Project Hail Rye 🔞

a concept: Eridian currency is heavy as shit. Grace makes the mistake of introducing Rocky to strip clubs and throwing dollars at strippers. Rocky gets an idea and next time Grace takes off his clothes for him he gets pelted with a large hunk of metal ($100 Eridian dollars)

spiritually relating to Grace panicking in that meeting after he arrived at the naval ship rn, i’m suddenly very aware of being Perceived and i fear it a little, but in a cool and sexy way

@iittlebittlle i’m about to start making the “Rocky is a pet or child” people read the last chapter of PHM and then explain to me how Rocky, who swears and seems to have a blue collar Boston accent is supposed to be a pet or a child

@ryesinspace they don't respect the gracerocky ship bc they don't respect rocky as grace's equal and therefore think shipping grace with rocky is something gross and wrong, they view rocky as a pet or a child. that is a grown ass rock with dick and balls that they're infantilizing lmfao

got this comment on my ao3 gracerocky art. tiktokers try not to be weird and rude about grace and rocky being shipped together challenge impossible 🙄

@theprojectmary oh my god that’s EXACTLY how i feel! it’s like i’m directly responsible for pissing off Adrian/hurting Grace’s feelings/giving Rocky anxiety and it’s too miserable for me to write 😭 anyone who writes conflict is truly god’s strongest soldier

@ryesinspace Genuinely could agree more- I’m writing my own fic and writing angst has been pretty easy but anything with conflict is so hardddddd like I feel like I’m in the conflict-

When Grace gets to Erid, they can see Rocky’s jewelry under his clothes, and they know that he’s Rocky’s mate almost immediately. Nobody’s judging, they know full well that anyone who goes through such isolation would become emotionally attached to the other person… (1/?)

@xyphophorus oops correction, the Eridian number 34 is ∀ +

@xyphophorus It would be 🎶🎵 ∀ V (it took about twenty minutes of base 6 calculations to get to this so fingers crossed it’s right lol)

thinking about Adrian The Eridian being unbelievably hyped right off the bat that their mate actually brought back a little alien freak for them to have sex with

@sovngarde i want to complain too and say that i recently bought a carton of blackberries and they were clean on the outside, but had mold INSIDE of them 😭 i’m wishing you mold-free cherries :)

God fruit nowadays is a SCAM because tell me why I spent close to nine dollars on a bag of cherries yesterday-literally yesterday-and washed them and now they’re already covered in mold this morning

@idenTlTTlES i want you to know that Grace only knows the untranslated bits are sexual positions because Adrian is doing passionate acted-out demonstrations as they speak. he sees for the first time ever where Rocky has been getting the puppet show thing from.

@ryesinspace Op I need you to know that I am in tears of joyous laughter because oh my God “ increasingly obscene descriptions sexual positions that are unknown to Grace's translator” fucking killed me dead. Oh my God

archiveofourown.org/works/84410421 basically rocky tops grace for three chapters straight. then grace and rocky connect emotionally. then rocky tops for another chapter. it’s made with love by a lesbian who does not know how cis men work. bone app the teeth :)

so uh. while i seem to have my most popular post i’ve made about anything in my 24 years of life actively blowing up, i would like to shamelessly plug my #gracerocky (and eventually Adrian) smut fic :D it is linked below✨

@theprojectmary i’ve been reading Black Hole Fantasy on Ao3 and it’s been an INCREDIBLE exploration of Adrian as jealous/stressed about the presence of Grace! i just can’t do conflict so everyone on my page gets Enthusiastic Adrian

@ryesinspace Don’t even get me started on jealousy Adrian! I love the development of Grace and Adrian relationship!

@Hyena_baboi this was at least 50% of the reason Rocky wanted to go (he did want to save Erid, but he’s an engineer, not a scientist. he was mostly there hoping to get his freak on and got in WAYYY over his head)

@ryesinspace I love that this kinda implies that part of the reason Rocky volunteered to go into Blip A was so he had a chance of meeting an alien to mate lol

@theprojectmary yes!!! i love jealous Adrian, but i also love Adrian who is a freak, and who loves Grace as the savior of Erid and the savior of their beloved mate! they’d probably find him so interesting, and from there it’s a short leap to “passionately in love”

@ryesinspace I absolutely love the idea that Adrian is a freakkkkk, like they would see no issue at all- Adrian is immediately trying to set up dates and romantic night ins for them to keep to know one another better

currently doubled over in pain from period cramps. everyone keeps giving Ryan Gosling’s characters their period cramps, so Holland March will be dealing with mine tonight! i had two alcoholic beverages before realizing what was happening, so it feels appropriate

@callistorbit HIS WEINER IS OUTTTTTT!!!!! :D (this is incredible work holy shit)

…replies, {Is not only reason.} Meanwhile, Adrian is watching them and vibrating with sheer joy. (5)

Rocky looks embarrassed. Grace looks at Adrian, who is a hulking mass of blue rock about the size of a horse, he looks at Rocky. He looks at Adrian again, and back to Rocky. He asks, “Hey Rocky, did you have a kink for aliens? Is that why we’re together?” Rocky… (4/?)
