1.04 Lorna's ballad

[fizzy-tizzy]

Everyone knows the first day of Friend Grace’s class is nickname day. It’s the day when every pebble is on their best behavior to try and make sure they get a cool nickname, something unique that they can brag to their friends and classmates about.

Sometimes, Grace will do it without thinking. That’s how Kiddo and Buddy got their nicknames. Often, Grace will nickname students after their coloration. Gaia got his nickname because he’s blue and green, and apparently looks a lot like Earth. Violet got hers because she’s purple. (She was initially disappointed since color means nothing to Eridians, but then Friend Grace showed them violet flowers and said that humans often associated purple with wealth and royalty, and she changed her tune.) Most of the time, Grace will give his students what he calls “regular human names” like Abby, Carl, or Martin.

But the most coveted nicknames are ones named after Earthen creatures. When ♩♪♬ 🎵 ♩♪♬ 🎵 first introduced themselves, Friend Grace immediately perked up and shouted “Robin!” After a bit of explaining himself and a few videos of bird calls, Robin was trilling and chirping happily, excited at having a nickname that felt like a 1-to-1 translation of their own.

Even well after Friend Grace is gone, his legacy remains. A hundred years into the future, when humankind finally launches a new ship with the express purpose of properly meeting their Eridian neighbors, one of the first messages exchanged is “Hello! My name Robin.”

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)

rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

free fic idea up for grabs. godspeed

[drunkdumbfucker]

I really didn’t know how to explain it so I drew it, but I had a dream of Robby having a full blown anxiety attack, hiding in a corner of some room and when Dana comes to check on him she asks what he needs and he just asks her to sit on his chest, she’s like « oh sweetie » and proceeds to sprawl over him it was very cute

Hi Cassie,

Hello. Hope everything is good. I wanted to ask does anyone remember the name of an Agathario fic where hee and Billy break into Death's house and find her journal and we see the beginning of their relationship. I remember Evanora wanting to meet the green witch. Also Billy amd Agatha get caught by Death who has a dog with her that belonged to one of their friends. It might have been deletee

I have never read this one actually. Sorry.

Anybody else know which fic this is?

You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs
