Having Eridian's "question" indicator be tapping the ground twice is very endearing, but also, it makes so much sense!!! It's a literal request for more information! They echolocate, of course when they're confused they'd want to create more sound to get a better look what they're trying to understand!!! You can totally see how this would translate from "questioning" physical things in their environment to intangible things, like statements made by other people. Maybe it's even something that starts with Eridian children — being less used to vocalisations and finding tapping to create noise easier — that just gets carried into adulthood, sort of like babies calling "mama" because that's the easiest sound for them to make. Just... what a good little detail to have. Chef's kiss.

I love you complex puppets requiring multiple puppeteers. I love you giant spaceship set. I love you zero gravity wiring rig that was apparently hellish to be hooked up to. I love you rotating lighting apparatus that emulates the changing lighting of the centrifuge portion of the ship. I love you chicken wire and fairy lights petrova line shot. I love you practical effects enhanced WHEN NECESSARY by CGI. I love you project hail mary.

finally hopping on this trend! the creator of this template in particular has mentions off i think but their name is on the template right there. i dont remember who started the trend tho T-T

this one honestly isnt that good but i just liked the idea of the eridan neutral committee that sends messages that dont technically have anything wrong with them but are still kind of threatening with no context.

Do you think Grace is starting to catch on that there are multiple committees?

Inspired by an Eridian Welcome Committee post by @orlando-in-love

As always, thanks to @justcakethanks for the template and original inspiration of the EWC

Edit: I forgot to thank @edenisquiet for the EHC

I love that Grace says he and Rocky "haven't run into anything where our cultures clash" while they're actively navigating two pretty major points of difference. From Grace's perspective, being watched in your sleep is sort of unnerving; for Rocky it's imperative. From Rocky's perspective, eating is taboo and private; for Grace it's a casual, social activity. When Grace says they haven't run into any culture clashes, he's just woken up to Rocky watching him and now he's eating breakfast. It's obviously not true that they have no conflicts in their social norms! It's just that they instinctively accommodate each other with curiosity and empathy, finding ways to bend on the things that matter to each other and explain when something is really important to themselves. Grace has spent his life holding other people at arm's length, and then in Rocky he meets someone who makes him want to do the work, and that work becomes so natural he doesn't even realise he's doing it.

saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

ALSO

It's not as if this shit has been around SOOO LONG. We all existed JUST FINE before this shit became THE THING someone decided to shove in our face like...

beggars-opera

I saw a response to this going around that basically said "this is like a meth head asking someone who's never done drugs how they could possibly survive a day without meth"

I absolutely love the Eridian welcoming committee comics, and although the eridian hating comics feel completely non-canon to me, I still appreciate the comedy of them. Anyway, I thought of this one after weeks of wishing I had something funny and hopefully it works.
