Mom said it’s my turn to think about Adrian 💚

[hydralunatic]

Rocky mate bad as hell!

My take on Adrian! Inspired by desert bloom variscite ( it’s very pretty go look it up)

[tallowandport]

I have seen glimpses of phm Ryland Grace being turned/reborn/made into an eridian to extend his life or some-such-similar-reason.

And I propose.

Since Eridian brains seem better with memory and such.

(I wonder if, because their brains are basically a big crystal, the reason their memory is so good is because it literally gets carved into the crystal so they can revisit it whenever with no problem.)

Imagine they manage to basically transfer Grace's consciousness into crystal brain into Eridian body.

and suddenly Grace is one of the smartest bitches on Erid (not that he wasn't already smart, or that the Eridians didn't already view him as smart, but now they have an easier way to comprehend how smart he is) because he no longer has the feeble flaws of a human brain with it's weird memory and stuff.

Rocky when Grace is human: This is my very smart, squishy alien friend.

Rocky when Grace becomes an Eridian and can finally properly chatter about Science: holy shit, Grace is a very smart fucking Nerd.

ok so ive fallen for the Ryland Grace and Colt Seavers are twins propaganda and i rewatched The Fall Guy last night. ive seen PHM 10 ten times. here are my notes.

Colt and Grace similarities:

thumbs up

beaches

the movie Rocky

yellow jacket

drugged at some point against their will

screwed over by a boss lady

excited arm pumping/air guitar

karaoke scene

upon being told they should leave:

"but i just got here :(" - Grace

"but im supposed to meet Jody for karaoke :(" - Colt

doing batshit insane things for the people they love

filling in for a dead guy (unwillingly/unknowingly)

signature jackets (Miami Vice stunt jacket and the fox cardigan)

almost fucking dying and refusing to die

about to take a leap -> "no" -> forced to do it anyway

"some people are failures" -Grace and "I thought I was a huge failure" -Colt

ending happily on a beach

extra stuff i thought was fun:

Colt: "you NEED carbs! your body runs on glucose!!!" Science fact!! wonder who he got that from in this au, hm?

Colt "lets just kiss" Seavers and his brother, Dr Ryland "aroace in space" Grace

Colt "DIPSHIT!" Seavers and his brother, Dr Ryland "what the FUDGING FUDGER???" Grace

My explanation for the book v. film difference on Eridian eating customs is that movie!Rocky was full-on bluffing.

Like he was just calling human eating disgusting, what was he going to do, say "okay actually the way Eridians eat is so incredibly gross we do it in private sound-proofed rooms"? And cede the conversational high-ground and sense of species superiority to Grace??? Nah, it looks beautiful, definitely.

Then Grace says "show me" and Rocky is stuck now, he's committed. So he just bucks up and goes all-in. It's not like he'll see the human after this is all done, he can pretend it's totally normal just this once.

Eventually before they reach Erid Rocky is gonna have to come clean, and Grace will laugh at him for an hour straight.

[ghstwht]

Had a thought that Grace technically never used reverse translation for Rocky, and Rocky understood him without a translator because he basically learned the language himself.

And you know all those jokes and headcanons about Rocky swearing every other word like any self-respecting engineer would, right? And Grace most likely did enter all those words into the translator, but replaced them with softer censored equivalents because he himself doesn’t really swear so the idea that someone might be talking to him in profanity every other sentence probably never even crossed his mind.

Now imagine this. They finally arrive to Erid. Grace desperately wants to make a good first impression, so he spends days hunched over his laptop, painstakingly assembling a greeting speech out of fragments from Rocky’s recordings.

And the resulting first contact speech sounds… bad. Like really bad. He turns the laptop toward the delegation looking unbelievably proud of himself. Presses play. And the computer proceeds to unleash a magnificent torrent of multilayered alien profanity stitched together from fragments of Rocky’s voice. Grace has absolutely no idea.

Rocky watched all of these preparations in silence the entire time, making those sly whistling noises that could absolutely be interpreted as laughter. Rocky's proud.

Meanwhile the Eridians are just thinking: "Yep. Okay. This leaky space blob really did spend years with our Rocky."
