i love drawing him with babies..

[nikoisme]

i was referencing this excerpt from the document on eridians btw! but considering that one egg is viable (through absorbing the other), i guess that this would have the babies be different ages?? shrugs. i don't know. i simply wanted to draw grace with five pebbles so i did. use your imagination for the rest 🫶

Happy Mother's Day to these two

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

Alien: I see. So, your kind inhale cancerous toxins because the effects of temporary poisoning are experienced as pleasurable by some of your species?

Me: yes, in various forms, but you have to understand that the primary reason I and others in our species participate in this particular ritual is to ritually invoke erotic mating behaviors by using a phallic symbol to communicate our readiness to copulate and our laxness with traditional contending ritual doctrines discouraging mating.

Alien: Ah, so this goes back to that Freud guy you talked about before.

Me: on some level. He had some less advanced analytical technologies but they were typical of his era.

Alien: I see. And this is a “heterosexual” behavior?

Me: actually the ritual itself is sexuality agnostic. By invoking primary images of sexuality, we’re able to utilize these symbols outside of their conventional contexts, by making symbolic references to them.

Alien: are these references like the references you mentioned in rust programming of memory pointers?

Me: yeah, you got it! and therein lies the eroticism of programming the machine. It’s why the machine is related to sexually by many humans.

Alien: fascinating.

Me: humans also use this ritual to find willing mates by prompting other humans to ask us if they can participate in the ritual with us. But this isn’t always the case, and that ambiguity —

Alien: creates tension in the uncertainty. It’s all play again, I see.

Me: precisely.

Alien: can I bum a smoke off you?

Me: ;)

Alien: ;)

"I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."

thinking about Hatchling discovering Grace & Rocky's story hundreds of thousands of years after it happened when there are no more Eridians or humans to tell it :')

[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

Grace think fondly of his scar if you even care.

Exploring Eridian’s biology. Most of it are taken from the book, but I want to add to it :)

My headcanons:

-Rocky and Adrian had kids before Rocky went away. They are now in their (human equivalent) 20s.

-Adrian and Rocky used to be around the same age, now Adrian is MUCH older.

-Baby Eridians are called pebbles (like baby goats are called kids). Yes, this is all Grace doing.

-Eridan’s eggs are like geode.

-Eridian’s eggs (canonically) are laid together when mate and then merge. I however, also think that they would usually go for two at a time for protection (they can watch each other sleep as they get older).

-Rocky name his two new pebbles after Grace and the Hail Mary.

-I’m not a geologist and very much not knowledgeable about rock, but I believe that the green/blue we see Eridians have (movie ver) could be caused by the various level of metal element on their rock layer, like copper and bronze, interacting with the elements over time (Verdigris).

-Baby Eridians are smooth rock. As Eridians grow, they became sharper and more complex looking, caused both by natural aging and external elements.

-Most elder Eridians are green/blue since it’s a form of rusting, kind of like human with grey hair.

Ok but the Eridians being worried Rocky kidnapped Grace and Rocky is like no it’s fine they threw him away he’s ours now

Idk about the accuracy of their biology/geology, but here are some made-up Eridian variations based on different rock types & shapes ~

(yes, this is in reaction to the gracerocky dating sim game idea i came across here yesterday. i need it to become reality so bad!! TT.TT EDIT: We're actually making it! More info here ~)

If it’s any consolation, you’ll be hailed as a hero.

Stratt kept her promises about the statues :)
