My Succulent Lived For Like, 3 Months

thought: grace picked up cigarettes in college and quit shortly after the denmark incident to save money and thats why he's always fucking chewing on something

Eridian Grace who barely kept the shipping running and doesn't know what to do when the taumeba leak, sitting in space waiting to die. Not even entertaining the idea that Rocky will turn back (because Grace knows hes notice and he knows Rocky will be able to fix it) because hes spent his entire life playing second fiddle to romantic relationships and doesn't believe for a moment that Rocky would forsake his mate for Grace. Eridian Grace tries very very hard not to feel bitter about it. and then Rocky turns back anyway and Grace tries very very hard not to feel guilty.

"Grace and Rocky saved two planets of intelligent life." Yeah, so did Eva Stratt btw. Do you know how much caffeine that woman must've been on to get major power on earth to coordinate, to organize the world's first interstellar spaceship in just FOUR years, and you know,,, to tie her best friend to the train tracks and blast him to space. Yeah Grace and Rocky did all that. But holy shit Stratt did all that too.

“there’s an ai tool for that” okay ?? there’s probably an ed sheeran song for it too who gives a fuck

should be able to leave kudos on scientific studies. i liked your paper dude keep at it

sorry, Dr. Dude

Dude et. al.

need y'all to know that most academics have publicly searchable email addresses and this not only makes their day but they can put nice emails in their giant packets for applying for jobs or tenure. "hi i read your paper for a class and it was very helpful, im at xyz college and the class is blah with professor blah" is sufficient and ENORMOUSLY helpful

It seems that, once again, when you can't kudos, commenting is the way to go

stop deactivating

i thought we all agreed we were here forever

I imagine rocky puts grace's amnesia problems down as a "probably normal for humans, they forget stuff all the time" thing for a while and it doesn't set in until maybe a year into the erid trip that, no, losing straight up All of your memories for several months is just about as concerning and unusual for a human as it would be for an eridian. and his immediate reaction is twofold: 1. "you. you were that brain-unhealthy for the entire time we were working together and you just. barely ever mentioned it? Why. Question." 2. [sudden recollection of every time he got short of temper and said something bitchy like "lazy human not know how own ship function" or "how grace forget location of basic controls question"] [curls up on the floor in embarrassment] "should have said something so I not spend two months making fun of brain injuryyy"

#I KNOWWWWW i remember reading the line where he insulted him for not knowing how his ship worked and being like DUDE give him a break???#it's out of pocket regardless i mean he's the science specialist not an engineer or a pilot#but just. rocky#rocky....#rocky
