Hi! She/they pronouns. Expect long rambling about my admittedly mostly headcanon veiws on star wars, I have two actual fanfics I post semi-regulary for here and here. In Artfight I’m team fossils, still lazerswordweilder. Overall I like Star Wars, Murderbot, Batman, Danny Phantom, and whatever else grabs my intrest. The tag I post everything under is lazerswordweilder writes
Made a little comic about my eridian Oc :-]
Concept + progress
Progress has been slow, but Yao is done soon, then I'll move onto Ilyukhina, the others and then finally Grace, the rainbow figures, the background and the effects.
This is gonna be so much work lol
Im also working on Art Fight stuff, so im gonna be even slower, sorry

Thank you to everyone who had the idea and recommended it to me!

Looks at stratt and grace.... No. Its not romance its something much deeper. And much more sinister.
Sup? *ghostly*
The concept of Eva Stratt eventually developing dementia.
She forgets what day it is, then what week, then whay month, and eventually what year. It's almost like when she was in prison and time just blurred together and everything hurt.
She forgets her prison neck tattoo. She forgets ever going to prison at all. Why is there a mark on her neck? She asked one of the staff what it meant once but it slipped her mind afterwards. She forgets her own name but she Knows that she has no one. Not even a dog. She forgets how old she is.
However her bones, her muscles, her nervous system do not forget Project Hail Mary and being Dictator of the World. Having to race to save the world over and over again for a reason that she only half-remembers. She asks after Dr Grace when she forgets.
There is a man who works in the care facility* with brown-blond hair and blue eyes who wears funny socks (even if she would never tell him she found them funny. It would be deeply unprofessional and an affection that she cannot afford to give) and is constantly misplacing his glasses. She calls him Dr Grace sometimes. He is Dr Grace sometimes. Other times she calls him the name that's on his badge. Big and yellow like Grace's raincoat is. Was. He almost always brings her good coffee.
She tells him that she is sorry and that she did what must be done and would do it all again tomorrow. Today, in three hours. She forgets.
*idk if Stratt would end up in a care home (or even make it to old age at all but 🤷🏻♂️) with others or if she would be on her own but with carers coming to visit her instead
Grace watch Rocky sleep (amongst other things)
How many kids' grades dropped because the teacher that made school bearable and learning fun just stopped coming to class one day and they didn't see the point in trying anymore?How many emails and calls flooded the principals inbox from parents who'd noticed the change in their kids? How many teachers switched schools or quit because they could never get a straight answer about where their friend and colleague went? How many now high schoolers or even college aged kids that only had a middle school science class in common got together to swap stories of their favorite teacher who had seemingly just... disappeared?
What was their reaction when the beetles came back and the first bits of footage were made public? That looks like him, but it can't be him. The guy who got vertigo on the second rung of a ladder was an astronaut now? That was more shocking than the reveal of Rocky and proof of life outside of our solar system. And why hadn't he told anyone? None of if made sense.
And then they found out he hadn't gone into space voluntarily. Anger was the the stage of grief the majority of them got stuck in, like a car in the snow, wheels endlessly turning and burning but never actually getting anywhere. Social media flooded with despair and sorrow and rants riddled with typos. Demanding the arrest of Stratt, to send up a rescue party to go get him, something to fill the hole he left. An endless cycle of anger.
But then someone speaks up. Says that's not what he would have wanted. The teacher that shouted but never raised his voice, never swore, had his door open for his students even during lunch, would not be okay with all this hate on his behalf.
So they try loving. His birthday becomes unofficial holiday. Students don't pass his bike still chained to the pole without leaving a note or a trinket of some sort. There's a scholarship named in his honor. More and more people want to learn about and major in molecular biology. The top ranking baby names are Riley, Grace, Ryan, Mary, and Ryland. There are hundreds of dogs and cats and hamsters and spiders named Rocky.
"You have no immediate family. You don't even have a dog." She'd said. But the important kind of love, of relationships he'd had, was never about that. Ask anyone with a worn out beanbag they never got to cash in.
Left some Grace doodles in my pocket when I did laundry and now it feels like I'm piercing together parts of some type of mystery or maybe like forgotten images of an estranged partner lmao
Is this how the people Ryland left behind on Earth felt? Mourning a man that no one really knew all the way through? Bits and pieces of his life lost and forgotten over the years until all that’s left is the Savior of Earth?
Ignore the dog hair on my rug lol
Stratt WIP (I ♥️ EVA STRATT) 😼‼️
also- progress pic and the ref I used
Really funny to think about the knowledge gap Eridians and humans are going to have about each other the next time they make contact due to Grace spending the rest of his life on Erid (plus all the information aboard the Hail Mary, and especially the laptops Stratt put basically entire internet on!)
Eridians are going to have a fairly solid grasp of the English language (and possibly even some others), an intimate understanding of the environmental conditions a human needs to thrive as well as their nutritional and psychological needs, a solid grasp of a number of scientific concepts discovered by humans, and decent familiarity with human culture and customs (if probably an American-centric one). Some Eridians might even be explicitly trained as diplomats or ambassadors with the expectation that one day the two cultures might interact more regularly.
Whereas humans are like. Well. There sure are talking rocks in space somewhere!
Having a Moment
Hi sorry just had a thought. The clock Rocky brought Grace wasn't ticking at all when he first brought it to him. Couple theories
1) it's actually annoying for clocks to be on all the time for Eridians, in the same way it is for most people hearing a clock ticking before getting used to it. The last thing you need on an empty ship with your dead friends is to go insane from a clock ticking
2) at some point Rocky became so sad and lonely that he turned it off. Like a "what's the point of knowing what time it is anymore, I know what day it is internally and that's good enough" thing. Or maybe he only turned it on once and awhile after he slept (since the lengths are unpredictable) just to check what day it was before turning it back off. Why count the hours if it's the end of the (petrova) line
3) Rocky made it at some point after everyone died because nobody was around to tell him how long he slept
forgor to put this in other ask... I took my meds I promise
more hcs on adrian? especially with rocky or when rocky was away...
you don't need to draw anything for this req if u don't wanna but Adrian doodles would be much appreciated, I just love hearing ur thoughts on that eridian baddie
stay hydrated :D
Here are some Adrians from Insta!
A ‘fun’ trend slowly rose(very slowly because molts usually happen once every 30-40 human years) where people start making shaped casts into their carapace after a molt, and removes the model so their carapace keeps the imprint. These ones lasts until the next molt. (As opposed to carvings, which are permanent)
Ugh I fucking love Pebbles, this is completely unrelated to the conversation you just had but the word Pebbles and the image following it just gives me serotonin. You can put them in little baskets and carrying them around like they're eggs or put one in your pocket. They give me extreme cuteness aggression. Augh. I love them. I want every Pebbles ever to grow up happy and healthy.

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
