I'd Rather Die A Fool Than Live As A Coward

Knowing that Eridians have much longer lifespans, and also he can't be at every school on the planet at once, Ryland Grace decides to record a bunch of entertaining science lessons with Rocky's help.

Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."

Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.

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

It is IMPERATIVE that Rocky finds doing some things to Grace VERY erotic, but they do absolutely nothing for Grace. Something stupid. Like Rocky being obsessed with Grace's sinus cavity (such complex folds! Like a tiny cave system!) so he likes to shove the pointy tips of his finger in Grace's nostrils (Holes always open! So scandalous!!) to echolocate them better and Grace just. Having to deal with that. Laying on his back dick soft with Rocky's fingers in his nose just. Hanging out. While Rocky has fun.

It is also really important that the same happens on Rocky's end. Grace of course tries to be respectful and all but can't help but project human pleasureable activities on Rocky. Like Grace licking and sucking at his carapace, running his fingers everywhere he can touch on Rocky, and Grace gets so desperate he's panting and dry humping thinking "god I hope Rocky is enjoying this"

YES YOU UNDERSTAND
