the horrors persist but so do i

Been getting really into orange juice lately

When Grace inevitably dies on Erid they build him a statue. It is grand in that it is not towering, but built methodically with the utmost love respect and care. Adrian and Rocky oversee it’s construction and they ensure the Grace depicted not as a godlike saviour but a silly little space blob who taught their planets pebbles about relativity and who learnt to speak a language not made for his body. They make sure he is seen to be kind and brave. Lastly, they ensure an Eridian is carved with him so he will always have someone to watch him sleep.

another teacher grace moment i love is when rocky gives him the oxygen model he goes 'i dont have one of these thank you!' like that is THE most teacher response ever when a child gives them something utterly incomprehensible but made with love

Among the sizeable portion of humanity who would believe the Eridian footage to be faked, I wonder if “yeah, and Dr. Grace went to live on Erid in a beautiful biodome” becomes the new “we sent your dog to live on a farm upstate”

ryland grace joins a star wars erotic roleplay discord on a whim because some random misfiring neuron buried in his subconscious is like "well maybe i could [censored] an alien" and he mostly just lurks there at first, and discovers to his disappointment that most of the people there are just roleplaying the human characters??? nobody wants to roleplay one of the fucking. i don't know, the fucking bug people from attack of the clones with him. and then when someone does agree to roleplay with him, they get their feelings hurt by his extremely reasonable constructive criticism about their speculative xenobiology worldbuilding. the mods keep telling him to chill out, this is supposed to be for fun, but how is grace supposed to have fun when people keep getting their made up alien bug facts wrong. anyway then they have to ban him from star wars erotic roleplay discord because he keeps picking fights with people about like the alien krebs cycle or some shit. do you all see my vision.
