they don’t even care that it’s an alien bc they’re so relieved. “why rocky adrian so single, question? lonely lonely lonely bad bad bad”

[ace-past04]

Allow me to add a couple hilarious layers to this. Polyamory AND platonic mates are the norm on Erid and it's actually the intensity of rocky and adrian's relationship to scare away all potential third mates (they are obsessed with each other and it's seen as "too much"). Insert aroace grace discovering this only after being added officially to the polycule and stars laughing so hard he's falling off his chair, bc what eridians find scary is actually very normal for hunan standards but it's funny that the aliens are doing the human way and grace is the more traditionally eridian one instead

My favorite quirk of American English is that since we're constantly exaggerating, sometimes it's more intense to say something slightly less intense. Because like, it means you actually thought about it.

"you look great!" - normal. Anyone could say this. Could be true or could just be lying to be nice. Very normal expected thing to say to someone

"you look good." - gay as hell thing to say to someone.

I need grace explaining a gag reflex to Rocky asap.

Grace, nauseous af and desperate: imma make myself throw up

Rocky: what do you mean question?

Grace, fingers already in his throat: no time to explain

Rocky, in absolute horror: DISGUST DISGUST DISGUST. WHY HUMANS HAVE THROW UP BUTTON QUESTION?

[emryses]

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.

I'm re-listening to Project Hail Mary, and I cannot get that tumblr post out of my head where its talking about the whole thing from Rocky's point of view. You know the one, it's like 'you go into space with your most advanced tech, spend 50 years alone, and then one day a dog in a trashcan shows up. It can't do 2+2 but it knows how the universe started'

Like, this mindset makes everything that happens in the story absolutely hilarious, in particular the whole first interactions bit.

From Rocky's point of view he sent a simple model of the local star systems to indicate where he was from hoping these new creatures would indicate where they were from. He put it in a protective cylinder and sent it over to the ship. Something enormous climbs out of a hole in the side of their ship... Wait, did one of the creature go OUTSIDE its ship in a a god damn plastic bag just to catch it??? I better aim it at where it came out of so it doesn't do that again. Then when the cylinder gets back, the creatures have indicated where they're from by attaching a lollypop stick with chewinggum to the model... which has mostly fallen off in the heat. Also they put distilled fire in the cylinder???

The creature then climbs outside its ship, again, chiseles a lump off its ship with a hammer and throws it at you so it can send you a sample so you can join to it and... its made of thin sheets of soft lead???

Then on finally talking to this large creature you realise it's incredibly delicate like a jellyfish, so god damn stupid, has essentially no memory, and cant do basic maths. And you're supposed to be saving your entire civilisation with this squishy idiot. But then a while later it turns around and explains relativistic time dilation and background radiation like its something you should have figured out already.

Ive heard multiple people describing Rocky seeing Grace like the equivalent of a dog, but he's really more like a three and a half year old blind jellyfish. Its living in a frozen semi-vacuum of highly explosive gas, can't remember anything, needs to nap constantly or it becomes noticeably more stupid, and it's here to save the world.

Its just such a delightful addition to hold in the back of your mind when reading the book.

imagine if grace has gone ahead and sent a radio message to earth right when he woke up

so like two decades after launch, stratt gets a call that's just grace being like

and then two months later the beetles arrive and he's fine

day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

[rockshitty]

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”

I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger
