Cellulose nitrate was used to make dice from the late 1860s until the middle of the twentieth century, and the material remains stable for decades. Then, in a flash, they can dramatically decompose. Nitric acid is released in a process called outgassing. The dice cleave, crumble, and then implode.

he's terrified, yet his instinct to trust is stronger than his instinct to survive. he's afraid, and he knows he could possibly suffocate to death in that moment, but something in that early meeting calls him on a deeper level to connect with rocky. to trust him with his literal life.

as grace contemplates removing the helmet, the camera cuts back to rocky - who intentionally leans forwardly slowly and clicking cautiously, anxious to see if this kind human is going to trust him the way he does.

cut back to grace and he removes the helmet on blind faith. he exhales overwhelming sighs of relief; the music swells and resolves; rocky chirps and jumps for joy; grace softly smiles, and so does damn near anyone in the audience. the moment is potent and raw. it assures the characters and the audience alike: you can count on me. you are not alone. we can figure this out if we stay curious about each other.

the scene then ends on a wide shot of their two ships bound together, spinning in synchronized centrifugal gravity, over beautiful resolving chords of melody and harmony. it shows us a powerful visual of the birth of their unbreakable physical and emotional bond. dependability and loyalty is built and earned, but these two could actually trust each other with their lives from the very start.

Din: I understand how she can lift me. I’m 67 pounds soaking wet and the only armor I’m wearing is my helmet.

Din: But how is she lifting you?

Actually this gives me a chance to share my thoughts. I headcanon that Jimmy was mostly the one to cook for his family. In 4x20 we see him cook pasta all by himself in the infamous angel test scene, and Amelia only comes back later, perhaps from grocery shopping/work? Then, when Jimmy comes back after Cas is dragged to heaven, Amelia doesn’t have any elaborate dinner prepared, just sandwiches and milk. Perhaps she can cook, but Jimmy was the person who was in charge of preparing their meals before?
