"Consensual, but still weird" is underrated in toxic freaky shipping world. There are many ways you can make it weird while still having everyone agree to it

[tlirsgender]

They consented but at what cost

grace giving the eridians access to silicon computers and they go insane with GIS. geology and geography interest skyrockets as scientists thrum to create satellites. geological surveys are done to better understand their planet and how astrophage has damaged it, and they use that information to heal.

yeah that’s cool, but also grace gets to watch eridians invent geoguesser in real time. they become extremely competitive about it—his class goes bananas for their daily warmup round. guessing the daily coordinates is the first “argument” grace has ever seen rocky and adrian have. it has eridian society in a chokehold

he’s scared of what’ll happen if the eridians find out about wordle.

Okay bear with me but I was thinking about how Rocky canonically watches Grace sleep (very close, directly above chest height) and considering how that would translate to Eridians... Do these rocks sleep in a stack??

Yeah, more Project Hail Mary as text posts. Featuring more Eva Stratt because I love her.

Grace probably showering and Rocky would combust

thinking about eva stratt as a history student before she was the world's scapegoat.....like yeah who else could it be but a historian and a middle school teacher to save the world??

oh my god apparently there's a pre astrophage collection sleepover scene they had to cut that's described as "rocky and grace being two kids at summer camp" that was 1) one of the first scenes jortiz and team ever did on set and 2) so good it set the tone for rocky's portrayal for the rest of the movie. there's no way it's not in the extras for the collector's edition, i literally cannot wait

[cowardsexual]

here's where the sound team talks about it. it's time-stamped but i highly recommend watching the entire interview, super fun insights on the editing and production of the movie

[girlrust]

james mentions it in this interview too

[annabelle--cane]

eva stratt's internalized misogyny. eva stratt's perpetrator trauma. eva stratt's lack of sense of self. and other things I regularly consider on prolonged train commutes.

hey yeah so rocky speaking to the loved ones of his late crewmates and telling them they died from a sickness they had no way of knowing of and that his survival was just luck. except well he has to sit with the fact that he had the solution to their survival right there with him the whole time. the whole time. if he’d have just put the facts together he could’ve saved somebody. hey

the most fun a girl can have is finding parallels, noticing patterns, making connections, contemplating
