Just a fan trying not to be

woah mama, i gotta stop taking their shirts off when they have important conversations.

random eridian: and now, for a few words from our newest member

btw thanks for starting this trend lol I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in ages 🤭✌️

I am so glad I could spread the manic laughter I experienced xD I've actually been thinking that Grace probably doesn't want to respond because it would involve too great a risk of revealing how offensive/insulting all these messages really are! And he would never want them to stop. So he never knows quite what to say around them, and just tries to be friendly/enthusiastic.

I have a harder time figuring out which direction Rocky should go which is probably why he hasn't appeared in my own comics so far. I like the headcanons and theories people have written about on him so far, about him getting mad or being in on it.

This is probably not that funny but like, I needed a break from 65 year old looking 20 year old Ryan gosling and I wrote this down yesterday at like 5am in a moment of brilliance

@justcakethanks for the original concept

holy SHIT my previous post blew up

(lowkey screamed in surprise and joy when i saw the legend @justcakethanks themself liking my idea)

Rocky, who is one of Erid's foremost Thinking Machine Experts, has offered numerous times to fix the translation program for them. Rocky has offered numerous times to go over their translations in person since, y'know, he's also Erid's second most fluent reader and writer of English.

The EWC think Saviour Rocky is very kind, but probably overreacting. After all, if their mistranslations and general cultural misunderstandings were as bad as everybody claims, then surely Saviour Grace would have complained by now.

Rocky would really like Grace to complain. Rocky has begged Grace to complain. During a particularly tense discussion on the subject, Rocky went so far as to threaten to change the biodome's wifi password. (Taken back immediately when Grace pointed out that this would mean no more movie nights for the foreseeable future.)

Grace considers the team's efforts to be a key part of his enrichment. The team are just thrilled to be making him feel more at home on Erid, since he's going to be living here for the rest of his tragically short human lifespan (as clarified in their latest message: “YOU WILL DIE HERE. SOON. 😊”).
