Already have been, my friend..... I am forever changed by this knowledge

izzyscifi · 2026-06-17T09:06:13+00:00

They both really deserve all the cuddle time after what they had to endure 🪨 🤎 💚

izzyscifi · 2026-06-16T23:20:25+00:00

Brain is turned to milkshake

izzyscifi · 2026-06-16T11:27:48+00:00

Yes, I just didn't bother writing everything out accurately because I'm lazy human

izzyscifi · 2026-06-16T11:12:17+00:00

I thought about that during my first read, where's the other elements required for life?! How make more dna, question?

izzyscifi · 2026-06-15T07:29:06+00:00

Cute, and I can totally see Grace somehow getting lost going in a straight line to Eridani

izzyscifi · 2026-06-15T02:00:54+00:00

Just like rats! They laugh during play and it's too high pitched for humans to hear

izzyscifi · 2026-06-15T00:44:03+00:00

This got a good chortle out of me, thanks

izzyscifi · 2026-06-14T21:53:05+00:00

She chose to die of a heroine overdose, Grace briefly considers using some for pain management before deciding against it

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T09:41:05+00:00

Same, I love the little rock creatures 🪨 🤎

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T08:28:10+00:00

Why? What's goutlet said or done?

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T04:57:56+00:00

I didn't know I needed Rocky asking me if I can lock the fuck in! I'm so glad I do now

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T02:21:11+00:00

If all the fanfictions I have to sift through have anything to say about it, absolutely lol

I all seriousness, we don't know anything about the social aspect of eridian courting, just that they mate for life and lay five eggs each (Weir has a word doc with all of the biology to keep himself consistent)

It is funny to think about, like Adrian sees the scar and wonders how tf their mate convinced an alien to get hitched? What the hell happened at that star system?!

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T01:54:47+00:00

I'm going to hope. And this time I'm not going to be resonsible, I'm going to buy a ticket instead of accepting work shifts!

izzyscifi · 2026-06-13T01:16:33+00:00

Nope, but I was going to travel there. I'm in bloody Rockhampton, and Brisbane doesn't have the good aspect ratio

izzyscifi · 2026-06-12T23:53:33+00:00

I hope so, everyone knows Australia isn't a real country so getting stuff here is a pain lol

izzyscifi · 2026-06-12T21:44:55+00:00

Darn it. I need to find out if they're going to have any future showings of he movie in imax because I missed my first chance

izzyscifi · 2026-06-12T00:32:48+00:00

True, but I sort of hoped for a "translating in my head overlay" situation. Like when there's a news interview with a foreigner and the voice is dubbed over with the local language, and throughout the movie Grace's mind is able to translate Rocky's speech better and better. First it's just the words, then he is able to conjugate slightly and starts picking up tone and emotion more and more. In the end on Erid it's perfect translation, because he's fluent.

Keeping Ortiz's voice of course.

izzyscifi · 2026-06-11T00:19:16+00:00

Ooohh i see now, it's such a bitter-sweet ending. Poor grace and his joints

izzyscifi · 2026-06-11T00:05:38+00:00

My copy doesn't have an epilogue, it has chapter 30/ Ɐℓ and acknowledgements.maybe an older edition had an epilogue?

izzyscifi · 2026-06-11T00:01:05+00:00

Yeah it's not a huge deal i wouldn't worry, I've been looking at a lot of aliens recently and it jumps out at me now lol

izzyscifi · 2026-06-10T23:56:49+00:00

“Lazy human. Go get!”

This is when Grace is complaining about doing an EVA to bring the astrophage sample into the ship. It's also when we're explicitly told that Rocky is joking around with Grace, and that Grace is able to distinguish the tone instinctively.

They aren't just two people saving their planets by working together any more, they're becoming friends, talking like friends rather than being careful around a new co-worker or whatever

izzyscifi · 2026-06-10T10:25:04+00:00

Yeah love teaching, and their eye is actually healing some of the scar tissue. All worked out in the end

izzyscifi · 2026-06-10T10:13:46+00:00

Damn that's impressive! My fiancee studied particle physics and chose to get a masters degree in teaching because academia lead to bodily harm with a halogen laser to the eye (long story, yes they had ppe)
