this post has reblogs off but i think about it all the time. truly evergreen post
i am very ill so this is all i can muster for now, but here are some concepts for my phm reverse au. sopping wet wrinkly creature.
- he communicates with rocky via sign language, as his species uses light and colour to communicate rather than sound, and his sense of hearing is limited
- he has very good eyesight and a powerful sense of smell
- he can't walk and use his hands at the same time, as he needs all four limbs to move
- when walking, he creeps and crawls with a low posture, but he sits up straight when at rest, which allows easier use of his hands
- he has four joints in each finger and toe, which makes his hands very skilled at delicate work
- however, due to the low gravity of his planet, he is very weak and his bones are very fragile
- he is always uncomfortably cold and wet to the touch
his organs glow and flash with colours. it was the first light and colour rocky had seen in 11.5 years that wasn't the dim, cold grey light of the stars.
rocky can't say his name, as it is just a combination of coloured light flashes, so he calls him grace as a way to tease him for how he stumbles around ungracefully
