I could never find the right way to tell you, have you noticed I've been gone?
âyou donât even have a dogâ vs grace willingly staying on erid (despite never seeing a human again aka no wife kid or dog) because heâs fulfilled in the ways that matter to HIM. community that supports him despite him being an âoutsiderâ, teaching younger minds about science, and a best friend who loves him enough to get to his house early every morning so they have time to sit on the beach
Iâve seen so many posts about persistent predator Grace who freaks out Eridians, but what about Ediriands themselves?
Like okay, he got used to Rocky, so he can single him out most of the time even if heâs blending in pretty good. But what about new Eridians? Those whom his eyes are not trained yet to find?
Just imagine Grace waking up during the dome maintenance period and going for a walk as usual. He drinks his engineered coffee (tastes awful, but itâs the atmosphere that matters), looks at the waves and enjoys the quiet morning.
And then all of a sudden the beach begins to move all around him and heâs surrounded from all sides and oh my gosh Iâm gonna die. Of course his brain catches up pretty quickly, because new Eridians are very loud with their excited thrills, but that first moment of panic will stick with him for a long time (and trigger a new obsession with Eridians evolution lol).
and out of the darkness - you you you you you

The Eridian science teams try soooo hard to be soooo normal about Grace. "He helped save our entire planet, we cant experiment on him!" "Hes a whole ass intelligent being, the biodome isnt like a zoo enclosure at all we swear." "Rocky might actually kill us if we try and add enrichment things to the biodome just to see what happens. It'll seem like an insult to Grace's intelligence."
Meanwhile Grace is just waiting in anticipation for someone to ask for a chunk of his hair or something. Hes lowkey curious as to what theyd find. Hes fine with being a creature to them its chill he gets it as a fellow intellectual and all around curious guy who insisted on watching Rocky eat.
One day he breaks and asks rocky like an insecure teenager "do they not think im interesting? đĽş" and suddenly rocky is forcing them to do experiments they had never even thought of bc his grace is in fact the most interesting and incredible guy around.

Turns out you can win at tagging.
#phm#HE HAS A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT FETISH TRUST ME#source: trust me.#i mean rocky would still get mad bc heâs territorial but grace would be SO fine with being the subject of a benign little experiment
#literally who doesnât love surprises and packages.#It even works with the design of the biodome! Shit washes up on a beach! It enhances the realism!#project hail mary#let him BEACHCOMB
eridian scientists (zoologists? anthropologists?) making lists of "natural" human behaviors -- which in this case I think would mostly mean ancestral human behaviors, because your average modern human isn't exactly recieving a standard of enrichment that would pass an ethics board -- that they can try to encourage via his environment, but like, maybe not totally understanding the nuance of which behaviors are learned and which are innate? like, they get him to run and swim fairly easily, and hiding treats around the enclosure is successful in producing foraging/browsing behavior, and he even starts to collect some of the carefully synthesized earth-specific minerals and plant-like objects they've put in there! but several people on the advanced behaviors team are absolutely distraught that he's done nothing to process these materials after collecting them, not even after he found the reproduction stone-knapping site and the pre-drilled warp weights they made for him!! clearly something is terribly wrong and he's about to drop dead if they don't figure out why immediately
iâm starting a collection
the collection grows!!!!!
Donât forget this one.
The pear caveman one always gets me. @thealphapigeon you always make me laugh when I need to
I wonder how aliens will react to our communal grooming instinct? Like when you see something stuck to your homieâs clothes/skin/hair and itâs driving you nuts and you just gotta be like âhold still, lemme get that for you real quick.â
One time when I was a kid, I had a science teacher with a snake as a class pet, and said snake was almost done shedding. There was one little bit of dried skin stuck to its face and I was like, âwould it hurt him if I pulled that off?â And the teacher said, âyes it actually could, itâs probably still attached to living skin if it hasnât come off yetâ and I was like âoh, sorry,â and he said, âthatâs okay, you were just wanting to do the primate thing.â And damn, thatâs such an accurate descriptor.
Anyways I hope aliens donât mind me/my descendants having the urge to pluck stuff off of them. If they ask, weâll have to tell them itâs a trait we evolved to survive ticks.

