MasterPost

I don't know about anyone else, but when it comes to trying new things I'm not very picky. And humans have a wide range of things we can eat.

So, I think it would be funny for a transformer, whose diet is much more limited (though how much can depend within canon), to find out just how much we can consume, and try to test it a little.

This fruit is very acidic, and this one is full of a chemical that makes your [mouth] feel like it's on fire!

Oh, you like them? They "taste good"?

Ok then how about.... this bug! And... the juices (sap) of this tree!

You. You like them. Why do you like them.

Do I want some? Frag no! My systems aren't built to deal with investing those, especially not the microorganics living in them.

Why on earth

This is only my second post but honestly I'm getting the hang of this. Another humans are space orcs thing because I fancy it.

Since there's so many species on the big galactic ship, what if humans just so happened to stand out like a red ball in a green courtyard?

The concept isn't new, but seriously? Out of the 47 (seems like a small number, but realistically would there be that many on one ship? This isn't Noah's ark.) species on this ship, humans, hairless and lanky humans, stand out. Humans, who only share a few things with the other species. And most of those are things like "can see". So when they first get introduced, everyone pulls away in slight discomfort and a deep sense that the humans don't belong here.

We didn't do anything..particularly..it's just, how can you look at a species that loves overusing the panic response, and be all "Yeah, this guy's family!" Of course not.

Why on earth would we look so strange? For some reason everyone depicts aliens as being reptiles, slimey creatures, crystal behemoths, etc. So when humans, hairless and lanky humans walks in, we're put on a pedestal. And let's be real that pedestal is negative, but I digress. And yes I'm ranting, it's 2 in the morning and I have sludge for brains right now.

Why on earth that when the aliens find out that human Jess is actually autistic, they question if any of their kind have that kind of brain science too but just never addressed it. Or that human Brian eats plants that have a specific substance in them that when eaten cause the tongue to feel like it's on fire, and CONTINUES to eat said plant.

Like said:

Alien: hey human Brian! Oh- are you okay? Why does that salsa make your nose sniffle and your eyes water? Are you allergic!? Do we need a medic!??-

Brian: no- skib, calm down, it's just the peppers I put in it.

Alien: ..you mean the peppers that cause that fire-like reaction to mammals to ward them away? You PURPOSEFULLY put that in your food!??

Human: .. uh..yeah? It burns but like, in a good way!

Alien: ..your species are suicidal, human Brian!

And now the jokester aliens don't ever try to steal the human food because.. what if it has the feisty plant?

Humans and laughter.

Glad to see some of us are projecting the “gender-dubious STEM expert turns into an absolute freak when not at work” archetype onto post-Hail Mary Grace. Because anyone in STEM with a big enough circle will know that at least one of the more respected experts in any given field behind closed doors is into hypno-leash-bdsm-sybau-ts-pmo or some shit

rewatching PHM and this is all I can think of

The concept of Eva Stratt eventually developing dementia.

She forgets what day it is, then what week, then whay month, and eventually what year. It's almost like when she was in prison and time just blurred together and everything hurt.

She forgets her prison neck tattoo. She forgets ever going to prison at all. Why is there a mark on her neck? She asked one of the staff what it meant once but it slipped her mind afterwards. She forgets her own name but she Knows that she has no one. Not even a dog. She forgets how old she is.

However her bones, her muscles, her nervous system do not forget Project Hail Mary and being Dictator of the World. Having to race to save the world over and over again for a reason that she only half-remembers. She asks after Dr Grace when she forgets.

There is a man who works in the care facility* with brown-blond hair and blue eyes who wears funny socks (even if she would never tell him she found them funny. It would be deeply unprofessional and an affection that she cannot afford to give) and is constantly misplacing his glasses. She calls him Dr Grace sometimes. He is Dr Grace sometimes. Other times she calls him the name that's on his badge. Big and yellow like Grace's raincoat is. Was. He almost always brings her good coffee.

She tells him that she is sorry and that she did what must be done and would do it all again tomorrow. Today, in three hours. She forgets.

