we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
Grace and Rocky, giving a tour of the Hail Mary to fascinated Eridian scientists and diplomats.
Pointing at things and explaining what they are and how the ship works, lots of awed and appreciative noises are made.
Until one of the visiting Eridians points out a specific item. βAnd that?β
Itβs a strange, circular thing, a xenonite disk mounted upright on some sort of pivot so it can spin freely, but around the edges it hasβ¦ spokes? Pegs? Sticking out of it, that hit against a stiff flap that would slow down the spinning.
It is also separated into sections decorated with crude etchings of a human and an Eridian.
βAh,β Grace says.
βThat,β Rocky says.
βThatβs. Um.β Grace seems somewhat embarrassed. βThatβs the sacrifice wheel.β
The Eridian visitors clearly do not know what to make of that. βWe think we misunderstood Savior Graceβs word,β they say, apparently hoping this is a vocabulary mix-up. βExplain (question, polite)?β
βDidnβt misunderstand,β says Rocky, sounding very sheepish. βThat is sacrifice wheel.β
βSo. While we were on our way to Erid, we might have gottenβ¦ anxious about each otherβs well-being,β Grace says, which everyone is already very aware is a wild understatement. βAnd, well, you heard what happened at Tau Ceti, and after. There were a lot of unexpected dangers for the whole trip that required a lot of, at least, attempted self-sacrifice to solve. We ended up almost dying for each other several times. And we had an argument about what weβd do if another crisis like that came up. And we couldn't agree.β
βGrace argued that Grace already was unlikely to survive long-term on Erid, so he should be the one to do any potential deadly but necessary maneuvers to make sure I was able to bring taumoeba back,β Rocky says.
βWhich made sense.β
βDid not make sense! Grace already sacrificed so much for me and for Erid, wouldnβt be fair to make you do it againββ Rocky cuts himself off with a huff. They have obviously had this conversation before. βSo sacrifice wheel was compromise.β
βYeah,β Grace says. He spins it to demonstrate; it whirls around in a blur and a rattle of the flap hitting the pegs, then eventually slows down, and stopsβpointing at the segment depicting a very bad but very clear image of an Eridian. βRocky made the wheel, I spin the wheel, and whoever it lands on, thatβs who gets to sacrifice themself to save the other and the other person does not get to argue. This way, we wouldnβt waste time debating who does the self-sacrifice and who survives, itβs just a plain fifty-fifty chance. Or, eighteen-eighteen chance in base six. But the point is it could be either of us and we would have to accept the outcome.β
Rocky started fidgeting while Grace was explaining. When Grace finishes, proud of the equitable solution they came up with to allow them to die for each other fairly, Rocky says, βNow that we are back and we donβt need sacrifice wheel anymoreβ¦ I have confession to make. About the wheel.β
βWhat about the wheel?β
Rocky doesnβt answer. Grace frowns, first confused, then suspicious, and spins the wheel again.
It lands on Rocky again.
He spins the wheel again, and again, and again, and it lands on Rocky every single time.
βRocky!β
βI weighted the wheel,β Rocky admits.
βRocky the whole point was that it was equal, that was why we even made itββ
βNever was necessary so doesnβt matter anymore!β
βBut you WOULD have!β
βAnd you never noticed because you were hungry and cranky and distracted and so would have done bad job on heroic self-sacrifice anyway!β
βI would not! I would have done fine!β
(The Eridian scientists and diplomats are still here watching this btw. Slowly dawning on them that 1) these two are extremely not normal about each other 2) if Erid ever does another space mission they NEED to send a therapist aboard because this is what happens when they donβt)

OKAY maybe im preaching to the choir here but i think more people should read this fantastic gracerocky wip: the mortifying ordeal of being known
propaganda: rocky has a disability + ptsd that considers his biology. theyre both jerks. cultural exchange. cultural blunders. they listen to eridian bridgerton. grace is being read to filth. we havent even gotten to the E-rated content yet and im already high off the fumes of this thing...

