So it’s clear that Adrian is part of the teams working to keep Grace alive.

But. What if Adrian is on this team because he was already a part of a bigger team working on domes across the planet to protect the live that Erid has with their dimming star making the world colder.

What if Grace wasn’t some special one-time dome user and there are so many towns and nature preserves locked away in these controlled domes to keep the contents safe and cared for.

Rocky saves the stars. Adrian saves Erid. Grace saves the stars and Rocky, Rocky saves Grace and brings him home, Adrian keeps their partner and pet alien safe and happy and cared for in the same way he’s been caring for their planet for over four hundred Eridian years now.

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

Doctor Ryland -Lost-In-The-Vacuum-Of-Space-On-Hour-37-Of-No-Sleep- Grace who did not swear one time at all should get to say cuss words sometimes

Tho it’s funnier that he doesn’t

Who gave this guy a doctorate

Something something Erid is a high-pressure, no light planet with liquid water and bioluminescent, lure-based, energy efficient ocean creatures could develop; something something Eridians have close to no spatial memory and therefore worse scale? memory; something something Eridians are the apex land predator specifically.

Be real Adrian who do you think you’re fooling

Dancing to the Golden Record at 78 rpm, with apologies to Bill Watterson.

Attempting to figure out how to draw Rocky by just kinda scribbling with a brush pen. I had to switch pens midway through the dance sequence, though, so the line quality varies wildly, haha.

Also: the original sketch, which I liked the energy of too much to ink over:

Was inspired by the wonderful post by @hailed-marys so me and @sam-i-am-27 got possessed by the demons and came out with this.

HC list under the cut

Except everyone figures it out in a few weeks cause there's no way the wet puppy science guy of Eva stratt suddenly becomes way more confident, started to accompany the astronauts in their training and actually could keep up with yao in piloting, could balance himself and put on the EVA suit perfectly. And suddenly starting to suggest creating a prob that could get Inside a planets atmosphere to collect samples