*idk if Stratt would end up in a care home (or even make it to old age at all but 🤷🏻‍♂️) with others or if she would be on her own but with carers coming to visit her instead

I love how Grace was staring at Dubois and Shapiro and immediately leaves to talk to Stratt like "do you get the whole romance thing people have going on" and they have an indirect conversation implying that no she doesnt get it either but some people do and then they rejoin the party

the jason todd death vote is so fascinating to me from a societal and political perspective

i only JUST figured out in my mmm 12th? watch of project hail mary that this scene —

—where ryan goslings ‘no-yes’ acting choice baffled even the directors, happens BECAUSE ‘righty-loosey, lefty-tighty’ and ‘thumbs down for thumbs up’ establishes an opposite theme of answers between the two of them

i totally see where gosling was coming from game recognizes game, but it makes grace look crazy and rocky, half alive, is like wtf is your problem

Incredible line-up

Can we just talk about the contrast in color grading in PHM. The space scenes are filled with warm, cozy and earth tones while the Earth scenes are bleak and desaturated. Space then feels more like Grace's home because it's where he finds his purpose.

Okay, listen. I love Batman and the Batfamily as much as the next person, but can we stop putting down the JL to push the bats onto a pedestal?

Like- Hal Jordan. He's an Air Force Academy Graduate, was in the Air Force, and is a Test Pilot. You don't do that while being 'dumb'. He differs from Bruce because he trusts his instincts rather than data. He's impulsive where Bruce is calculated, and it's what makes him thrive in chaos where Bruce does with control. Not to mention, alien politics can NOT be an easy thing.

From what i've seen, people like to put Barry Allen in a 'dumb' light too. Which, couldn't be more wrong. He's a forensic scientist, a good one at that, and it's not an easy job. If anything, I'd like to see him conversing with Bruce on the topic more within fan-made media. It would probably be a joy for Barry to talk to someone who understands his work without him having to simplify or explain everything. And I've also seen people putting him down as 'weak' for his compassion, which...really..?

Then we got Arthur Curry.. He's a king, you guys. King of Atlantis? Protector of the Seas? He's royalty and a warrior, and has the diplomacy and instincts to back it up. His kingdom trusts him despite likely still not trusting those on the surface, and from what I can tell and assume, he's the main mediator between those of the ocean and those on land. He's impulsive, which is always seen as a weakness, but he's also passionate and very loyal to his people.

Oliver Queen? Let me start by saying he is a master archer, but Bruce is not. Bruce is not going to be able to correct him or talk as if Oliver is just..not shooting arrows correctly. Oliver has run for mayor of Star City and used his platform to challenge systemic inequality. Not to say Bruce hasn't, but they do it in very different ways. And with that, unlike Bruce, who often remains emotionally closed off, Oliver evolves. His relationships—with Dinah Lance, Roy Harper, Connor Hawke, and likely others that I can't name for the life of me—are messy but deeply human. He’s made mistakes, owned them, and grown from them. I believe people tend to forget how much Oliver has grown and changed throughout everything. Bruce is not the only human walking alongside gods and metas.

There are MANY others that we could bring up; feel free to do so. But the point is, Bruce is not the best. He has weaknesses just like the others. I know that it's hard as hell to write a story where they all have a place to fit in and have a part to play that is independent from the others, and I know it's easiest to focus on one character to progress. But I did just kind of want to acknowledge this. And please, feel free to correct anything I said if needed, perhaps I mischaracterized someone in my attempt not to, but that's because I, like them, have weaknesses alongside my strengths.

Say what you want, but Grace adding, "people are hooking up" to the list of 'odd things to do at an already weird party' is the most Ace thing he could've said-

robertseanleonardthinker

the puppetry in phm is just so fucking good dude. think abt how much improv there was. the dancing/mimicking scene when rocky and grace first met? that was improvised. that means that 5 people were so in sync with each other on this puppet that they were able to mimic ryan gosling in real time with no plan. bro. BRO. ouugghhhhh rocky puppeteers i love u
