robotrocky:robotrocky:I love the idea that Eridian’s have no concept of a “soul” the way humans do, and don’t really have a similar cultural touch point. Mostly bc I love the idea that Rocky learns the term “soulmate” and is now doing everything to reverse engineer how that can be possible between him and Grace. Anyways after a cultural and theological rabbit hole that was less informative then he would like, Rocky finally asks Grace about it and Grace is like “well, Rock, I don’t think they exsist, it’s just a way for anxious humans to cope with the unknowns of life.” To which Rocky internally is like, Alright to I gotta figure out how to TWO people who don’t have souls can be soul mates. Got itThey get to Erid and Rocky is like “we are Soulmates and if you seperate us it would literally kill Grace. Who is already dying as we speak. And also it would be soooo culturally insensitive to all of humanity and thus the alien who helped save our stars. :/“Some time later when Grace is more recovered he’s talking to some of his health team like “:) it’s nice you guys let me spend all this time with Rocky in my biodome despite all of the various things you likely need him for” the whole team is like”??? Uh yeah. Of course, We don’t want you to die???” and Grace is like haha what :) -> *medteam relays what Rocky said* -> “HE SAID WHAT.”
