Rocky with OCD & PTSD

i think we need to get hornier about the medical aspects of grace on erid. the medfet possibilities are endless—they need baselines to understand the human body, and the best way to learn is through hands on instruction. the textile-reader rocky uses to translate screens to his tablet? yeah that’s going inside of grace

[funkyyylizard]

she's silly

[petrova-line]

screening through my followers and don’t even know where to begin. if you’re proudly telling people you’re “minor attracted” on tumblr maybe 1) don’t fucking follow me 2) have some shame & delete your account and 3) walk into the ocean

[petrova-line]

about to come out to someone irl as aroace for the first time

DON’T REMIND ME ABOUT PSHAW

i’m fuckign crying the post was 1 minute old when this was sent. the wound is still fresh, i promise we will rebuild

[petrova-line]

grace giving the eridians access to silicon computers and they go insane with GIS. geology and geography interest skyrockets as scientists thrum to create satellites. geological surveys are done to better understand their planet and how astrophage has damaged it, and they use that information to heal.

yeah that’s cool, but also grace gets to watch eridians invent geoguesser in real time. they become extremely competitive about it—his class goes bananas for their daily warmup round. guessing the daily coordinates is the first “argument” grace has ever seen rocky and adrian have. it has eridian society in a chokehold

he’s scared of what’ll happen if the eridians find out about wordle.

i don’t want to discredit grace, but how hard could flying the hail mary possibly be

[petrova-line]

torn between “oh i’d have this in the bag” and “oh my god i’d be shaking and pissing myself”

Can someone watch them for me please

[starrose17]

No one to watch you sleep.

[petrova-line]

genuinely sometimes i forget that it isn't canon that grace stays on erid, receives a cell transplant and becomes part eridian, and joins a culturally-normal qpr mating triad. they have an entire child. what do you mean that's just some bullshit i made up.

Gosh I love the way you do the Eridian writing system. Is it just punctuation you do on the fly or is there a purpose for the symbols?

I use a few versions: punctuation for comedic effect, punctuation and tone clarification for translated Eridiani*, and full musical notation for untranslated. Most of the words in musical notes remain consistent in actual fics and I have a google doc of them, but sometimes if I'm adding Eridani to a drawing or quick post it's just random notes I smash together ^^

*I call the language Eridani instead of Eridian because there's only so many times I can put the word Eridian in a lore doc before it stops sounding like a real word lmfao.

As for the punctuation, it's used to clarify tones! Eridiani works like a song—imagine trying to comprehend the intricacies of a guitar, singer, piano, bass, and drums at once. To best put this into writing, I use subscript and superscript modifiers to a base.

"♩" functions as a "directional" noun. It clarifies toward whoever is being talked to without a modifier, but adding another layer to the speech gives it more clarification. Rocky talking to Grace would be ♩, but talking to Adrian about Grace would be "♩^[Grace]". These modifiers also work contextually and change depending on who you're talking to, so Rocky talking to another Eridian about the human as a mate might use "♩^[Grace-mated(RockyAdrian-Closed)]". Grace's students use "♩^[Savior-Grace]". His full name modifier would be "Grace-Doctor-Savior-Captain-Teacher-AdrianRocky-Mated," aka something I play around with and am not 100% set on yet lol.

Sentences start with a tone indicator. ♯ is for a sharper note, often used for excitement or heavy emotion. If you're switching back to a more neutral note, you put ♮ before the next sentence. I follow the tone indicator with a punctuation symbol -> a neutral question would start with "♮?".

To end an Eridian speaking, I use 𝄐 followed by no period.

More examples:

Eridani to English literal translation: Hello Friend! Greetings from Earth. Humans occupy it. You well, question? 

Eridani to English, literal with tone clarification: ♯! Hello, Friend ♮. Greetings from Earth ♮. Humans occupy it. ♮? How are you 𝄐

Eridani, written in full musical notation: ♯!♫♩ ♬♪ ♮.♬♫♪♪♩ ♫♪ ♬♪♩♩ ♮.♫♬♬♪♩♩ ♫♪♩♬♬♪ ♪^♪ ♮? ♩ ♬♫♪♪♪♫♫ 𝄐
