*Rocky and Grace playing hide and seek in the dark (Rocky is always hiding because, you know, echolocation)*

Grace: *on his hands and knees* I feel the vibrations in the floor. *taps the floor repeatedly*

Rocky: *unafraid because he knows humans need their eyesight and have not evolved to echolocate*

Grace: *clicks his fingers in one direction, then clicks them in Rocky’s direction*

Grace: *gasp*

Grace: *pokes Rocky’s sphere*

Rocky:

Carl: Dr. Grace isn’t dead. Stratt told me he went to another planet where he can run and play with other scientists and she wouldn’t lie about that

I need to start looking actual references before drawing...

[floofle-universe]

Adrian and Grace are still getting used to each other, I like the idea of Rocky and Grace already having an established dynamic, one that Adrian is perfectly okay with of course but she’s still warming up to Grace themself. And unexpectedly they start to have interest in getting closer.

[pomellon]

Been sitting on these for a solid month now so I figured it’s time to post em! AU in which an aging and frail Grace gets his consciousness transfered to an eridian body to extend his life :D

Some notes:

-Grace did not design the body himself, but was encouraged to pick a phenotype to grow it from so he opted for an orange colouration and the genetic traits that came with it. The science behind growing the body was based on the me-burger experiments.

-The body was grown to be older than Grace’s human age to make sure he would still be seen as a mature adult, but he’s still somewhat younger than Rocky.

-He requested having the scar of Rocky’s handprint tattooed onto one of his arms.

-He struggled with finding his balance and voice at the start, and grew a bad habit of not fully using the mobility of his fifth limb, either slightly dragging it or keeping it raised and out of the way. This resulted in a lot of tripping and stumbling but he figured it out eventually! …Mostly!

-He was able to pick up the language pretty fast since he was already familiar but his voice remains pretty “flat” sounding to other eridians. This is a somewhat uncommon but not rare speech impediment on Erid, akin to human stutters, so he gets by okay and most eridians might just struggle reading his emotional tones until they get used to it. At the start this made him hesitant to use his voice but Rocky and Adrian were quick to encourage him into several scientific yap sessions to make him more comfortable!

Potentially more doodles and situations to be added in the future :D

[mushroomtiefling]

I ended up loving this au so much that I made some doodles of my own:

I love Eridian Grace and his polycule. While the doodle didn't end of making it, I can imagine Grace tapping his foot like a human would and stimming using different notes.

Imagine humanity communicating with with the eridians decades after Grace's "death" and being very confused about why the head of the eridian communicators claims to be Ryland Grace. The man that served as a childhood hero to many of them is not only still alive but now somehow an eridian himself?

Respect to OP for drawing those markings over and over bc i got tired of doing them after the first 2 lol. The little pockets on the arms/legs were last minute to avoid drawing the markings again.

Tumblr sorta fried the image but whatever

Bonus bc I've been getting really attached to bloodymary lately:

Rendering rocks is hard T-T

He was based off this rock but I was struggling to draw the colored specks and shines properly.

[curls-cat]

don't get me wrong aroace ryland grace is a fantastic headcanon and i love that the point of the movie is friendship. however. i am a simple man. i see two characters who are willing to die for each other AND CANNOT TOUCH ON PAIN OF DEATH and i want them to have kinky sex about it

Yes!

Also...

Movie!Rocky is a nudist and a freak by eridian standards who doesn't mind eating in public.

Book!Grace: "Can I watch?" And "We discussed each other's biology explored each others bodies... for science of course."

He also compares Rocky to his ex-girlfriend.

Also Book!Grace questions whether he's gay like as one of the first things when trying to figure out who he is.

It's also perfectly possible he can be aroace AND very kinky.

This world is so beautiful. People are shipping Ryan gosling and markiplier. Because they were both in space movies you see

[fangs-4-fags]

Tumblr users love to do things like this. I DO NOT mean this in a mocking way to be completely clear. I think it's cute. It reminds me of back in the day when people shipped jack frost and elsa cause they both have ice powers.

[fangs-4-fags]

Or like the superwholock thing. Tumblr users like to go "I like this thing AND that thing.. What if my FAVORITE CHARACTERS met each other? Would that be cool or WHAT!" And the thing is it's absolutely adorable

[fangs-4-fags]

You can say it's cringe or bad or missing the point of the movie all you want but I don't care. Yeah man, I bet it would be really cute if there was a happy ending and the blood murder man (in space) got saved by the dorky science teacher (in space) and they had yaoi moments. I'm so glad you're having fun

[xxthedeadgodxx]

wait until you hear about bloodymary on the rocks.

they’re shipping markiplier and ryan gosling with ryan gosling’s space rock alien and the space rock alien’s mate in one big polycule.

it’s beautiful i love this fandom <3 <3

[fascinationstreetmp3]

thinking about gracerockyadrian and boiling with barely contained jealousy that ryland grace gets to have two beautiful alien rock wives and i have 0. happy for them all though

[trueshredguitar]

what the fuck are you doing if you write a gracerocky fic and you actively choose to make it not poly gracerockyadrian. writing a fic with infidelity in it and it’s NOT in the kinky way, it’s just “oh yeah rocky straight up cheated on his partner even after knowing adrian wanted him back and adrian’s furious and hurt and then grace and rocky get together for good.” “i never liked the eridians are poly thing so rocky and adrian part ways in this fic it’s more realistic this way” Girl you have GOT to go to hell!!!!!!!

[cursed--alien]

so since Eridians are canonically cosexual, I think pebbles refer to their parents as "[trait]-parent". Rocky and Adrian's pebbles (Grace's too, just not biologically) refer to their caregivers as "large-parent" (Adrian), "small-parent" (Rocky), and "[human*] parent" (Grace)

*the actual word is, in fact, "space blob"
