I Am Who I Am

You ever think that in the middle of an argument, Grace once reminded Rocky that from a physics point of view, gas is considered a fluid, so whenever he cycles ammonia through his vents, Rocky is technically leaking fluids everywhere, and how close do you think Rocky was to threatening to kill them both

I'm reading the book again and it's written that the water inside Rocky's body is still liquid at 210°C bc of the atmospheric pressure which means that when he went to save Grace in Grace's atmosphere, ROCKY WAS STARTING TO BOIL FROM THE INSIDE. AND THE BOIL WAS TERRIFYINGLY COLD TO HIM.

It’s always something with me

What the fuck even are Eva Stratt's qualifications what was her job before she got assigned to saving the world???? What did she do that made the entire UN go "yeah put her in charge" I would nuke Antarctica to see her resume

alligator and crocodile :]

They're In Love btw.

Shoutout to Eva Stratt, the only fictional woman I have ever seen who does terrible terrible morally grey crimes directly to the beloved male protagonist, and everybody loves her and draws beautiful fanart of her and calls her their favorite character. PHM fandom has its flaws but at least most people I've seen actually like women.

"oh but Grace isn't canonically aroace it's just fanon!! You can ship him romantically!"

???

i like grockdrian in the way that grace did not even realize he was adrian and rockys third, he was just spending his days going "wow, im so glad rocky and adrian are always here for me..... i really like them" and then just doesnt think further than that (or questions why he likes them so much), but from rocky and adrians perspective they have been married to this leaky alien for quite a while now

I NEED TO GO TO THERE

Imagine if nonbinary, androgynous, genderfucky, etc people started saying this exact type of thing, but about constantly being assumed to be a binary gender based on appearance.

Oh but of course that would be totally completely different and somehow unacceptable compared to this, because exorsexism isn’t actually as bad as other types of transphobia (or even real at all!), and plus we all know nonbinary dysphoria just isn’t real and only Real Binary Transsexuals can experience the suffering that is gender dysphoria (/sarcasm)

Seriously though, I’m almost certain people who think like this have never stopped to consider that the type of presentation they may find joy in would be absolutely miserable for another flavor of trans person, even though clearly they’ve considered the reverse. These people are so self centered it’s unreal

adrian: obviously grace and rocky have a deep bond that i can't really fully understand from being alone in space saving the universe

grace: obviously rocky and adrian have a deep bond that i can't really fully understand from being married for almost two centuries

rocky: hello eriddit. i (302M) have two mates (337X) (40M) who are both brilliant scientists. i love them both very much and was very excited when they started courting each other. however WIBTA if i thought they were too close? like i'm no slouch or anything, i'm an engineer, but you get these two talking about origin of life research and it starts going WAY over my carapace —

the relationship between a girl and the local public library is intimate and divine

"Did you at least kiss the brick before you threw it?"

Eva Stratt did. She packed Grace with his funny science shirts, memorabilia from his kids, ensured he was cared for and protected and then blasted him into space. And she would have done it again.
