Hello tumblr. I’m reviving my old blog from the dead with some of my PHM fanarts.

👋 JAZZ HANDS! 👋 @castielrisingabove wanted Grace with Eridian jewelry; I had so much fun planning and drawing this! Go check out their amazing fanfic, too!

+ some notes on the jewelry below the cut :3

I left a comment on the post but maybe other people would want this too. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot!) but Rocky is still very alien and Grace is smitten.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

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...
