and now that I have an adrian design I can spread some ambassador AU Adrian x Grace x Rocky propaganda
It was my plan to draw them since I saw zaphodaa post (tt). Absolutely adore this idea for Adrian as Meryl Streep
Finally no references were needed to draw Bloodymary
Humanizes your Rocks
human adrian to go with my human rocky :]
design thoughts under cut:
Adrian bad as hell, statement.
Some Bloodymary on the rocks nap time. No one save Simon, he’s right where he wants to be.
(Commissions open💫🫶)
I want you guys to know that in my bloodymary teachers au, despite the lack of near death experiences and being alone in space, Grace, Rocky and Adrian are STILL equally weird and codependent.
Like Simon rocks up one day, having very little experience with friendship or relationship (because of reasons I will explain later) and witnesses the insane dynamic of this married couple who are deeply in love and their weird friend who just kind of is there and who they love a lot but don't have romantic/sexual feelings for. Grace who lived with Rocky for years prior to the marriage while Rocky and Adrian were long distance, and didn't move out until well into their marriage when he decided he wanted his own space. Like Rocky and Adrian didn't actually have a particularly strong desire for him to move out it just kind of happened, and even then he lives down the road and comes round all the time for games night and movie night. Grace who talks about Adrian with as much, if not more reverence than Rocky. Rocky who brings in a packed lunch for Grace from Adrian some days because they know grace is stupid and forgets to eat.
Like to the point where, before Simon meets/knows about Adrian, he assumes that Grace and Rocky have some kind of weird will-they-won't-they arrangement (which he's trying not to get too disappointed about) and figures that's why grace is content with being, quote-unquote, "single". Until he finds out that Rocky is married and so in love with Adrian that nothing could change that, and the three of them are actually just really fucking strange in a way that nobody can fully understand.
It's really just "this is my husband Rocky. and this is Rocky's weird codependent queerplatonic best friend/coworker/work husband Grace. They come as a package deal, and I love them very much"
Eridian!BloodMary and Human!Adrian & Rocky
Where Rocky × Grace is almost the same thing, except Grace is an Eridian who doesn't have a mate and whines a lot about his peebles. [ Grace still went against his will | Rocky went because of the heavy heavy heavy threats against Adrian]
But Adrian is a human who loses their husband after Stratt send Rocky without their real consent. In despair, Adrian joins an alternative mission that is going to Tau Ceti. This alternative mission is funded by Eden, a private company owned by a group of billionaires. If Hail Mary carries three astronauts, Rosary has it eighteen people.
The plan of Rosary is the same of the Hail Mary, a group of people that are going to pu in a coma until Tau Ceti and then try to discover how to kill Astrophage.
Adrian doesn't know if he will ever see their husband again, but knowing that they died because of the same mission brings him a little peace.
In Hail Mary, only Rocky survives, and he doesn't nothing.
In Rosary, eleven people die in the coma, four finally wake up, and Adrian and two people don't wake up at the right time.
When Adrian wakes up, the rest of the crew explains things for them:
First, the only pilot alive is now Captain Ava.
Second, because of a miscalculation, they are not in Tau Ceti but in a far galaxy that they called "Rapture" because all stars died because of Astrophage.
Third, the only thing ""alive""/visible in this system is a moon that has a "Blood Ocean" that scientists believe to be a high concentration of Astrophage. And happily they tell Adrian that they are going to send someone down there.
Adrian got really scared that maybe they are gonna be the subject, but the scientists said that they found the perfect subject, and as a biology scientist, Adrian is gonna love!
They take Adrian to a cell and then show him a rock...
" Our subject is a Dark Rock with metal chunks "
The Crew Laught a lot, and Adrian just looked confused
" Simon, wake up, stupid fucking rock " Judas, a old engineer, use some kinda of mechanism inside the cell to poke the rock.
So the Rock "Simon" finally moved while emitted harmonical whines that looked painful. The creature looked hurt and afraid.
" It needs an Amonia atmosphere to live, and by our experiments, it can survive to 140 degrees, so the concentrate Astrophage will not hurt them so bad..."
What?
"It may look stupid, but this species may be very intelligent. We found this little guy in a spaceship alone, its species may be great in engineering, but they didn't know enough to survive space"
Adrian feels this deep connection with Simon, so while the scientists build a Iron Lung ,Adrian is trying to translate what Simon says and give him resources to escape from Rosary.
The first time Simon is sent to the "Blood Ocean," he gets extremely sick, and the scientists get super happy in doing experiments with him
Adrian gets really really really afraid because talking with Simon is very clear that exposure to those levels of Astrophage is extremely dangerous and can cause mental damage.
Simon was hearing voices and having hallucinations, and his shell has kinda burnt.
Adrian gets really scared, then plans on freeing Simon.
BUT
They get caught, and the crew send both of them to the blood Moon. Simon is so afraid for his human because he knows the submarine is fucking broke and leaking so much. Concentrate Astrophage is extremely toxic to all living creatures, but human skin is more sensitive.
Simon absoves most of the leaks to save Adrian and the same time, he screams for help in the make shift radio he made with metal scraps that Adrian gave him.
His cries is heard by Grace, who uses the Hail Mary to save them both <3
Simon had lost one of his legs and has several Astrophage poison.
Adrian has a lot of burns from Amonia and from the blood.
But both are alive, and Adrian can finally see their husband
And Rosary? I genuinely think Ava discover a way to use the ocean as fuel, and after dropping Adrian, the Rosary just goes to another system.
call me too woke but parts of the fandom automatically making (mostly when its the human designs of) rocky really masculine and adrian really feminine with zero androgyny or genderqueer or anything feels icky
