Project Hail Mary // Incorrect quotes 3/?

Love that the ultimate fantasy of Project Hail Mary is like… what if you were enough. What if just being you, and not anyone else, was enough?

Forget about being valued because you're the Only Man For The Job, or because you're exceptionally brave, or smart, or even lucky. That's a poisoned chalice.

What if there were somebody— a whole planet of somebodies— for whom being a middle school science teacher who likes the beach and is fundamentally kind was actually the most important thing in the world? What if you didn't have to worry about being the hero in the end? What if you could just be you?

I think it would be funny if most of Grace's eridian students went to him and asked for earth pronoun designations instead of picking for themselves, because they think it's cool to get word-gifts from the coolest teacher in the galaxy

and grace is trying so hard to not accidentally be sexist or assign gender roles to a monogendered species, so like, trying hard not to call someone he/him just because they like sports, or she/her just because they seem caring, or whatever. and he's having a hard time about it because he's like oh man why am I assigning the pronouns I'm assigning, i hope I'm not bringing any of my biases into this. just absolutely eating himself up over it

he tries to fix this by starting to roll a die, or throw darts at a dartboard, but his students immediately throw a fit because the point of the word-gifts is that they are specific, picked deliberately for them, right? and grace tries to explain gender bias and so on, but it becomes clear these kids could genuinely not give less of a shit, they just want to know what their AGAG (assigned gender at grace) is, alright? why is this so hard for him to understand??

eventually grace comes to the conclusion that he's on a different planet, and severely overthinking this, and that his kids really just are having fun--they really don't see the grace-given pronouns as categorization, he figures they see them as something more akin to astrology. or an eridian tiktok trend. when grace learns they call the assigning a word-gift he probably cries tbh

"teacher grace!!! what my pronoun question???"

"hmm. getting big they/them vibes off you"

"HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. THANK"

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about how Rocky might react to Grace’s name being the equivalent of “mercy.”

And while it’s true that sometimes the two words are used interchangeably, I think it would be even more interesting if their understanding of each other’s languages eventually improved to the point where the subtle differences in the connotations of “grace” and “mercy” could actually be appreciated.

“Mercy” is most often is used when someone deserves a punishment or other consequence, but they are spared by someone in a position of power, who chooses to withhold the punishment that would otherwise be just.

“Grace” usually refers to when an undeserving person receives something good (a gift or help or kindness) that is bestowed upon them by some other benevolent person or force.

The narrative frames Grace — the person himself — as a gift to humanity. Earth quite literally did not deserve him.

[Description: a looping bouncy animation of grace and Rocky from project hail mary. Grace throws himself onto rocky for a hug, smiling and nuzzling his face to the top of Rocky's xenonite covered carapace. Rocky brings a claw up to ruffle Grace's hair and grace throws himself even more on top of rocky, rocky wrapping his arms around grace. End description.]
