Random Stuff

Original post by @morallygrayautisticscientist here, this post was so funny I decided to draw it lol.

Panel by panel below:

Rocky and some of the parents act as chaperones since even young Eridians are too heavy for Grace, depending on how old he is. Even though all his students ask for is to be picked up.

He has to clean his house since everyone wants a tour and he has to explain the things they sent him from Earth. Like clothes. And coffee mugs.

They play tag on the beach while Grace explains how the dome is temperature/pressure controlled. The parents ask him about their kids grades. Grace gets asked to do parent teacher conferences in the future.

His students ask if they can take him on a field trip next to see their homes and Rocky has to explain how much air Grace would need for a trip like that, so probably not.

But suppose the problem is not that simple. First, pulling the lever will most certainly kill the man but it will not guarantee the survival of Earth. In fact, the chance Earth will be saved is slim, and many of those 8 billion will die in the process. You are the trolley operator. Do you pull the lever?

It still isn’t that simple. The man tied to the other track isn’t tied down at all, in fact he does not know he is part of the dilemma. You will have to tie him down yourself. You are the trolley operator. Do you pull the lever?

But wait, there’s something you are forgetting. The man you must tie down and murder is your second in command, your best friend, your platonic soulmate. You love him. You know he will refuse to be the sacrifice. You watch as he begs and pleads for another way, betrayal in his eyes. He writhes as you give the command to sedate him, and prepare to tie him to the tracks. He goes limp, and you do not cry. He will hate you for the rest of his short life, and you will deserve it. Even so, you know you are doing the right thing.

And I propose.

Since Eridian brains seem better with memory and such.

(I wonder if, because their brains are basically a big crystal, the reason their memory is so good is because it literally gets carved into the crystal so they can revisit it whenever with no problem.)

Imagine they manage to basically transfer Grace's consciousness into crystal brain into Eridian body.

and suddenly Grace is one of the smartest bitches on Erid (not that he wasn't already smart, or that the Eridians didn't already view him as smart, but now they have an easier way to comprehend how smart he is) because he no longer has the feeble flaws of a human brain with it's weird memory and stuff.

Rocky when Grace is human: This is my very smart, squishy alien friend.

We're on Erid, and Grace is expecting Rocky for their daily walk on the beach. Only today it's not the beach; the environmental engineers tasked with developing the Earth Dome have released a patch of forest for testing, that they're going to explore. Grace is about vibrating with excitement, and kind of a mess when Rocky loudly knocks on the front door-glasses askew, only one boot on yet, the usual.

He thinks it's lack of sleep at first, making him see double, but no, that's two Eridians on his porch. Rocky says "Grace, Grace I brought Adrian to meet, I made a suit for them look!!!" Adrian hums a greeting. Grace says, "nope", and slams the door in their face. Distress noises from Adrian. Rummaging and curses from inside the house.

Grace whips open the door again, and now his hair is brushed, his glasses sit straight on his face, and he holds out a little round sphere of colored glass. He blurts:

"Rocky named a planet after you. This is Adrian." Pause. "I'm Grace. Nice to meet you!" Pause.

I think people are missing out on some very funny aroace discovery shenanigans. Imagine Grace's previous partner being annoyed that Grace is treating them like a REALLY good friend instead of a romantic interest and sexual partner and having his "head in the clouds". And Grace still in the events of the movie not realizing that theyre aroace and thats probably why the relationship fell through, because she was looking for something else in a partner.

Like this absolute ditz of a man is confusing every person he reels in with his absolutely lovely being. He has everyone in the movie at some point going, "What are we?" Lmao. Something about the concept of being "unattainable" being incredibly attractive to a lot of people.

Grace's Ex, a few hours after one of their first dates where they watched a movie at their place:

Omg he didn't make a move once! And we had deep, engaging and funny conversations! He's such a gentleman!

The Project Hail Mary Crew watching this disaster of a golden retriever, fumble his way into their hearts:
