carĀ·riĀ·on liĀ·brarĀ·iĀ·an ĖkarÄÉn/ /lÄ«Ėbre(É)rÄÉn/ noun 1. Person who hoards books and is willing to try reading anything. 2. MLIS grad whose first name is a pretty excellent pun with carrion.
itās simple: when I like an adaptation, everyone complaining about changes to the text is a whiny baby who needs to get over themselves and accept that sometimes you have to change the story to enrich the experience/work within the medium. when I donāt like an adaptation, itās because nobody else understands the core themes of the original work and would be better off just creating a story independent of what theyāre trying to adapt.

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

Exploring Eridianās 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.
-Eridanās eggs are like geode.
-Eridianās 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.
-Iām 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 itās a form of rusting, kind of like human with grey hair.

You know, in other circumstances I might dislike making a character immortal, but I think that the Eridian medical thrum were faced with the choice between trying to solve Rocky's severe co-dependence and PTSD in less than thirty years time OR unlocking the secrets of the human genome and turning off Grace's aging and felt that the latter was a MUCH more realistic prospect.
since this is being posted i believe a month after the last part im gonna say that yes they've been at this for 4 weeks and grace categorically refused to engage with a weird dream riddle and delegated that in favor studying of his new front yard decoration until frustration finally broke him
we love an avoidant behaviour king
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 3.5, part 4, part 5
+ bonus what i imagine the eridians looked like witnessing the Plotā¢
random yapping by yours truly below the cut
i have FINALLY finished this thing!! holy crap thank you to everyone who has been following and for the incredible, enthusiastic comments that have been feeding my ego!
this wasn't honestly supposed to go beyond the first part but the muse asks for no opinion when she takes a mallet to your head i guess,,
since ive personally always been a fan of people showing sketches with their work heres some stuff from my process:
these are as i affectionately call them my insane person notes, frantically scribbled down and barely legible to even me
(edit: forgot to add since my handwriting isn't that legible, i picked the random plant parts of the tree from googling symbolism of plants so if anyone's interested here tis
Aspen- bravery, facing the unknown
Mangrove- strength, support
Oak- longevity, strength, robustness
Red carnation- i love you forever
Grapes- rebirth
Maple- strength, resilience
Ginkgo- resilience, longevity, duality, peace)
and here's a random warm up page that i did:
once again thank you everyone for your support and interest, it's been amazing
