"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Every single labor protection is written in the blood of those who were literally worked to death, and business owners and profiteers would claw those protections back with glee if they could. They will squeeze every red cent from your body if they are allowed, and write off your death for an insurance payout that they'll try to pocket for themselves while hiring your replacement for half the pay they gave to you.

What I envision for Grace is this. He would have been a normal guy if he'd stayed on earth. As a baseline, he is not a monsterfucker or an alienfucker. He's not even really into other humans because he can only get the hots for someone if they've established a soul-baring level of emotional intimacy first, which is impossible because he's allergic to vulnerability. On the flip side this means that on the off chance that he establishes a soul-baring level of emotional intimacy with someone, he's going to have the hots for them no matter what the genital situation is. If Rocky had been a cloud of sentient algae he would have wanted to do it in the cloud. However Grace doesn't know this. He thinks he must have had some kind of latent alien fetish and that's why he was so bad at relationships

#yeah. #it bears repeating! he is not self-aware enough to realise ANY of this. #he thinks he's a completely normal dude and everyone does sex and relationships the way he does (badly) #then he meets rocky and he's like ohhhh got it. it must be the alien thing. that's what was missing. i've been into aliens all along. #NO IDIOT YOU JUST LIKE HIM. AS A PERSON. <- prev

i think the funniest possible permutation of grace/rocky is if grace is demisexual but never got emotionally close enough to anyone for sex to feel like more than a mostly-unobjectionable chore. so when he starts developing Those Feelings for rocky it hits him like a meteorite and he's like. oh god. what is this. have i just been a massive repressed xenophile all along. do i have a geology fetish. am i gay. well rocky's not actually a man so it's probably not that. but what if i am.

It's fine to disagree with the IAU about the definition of "planet"; however, if your definition includes Pluto but not Ceres, Orcus, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris or Sedna, you don't actually care what a planet is – you just want the exact list of nine planets you learned in primary school back. Your cute little Pluto-including orbital distance mnemonic ought to be at least seventeen words long, and good fucking luck with the Q!

I appreciate that you included Salacia but not Charon – really threading the needle pedantry-wise there.

"Kiwi is like 35-40 though" yeah what's not clicking.