An alien species that relies very heavily on chemical signals and scents to identify people being completely baffled by humans because of how many perfumes, deodorants, fabric softeners, shampoos, creams, toothpastes, and even breath sprays we dump on ourselves every single day because we hate how we smell naturally. (These aliens could be entirely blind or just have the equivalent of face blindness despite having generally good eyesight, Iâm not picky)
We humans consider it disgusting and disrespectful to show up a formal event smelling like natural body odour. We scent EVERYTHING just to not have to smell like ourselves.
The aliens often gets terribly confused on whoâs who as a result of our efforts, much to their dismay, especially when it comes to diplomatic meetings. One day their human friend changes their shampoo and suddenly doesnât smell like them anymore or someone borrows someone elseâs perfume and now thereâs like four people who all smell exactly the same. And the poor alien is trying so hard to not lose track of who they know and who they donât but itâs the equivalent of trying to find your friend in a crowd while wearing a headset with psychedelic visuals playing on it, theyâre just super disoriented.
And whatâs more, some smells for the alien are used to signal willingness to breed, so some human wearing a fancy perfume they like is the alien equivalent of wearing lingerie to a board meeting and itâs super distracting and more than a little embarrassing to try and be conversing professionally with someone who smells like âSEX ME UP SEX ME UP SEX ME UP-â
Thankfully, this problem gets brought up relatively early and human diplomats are assigned specific scents in little vials to help identify themselves.
Humans are space orcs idea ive been tossing around in my head, but what if aliens were creeped out by human hands the way humans are creeped out by arachnid legs?
Like, we have absurdly dexterous and nimble fingers, theyre a big reason why we were able to forage more food, make better tools, and advance as a species. Theyre a vital part of how we interact with the world and each other.
But what if aliens saw us typing something or tying shoelaces even and were immediately put off by how these appendages move? Too fast, too disjointed, and each finger can do its own thing? It just strikes them as wrong, unnatural movement the same way we look at arachnids moving and have a visceral reaction to it. (I know not everyone is freaked by how arachnids move, even im not usually upset by it. But sometimes ill see one run and it just.... ugh)
Imagining alien horror movies about humans, and it becomes a trope that the human plays piano or something similar and the shots just focus in on the humans fingers gliding across the keys.
Imagine human diplomats having to wear mittens or something similar to cover their hands when first meeting new species to avoid disturbing or scaring them.
I love the headcanons of everybody on earth reaction to the beetles. but please imagine like 100 years down the line some random school kid being forced to do history (because that teacher managed to get to the topic first) homework on the whole thing.
like the regular kid enthusiasm of yeah that Grace guy met an alien, cleaned the sun blah blah blah. Eridians are regular visitors on Earth and it's boooooooooring.
and then the kid opens Wikipedia and that asshole is all over the thing. no easy essay of important person invented important thing that is so important that I have to write some bullshit on it. nope.
guy pops up all over the history section. yeah sure. diplomacy? wait wasn't he an astronaut. biology? what? oh he had PhD in something biology. oh he named astophage "astophage"! is that the end of an essay? oh no it continues. xenobiology, xenolinguistics, all the space exploration and, oh, a first contact! are we done yet? no. fuck. wait, metallurgy???? wtf is this dude doing in the metallurgy section. wasn't he a biologist?
and then some kids would get a little bit into it and read through early life section to find oh he got kicked out of his field for being a weirdo alien guy. oh that's a great story! with the hard work and the incredible strength of the will he proved everybody wrong!
no wait
he was just some scrungly guy that got dragged kicking and screaming into this whole bs just to pull the most lock tf in in the history of locking tf in
wtf?!
and then they dig deep enough to find the video logs
so every year. without missing the beat, few kids get totally obsessed.
#phm#project hail mary#ryland grace#and his loooooong Wikipedia entry#that would be such a fun read#full of plot twists xD#and such a nice spring board for a deep dive into Petrova taskforce and whole phm#like#the thing was as complicated and bigger than the Manhattan project#but the end result was like opposite on all levels#so this is equivalent of somebody digging deep enough to find all the fun facts about Richard Feynman#if we are keeping with project Manhattan territory#or more local for me analogy would be Maria SkĹodowska-Curie#boring boring boring historical saints set in bronze#unless you start digging#text post#nocek blabbles#sorry I'm still like obsessed
nasa employee: this guy hasn't interacted with humans in like 20/60 years should he really be giving interviews?
nasa employee 2: ehh just give him some media training and it should be fine
this is more of a silly one bc i just wanted to draw grace in a suit ^^
ânever kill yourselfâ is such a funny phrase to me that i think itâs accidently started working. its like an affrimation. say ânever kill yourselfâ enough times as a joke and maybe you wonât try to kill yourself over minor inconviences anymore
i made this image for the express purpose of this

Rocky bringing Grace to Erid but in his haste to get them to start working on the food problem he forgets to describe what Grace âlooksâ like, so the Eridian scientists and doctors eager to meet the alien open the door and what lurches out is a tall long horrifically thin shape with protruding teeth crowded around a wet orifice, long limbs that bend and sway oddly tipped with creepy long fingers made of dozens of little bones, organs on full display and a squishy loud body
Pov youâre an Eridian meeting an alien for the first time
Comic based on a post I liked a lot
Rocky bless your heart never change
