* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest as I should; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him feeling safe. He said my “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard young ones singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got water temperature better. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when he’s IN the Petrova Line, and he’s having a moment. Because it’s beautiful. It’s destroying galaxies, uncountable lives, but it’s still beautiful.

it is specifically his lack of relationship that gives stratt the ability to whisk him away to work on the hail mary. in every aspect of his life he is seen as replaceable.

take him out of his classroom. there are other teachers. put him in a hazmat suit and see if astrophage kills him. there are other biologists. fly him to a military base to work. there's no one wondering where he is. (not even a dog.)

it's a critical part of his story that his life is perceived as lonely, as sad, and that its not a problem to uproot him, solely because there's no one waiting for him at home. stratt knows this, knows the optics of it, and knows that it makes him a better candidate than anyone else.

so little consideration is given to grace's life by anyone - he barely even considers it himself until it's too late. and that's so real, so important, because i promise you every aroace person in your life knows how it feels to be dehumanized, and seen as less-than, to be seen as disposable, because you want to live your life a different way. because every single one of us would have fought stratt tooth and nail to not go up on that ship and we all would have lost.

Bruce is well liked by Jon, obviously, and thus Jon is very well behaved for his best friends dad. Kon and Kara are chilling mostly. No metas in Gotham means the Kyrptonians are tasked with just laying low and hanging out until the families swap back. The most exciting thing that happened is Jon hanging out with the Batcow and Bruce taking photos.

Jason, who's looking down at his phone, walking past them,
