Hey! Y'all can call me whatever you'd like, and I write fanfic at ungodly hours of the night.

Mostly stuck in an infinite void of BSD thoughts, but I'm also into TMA, Iron Lung, MCU, and PHM

On earth most animals aim to be symmetrical and so have an even amount of limbs. Reading that Rocky had five left me puzzled, obviously he's an alien, but was there precedent in nature for such a phenomenon? What was the point of five rather than 4 or 6? ...Then, I looked at my own hands and felt silly. Still, that connection made me happy.

One really cool thing I learned in my historical geology course is that nature LOVES the number 5. For some weird complicated physics reasons, 5 digits is just a good balance between too few and too many. The first tetrapods had like, 7 or 8 fingers, and slowly whittled down to specifically 5, no more, no less.

Also, while most life is bilateral (or unshaped), any forms of life that *aren’t* bilateral are pentaradially symmetrical! Like starfish, urchins, and I think sand dollars?

Eridians are implied to share an ancestor with humans from the single-cell days, which means they wouldn’t have gotten their pentaradial symmetry from earth. But it would be likely for it to be a convergent evolutionary feature!

Bestie keeps trying to convince me to change my name to a specific name that just so happened to be the name of a stupid self-insert OC I came up with in middle school, but I don't have the heart to tell that to her face-to-face

I have a weirdly specific vision of Grace going through stuff on the Hail Mary a few years into living on Erid, finding an unopened jug of lab-grade ethanol, and carefully partitioning it out into "beer" and other various beverages, where it's basically just ethanol and water mixed together to match specific ABVs

Gonna do something I WILL regret.

Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.

Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.

And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.
