at the end of the day anyone can be good looking but to be hot you have to be kind of a cocky bastard

there's a group of high school boys in this McDonald's and I just heard one of them say "I bet you you cannae break your own arm" so something interesting might happen shortly

SO FUCKING CRAZY about that little "wait- don't go anywhere" bit during the clock scene like. he holds his finger up and rocky immediately copies it, reaching right to the xenonite to get as close as possible. no fear. no hesitation. ☝️<- this means something and I will engage and attempt to understand with an open mind and an open heart. and grace smiles, easy as breathing, and taps his finger back. almost without thinking. he just boop. right back atcha. stay right there. we're doing this. I'm gonna figure this out for you. we're both leaning in no matter how terrifying and unimaginable it is. they have both been through such intense grief and fear and desperation and mind-melting isolation and confusion and boop. here we are. and it's so easy.

remember when linguini brought a rat he found back to his apartment and got all embarrassed and was like it’s not much. to the rat

oh fuck it, i'm not driving. put whipped cream on those strawberries.

Grace and Rocky watching a movie that involves a character having a wound cauterized. Grace is honestly surprised Rocky hasnt said anything or asked a question about the whole thing, (Grace was looking forward to explaining how the process is actually used in modern medicine) But that's cause Rocky is no longer paying attention to the movie and is now trying reallll hard not to have fantasies of cauterizing one of Grace's wounds with his own hands.

i do love grace and rocky forever on the other side of a barrier from each other, how the logistical difficulties of the barrier makes acts of intimacy more intentional than they would be for two people who can just touch each other casually like it's no big deal. but i also just think grace and rocky experimenting with the ways in which they can touch each other again is so interesting. the fact that even under the most carefully controlled experimental conditions, direct skin-to-carapace contact is gonna hurt and damage them both. even with an airtight gasket around one limb, the pressure and temperature differential is gonna hurt rocky. depending on how the minerals in rocky's carapace respond to oxygen exposure, that might damage him too. and depending on whether they go for a quick glancing touch or longer contact, grace is gonna get burnt. and maybe it's only damage in superficial ways that they can easily heal from, but it still hurts. i just love the idea of them both taking control of their bodily autonomy like that, playing jump rope with the concept of self harm. yes, this is damaging to me, but it's a small harm in service of a greater good, and i want it, and it's worth it. and also it's a sex thing.

there are a lot of female characters where you can say that lesbian sex would fix them but it's kind of even more fun when it wouldn't. like clearly she wants to be having it but it would make everything worse and ruin her life. and i would like to see it.

imagine never falling in love and spending your life wondering if you’re broken because you just don’t seem to have romantic or sexual feelings for anyone until suddenly you’re shot into space, meet a rock shaped alien, and are immediately plagued day and night by the overwhelming desire to crawl into his carapace and live there forever

The thing about the timeloop is that once you escape you have to question for the rest of your life whether you should have stayed in

And furthermore the thing about questioning the timeloop is that every day you wake up and you have those same doubts. The same thoughts run through your head, over and over, so constant in the unease they give you that the unchanging becomes a source of paradoxical comfort. Almost like...
