“So geeking out about space travel is what does it for you, huh?” Jacob says afterward, before the stickiness becomes quite uncomfortable enough to get off the bed. “I knew there was an astrophysicist buried deep within that grubby biologist exterior.”
“I think you’ll find the biologist is often buried deep within the astrophysicist,” Kurt says, and Jacob punches him in the spleen on principle. Kurt laughs and ruffles Jacob’s hair—which, first of all, Jacob is not a kid no matter how many years or published scientific essays lie between them, and second of all, Jacob knows where that hand has been in the last half hour. Gross.
Kurt sighs and sits up, then hesitates on the edge of the bed. “I wanted to be an astronaut,” he says, and it doesn’t really sound like a joke but Jacob can’t see his face to be sure.
“Didn’t everyone?” Jacob says, thinking of the old dishwasher box he and Jimmy had run ragged across the backyard on their way to Mars.
Kurt stands up. “But here we are, eh?” And when Jacob follows him into the shower, they busy themselves with other things.

MY DARLING SITERLAS! ON THE OCCASION OF THIS, YOUR BIRTHDAY, I GIVE TO YOU: INTERSPECIES CUDDLES. Because despite Jacob’s endless pining and frequent bad decisions, Physics Macaw is rather fond of this particular bringer-of-crackers.
#I don’t know if this shirt exists but I want it #jacob is a fashion icon #and his shampoo is DELICIOUS #oh my god though #what if this is during the skin episode in season one #and jacob has barely entered the physics building when there is an almighty ruckus from the cage in the corner #and jimmy is like what in god’s name is that #but jacob is like OMG :D #and opens the cage door #and there are an awful lot of feathers swatting him in the face #and enough hair ripped out to form a bald patch #but jacob understands macaw’s meaning anyway: #welcome back.
#jacob doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved #but macaw believes he deserves to give it crackers #what if jacob and the physics macaw were HUNTING BROS? #PECKING THE EYES OUT OF UNSUSPECTING WEREWOLVES #they’re already radio show bros #jacob gives it an advice call-in show #’hi physics macaw long time listener first time caller here i finally asked the girl i like out on a date but idk where to take her?’ #macaw’s like #’RITZ.’ #’thanks physics macaw you’re the best.’ #ilu cally #so much #this drawing is such perfection #and they look so happy omfg #jacob probably put cracker crumbs in his hair on purpose
I really want a talk show. Maybe an advice call in program.
“Hello, God? My roommates are pissing me off and—”
“I have smote them. Next caller.”
“Hello, God? I’ve been feeling really guilty about this, and…and I think it’s time I owned up to you. I’ve been lying to everyone and I feeAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH-“
“Next caller.”
Novakcest version: Jacob pretends to be God. The Physics Macaw does all the different callers’ voices.
“Hello, Jacob? Stop being a douche.”
“Dammit Physics Macaw I said no Jimmy-voice!”
“…”

No, please, Jacob, keep telling me about all your problems. They’re fascinating.

UCSD Physicist Uses Math to Beat Traffic Ticket
A physicist at the Univeristy of California San Diego used his knowledge of measuring bodies in motion to show in court why he couldn’t be guilty of a ticket for failing to halt at a stop sign. The argument, a four-page paper delving into the differences between angular and linear motion, got the physicist out of a $400 ticket.
Jacob’s not that bad of a driver, no matter what Jimmy would have you believe.

Jacob stares at the diagram and wonders if the day will come when he can put Jimmy’s name in that area.
