moreee pebble rocky and little grace hcs pretty please? š„ŗ ur mind .....
Of course!! šŖØš¦
This is again long and unorganized. Warning for mentions of their trauma!
Rocky makes xenonite figurines of everything he finds important. He has one of Grace and himself, Adrian and the rest of his family, his old crew, the ships, Eridian animals, etc. I donāt think he plays with them so much as looks at them and thinks. He lines them up and sits in the middle of them. Sometimes he gives them to little Grace to play with though because he knows he wouldnāt break them (he couldnāt break them even if he wanted to).
Rocky prefers to make contraptions to actually play with. Grace asks what they are, Rocky explains theyāre not really anything just little fidget toys and Grace is like OGHH!!!! I WANT!!! so they share them.
Pebble Rocky is very clingy. He has debilitating separation anxiety that just gets worse when heās regressed. He needs to have Grace close to him at all times. Rocky spent a lot of time completely alone and now it puts him in a stressful and self-destructive headspace. Grace usually has to chaperone him everywhere, not that either of them are complaining. Grace is happily glued to Rockyās side.
Grace introduces Rocky to a lot of his childhood games. He learns quickly that Rocky doesnāt have the stamina to run like a human can, nor do either of them have enough energy for a lot of common child/pebble activities. They end up playing a lot of more relaxed games and card/board/video games instead. Rocky also shares some games from when he was a pebble that arenāt uncomfortable for Grace to play, but a lot of those are for hatchlings, so theyāre generally reserved for when Grace is teeny tiny.
They have a lot of free time on the way to Erid so Grace picks knitting back up after he finds some supplies on the Hail Mary. With Rockyās help they make a yarn-like material out of xenonite/whatever Eridians use for fabric that he can use to make Rocky things. Rocky absolutely loves his sweaters from Gracie!
Rocky finds human technology SO FASCINATING! Grace could give pebble Rocky a TV remote or a regular ink pen to play with and heād be occupied for at least 15 minutes until he gets boredā¦ which is a long time for a pebble to be actively interested in something! The entire scene where Grace gives Rocky a tape measure. Yeah. Everything he gives him is getting fully investigated, taken apart and put back together.
Especially at first on the Hail Mary, Grace mostly regresses involuntarily due to stress/fear/pain. The idea of being in such a fragile and vulnerable state while All Of That was happening and he was still missing a lot of memories was terrifying for Grace, so he avoided regressing for a long time if he could help it. The first time he drifted into headspace comfortably was very special for both Grace and Rocky! Maybe they were just hanging out or watching a movie or something and he felt safe. Rocky was very glad to see Happy Pebble Grace, it was a long time coming.
They both eventually figure out what helps each other feel little comfortably. Theyāre also embarrassing to each other about it. Rocky is particularly insistent about reminding Grace about his basic bodily needs because he has the worst interoception ever. Rocky can literally hear when his body needs something before he realizes himself. Grace has to keep Rocky on track with pretty much everything because he will get distracted. Grace has learned that pebbles have exceptionally short attention spans.
Sort of an Eridian biology headcanon thats related to Rockyās regression. Grace also has found that pebbles have random quick periods of dormancy. Itās basically the Eridian equivalent of a power nap, where they stay conscious but their body is paralyzed for a short while to recharge. This is generally something adult Eridians donāt do because they grow out of the need and itās kind of socially inconvenient; pebbles require a lot more rest than adults but itās evolutionarily dangerous/unhelpful to be completely unconscious for most of the day. Let the body rest a little bit while staying conscious and parents can carry em around on top of their carapace.
^ This has become a sort of maladaptive habit for Rocky, as heāll put off properly sleeping for too long by exclusively pebble napping. This was especially bad when he was alone and didnāt have anyone to watch him. Grace is helping him get back on a healthier sleep schedule but old coping habits are tough to break.
Once he makes a proper xenonite suit, pebble Rocky loves cuddles from Grace even more than big Rocky. He likes to curl up against Grace or carefully crawl half-into his lap (more like sit between his legs and drape a couple of arms over him) and just listen to his heartbeat/body sounds. Sometimes Rocky pebble naps or falls asleep there without any warning and Grace is on Rocky Watch until heās up again. You just canāt move a sleeping pebble off of your lap. Also these moments are like victories for Grace because most of the time, pebble Rocky is extremely anxious about sleep. Heāll repeatedly ask Grace for reassurance that heās going to watch him sleep, that he wonāt go anywhere and wonāt leave him alone, that theyāll both wake up again, and so on. Him falling asleep so easily is a very big display of trust.
