It’s like 1 am and of course I had to scramble out of bed to make this

He IS forklift certified.

You know you have it bad when you see a movie and then a week later you buy the book and finish it in three days and only take breaks to sleep and to go see the movie a second time. I wish I was joking.

Anyways here is my take on Adrian 🩵

LOOK!! THE SUPER COOL NEW VERSION

[echora-aura]

Rocky gripes about human physiology on their way to Erid (he has some thoughts)

Had so much fun making this, can’t wait to work on the next one!!

Used procreate dreams for animation, audio is from a random TikTok I found in a YouTube compilation

Thinking about how Grace just gave the Eridians a computer with all of human technology on it

I think that as the Eridian scientists figure out how to hook it up to their technology he realizes that they will have all of our knowledge, which includes our history and all the fucked up things humans have done since we’ve existed

But he doesn’t do much about it because 1) he already gave them the computer, it’s out of his hands, and 2) he’s a teacher, he knows what censorship does and he doesn’t want to paint a perfect picture of humanity, because simply it isn’t true

As the Eridians learn more they ask Grace questions about it, he isn’t a history teacher but he does his best, and the Eridians understand, because they’re not perfect either. In years past some Eridians probably manipulated entire thrums which ended up causing massive damage to many Eridians and their environment, maybe the space elevator was the second one and the first one had a disaster because someone was too hasty to build it, maybe Eridians have destroyed entire ecosystems on Erid too because they are apex predators and surpassed their carrying capacity at some point

And of course they also tell this to Grace, Rocky probably told him on their way back to Erid so that he knew beforehand. They all understand that they’re both messed up species, and the Eridians send a probe to earth containing all of Eridian knowledge and an expectation for it be shared with all humans like Dr. Captain Ryland Grace did for them

Me too man,,

That would be pretty cool, so I went and did it!!!

I have the bearings of the plot, but it’s quite literally a swap au and Rocky is just in the same place as human Grace, except as the person making the Hail Mary instead of messing around with Astrophage, and Grace is instead the singular biologist of the Blip-A and remaining crew member bc of how often he was surrounded by Astrophage to find a solution

You can pick my brain for more but that’s the synopsis :]

POV: They’re testing the winter settings of the biodome (pretend they’re wearing the xenonite suits I didn’t have room)

My favorite polycule ever

[echora-aura]

I love how in phm theres this one character that basically is:

Only mentioned about five times collectively between the book and the movie

Actively haunting the narrative despite being technically more alive than their partner

Their name is also the name of the planet that hosts the oldest life known to exist in their universe

Has no canon design and despite that you can’t go two scrolls without seeing then at least 5x the size of their partner

decided (mostly) by the Fandom that they have one sided beef with the alien that saved their species and their life partner from total extinction

And They also are one of the beings in charge of keeping said alien alive

Everyone collectively draws them on a color range from sea foam green to Hatsune Miku

That they are decidedly triangle shaped

They are basically the shared oc of the entire fandom and no one bats an eye over it, all designs are canon

I love you Adrian 🩵 Rocky mate bad as hell statement 100%

Wow I can’t wait to watch the new cookie run trailer I’m so excited!!

IS THAT THE FUCKING PANOPTICON????
