at the beach in every life

fyi to those of you who still haven't read the phm book, you're missing out on some pretty hardcore Yearning after grace & rocky part ways. there's whole chapters of grace like, staring sadly after rocky's departing ship in the petrovascope every single day while thinking mournfully about how great his best friend is and how much he wishes rocky was there, before doing an insane amount of complicated relativistic math to calculate the exact moment when he'll no longer be able to see the blip-a's light in the distance bc he already misses rocky so much. it's great stuff

Child Grace staring out his window wondering if aliens are real while Rocky was already waiting on that ship, pressed against a similar wall wondering when someone would come

*torturing you* dude trust me, something really cool happens. you just have to reflect on it for a bit. i'm doing this because i want you to reach your full potential okay?

book!grace voted funniest character in the history of chronic avoidance. limited food resources, just unsuicided a suicide mission and when he thinks about returning to his planet after 4 years of complete isolation he's like "hmm... no. i think I'll go to venus first. purely practical reasons here. nothing to read into. anyway" like okay man

*introducing myself to the guards who caught me* seized to meet you

worry about it kitten daddy fucked up

I need a blowjob but I don’t have a penis or a strap on and I’m not taking off my pants so you’re just gonna have to figure it out

wiping my cheeto dust hands on your shirt. i want to build a beautiful life with you

can we talk about the fact that grace & rocky (platonically or romantically) are literally the epitome of "loved to the point of invention" i feel sick whenever i think about them. inventing ways to communicate. inventing ways to live together. inventing ways to save the planet. inventing ways to save each other. inventing ways to almost touch. inventing ways to send each other home. it never ends. they love each other so fucking much i feel like throwing up

“you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter” truly one of the best lyrics ever
