Probably got so excited he forgot about the language barrier.

I have kinda hated this drawing for a while, so I decided to go in and fix the parts that really bugged me, especially since y’all seemed to like it so much.

Cue Grace explaining friendship bracelets to Simon.

Simon’s not sure how their conversation got to that but apparently on earth you make bracelets for your best friend to signify that you’re best friends. They’re normally made from beads and cheap string with little charms in shapes like hearts and stars. Easy to break but they do look nice from what Grace has showed him.

So he decides to make one for Adrian.

He managed to find some smooth rocks and Rocky made him some paint and a small chain made from xenonite so the bracelet doesn’t burn in the outside atmosphere. He managed to drill a hole through the smooth rocks, paint some of the dark green and blue, pull the chain through, and wielded the end pieces together.

The next day as Simon and Adrian were talking in the green house, Adrian had their own little spot where they keep Eridian plants that would die in Simon’s atmosphere, when Simon shyly hands Adrian the friendship bracelet. Adrian is a bit confused at first until Simon tells them what it is and how he made it from materials that will hold up when they wear it.

Adrian starts crying so hard.

Simon is freaking out thinking that maybe he upset them in a way, like maybe this was offensive to Erdians, until Adrian just reassures him that they are very happy happy happy. They immediately put it on then start crying about how Simon was also considerate about how big they were and that the bracket also fits and that the both of them were best friends.

Adrian fucking flaunts the shit out of that bracelet.

‘Oh this? Just yknow, a bracelet my pebble made me to show that he loves me. Yeah it’s not a big deal or anything. Oh what’s that? You don’t have one? Couldn’t be me, my pebble loves me. Made it so it won’t burn in this atmosphere and everything. Yeah he put a ton of thought into it. Even has this odd shape on it called a star. Yeah I know that’s not what stars look like but he tried his best! It’s beautiful! You’re just jealous!’

Rocky then starts hounding Grace about wanting one.

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.
