"what is this BABY doing in space!???"

Happy Pride Month

Agere board based on my transness

Waaaa ;w; oh my goodness yes!! Rocky would def LOVE to make Grace regression gear! Rocky has been alone for so long and he has so much xenonite that has just laying there so Rocky is ITCHING for a reason to do some engineering and building!!

Rocky: Grace weird all the time. Humans very weird.

Grace: Yeah but Rock, I’m like, super weird. Even by human standards.

Rocky: Why Grace leaking, question?

Grace: 'M being dumb. *sniffle*

Rocky: Grace baby time, question? Grace "age regress", question?

Grace (lying): No!!

Rocky: Baby time not "dumb", statement. Baby Grace sleep better. Baby Grace heart go slower. Baby time good for Grace.

Grace: N-no *hic* it's dumb

Rocky: Baby time make Grace happy, question?

Grace: ...yeah.

Yessss oh my gosh😭

Like the life expectancy of an Eridian is around 600 years old! So imagine being Rocky, you've been alone on Blip-a (you don't even call it that yet)for 46 (human, always human years) years, you're reaching middle age (291 years old) and suddenly, after you've basically given up hope you see another ship!

Now, cut to a few months later. You've basically moved in with this weird soft fleshy alien, but he's really smart and has been helping you understand what happened to your crew (helps you know that there was nothing you could do to fix it) and you two are working on saving both your respective suns!

Then, the topic finally comes up. Age.

You think Grace is surprised by your age because you're still technically young, at least younger than your crewmates had been!

Then you ask him.

"I'm 33."

You drop your tools, clicking your fingers together, surely he ment to say 333! Right?? Because there's NO WAY they sent a 3 year old in space!!!

But nope, you ask again and nope, you heard correctly.

Grace human is a pebble! A pebble who shouldn't even be leaving the cradling arms of his parents let alone be IN SPACE ALONE.

It all makes sense now!

Grace eats so messily because he's still learning! He sleeps all curled up because that's how pebbles sleep! He gets so grumpy and fussy because pebbles aren't quite in tune with their emotional regulation yet!!

You are Rocky and now own this shirt:

Grace watching Rocky surround his bed in large panels of xenonite: Hey dude. What the heck.

Rocky: Grace be more grateful. Rocky work hard on this.

Grace: Grateful for what?? What are you doing to my bed??

Rocky: Xenonite is for baby time. Is removable. Just for baby time.

Grace: ….What???

Rocky, doing the Eridian equivalent of a long-suffering-sigh: Grace do baby time before bed. Baby Grace sleep better. Grace understand, question?

Grace: Yeah, I know that-

Rocky: Baby Grace sleep so good he drop soft Earth animal on floor. Baby Grace wake up and cry, cry, cry.

Grace:…

Rocky, proudly tapping the xenonite: Rocky fix, statement.

Grace: 🥺🥺🥺You made me a crib so I won’t drop my fox stuffy off the bed when I’m little?😭

Rocky: What is “crib”, question? What is “fox stuffy”? Grace not making sense. Why leaking. Why leaking. Why leaking.

🕹️🌟🧸 Agere Ryland Grace

He's a big fan of retro/nostalgic things, largely because he didn't get to have when he was a kid due to money and parents

He constantly gets hurt, he's a clumsy kid, and yes only the fun bandaids work on him, according to him anyway

loves superheroes, and frogs, and dinosaurs, and sharks (truly a audhd stereotype)

he cries a lot, especially when alone and tired

a big collection of figurines from mystery boxes and bags, especially if they have have a sad face, Ryland cant help but feel bad for them and want to cheer them up

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
