Sometimes I get annoyed by how many people in the PHM Fandom gloss over that fact that Grace HAD a partner before. Plus the very iconic line "Rocky hate Mark" came from that scene.
I think people are missing out on some very funny aroace discovery shenanigans. Imagine Grace's previous partner being annoyed that Grace is treating them like a REALLY good friend instead of a romantic interest and sexual partner and having his "head in the clouds". And Grace still in the events of the movie not realizing that theyre aroace and thats probably why the relationship fell through, because she was looking for something else in a partner.
Like this absolute ditz of a man is confusing every person he reels in with his absolutely lovely being. He has everyone in the movie at some point going, "What are we?" Lmao. Something about the concept of being "unattainable" being incredibly attractive to a lot of people.
Grace's Ex, a few hours after one of their first dates where they watched a movie at their place:
Omg he didn't make a move once! And we had deep, engaging and funny conversations! He's such a gentleman!
The Project Hail Mary Crew watching this disaster of a golden retriever, fumble his way into their hearts:
Would.
