needy little rock

I think this ship (spaceship) is really funny

Okay, so there's a scene in Project Hail Mary (book) not long after Grace and Rocky meet when Grace leaves to sleep while Rocky is absent from their tunnel and leaves the amount of time he'll be gone taped to the wall between them in popsicle sticks. Grace then oversleeps and is gone more than two hours longer than he said he would be. He wakes up and Rocky is tapping on their divider wall loud enough to be heard in the crew quarters and he's very upset when Grace reappears, hitting the wall and the numbers and pointing to his clock and shaking his fist. And the first time I heard that I went "lil guy why are you so impatient" but after hearing the rest of his story it hit me:

Rocky lost his entire crew to an unknown illness and has been alone in space for forty six years. Lil guy wasn't impatient he was freaking frantic that something had happened to the only other being he'd met in the past fifty years and relieved and understandably worked up when Grace reappeared and was just fine but oh my word, can you imagine? You've been alone for so long and you don't even know what killed your crew or why you survived and you finally, finally meet another person and they leave you a note for when they're gonna be back AND THEN THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON TIME?! where are they question?! are they okay question?!

And all you can do to ask, "hey are you okay over there question?!" is bang on the wall between your two ships and HOPE that this person you met didn't just die or have a horrible accident. FOR TWO HOURS. Headcanon that those two hours were when Rocky came up with the idea for the zenonite ball so he could come into the Hail Mary because he HAD to be able to make sure Grace was okay, even before they were friends, he could not lose anybody else, even this weird alien he just met, this is the first time he's had HOPE in almost FIFTY YEARS. It's no wonder he insists on watching Grace sleep as soon as they have the words for it. ;-;

Being an asexual with food sensitivities is one of the worst crimes you can commit in social situations. Every interaction is like no I don't like it. No I haven't tried it like that, but I think I get the idea. No I'm not saying there's something wrong with it, I just don't like it. Seriously, me not liking it doesn't stop you from liking it. I'm not trying to criticize your enjoyment. Like, this really doesn't affect you. No I don't think I should just try it. I think being pressured to try it makes it worse actually...Yeah I've survived without it so far but thanks for the concern.

Also on windows 10!! go to typing settings- how ai has helped you- typing insights-off

[tenebrare]

People install LTS versions if you insist having windows instead linux. They cannot put AI or enable its features without admin controls on LTS licenses because its the OS used within locations like hospitals. NEVER install any windows version that is not LTS or its derivative. They have not once even attempted to put on my win 10. And LTS comes without any bloat. Repeat after me: Windows 11 LTSC in is the best version of Windows 11 without Copilot, AI and other bloat

Also Install Tiny Wall or similar and just kill off any random secret call out from your PC. You have no idea how many sneaky programs call god-knows-where from your desktop. Yours, User of win 10 LTS with official Microsoft support least 1 more year (as they keep extending this and rumor is even 2 more years?!). PS! If you live within EU and EEA you can request Microsoft official stores to make this license available for purchase. As it is so ruled by some sort of court ruling. If they claim otherwise, just initiate some customer service thing (i.e. entities that offer initial [and free] review in Brussels) For people outside EU and EEA, Microsoft might claim they do not sell to home users. Well... you know what to do then . *cough*

finished cuddle pile

[redstonedust]

the problem with movie remakes is that they always remake something that was already good, meaning at worst you ruin it and at best your remake is largely redundant. to make a truly good remake you need to start with source material that is absolute dogwater. ignore the pull of nostalgia. redeem the sins of moviemaking past.

Project Hail Mary if Yao and Olesya had survived the trip and found Rocky along with Grace

[aliorsboxostuff]

Simon cuddling in the arms of Ryan Gosling or whatever markiplier said

(yes, it has breached containment)

[echord]

bloodymary is a plague to which none of us are immune. including me, apparently

[vv0812]

I like to think that between Grace and Simon, Grace is the big spoon and Simon the small one.

I think that Grace likes the contact, but he can’t deal with the feeling of breathing, or nothing really, against his neck, because it reminds him of the needle they used to drug him (I’m half sure that they picked him in the neck, but if I’m wrong lets say it is another of my headcanons.)

Simon likes the feeling of been hug, Grace’s contact and soft breathing against him remind him that he is out of the submarine, that he is safe and that this is not an hallucination.

Extra + Rocky and Adrian

If Rocky and/or Adrian are there ( to watch them sleep of course, these human doesn’t know how to watch each other sleep, don’t you see? They BOTH fall sleep, reckless humans), they sleep between them and Grace and Simon curl against them.

[eliot-thehitman]

Huge fan of the Adrian finds Simon au.

I’d like to think that they found Simons sub washed up while the eridians were building Graces dome. The eridians have to talk to Rocky through radio because at this point Graces is too weak to be anywhere but the Hail Marys medbay due to starvation. So Rocky has to do his best to explain to the edridians on how to help Simon through coms. Adrian ends up being the first eridian Simon sees and basically imprints on them. While the eridians havent figured out how to make their own tts system yet they can make a communication board. Eventually the hail mary reaches eridini which by then has the dome ready, Simon already living in it.

Ugh these traumatised gays and sentient rocks make me so i’ll.
