This moment is so dear to me I want to cry. First of, Grace is so gentle with him? Something something kindness literally saves the world (two worlds, in this case). Also, you just KNOW that Grace is that teacher in whose classroom the kids go to cry when they feel like the whole world has turned against them.

But secondly, "I'm a science human"! Because yeah. None of them is the other's weird alien dog. None of them is the "smart one" (or rather, they both are). They can't do this without each other. They complement each other. They need each other to succeed, there's no other way. That's the whole point! Cooperation! Connection! Working together!

Hope core at its finest.

"I'm Slowly Forgetting Your Face"

Flowers:

Roses - Love

Forget Me Nots - Memory

a scene that really stuck out to me was when the astrophage explosion went off. Grace, immediately and without hesitation, begins absolutely booking it directly towards the explosion. They don’t know if there’s going to be another explosion, or if there are toxins in the air, or whatever. All he knows is there are people he knows in that building and they might not be dead. And that’s enough to motivate him to start running.

That's my theory. If it's wrong, who cares, I love that they added it. It's so cool and such a fun treat to the fans.

Big changes in my sketchbooking life this May. I've been bringing a tiny set of watercolours everywhere with me. Though I'm not really much of a painter (yet!), I am enjoying having the means to easily make a record of the colours I'm seeing. My regular sketchbooks are absolutely not a good surface for watercolour but there's something quite freeing about using the wrong tools.

The weather has been really good where I am the past few weeks, so I've been using my lunchbreaks at work to sit outside and draw boats in the harbour. Which, by the way, is really difficult! I've not spent much time drawing boats before and I feel like my brain gets hot like a laptop with the effort of observation. Anyway,it's been a delightful way to spend time and I hope I'll be doing lots more of it. Ask me again in a year and perhaps I'll be able to draw boats on autopilot.

What if he didn't wake up alone and the crew has to work around Ryland's amnesia and like maybe he over hears a conversation between the two where they distinctly remember Ryland being put in a coma earlier for his safety and they just put two and two together and now they're trying to juggle that massive shitshow of a secret while simultaneously experiencing a very changed Ryland Grace vastly different but oh so similar to when they met him back on earth
