Grace mentioning to Rocky that he used to watch his ship every evening after they parted ways (and do complex math to figure out when he's going to lose sight of it completely). Grace is. a little bit embarrassed about the whole thing.

Rocky is ecstatic.

"Grace watched Rocky sleep, question? Even though we were apart??"

"...yeah. Yeah, pal, I guess I did."

[7-inches-of-satanic-panic]

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

I have this idea for a video game called Are You Out There? where two players control two different alien civilizations and the goal of the game is to invent spaceflight and then manage to find one another in a ginormous universe. You can try to leave signs for each other to find, or send out probes and radio waves, or colonize many systems so you're a bigger target, but its hard because the universe is really big.

Idk just a thought.

This is my 'Sad Cat' gallery

Where I take screenshots of the characters in some of their most miserable, isolated moments of the first few seconds during the cold open

More will inevitably be added to this gallery

I think people need to get used to the idea that most things happen by accident, including systems of oppression.

I've seen so many people talk about how certain types of discrimination exist specifically and deliberately to uphold capitalism or something, and most of the time they're just... things that happened. Bad habits we got into as a society, long before anyone alive today was born.

I really do think we need to stop saying "this behavior was designed to further systems of oppression," and start saying "this behavior does further systems of oppression, deliberately or not." It makes people more likely to listen to you, since you're not accusing them of being an evil oppressor who hurts people on purpose, and it makes you less likely to fall into conspiracy theories and us-vs-them thinking.

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

eridian children in Grace’s class interested but slightly disappointed to learn that much earth life is bilaterally symmetrical with even numbers of limbs

Grace going “oh!! But!” and teaching them about starfish, to their absolute delight

new eridian schoolchild trend of starfishing aka flopping flat down with all legs out and moving by wiggling and squirming around, giggling. parents hooting at Grace in despair. why did you teach them this

[xushibeetle]

Loved this idea so much I had to draw it ☆

[ravioliet]

and what if i said Rocky and Adrian with Grace

[penny-anna]

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

[penny-anna]

#we would create an entire new astrology system about it#spoinglology

Grace, watching the eridian children develop a whole astrology-esque personality typing system based around what colour they are: oh god what have I done

[penny-anna]

anyway ppl mentioning synesthesia in the notes so i suggest to you: Grace explaining to fascinated Eridians that deep sounds are 'dark coloured' and high sounds are 'light coloured'

[penny-anna]

Grace: so red is hot

Rocky: ok

Grace: and blue is cold

Rocky: ok

Rocky: why?

Grace: I. I'm not really sure.

[penny-anna]

#ok thats fire and ice/water obviously

Rocky: so fire is red?

Grace: well no it's usually more orange

Rocky: and ice is blue

Grace: well kinda? it usually looks clear or white

Rocky: this is bullshit

[mystrades-umbrella]

Hear me out - potential PHM animatic to would you fall in love with me again from EPIC but it’s Rocky returning to Adrian

obviously with some differences because rocky and Grace didn’t go on a murdering streak but like (be patient with me I may have misremembers somethings)

‘your frame is lighter’- somthing has to have happend to his frame when he started burning whilst saving Grace

‘left a trail of red on every island’ - defiantly somthing to do with the petrova line

‘hurt more lives than I can count on my hands’- I like to imagine that Rocky is still really upset about his crew mates deaths and is thinking about their family’s

’how long has it been’ ‘20 years’ -I’m foregettinh how long it took them to travel back but cmon

I don’t know Thats the thought that came to me in my sleep tell me if it’s too depressing

Edit: because this reblogs are getting long: it’s the only thing I’m being able to think of probably for the rest of today so the reblogs with ideas probably won’t stop for a while

[luthi3n]

I wrote a fic abt asexual (and sex-favorable and romance-favorable because yes) Ryland Grace!

(Also all Eridians are asexual hehe, as a bonus)

“Understand,” Rocky said. “Grace like Eridian. Think some others beautiful, but not then want sex.”

Huh. I had to think about that for a moment. “Yeah,” I said. “I guess so. I mean, I still...can enjoy sex in a way that doesn’t exist for you, but...yeah. I guess what you said is true.”

I have never said the word “sex” in one conversation this many times in my life. The woes of meeting an alien, apparently.

I see so many posts like “imagine being adrian and” and i haven’t seen ONE PERSON SAY imagine you’re adrian and your husband goes on a mission to save the world and comes back 50ish earth years later with an alien and they saved the world. Your husband tells you all about this planet they went to that had the microorganisms needed to save the world. And your husband named it after you. Oh my god that’s- oh. Oh you named it after what the alien called me? Ok. I guess. Still sweet, i wasn’t involved and you weren’t sure you were ever gonna see me again so i guess- the fuck do you mean THE ALIEN NAMED IT AFTER ME. IT WASN’T EVEN YOUR IDEA? YOU WANTED TO GO WITH MEDIUM ROUGH TEXTURE CIRCLE PLANET??? THE ALIEN WAS THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF NAMING IT AFTER ME?????
