Rocky doesn’t tell Grace when they arrive to Erid which leads to a mix of confusion and cuteness overload when the anxious squishy space blob following Savior Rocky around like a shy pebble and signing things like “Hi-Hi!” “My. name. is. G-R-A-C-E” “nice. to. meet. you”.

A whole group of Eridian scientists hold back their coos as ‘pebble Grace’ signs the Eridian equivalent of “Bye-bye!” after every health check. Grace is none the wiser when the other Eridian besides Rocky and Adrian start to speak to him with a gentle lilt (think cooing and babytalk voices when they speak to him) thinking that Eridian must just be a little awkward about speaking to an alien for the first time, he struggled to find his footing a little the first time talking to Rocky so it makes since to him.

Thus ensures;

“Wow human Grace is a whole (number amount) heavier than last check up, someone is getting big and strong.”

“Human Grace is very very very brave human, injection will only last (small number amount)…and…all done! Good job human Grace! Grace must pick out prize.”

“Has human Grace had any owchies since last check up, there is medium sized scrap on human Grace leg? Did Human Grace get boo-boo from problem with Bio dome.”

It takes quite a bit of resistance not to make Grace’s bio dome a giant padded nursery for a delicate pebble and the argument to add more and more safety proofing is a never ending conversation. If Adrian is asked permission to build pebble gates around the shore and every possible cliff side again They will go insane. They once fired a lower level official for arguing the necessity of essentially adding a pebble monitor to every corner of the bio dome.

A many Eridian higher up officials don’t quite understand how savior Grace can be so smart and yet behave so child-like, thinking surely earth would not send a child on such a mission. However that logic goes out the window when they learn that Grace is only in his thirties(the Eridian equivalent to a 4 year old). This then leads to a major misunderstanding where many Eridians start to despise earth for sending a baby into space to die, Rocky lets the misunderstanding stand for a little longer than needed(still having mixed feelings about earth since they sent his best friend to die) before interviewing to explain the human life span.

Help, I've fallen into the Human!Rocky hole and I can't get up! I hope you like this ridiculous comic🧡💚

Pretty sure there's a connection that can be made about all of this though I'm not sure it should be made. Bottom line they're very weird

-🗑️ (same guy who knows they'd be crucified on the henrydanger fandomblr lmao. honestly not just for henray. being a multishipper sometimes makes you ship the most crazy stuff and they do not like it!) (wow I'm rambling in your asks, sorry bout that hahah)

God it's absolutely hilarious whenever it happens cuz it's always pretty much in passing so it's never addressed by the characters in question so it's never disputed, which to me makes it even funnier. Like they went back in time and Drex stole Ray's superpowers and scared a little kid and told Henry that he's gonna "crush your boyfriend, Ray" and Henry's only reaction is to snippily call back to Ray calling them coworkers. Like he's not even around to hear that pettiness, Henry, is that all you have to say? Tbh, I'm so used to this recurring joke that in season 5, whichever episode it was, when Kris and Jake and Piper have like an intervention for Henry being a "workaholic", I genuinely expected them to ask if he and his boss Ray were dating on the down low. Like that's just the headspace that the show itself had gotten me to lmfao.

So now of course I have a WIP where that is what Kris and Jake assume and Henry has to roll with it because what's the alternative at that point? And he's like soooo aggrieved, because his parents aren't even concerned about it? Like yeah sure the age thing whatever, but as long as they don't do anything illegal (age of consent-wise) then they trust Henry to be responsible and truthful about running off on, like, date nights or something. And the power dynamic of Ray being his boss also doesn't raise concerns because "it's a junk store, Henry. You can get a new job anywhere, anytime" and how does he explain that they should be wayyyyy more concerned without revealing their secret identities. So Henry just suffers the indignity of his family thinking he's dating Ray on one side, which he desperately tries to keep Ray from ever finding out, and random villains thinking Captain Man and Kid Danger are an item on the other, until he fucks off to Dystopia and can finally escape the nonsense. Smash-cut to Henry being like 22 and cripplingly in love with Ray and saying absolutely nothing out of spite, lest his parents and Piper and all those other random assholes retroactively be proven right lol.

Anyray, it isn't very often that the villains randomly set Ray and Henry's relationship status to romantically involved, but every time made me snort.

If you want to know a person, watch how they treat their servers, how they treat their food. Living with them is the second best option. Living with Ray is not Henry’s only option, but it is the best. They don’t even need to watch the other eat; they know each other already.
