I really love all of the headcanons about rocky essentially accidentally teaching grace baby-talk as pidgin aboard the hail mary and has to re-learn real eridian.

but now I'm emotional about a version of this where like. I think eridian as a language wouldn't really change based on memory failing as it's passed down but cultural phenomena and evolutionary anatomical changes and new research and understanding of concepts in the wake of the astrophage crisis etc etc would definitely impact it. so I'm thinking about a rocky who touches down on his home world with not a clue what anyone is talking about and he's trying desperately to pass on this information about how to save grace and he's giving them all the resources he can but it's just out of his hands because he can't connect and communicate in the same way. he thinks well if he can't get his melody to make any sense maybe he can thrum, maybe he can feel and think and will them to take what's in his brain and make it happen, make everything okay, but oh god what is that nails on a chalkboard horrible cacophony oh mothererid make it stop make it stop. and so he cries and wails and begs for adrian and finally they come and of course he would know adrian's carapace with his auricles shut but their song is.. different. now. it's hollower and more resonant, higher pitched where time has worn their voiceboxes smooth and the words they use swim in rocky's brain and he whines and trills and scratches at the xenonite barrier because grace is the only one who understands him now and he's DYING and what is he supposed to do.

and then eventually even when they all do figure out how to communicate and grace is healing and rocky can breathe again, the isolation and the oxygen exposure has affected his voiceboxes and his audio processing more than he realized when it was just him and grace and he's got so much human slang and references in his repertoire now and adrian puts so much effort into understanding his choppy outdated and wavering tones with a sort of earth lilt they have no reference for and he loves them for it and grace is. grace is picking up real full-fledged eridian with no problem. his pentatonic keyboard keeps up with ease and rocky.. can't. he's understanding better and better every day, eridian brains outmatch humans on recall by leaps and bounds, but humans are adaptable. 4 years of chopped and screwed simplifications becomes like 2 years of intentional study surrounded by native speakers and grace is a natural. and rocky is stuck with a brain that is completely caught up but easily overwhelmed auricles and a fragile crystalline database and a larynx that is physically incapable of making all the right tones.

#let that rocky be fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!#I like rocky should be chronically ill too. is that okay.#and i think it would be really hard emotionally when grace who is an alien and has only been on YOUR HOME PLANET for 2 years #can comprehend and speak your language better than you can.#couple this with the idea that rocky was kind of a social outcast before the mission and you get a rock with abandonment issues.#scared that grace doesnt need him anymore and adrian will like grace more than they like him now and they'll find lots of new friends #because he sees grace and adrian working together a lot and can't fully understand them and its so heartbreaking #BUT ACTUALLY they've been talking about how much they both love rocky and what they can do for him to better support his needs #and they end up working with some of rocky's engineering colleagues to make him a fancy xenonite hearing aid / aac device #idk some freaky alien science that's like a wearable version of their translator but updated with modern eridian-ese and english #with a text to speech thing that works both directions.#AND grace reveals that he's been teaching his class human-isms and sort of inventing the equivalent of eridian sign language.#which. on account of grace being their savior. spreads through eridian culture like wildfire.#so now they all have a special little eridian/english mishmash #that ends up helping other like. elderly eridians and hatchlings with birth defects or malformed resonation chambers etc etc #someone write the fic. smiley face.#make the rock disabled. STAT.#project hail mary
