i am absolutely obsessed with all of your PHM stuff, but particularly Erid and Earth.
i’m imagining Eridian seismologists receiving readings that almost resemble greetings and good tidings called out to a very dear friend but are pitched so low and also are coming from the planet? It must be a coincidence.
and human astronomers noticing that the auroras are dancing and almost forming shapes in the sky that almost look like ancient cave paintings if you squint and tilt your head.
and Earth’s seas sing and Erid clouds start swirling to make shapes and neither civilization can read it properly from their vantage point on the ground and communication wirelessly is impossible, besides are they really going to ask their new friends if their planet is haunted too?
i saw the post about human harmonizing and how eridians might listen in and if i could propose a song?
Sound of Silence, the pentatonix version specifically. I listened to it and i imagined the Salvestra crew singing it. They survived the ice age, they grew up when half the population was starving to death, they were there when news came about neighbors, they volunteered when Earth feared that their new friends were already gone.
the Sound of Silence, the silence of the stars we’ve watched for so so long finally being broken. By a species that /sings/ no less.
We are not alone, and even more than that, we are in this together.
also the fated prophecy on subway walls. The red string of fate, the track of the trolley problem, the path both Hail Mary and Blip-A carved.
anyways! I hope you know i’m going insane because you are amazing!! Also i love your art and i am also constantly thinking at least a little bit about the lost cousin species of our genus.
"You sing for me, and i'll draw for you"
a love from afar ✨ lightyears away to be precise
