Idea: Both Grace and Rocky get annoyed that the other cannot experience the world like they can and try to come up with ways to compensate for the other’s lacking senses.

For instance Grace desperately wants Rocky to be able to experience color so as not to think so many motionless sights are boring. To reveal the hidden beauty afforded by human sight. So he starts working on a higher definition version of Rocky’s flat image to textured surface visualizer. He devises to use micro-textures to stand in for color, interviewing Eridians to come up with pleasing patterns to simulate colors based on the emotional associations those patterns evoke, like synesthesia in humans. For instance how red is “warm/passionate/exciting” blue is “calm/cold/deep” and so on. Gathering enough patterns to make a beginner palette and then finding ways to interpolate and blend between them to come up with enough colors to fill the entire spectrum. It takes several tries and misses but when Grace gets it nailed down and the Eridians can “see” they are THRILLED by it. The whole world takes on hidden depths. They would all immediately want to know what colors they are. They would probably extrapolate off the existing microtextures to start coming up with new “colors” all their own. Adding patterns to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums. Incorporate them into fashion and entertainment media. Have a field day with the new way of experiencing the world.

Meanwhile Rocky is stricken by Grace having such a narrow pinhole view of the world compared to what his echolocation awareness affords. Grace can’t feel the expanse of everything. Or see the tiny microfine details. Grace’s sense of sound and of his surroundings is so FLAT. So Rocky brainstorms to find some way to express the volume of it all and arrives at Haptics to let touch make up the difference. Before Grace knows it he’s got pads strapped to his chest, his shoulders, arms, head, back of the neck, belly, groin, all the places. Wherever he has sensitive clusters of nerve endings that will help him feel the topography of the noise against his skin. The first time Grace gets the full effect of it it’s like WAY too much and he has to quickly escape and convince Rocky to dial it back majorly before he can go again. It takes some time to work up to, but when he manages, Grace marvels at how different soundscapes FEEL different ways, some perceived more across his back or his scalp or in his chest and others better distributed across the whole of him in ways that elicit anxiety or calm. Neutrality. Intensity. Joy or sorrow.

But ESPECIALLY it would give him a newfound appreciation for the Eridian’s musical language. How different intonations elicit unexpected emotions and certain words and names just FEEL good across your skin or carapace. How unexpectedly powerful and even intimate speech can be when you feel it so pervasively.

women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.

So you know.

This might be the real one, y’all.

My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.

If all you ever do is step 1, not only did you not apologize, but people will rightfully stop believing you and start getting pissed or hurt.

There's a whole generation of kiddos who spent formative years isolated during COVID. They never learned basic social skills like this, and now they're teenagers & young adults.

Combine that with the phenomenon of iPad kids and we're rapidly losing the ability to co-exist peacefully as a society.

thinking about that illustration of solitude vs loneliness in which solitude is a dog peacefully holding its own leash & loneliness is a feral dog fighting against the restraint of the leash & feeling slightly insane

Wukong wants to try out a new human tradition on Macaque!

quesocheeso

Primordial au: I think once the truth is revealed, everyone else will be concerned or angry ( in Wukong's case) as to why Mac would go to battle with a baby on the way.

Also, if things had gone Macaque's, how would he reveal his pregnancy anyway?

It’s funny cause Macaque is actively trying to dip anytime things get a lil too hard in the AU but he keeps getting pulled back in by everyone and the stress they give him when they’re being reckless lmaooo

He wasn’t planning to confront a primordial god at all,,, he didn’t even wanna confront anything but MK and Wukong just had to pull up when he’s trying to discreetly leave town😭😭😭😭 they kinda just scruffier him and threw him into the car lmaoo

Hmmm me thinks for the second question that Macaque wouldn’t have revealed anything, he’d just pull up like a year later with an infant😭😭😭

He’d go like this is my kid😎👍 (only Wukong would be having a crisis cause he’s like is that my kid??? That’s definitely my kid right??? (Everyone else assumes he just picked up a kid from somewhere and Macaque would not correct their assumption lmaoo))

Sketchy sketchy boom boom💃💃💃

Reminder that the label NSFW (or versions like nsft) is not a moral judgment. "Not safe for work" literally means "if your boss glanced over and saw this on your phone or computer screen, you could get penalized or fired." That's why nudity is labeled as NSFW because even if nude bodies aren't inherently sexual, your boss probably still wouldn't be thrilled to see naked people on your screen.
