hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.
so many great things about the โiโd let him do open heart surgery on me if he wantedโ quote, but i love that itโs another case of grace displacing his wants onto the other person. so he doesnโt have to be rejected. does stratt want me to work on the project? do my friends want me at the party? does the scientific community want me at the conference? does rocky want to do surgery on me? mf do YOU want these things?? can you take ownership of your own desiresโฆ

Linguistics, a little bit (despite saying I wouldn't)
Including the linguistic origins of the semi-ubiquitous false cognate of "mama" and related words
How fire alarms/smoke detectors in schools work
Archeological evidence for prehistoric people living with disabilities
More about aquaponics
Like so much about aquaponics
A brief detour into tilapia skin being used in vaginoplasty (irrelevant to the fic it just kinda. Came up?)
Algae as a food source
Seriously so many tabs open about the nutritional content and growth rates of different species of edible algae
So much math about algae as a food source
Psychological and physical recovery from food insecurity
Gardening :`)
Sigh. Lyrics to songs by the Beatles, which is the most annoying thing I've had to look up (unfortunately, it was necessary AND it did make me emotional against my will)
Things that remain beyond the scope of my fic:
Space elevators
Infectious disease/potential pathogens that could be present in an extremely isolated community of humans
I made a new piece of fan, uhhh... It's not really fanfic-fic, exactly... ummm... a fan-reference, I guess?
It's all the [music-note emoji] Eridian names & Eridian speech in The Chronicles of Terra's Grace by @hopefulqueer, so far (most recent chapter as of today is Chapter 10)!
Also includes some names for characters where a name in Eridian was bestowed, with its meaning explained, but the actual "notation" was not spelled out.
Chapter 6:
Geordi, Grace's Eridian student: ๐ถ๐ถ๐ต
(English translation: N/A)
Imara Stone: [notation unknown]
(English translation: "unyielding as rock")
Yiming Hart: [notation unknown]
(English translation: "the force that moves living energy: fate, or a beating heart" [an old-fashioned word usually only found in poetry])
Chapter 8:
Joseph โJoeyโ Nadeau, physical therapist: ๐ถ๐ถ๐ต
(English translation: "Name of cave system [Adrian] found [famous art carvings referencing a certain animal] in, with person-name ending instead of place-name, with affectionate diminutive")
Marcus Kadelberg, pharmacist: [notation unknown]
(English translation: no precise/exact translation given; evokes the sound of an Eridian ocean, a sort of chorded onomatopoeia of the noise that water makes against a stony cliff)
Chapter 10:
Meghan Thayer, atypical education specialist: [notation unknown]
(English translation: no precise/exact translation given; is a name based on a stone or stones used in Eridian jewelry)
Meghan Thayer's 'nickname' used by the young Eridian Felix only: [notation unknown]
(English translation: "Marble"; an Eridian round metal ball toy for pebbles. Is not a person-name.)
Other speech:
Chapter 3:
โ๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ถ!โ = "Welcome to Erid, new friend humans."
โ๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ต๐ถ!โ = "I am Rocky."
โ๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ต!โ = โNo, they are for us, for learning, but we thought you might like them."
โ๐ถ๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ถโ = โHe says, you are still wearing your clothes of protect. Atmosphere and temperature good. Not trust us, question?" [last part is one octave higher, indicating teasing tone]
โ๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ถ! ๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ?โ = โTranslator human correct, is joke. Clever, good at tone. TookโฆGrace much time to learn joke tone. And good to be careful. But atmosphere good. You check, question?โ
โ๐ถ! ๐ถ!โ = "Then check, check.โ
โ๐ถ๐ถ๐ต!โ = โNo, most of this infrastructure already existed."
โ๐ต๐ถ?โ = "Time yet, question?"
โ๐ถ๐ถ๐ตโ = "Should you sit down in the wheelchair, old man?"
โ๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ!โ = โI tell him that all the time!โ
โ๐ต๐ถ๐ถ? ๐ต๐ต๐ถ?โ = โThis something Earth worry about, question? Why they think you might fight us, question?โ
โ๐ถ๐ตโ = "Resource competition" [connotation of โI'm guessing it's thisโ]
Chapter 7:
๐ถ๐ต = unknown (context: I freeze up like a ๐ถ๐ต in a storm.)
Chapter 8:
๐ต๐ต๐ต = an animal that lives by ocean shores on the south continent; has three limbs and sharp claws.
Chapter 9:
๐ต๐ถ๐ต = exact translation unknown (context: Rocky says โGrace keep leaking every conversation with visitor humans [...] Is no ๐ต๐ถ๐ต want to stay close. Reassurance come best from close relationship for human too, question, Stone?")
Honestly the fact that I've only doubled up on notation for one word is shocking akdhdgshks hell yeah, I was trying for that but wasn't putting a huge amount of effort into checking. Absolutely, Joey and Geordi's Eridian names both have the same name-ending diminutive chords, that is canon now.
That last one, ๐ต๐ถ๐ต, means "overprotective" or, probably connotatively more accurate, "overbearing" or "helicopter parent-like"! And the word in "freeze up like a ๐ถ๐ต in a storm" is a small flying creature that rarely lands except for when they get disoriented by a loud storm and grab onto a rock face to cling until the winds die down. The idiom is comparable to English's "like a deer in the headlights"!
This was so much effort, I am blown away that you're thinking so much abt this fic! Thank you!!!!! <3

The thing about sharing a spaceship with a guy in a hamster ball is you end up doing the grunt work. So here we are, a crazy crew of two en route to an alien planet, and I am once again hanging off the side of the dang ship. At least this time Iโm securely fastened and not watching any approaching doom. Two hours ago we plowed through a molecular dust cloud and alarms went off, thankfully not of the โdeath imminentโ variety. More of a โa bunch of exterior stuff just got scratched up like an angry cat went after it.โ I am getting better at the piloting thing, which is not to say I am good. But I did get us safely slowed down and prepped for repairs. Hence my current hanging-off-the-ship situation: I am repairing the dings with an Eridian blowtorch, xenonite patches, and more blood, sweat and tears than Iโd hoped to part with today.
โWish I could help Grace,โ says Rockyโs voice in my headset.
Itโs slow going. I have never been accused of being nimble even without the lumbering Orlan. โWish you could too, Rock. Youโd be five times faster than my primitive human hands can manage. Iโm giving this my whole ass and it looks half-assed at best.โ
โHalf. Assed. Grace referring to his posterior orifice, question?โ
I giggle. Itโs become a kind of competition, seeing how thoroughly we can confuse each other with our native idioms. โHey, itโs like I always told my students, half a bum is better than none. What I wouldnโt give for an Eridian-sized Orlan,โ I say wistfully. โYou think you could fit into Ilyukhinaโs?โ
(I couldnโt stop thinking about the xenosuit, skin hunger, and the four year road trip to Erid. Read the rest here on AO3.)
