happy june to everyone, especially my fellow aroaces
Aroace culture is experiencing a crush but only in an aesthetic/platonic way
.
do you ever consider that the entirety of tumblr is in a massive thrum about phm. we're in an eridian thrum, guys. we're all collectively Thinking Big and somehow coming up with new things to be devastated about
Aroace culture is feeling anger over people saying “well this character could be in a relationship, aroace people can still date!” When aroace people already have so little representation and have to fight to even express it as a headcanon and when there’s finally a confirmed character people just ignore it
.
Aroace culture is kinning Ryland Grace to the point of no return
.
can confirm
I like to think about that the bike Grace had, where (in the movie, I don't remember about the book), it never made it back to his home. Sitting there for days. Weeks. How long was it there before it was moved? How long did the students watch it as they passed, knowing their favourite teacher, their backup, maybe even their safe space, wasn't coming back. I like to think they left things there. An homage to him. First one student stuck a flower in the rusting metal spokes of the front wheel. Then another. Then one day Eva Stratt sees an old, weathered bike with flowers and gifts and cards and drawings made only by the hands of rushed teenagers. And that is the first time Eva Stratt truly breaks down.
Because he gave them their future. And she took away his.
I have a Project Hail Mary head-canon, and I need the world to hear me out on this.
So while realistically I don't think all the world's governments would have released all of the Project Hail Mary video logs to the public of their own free will (They'd take one look at Rocky and decide "Yup, that needs to be a secret"), I DO think the logs of Ryland and Rocky would get out anyways. Why?
Because there are no secrets to be held from gay furry hackers.
Give it a month, two months max, of the beetles being on earth and some furry, some where, will leak every single video to the public. There'll be great controversy over whether it's real or not at first, but with former students of Grace's confirming that that was their teacher, the exact same way he spoke and sounded so many years ago, it'd be irrefutable.
And who would the world have to thank?
Gay. Furry. Hackers.
Me, rereading Project Hail Mary: Oh god, the scene where Grace and Rocky say goodbye to each other is so sad. Good thing we’ll have some space shenanigans for me to calm down before the next sad thing happens.
Stratt: I studied history
Me: WAH!
Could you imagine making your own movie, making like 20 million dollars, and then going “awesome, now to install a DVD duplicating machine in my house and personally burn copies by hand like a medieval monk preserving sacred texts”
Like I need people to understand the mental image here of a multimillionaire internet creator personally overseeing DVD production in his own house like he’s running an underground bootleg operation out of a basement in 2007.
It’s weirdly charming because there’s something very “old internet” about it, this energy of “I made a thing, and now I will physically hand it to people myself like an artisan at a craft fair.”
The man really said: “The future of cinema is me standing next to a humming disc burner at 2am”
And like... I can't help but believe he's onto something
Eridians are apex predators. Humans, despite considering ourselves the top of the food chain, actually fall into the same trophic level as pigs and anchovies—tertiary omnivores.
But humans are pursuit predators. And Eridians seem more likely to be ambush predators.
What I'm saying is on that years-long trip to Erid there were absolutely several instances of Rocky & Grace doing something that was absolutely terrifying to the other one and then having to be like "oh yeah no that's normal. Sorry."
Ok so at some point on Erid, Grace expresses interest in learning about their fauna, or if they have anything like pets. Rocky describes several, and eventually agrees to arrange an interaction with one type commonly kept as a pet. Grace doesn't want to observe from afar, and requests some kind of xenonite ball/suit situation. Rocky insists on supervising closely, not wanting his fragile alien friend to have his shit wrecked by an overexcited creature.
Things end up going smoothly, and the animal is pretty cute! It looks like nothing Grace has ever seen before, and he's well aware it could obliterate his bones if it suddenly charged at him. But it's quite small, and it makes adorable noises.
All this is my excuse for Rocky to have his first experience hearing the absurd baby talk so many of us do with animals lol.
Grace's voice pitches up and down wildly, cooing and spouting incoherent words. He strokes the barrier between him and the creature, petting it as best he can, and for whatever reason, finds it necessary to say, "Who's a good little domesticated animal?? Yeeesss, it's you!"
When he finally says something to Rocky in his normal voice, all Rocky can say is, "What the fuck was that, question??"
So you're telling me that it's more natural for Kirk to go to Bones's quarters than his own, to the point that it's what he does when he's on autopilot?
I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.
Me, spraying bug spray: blocked.
Listen and sometimes? To enjoy running through a beautiful field of grass and flowers (ao3) you have to tolerate the fact that bugs (fics you don’t like) are there and maybe you will even encounter one, but you can use bugspray (filtered tags) to reduce the likelihood of that. Because the alternative is not getting to experience the beautiful field of grass and flowers.
And some of my mutuals happen to be entomologists. Which is also cool.
Academic papers should all be free to read if you're just, like interested.
I know that there is more information available on this one specific bug than they put in the Wikipedia stub. I know that somebody out there is a real freak about this specific variety of ermine moth. Let me read about it.
While I do appreciate the good intentions of everyone saying that you can just email the author of a paper and ask for a free copy, that is not what I'm talking about here.
Like, it is definitely nice that sometimes people will let you read an article for free. However, that should be possible without having to 1) track down their contact 2) email them 3) wait days for a response 4) hope the response is yes. For every single article you want to read.
I would like for knowledge to be freely accessible without having to cold contact some dude in China and hoping he sends me a pdf.
