watching grace & rocky & adrian hang out inside the biodome must be the eridian equivalent of when you go to the aquarium and see the trainers chilling in the sea lion exhibit

Based on this tweet!

Two eridians and their wet dog

[do-angels-dream-of-starry-seas]

Fiiiiine ill add my bloodymary two cents

Taking the best of both worlds, may I present the two as a ship BUT! Grace is still aroace

Cause i wanna see the introspection with two characters who are the ONLY people in this space who HAVE to live together because no where else is hospitable, and how those can cloud and mix genuine feelings you may have for the other person

So with this you either:

1) have Grace process his aspec-ness, now that he has space to express his emotions without needing to fit a certain societal expectation. Either gray, demi, homo-aspec, or just feeling things in his own way

2) the aaaaangst of unrequited love not only from Simon, but from Grace who feels horrible that he cannot give this profound connection back to Simon and is so worried he isn't enough. Maybe they overcome it, maybe it's still a sore point for a long time, but them together on Erid is too precious to throw away over hurt feelings

3) queerplatonic partners on an alien planet baby!!!!! Maybe Simon understands Grace won't be able to return his feelings like he can but that is enough for him, maybe they have something undefinable. Either way these two have been through the wringer and they are now a lil codependent on each other and don't mind it thank you very much

[cerescoelacanth]

YES YES YES!!! THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING!!! I'm especially a big fan of option 3 :))))

[cerescoelacanth]

could I perhaps suggest the Bloodymary bad days or nights with some comfort

Soooo uhhhhh I did a whole thing...... Hehehehe. Thank you for the suggestion truly, this was a delight to draw. Hurt/comfort my beloved :3

(I was gonna draw Ryland's burn scars from when he had to carry Rocky back to his atmosphere in the book, but I forgot to do it after the first panel, oops. They are there in spirit, trust.)

I'm gonna put my rambling under the cut ↓

They both get their nightmares and of course they both handle them differently. Simon's are usually about the blood ocean and horrors within and Ryland's are often twisted versions of his memories.

Since my sister gave me the idea I like to headcanon that Simon is actually able to wake himself up from his nightmares really effectively, so he doesn't always get too deep into them. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't still get shaken up and he ends up losing a lot of sleep due to this. Any reminders of the blood ocean is too many reminders, so he will usually find a way to ground himself afterwards and remember that he's not down there anymore and the stars are still alive, so he will usually go to the Don't Go Crazy room or just look out the windows at the stars.

Ryland on the other hand has a much harder time waking up from his nightmares and ends up tossing and turning a lot trapped in his brain's form of self torture. Usually he would need a lot of coaxing to get out of it, or eventually he'll scare himself so bad he wakes up screaming. Luckily Rocky is always there and ready to listen and give reassurance, and as close as the guy can give for a hug, which is usually enough to calm him down, but sometimes when it's particularly bad he'll go seek out Simon for additional comfort until he can fall back asleep after tiring himself out with all the crying.

you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things A few of my favorite autochrome photos:

[itsoldjohn]

that last one is literally a LOOK

[cassiocantdrink]

yes!

but lets not forget sergei prokudin-gorskiy, who developed a similar process in 1902, published in 1903 and then toured russia to take hundreds of color photographs:

AND the guy developed color slide processing as well. as a person fairly familiar with modern b/w processing at home, but never EVER stepping into color (negatives or slides) territory, i’d say, BAMF to the highest degree. 

[petermorwood]

Here are a few more Prokudin-Gorskiy / Gorskii shots, and a reminder once again that these aren’t recently colourised BW images but original colour photos taken about 120 years ago. Many colourised pics don’t look this good. Some modern colour pics don’t look this good (as I know all too well. “Delete image Y/N? Y!”)

This is Leo Tolstoy, author of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina”.

Alim Khan, Emir of Bukhara…

…and his Minister of the Interior.

A Type B-15 steam locomotive…

Another of those peasant girls with guest-gifts of berries…

The Church of St John the Baptist at Staraya Ladoga…

…and a Sergei Prokudin-Gorskiy self-portrait.

Unlike some current selfies ;-> he’s not dominating the image, so here’s a closer shot.

Nice hat…

i think i saw a movie like this once

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace

[seven-oh-four]

my liege if you keep having all of the guards come to your bedroom to read you bedtime stories, there will be no one to actually guard the castle during that time!

[kingcatnine]

any intruders are welcome to join us for story time

[cvntkisser]

my liege the enemies to lovers yaoi is affecting your perception of the danger of real enemies.

[kingcatnine]

happy one year to bedtime yaoi

[seren-dipitous-art]

…okay so what if the problem with the taomeba never happened on the way back home. What if the radiation never got onto the Blip-A. What if Rocky ended up back on Erid, and Grace made it back to Earth. What if they missed each other desperately forever.

What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.

What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.

What if I made myself cry, what about that? Huh? What then?

[trixeclipse]

Rocky made the xenonite suit because Grace needed proper hugs ❤️‍🩹
