Now why would Tumblr user twinktorturer say something like this

it would be so nice if you were allowed to start working on projects before you hit the 12 hour until deadline mark but sadly it’s not possible with our current technology. scientists are hard at work but for now this is one of the limitations we must face as a people

Movie grace is an average school teacher that happens to also be really smart. Book grace is a cannibal.

Book rocky is a normal guy. Movie rocky is a fucking madman with anger issues that stopped wearing clothes after his crew died and jumpscared an alien during first contact for no reason at all.

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

don't infantilise yourself. you are not a child who needs an adult to make your decisions for you. you are a splendid and magnificent autocrat and you are consulting your trusted advisors. you are exercising great wisdom by inviting an expert to give their opinion before making your ruling. often the path of wisdom is to say "good morning, I'm trying to [perform task] and I have a question about [aspect], can you tell me who I should speak to for advice?" before you do it. sometimes the path of wisdom is to hire a plumber. there are times when you cannot do things for yourself but that doesn't mean you are not an adult. you don't need a grown-up. you need a specialist.

[duckbunny]

this has come up a couple of times so let me be really really clear:

the path of wisdom is sometimes to hire a plumber.

the path of wisdom is always to hire an electrician.

project hail mary is so pure and perfect from beginning to end like. as a molecular biology PhD student i screamed the moment i saw ryland was a molecular biologist cause yea we are not the least abundant scientists but it's not common to see us in media that reaches so many people but like. the very first thing he says is that he believes there has to be another life forms not based on water, cause hydrogen and oxygen are not so uncommon nor important when im like. my fascination about biochemistry and ultimately molecular biology started thig the water molecule. how that specific bond between its atoms gives it properties no other molecule has, and ultimately became the reason why life on this planet is the way it is (living beings are based on carbon bla bla bla WRONG. its all thanks to my favourite molecule aka water). [also those are so many words for my first take and not even the longest one omg].

but then you see grace on space, analysing samples. using eppendorf tubes (although he doesn't balance them properly in the centrifuge which is funny considering the importance of the centrifuge force on the ship lol). and he uses micropipettes like. my everyday most used instrument is shown in a movie, and ryan gosling is the actor using them like woahhhh.

and as so many scifi movies it starts with the soon to happen destruction of the earth and all of that. but suddenly the movie is a love letter to life itself????? which i didn't expect at all????? quoting grace, "life is reason star not die." life as we know it, life as bacterias amoebas, protozoa, are saving us even from the death of our sun but some alien microorganism. the very same diversity and lifeforms we humans are daily destroying with our stupid way of living.

and ultimately the movie is a love letter to friendship, which is so refreshing nowadays. ryland finds his purpose, his reason to live, to die for, by making an alien friend. THAT IS SO HUGE. platonic love do deserve this kind of recognition. at the end of the day we are social animals who need friends and partners (not necessarily romantic thou) to share our life with, even if we are in our planet earth or among the stars. someone who listens, who asks, who's there for us, who wants to be a part of our lives, even when it makes them sacrifice years of their life only to help us, even when they won't even see the result, but will be glad that we made it back thanks to them. DO YOU EVEN START TO REALISE HOW MUCH LOVE THERE IS BETWEEN THIS CHARACTERS???? and it's portrayed so easily, so simple, cause it's just like breathing. it just is.

anyways im about to find the book in my closest local bookstore cause this movie has become my new current favourite story right now. im profoundly amazed by all of it.

[coryboringstory]

“I asked chatgpt!” yeah well I asked ryland grace and he said you’re murdering me I don’t want to die don’t send me off to die please

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

[hayleywilliamsfan84]

i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK

grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?

[nepptunii]

who’s gonna tell him

Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again

[shinyrock6498]

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

[asksloyxp]

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???
