Decided to pin this somehow anyway.

Oh the topic of Rocky being amazed at the human power for sight I love the thought of how human sight is so linked to movement.

Like- on the ship as Rocky’s waking up after sleeping he hasn’t moved yet and twitches one finger and Grace’s head is snapping up to look at him.

Or- Rocky will think Grace’s head is completely turned away and will try to sneak up on him but the smallest movement in Grace’s periphery will give him away.

[7-inches-of-satanic-panic]

love the scene where the lights went out on the ship and Grace told Rocky to panic only for Rocky to be like “why what happened” cuz Grace forgot he couldn’t see. I imagine that kind of slip up happened many times on the way to Erid, and with the inverse of Rocky being “did u hear that” before remembering humans can’t hear as many frequencies as Eridians

god they’re so STUPID. jarvis make them kiss nasty style

[theclowninyellow]

I love the anxious space men

[huanggugugu]

That's social discomfort for you, Dr. Grace!

I believe there's a great chance they've already covered this topic during their initial discussion of Human/Eridian physiology...

Still! I wanted to draw!

I have been thinking that an aroace Grace must be a very frustrating for the eridian monster f#ckers, because the monster is just there, but he is not interested.

Extra + Adrian and Rocky:

I also thinking that Adrian and Rocky are doing everything they can so Grace can live in happy ignorance and never know of the group of very willing fans clustering around his biodome

Picture with me.

Adrian talking with Grace about interesting facts of eridian biology as a distraction, while in the background Rocky is tackling some eridian-fan that got their way in the biodome.

Grace giving a class about human biology for any eridian that may be interested in learning about it and a group of eridians writing (I don't know if eridian write, but lets pretend they do) a lot of notes, but suddenly he mentions the reproduction system and those eridians are writing the double of fast.

Eridians trying to courtship Grace, but Rocky and Adrian blocking every chance.

A black market in which eridians interchanges mini xenonite models of Grace (eridians do not have photos this is the closet thing they have.)

Adrian and Rocky going in quests to track and eliminate any of this black markets.

Extra + Simon:

Simon fighting over this eridian suitors with all he has, until he realizes that some of the eridians are now not only interested in Grace but in him too, or in both of them, and getting a little freak out, because that was a turn he wasn't expecting.

Simon deciding that "You know what? Adrian got this" and hidding behind massive Adrian, so they can take care of the suitors for him, because sometimes retry is the best choice.

Grace never knowing of any of this.

[starrose17]

Just the different ways he's sitting in that little xenonite cubicle while finding Rocky's voice.

If she was in charge of the backrooms research team then there would be no fucking about. She would already have the answers, none of this ‘I don’t know’ business. Ryland Grace would be hazmat suited up and sent in there ASAP.

this in: middle-aged mans first known encounter with flirtatious remark (confused)

I made a stupid meme while reading the book.

I MEAN

[geniusbee]

these are getting weird

[rederiswrites]

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

[thunderglade]

coughs loudly

[aroace-ryland-grace]

Always always always thinking about how as soon as Grace told Rocky he had killed himself to come back and save him he almost immediately told him to leave him behind (most likely to die) to save himself. Rocky you drive me so insane.

[chromaticrainarts]

Eridian scientists proceed to stuff Grace's face with meburgers until Rocky stops screaming
