Have we considered: Grace as Rocky's weighted blanket?

Inspired by the fandom idea of Rocky designing the xenonite suit to help with Grace's touch-starvation during the trip to Erid + the scene in the movie where Rocky says he would usually watch Grace sleep from closer, on his chest

I'm imagining this taking place shortly after their first ever hug-with-the-xenonite-suit session, Rocky's just been clinging to Grace's side all day(s) to keep him company, and this is his first time sleeping since

hi ive been meaning to get around to making a little repository of helpful rocky ref image posts for myself and im using your post as an excuse to do so. hope thats okay :)))

1: aroace-ryland-grace’s phm google drive, including a folder of rocky screenshots

2. rocky 3-d model poses (if you follow the insta link it takes you to the page for one of his character designers where i think some more images of the model may exist?? i, however, am too lazy to leave tumblr)

4. close up images his hands + xenonite weaving tools !!! (i think about this one Often. the xenonite tools. ough) this one also has links to insta pages of various character designers.

5. video from james ortiz’s instagram of the rocketeers testing out the rocky puppet’s hands (including the freaky crab claw of deleted scene fame)

6. gifs of the rocketeers piloting various rocky puppets (i find this one helpful because, unlike the movie, here we get to see our glorious guy in good lighting and not stuck behind a sparkly xenonite wall)

7. rocky detail gifs (closeups of matestone, carvings, xenonite weaving)

8. rocky movement gifs (has one in particular im a huge fan of where he does a spin. also has him climbing, in the ball, and ofc, more xenonite weaving. also one of the few shots of the crab leg that made it into the movie)

might edit this if i find additional useful posts/links at a later date. if anyone else feels like adding their own rocky ref sources in the comments plz do so!! okayyy and with that i should really be asleep rn good night

Pronoun roles on discord servers aren't a bad idea, but there is the fun implication that you can ping an entire pronoun set.

Hey I got a problem with something, this is an all they/thems on deck situation

Had a nightmare where I saw my dad get his skull crushed by a car and the only thing that went through my mind when it happened was who do I call because the only person I could think of was him

#nightmare #complicated relationship with dad tbh

My personal headcanons on Rocky and Adrian's engravings.

When Rocky first introduced himself, he put his front two arms together and displayed these engravings that fit together perfectly. I remembered seeing SOMEWHERE that that was supposed to be his family crest, but I cannot for the life of me find the source of that anywhere. But anyways, here's my take on Adrian's family crest when she introduces herself

Plus, Rocky has a mission engraving on his shoulder, marking him as part of the space crew to solve the Petrova Line crisis. I once saw a headcanon from someone saying that Adrian was part of a team making biodomes for Erid when their world started getting colder as their star dimmed to help preserve towns and such, and I've been IN LOVE with that headcanon ever since I read it. Link leads to that post by hailmarysuggest.

That all said, Adrian in my design has a mission engraving as well, one of Erid and their star. Grace save stars. Adrian save Erid.

I love them a normal amount.

'A popular fanfic author stopped updating her fic because she said that the stress of being constantly falsely accused of using AI was a witch hunt and it was destroying her mental health to the extent that she needed to take a break from writing, leading to multiple online discussions defending her and debates about AI accusations and how You Can't Really Tell So Leave Her Alone, and then someone realised that there were Claude coding artefacts in her fics and that it was a super pervasive problem in that particular fandom, proven definitively by looking at the source coding of each work on AO3, and she denied it for a bit but then ultimately admitted that oopsie, she had been using genAI all along, and then she deleted all of her fics off AO3 and people got mad because they were being denied access to their favourite fics, even though they now knew definitively that they were genAI slop, and then it turned out that she'd actually stopped updating the fic on AO3 in the first place because she'd been shopping it around to agents and editors as an original work with the serial numbers filed off, and she'd been in conversations with a publisher which ultimately got dropped because she'd lied to them about her AI use' oh cool, so we're in Hell, then

Grace finally does something impressive to rocky

when your guardian angel quits 💧

My memory has gone to shit and I know it’s cause I spend most of my day daydreaming about silly little scenarios so I don’t kill myself but it’s still annoying

I could stop and it would fix the problem but it’s a load bearing activity so the main problem doesn’t just overwhelm me and crush me to a smooth paste

@jube-art's soulsong au hijacked my brain for forty-eight hours and now i've made a fanfic!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

summary:

Eva nods again, slowly. “Okay. So. What you’re saying is… your telepathic alien soulmate named Rocky has been helping you brainstorm solutions to the problems in the engineering department.” As soon as the pictures came in from the Venus probe, Eva Stratt got to work. She spoke with every reputable xenobiologist she could find. Every one of them pointed to Dr Ryland Grace. All of them told her, in varying degrees of politeness, that he was a little… unhinged.

most of this time was spent working on another soulsong au fic, which is a lot longer and angstier and focuses on rocky and grace's relationship over the years, so... keep an eye out if that interests you!
