in the tunnel he built so that he can watch me? Sure, why not, he probably wants to study me, I'll go fetch the blankets. He insists that I always sleep here even if it's just a short nap? Huh, weird, but whatever, nothing can possibly go wrong, I'm not even gonna ask why!" Sir, two days ago you were scared that they might attack you. You're still assuming there is a bunch of other aliens on that ship. You don't even know what that glue this tunnel is connected to your ship with is made of and how long will it last. Rocky at least has the excuse of this being a big part of his culture; Grace is Just Like That. Survival instinct? Nah.)

I dunno, I think it makes total sense that Rocky is a hyperactive little ball of anxiety even if he perceives time slower than Grace.

[system-coded-skirmish]

some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!

The popularity of the "incompetent stupid piece of shit husband and competent wife who loves him anyways" trope in media is a psyop to make women believe its normal to settle for an incompetent stupid piece of shit husband

Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.

You know, you can’t really be brave without being scared at first. It’s just a matter of finding someone to be brave for.

This post is going to make me sound like a total assole and I preemptively apologize. This is not directed at anyone in particular. Giving music recs to people feels awesome and listening to music recs from people is a miserable experience 85% of the time. I’ll mention a classic song I like and someone will be like “Have you heard The Breadsticks cover of that? It is so good!” and you pull it up and give it a try and it is hot garbage. It is coworker music. It is music you find on a playlist created for a popular YA ship. It is worse than the original by every conceivable metric and you sit back and realize someone thinks this is really good and you don’t want to hurt their feelings so you have no clue how to respond. We all know the phrase ‘you can’t eat at everybody’s house’ but you really cannot listen to everyone’s music recommendations. Especially if it is unprompted. People are just rearing to tell you to listen to some bullshit. And it has nothing to do with how cool the person is, there are some very cool and chill people in this world who unironically listen to Imagine Dragons in their free time. You cannot possibly know if their taste in music is good or horrendous until it is too late and your ears have been subjected to some torment.
