BloodyMary On The Rocks Concept
I love the idea of Bloodymary on the rocks, its just kinda cute
But I really love the idea of Rocky finding Grace, and Simultaneously, Adrian finding Simon.
Adrian finds Simon on the blood moon and extracts him, bringing him back to Erid with their close range space team.
All the classic Simon waking up on Erid stuff happens, but without Grace. He freaks out. Even more freaked out by the fact that Erid is pitch black nearly 100% of the time, the only thing to light it being the sun 40 Eridani, and at night, the stars.
So slowly, Simon begins to trust the Eridians and they build him a better habitat to live in. Ever able to engineer food for him and collect water from nearby planets after recycling his or pulling the water from the blood that was in his ship.
I like the idea of Grace and Rocky falling in love in space, and even more of Simon falling in love with Adrian on Erid.
He doesn’t have a face, so obviously that somewhat puts Simon off, and I like thinking Adrian is fairly big, about the side of a small tree, at least five feet taller than Grace at least, so Simon might have some fearful correlations to another big alien tagging after him. And Adiran tends to make sounds that sounded just like the creaking of the Iron Lung’s hull, or the sounds of the blood ocean at great depths.
But when they do manage to form communication, I imagine Adrian is patient. Mostly because he’s an Eridian of few words. Or at least not as many words as he used to be, when his mate was sent off to space and has yet to return.
Simon appreciates how succinct he is. Though a bit blunt, to which Simon tends to freak out when he’s given the whole truth and no soft cushioning for terrifying realizations (ie, using his own flesh for reproduced sustenance, losing his arm, being told he seems to have some mutations when he’s unconscious) , Simon can always be assured that Adrian is telling the truth, and will give him choices.
Adrian confides in losing his mate on the mission to cure their stars of StarEaters™ (the translation for Astrophage before they know its called that) and how he has not yet returned, leading them to believe they died. That much too soon, their star will die out and life will go extinct.
Which, yeah, scares Simon, but Adrian isn’t scared, just melancholy. And so he comforted him, awkwardly hugging the big rock with one arm.
I really love Simon and Adrian together as just two chill dudes who care for each other.
That Adrian sits with his legs curled in near Simon to block the artificial sun from his eyes. That Simon leans against Adrian’s carapace to doze off in the middle of the day.
Simon pressing his forehead to the center of Adrian’s flat carapace and a hand against the turquoise exterior.
Adrian hearing the older Eridians whisper of how up his spirits have been since losing his mate. How he talks more, sings more, reacts more, and spends so much time in the biodome with the new alien he is hesitant of letting others interact with.
I just love the soft gentleness of Simon and Adrian, who are on the slower moving side, calm around each other, and yes, admittedly easily frustrated and distracted by their multiple tasks that they can’t decide which to do first.
I think it’s super cute with nervous Simon who instinctively can’t really hurt Adrian if he gets too startled by a nightmare or when he first gets out of the sub. He’s the butcher, so he’s always scared about hurting people when he doesn’t mean to. But he doesn’t have to worry about that with Adrian, because he's only ever cracked his own knuckles against his xenonite suit. He can exist and work through his pain without the fear of hurting anyone else.
I love it. And I think that Adrian would find a way to be able to touch Simon without the xenonite suit because he wants to make this alien his mate, but not without being able to feel his squishy skin first.
So imagine his surprise when his mate makes it back alive, and he’s like.
“Adrian so happy happy happy happy Rocky back- But Rocky needs to be very cool very quick because Adrian found an alien mate when Rocky was away.”
“Me too me too me too- Adrian still love of Rocky life but Grace mate is important to Rocky.”
So they’re like, yeah, we can make this work. Let’s see if your aliens like each other.
And yeah, Simon is nervous about the fact that there’s another alien lifeform to the Eridians that Adrian wants him to get along with and now Simon has to try and get along with Rocky, who speaks way too fast and is very little compared to Adrian (How does that work pebble wise, because Simon has heard Adrian refer several times to how long Rocky had to carry the pebbles and how painful it had been for him- This little guy was taking something proportionate tot eh size of adrian or all ass their mating genitals the same-) And he can try and make it work but if this thing is come weird space snake or eldritch horror thing he might vomit-
So everyone is shocked when double date Tuesday comes along to introduce everyone to each other and Grace and Simon lay their eyes on, not just the only other human being for light years probably, but the hottest man they’ve ever seen.
Its so good man, I have so much to say, so much to imagine with calm and cool Adrimon learning to adapt to their new alien significant other Grocky who bounces off the walls and who feed into each other's chaos
