Rocky's body is a machine that turns one (1) praise into 10,000,000,000 praises đđđ
the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)
Accidental cultural exchange ends with new craze for vaguely human shaped dolls among Erid kids. After all, humans can like magically wake up at will and protect the sleeping Eridian kids for sure.
Also it's only fair to match the Earth kids love of pet rocks baby Eridian dolls ;)
rebagiel because I'm proud so I'll be annoying about it
And also I forgot to add the one shot that sponsored about 70% of this comic
listen. eva strattâs biggest mistake and greatest (emotional) downfall absolutely WAS keeping a junior high school teacher nearby. not as a tertiary science officerâ that was a reason, in the back of her mind, but she also Needed Him.
itâs not as clear in the movie, but eva stratt does not seem to be a scientist. at least not at the level as the others on PHM. in the book, she seems to purposefully bring grace along to various meetings because she needs his input and his translation. there are several times that a scientist will propose a solution to her, and she turns to her snarky teacher friend second in command and asks his opinion. heâs there because he is incredibly smart and, if needed, can explain things to her so she can understand. before grace? i bet she was largely doing this alone. iâm sure others would explain things to her if she asked, but it comes so naturally to grace. itâs his fucking job. itâs his second language, AND he doesnât think less of her for it. he knows what sheâs capable of, and thinks sheâs still right for the job, even if the science of it all is over her head
iâm sure that it started out early, when they were still learning what astrophage was. grace was a leading mind in it, and was needed. but then she brought him along to help translate other things for her. and then because she trusted his judgement. and then because, deep down, he was her friend.
she needed the junior high school teacher around. not a tertiary science officer.

it's really cute how grace says "rocky couldn't have made a mistake! he's the most talented engineer on his whole planet!" ryland you do not know that. it's very sweet of you but you, very notably, have only met one eridian and it is your best friend rocky. you are very biased
Yhinking about how some eridians probably look cool as fuck but don't know since they can't see colors :<
Some poor science eridian who works at the biodome, who spend their whole life being made fun of and feeling insecure because their texture sounds ugly, meeting the alien (who saved their planet btw) who understands the world with a completly diferent set of senses they dont have, and when they meet it kind of just stares at them and it says theyâre beautifull??? and it keeps throwing terms like "iridescent" and "rainbow" and they have NO idea what they mean but wth the alien thinks theyâre pretty, what even man
Interplanetary Friendship
i saw this post where they hit the planets with the anime girl beam and i just thought it was SO FREAKING CUTE i had to make my own take on it else it would not leave my mind lmao
here some details on the designs
+ some early years of the astrophage crises
What if human astronauts visit Erid one day and are doing diplomatic things and whatnot and they learn Ryland Grace is sstill alive and is in a terrarium. One of the astronauts jokingly says âyouâre not experimenting on him are youâ and the Eridians freeze cause yeah, they totally are. They experiment on him all the time. Theyâre experimenting on him right now in fact. They read about deep sea diving and are now testing the effects of replacing certain gases in Graces atmosphere. Right now theyâre testing helium.
They send someone to stop the experiment but Grace refuses cause theyâre so far in already and well that would just ruin the data.
The new humans think this is hilarious and insist on joining the experiment as Grace excitedly yaps about all the cool stuff heâs learned about aliens but heâs still got that high pitched helium voice.
(^ @caligeno tags)
Grace:
"Grace doesnt have enough food on the jorney to Erid" yeah but Rocky does. Rocky has plenty, in fact, Rocky had enough food for 23 eridians for a bit over 30 years (because they were also expected to make the jorney back) Rocky has so much food, and he cant give any to grace because it will kill him. Every meal he makes he can hear Grace's body slowly collapsing in on itself from hunger. Rocky has to sit there, with way more than enough food for 2 and still watch his best friend starve to death.

k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace âhuntâ him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isnât trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes
only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isnât which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like âgot youuuâ and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life
if i can add a layer to this i wanna headcanon that Erid did have persistence predators way way back in the day but were regrettably hunted into extinction (back when their science was more underdeveloped. erid may be better than earth in a lot of aspects but they're not perfect)
so the idea of an animal/predator that follows you slowly until you have no choice but to risk sleeping or die from exhaustion is basically the eridian equivalent of a campfire story
so when Rocky returns home with an alien who's a persistence predator (more than that, a persistence predator that conquered their planet this way) it's like he revived some eldritch monster believed to have been vanquished
Grace goes swimming! Rocky is not thrilled.
Eridians cant "hold their breath" like humans do, their vents dont close completly so water can still get in, if they fall in water they drown and die. safe to say rocky is not a fan of when grace does it for fun xD
(i got the inspo for this from this fic: Enrichment by alatarmaia4, please check it out it is so funny)
More art of Rocky Stressingâ˘ď¸ about human biology
Rocky, once again, being baffled and STRESSED about human biology and the things his human does to keep healthy i dont think mr "my whole crew died of radiation sickness" likes the fact that his alien and most things on his planet needs it for survival very much xD previous
i've always wondered what human speech would look like visually in the POV of eridians in the same way eridian speech is written as music notes in the book and my favorite version of it i've seen in fics is when words are written as phonetics in rocky's POV :-) oh and also that one post about rocky and grace figuring out random words they can say in the other's language
i know we just met but iâve been thinking about you my whole life

Oh please let Grammarly get sued into oblivion
How the hell they greenlighted that. How there is no one there with a minimum of common sense to shout that this was going to be the outcome. How their legal department didn't murder every single engineer to prevent this from shipping
"We take criticism seriously" obviously you do not.
Too late for a "whoopsie, our bad", fuckers.
Superhuman, the tech company behind the writing software Grammarly, is facing a class action lawsuit over an AI tool that presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsânone of whom consented to have their names appear within the product.
Julia Angwin, an award-winning investigative journalist who founded The Markup, a nonprofit news organization that covers the impact of technology on society, is the only named plaintiff in the suit, which does not call for a specific amount in damages but argues that damages across the plaintiff class are in excess of $5 million. She was among the many individuals, alongside Stephen King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, offered up via Grammarlyâs âExpert Reviewâ tool as a kind of virtual editor for users.
Imagine being a product manager in grammarly and going like "fuck yeah, we are going to add a a Stephen King agent to our product" without immediately having a little part of your brain that goes "uh the dude probably has enough money to buy our entire company three times over, and he could field an army of lawyers against us for using his name without his permission".
Imagine being so full of yourself that you think you can just use the literal most successful author alive's name without his consent.
Holy fuck.
Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra responds to the Grammarly âexpert reviewâ controversy, and whether AI is extracting more value than it creat
One thing about these AI tech bro ceos, they have no concept of shutting the fuck up. It is almost impressive.
READ THIS INTERVIEW! I'm not sure I've ever read a more vicious interview, the journalist does not let up, does not let him get away with nonanswers unchallenged. God how I wish more journalists acted like this in interviews.
Grammarly is being bluntly and forcefully removed from united states .gov computers, starting IMMEDIATELY (26 mar 26).
Source: I got a work email about it half an hour ago.
This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kidsâ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.
Okay but imagine being in kindergarten and seeing something like this, you would absolutely change your mind about wanting to be a fire fighter or teacher or whatever Job you've been told is cool and possible to grow up to do because wait a minute it's just like play-doh, there's so much it's kept in trash cans, you can use your hands to smear icing everywhere? It smells like cinnamon buns all the time?! Yes please!
I vaguely remember having a field trip to a bakery in kindergarten and thinking croissants were magical and that I wanted to make them in the future cuz kneading dough looked fun.
