Mcr Forever

bloodymary scene matching! more info below :3

Adrian: Oh hey you're back early.

Grace and Rocky: Moon's haunted.

Adrian: What??

Grace and Rocky: *grabbing a blowtorch and more xenonite, and getting back on the ship* Moon's haunted.

when Grace and Rocky make it to Erid and Grace meets Adrian, Adrian realizes just how obsessed and codependent Rocky and Grace are. Then Adrian has to sit down with Rocky to talk about his odd tastes, because Rocky being incredibly normal (sarcastic) about Grace would be our equivalent of finding out your husband is a monsterfucker, but he actually has access to said monster and is now constantly talking about it.

Like Rocky begins to notice Grace tilting his head towards sound like Eridians do when his eye sight starts to go, but he leaves it alone for the time being. Surely, if something was wrong, Grace would feel comfortable enough to say something.

Grace is squinting more often at the screen of the computer, not a big deal, he tells Rocky, it’s pretty normal for eye sight to change for humans over time, he makes it a joke and says he’s on his way to being more Eridian. Too bad he can’t use echolocation like they can, though.

But, then one day, Grace can't see the steps to get down from the biodome house. Like, Rocky has to help him get down so without even telling Grace while he's teaching that day, the accommodation is made and instead of steps, it's paved smooth with little tactiles on the borders to help Grace not lose his footing.

I couldn’t rest until I had drawn my own version of Adrian. They’re more crystal than rock, known for how long and loud they can carry their musical chords when speaking. Other Eridians can always pick out their voice in a Thrum.

Zoologist, particularly focused on social behavior in various species. Studies social animals both in the wild and in captivity

Constantly refers to Grace's dome as his "enclosure", much to the rest of the team's chagrin. Grace thinks this is hilarious

General "call a spade a spade" attitude to using zookeeping terms when referring to everything to do with keeping Grace happy, healthy, and alive. Some of the others on the team misread this as depersonalizing and cold towards Grace, but it's just Adrian's communication style

Gets along with Grace like a house on fire. They terrorize Rocky together

There was a brief period of awkwardness where Grace and Adrian were trying to be normal about how badly they wanted to study each other like bugs

Relationship to Grace is like if your best friend was also an exotic animal whose enrichment and enclosure design was your responsibility, if you and said animal/friend were both gleefully studying each other
