[madseance]

obsessed with the idea that Grace reasonably concludes that humans would seem like terrifying eldritch monsters to the Eridians (persistence hunters, can perceive electromagnetic radiation, unimaginably long attention spans) and Rocky's just like "ah, yes... can see how Grace might think this..." and then they get to Erid and the reaction to Grace is basically "Rocky find SPACE KITTY CAT?!! 😍”

I know that eridians dont have mouths to make the mouth sounds needed for speech, but like, neither do birds. I absolutely bet there is an eridian who has a beak like vent instead of the regular, and they are capable of mimicking English because of it. And it is horrifying to Grace in an uncanny valley, if you hear the woods calling your name at night no the fuck you didnt, kind of way.

This poor eridian doesnt understand why new human friend of eridians doesnt like them and always seems to leave when they come to say hi.

i think they count as a shitty eridian right

lore below cut

A moderately popular singer/celebrity, Meow is well-known for their beautiful voice and mournful lyrics. They’re adored around the world despite being only 173 years old (the equivalent of about 20-22 ish)! Meow puts on a glamorous and sassy act during their interviews and performances, but in private, they’re an entirely different story.

Incredibly vain after years and years of praise for their work, Meow can come off as rather irritating in private. They’ve been described as ‘annoying and brash’ more times than can be counted, yet still maintain their good reputation and beloved image.

Unbeknownst to anybody but themself and their beautiful mate Anna Marie, Meow is a Ryland Grace mega-fan. Ever since the human set foot on planet Erid, they’ve been practically obsessed with them and collected all the paraphernalia and merchandise they could get of them. The day they met them was practically one of the best days of their life, and even better, they were bestowed not only a human name but the knowledge that they were a look-alike of a popular human animal!

After cats started to become more and more popular on Erid, Meow used it to their advantage and started publicising themself as Erid’s first cat, even going so far to tattoo whiskers onto their carapace and seek after the construction of a realistic mechanical cat tail. Their likeliness to the furry animal only furthered their popularity and thus their pride, as well as their secret adoration and admiring for the alien living on their planet.

NOW ANNOUNCING THE NEWEST LINE OF ERIDIAN MODELS!

This is an artfight attack I did on Alex or Crying Obsidian by @atlassx0

I like to think that Rocky or Adrian raided the magazine history on the laptops and full force threw it at an eridian designer knocking them off their feet.

Imagine if you were in seventh grade and life is okay but nothing too interesting and then an astronaut comes back from a long mission with an alien and like woah! Aliens are real! And one is living on your planet now! But it’s not like you’re ever gonna meet it and then SIKE apparently the alien chose out of everything to do on your planet to teach middle school and now you get to just go to school and some weird looking creature teaches you chemistry and you just get to casually be one of the only people on your planet that gets to interact with extraterrestrial life regularly and it just wants to be a chill cool teacher and it’s super nice

Welcome to being an Eridian pebble when Grace comes to Erid.

Grace has plants on the Hail Mary and, after he and Rocky get to Erid, the Eridians are able to genetically modify the plants to be edible (if they aren't already) and something pretty for Grace to look at. Something that reminds him of Earth and, like Grace himself, able to thrive on Erid.
