Galactic Magic

May I just say I think this is my favourite scene in the movie in terms of emotions from Ryan.

Grace has just discovered the Taumeba eats the astrophage, he has the literal cure for Earth's and Erid's problem under the microscope right in front of him, he can save everyone!

When you realize the human only likes you because they're not in your circus.

@kaitlyn-imagines the way you write Caine, or System Messages, makes me think of that bladerunner meme in reverse

Rotta is just a polite young man who would like to offer you a cookie in these trying times. I love him 🥰

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.
