winter x cricket. taps my chin..
a rather unfortunate hobby of mine is recreating undertale/deltarune songs so that i can replace the melody with megalovania. i dont know why i do this
like this
i will not be stopping
you and i both know these bars are too far apart to stop me
aaand another one
cant forget this one
probably something like this
[ID: A bunch of Undertale tracks with their instruments set to play Megalovania (Once Upon a Time, mus_st_him, Death by Glamour, Your Best Friend, Temmie Village, Start Menu, and Power of "NEO") with tags reading "#I think this might be illegal actually op #go to undertale jail" and a pic of OP's avatar in Papyrus' shed, and a comment by @cherub-investigation0802 reading "Okay now Im curious of what the inverse is like" with Megalovania set to play Fallen Down. /End ID]
@term1n8er83 Look at this
On a 5 hour road trip give me songs to listen to. any genre (except country)

This creature is a strange one… I instructed it how to find what I believed it sought through the Old Path, just as I instructed all the ones before it.
And yet, instead of continuing the climb down my can, it spent hours walking to my city and painstakingly climbed up a building.
It has remained here all night, and I imagine it will until dawn. I have to wonder, what is it looking for that it hopes to find in the stars? Is it merely admiring the only cloudless view it’s ever had before its final departure? Or does it seek something beyond the escape I provided, perhaps?
Maybe I am simply anthropomorphizing it, but there is almost something familiar in its gaze. A longing for what once was.
Alone at the top of the world, what is it searching for?

Thinking about how stage shows on Erid are probably awesome. They have to sound proof the stage so the audience doesn't hear all the work that's being done in the background. They probably create new beautiful sounds to help everything come together. They probably make sets full of textures not naturally heard in their world. The MUSIC oh I can only imagine the music. They probably make these incredibly cool puppets as well. Eridians probably come from far and wide to watch the shows since there's not a way to record them and get the full effect and experience.
After a few years of Grace being there, someone probably makes a play of what happened and it's the longest run of an Eridian show ever. At one of the showings, they make some lights so Grace can see. Then he goes up on the stage once it's over with Rocky and everyone looses their shit.
So the Eridian goodbye (movie) is so scrumptious to me.
The basics of the 'goodbye' is the hand/claw rubbing up and down along the arm, right? Theres a 'walking' sort of motion with the fingers in the beginning that speeds up and becomes a sort of dragging of knuckles along carapace, producing a knocking sound. What gets me is the visual of that almost walking away and back again, like finger puppets. That implied state of impermanent farewell or of seeing someone again, of coming back together. Which is just, lovely, but also.
Eridians use sound to see! So them making that crkrkrk sound as goodbye is just. So heartfelt. Because in doing so, they're making themselves more 'visible' to the person leaving (since they don't have eyesight they can see behind them! As long as there is noise and conduction).
It's like they're trying to stay in contact/in range of the other for as long possible, even as they move away. I like the idea that theyre sort of conveying that when the departing returns, theyll be there as they sensed them when going - broadcasting where they are and were, and maybe one day will be again. In addition to the person leaving being able to hear/see them, the person staying behind also can probably 'hear/see' the person leaving better (as the sound theyre producing bounces off the one leaving), until the tone doesn't return to them anymore, just like how the one going isn't returning. (But also, those sound waves bouncing back in that final return, even when the leaver is long gone and going? That conflicting wave like thing, where the Person is going one way, but their thoughts and senses return the other.)
I'd be really interested to know if it's reciprocal during parting or if just the staying party does it. If it was reciprocal or the leaving party typically does the motion, I feel it adds like a whole sweet thing! If you have both making the noise as they leave, it serves both as an anchor and a broadcast. 'I am going, I will show you where I am, I will hear where you are, until we are too far and our sound fades into distance'. Yk??
Tracking the person leaving by the sound they make, or of the two crkrkrk's bouncing off each other (idk how sound works). Their whole primary sense being sound is so interesting to me and in how it might impact perception and interaction. Am I making it too sentimental? Perhaps! But we used to say 'god be with ye' which turned into goodbye which is a whole like, internal wealth of culture/history and emotion, and the idea of parting and rejoining is such a dear theme to me in the movie and book, so applying something like it to eridian culture doesn't seem too outlandish.
Also; Eridians just not having a word for goodbye. Leaving is a process. There's no sudden disappearance, no cut off in line of sight. It's gradual and involved. They're always 'looking back' as they go. Man.
I LOVE PROJECT HAIL MARY. WATCH IT (movie) AND READ IT (book) NOW. ERIDIANS ARE SO COOL ROCKY AND ADRIAN ARE SO COOL I LOVE THE ROCK ALIENS #MY FAVORITE ROCKS
Turns out the Eridian scientists simulated earths atmosphere so well that when it rains in the dome (there’s a sprinkler system) it forms a rainbow
Nobody understands why Grace cries after the first rain and he can’t explain it properly. Rocky is the only one who vaguely gets it
cuddlebugs...
The first day in Teacher Grace’s class is widely acknowledged amongst the Eridian children as one of the most exciting days of school, partly because what could be cooler than being taught by the alien schoolteacher who helped save your entire planet, but especially because the first day is the day when Teacher Grace helps everyone choose their human names.
The students all take turns telling him about themselves, what they like, what they want to do, who they are, and Grace in turn tells them about the names they make him think of, and the stories (fictional and real) that go with them, and the kids get to pick the ones they like.
It’s a beautiful exchange of cultures and personal experiences, and every class is unique (one class ends up entirely named after niche Star Trek characters after requests from multiple students result in “Earth culture storytime” devolving into Grace infodumping about his favorite show and everyone becomes obsessed).
Grace is known for being a good deal more forgetful than the average Eridian (“leaky space brain for leaky space blob” Rocky once jokingly put it) but he has never once forgotten a student’s name.
Taking this out of the tags because it’s so beautiful 😭
Some day you will never be alone again
