headcanon that clothes are a thing on erid but theyre not strictly culturally required and are largely decorative, like, fiber is a different sound texture from an eridians carapace so you wear it if you wanna be fancy. Rocky didnt wear clothes while on the mission because they needed to hear the gadgets they were working with better. Anyways i think that this would make the clothing conversation much funnier especially if rocky understands human's cultural expectation of modesty with clothing before he has to explain. Like

Exactly, Ryland

I just realized that it's not quite true that Earth doesn't know what happened to Grace after he went back for Rocky.

I think whenever Grace dies, his gravesite would always have a guard posted. So that for as long as he sleeps, there is someone watching him. I think there would be a very long waitlist to be the Eridian who gets to watch the site, but it is also not a task to be taken lightly. Not only are you tasked with watching Grace sleep, but one also has to keep the area clean, calm, and protected, and maybe be able to answer a few common questions about the hero. It's not quite a holy sight, but it also holds a certain amount of reverence.

My first piece of advice on the subject is that regardless of what anatomical situation you are dealing with, there is no actual credible, reliable way to physically or medically determine whether or not someone has had sex before. There is no indicator either way, in any physical sense, that would be reliably found in people who have had sex before and be reliably absent on people who haven't, and vice versa. If you find yourself in a situation where someone thinks they need to know whether or not you are a virgin, you can literally just lie. You can just say you're whatever option gets you the outcome you'd rather have.

It’s so hilarious to me reading fics where Grace talks to other Eridians and uses gender neutral terms for every single one of them EXCEPT for Rocky

I haven't seen anyone do this yet and I think it is a painful void in the Project Hail Mary fandom. Guys. Put Grace in a space ball on Erid and have him break down Rocky's door and roll around knocking things over. Cmon guys.

Settle a bet.

read a short danmei called 'i can't shake off the vow breaking immortal', and now im imagining a jiuyuan AU where shen yuan transmigrates as a dream demon but is stuck in the dream realm as a spirit/ghost. to get out of this, shen yuan is tasked by the system to reform shen qingqiu through his dreams and make PIDW have a happier ending. once the mission is completed, shen yuan will have his own physical body and can roam around PIDW freely.

I don't believe in christian babies. I believe in babies, i believe in christians, but a baby doesn't have the agency and cognitive abilities required to chose and/or live a faith. There's babies of christian parents, of course, as well as babies that have been introduced into the system that is the christian church, but that does not make them christian yet.

When we say christian baby, we mean baby jesus christ

Well you see rebirth

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.
