One of the things I love about Grace is how he's able to develop this almost instant camaraderie with everyone he meets.

IN LIGHT OF "PROJECT HAIL MARY", "IRON LUNG" SUCCESS, NASA IS SENDING HOLLYWOOD HEARTTHROB RYAN GOSLING AND YOUTUBE PERSONALITY MARKIPLIER INTO SPACE— TOGTHER THIS TIME

Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.

hc that Rocky learns about rhetorical questions and LOVES them. He immediately implements them when Grace makes some sort of fuck-up, and says something like "what did grace think would happen, statement" and Grace goes to answer, then just starts fuming

RIP Anthony Stewart Head, an incredible actor, musician, singer, LGBTQ+ ally and activist, devoted girl dad, and father figure to many of us as we grew up.

As both a science and English nerd, I love the idea that since Eridians are cosexual (am I using that term right? Let me know), they don’t have pronouns indicative of sex or gender but rather state of relation. Like how Rocky says, “friend Grace”, he is stating the relation of the subject to him. And taking it further, pronouns of possession, like Rocky talking to another Eridian would refer to Adrian as, “my Adrian”, and the other Eridian would refer to Adrian as “your Adrian” throughout the conversation. Because the state of relation is that Adrian and Rocky are mates. And that shifts based on who’s in the conversation when the state of relation to who is present changes. Say Rocky isn’t there. Same Eridian, who works with Adrian, talking to another Eridian who works with Adrian. Now it’s, “coworker Adrian” or “<job> Adrian”. Same Eridian talking to another Eridian who doesn’t know Adrian at all, and now it’s dependent on the context of the conversation. It could be, “Rocky’s Adrian” or “coworker Adrian”. If two states share the individual equally, you get “our Rocky” for Adrian speaking to Grace.

I just want a fic where everyone is all ‘why is Dr Grace so grumpy today? He’s normally so sweet’ and Stratt goes to inspect him for like 5 minutes before grabbing scissors, snipping the tag out of the back of his shirt carefully enough not to leave one of those itchy lines behind, and then he’s a freaking sweetheart again for the rest of the day. Like the princess and the pea. And for some reason only her people watching abilities could figure out why.

Was thinking about my other post and how in the book Stratt has to hunt down a scientist and imagine you're Eva Stratt, right, and you are going to some of the best scientists in the best labs in the world and they keep recommending you to this Dr. Ryland Grace and you're trying to figure out which lab or university he must be with and nobody in the field actually knows where he wound up 'after what happenned' they allude, and so you have your guys do their background investigation and track this alleged top molecular biologist down all to find out.....
