Another tragic thing about Ryland Grace is that he is definitely touch starved. He’s a very physical person. First evidence is when he danced with “someone” in the projection room. He had to make a person to hold knowing that he will never have the touch and company of another human being. (We all cry about how his last “alive” human touch was when he’s being chased.)

Probably an overlooked aspect of Ryland Grace is how he expresses anger. He takes it out on a yellow garbage bin when he found out his entire theory about life forms not needing water was wrong. (Tangent, the yellow garbage bin can be represented as himself bc he’s got a yellow coat, a coward to some, and we all know how he beats himself up for things). He also punches the screen when he finds out there’s a leak and Rocky’s compromised. He feels intensely. The same level of physical expression is seen whenever he’s happy.

He punches the air a lot, spins, claps. When he’s teaching he needs to move around as much as he can. He works better when he moves around, he will not sit still. That shadow shot of him holding Rocky’s first contact message up speaks volumes of who he is as a person. If he feels something, whether it be joy, anger, sadness, fear, he will physically show it. He feels so much and I love a hero/protagonist who’s gonna cry because well, he’s feeling things.

I’ve talk a lot about how Ryland Grace also has a tendency to deflect despite him being talkative and expressive. That scene when Rocky offers his fuel which made the scientist cry. Rocky wondering, “I thought you made peace?” and immediately him saying “I didn’t mean any of that.” He can conceal all he wants but his body will betray him. He can put a brave face on but we all know he’s afraid. He can pretend all he wants, as Carl said “you know who you are.” Ryland Grace is a man of science and the purpose of science is truth. Truth will come out whatever happens even when it’s as ugly as his emotions.

Now the most obvious: He holds Rocky a lot. A hug is not complete when Rocky’s not leaning in. Fist bumping is a ritual to them. He puts his hands on his xenonite ball a lot especially in that montage of them celebrating. He’s been alone a while even when he was on earth. No barrier will stop him to show how much he cares about Rocky. He’s also allowed to be himself without judgement. Talking too much? That’s fine. Lashing out a bit when Rocky was pressuring him? No hard feelings. Rocky is a grounding presence to him. He can hug him whenever. Touch starved no more. Rocky is literally his rock.

Revelations 16:3

“Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.”

thinking about the parallels between these three shots and how grace is fighting to keep his eyes open in the first two and in the third his fight is finally over and he can close them by his own volition out of pure relief & love for his best friend

I identify the most with the woman who has a green velvet ribbon around her neck and keeps being like "DONT untie my neck ribbon or something really bad will happen" and then her husband unties the ribbon and her head falls off. this is extremely real to me. spent my whole life like "please don't do this thing to me or really bad stuff will happen" and everyone around me being like "that sounds fake" and doing it anyway. and then my head fell off!

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”
