How do I turn the fantasy in my head of neighbors all banding together to withstand the economy and everybody claps, into something that's actually realistic that I can do right now?
Everything about him screams friend!
- The first thing he does is copy. Very friendly sign when you have no other communication
- the little sensors and dishes on the blip A look like they are reacting to grace's silliness catching blip b, like we are. We are in Rocky's shoes before we even meet him! It's him and us together looking at Grace's shenanigans
- his eridian singing is beautiful and has lovely tones to it! Us space blobs love music and nice sounds
- he is dog size and has dog number of legs. His design is a little bit dog. (His brain is not dog of course). At the end of that live stream watching him sleep, he wakes up and does a big stretch like a dog or cat, despite the fact i have no idea if that's even feasible considering his biology
- everything about the music associated with him is very friendly and I remember someone saying the music primes us to feel like he's a bit familiar and therefore not scary
- technically he has no face, but one surface of his is treated like the main face a lot! Which feels familiar to us
- his laugh when he mirrors grace's dance moves is more high pitched! It activates "just like me" neurons AND "omg cute" neurons simultaneously
- the shots showing what he "sees"! We are in his shoes and we know what it's like for him!
- even though his voice is coming from two laptops duct taped together (Ortiz' words I believe), and words are chosen from an algorithm... he still does inflection and emphasis and volume and all the other impossible very human parts of speaking. Not even a time delay between note and word, as if he IS saying these words with that tone.
- that shot when Grace doesn't want to take off his helmet and he walks away... and rocky looks so lonely 😭😭 and trusting him pays off! He shows hospitality with the air in the tunnel!
- he gives gifts and makes a little xenonite Grace! He likes puppets!
- he is scared of the same thing we are (the creepy voice) & has the same opinions on them we do! despite having no cultural context to work with
- the way he tumbles everywhere is very endearing
- WHERE MY BEDROOOOOOOM
I know where I want to put Volenta and Ludmilla. It'd be great if there was one place in the castle and one place in the world where you could encounter the brides, but I'm not sure where that would be for Escher and Anastrasya?
Say someone goes through a stressful time where they have to remember lots of things and after that thing is over, their memory is mush.
How would you go about fixing that?
