Eridian headcanons!!!!!

I did already make a post about this, somewhat, but a lovely friend of mine (@beloved-cat-gremlin, thanks Anny 😊) informed me off the 16 pages of notes Andy Weir wrote on Eridian biology, so ofc I was all up in and around that shit, and after reading it I wanted to delve into my headcanons about Eridians a little more and expand on them too given the added knowledge I have about their biology now (esp since Andy didn’t go super in depth on Eridian culture/emotions/body language etc, so I’ve taken it upon myself to develop that aspect of their species. He’s basically given me free reign <- deranged), so HERE WE GO

I’ll start off with one that’s already pretty popular; Eridians can purr! It sounds WAY different from how Earth cats purr tho, it’s a much lower frequency and more of a continuous rumble rather than breathy purrs. Although, similarly to Earth cats, Eridians can control the pitch/volume/intensity of their purrs. The specific frequency of an Eridian’s purr also depends on their size - Rocky’s purring is probably closer to that of a cheetah or cougar (did you know they can purr?! You do now!!), whereas Adrian’s would be much lower pitched. Eridians can also continue talking while purring.

Eridians can be twins! This one is also at least partially courtesy of Anny, as she put the idea in my head (hi again bestie 🤗). Twin eggs are also typically genetic, meaning an Eridian who is a twin is very likely to have twins themself when they have pebbles of their own. Since Eridian eggs are basically a jumbled up soup of competing genetic information, sometimes the competition gets so intense that two separate embryos form, that are often identical. These ultra-competitive genes are usually what causes twinning, however the genes from the parent with the twin-gene typically don’t win, and the twins end up looking more like their other parent while the aggressive-twinning-gene stays dormant.

Eridians “cry” and “scream” by emitting a high-pitched wailing sound called keening. Eridians often keen when distressed but will also sometimes do it when overwhelmed with joy. Keening also sounds like a kettle boiling, ironically.

Eridians can also have panic attacks, but they work very differently from a human panic attack. When an Eridian panics, muscles in their carapace cause their vents to slam shut as tightly as possible, making breathing nearly impossible. Since Eridians breathe to regulate their body temperature, panic attacks pose a much greater threat to their physical health than they do to humans, as it only takes a few minutes for an Eridian to start to overheat. Thankfully the average panic attack only lasts about three minutes before their vents split open again, but they can be continuous and hit an Eridian in chains or waves, which is why it’s important for them to seek grounding or calming techniques before hyperthermia sets in.

Despite having little to no feeling in their outer shells, Eridians can be ticklish! The most common sensitive spots are around the mouths on their undersides and their vents, as these are both vulnerable areas. Rather than scribbles, gentle tapping or vibrations are what cause the sensation of tickling. Pebbles are generally more ticklish than adult Eridians, since their shells are thinner and not fully hardened yet - it’s theorized that Eridians evolved this sensitivity as a form of play to teach pebbles to protect their sensitive shells from damage. Eridian tickle fights generally involve pressing their carapaces as close together as they possibly can and purring as loudly as possible - the deeper the vibrations can penetrate, the more it tickles.

Eridians have pet names! Most languages have their own equivalents of words like “darling” and “dear”, but other terms of endearment translate to things like “my song”, “my star/s”, “my sun/s”, and “my [partner’s name]”. Since sound is such a key component of their culture, they can get very sappy and lovey-dovey when talking to each other (think Anakin’s iconic monologue to Padmé in the fireplace scene in AOTC, that’s how Eridian partners talk to each other all the time).

Despite Rocky not being aware of what a hug is, Eridians cuddle! Typically Eridian cuddling involves squishing in really close to each other, and sometimes wrapping their arms around each other - the more arms are involved, the closer the relationship is. Generally Eridian “hugging” is more like spooning. Part of the reason Rocky was so surprised when Ryland tried to hug him the first time is because he was internally going “oh. Oh?! Oh!! We’re THAT close now?!! Oh okay-”. Also he was a tiny bit freaked out by Ryland’s big gangly arms around him, because again, typically arms aren’t involved in Eridian cuddling as much as just being physically close to each other. This type of affection is also pretty much solely reserved for families. The first “hug” scene was the moment Rocky realized Ryland considered him family 🥺🥺

