SOUND THE FUCKING ALARM DROP WHAT YOU’RE DOING GRACE AND ROCKY WERE ORIGINALLY STORYBOARDED HOLDING HANDS WHEN ROCKY SHOWS HIM THE BLIP-A . DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT TO DO

[starspaceace]

youve got the universe's top two yearners right there

[almondcroissantsandink]

someone to watch you sleep :)

(I also love the running gag that Adrian is much larger than Rocky--I raise you the concept that Adrian is a behemoth compared to Rocky)

[eridian-heart]

This is my story about Grace being turned into an Eridian and all the adventures that followed.

And nothing bad ever happened ever again.

Hey Rocky! I have a suggestion if you want to learn a LOT more words. There's a game called 'Cards Against Humanity' that has a lot of fun words in it, and a lot of them are ones Grace probably wouldn't think to teach you. And then if Grace won't tell you what they mean, there's this great website called 'Urban Dictionary' that will know them. :)

You could even ask Grace and Simon to play the game with you, since it's very funny. Team bonding!

Oh, oh, oh! Sounds much fun. Rocky love human culture learning moments. Rocky will get hand on Cards Against Humanity. Rocky will play with Grace and Simon.

Rocky will make use of Urban Dictionary if Grace be stubborn. Thank fruitcakebro!

Even though Eridians don't dream, do you think a conscious-transferred Grace would have some human traits still? Like, I imagine that his sleep is pretty deep, but he still will respond to LOUD noises and has some dreams. His body was grown in a tube and probably tinkered with to fit his human consciousness, after all.

Could also include, like, a stupidly high pain tolerance. Ryland is used to being squishy human and having many bruises all the time. Minor injury to him is nothing, but Eridians are touch as nails. If they get a minor break in the carapace, they freak the freak out because they *don't* get little cuts or things often.

Eridian Sleeping is definitely new for a long time for him

[eridian-heart]

Hey if I may ask, is something wrong with Grace's fifth leg? The one he uses as a tail? (Maybe you've even already answered it) Or does he like to use it to express his emotions?

Thank you for asking! So in the PHM movie - behind the scenes - they refer to Rocky's "weird leg" as his "goat leg" (I don't know why). It's the one he uses in a "scorpion tail" position the one time he's briefly threatened (?) by Grace

It doesn't open into a proper "claw" at the end the way his "normal hands" do, but it is functional!

From the fanon perspective, I like the reading that this is Rocky's unique deformity. Maybe having 5 identical claws is considered the "norm", but he's more than capable of being the engineering mechanical genius that he is with 4 "normal" claws. I've also seen a reading that this is the "designated attack claw".

So! In the Eridian Heart AU,

Rocky has a deformed claw because he was just born like that.

Adrian has a deformed claw (theirs is curly and I totally don't keep forgetting to draw it that way on occasion) because they were just born like that.

Grace's new body happened to have one "dud" claw and it was kinda made on a short notice so they didn't have time to remake it. Aka he was just "born" like that.

They maaatch 🧡💚💛

Grace poses the least threat of the 3 with his "attack claw", but it's okay, it's not like he will ever need to use it to defend himself, or find himself threatened. ^u^

...On a brighter note he is quite fond of wagging it!

[eridian-heart]

More asks, answering @mackarooon and @gendeerdeer, order up 💛

If your ask sounds like an Eridian is saying it (not by grammar, by context) and I'm feeling particularly inspired, I might turn your tumblr avatar into an Eridian stand-in for something like this. No guarantees or promises, I'm just having fun here

Thank you for your interest in my AU 💙

even when rocky is being SO annoying in the sleepover scene grace is still smiling and looking fond. *points accusingly* you love that alien.

[merakilousss]

we can meet again somewhere

[annabelle--cane]

ryland grace for sure has some subconscious gender issues (as we all do 😔) but also his one consistent joy in life is his pink collar job that pays Badly and his first response to any emotion is to burst into tears and he doesn't appear to have any kind of complex about it and when left to his own devices in space he likes wearing dresses and silk robes. I don't think his accidental misogyny would be chauvinistic in style, imo it would be more towards the benevolent sexism end of the spectrum and involve the idea "women are probably just better than men at basically everything if you really think about it."

[annabelle--cane]

would he identify as a feminist? absolutely, he's a middle school teacher in san fransisco and he's got strong beliefs about women having a place in high-pressure high-risk astronaut jobs. is he good at being a feminist? well,
