happy belated birthday blue rat

I mean full-on khaki-shorts-wearing, traversing-wilderness-with-nothin'-but-a-machete Adrian who yoinks snakes outta trees and pets swamp puppies and will unflinchingly dig around in elephant faeces for signs of a rare parasitic tapeworm if needed.

Oh, humans eat socially? No problem, Adrian has observed many many animals eat. Did you know that an obscure species of small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid also eats socially? Adrian can give you a not-so-short presentation on them.

Oh, the human has no external carapace and so its internal sounds are absurdly loud, wet and off-putting? No problem, Adrian was just conducting an expedition last month researching the incredible eridian animal, the Wet Loud Worm from the south-east region of Wet Loud Wormland. They're desensitised, it's fine.

Oh, Grace leaks often from many orifices and it can be a bit of a learning curve to get used to? No problem for Adrian, see Wet Loud Worm paragraph again!

and like. to be clear, it's a good movie.

but I'm kiiiindddaaaa thinking that maybe some people saw that Grace didn't have family/close friends/a significant other on earth and said 'yeah! that guy's aroace!'

He asks me "Sister, where should I go?"

I tell him " Twitter doesn't work anymore. Bluesky is not real and so isn't the other one. There's nowhere left. you're too late"
