Movie about a depressed and rather morbid autistic man planning to commit suicide and picking up a number of odd jobs in an effort to raise enough money to meticulously plan and prepay for his funeral so his mother doesn’t have to worry about it after he is gone. He begins to connect with people and enjoy life for the first time while working part time as a greeter in the funeral home, helping an eccentric old lady organize her basement, walking 7 dogs and maintaining a feral cat colony for a guy with a broken foot, playing a number of bit parts in local ads and stocking the shelves at the convenience store at night. In the end, he has befriended many of his neighbors and he decides he does not want to die and goes back to school to become a funeral director instead.
He is popular at his funeral home gig because he keeps accidentally saying things that are very reassuring and death positive. Because he wants to die. He eventually donates his funeral fund to the old lady’s granddaughter after her sudden death so she does not have to sell her grandmother’s prized possessions to pay for her funeral.
The old lady gifts him one of her ceramic cats at the beginning of the film which he reluctantly accepts out of politeness. Near the end of the film, he adopts a friendly cat from the cat colony that looks remarkably like the ceramic cat and names it after her, signaling his commitment to surviving and caring for his cat the way the old woman lived for her ceramic collection.
and so javert you see it’s true this man bears no more guilt than you. who am i?

GUYS GUYS GUYS IM WATCHING THE MAKING OF PROJECT HAIL MARY AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE COMMENTING ON THE PROCESS JUST SAID "Project Hail Mary is answering the question.... can adult men make friends if the universe is depending on it" THATS FUCKING INSANE AND HILARIOUS THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE SELF-IMPOSED MALE ISOLATION ELEMENTS DIRECTLY IN AN OFFICIAL INTERVEIW. IM GOING TO FUCKING DIE

Elaborating more on why I find this so striking: so we all know that Weir kind of sucks. And I think most of us are aware that the PHM novel was intended as Weir's self-insert story, about a man who is tragically misunderstood and betrayed by an Earth which doesn't value him, and makes an idealised male friendship among the stars and leaves Earth forever. And how, due to Weir's complete lack of self-awareness, the story instead becomes the story of a man who is chronically unable to recognise when people value him, and deliberately self-isolates and shields himself from his own lonliness with logic. I think we all know this.
But building on this, the two directors of the PHM movie saw this read, prioritised it over Weir's intended read as both more accurate and more compelling, and built the movie around that read as a basis. Particularly striking to me is a moment from an interveiw about the movie's score. One of the directors says that, intially, they tried ominous and scary music to accompany Grace waking up on the ship, but it didn't feel right. So they instead alighted on a piece of music that said, in the director's words: "Poor thing. He's going to be alright. He just doesn't know it yet."
This quote is hugely important to me, because it underpins the dialogue between the book and the movie, and can almost be interpreted as a direct dialogue between Weir and the directors. Weir writes a book that says: here is the world. It rejects me, and I don't feel valued. I deserve better than this, and instead of examining why, I choose to externalise the blame. And the director, another man, but one with a more healthy mindset, looks at this worldveiw that Weir has presented to him and says "poor thing. you're going to be alright."
So this is why saying "Project Hail Mary is answering the question…. can adult men make friends if the universe is depending on it" is funny to me: because it's acknowledging that dialogue between them in a very explicit way that leaves little room for interpretation. It's acknowledging that this is about adult men having issues with making friends and forging emotional connections, due to their own self-imposed limitations, and thereby also acknowledging that Weir has these limitations. It's very bold. And the funniest thing is, for it to have made it into the cut, it must've flown completely over Weir's head.
"we detected a mature post" yeah I'm in my 30s
the reason they never showed us Gus being injured (at least majorly) is because Shawn, who’s already possessive and clingy in his normal state, would become so much worse
Gus could be like “it happened a month ago Shawn! The injury wasn’t that serious, I’ve been free to go back to work since last week, and my doctor says I can even partake in strenuous exercise”
And Shawn will still be hovering over him 24/7 like some Shinigami
Shawn basically had him on house arrest during Gus’s recovery but near the end when he’s fine he seems to let his guard down and sleeps in late so Gus thinks it’ll be the perfect opportunity to go out and drive, maybe pick up some coffee and breakfast and when he gets in the car Shawn is already there in the backseat like some serial killer

The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.
Get a fucking WEBSITE. It can be just a static landing page with the relevant information. But get off the metaverse!
someone sent me an anon ask about rocky meeting eva and i tried to post it not once but twice and tumblr ate it both times so now im just regular posting it here
i think ryland would grow to understand stratt’s choice with time, and even thank her logic of it because it led to his meeting of rocky, but i dont think he’d ever really forgive her for what she did to him
(Ryland had to prep rocky before they touched down to meet Stratt so he wouldnt charge her at first sight)
thank you for the request :o)
mm you’re being such an okay boy for daddy. could be better could be worse. you will receive neither reward nor punishment for your forgettable behavior. that’s my okay boy, keep doing whatever …
The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.
A humble snubnose eelpout on its way to the whale fall buffet when some nearby humans give it a quick, unintrusive study:
I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!
Grace falls asleep on his biodome beach and learns that the Eridian scientists who made his false sun replicated Sol a little too well because he woke up with a sunburn.
Rocky is concerned. Grace’s skin is the wrong texture and temperature, question? What happened? Is Grace sick???
And Grace has to go, “no I was just dumb, it’s just a sunburn.”
“Sun burned Grace, question? How??”
“Yeah, sort of. I mean, it’s not the same as a burn exactly, it’s…”
And then he has to pause and say, “Okay. Rocky. I will explain to you what a sunburn is and what causes it. But first I want to promise you that I am okay and I am not going to die, and you have to promise not to freak out.”
Being 30 is fun. I was discussing anime with a teen at work and asked her how much of bnha she had watched. She had trouble answering and wasn't sure how to approach it. I said "better question was who was your husbando" and she turned bright red before mumbling an answer. They never expect me to know how deep their love of anime boys runs....
One time she said she used to be into BL and another employee down the hall asked what BL was and I yelled back "ITS YAOI" which reduced the teen to yelling "ITS SOFTCORE! SOFT CORE!!" So I yelled back "ITS SOFTCORE YAOI" anyway I get why dads are like that now
