H a i k U

i started watching a while ago then paused at the midway point, i think bcuz i didn't wanna run out of episodes with it on hiatus i was enjoying it so much.. after hearing it was back i decided to finish watching and man it was fun

the way reeza n vai are always getting into situations 😭

nix is so hard to draw to me for some reason. vai is easy though. both of these were drawn during the evillest scenes

And then finally. Ep 22 spoilers + tw for burn scars..

I'd say not that graphic/detailed but shrugs

About the strings holding me

That the strings are a comfort

A rope, dragging me in place

Unchanging fear is comfort.

Im not a puppet.

About the strings holding me

That the strings are a comfort

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.
