For my English speaking people

the lines repeat twice and vaguely translate to:

"I want the sea between me and my past. The sea between me and everything that happened"

PHM yap sesh re: Grace and his relationships pre-launch

in this context i'm not strictly referring to romantic relationships (they threw that aroace into outerspace) because that's limiting and doesn't leave room for nuanced relationships. okay? okay.

(also just as an aside but this is just how i feel about things, you can hc whatever you want, let's all be nice ^^)

Eva Stratt: I think the two of them were vastly on good terms and started weirdly blurring the lines of professionalism and casual friendship after awhile, to a point that the other members of the PHM team would comment on it and they'd be like 'what are you even talking about, we are Coworkers' but- Coworkers don't steal sips of coffee out of each others' cups when the other one isn't looking or lean on each other half-asleep during meetings. That behavior all stopped once Stratt decided he would be the one going on the mission, very abruptly, and Grace was left panicking and wondering if he'd done something wrong before she finally told him. It left him with a lot of confusing thoughts about her after he woke up from the coma and he never got the closure he needed.

Yáo Li-Jie: Grace absolutely looked up to Yao once they started working together, he admired the man's bravery and some small part of him wished that *he* could be that brave. Might've even regarded him in a fatherly sort of way, but Grace wouldn't admit that if you had a gun to his head.

Olesya Ilyukhina: Little sister energy! They were closer than anyone expected them to get and when Grace got bored and restless, Olesya would be there with vodka and a devious prank to pull on the others. No one but the two of them know how six chickens got onto the Vat, and Grace can't remember the incident anymore so the details died with her.

Martin Dubois and Annie Shapiro: They weren't particularly close, but Shapiro and Dubois separately invited Grace to join them in the broom closet on more than one occasion and he politely declined. They both teased him for how red his ears got and started saying dirty things around him just for that reaction. No harm done, but them constantly banging on any vaguely horizontal surface icked Grace out a little.

Carl: They were bros for sure, anytime Grace wasn't being dragged off to work on something or running around trying to keep people from doing something stupid, he could be found sitting in ridiculous positions talking to Carl with a bag of sour skittles seemingly produced out of thin air. Grace came to associate the skittles with Carl so them hanging out tended to have a positive effect on his anxiety, and he might've cried a little on the Mary when he found a bag of skittles tucked into his duffle with a sticky note on it that said "Emergency stash--C"

i feel like there's a severe lack of Healymarch where March hurts himself in some spectacular fashion and whines until Healy takes care of him (whether because Healy is madly in love with this accident-prone moron or just to shut him up, dealer's choice)

i'm very normal about Holland March being a pathetic little wet rag of a man that wants to be babied when he has a boo-boo

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

Remaining time: 1 day 2 hours

(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)

Love that Ryland Grace is the opposite of so many male protagonist "heroes" in media and yet he's still so incredibly brave, resilient, and strong. That flimsy little science teacher saves the day.

But he also,

Throws fits when things don't go his way. Not a "I'm a bad bitch" destroying everything-type fit, but tossing a trash can, breaking a screen-type fit.

Cries. A lot.

Pleads. He begs.

Doesn't answer the call to action.

Shows weakness. Being a coward and being fearful are two things he defines himself with.

Doesn't end up with the girl. In fact, that girl isn't even interested and he isn't, either.

Cherishes friendship over a romantic plot or something stereotypically brave like, "I'm going to save Rocky so I can save his world." No, he wants to save his friend, first and foremost.

Squeaks. He squeals. He screams, loudly and very high pitched. He whines. He complains. He physically struggles to open a jar. He's clumsy as hell. He makes some of the least graceful noises one can make.

Is not afraid to be the primitive species lowkey.

I love him and everything he stands for as a male protagonist. Men need to know that they can be just like Ryland Grace and still be just as much of a hero and a man.
