Okay, as much as I love Rocky extending Grace's life without telling him, consider: Rocky *does* tell Grace, Grace just then somehow manages to like. Horrendously misinterpret what the treatment is actually for. Like.

Eridian Doctor: We went through the human genome and found a bunch of places with old broken DNA repair mechanisms so we came up with a gene editing therapy that fixes them in order to extend your lifespan.

Grace: *flashbacks to when Rocky found out that humans can experience long term effects from lower doses of radiation exposure and Grace wasn't being as careful as he should have been back when they first met because he still thought this was gonna be a suicide mission*

Grace (internally): Oh, so cancer prevention! Got it!

Grace: Sounds good!

*like 100 years later*

Grace: Hey Rocky, how am I not dead yet?

Rocky: ???

I was talking to my husband the other day and, as a random example of a boring topic that nobody at a party would want to hear about, I happened to come up with, “The history of wheelbarrows.”

But then my husband and I got curious and decided to look up the history of wheelbarrows, and we both thought it was surprisingly interesting.

The very next day, we were visiting a thrift store with family and my sister spotted a toy wheelbarrow for her son, and my husband said, “Did you know that Jesus was older than wheelbarrows? They weren’t invented until around 100 CE.”

This is why curious people are my favorite type of people. No topic is really that boring when you look into it. And everything is more interesting when you talk about it with someone you love.

PHM Time Travel/Body Swap episode

I’ve been giggling over this concept for a hot minute- >

The idea is simple-

Grace is old and neither are really ready to say the eternal goodbye- Then they have a great idea. Hey! Let’s just… Toss out brainwaves back in time!

(Don’t ask how it’s possible uh- Science wiggly fingers-)

And!- This way we can ALSO prevent a bunch of deaths and everything could go so much smoother! Yeah, great idea let’s do it! We can petition it that way so they don’t think we’re purposely doing this so we can have another few years of bro-time…

What could go wrong…

Anyways, so in the process of sending their minds back in time they end up swapping bodies at the same time. Whoops. Rocky is not having a good time and Grace isn’t either. Everyone thinks they have gone crazy. Somehow they have to make things work while ALSO maneuvering unfamiliar bodies and senses.

I thought it was funny.

Original sketch here:

[thestuffedalligator]

There’s a certain folkloric idea that if you die at sea, your soul is sort of. Inextricably stuck in the sea. Because your body is irretrievable, your soul is also irretrievable, down out of the reach of the gods who look at the surface of the world. In Norse mythology, they said that the souls of sailors who died at sea are caught in the sea-goddess Rán’s net and dragged into her domain, a distinct and separate afterlife alongside Hel and Valhalla. Davy Jones Locker. The funayūrei. A lot of cultures agree that once sea has a hold on you, even when your body has rotted and dwindled and been made food for crabs, it still won’t let you go.

Do you think we’re going to wind up saying the same thing about astronauts.

[is-that-sand-in-my-waffles]

if grace woke up one day and he and rocky could exist in the same atmosphere, he'd probably crack a couple of ribs from throwing himself against rocky to hug him properly for the first time

[idgabuck]

Giggling at the scene from PHM where Grace is explaining how he figured out how astrophage breeds and he’s talking about Carl and when everyone is talking you can clearly hear a guy say loudly “WHO’S CARL?!”

[haley-harrison]

tbh it's no wonder ryland grace chose to stay on erid. i mean, he got a free house. on the beach! with today's real estate prices, what millenial wouldn't take that deal?

[haley-harrison]

reblogging again cuz I can't let this excellent addition hide in the tags, lmao

[ikiracake]

Okay so something like this has probably been done before but all I can picture is a Project Hail Mary Time Travel AU where Ryland Grace ends up back in the past before he ever left Earth. And of course he knows he needs to go back out there. Rocky is waiting for him, not to mention the whole 'save two planets' thing. No question, he needs to be on that ship.

Except there's one problem. There was no way in hell he was going to let the accident with the mixed up astrophage quantity happen again, so naturally he prevented the explosion and saved all those lives. Which means that there are now still two perfectly viable candidates for the science officer position kicking around. He doesn't need to go.

More importantly, Eva doesn't actually want him to go. Sending him was literally a last resort, something she did because she had no other choice. Why would she send Grace up on that ship when she still has the other options?

What follows is a battle of wits and wills as Grace tries to do everything he can to get himself back on the Hail Mary. Meanwhile Eva is spending more and more time and getting increasingly frustrated and bewildered trying to stop her top scientist, who seems to have spontaneously developed a death wish, from trying to sneak himself onto the mission. They caught him trying to hide in the space luggage last week. Yesterday he was wearing a fake moustache and claiming to be Shapiro with a haircut.

i really really really love the idea of eridians hearing absolutely everything in a human body and being able to predict an episode of something, similarly to how medical alert service dogs can

ya know, sometimes I wonder what’s even the point of returning to writing fics if these comments are the comments I get rewarded with: https://archiveofourown.org/comments/1276617016

like really, you think you’re so smart replying like this when I ask people to not harassing me about updating?? People are leaving comments on my other fics demanding I update this one and now y’all pull this? Yes, my dear, you’re obeying the letter of the law. You think you’re so smart. if commenters don’t even have the dencency of leaving of being kind, they should have the decency of shutting up.

Now I hestitate even writing the fic because it is both rewarding the harasser and going to feed in their urge to continue harassing me on my other works.

Kakashi has a laugh that kinda sounds like that one wolf vocalization and it’s so eerie sounding to people he has a fake one he uses instead

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"
