You make first contact with an alien and they’re so strange. Tall and thin, with too few limbs. Porous. Frail. So cold. They can only see/hear things that are right in front of them and they get disoriented when you’re even a little to the side of them. You have no idea how these things even survive, but once you learn how to decipher the alien’s strangely harsh chirping language you discover that they’ve been exploring space much longer than you have. Apparently it’s because they can sense signals that you only recently discovered, and they rely on those signals for every part of life. You are Rocky the Eridian and you have just met a human.

the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.

you can tell jud is a catholic because he keeps feeling guilty and confessing to stuff he's not responsible for
