Everyone, especially the allo/heteronormative folks, who saw project Hail Mary and felt sympathy towards Grace when Stratt told him ‘you don’t even have a dog.’ I need yall to feel that same emotion and empathize with your single and childless friends, be they aro/ace/aroace or just not interested. Just because someone doesn’t have a partner or child does not mean they have inherently less worth and it does not mean their life is inherently less meaningful. Grace loved his kids. He loved his job. He had joy. He had fulfillment. He was a person.

just thots like we all clown on roy mustang but that man is terrifying. he’s mean. if he doesn’t care about you then he really doesn’t care about you. he basically has the power of a bomb in his fingers. can i reiterate that he’s mean? he’s an asshole. yes he’s empathetic yes he loves his humans blah blah blah he’s an asshole and he can burn people alive by snapping his fingers. in a war but have roy mustang? you’ve won, you can send the other guys home. he takes every other fma character out for a walk. yes, even father. yes, even kimblee. pride might be tough, but roy puts him to bed too. scary, scary man

[transmascriza]

it's interesting to me that roy had to be nerfed in every major fight he participated on during the series (raining during vs scar/stabbed during vs lust/suffering the consequences of stab vs envy and gluttony/blind @ final fight) because otherwise there just wouldn't be any fight LOL

but also seeing him never truly show what he's capable of and making you think he's kind of pathetic just to then hit you with how terrifying he is when he's at full power during vs. envy(giving you a taste of it first with him easily killing the white homunculi zombie guys thingies) is sooo good. it's crazy

i trusted you

[flygoing]

Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people

THE ORIGINAL?!?!?!?!?!

[lukeishope]

Something about a schoolteacher being the one to save not just Earth, but Erid, too. Something about a schoolteacher being the one to lead First Contact with an intelligent alien species. Something about a schoolteacher teaching an alien about physics and biology and science and language. Something about a schoolteacher sacrificing his life to save his friend and an entire alien species. Something about a schoolteacher surviving all of that and thinking, what am I going to do with the rest of my life here on this alien planet? Something about the schoolteacher’s answer to that question being teach.

Can you imagine being Gandalf? Getting shit from other wizards because you have a thing for hobbits and you're just like, okay. Okay, maybe I'll temper my fascination with hobbits.

This Ring quest will have two hobbits. Maximum.

Then they all get to Rivendell and have somehow multiplied into four hobbits. And it's like. Okay. Maybe the others are right.

Maybe this is too many hobbits.

We have as many hobbits as we have not-hobbits.

But damn it, you just don't want to get rid of any of these hobbits. Screw it! Everyone can deal. Four hobbits. This is a four hobbits problem.

So away you go.

And things go bad in the worst possible way.

Over and over.

You've lost your hobbits. You've lost yourself. The fellowship has been separated.

It takes everything in your power to help the humans defend themselves, bringing them together to save Rohan. Finally, as things begin to look upright, you're ready to face the war with everything the Rohirrim have left.

You're ready to face him. This may be the hardest battle you've ever fought. But you ride.

Then you get there and two of your fucking hobbits are sitting there like "Yeah, while you were gone, we raised a tree army and beat Saruman's ass. Wanna help us loot his tower?"

....

There were not, in fact, too many hobbits.

This was a four hobbits problem.

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry

[hatersmad]

ohhhh my god

[faithful-grigori]

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

I didn't need to start crying today but I guess now I am

It’s so important to me that he says “Dr. Captain Ryland Grace” when sending the Beatles back to Earth. Because the Hail Mary was made for a Captain, a Scientist, and an Engineer. And Grace only claims the Captain and Scientist parts. Because Rocky is the Engineer! Rocky is the Hail Mary’s Engineer!!!
