Assuming that Eridian language is entirely tonal/rhythm-based (how would they even make consonants or varied vowels), and each pitch/chord that they can make represents a different character/concept (I'm imagining something like Eastern languages here, where there are concepts built upon concepts by combining characters/chords?), I think that Rocky would find human music kind of nonsensical. In songs with lyrics, I'm sure he could understand them, assuming they were sung clearly enough, but the changing tones and instrumental chords and such would have him catching snippets of Eridian concepts/chords/rhythms that aren't there in whatever human language it was written in.

"Why song about love keep using Eridian word for table, question?" etc

As for whether or not he'd like it, that's anyone's guess. I like to think it's not his favorite at first, but he warms up to it over time.

I don't know how Grace would feel about Eridian music. Imagining their language as tonal means that most (if not all) of their music would be inherently lyrical (since music is essentially notes and rhythms strung together, which is also the basis of their language itself), so I'm imagining that a lot of their songs/lyrics are written specifically in ways that make the words sound good together, both in meaning and actual sound

That being said, the chords and rhythms that sound good to humans may be very different from the chords and rhythms that sound good to humans, so who knows whether or not Grace would like it

I also like to think that Rocky starts Grace out with a bunch of baby songs meant for teaching baby Eridians their language

Additional note: Eridians can hear higher and lower frequencies than humans, and I'm sure their music would utilize most of those frequencies, so I'm sure there's a lot of Eridian music that Grace just. can't hear

"Best part soon, listen, Grace"

"??? ...Can't hear it, Rock"

"Oh. Too low sound for human ears. Sad" (He continues bopping along to the music sadly)

I also have a feeling that a good number of Eridian songwriters would also start creating "human-friendly songs" specifically for Grace, i.e. songs that only use pitches that he can hear, and mostly simple words that he knows/likely knows

My art for @invisobang this year!

Also stay tuned for my partner @idiot-cheesehead-archenemy 's fic, Alone Together! (I'll reblog this post with the link when it goes up.)

[Image Description: Danny, in ghost form, leans away from a microphone held by Harriet Chin. His eyes are wide and his hands are clasped over his mouth, as if he's said something that he didn't mean to. The scene is dark, lit only by Danny's glow.]

Bonus funky version:

You feel the water move by your tail, and you look to see this.

It's the last thing you see before you die.

[Image Description: A Sacabambaspis (finless, jawless prehistoric fish) looms in the middle-foreground, looking right at the viewer. Her eyes are large and round and shiny, and her maw is immovable, perpetually open in a silly, gaping grin.

She's round and half-mossy-green and half-white, and has some gill slits along her sides and some sensory depressions along her spine.

In the background, a Conodont flees, and in the foreground, a different Conodont's tail ("your" tail, for the purpose of this post) wafts out, until it eventually touches the Sacabambaspis and floats to the side, offscreen.]

This post was inspired by a Discord message I sent while some friends and I were talking about Sacabambaspis, in which I postulated that it was a predator, because of its front-facing eyes.

I've since done some more research, and learned that they were likely filter-feeders, due to their jawlessness and lack of teeth, but they did have a set of bony plates in their mouths, that likely moved in order to provide suction.

I couldn't find much in the way of what they actually ate, but I could see them being opportunists who would totally munch on the Forbidden Spaghetti.

(Conodonts, thought to be the world's oldest vertebrates, were long, skinny lil guys with huge, side-facing eyes and maws filled with jagged dental plates (tons of em, actually), but one of the only two (2) sources that I could find in regards to their actual size says that they were about 2mm in diameter, but up to 400mm long! Which are absolutely wild proportions lmao.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the art! <3

Bonus wips:

Stakeout conversations

I genuinely hope I'm not the first one to think of this

[Image description: A mini comic with four images.

The first image is Danny Phantom and Kim Possible, sitting on a roof, at night, under a starry sky. Danny is facing to the side relative to the viewer, leaning against a brick wall, and Kim leans backward on her hands. Despite the fact that Danny is in ghost form, and Kim is in her mission outfit, they both look relaxed, just hanging out and talking. Kim asks a question of some sort (left vague, denoted by a single question mark), and Danny starts, "Well..."

The second image is a closeup of Danny's eyes as he looks away, off to the side. He explains, "I... I didn't know they were clones, okay? Or how unstable they were, so... I fought them like I would any other ghost, and... They destabilized. Nothing but bubbly, green goo."

The third image is a closeup of Kim as she replies nonchalantly, "Oh yeah, that happened to me, too. It was no big, though, all I had to do to melt them was spray them with soda." She further muses, "Same green goo and everything. I always thought the bubbling was from the soda, though..."

Wanted a pic of Phantom faceplanting recently, and was appalled to find that I couldn't find one! So I made one :) Huge thanks to @skellagirl for doing the highlights!!! She did an amazing job and I could not be happier <3