In the same vein, little Grace also needs a lot of reassurance from Rocky that heās not going to be abandoned or betrayed again. He sometimes hates to be touched and (unsuccessfully) hides from Rocky. Regression can be difficult for both of them, and they are both very patient with each other.
((Side note -> I think Eridians do hatch very vulnerable as they develop their carapace and learn about their environment, but theyāre somewhat precocial and can fend for themselves a little more than human babies can. Rocky learns that humans are born underdeveloped because of their large brain size and are pretty much fully dependent on parents/caregivers. -> Rocky got a little too doting for a while after that conversation. He did a lot of intense research about human development and psychology. Little Grace is not used to the constant attention and has a hard time with it at first. Heās had a life of disorganized attachments, broken trust and caregivers that hurt/leave him. It can be overwhelming.))
They regress together frequently, itās often a chain reaction. If one of them is little the other is probably gonna be close behind, they are so in sync. This is particularly common when theyāre both on Erid and donāt have to really worry about being big and responsible to watch each other. Adrian is there to make sure theyāre taken care of and safe, and so are their recovery teams if need be (although thatās not preferred).
Adrian loves to carry them both around on their carapace. It makes Rocky feel very small. Adrian has a baby sling hammock thingy for Grace. When heās in there, thatās his Adrian-enforced āno one except Rocky can bother Graceā time. You need the human for something? No way, heās in the sling youāre gonna have to come back later. Grace has learned to avoid doctorās appointments this wayā¦ as many as Rocky and Adrian allow him to get away with that is. Which is not many.
Rockyās definitely the more overbearing one for little Grace but itās only because heās worried and wants his Gracie to be safe!! Adrian is a biologist and researches Earth life a lot so theyāre a bit more relaxed about letting Grace do regular toddler things than Rocky is. āGraceās body is so fragile! It needs to stay inside in bed!!!ā āMy harmony, itās fine. Look, itās just playing on the beach- oh itās putting sand in its mouth. Hm.ā
Cg Stratt&Little Graceš«Iām an absolute sucker for Littles who are taller than their cg, Grace feels absolutely perfect for it. Carl for sure gives Stratt a hand when carrying Grace around the vat, such a clever boy but he is a little no matter what.
Grace is in a constant state of clinging, stage 5 clinger forever. Luckily Stratt doesnāt mind, her little boy can hold onto her for however long he likes.
i hate hate being an "unconventional" or "messy" or "impure" regressor :c it makes me feel so incredibly icky all of the time and like im not beinf little right,,,
i luve/hate bein regressed because i feel so so so stupid too:(((
i dont want to be little so much i hate hat e ahte it. hnmdmfjfnf i wish i had a caregiver :( i want to hold on to mommy or daddy and have rhem tell me everythng is okay ::(((
What is Grace like when heās eepy? :0 or what is his favorite toy/stuffed animal?
š I did see your other ask by the way! I want to stress that I do not mind similar or repeated requests, I always love expanding on topics my friend!
šIām still trying to fully flesh Graceās character out.. but Iād say his favorite toys would be a Puppy & Fox plushie, his chewies, and a guilty favorite of building blocks. I mean, who doesnāt appreciate some good olā blocks ;)
š¼Tired Grace is VERY grumpy, heās quick to throw a fit and honestly.. a bit of a brat. But give him a bottle and tuck him in and heāll be out like a light real quick.š¤
Hihi!! I love your art and hcs so much!!!!! AH! I'm still kinda new to phm but I have such a soft spot for baby Grace :'D I was wondering how Stratt and/or Rocky and Adrian would fair with little Grace having a tantrum or being really fussy?
Aaa!! Thank you my friend!
šHow Stratt handles a tantrum
Stratt doesnāt usually let it get to that point if sheās around, sheās scarily good at identifying when heās at his limit and either removing the stressor or moving him away from the stressor.
But if he does end up having a tantrum, she stays remarkably calm. She doesnāt yell but she doesnāt use a baby voice either, instead sheāll wait out the tantrum making sure he stays hydrated and safe.
After he calms down, sheāll talk him through it and usually he ends up going for a much needed nap.
š«How Rocky/Adrian handles a tantrum
Eridians are very instinct driven, when Grace begins melting down Rocky prioritizes physical comfort first. (Holding him, swaddling him, rumbling/purring) with LOTS of reassurance.
Adrian usually resorts to negotiations with Grace, starting with talking Grace through his emotions. Theyāll offer Grace small choices to help him regain his control. They are in general very nurturing towards Grace.
