Transporting alien life into the biodome

[stargirl-and-potts]

I can't stop thinking of Grace being reborn on the ship. Gosling calls the coma bag his amniotic sac. He's released from it wobbly, frightened, struggling to speak, like a brand new baby; is stunned to find out he's been released into an enormous universe with no instructions. He encounters death immediately without understanding. He has to learn to know himself from nothing--"Am I smart?" He cries and screams over how overwhelming it all is, like a toddler shoved into a world they can't control.

We watch him through his angsty teen years learning the little things that make him himself -- he likes cilantro, he has muscles, he has a sciencey brain -- but none of that gives him a purpose. He goes into depressed undergrad party mode, in a silly hat, soaked in vodka, asking himself what the point of it all is.

But then he sees the ship's golden wall carved with the mission, the memory of the people before him who worked to get him this far, the children coming after him who are depending on him, and something shifts. His shoulders straighten. He takes a deep breath and tosses the little Earth-ball into the air. He understands very little yet, like a young adult just trying to join the flow of community and history. But Grace has found his adulthood.

After that he can face mortality, responsibility; he puts on his uniform; buries his crewmates. He can grieve them properly and face the future for Earth's sake. After that he's ready to try to meet the moment he's in, even though like all of us he knows now that he will die. And he is ready to meet and love the people different from him who will become his family, his final home. He has dealt with fear and loneliness and loss; he's ready for life. He's grown up.

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

[nepptunii]

who’s gonna tell him

[graves-yard]

If no one is gonna give Colt depression and suicidal tendencies then I’ll have to do it myself.

A little Grace and Carl joy for my soul ...

help!!! they're reproducing by mitosis!!!

[graves-yard]

To satisfy my need to draw out the different body types Colt and Ryland grew into, I sketched out this really sketchy sketch, you see?? Definitely because of that and nothing else.

i could not get @asparklethatisblue 's human rocky out of my head so here's my swing at a phm species swap AU

[sammypog]

why is no one talking about the book reunion scene. did you know when grace explains that he’s going to die of starvation, rocky immediately tells him to leave and go back home, that he’ll just keep waiting, that erid might send another ship someday. i’m going crazy. rocky had probably completely accepted his fate and then grace miraculously appeared and gave him back his life and his home. and he was instantly willing to give it all up again just so grace could survive. can anyone hear me. this is insane. i’m insane

[dyke-parade]

the fact that grace has to CONVINCE ROCKY not to do this by arguing that grace isn't worth risking the entirety of erid for????

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

very funny to me how there's not that many characters in phm to play with so the fandom's just been stealing characters from other movies. like yeah grace has a twin brother who's ryan gosling from a different movie. hell why not andy weir crossover mark watney's here too. let's throw markiplier in while we're at it.

i love the women of project hail mary

i love annie shapiro and her not having any filter "sorry i had to go use the restroom, i was peeing myself" and her nerdy excitment to get to learn from grace

i love olesya ilyukhina, her bravery and childlike innocense, hugging the earth's dicatator like nothing, taking her teddy bear to a suicide mission, and literally sacrificing her life for humanity without a second thought

i loved dr. lokken's pride and her beef with grace about his theory

i love eva stratt and her love for humaity being so big that she had to destroy herself to give humanity a real chance to have a future

[deetsdoodles]

Hair getting in the way of crafting? We can't have that! I believe Rayland would be delighted to see Rocky like that. :D Also Rocky not quite understanding Raylands laughing. This is a serious matter!

Something silly :> I think his hair band is rather cute haha
