hello pals @kookiecamera - Tumblr Blog

I think eva stratt has detailed files on all petrova taskforce personnel that contain more information about their subjects than the subjects even know about themselves. several people in her employ have mild food allergies that she noted and had cut out of their diets via requests to the catering staff but that the people themselves have never consciously noticed, ilyukhina just thought she stopped getting regular stomach aches when she arrived on the vat because she's god's specialest engineer and not because all the dairy in her diet got swapped out for alternatives. grace does some shopping on the mainland at one point and doesn't realize he bought a different scent of moisturizer than usual so stratt just goes into his room and switches it with a hypoallergenic formula in an identical bottle. this is because she has never been normal about anything in her life.

The Shield

Inspired by how Grace is sometimes represented by a fox. And how the axe will still fall on Stratt’s head in the end.

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

Very fond of the Eridians named Adrian and Rocky

When you think about it

The jingly celebration outfit that Rocky wore was probably Extremely Slutty by Eridian culture (going by what I know of them from the book I’ve yet to read)

I for one, fully subscribe to the idea that Rocky went a bit crazy in his decades of solitude and became a nudist as a result. He fully set himself free from the buttoned up collar modesty of Eridian society, eating included.

Because Eridians all normally wearing clothing makes total sense for echolocation rock folk. The texture and shape of the fabric ‘blurs’ the 3d image others hear. Even more so if the fabric is thick and sound absorbing. So him wearing a sweater in the books makes sense.

Now, for a eridian to dress up and want be the center of attention, they would want to wear something that is literally loud. Crinkly fabrics, lots of jewelry. A chain mail dress to them would be a sequin dress to us. But to wear such outfits ‘respectably’ is wear them while still wearing underwear. Be cause if you let the decoration bounce against your core, the metal colliding with the stone body will echo and show everyone your hole by sound alone.

And to wear Only the loudest jewelry ever while totally naked?? That’s down right public indecency. The kinda stunt pulled by streakers running across a public sports field for the attention.

The truth comes out about this aspect of Eridian culture over half way to Erid. When it fully hits Rocky that he’s going home and gonna be surrounded by Eridians again. So he should probably start wearing cloths again.

Rocky does not say anything to Grace about it at first, just starts slowly wearing more and more cloths again. Until the day that Grace asks Rocky if he made himself these little outfits to emulate human culture. Something Grace thinks is a really sweet gesture of friendship between species.

“Rocky ask Grace hold onto feelings of friendship when Grace hears what Rocky must confess…”
