big fan of strattland being a little too comfortable in each others' space and weirding everyone else out completely straight-faced

Discussing science stuff

My favourite Adrian headcanon is that they're a biologist/zoologist who has seen so much shit, they're completely unphased by any and every alien habit of Grace's.

I mean full-on khaki-shorts-wearing, traversing-wilderness-with-nothin'-but-a-machete Adrian who yoinks snakes outta trees and pets swamp puppies and will unflinchingly dig around in elephant faeces for signs of a rare parasitic tapeworm if needed.

Oh, humans eat socially? No problem, Adrian has observed many many animals eat. Did you know that an obscure species of small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid also eats socially? Adrian can give you a not-so-short presentation on them.

Oh, the human has no external carapace and so its internal sounds are absurdly loud, wet and off-putting? No problem, Adrian was just conducting an expedition last month researching the incredible eridian animal, the Wet Loud Worm from the south-east region of Wet Loud Wormland. They're desensitised, it's fine.

Oh, Grace leaks often from many orifices and it can be a bit of a learning curve to get used to? No problem for Adrian, see Wet Loud Worm paragraph again!

Meanwhile, Rocky is bewildered as to how he's managed to third-wheel both of his relationships, because both Adrian and Grace are nerds who nerd out about things, and Adrian is shaking in their carapace with enthusiasm to learn more about human culture and biology, not to mention everything about earth animals. And yeah, sure, Grace might be a molecular biologist, but he'll be damned if he'll pass up an opportunity to learn about alien fauna from a fellow scientist, and yes, Adrian, he'd love to hear about the small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid, and he's so excited to learn more about the Wet Loud Worm, do go on.

Ryland meantion to rocky ONCE on the trip to erid about The Paper and his blowup and his insecurities with not being taken seriously in his field

Now, on erid, anytime anyone even makes a small joke that MAY be taken as undermining Grace's intelligence/talents both Rock AND Adrian are ready to throw down for his honor

Eidian 1: How old is Savior Grace?

Grace: oh my math might be a little off, but probably around 35? Maybe closer to 38?

Eridian 2: *looks at rocky and adrian* pebble snatchers lol (joking)

Rocky: YOU INSULT GRACES INTELLIGENCE!?

Adrian: small minded to judge a species with a completely different developmental speed.

Rocky: GRACE IS NOT A PEBBLE! GRACE IS BRAVE SMART CAPTAIN SCIENTIST!!!

Adrian: he is a fully grown adult for his species and he should be treated as such. You will show him respect.

Eridians: ....

Grace: ... pfft pebble snatchers-

Rocky & Adrian: GRACE!

big mate to carry little mates

We've all seen the Adrian designs and the #rocky mate bad as hell statement, both of which I adore. I love that we as a fandom have agreed that Adrian is an absolute catch, but, and stay with me for this, what if they weren't?

We've decided that Adrian is a big, pretty blue/green rock who Rocky is obsessed with, and Grace is intimidated by, but in the same way that we sometimes find hot people intimidating. The complex color, the way light reflects off of the geode structure, and the patterns you can see underneath. Absolutely beautiful, but would Eridians have the same society beauty conventions? They don't perceive color or light, and those inner patterns, depending on the geode, are often viewed as imperfections by collectors. Would Eridians also see those inner imperfections and view them as not attractive?

Much like we are supposed to look at Ryan freaking Gosling as Grace and interpret him as somewhat of a loser within the world of the movie, within the Eridian society, Adrian is considered a catch for many reasons, their size for one, but being attractive is not one of them. The uneven mineral deposits and the way their surfaces are angled affect the way sound bounces of them. It's not necessarily unpleasant, just not overly desirable. Adrian is just as typical as any other Eridian, but they are compared to impossible beauty standards that so few actually meet.

Of course, Rocky thinks Adrian is hot as hell, but he is in the minority, claims everyone else is stupid, so when Rocky brings home this leaky space blob, who seems transfixed by Adrian, Adrian thinks Grace is just being polite towards them for Rocky's sake, but the more time they spend around him, the more genuine they realize he is.

This alien can perceive things that none of their species can, and the blob says everything about them from their color, to the light reflections, to how their inner patterns seem to dance when they move, none of which Adrian can actually comprehend, makes them stunning to look at. Mesmerizing even. Yes, Rocky thinks Adrian is beautiful, but Adrian acknowledges a certain amount of bias there, but this foreign being, whose standards of what is attractive are just as incomprehensible as he is, says they are beautiful in ways that no one but he will ever be able to perceive. Adrian can't help but do whatever the Eridian equivalent of blushing is.
