Grace and Simon are living in the bio dome.
Somehow Grace and the Eridians establish a connection to Earth. Like extream wifi lmao.
This started as a way to exchange information between Erid and Earth (science, culture, anything and everything)
Grace does a pen pal style video with his class on Erid with some of his former students from Earth. They're much older now, but they tell the eridian students about their favorite experiments and memories from their childhood.
Cue Grace doing Bill Nye style videos with his students to send back to Earth.
Teachers EVERYWHERE are playing Ryland Grace: Science from Space!
Rocky is in some of them, but its mainly Grace's students as his lab assistants ✨️
In the middle of all this, Earth sent a digital care package with movies, shows, and a few games. They send a few indie games because of the shitty bandwidth.
Grace plays a few of them with Simon and LOVES Simon's reactions. They end up sending a video back to Earth of them playing one of the horror games. (They were both babies very brave)
With encouragement from Grace, Simon started playing a few on his own. Recording his play throughs and sending the videos to Earth.
Eel Tree simon getting jumpscared by an animatronic bear goes viral.
Suddenly PHM has a whole department dedicated to just communication and distribution of Grace and Simon's videos. One person's job is just finding games to send to Simon lmao.
They can see and interact with the comments on their respective videos :3 (heavily moderated by PHM)
They don't know about the people who thirst after them, nor the people who ship them (me to both)
Grace cries when he realizes he's able to shape young minds on two planets.
Simon likes horror because it's not real. He's scared in the moment, but knows when he steps away from the screen the horrors stop.
Still cuddles with grace after some more intense games tho 💖
Simon's not allowed to play rage bait games anymore
