ok i gotta complain rq

I mentioned that i’m never gonna date anyone (im aroace) and my parents were like “you can’t say absolutes like that at your age like you never know!” and i asked whether they’d say the same thing if i was lesbian and said “i’m never going to date a man” and my dad couldn’t answer and my mom said “that’s not the same thing”

#dumbass logic bro #it is in fact the same #aroace #aromantic #asexual

I showed my friend Iron Lung last night and we talked a lot about how the movie has themes talking about the injustice of the criminal justice system and how we dehumanize and strip down criminals, especially ones where their crimes are more a product of their environment and less a reflection of who that person actually is.

Already an interesting conversation on it's own that deserves it's own essay, but I wanted to sorta copy and paste something I said to her in regards to how that parallels PHM in a way that I just SUPER latched onto.

Because Grace, like Simon, is seen as the most valuable asset but in a way that disregards his humanity. Simon is the person that will help gain resources to help the last of the human race, but it's because he's a criminal so if he dies in the sub who gives a shit. Grace is the scientist who knows the most about astrophage that will help the human race, but he also - from everyone else's point of view - has nothing to tie him to Earth so who gives a shit if we launch him into space. By neither of them meeting the ideal expectations of their societies, they're seen as valuable in a way that also makes them disposable. It's fine to sacrifice their lives for everyone elses because they're more valuable dying for a cause than living with the rest of us.

And what's also insane about the parallels is that most stories that touch on those themes often has it where dying for a cause is a GOOD thing. You're a hero if you die for a cause. Dying for a cause is beautiful, idealistic. In IL and PHM? Dying for a cause is a tragedy. Dying for cause is seen as murder and dehumanizing. Simon cries "you sent me down here to die and you don't even know my name?" Grace (in the book) cries "you're murdering me! don't send me to die, please!" And it's just so fascinating to me how both these movies say the same thing in different ways: that Grace and Simon didn't deserve this. Maybe it led them to confront themselves, their fears, and their flaws. But it should never have been at the expense of their own lives.

corvin-ito

iron lung / project hail mary crossover where simon gets isekai'ed onto the hail mary but like. Before ryland grace has woken up from his coma. two guys in space who are very confused about it but for like slightly different reasons

also something involving the whole, "what's more likely? That every planet and star disappeared, or that a few space stations disappeared? Isn’t it easier to believe that they’re still there wondering where all of us went?" line from the movie, like maybe it really was more likely that a couple of space stations disapeared into a different universe, and then one guy got sent elsewhere again,

not automatically necessarily both of these in the same thing but like it would be neat to see 'hey maybe that crazy idea of the space stations being the one to disappear was right'. in contrast to just pure denial of the stars not being gone (nothin wrong with that but i like variety) simon being like the stars are gone. its just dead light, grace goin. ohhh no oh no no no. [panic-edly doing math about it] well. hold on. if they were GONE we couldnt see Tau Ceti. it's too close, the light would be gone by now (or something)

idk have them figure shit out together. it would be fun

ryland grace spends like a whole day convinced that this universe has a colony on mars, when in reality no ones even been ON mars yet. he talks about said not-real mars colony in one of his video logs and when eva stratt gets them shes like. what the fuck is he talking about. where did this come from and then simon shows up in a different log and evas like where did *that guy* come from? and grace just doesnt acknowledge him as abnormal, ryland grace has just no reason to suspect simons from a different universe for a really long amount of time
