red string of fate 🌍💫🪐

close ups (these guys are both less than 1 inch tall)

BONUS: the og version of this piece before the petrova line stitch broke irreparably and forced me to tear the entire thing out 🥲

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)

“He continued. "Okay, listen to me, Naomi. You're going to be all right. You called exactly the right place, and you're speaking to exactly the right person. You have some excellent instincts, and they've served you well so far. Now it's time to trust somebody else. I'm on my way there, and I know what it takes to resolve this situation. There are several of us who have encountered this before, and we've planned for a situation where we might have to deal with it again. I'm going to be there in-" he looked at Trini. "Less than an hour," she said. He spoke back into the phone. "A little over an hour. Stay right where you are. Don't open the door. Don't call anyone else. Not even Fort Belvoir. The woman who put us in touch will call you every ten minutes. Speak only to her or me. Don't pick up your phone again unless it rings. Do you understand?" "What are you going to do?" "Tell me you understand." "I understand." "Who should you call?" "Nobody. You'll call me every ten." "There you go. A-plus. Keep Travis calm, he sounds like the type who might want to try and leave. Don't let him." "The deer exploded." "I know, some crazy shit, right? I'll tell you all about it when I see you. You're going to be fine. One hour." ”

seriously. what the heck did daniel pemberton put in that score?? the second "ryland grace, cognition assesment" starts playing, i'm uncontrollably sobbing...a complete mess...

I love how so much of the sounds track sounds like ambient noises from the ship mixed with orchestral/choir sounds, and how it echos. Even though the Hail Mary is so small, and thyre in space where there is no sounds, so so much of the sound track ECHOS.

Time Go Fishing, though, I'm pretty sure he put Olesya heroin in that. Oh my GOD Time Go Fishing hits like nothing else I've ever heard.

It's been said before by smarter people that Project Hail Mary (the movie in particular) doesn't have a villain, not even the astrophage, which is just an organism that evolved to live a certain way.

Both elements that could be termed antagonistic, Eva Stratt and the astrophage, are shown at their most beautiful and emotionally affecting back to back, in the sequence going from "Sign of the Times" to "A Moment".

Eva sings and connects the sadness of their situation and the sacrifice of the astronauts to an element of hope and perseverance. Ryland is transfixed, happy, comforted.

The Petrova line at Adrian is so devastatingly beautiful to behold that Ryland spins to bask in it. The music swells as if in celebration. He is moved to have Rocky name the planet for love and devotion.

Both of these elements are beautiful. Their nature or position contains properties that make them dangerous. Eva will force Ryland on the mission. Astrophage is literally killing the Earth and and the fuel leak will almost kill Rocky and Grace.

But nevertheless, the movie insists, they are beautiful.

Astrophage provides the fuel that powers them. Eva's choice saves two planets down the line.

Nothing is simple. There are no villains here. There is pain. But there is also beauty. And if you keep going, life.

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)

rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

Rocky's POV

[dandewrite]

never not thinking about that one shot where it looks like grace is wearing the miniature model of 40 eridani as a ring while he begs for rocky to wake up because he doesn't know how he'll get the taumeoba to erid if he doesn't

[dandewrite]

the implications make me ill

writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 4 days 23 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

book Rocky is so hilarious because he is 100% done with grace’s shit all the time and yet he loves him so much

Like Rocky going “we’re always going to use earth units. Because your STUPID little brain can’t convert quick enough. So I taught myself the conversions in one minute just out of convenience. Because I love talking to you. Stupid.”
