oh give me a home where the dirt is good loam

i'm just imagining him, trapped in his own head, while Rocky hugs/comforts him, mute and immobile. like, everybody knows he's alive and thinking, but he just physically hasn't figured out how to do anything. Definitely extremely horrifying for him in the moment but it would be sweet to think about.

Grace the brand new Eridian with the pain tolerance of a clumsy human who had bruises on his legs from constantly tripping and was half burned by a boiling alien atmosphere gets what is essentially a tattoo.

And I propose.

Since Eridian brains seem better with memory and such.

(I wonder if, because their brains are basically a big crystal, the reason their memory is so good is because it literally gets carved into the crystal so they can revisit it whenever with no problem.)

Imagine they manage to basically transfer Grace's consciousness into crystal brain into Eridian body.

and suddenly Grace is one of the smartest bitches on Erid (not that he wasn't already smart, or that the Eridians didn't already view him as smart, but now they have an easier way to comprehend how smart he is) because he no longer has the feeble flaws of a human brain with it's weird memory and stuff.

Rocky when Grace is human: This is my very smart, squishy alien friend.

Eeeehhh... Eridian Grace...

They can finally touch!!! Yeah they cuddle for a longggggg time after Grace wakes up

"All right. Well…goodbye." "No understand word." "Means, uh…see you later." "But I won't see you later." "I know."

"And it seems like it's worth your time, right? And, by the way, there's actually- the superpower inside of feeling alien is admitting that you might be an alien."

The Woodsman is the story of the Tinman from The Wizard Of Oz, it's a play with very few words, beautiful puppet work, and the kind of vibe that sticks with you for years. I don't want to spoil it, but if you liked PHM and want more of James, he is the heart of the production

I know there's a slime tutorial of the show on YouTube which isn't perfect, but it is a rip of the professionally shot production. Linking to more resources of where to buy access to see it in better quality:

I strongly recommend going in blind as best as you can, but I'll put some details below the cut for anybody who would like to know the heavier themes before engaging

No spoilers, but the lack of verbal communication is beautiful and, in fact, inspired one of my own amateur productions!

It's enchanting, and I also recommend it. 100%!
