Not lovers or friends but a secret third thing (they play Catan together and Stratt pretends she's not preparing Grace for a one way trip to space)

waitwaitwaitwaitwait I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab and Cutie except it's v!apo singing to v!cherri

"But I'll be close behind" because they're going to die together. Because Apo is more than happy to die when Cherri dies. Because she will follow them into the dark.

"The time for sleep is now but it's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other again soon in the blackest of rooms" because Cherri is crying quietly when Apo says goodbye but Apo tells her she doesn't need to cry because they'll see each other again in a few minutes, just not in this life. 'I'll see you in a second' or something like that. i need a minute

I believe that Apo and Cherri would be up for polyamory, but literally all of Oakhurst just fumbled Apple so hard by not treating her like a genuine person. Many traumatised oakhurstians could have a) scored not one but two bad bitches and b) gone home to a warm place full of laughter and love. But nooooo, she had to be perfect or she was a monster. Never mind that not a single other person is held to the same standard by the other characters and the fans.

absolutely devastating that the concept of a phm x iron lung crossover is actually really interesting to me but literally all of the fanart is ship art. im aro and seeing aspec coded characters (in this case, grace) getting shipped is deeply irritating to me so i try to avoid it. but theres literally no way for me to interact with this particular crossover without that because the ship is the whole reason it exists ;-;

rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and grace's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.

Friend: Don't you want to have a romance?

Me: I'm good, I have romance at home.

Romance I have at home:

[scribefindegil]

So many ruthless/pragmatic characters get revealed as hypocrites when the sacrifice required is personal, and that's why it's really important to me that Stratt does genuinely care about Grace and also it doesn't make her hesitate for a second. That's her friend and she dragged him screaming to the sacrificial altar with clear eyes and no apology and she would do it again. What a woman.

in Project Hail Mary (2026) Grace discovers that the nitrogen-resistant taumoebas that he & Rocky bred to eat astrophage can also eat through xenonite

so Grace sends them back to earth in re-used peanut butter and other food containers

implying that nothing in the universe can eat plastic 😃

............

nothing in the universe can eat plastic ☹️

[fanfairywren]

that's not exactly true!!! the taumoeba adapted to escape the xenonite because they were bred in xenonite containers. the same isn't true for the plastic containers because they weren't bred in them. they were sent back in the plastic containers because those were the only non-xenonite containers they had, not because plastic is magically impervious to taumoeba.

additionally, we've actually discovered bacteria on earth that are capable of breaking down plastics! hopefully that's reassuring for you, op :>

i need everyone to get 300% more insane about mercymorn right the fuck now. this is a lady who spent ten thousand years learning everything there is to the human body to the point where she could just modify a person blind. just reach in and and tie harrow’s lil noodle spine into a knot, bypassing her lyctoral shielding. seduced her best friend, worst enemy, and sworn god to steal his sperm (it’s also apparently implied she just. summoned it out of his balls instead of collecting it the normal way) to help a terrorist make a baby from it.

she slaps augustine across the mouth and he spits out his teeth, despite the fact that he is a ten thousand year old lyctor who should have had ironclad shielding. out of all the necros that swore themselves to god, she was one of the remaining ones, one of the last lyctors to survive the resurrection beasts.

she vaporized god. she vaporized god. she unwound the most powerful necromancer she knew on the fly and reduced him to his base components because she just. had the knowledge in her brain. mercymorn turned a man running on the souls of ten billion into fine red mist on a fucking impulse.

she spends all of htn trying to kill harrow out of some bizarre attempt to live up to her name. she’s kind about it, even. she draws weird little squiggles that look like everything but monsters. she fantasizes about putting her idiot boss in acid jail. she worries about her dress making her look like a melon even though she literally seduces god and also a guy who hates her.

and nobody really likes her. g1deon is g1deon, by which i mean he is being tortured and weird about everything on account of being two people and thus has little to no opinion on what she does. augustine fucking hates her unless they’re working together to honey trap god (no i will not stop mentioning this) and it wasn’t even her fault that alfred died, not really. ianthe follows augustine around like an evil little duckling - does she even have strong opinions on mercy except that it’s gross she’s having a three way with jod and augustine? she was supposed to mentor harrow, but she got the defective one - the one that didn’t even make to lyctorhood properly (does she wish she could’ve done what harrow did? sealed cristabel away forever, even if she had to butcher herself to do it?). and jod. jod loves her, of course, but he’s just so. so. he doesn’t fucking listen is the thing. he deflects and he jokes and he doesn’t say “mercy, i didn’t meant to, mercy, i’ll fix it, mercy, please, forgive me.” he says everything but that.

god fuck what is wrong with me. what is wrong with you guys. be more insane about mercy she deserves it.
