to clarify, they took these notes over time and the "holy fuck" is that moment where you step back and look at everything and are like "jesus christ this is crazy". also, since i know it'll be brought up:

Follow up to the clicker training grocky post

Grace is having a similar problem to Rocky, Rocky cannot seem to just give Grace his full attention sometimes which is fine mostly but.. well. Grace is a little greedy and a little bored, and one day he’s rummaging around in the storage area, opening boxes he’s never opened before and he finds..

A dog whistle!!

He almost goes to blow on it experimentally but then he pauses.

This is a brilliant scientific opportunity!!

Grace has about a million thoughts at once but it all boils down to this: Can Eridians be trained to react positively to certain sounds?

He knows it’s not exactly the mosttt ethical but. He’s so bored

Grace is immediately plotting, he hides the whistle in his pocket amongst other junk so that Rocky can’t make out what it is but then he realises he can’t just pull it out, it’s not like he can hide it anyway so instead he shows it to Rocky vaguely under the excuse it’s a human instrument yada yada

Rocky isn’t really interested after five ish minutes, and Grace is ecstatic!! He can begin his experiment!!

Rocky is on his side of the bedroom, working on something while Grace talks to him and Grace mentions something he knows will peak Rocky’s interest. The moment Rocky stops what he’s doing and faces Grace, Grace blows on the whistle very lightly and says “thanks, bud!”

Rocky shivers for a moment and Grace is confused, does the sound hurt Rocky?? Before he can ask Rocky says “how Grace make Eridian sound??”

Grace fumbles, and blurts out “human instrument, remember? Don’t worry about it.” Rocky somehow makes a gesture that gives Grace “furrowed eyebrows” feeling, but Rocky drops it and Grace figuratively breathes a sigh of relief.

And so he continues on with his experiment, after awhile it’s not just when Rocky turns his attention to Grace, he’ll do it after Rocky does something favourable at ALL (turning his attention to Grace, helping Grace with something, etc)

Grace choosing his method of reward to be praise because well, Rocky is a sucker for it even if he won’t admit it/take the compliment. And more importantly, whenever Grace praises him he’ll usually react in someway (happy trilling, jazz hands) and that’s EXACTLY what he wants!! The response shows whether or not the experiment worked after all.

Rocky is a bit suspicious of Grace, he has a feeling that maybe Grace has caught onto his own evil doings (see post above) but well. He’s not exactly complaining.

After about a week or two of this, Grace decides to finally end this and test it out!! He’s too excited to wait any longer.

Rocky was just sitting idly when Grace blew the whistle, and as Grace expected Rocky bounces for a moment, trilling like Grace just said something particularly nice before pausing and glaring at Grace.

“Grace tricked Rocky!!” He fumes, and Grace immediately bursts into laughter, dropping the whistle by his side and curling up in his bed from how hard he’s laughing.

“I knew- I knew it would work!!” Grace struggles to say in his fit of laughter

“Grace do this for revenge?? When did Grace figure it out?!” Rocky demands, stomping his foot in question.

Grace pauses. Sits up in silence and asks,

“Wait wait, revenge for what?”

“… Grace don’t worry about it.”

“No no revenge for what??”

“GRACE STOP ASKING-“

Rocky clicker training Grace without Grace knowing..

When Rocky discovers how humans can just.. tune people out he is shocked and more importantly very annoyed because he’ll try to get Grace’s attention and half the time he’s just nodding along or just doesn’t answer while he’s doing something

So one day Grace is doing just that, barely nodding along while doing something on the laptop and Rocky has a thought; “loud noises wake up humans while they’re sleeping, could they also be used to snap them into focus?” Rocky tests his hypothesis with a loud whistle, and to Rocky’s utter delight Grace immediately snaps his head up and looks at Rocky with a confused expression.

So he starts using it when he wants Grace’s attention, repeating that same exact whistle with perfect volume and pitch, at first Grace is a bit annoyed but he usually forgets about it when Rocky starts talking, but slowly over time there’s barely a reaction, Infact, Grace starts reacting quicker and without thought.

Rocky, ever curious, sees if he can get Grace to associate other sounds with certain things. He’s sure it won’t work, but he’s bored out of his mind and well. For science!!

