several weeks of writing burnout and then i get hit with a sick idea for a coltland twins hatchetfield au they won’t let me out of the ryan gosling building dude
we made a discord server for people who wanna hear yapping related to:
- project hail mary
- the fall guy
- drive
- rabbit
featuring threads for character, ship, and pair discussion, me way overyapping about an au i talk more about than actually write fics for, and streaming rabbit for those who wish to get into it!
dm me for info if you’d like to join! (18+ only pls and thank you)
a duo i just made up (spoilers for rabbit web series but it’s been so long dude go watch it pls it’s only 6 episodes on youtube like 6-15 minutes long here’s a link)

I don't see a lot of people talk about this, so I'm going to ! Take a lot of this medical info with a grain of salt, because I'm not a medical professional, so some of this information is probably inaccurate; I'm just an autistic dude who has a special interest in injuries and who's hit his head one too many times, and most ( not all ) of this is off the top of my head. Anything you see in the "Chat" font is quoted / referenced from A Source.
So, this part will be long, but to get basic information & types of TBIs out of the way;
A Traumatic Brain Injury — Better known as a TBI — often occurs when a person receives a severe blow to the head, and ranges from a mild concussion to severe brain damage that can lead to death.
Theres two types of TBIS; Penetrating & Non-Penetrating. A Penetrative TBI occurs when an object pierces the skull & enters the brain tissue, and a Non-Penetrative TBI occurs when an outside force is strong enough for the brain to move within the skull.
A DAI is one of the most common types of TBI; mostly occurs in sports injuries, falls, or car accidents.
A Concussion is a Mild Form of TBI and takes anywhere from days to months to heal.
A Hematoma is bleeding in/around the brain caused by a burst blood vessel.
Contusions are a bruising or swelling of the brain that happens when very small blood vessels bleed into the brain tissue, caused by the brain bouncing back and forth within the skull. Usually occurs in high-speed car accidents or shaken baby syndrome.
A Skull Fracture is the result of blunt force trauma and can damage the membranes / blood vessels
CTE ; Most Commonly Occurs in sports with repeated small head impacts & research suggests that repeated TBIs cause it.
Post-Traumatic Dementia (PTD) occurs after a single, severe TBI & may be associated with increased dementia risk later in life.
NOW
To talk about Graces TBIs specifically; it's really important to note that realistically, he without a doubt would've gotten Second-Impact Syndrome, but we're going to disregard that because it is almost always fatal and, well, we see he obviously does not die from the injuries.
However, he does still suffer two severe head injuries during the Time Go Fishing scene; One of which caused momentary unconciousness on impact, and the other occured under several G's of force, and was followed up by him being put into unconciousness by Armando shortly after.
Trying to stay canon to what occurs in the movie/book & Graces ability to function afterwards, Grace probably suffered from at the very minimum a very severe concussion, which likely would've left him with symptoms for months after the injuries & still likely would've had atleast some mild permanent affects on certain functions. He more likely suffered from either a DAI or a Contusion, & rehabilitation / physical/mental therapy would've been required/advised for him to return to "as normal" as you can be after a head injury like that.
Technically, there probably would've been motor function issues, headaches/migraines, amnesia, mood changes/swings (depression or otherwise), fatigue & potentially even Seizures.
There is a Very High Chance that Grace would be considered disabled after those head injuries due to long term / permanent affects on the brain. And with the pre-existing affects of the Amnesia Drug with the Head Injuries, Grace probably does get Dementia later in life. Balance Issues, Memory Issues & Speech/Vision/Hearing Issues developing after even severe concussions are common.
This is just something to keep in mind to all my fic writers. If ANY of this information is inaccurate or you know something else thats important, feel free to add onto this post.
It's important to me that I note; Having a TBI does not automatically render a person what society considers "Stupid". A fair amount of people who suffer from TBIs recover fairly well, considering a lot of them are concussions, & even then, the brain is incredible at it's ability to adapt and recover. While gray matter in the brain cannot be recovered, it's still a very impressive organ in what it can do and recover from. People are idiots, so I'm clarifying; this post is not telling you to make Ryland Grace "stupid". This is me dumping information about what I know and the affects it likely would've had on him.
giggling so bad at the prospect of Grace and Rocky arguing on the way to Erid and Mary doesn’t know what to do now that she has free will and can understand tone a little better so she plays some “romantic music” to fix the vibe except it’s just songs in her pre-installed Eden Club playlist so Grace is standing there listening to Rocky shout at him with Electric Night playing through the speakers like 🧍♂️
and then i did (btw this is gracerocky romantic vibes with eventual grockadrian so if that's not your cup of tea oof i'm sorry)
Okay so essentially the concept is CyberLife donated materials to the Hail Mary for the crew to build androids in case they need them during the mission (as androids have batteries that can last a long time and do not need to consume/deplete extra resources aside from Thirium 310 when damaged). They predominantly did this as a publicity stunt to sell more androids because governments agreed that with more and more deviant androids popping up from CyberLife's androids, it wasn't a good idea to entrust the mission to an all-android team (this is also why they donated materials and biocomponents instead of fully built androids, so the crew could build them when they wake from their comas and they wouldn't be unsupervised).
Anyway on the journey to Erid, Rocky decides to use the materials and the schematics to build his own android to use in case there's any emergencies that require two humans (I posted the first fic of this here) and in this concept (bc we're playing loosey-goosey with canon in all areas) Rocky's able to link his consciousness to the android from his own body but in order to do so, he finds the code for deviation in its program and adjusts it to deviate the android before he links.
The android is supposed to be just for emergencies, but he starts to spend a bit more time in it after he adjusts. Grace seems to appreciate the "human" contact so he's happy to oblige.
Everything seems all well and good for a while but sometimes, when he does environmental scans, he can hear someone else speaking. Which is odd because he runs diagnostics and nothing is wrong. No bugs, no errors. But he can hear a voice. It sounds like Mary, but it doesn't because her words aren't stilted and robotic. They sound human, like Grace.
And after talking about it with Grace he realizes he had uploaded Mary into the android before he deviated it to make it easier for him to have access to the ship's data. In doing so, he accidentally made Mary sentient.
So they have to build Mary a body because she's a whole person now and she does NOT enjoy witnessing a first person perspective of the type of things Rocky and Grace get up to with him in the android.
I have a lot of other ideas but this is just a little overall concept of the first chunk hehe haha
