i listened to the director's commentary last night while i was sceeencapping and they mentioned that when rocky says his name its more like a

"I am Rocky, first of my name, of the east Rockies and my people have been mechanics here for generations" sort of clan introduction than simply his given name

which makes a lot of sense that the little raspberry chirp he makes for grace's name is so short! bc he doesn't know anything about grace yet.

also means that that other ppst about adrian helping to come up with a full name for grace so he can introduce himself as "doctor ryland grace" would be absolutely accurate. as he became more well known, his name would get longer.

ALSO ALSO when rocky says adrian's name-- is he saying like "adrian, second of their name, of the dark caverns and cold stone"

or is he like "adrian, love of my life, most loyal and beautiful and honorable, strongest soul ive ever known"

bc that man gets INTO saying his mate's name, is all im sayin'

i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK

grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?

Doing stuff "childish" is okay and even good actually

- If using plates and silverware meant for kids means you will eat more often and/or find more joy out of eating, good! *

- If using a divided plate means you are going to feel more comfortable eating, good!

- If having a water bottle with your favorite character/show on it means you are going to drink more water, good!

- If having children's toothbrushes and toothpaste means you are going to brush your teeth more often, good!

- If watching tooth brushing videos aimed at kids makes brushing more enjoyable/helps prompt you to brush correctly, good!

- If taking a stuffed animal or other toy out with you means you are going to feel a little safer, good!

- If using a nightlight (esp one with characters on it) makes you feel safer and helps you sleep better, good!

- If you find coloring in books made for children/simpler pictures more enjoyable, good!

- If decorating your living space with "childish" things with characters or bright colors is going to make your space more enjoyable/usable, good!

- If using organization systems and prompts aimed at children is going to help you actually use them, good!

- If you enjoy media aimed at children, and it brings you joy and makes your days a little easier, good!

No matter what your age is, you are allowed to use the things that bring joy into your life or make your life easier to manage. You do not need to "grow up" or "do it like an adult". You can do it in whatever way works best for you. There should be no shame in it. I think some of us want to beat the allegations that autism makes us more "childlike" thinking it makes us more palatable, when having "age-inappropriate interests" are a commonly known trait. It is normal to have autistic traits when you have autism. You don't need to hide it or pretend you don't. Yes I know not all autistics are interested in this stuff either but that's not my focus

* also there have been studies done that people tend to absorb more nutrition from foods they enjoy, so you are doing yourself a huge favor by making eating fun!

Post-PHM Headcanon: Grace's Eridian students create little constructs as gifts for him. Grace teaches them about Earth beaches/ oceans and they're all amazed. Grace mentions offhand the ways his artificial beach is different to a real beach, like the lack of shells, and within days, his students gift him buckets of hand-made shells to litter his beach. The Eridian equivalent of giving him their drawings to hang up in the classroom.

Grace walks up and down the beach, arranging the shells in the sand, placing them far enough from the waves that they won't get washed away. Rocky grumbles that Grace's house is going to FILLED now because Grace made such a fuss over their gifts, but Grace is smiling so wide it hurts and when one of the shells accidentally gets swept away by the surf, Rocky barrels into the water to rescue it for him

Why hide this in the tags, OP?

Your face opening is in sad mode. Why, question.

sign of the times

[nebulosecloud]

Grace explaining to Rocky all of the resourceful low cost ways he is collecting materials for his Eridian students to do experiments and Rocky going "If you need something just ask. We can make it for you question?" and he doesn't understand why Grace is tearing up (His classroom budget on Earth was $100 for the whole year).
