Students keep bringing interesting artefacts and trinkets to grace and he has a lot of fun with them- then rocky visits and is like 🙂 and grace is like ????

This is a toy for babies isn't it.
And rocky is like yeah that's a rattle babies
@wifedlance Coincidentally Keith has never been in a pillow fight and Keith is completely flabbergasted when Lance starts one. Needless to say. Feathers are everywhere and Allura is pissed. We don’t even know who won. Lance by experience and skill? Keith in stubbornness? It’s anyone’s guess.
this bit always kills me so bad like rocky was punching the FUCK out of that door 😭😭 all while being able to clearly sense that grace was on his way mind you
this scene makes me feel so many things #projecthailmary I love it
1. In Grace's flashback, Yao told Grace "you just need to find someone to be brave for!" which stopped Grace in his tracks like a deer in headlights because who would that be for him? He doesn't have anyone he would die for, not yet.
2. Then we see him pondering "Who would you die for?" inside the Hail Mary.
3. Aaaaand then immediately Rocky bursts into Grace's life & home because the universe had already found Grace someone to be brave for & it was his soulmate Rocky ❤️🩹
i’m pretty sure in the book stratt shopped around for a bit but went to him in the end because apparently everybody agreed that he would have led the field of astrobiology had he not left academia. he was genuinely THE guy for the job
i never really got the common phrase used in horror of "deafening silence,except for the sound of their heartbeart in their ears" until i watched this scene.phm builds up tension so perfectly that even if its not a horror movie it captures that atmosphere perfectly for a few mins
Completely and utterly endeared by the concept of Eridians getting cuteness aggression with Grace. Here's a soft, pliable creature who likes to cover itself in soft material and snuffles in its sleep and has a squishy carapace and likes cuddling. Grace is their space cat.
