local plant ghost

my ex used to get pissed off every time i showed them this video they would be like "that's not how a train works" really angrily and storm out of the room

oh nothing just thinking about dr ryland grace’s nerdy, very middle-school-teacher coded, science t-shirts

k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace “hunt” him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isn’t trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes

Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.
