nothing truly makes me happier than when rocky is sketched as one circle and 5 lines sticking out for comedic effect

[cupidthewriter]

Rocky learning about Colt has comedy potential bc I don't think Erid has identical twins.

okay so from what I can guess, twins aren't really a thing on Erid.

The way twins work in human biology is one of two ways. Either one egg is fertilized and it splits into two (identical twins) or two eggs are released and then fertilized (fraternal twins).

In the book, Grace describes that mating on Erid is basically laying eggs next to one another, and then one of the eggs absorbs the other. Then you can have a baby eridian in about forty two Earth Days. The book doesn't specify the number of eggs they lay at once. I guess, technically, you could have two Eridians born on the same day, if the mated pair had more than one set of eggs. Those could be fraternal twins. Two sets of eggs where one absorbs the other.

But identical twins? Like Colt and Ryland? Absolutely mind boggling.

Let us assume for a moment that Rocky could ever meet Colt. And let's skip over the part where he would definitely freak out because oh my gosh an alien, and oh my gosh my brother is alive and is friends with an alien. No, Rocky can't see that they both have those blue eyes or that blond hair, but he could sense the bone structure, probably. Hear the identical voices.

"Grace is not wearing his glasses. Grace dumb dumb dumb Grace dumb. Grace wear glasses."

"Actually, I don't need glasses..."

"Grace need glasses. Grace eyes not work. Human eyes good Grace's eyes bad."

"I'm not Ry- Grace, I'm not Grace."

"Grace crazy. Grace is Grace. Grace tall and squishy. Sound like Grace."

And then Ryland actually enters the room and Rocky reacts like those babies who have never seen their dads with their twin brothers in the same room

just utter confusion and panic

(an octave higher than normal) "TWO GRACE!!!"

"No- buddy, that's Colt, remember, I told you-"

"TWO GRACE!! GRACE CLONE! CLONE GRACE BAD"

Ryland already explained to Rocky how little humans are made, though we don't see him do so. He just says he did. But I can imagine he'd have to have a do-over lesson with him just to explain the concept of identical twins.

"Egg merge. But then split. Now have Colt and Grace"

"Yes. Exactly. Thank you."

"Colt dumb dumb dumb like Grace question?"

"No. Why does he keep saying that?"

"Colt do science like Grace, question?"

"No. I'm a stunt man."

"Not know that word."

"He works with explosions and stuff so that other people don't get hurt."

"For science question?"

"Entertainment. Movies and stuff."

"..... Colt dumb dumb dumb like Grace, Colt and Grace dumb, Colt and Grace the same, dumb dumb dumb dumb-"

Vestigial

Imagine Grace, Rocky, Simon on Grace's ship. Grace realizes he's dreaming, but isn't sure how to wake up. The giant, terrifyingly toothy blood-ocean-baby monster isn't helping. "I'd like to wake up now." "BUT YOU HAVE ONLY JUST ARRIVED," the voices croon, spilling into laughter. Grace is trying not to lose it. His gaze keeps sliding over the human limbs emerging along the flaccid body and back to those enormous teeth… an echo of what was on Simon's face? Those eyes won't let him go either. "You don't have pupils," he says, curiosity offering a path back to sanity. "WE DO NOT REQUIRE EYES TO SEE YOU, DOCTOR RYLAND GRACE." Grace frowns. "Then why have them?" Silence. "WHAT." "Are they vestigial?" The creature shifts. "WHAT." "Vestigial," Grace repeats, smiling. "The word comes from the French word 'vestige', which has its root in the Latin 'vestigium,' meaning footprint or trace. In biological ter-" Groaning, the creature sinks back, disappearing into the ocean of blood. "LEAVE." With a gasp, Grace wakes up.

Markiplier waking up one day to realize he is now being shipped with Ryan Gosling:

[rockrockgrace]

An introduction...

Grace is totally in a super-sophisticated hyper-clear xenonite ball - I swear. I didn't forget to draw the ball. That or he can breathe ammonia now.

I fear we may have gone too far...

saw a lady wearing this shirt at my workplace and thought it was so stupid. i couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Something something @stick-eridian-collection if you don't already got this one

[hailmarysuggest]

I just think that Rocky is the most feral possessive bitch to ever exist when it comes to Grace. Sorry, if you don’t fix my space horse I’m NOT giving you any of the bacteria we almost died to get- oh hello mate Adrian, yes yes, Rocky DOES think this is perfectly rational, why do you ask? No, Rocky ran out of his Eridian Lexapro like four years ago this is now a hostage negotiation-

Happy pride to whatever ryan gosling and that space rock got going on

[videnrambles]

Okay so..

Grace some how ends up at one of Tom Ryder's parties with Colt. The two of them get separated at some point and Colt goes on a massive panicked adventure around the property to find him. He ropes Jody and dan into helping him look for several hours.

When Colt finally finds Ryland, he's surrounded by several extremely intoxicated celebrities, Tom Ryder included, watching him do a science experiment.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

I've been doing this thing on youraislopbores.me today where I ask people what one of their favourite fanfics is, and every time somebody gives me a specific answer, I locate the fic and let the author know in the comments that when an anonymous stranger was asked for their favourite fic, they answered with this one
