Back On My Bullshit

Biiiiiiig hug

Grace makes a shocking discovery

On earth most animals aim to be symmetrical and so have an even amount of limbs. Reading that Rocky had five left me puzzled, obviously he's an alien, but was there precedent in nature for such a phenomenon? What was the point of five rather than 4 or 6? ...Then, I looked at my own hands and felt silly. Still, that connection made me happy.

I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

ortiz!rocky

i love drawing him with babies..

One of my favorite things about Murderbot is how it canonically prefers to wear a helmet whenever possible because it hate s eye contact and frequently loses control of it's facial expressions so I keep imagining it like

For the first time ever, I can offer prints cuz some ppl asked for when i showed the wip off lol. You can get it here!

so yeah i think it was just unfortunate that it ended up not being stratt but the science astronauts who needed a replacement, and being the backup stratt grace was ALSO able to serve the double function as a backup anything, which is how he ended up as a emergency astronaut

Nonono you don't understand, we HAVE to keep him. And build him a little enclosure. YES with the poisonous gas. He needs that to breathe.

my take on an eridian!grace design inspired by the concept of him getting uploaded to an eridian body in his old age (ie the fic "a momentary blip" by deitybird and this art post). his carapace is colored like one of the cliffs from his biodome, and he's got carvings based on the petrova line, the voyager golden record map to sol, and (not pictured) a gylph representing the hail mary, among others. he's a bit squatter than rocky and has more rounded/curved shapes, so youve got just a smidge of kiki and bouba going on between the two of them.
