I don’t really have any future plans for this character, I just had the idea and had to draw it. Inspired by eepingmarv on TikTok’s Eridian OC Nemo, and by my own struggles with a terrible (though not as bad as fish!Dory’s) memory and ADHD/probably autism in general. Fish!Dory is a pretty big comfort character for me, so when I saw an Eridian OC based on Nemo, I knew I had to make one based on Dory. They’re not nearly as bubbly and optimistic as fish!Dory but they find comfort in their family and in their new friendship with Grace, with him being able to explain memory-related disorders that humans face and are more knowledgeable about. It makes it feel less like she’s just not trying hard enough, knowing that it’s an actual condition that she couldn’t have helped.
