Thinking about how Eridians would react to rain.

I don't know how many people are aware of Daredevil (the super[?]hero) and how he - EVERY time, even if he gets horribly ill - will just stand in the rain for hours because, in his words, it makes it so he can "see better." it makes his echolocation or whatever you want to call it go crazy and he gets to "see," so of course he's going to bask in it even if it means getting sick or wildly overstimulated.

All of this to say. The first time the Eridians simulate rain in Grace's enclosure (because they will, the leftover amphibian part of human brains need it for enrichment) is the first time Rocky gets to "see" Grace fully. Because sure they have water and oceans on Erid, they likely have rain cycles that are some form of an ammonia solution, but none of it is something Grace can be exposed to. So the first time they turn it on and Grace is standing there going "Wow, this is - wow!" and crying (probably,) Rocky is just standing there frozen. Because. Hooly shit. Rocky thought they knew what Grace looked like but now they KNOW what Grace looks like and was anybody going to tell Rocky that he looked like that. Huh?? This entire time he's been looking like that??

Rocky standing there making the equivalent of internet dial up sounds and Grace is just like "Uhhh are you good buddy?? Is something wrong? Is this way too loud for you? I'm sorry." guy has no idea

cultures that do an afternoon nap are OBJECTIVELY CORRECT and the world should be learning from them

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

you've heard of the spanish siesta now get ready for places like Vietnam where it's commonplace to see workers pull out a mattress & take an afternoon nap on the office/store floor. very powerful way to roll. give kindergarten-style naptime BACK to the people ✊

[fibonacci-the-fib]

as a vietnamese person: we have designated post lunch nap for students from kindergarten all the way to highschool (day-boarding schools in particular). we also have tables that can be open up into a whole single-bed (with no mattress but it's alrighty) too

like, just open these bad boys up and lay on it for a quick 1-2 hour nap. very cool, help us function better for afternoon classes. we also get snack after waking up too.

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

I feel like early in their friendship Rocky would be curious about Grace’s glasses (ft. Grace’s inability to wear them correctly)

Lesson #2

[stargirl-and-potts]

Still thinking about how Grace was always treated as disposable. Kicked out of his passion field for his honesty—underpaid as a (very good) teacher, to the point he can’t afford a car—left alone in a room full of argon with a sample that might kill him, while all the indispensable guys who put him there stood on the other side of the glass and watched. Shoved screaming into a mission that would kill him. And then, then this bonkers little alien who just met him gladly trades years off his life (via extended return mission) to save him. Runs burning through deadly air to keep him from dying. Chooses finally to weave their lives together forever and recreate Grace’s best dreams of Earth to make him happy. No wonder Grace told Rocky he doesn’t have to get him a gift, he’s given him everything. To one little spider guy, Grace is irreplaceable. That’s love.

the project hail mary universe is one of the only ones out there where orpheus turning around actually saved eurydice btw

[edgebug]

it means so much to me that rocky's lead puppeteer james ortiz got to voice him and got like. full billing right next to ryan gosling in the opening credits. and he's gotten to do interviews and red carpet appearances and talk about puppetry and it's all being taken so seriously just like he's any other type of actor. gonna make me cry fr. like they could have gotten some famous person to be rocky's voice to try and pull more star power but. they went with the guy who acted him. and like of course they did. like there he is. how could they do anything else. he's right there and he's perfect

[dinodoggie]

Heres some more Project Hail Mary comics, just for fun!

Its a long way to Erid so like they got alot of time to do whatever, i think theyd have to talk about pokemon at SOME point at least! XD

i hope you enjoy, and have an AWESOME day!!!

So, unlike Eridians, we discovered fire very early on and so our civilization kinda grew up with combustion right? We've had thousands of years to normalize it and get comfortable with the idea of using it casually for warmth or cooking etc.

In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.

> Be me. Rocky the Eridian cosmonaut

> Tell Grace about Eridian space elevator design made out of Xenonite. Grace very impressed, says humans only dream about making space elevator.

> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.

> Grace explains Humans strapped other Humans on top of Fire-Explodatron-9000 machines made out of weak human metal, basically Eridian cardboard, then shot them into orbit. Grace say the fire it makes is quite pretty to look at
