Project Hail Mary thought:
i know lots of fic writers have other Eridians saying certain words in threes for emphasis like Rocky does (e.g. dirty dirty dirty, happy happy happy, etc) but what if when they get to Erid Grace finds out every other Eridian speaks normally and Rocky has like⦠OCD or smth that compels him to repeat certain words specifically 3 times, and Grace has started doing it too (theyāve been stuck on a ship together for years what do you expect) so when he finds out heās like āoh shit only Rock does this- wait Rocky has OCD- have i been being ableist this WHOLE TIME????ā and breaks down crying and apologizing but Rocky reassures his leaky space blob that itās fine and he doesnāt mind/thinks itās cute/makes him feel less different.
(iāve only seen the movie, idk what all is canon in the book donāt come at me plz)
