I've probably posted about this before but it still gets me that Ripley (my parrot) has a special nickname for my spouse, Tev. Like he knows and uses the names of everyone in his flock (me, Tev, Steve, and Cheese. also a couple of our friends and my mom's dog) but because Tev calls him "Ripley buddy," a couple years ago Ripley started calling him "Tev buddy" instead of just Tev. He doesn't call anybody else buddy. He knows that 'buddy' is a special suffix for him and Tev to use with each other's names because they love each other. Doesn't that just melt your fucking heart

They love each other

both benjamin and ricky are ridiculously cute and friendly creatures but benjamin very much has rat vibes and ricky is more like a sentient beanie baby on cocaine

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I really do appreciate that Grace uses basic diy shit to solve complex problems despite having fancy tech/expensive equipment at his disposal the majority of the time (sans computer and biology equipment).

Going to Home Depot and using basic hardware tools to experiment with the astrophage despite having an internationally funded research lab. Bungee cords to navigate through the Mary in 0 g. Duct taping the shit out of individual bulbs for a flashlight despite there most likely being a better technical solution. Putting tape on the clock for Rocky's echolocation instead of using any initial tech.

There's a lot that can be analyzed from this alone, but what I love the most is its depiction of science. You don't need the biggest resources or fancy locations to solve problems and make discoveries: just curiosity, determination, and a lot of fuckin duct tape
