Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying “We know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and he’s safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.”

I'm glad you remembered me.

i'm always thinking about Solanum and the Hatchling "growing up together" despite being separated by time. the way the Hatchling grows up enamoured by Nomai language and culture and they are able to understand it through tracking Solanum as she grows up and learns the language and culture herself. the way they're both caught in a state of undeath on the cusp of adulthood. and despite the barriers of time and language, Solanum is at the campfire along with all the other astronauts that the Hatchling has known for their entire life.

i've long headcanoned that the Hatchling plays a cello (because of the cello part in 14.3 Billion Years and Morning on the soundtrack), though the instrument i've drawn them with here is designed after a bowed mountain dulcimer. it's more their size!

also, the pen i drew Solanum with in the first piece is mostly because i wanted to draw her in that pose, although having thought about it, it makes sense that kids would be given a more kid-sized version of the staff technology in a way that makes them practice their writing (rather than the keyboard on the staff's tablet) so i stand by it. also also, Solanum's warmer clothes and thicker fur on Brittle Hollow are because of the colder climate!

stop fucking asking people of colour to tell you when you are being racist. Because, chances are, they wont, because they feel unsafe or because they already deal with so much shit and dont have the energy to educate you on top of that. Libraries are free, Libby is free, if you're a white person reading this post on tumblr dot com using the internet then googling "how to be anti-racist" is FREE. If you care and you want to do better then you need to fucking put in the work. Im not going to do it all for you. There are books, podcasts, videos, zines, comics, every type of media you can think of about anti-racism. You only need to seek it out.