Life Sized Book Rocky Plushie Guide/Walkthrough Part 1 - Main Body
So I made a life sized Rocky plush and I thought I'll post a walkthrough/guide to how I made him!
The specific sizes listed are suggested, I based them off of Rocky's description in the book to make him as size accurate as I can, but you can definitely make him even bigger or smaller. So feel free to adjust the sizes as needed! :D
Part 2 is not out yet and will be about his shirt. I will update this post the moment its available with a link to it.
Now without further ado, let's get into the guide!
Colour Coding:
- book canon used
- personal choice
- mathematical conclusion
Materials Needed:
- Sewing machine (to save time but you can just sew it all by hand)
- Thread and needle for sewing by hand (I used an embroidery needle and thread because of the fabric I used)
- about 2 meters of fabric of your choosing (if using my measurements)
- Plush stuffing
Measurements Used:
NOTE: when cutting the fabric, leave a 1-2cm margin for sewing
Top Main Carapace (1x):
- Pentagon shape
- 40cm widest point (Rocky is 45cm wide in the book but due to the stuffing, his top carapace needs to be a bit smaller)
- 25cm sides
Sides Main Carapace (5x):
- Trapezoid shape
- 25cm upper side attaching to the Top fabric (same length as the sides of the top fabric)
- 13,5cm lower side attaching to the bottom fabric
- 22cm Height (Rocky's carapace is around 22cm tall in the book)
Bottom Main Carapace (1x):
- Pentagon shape
- 22cm widest point
- 13,5cm sides (same length as the lower side of the Sides Main Carapace)
Top Vent (1x):
- Pentagon shape
- 16cm widest point (2.5 times smaller than the widest point of the top main carapace)
- 10cm sides (2.5. times smaller than the sides of the top main carapace and 4 times smaller than the widest part of the widest point of the top main carapace)
Vent Sides (5x):
- Rectangle shape
- 10cm long side (same length as sides of top vent)
- 3cm short side
Upper Arm (10x):
- Rectangle shape
- 20.5cm long side (whole leg is 50.5cm, because Rocky is described to be around the same height as a labrador, which get around 50cm tall, split the legs up however you like)
- 12.5cm short side (I made the diameter of the leg 8cm, and since the leg is basically a tube, the fabric has to be cut to the circumference of the "circle", so you have to calculate the circumference based on the diameter you choose for your arms and then divide it by two and use that for the short side. Also, the circumference is equal to the upper side of main carapace side piece. :D)
Lower Arm (10x):
- Trapezoid shape
- 30cm Height (because the whole leg is 50.5cm long)
- 12.5cm upper side (same length as the short side of the upper arm)
- 9.5cm lower side (more math! :D since his lower arm narrows towards his foot, I chose a smaller diameter for the lower side. This diameter will also be the diameter of the middle of the foot. Calculate it as seen above.)
Foot (10x):
- 9,5 length of claw from middle of foot (same length as lower side of the lower arm)
And that's it for the patterns!! :D
Now that we got the math out of the way, let's get sewing B)
Sewing Main Carapace:
Sew the Top, Sides and Bottom of the Main Carapace together. I used a sewing machine for this.
Don't connect the sides together yet and only connect the bottom to one side for now. It'll make the next steps easier (I didn't do that Dx don't make the same mistakes I made)
Sewing Vent and Connecting It:
Sew the Vent sides to the Main Vent (We will sew them together soon)
But first, embroidery!
I just used a pen to mark the spots and made them a tear drop shape around 2cm away from the edges. Any shape works really.
Close up it might look a bit messy (didn't use an embroidery frame cause the fabric was too thick) but from further away its barely noticeable.
Next up, sew all the side together! (this part I sewed by hand)
And then go back to the main Carapace and cut a hole in the middle of the top carapace fabric around the same size as the Vent.
And sew it onto the main carapace (ignore the leg already being sewn in the image, it made things a bit harder to sew and could have been done later)
(I sewed the Vent to the carapace by hand)
Sewing Legs:
Cut a hole into half of the feet fabrics and pair them up together with the "non-holed" ones.
Then, sew the feet, upper arms and lower arms together in pairs so that the feet create a sort of pillow and the "arms" a tube each. (I sewed those with a sewing machine)
Stuff the feet with plush stuffing before sewing both parts of the arm to them.
Personally I stuffed the segments as I sewed them together by hand.
Connecting the Legs and Finishing up the Plushie:
Line up one of the legs with two wall sides of the carapace so that the leg is at the top of seam. Then sew it together so that the seam of the leg is also on the inside of the plushie. Do that for all sides until the "walls" are closed off. (from here I sewed every by hand)
Flip Rocky over and stuff him with plush stuffing to your liking. If you want to make the shirt for him (which will be the part 2 to this post) you might need to understuff him for now, so that he manages to slip into the shirt without any issues.
Afterwards sew up the bottom to the sides and BOOM!
YOU HAVE YOURSELF A BOOK ROCKY!
If you have any questions about the progress feel free to send the questions into the comments, my inbox or in my DMs. I will do my best to answer all the questions as best I can and add anything I might have missed! ^^

thinking about human/ortiz rocky and how i wish that more of it was like. regular eridian rocky gets turned into a person But it's not like a perfect switch so there are these "glitches" and things that are holdovers from his eridian biology. maybe he's blind, maybe he still can only breathe ammonia, maybe he has ectrodactyly, maybe he uses an AAC bc he's nonspeaking or something happened with his vocal chords in the switchover. whatever handwavy science they used to make the switch can't have been perfect right? especially with two species that are SOOOO different from each other.
IDK i think it's more interesting than a "perfect" switch if that makes sense?? so much of rocky and grace's story involves overcoming some kind of "barrier" between them (i use the term barrier loosely) and how doing that therefore enriches the relationship and they become closer because of it. setting my wish free via this post....ποΈ
