Hello tumblr. I’m reviving my old blog from the dead with some of my PHM fanarts.

This movie/book has gripped my soul a little too hard 😭

Need a PHM au where Eridians are very human-looking despite being from a different star system and being internally very different to humans (Star Trek style). And so Rocky and Grace can share an atmosphere. For Ortiz!Rocky purposes

I left a comment on the post but maybe other people would want this too. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot!) but Rocky is still very alien and Grace is smitten.

There is also a part 2 in the works because these two are dorks your honor, and the sun is still dying.

I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.

I'm just thinking about the fandom thing where grace gets turned into an eridian to make him live longer. When it actually happens, i don't think he would know how to move his body, let alone speak

i'm just imagining him, trapped in his own head, while Rocky hugs/comforts him, mute and immobile. like, everybody knows he's alive and thinking, but he just physically hasn't figured out how to do anything. Definitely extremely horrifying for him in the moment but it would be sweet to think about.

and imagine how it would be for rocky; you've done this experimental procedure, one of the many firsts in history's you've now got under your belt. Your best friend will finally live along with you for the rest of your life, but right now, he's barely alive in the first place. the only way you know he isn't dead is the quiet pulsing of blood. you're finally able to touch each other

Grace the brand new Eridian with the pain tolerance of a clumsy human who had bruises on his legs from constantly tripping and was half burned by a boiling alien atmosphere gets what is essentially a tattoo.

RANTING TIME !

As the Eridians were finishing up his body, they asked if he wanted them to add any carvings or embellishments to it before he moved in- he had expressed that he wanted the scar of Rocky’s claw transferred over, and they could actually replicate what it would look like in the growing process. Sorta just scraping the carapace and letting it heal, doing that until the scar was visible and permanent

he also wanted something to remember earth. A carving of his home planet on his other preferred arm- but when the science team said it would be super easy to carve Into the body while it was inert, he wanted to be in it and conscious to get the carving. It was a part of Eridian culture he wanted to experience.

so he gets the carving and doesn’t realize he’s supposed to be reacting way more to the slight stinging pain of the craving tools. After this Rocky scolds him and makes sure he knows that if he should ever feel that pain or anything close to it- to tell him or anyone immediately- because it means your carapace has been damaged and your now vulnerable to all kinds of nasty diseases and stuff.

Eridians evolved to be pretty much impermeable and very sturdy- it’s not normal to feel really any sort of pain. Humans are kinda just always in some sort of discomfort, so Grace had learned to tune it out so much that he’s kind of a super-eridian who can stand a lot of pain lol

I could keep ranting but I’ll save it for more sketches 🫡

[irradiatedsnakes]

my take on an eridian!grace design inspired by the concept of him getting uploaded to an eridian body in his old age (ie the fic "a momentary blip" by deitybird and this art post). his carapace is colored like one of the cliffs from his biodome, and he's got carvings based on the petrova line, the voyager golden record map to sol, and (not pictured) a gylph representing the hail mary, among others. he's a bit squatter than rocky and has more rounded/curved shapes, so youve got just a smidge of kiki and bouba going on between the two of them.

[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.

Eeeehhh... Eridian Grace...

Don't talk to me, I'm going insane...