So whenever Grace eats, Rocky will make a barely audible clicking sound before hand and Grace doesn’t notice, after a week or two of this Rocky decides to test it out

So when Grace inevitably forgets to eat one day, instead of Rocky annoying Grace into doing it, he just does the clicking sound, he doesnt expect it to actually do anything but low and behold a moment later Grace looks up and says “huh. Hey Rocky I might take a break and go eat, wanna come?”

Rocky has to do everything in his power not to cackle evilly with his new found power

Edit: there’s a Grace follow up now. What am I doing with my life.

The polar opposite of corporate accounts trying to come across as hip and super friendly are the ones for libraries, aquariums, parks systems and the like, that are basically just trying to get people excited about learning and the wonder of history/science by posting things like this:

You know how much I would lose my mind if I was at an aquarium and turned a corner to see a wild ass heron staring at a fish tank

Simons being absolutely crushed between a buff stick and a rock.

But it's exactly where he wants to be.

Finally got a new iPad, I simply cannot explain how much easier it is to draw on something that isn’t ten years old, it didn’t fully restart, it’s not even hot! Heaven, so anyway here’s this sketchy thing to get back into it because I’ve been doing like actual oil painting for weeks.

Okay, as much as I love Rocky extending Grace's life without telling him, consider: Rocky *does* tell Grace, Grace just then somehow manages to like. Horrendously misinterpret what the treatment is actually for. Like.

Eridian Doctor: We went through the human genome and found a bunch of places with old broken DNA repair mechanisms so we came up with a gene editing therapy that fixes them in order to extend your lifespan.

Grace: *flashbacks to when Rocky found out that humans can experience long term effects from lower doses of radiation exposure and Grace wasn't being as careful as he should have been back when they first met because he still thought this was gonna be a suicide mission*

Grace (internally): Oh, so cancer prevention! Got it!

Grace: Sounds good!

*like 100 years later*

Grace: Hey Rocky, how am I not dead yet?

Rocky: ???

[pig-lota]

Eridian doctor: this treatment will increase your bone density to prevent them breaking

Grace internally: Oh right, low gravity can cause bone degradation. Makes sense that after so long in space it'd be good

Grace: sounds good to me!

One modification to the LPR5 gene later

Grace falls off a cliff

Grace: Hey why didn't I break any bones???

Rocky: ??? We made your bones strong statement

They add more salt or something to the water in his enclosure so that he can still swim comfortably despite the increased density.

Some BloodyMary doodles from a couple days ago!

Been messing around with my design of Simon <3

[howtowriteathesis]

If this is a sequel to the comic I made, raise your hand if you want a scientific investigation into Simon's mouth!!

And its 3 languages, plus why the heck is Eel like his second consciousness lol

I did this in one afternoon, I really can't believe it! Plus, I had to go and fight with an educational center to get my documents changed, so it really was a productive afternoon!

[thatluckyboi]

Finally drew a finished piece of the crackship yaoi that's invaded Tumblr's collective consciousness

I know the background is shit, don't look too hard at it

[birdykane]

Simon and Rocky focused doodles while I swim through projects.

Edit: This is a continuation of this idea :P

Transcript: Yesterday my cousin said that my rooster wasn't a real rooster. He said he's a Walmart rooster. *chicken noises* Does this not look like a real rooster to you? *chicken makes a sound again* Sure, he's small, but he has feelings.

[faeblesmith]

important context this person looks and sounds like they’re gonna cry

[lastoneout]

Also important to note that the rooster appears to be roughly the size of a large pigeon.

[lastoneout]

The pigeon people have informed me he is the size of a normal pigeon, or perhaps even a small pigeon. Fucking rip.

[hunterxmilo]

Who knew the eldritch eel merman you befriended would be so nice to take naps with? Both Rocky and Grace find Simon's purring vibrations very soothing to fall asleep to.

Here is for those who wanted to see my take on merman!Simon :) And yes he is a big boy who will protect these two from any harm that could come from the ocean!

(Been getting a lot of progress done on my project so I decided to indulge in another Bloodymary piece (I could not wait I had to get this out of my system so oh well about that second poll lol) which means next one I'll be going back to another Cat!Simon scenario again inspired by @wraithillustrates ! Also this only took my a couple of hours this time so I get to go to bed at a decent time for once woohoo!
