Hand in hand.
really good trope is grace being like wow my revolting leaking human body disgusts rocky so badly he can't even stand to be in the same room as me meanwhile rocky's in the other room laying a medically concerning number of eggs
#SHANE ON ILYA'S LAP sexual comfort -> emotional comfort -> reassuring comfort
the parallel drawn between ilya and his mom isn't meant to be subtle. she was so funny and beautiful. she was so sad. my dad was so hard on her. she would've loved you like i love you. so when ilya says he doesn't want shane to think she was weak, that line makes me want to scream. he has so much shame around his depression when it comes to shane. he doesn't want shane to think He is weak. (spoilers) he spends all of tlg keeping his issues secret from shane because he's determined to "fix" it on his own so shane never has to know, ilya never has to be a failure or an inconvenience to him. so in the end when he is finally in a place to come out and say listen if you're going to commit to me you need to know that i'm like my mom and i might always be - and for shane to just hear him and say well i'll be right here - is a massive release of shame for ilya
goshhhh I love that hudson plays show!shane as way more emotionally vulnerable than book!shane. show!shane is always rolling over and showing ilya his soft underbelly (often without even realizing it) and ilya is always like AAA AAAAAAAA YOU CANāT DO THAT YOU CANāT LET PEOPLE SEE YOU FEEL and then shaneās big brown eyes start getting all shiny/wet with tears and his bottom lip wobbles a little and ilya is like well now I have to kms. or take care of you forever. AGH
shane's big ass smile when ilya squeezes his tit and calls him a pervert is very important to who #myshane is

āavatar aang: the last airbenderā ????? I am sorry WHOOOO named this. Who did this. Why.
"average eridian has like 30 kinks" factoid actualy just statistical error. average eridian super vanilla and waits until lifelong bond ceremony before mating. Savior Rocky, who lived in earth ship for 4 years and watched 10,000 hours of questionably inappropriate videos as a bonding activity with his alien mate, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
i was just spitballing on notquiteaghost's post here but now i want to chew on it. so.
obsessed with the idea of grace and rocky being so undefinable there's actually a cultural concept for it in eridian culture: one soul across two bodiesā¦. insert convenient folk tale here (because this is fanon and i can do what i want)
adrian has their husband return from so many years away, and his soul has expanded to bridge two bodies; it's both terrifying and an honour. it's happened a handful of times in eridian culture: where at least two individuals---sometimes more---thrum so intensely that they enmesh, and become one person
it's sparsely recorded because it's so rare and simultaneously so sanctified and also considered so aggressively rude to speak about that it's kind of this knowable-unknowable concept all at once. like referring to rocky or grace with their prior individual names is the height of rudeness. they have a shared name now
legally and socially rocky and grace are considered one individual. speaking to one part of them means you have also spoken to the other. to honour one means honouring them both. their preferences are united, something that grace, with his human lean to individualism and agency, genuinely can't grasp. but because this is a form of individuality to eridians. it's just wider than the human conception
and by needing to be close to rocky, by refusing to be parted from him, by needing him to feel settled, he has apparently been consenting to this all along, to the point where the eridians see their codependence---not as strict romance or strict friendship, but as their need for one another---and are like "oh we know what this is. cool."
grace has been thinking of it as just. something. their relationship. just guys being dudes. but there's a legal precedent and social structure for it on erid, and he has already consented to it over and over again
(rocky, of course, has known for years now, on the mary, long before grace came to save him)
woke up after 16 hours to dress up a rock instead of doing literally anything else
On the way to Erid + beach episode
AU where they figured out how to touch each other. don't worry about it
It is IMPERATIVE that Rocky finds doing some things to Grace VERY erotic, but they do absolutely nothing for Grace. Something stupid. Like Rocky being obsessed with Grace's sinus cavity (such complex folds! Like a tiny cave system!) so he likes to shove the pointy tips of his finger in Grace's nostrils (Holes always open! So scandalous!!) to echolocate them better and Grace just. Having to deal with that. Laying on his back dick soft with Rocky's fingers in his nose just. Hanging out. While Rocky has fun.
Of course, he gets pavlov'd into finding this hot because Rocky always follows it up with a handy so he's got that to look forward to. Enjoy your new, bizarre fetish buddy
It is also really important that the same happens on Rocky's end. Grace of course tries to be respectful and all but can't help but project human pleasureable activities on Rocky. Like Grace licking and sucking at his carapace, running his fingers everywhere he can touch on Rocky, and Grace gets so desperate he's panting and dry humping thinking "god I hope Rocky is enjoying this"
Rocky feels vaguely disgusted and neutral on being basically treated like an ice cream, but Grace looks nice when he's so desperate so he'll endure a little bit
(Later Grace tries to experimentally insert his fingers on Rocky's ventral seam and Rocky screams and reminds him that his mouth is in there and Grace surely would not like his fingers getting chomped and digested)
YES YOU UNDERSTAND
They both find each other hot! But not everything, not immediately, and not in the same way or for the same reasons.
The breakdown goes like this:
Well that was Not Great. But he puts up with my weirdness, so. -> I know you need this so go ahead :) -> well. it's kinda hot the way it makes him so wet and desperate and I'm just standing here unaffected... -> oh yeah... put your fucking mouth on me... keep trying to lick me... -> Uh Oh! I think I'm fundamentally changed forever!
and it goes both ways.
rocky must be as close as possible to watch sleep. for safety
My favourite Adrian headcanon is that they're a biologist/zoologist who has seen so much shit, they're completely unphased by any and every alien habit of Grace's.
I mean full-on khaki-shorts-wearing, traversing-wilderness-with-nothin'-but-a-machete Adrian who yoinks snakes outta trees and pets swamp puppies and will unflinchingly dig around in elephant faeces for signs of a rare parasitic tapeworm if needed.
Oh, humans eat socially? No problem, Adrian has observed many many animals eat. Did you know that an obscure species of small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid also eats socially? Adrian can give you a not-so-short presentation on them.
Oh, the human has no external carapace and so its internal sounds are absurdly loud, wet and off-putting? No problem, Adrian was just conducting an expedition last month researching the incredible eridian animal, the Wet Loud Worm from the south-east region of Wet Loud Wormland. They're desensitised, it's fine.
Oh, Grace leaks often from many orifices and it can be a bit of a learning curve to get used to? No problem for Adrian, see Wet Loud Worm paragraph again!
Meanwhile, Rocky is bewildered as to how he's managed to third-wheel both of his relationships, because both Adrian and Grace are nerds who nerd out about things, and Adrian is shaking in their carapace with enthusiasm to learn more about human culture and biology, not to mention everything about earth animals. And yeah, sure, Grace might be a molecular biologist, but he'll be damned if he'll pass up an opportunity to learn about alien fauna from a fellow scientist, and yes, Adrian, he'd love to hear about the small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid, and he's so excited to learn more about the Wet Loud Worm, do go on.
