Poor Yorick
Highlights from the Project Hail Mary director's commentary:
*SPOILERS!!!*
Grace waking up from the coma was the first shot they filmed for the movie! They wanted Ryan to feel eased into the character, and what better way to do that than have him play a character who can't remember who he is?
The little "GOOD LUCK!" note in sharpie that's written on Grace's sleeping bag was canonically written by the other astronauts on the I.S.S. before the Hail Mary crew got put into the ship. In real life, Phil and Chris wrote one word each. They said it was like "a blessing on the movie."
Ryan's most nerve-wracking day on set was when he had to shoot with the classroom full of children. Most of the kids were made up of the children of the film's crew members.
The scene where Grace looks through Yao and Ilukhina's photos is footage of him looking at and reacting to actual pictures of the actors with their loved ones.
When Grace calls Stratt to tell her that he and Carl figured out how to breed astrophage, Ryan is genuinely calling Sandra on her day off set, and her audio is her genuine reaction to the unexpected line: "Carl and I made a baby!"
"We like showcasing Ryland Grace's social anxiety while having a lot of people staring at him. LOL!"
Their intention for the space funeral scene was to have Grace convey that he was trying to ease his own sadness by making the dead people with him feel better about being dead :(
The markings on Rocky's body convey his mission patch, his rank in the crew, his wedding band, and his family crest.
Grace and Stratt's conversation on the boat is Grace asking her if they're allowed to be close friends, and the response from Stratt is no, they can't. This gets driven home in the karaoke scene. She understands the value of connection, a part of her wants it, but "Her love for people has to be suspended for her to do her job."
Rocky has different forward-facing faces for different thought processes! They named his "satellite dish" face, his "scrunched up thinking face", and his "monobrow face".
Direct quote: "I love how on the spectrum Rocky is." ROCKY AUTISTIC CODED CONFIRMED!
After Rocky recovers from his injuries: "As Rocky returns to the movie, the lights turn on. The warmth returns. It's like the day breaking."
Confirmed that when Grace and Rocky reunite, Rocky says to Grace, "You came back for me, question?"
They throw this out there for two seconds and do NOT expand on it, but according to Andy Weir, Stratt is imprisoned for life but somehow ESCAPES???
The Eridians built Grace an artificial tree in his enclosure because Rocky knew he liked trees
There's so much more they shared about film processes and the people who were behind making certain effects possible. I highly recommend checking out the commentary if you're able!
Tbh I can’t wait until Azune gets to fully lose his shit. We got a sneak peek of his full power in ep22, I want to see him at full “fuck this shit, I am going to be the last one standing, come at me.” Love me complex characters and cr4 is feeding me well.
biiiiiiiig Rocky stretch
The Neath is perfectly set up to enable life-stage-related crises of monumental proportions compared to the Surface. What's the worst you could do if you hit 15, or 30, or 50 on the Surface and immediately start questioning your entire life direction and the universe at large, really? Become fucking insufferable about philosophy and poetry? Get super into backpacking? Play the Sims 4 for six weeks straight without eating a single vegetable? Quit your job and fail horribly at starting a farm? Meanwhile in the Neath, if you've done well enough at all the Making Your Name and Ambition type stuff by the time you hit breakdown event horizon, if you're well positioned enough and fuck it up bad enough you could sway the results of a cosmic conflict.
Imagine coming to your senses halfway across the Zee with 3.2 fucktillion Echoes worth of Shapeling Arts body mods instead of just an ill advised tattoo. Sorry, The Actual Nation Of Russia and also half the Masters want you dead now because the thing you got really super into to try and prove your worthiness in a self esteem crisis was the Great Game. You could sell your soul. You could accidentally unmake a few laws of reality. You could build the Dawn Machine 2. You could start Seeking the Name. It's unfair, really. I think it's genuinely a part of the cosmic horror, that suddenly the mistakes of young people that would normally be relatively harmless to anyone but them and mostly reversible even so can have universe-level implications, but it's also really fucking funny to think about. Sorry bro I heard you tried to move to Polythreme to get a new start and your hat caused an international incident. :/
*cackles* I do so loving the phrasing in Fallen London. The following on why you might choose to steal an eldritch painting instead of spending bottled souls to buy it:
You know what? I think in this instance that perhaps purchasing it is beneath my dignity. Most perspicacious of you, game, thank you!
fallen london is fun because you learn how to direct an orchestra in a week and then make everyone's ears bleed on purpose
the concept of a team of eridians keeping grace’s dome exactly how he likes it. not just habitable but perfectly tailored to him down to the temp of the sea and the levels of fog and the door on his home. and they’re so excited to be taught by him despite how strange he must look to them. the outsider finding a home where he should fit in the least. i’m gonna cry again
love this woman

They're so silly (SIGH)
samuel makes only good decisions and also he definitely learns from them. he died in the law furnace 4 times
For folks who don't go here, this year's summer event in Fallen London involved the laws of reality getting overwritten (long story), so at one point we had to borrow the devils' Law Furnace (its a thing they have, don't worry about it) to forge new ones. After working at it for a bit, you'd catch a glimpse of Something Shiny inside the furnace -- there's a way to get it, but if you hadn't worked out the solution to this puzzle yet you'd only have the option to leave it there for now, or CLIMB INTO THE LAW FURNACE AND BE INSTANTLY DISINTEGRATED.
it turns out, for some reason, a lot of my friends saw an option that said "climb inside the furnace: this will disintegrate you and achieve nothing" and did not immediately click it,

Bonus: walking in six inch heels while barely able to see on uneven cobblestones produced this.... suitable gait. (I was trying my best)
