@redbeanpancakes I feel like the same could be said about teaching in the current American school system 😅 It’s a wonder he had any left to work with. Maybe that amnesia drug did him more good than he thought 😂
@originalgaaabs I can definitely see where the shippers are coming from, but I personally prefer them as a Secret Third Thing. I don’t go for longer fanfics with them as a pair, but there’s some lovely Strattland art and comics out there that I like, I guess I don’t mind as much when it’s not
@noahthewise@pvntom That makes sense to me! I haven’t seen Iron Lung but from the Bloody Mary stuff I’ve seen I gather the ending wasn’t particularly happy for Simon?
@grnpurplgrmln@pvntom Right like, if we go by book canon I guess he’s stuck in there, but in the movie we already see Grace go into Rocky’s atmosphere in the xenonite suit when he visits Rocky’s ship, I’m sure Rocky would be able to make more and improved versions to let Grace venture out into Erid
@ADreamerCloud Upon googling the matter, apparently wool takes a really high temp to ignite, way above the temp on Erid, so I guess I was worrying over nothing and any wool creations would be fine in Rocky’s environment - heat-wise anyway, dunno about the pressure
#grocky Hmm… I’ve seen fics where Rocky makes Grace courting gifts out of xenonite, jewelry or more figures… I’m not sure I’ve seen as much of Grace making things for Rocky. I kinda assumed he made the earth hacksack, what if he knit little plush figures and things for Rocky?
@ADreamerCloud I haven’t read the book but I did know that, admittedly it confuses me why a species with a hard exoskeleton/carapace would develop something like a sweater as clothing, but that’s a good point, clearly there’s something soft that can be woven that survives in their environment…
This is one of my personal gripes with a certain ship - nothing wrong with the ship itself, at all, moreso it’s the way sometimes people act like the *only* way for Grace to have a happy ending is to have another human in his life
Blech, feeling weird about seeing people say that Grace didn’t get a happy ending in PHM just because he won’t ever see another human again, as if the Eridians and his *best friend* aren’t right there, yeah it’s sad but he’s not *alone* like people act like he is
@teawithsami Huh, I was just about to comment that I didn’t get a notification about it updating, but I just got it. Guess it takes a while to send? glad I saw the tweet about it updating though :D
@birdynova_ I haven’t read this one ‘cause evil AU isn’t my cup of tea, but I saw it while looking for time travel fics earlier and it sounds almost exactly like what you’re describing here so maybe it’ll be your cup of tea?
@jammmatello Man, that must’ve been a super last-minute change - or else she had it programmed in advance along with the primary and secondary crew’s preferences, in case she ever needed to send him. Though I guess reprogramming a coffee order wouldn’t be the most complex thing.
