My Singular Brain Cell by DemocritusRadon

Okay but Mark Watney who survives for a year and a half on Mars completely alone and gets to come home because the entire world chose to put everything aside to save him watching the Hail Mary video logs when they come back to Earth and watching the world do nothing?

Mark Watney watching Ryland Grace have to grapple with the fact that he will die and there is no amount of quick thinking or human help that can save him?

Mark Watney finding out Grace didn't volunteer to go to space and was instead sent as a sacrifice so the rest of them could live and getting fucking pissed on his behalf?

Mark Watney who knows what it is to starve on a foreign planet doing the math about Grace's remaining food supply when he decides to go back to save Rocky?

Mark Watney who realistically knows that there is nothing that can be done but who keeps watching the information come out about a middle school teacher who was probably going to die alone in space and not being able to stop thinking about it?

Mark Watney who had to be asked to stop proposing rescue missions because even if they could get funded, there was very little hope that Grace would still be alive even if they got to him?

Mark Watney with survivors guilt for a mission that he wasn't even on?

Mark Watney asking why me but not him?

I know they're not in the same universe and I know the timelines don't line up but just go with me here.

#he leaves a twenty minute voicemail on stratt's phone that basically amounts to 'DID YOU GIVE HIM THE FUCKING POTATOES OR NOT'#sorry to bring the Funny to this sad post but #potatoes.#mark watney is always the potatoes

Grace: *does something*

Rocky: "why Grace so 🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Question."

Grace: "Excuse me buddy?"

Rocky: "...🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Hmm. Need word."

Grace: "...what does it mean?"

Rocky: "Meant add strength to word. But some Eridians think also .....rude"

Grace: "So a swear word. I'm not giving you the human word for that."

Rocky: "Why not. Question."

Grace: "Because this human thinks they are rude too."

Rocky: "Do not be little 🎶🎶🎶 Grace. Give Rocky human swear word."

#american girl kiersten had a best friend i THINK named Marta who died of cholera #i was probably 6 when i read that maybe 7 #and it changed something fundamental in me #THIS is what felt real to me #not cute little stories where a kid saves the day and everyone is happy but instead a prepubescent girl has to live with her bff dying #after that i was touched ever more deeply by stories that contained deaths #bridge to terebithia jumps to mind immediately #tuck everlasting too SORT of #it's been 30ish years since i read that book and i still remember the end #(but also when i was uhhh 4 or 5 i watched Lion King in theaters and cried at mufasa's death but i dont think that changed anything #fundamental in me. it just made me sad.)

✦ Grace Rocky Save Stars ✦

Across the vastness of space, against all odds, the most unlikely of souls find each other's savior and hero.

I'm so emotional over these two..

i'm your only friend (realizes that's statistically unlikely) i'm not your only friend (considers my positive qualities) but i'm a little glowing friend (suddenly gets cold feet) but really i'm not actually your friend (remembers to be confident in relationships) but i am

Dont get me wrong Ted Lasso is my favorite character ever and I would watch 12 hours of him just going about his day. That being said I loooove how he becomes less integral to the conflict resolution of each episode as the series goes on. I think thats handled SO beautifully. Something something the compounding effects of kindness. Because at the end of the show day

Its Beard that extends the olive branch to Nate

It's Keeley and Rebecca who are always there for each other

It's Roy that hugs Jamie after his Dad yells at him

It's Jamie that teaches Roy how to ride a bike

It's Trent Crimm that comforts Collin in Amsterdam

And so many other examples of people helping other people in ways that Ted cant/couldn't but he's still the reason the potential inside all of them was fully realized