Other common forms of physical affection for Eridians include tapping or caressing each other’s hands/arms (this is like holding hands or a more casual hug for them) or stroking each other’s vents (which is often used to soothe a distressed Eridian - especially since gentle caressing can encourage vents that have slammed shut during a panic attack to reopen)

The awkward fiddling and fidgeting Rocky does with his hands throughout the movie are a common nervous habit for Eridians. It’s equivalent to a human biting their nails/lips (though it does way less physical damage)

Solitude is even worse for Eridians than it is for humans. Their culture is even more centred on socialization than human culture, with most aspects of their lives intended to be communal. Being alone for extended periods of time is often severely detrimental to their physical and mental health, and reintegration can wind up being even more damaging due to the shock

Eridians have their own form of blushing! It’s very different from how humans blush, ofc, since their blood can’t be seen through their shells. Instead, when Eridians are embarrassed or flustered, their vents steam, and slightly hotter/more vapourous air comes out of them. Basically, they turn into living mugs of fresh, hot coffee when they’re embarrassed 🤭 this is also an Eridian’s way of sweating

Eridians also make an annoyed sound called a “whuff”, which is just a very loud exhalation from their vents - think a very dramatic sigh in a human and that’s pretty close lol

Eridians can get “giggle drunk”! Laughing a lot for an extended period of time can make them sluggish/sleepy, and it’s honestly fucking adorable. They stumble around and their legs get shaky, and they usually have to sit down until they can get themselves pulled together

Due to their extremely sensitive hearing, Eridians hate loud noises. But this is also because overwhelmingly loud noises functionally “blind” them, as they can’t echolocate when a much louder noise overtakes their ability to hear

Despite not even being able to detect it, Eridians are bioluminescent! It’s a slight, faint glow that only comes from certain patches on their body, and presumably happens because some of the minerals that form their shells glow in the dark.

Eridian families are extremely close-knit. Pebbles often know their parents’ siblings, grandparents, grandparents’ siblings, and cousins EXTREMELY well. Big extended family gatherings are practically their way of living, and the idea of a “family unit” with only the parents and kids seems odd to them.

Eridians “shrug” by giving their carapaces little wobbles. They basically do a little “idk” dance 🤭

Sometimes pebbles can come out looking absolutely nothing like either of their parents - color-wise. This is something Eridians typically can’t pick up on, but Ryland, as a human who can see colors, was definitely a little concerned when Rocky and Adrian’s pebbles hatched and one of them was pale pink, not clay brown or turquoise-y blue like their parents. Since Eridians don’t really rely on physical appearance outside of shape, genes just never really evolved to be super consistent with shell color/texture, so sometimes completely random genes pop up from a couple generations ago (one of Rocky’s parents is a pinkish-white color, so that alleviated Ryland’s anxiety - now he just jokes that Rocky’s genes put up so little of a fight that his parents’ genes had to take over 🤣🤣)

A pebble’s shell is extremely delicate up until their fifth-ish molt, so in that phase protecting them is crucial, as a crushed or cracked shell can, obviously, be fatal. It only takes about one Eridian year for a pebble to reach five molts, and in that time the little ones usually ride around on their parents’ backs for safety, kinda like how some spiders and scorpions do on Earth

Eridians don’t need ultrasounds, since they can “see” through the shells of their eggs. However Eridians will periodically check the development of the pebbles inside their eggs by echolocating.

{slightly nsfw warning!} Eridians do have their own version of sex that stimulates the laying of eggs better. Two Eridians will press their orifices together and generate a much lower frequency type of purr, which is only used for mating (and sometimes foreplay). Certain parts of the orifice are jam-packed with nerve endings that create intense feelings of pleasure when stimulated like this. Mating like this only takes a few minutes, but Eridian couples (especially ones that are actively trying to have pebbles) will often repeat the process up to ten times to get a full clutch of eggs, which are formed between their bodies during the mating process and placed into a nest when they separate. There’s not a wide variety of sexual positions Eridians can do, but the most common ones are the two laying on their sides next to each other with their legs wrapped around each other to keep themselves in place (Eridian missionary if you will), or one partner rolling over on their back with their legs splayed out while the other gets on top - which can be somewhat more dangerous, as it can cause the partner on the bottom to overheat, but for some Eridians, that’s part of the eroticism.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

alagaisia

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

hello-delicious-tea

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

ariaste

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
