Something about the possibility of Ryland Grace discovering he can have a queer platonic relationship with Rocky and discovering he can still be a teacher on Erid just feels delightfully intertwined to me. Like Grace really learning to reject the notion of what "should" be for what COULD be and how much lovelier a life he can lead for that.

this isn’t to defend anyone using AI but i don’t think bad smut anatomy is actually a tell because i grew up reading fanfiction on ff.net where no AI was used and bodies still often existed in some kind of picasso portal horror dimension of wriggling tongues and floating limbs

We do NOT defend the AI art, but we do not inherently assume that weird anatomy is AI. Drawing is hard, yo.

Mentioned to my mom I'm asexual a couple months ago and today.... we got into the car and she hit me with, "So you use they/them pronouns now?"

I went, "What. no. she/her."

"How does that work? With she/her/hers and they/them?"

I stared at her. "What are you talking about?"

"Well you came out as-" and I said, "I'm asexual."

She replied, "Like an amoeba, I know."

"Oh. My god. No. Mom. It doesn't- it's not the asexual you learned about in biology. I didn't come out as a single celled organism."

With heavy relief, she said "Oh, it has a different meaning?"

"Yes, mom."

i would never project onto doctor captain ryland grace what are you talking about

[entrailer]

reallyfirm believer in grace being a horrendous sensory experience for eridians as a whole. the misophonia alien. the overstimulation alien. like if worms were bigger and wetter and were more bad to see. all of which is, of course, to facilitate rockys literal alienation ala the metamorphosis but like in the opposite way (hard-shelled bug vs worm) AND i know ive been on this bullshit for months iam still not over it!! socially alienate that guy!!!!! what if you found more comfort and familiarity in an alien rather than your own species. what if everybody could kind of tell. everybody respects rocky & he does have a good amount of political sway but theres a lot of concerned side eye going on behind the scenes & people keep floating by the idea that maybe some separation would do them good. rocky gets baker acted

[entrailer]

sowwy. always facing rocky with the choice between reintegrating into eridian society or living with grace. and the only real choice is grace. because even if they werent toxically codependent, grace remains the one person capable of understanding half of what rocky went through. and its like. nobody on erid is being malicious. they just dont get it. they cant get it. and honestly not even grace can Fully get it. but hes the closest, and he has no frame of reference for what eridians "should" be like so he's not pushing for rockys return-to-form. he just wants his buddy.

I think they frequently get stuck in this situation where they stare very deeply into each other's ey-... carap-...... anyway they're in their own little world 🌎

ryland grace on his knees but make it hurt/comfort.

ft. book AND movie scarring bc the book injury is bigger and cooler but the little claw print from the movie is so dear to me.

you know i think one reason grace and carl get along so well so quickly is because carl is willing to get a little silly with it, so long as everyone is safe and their trip to the hardware store still fits within mission parameters.

and grace, as a certified cool ™️ middle school teacher, is absolutely willing to get silly with his students, so long as everybody stays safe and it fits within the lesson. i love that phm says “you can study science and solve real world problems and still have fun with people!”
