I feel like Grace would already like hearing you talk about your interest in the subjects and gladly listens to your rambling. But imagine when Rocky joins the team and sees how you and Grace spend your break times, Rocky asks what you’re doing and you explain that you’re reading a book or looking at some famous paintings and admiring the work and its meanings. Rocky doesn’t understand but is still curious and wants to learn about it, so you humor him and decide it’ll make a great way to pass the time between figuring out how to save the universe or whatever.

It takes Rocky a bit to understand that humans like to make up stories, him mentioning that it sounds ridiculous, and he can sometimes get mixed up between “false human stories” (fiction/mythos) and “real human stories” (history). He also gets a little frustrated with “art history lessons” because obviously you only have images of paintings and Eridians can’t see like humans can. But I do think he likes hearing human stories and how different they can be.

He says he likes history more because “It more useful. Tells story of humans and what they do. Not fake.” but he’s lying. When you read Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to him and Grace while hanging out Rocky got really mad at the ending. “Romeo Juliet cannot die! Romeo Juliet mated pair! Take great lengths to reunite and then DIE at end?!?! Bad bad bad! Bad story! Bad ending!”. You jokingly said you’ll read him a fairytale where the characters get to live happily ever after… he thought you were serious and you didn’t want to make him any more sad so you did.

It is really funny when you tell him love stories and you and Grace are either together romantically or are pining because then it comes back around to bite you when Rocky references them when talking about you and Grace. Like maybe Grace was sleeping in and Rocky freaked out and he just goes “(Name) kiss Grace to wake up, question?! Work for Prince and Princess in the tail of the fairy, statement!”. And you have to explain that the story of Sleeping Beauty isn’t real as you shake Grace awake all read in the face.

Based off hit tumblr post:

the martian is like “bring this guy back home!!”

He's not morally against swearing, he said holy fucking shit when he saw the Blip-A for the first time, the only reason he doesn't swear normally is because he trained himself out of it because he teaches middle schoolers. If I'm remembering right, he even calls one of the kids a smartass in his internal narration at one point. He's spent so long not swearing that he's not just going to fall out of the habit immediately.

We know that at some point, he learned Eridian swearing anyway because Rocky swears in the final chapter of the book. And I think he learned most of them when Rocky reamed him out after leaving the taumoeba collector out at room temp.
