sometimes I'm a person.

Ok, it's finally done. Home is a place, home is a person.

This story is my first major piece after several years of art block, and I'm so glad I could finally get back to drawing.

Huge thanks to my dear friend @chancekey for the support.

to me, grace's house on erid looks like it was inspired by organic modern/japandi interior design styles with industrial elements. which makes sense from a set designer's stand point because it has to look like it was made with both natural materials and metals.

but i have so many questions about it. is this grace's interior design style? is this how interior design is on erid? did grace and rocky set up a joint pinboard and spend the trip chucking jpegs in there? he has so many vases, are they gifts from the eridians? is it an eridian cultural thing? did grace take up pottery?

i also adore how many windows he has and how big they are. the house is physically small (which makes sense, grace doesn't seem like the type of guy to want a bigger space than he needs) but having so many large windows makes it feel bigger than it is. it also allows him to enjoy the ocean views, provide lighting (it's possible he has recessed lighting, but i didn't see any lamps), and help him feel less trapped. after being kidnapped and forced to live in such a small space for so long, it would be good for him to feel physically safe but not contained, and this is a great way to do it.

@ecobanshee #also absolutely fascinating by the popcorn wall paper in the second image#what is that#it looks like something that's not supposed to be visually appealing but rather create a certain type of soundscape (muffling?)

they seem metallic to me, or some kind of eridian wall texturing. i agree it's popcorn reminiscent, but it also kinda gives comb, slap brush knockdown, and hammered metal

before making this reply i'd first thought it was a combination of stucco-adjacent and metal walls but now i'm not so sure

You can write a fandom wiki from an in-universe perspective, or you can have your fandom wiki adhere to Wikipedia citation standards, but you cannot do both. Trying to have it both ways is how you end up with articles that hedge on whether penises exist in-universe because no canon media directly addresses the topic.

[envexenveritas]

Are you sure about that? https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Penis

[prokopetz]

I don't feel like Doctor Who is any sort of exception to the general principle here; even having nine hundred episodes spread over sixty years to draw from and copious licensed prose besides, trying to cite from an in-universe perspective still results in a model of the world with all sorts of strange gaps in it. I will, however, give it full credit that the in-universe existence of penises is not one of those gaps.

I see this as less a downside and more part of the fun. See also, the Transformers wiki being unsure if Jesus is the same person as Christ and whether or not he's worshipped as a deity, and concluding that based on limited available information he might just be a metaphor for Optimus Prime.

[prokopetz]

I don't disagree that it can be a lot of fun. However, I'm of the firm opinion that once you've reached the point of speculating based on the preponderance of textual evidence that Jesus Christ is a mythologised version of Optimus Prime, what you are writing is not an informational wiki article; it is fanfic with a very specific format screw.

"Do you ever wonder if Grace's bike is still there at Grover Cleveland Middle School? Is it treated like a memorial for him after the annoucment of him volunteering to board the Hail Mary? Do you think his students visit it?"

“Understand,” he says. “I am here (Tau Ceti) forty-six years.” “Forty-six years?!” I gasp. “Earth years?!” “I am here forty-six Earth years, yes.”

I swear Rocky is looking at Grace like he’s his 15 year old dog who is starting to make strange sounds in his sleep-

[cloudabserk]

rocky is both touched by the sentiment and disturbed by human medical practices

inspired by this grace quote:

The part in the Project Hail Mary book when Grace thinks about warming up his burrito with the spin drives sent me

[spielzeugkaiser]

This movie was so AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE it made me want to draw again!!

Two eridians and their wet dog

[jorolle]

when grace sends the beetles back to earth you can see him putting rocky's xenonite figurine of him into one of them. AND HE GIVES IT A LITTLE FIST FINGER BUMP😭

Chapter 2, in which Grace achieves a chemistry-linguistics breakthrough.

Still based on @neutronian and @vonlipwig conversation and amazing pun!

wordle in 1: joyless. it is statistically inevitable that your go-to starting word will be the solution one day, and this is no more of an accomplishment than running a random number generator once a day until it gives you "1"

wordle in 2: misleading. you may think that this is the highest achievement, but it suffers from the same disappointment of a lucky guess that wordle in 1 causes. your second guess is a strategic choice, but ending the game this early just isn't interesting

wordle in 3: the peak. your starting word gave you some information and then your second guess contextualized that information into a solvable position. your sharp intuition and restraint is what truly separates you as above average.

wordle in 4: statistically average, par for the course, the baseline against which all other wordles are compared.

wordle in 5: you're sweating. you made a mistake at some point, or your starting word was effectively useless, and it took an extra guess above average to close things out. wordle in 5 comes as a relief.

wordle in 6: crushing humiliation. you have technically succeeded but at what cost. your thirty square grid will stare back at you like barrels of a firing squad. a failure in all but name.

wordle failure: never your fault. what kind of stupid word even was that like come on

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect

is it worth it?

yes!!

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

Results/option I didn't think of
