Wanted to have a go at drawing Rocktiz........ and then had to do Adrian. and Grace is here too
Went to work on an animatic (Bloodymary) my motivation said "Fuck you" so I did this
aahh sorry for the inactivity, i was #artfighting... here's a little phm sketch i made in the meantime
So a wizard and an ancient construct walk into a tavern.
two of them
pleaseee can we keep it please please please
I don't understand why "Adrian doesn't like Grace at first" is as popular as it is on fanfics.
Imagine for a second you are Adrian surname The Eridian. Your spouse has been missing and presumed dead for around a decade, and suddenly one day an alien spaceship comes into orbit. And you cheer "Yay alien species have realized we have the same problem and have come to either give us a solution or join or efforts, too bad my mate is still gone."
Except he is not actually gone, because the eridian equivalent of a carebear decided to save them. And he doesn't want anything in return, in fact he is well aware that he might die A PAINFUL SLOW DEATH, shortly after fighting just to get the love of your life back to you. But it's ok :) because Rocky (yes he gave them a silly name) is my best friend! Oh- Are you ok-
No, Rocky is first and foremost a Grace hater (affectionate)
After the Beetles have returned to Earth and everyone learns exactly what happened to Grace, someone would probably make the story into a Broadway musical at some point. Kinda the Earth counterpart to @autumn-sweet-fae’s Eridian Opera idea.
The actor playing Grace would have to be ATHLETIC. Not just because Grace is muscular, but because he’s constantly jumping around, climbing the ladders of the Hail Mary. He’d also be doing lots of quick-changes when jumping from scenes on the ship to flashbacks on Earth. Since he’s always wearing a jumpsuit, it could be pretty quick; just unzip the jumpsuit, throw on the fox cardigan or a lab coat or his yellow raincoat, and vice versa.
He could also have little moments when he excitedly explains all the science he’s doing in terms the audience can understand, not just to Carl or Rocky but also directly to the audience, Bill Nye style. And he could throw in dated slang from back before he left Earth. It would perfectly capture his trying-to-be-the-cool-teacher-to-middle-schoolers persona.
They could have Rocky as a puppet, puppeteered by a team in ninja outfits just like the real puppeteers did for the movie. Or when he’s in the ball, it could be a clear ball that’s remote controlled to roll around the set while Rocky is projected onto/into it with screens/holograms.
During scenes that take place in space, the actors who play the other humans could act like a Greek Chorus, singing from the wings to cheer Grace on or remind him of the mission (very much like how the choir was used in the movie score).
It would be a pretty big set, but I’m imagining something on a swivel: one half of the set is the Hail Mary and on the other side is whatever other settings they need for a scene, be it Earth settings like Grace’s classroom, a biology laboratory, Stratt’s Vat, Baikonur Cosmodrome, etc, or space scenes that aren’t inside the ship like the Tunnel or Time Go Fishing.
The Hail Mary would be pretty big for a set, but if they use the book design for the ship, they could fit it into a three-story set like the Lost Boys Musical: Dormitory on bottom, Lab in the middle, and Cockpit up top. They could add Rocky’s tunnels during the intermission.
Obviously there must be at least one song (preferably more) that Stratt sings directly to Grace. Not Sign of the Times, but an original song with the same vibe, minor key and telling Grace they can meet again, somewhere far away. And at the end when Stratt receives the videos on Earth, she’ll sing the same line but now in major key.
Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.
So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.
I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.
This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.
ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?
DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.
ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?
DOC: It looks like eight.
ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?
DOC: Two.
ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?
DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.
ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?
DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.
ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?
DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.
ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.
WALGREENS PHARMACY TECH WITH 5 NOSE RINGS AND PURPLE HAIR STARING AT ME: ........... OKAY! It'll be ready in five minutes. You wanna come work here?
Kill them with kindness
BUT KILL THEM
grace, sniffling: :(
adrian, fussing over him: are you okay?
grace: yeah, don't worry. it's just these onions you guys synthesized for me
rocky, to the onions: what the fuck did you say to him, question?
Grace having a very Eridian time of his life.
(I also have this up on my etsy! <3)
bringing this to tumblr because a realer thing has literally never been said
dont mind me just thinking about the possibility of carl being the one to pack graces stuff for him both times. san fran and baikonur. once a stranger and once a friend. twice an order, carried out without consent, always a job. how did he choose what to collect? was it easier or harder the second time? did grace get a say at all, was there a list? did he leave the apartment upturned, wardrobe and bathroom cabinet raided. did he take a passing glance at the bills and coupons on the countertop, did he note the absence of picture frames. was there a sense of déjà vu, the second time? did he understand graces habits well enough to know where he would find everything? did he linger at all. did he keep something, just the smallest trinket. anything. or would that upset his enduring professionalism. is an invasion of privacy an act of care? does it matter how carefully he folded and tucked everything away, does it matter if the violation is gentle? does it matter if grace will never know and this is all there will ever be?
So, unlike Eridians, we discovered fire very early on and so our civilization kinda grew up with combustion right? We've had thousands of years to normalize it and get comfortable with the idea of using it casually for warmth or cooking etc.
In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.
> Be me. Rocky the Eridian cosmonaut
> Tell Grace about Eridian space elevator design made out of Xenonite. Grace very impressed, says humans only dream about making space elevator.
> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.
> Grace explains Humans strapped other Humans on top of Fire-Explodatron-9000 machines made out of weak human metal, basically Eridian cardboard, then shot them into orbit. Grace say the fire it makes is quite pretty to look at
so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?
like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.
