Thoughts and extras below

So this did not start out as fanart for @notsoheterosapien Au but I couldn’t get it out of my brain so that’s what it turned into.

Anyways here are some alt versions and the og sketches

"If we blow the whistle on this," Eva murmurs, "we'll be killed."

"So we die," Hatch shrugs, rather matter-of-fact about it all. "Too many people gave their lives for this project. The U.N. can't just abandon it to flee Earth."

WIP / AU explanation below

In this AU, both Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture (from Iron Lung) happen in the same universe, 300 years apart from one another.

In the 2 decades between the HM's launch and the Beetles' return to Earth, Stratt needs to find a way to keep the worlds' leaders too busy to tear the world apart by way of war, so, along with Steve Hatch (an engineer from the book), she proposes a new space program "for redundancy."

This space program includes putting Astrophage production plants not on the Moon, as Hatch suggested in the book, but on Mars.

This program is exclusively meant to distract world leaders, and is not meant at all to be profitable or stretch beyond a 20 year lifespan.

Despite this expectation, the U.N.'s leaders develop a vested interest in Martian colonization following Hatch's discoveries regarding the ability to synthesize water using Astrophage-fuel (Astrofuel), and decide to dedicate 50% of the funds needed to finish Project Hail Mary to this program, instead.

Stratt protests, of course, but her pleads fall on deaf ears. There's no guarantee Earth will heal back to the way it was before the Petrova Line, and it's incredibly unlikely to happen within any of their lifetimes, anyway.

The few begin to see little profit in continuing to aid the many...especially when a clear option for a long, prosperous lifestyle is dangling right in front of them.

It's spoilers so I'm not going to say how, but hasty Martian colonization is what eventually leads to the Quiet Rapture happening 3 centuries down the line.

hey um. so sorry to tell you this, but op of that post plays toys kinda weird. yeah you should just block them, that's not how normal people play with toys

[kuromi-hoemie]

this is what shipping discourse sounds like to me

[acer--rubrum]

was considering making a talk tag and the first thing I thought of was "simon says" which is either the funniest thing or stupidest thing I could do

[acer--rubrum]

whenever I see someone say it's anti aroace to ship bloodymary I can't not wonder if they're aware a bunch of bloodymary shippers are aspec and see grace as aspec

[binibiningdarna]

Yeah, you need to chop that thing off.

[acer--rubrum]

outer wilds abbreviates to ow because when you think too hard about it you are put in immense emotional pain

[chalroe]

"I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."

thinking about Hatchling discovering Grace & Rocky's story hundreds of thousands of years after it happened when there are no more Eridians or humans to tell it :')

[acer--rubrum]

sometimes I think about how outer wilds would be the epitome of a perfect game if you took out the fucking fish
