nothing to worry about just Gustave being a badass

Exploring Eridian’s biology. Most of it are taken from the book, but I want to add to it :)

My headcanons:

-Rocky and Adrian had kids before Rocky went away. They are now in their (human equivalent) 20s.

-Adrian and Rocky used to be around the same age, now Adrian is MUCH older.

-Baby Eridians are called pebbles (like baby goats are called kids). Yes, this is all Grace doing.

-Eridan’s eggs are like geode.

-Eridian’s eggs (canonically) are laid together when mate and then merge. I however, also think that they would usually go for two at a time for protection (they can watch each other sleep as they get older).

-Rocky name his two new pebbles after Grace and the Hail Mary.

-I’m not a geologist and very much not knowledgeable about rock, but I believe that the green/blue we see Eridians have (movie ver) could be caused by the various level of metal element on their rock layer, like copper and bronze, interacting with the elements over time (Verdigris).

-Baby Eridians are smooth rock. As Eridians grow, they became sharper and more complex looking, caused both by natural aging and external elements.

-Most elder Eridians are green/blue since it’s a form of rusting, kind of like human with grey hair.

We all know Grace is a yapper

But so is Rocky

He never stops talking

They get back to Erid and Rocky introduces Grace and Adrian to each other

And over the first few weeks that Adrian is observing them together, they hear Grace's non-stop yapping

And they just take a moment, and then with nothing but unrestrained (slightly fond) horror, they go "Oh my god there's two of them"

eridian celebration clothes!

close-ups

very loosely based on the book descriptions lol

i headcanon Adrian to be an environmental landscaper and architect, who designs clothes for fun because they're just that talented and badass. they spearheaded the making of Grace's biodome and his erid-cultural closet lol

Chapter 13.1: In the Cellar

Maelle, Lucien and Catherine are on borrowing duty, but nothing goes according to plan ! The Borrowers are once again in peril !

(Previous part) / (Next part)

Here is the first part of chapter 13 ! I hope you liked it and I apologize for the wait ! Next one is going to take me some time to make too because I have other things I must work on this month !

[shadowedf3ver]

ah yes. my personal favourite moment from the book: the first time Rocky realises Grace is the most intelligent idiot he’s ever met

“I return to the tunnel to tell Rocky about how smart I am.” ,,,, bro could only call you bad because he simply didn’t have the words to describe ur silliness grace let’s not hype ourselves up too soon.

Welcome To The Expedition 33 Summer Reading Challenge

Do you have a backlog of fics you keep meaning to read? Is your To Be Read list out of control? Do you really, really, really like earning gold stars?

The Expedition 33 fandom is blessed with amazing writers and fantastic fics - and this challenge is dedicated to helping you read more of them.

How Does It Work?

Over summer, we will post a set of 33 prompts showing different types of fics to find: the prompts will range from "find a fic with less than 5000 words" to "find a fic with a French title" to "find a fic about the gestrals."

You can then comb through AO3 (or wherever you prefer to read your fic) and find a fic that matches that prompt: read it, enjoy it, comment on it, and then give yourself a big tick for meeting that challenge.

At the end of summer, you can collect a shiny gold star depending on how many prompts you managed to meet. We will have stars for managing to find and read:

1 fic

5 fics

11 fics

22 fics

33 fics

Because we want this challenge to be about shouting from the rooftops about how much we love all the talent in this fandom, there will also be a special gold star for anyone who shares Fic Recs of the lovely things they've read.

Timeline

20 May 2026: The full Reading Prompt List will be posted so that you can plan ahead.

1 June 2026 to 31 July 2026: Read, comment, & recommend as many fics as you'd like. We'll post weekly to highlight a different set of prompts from the Reading Prompt List every week.

August 2026: We'll post stars and will reblog anyone who posts under #e33readingchallenge confirming they've met their challenge

Questions?

If you have any questions, check out the Q&A on our tumblr, or jump in our Ask Box and ask!

What Should I Do Now?

Reblog this post and let us know underneath or in the tags what your reading goals are for this summer!

Then follow us to keep an eye out for the prompt list on the 20th May, and the weekly prompts throughout June and July.

Wtf is wrong with guys PUBLICLY critisizing fanfics in a most vile manner. Posting 'fic recs' that are actually shitting on a fic??

An important reminder:

You are reading a work of passion, for free!!!

- if you didn't like reading something - that is totally understandable, silently move on pls

- if - and only IF - the author asked for feedback on their writing, do so in a private exchange with them

But dismantling a fic in the tag for the ship you have read that fanfic from???

Fuck off

Don’t like, don’t read

Your Kink Is Not My Kink and That’s Okay

The Back Button is your friend

The Block Button is your friend

Fanfic Authors do this for fun and for free

No one OWES you anything

Don’t shit where you sleep (leave hate OUT of the tags and keep that to yourself)

Don’t offer criticism (constructive or otherwise) unless an author has asked for it - and do it in private if they have

Take a deep breath - and touch some grass

Fandom is fun.

Fandom is community.

If you want to be a part of that community - you gotta be kind to others, no one wants to hang out around a constantly negative sort of attitude.

That’s all there really is to it!

Have fun, spread love, joy, and shenanigans.
