[Project Hail Mary spoilers]

Eva Stratt who insisted on being the first to be tested for the comatose gene

Eva Stratt who made sure the ship computer knew the crew's exact coffee orders, even Grace, down to the most precise measurements

Eva Stratt who illegally acquired thousands of video games for the hail mary crew, despite the fact they'd be in a coma for the majority of the trip

Eva Stratt who sent a school teacher into space because she knew he was a fundamentally good man

Eva Stratt who would betray the closest thing she had to a friend because she knew there was no other choice

Eva Stratt who would do anything to save the Earth, no matter the cost

Eva Stratt who desperately wished she could be the one to make the sacrifice instead

Eva Stratt who couldn't, no matter how much she wanted to

Eva Stratt who studied history, and had seen the way the world would become

Eva Stratt who was terrified by it

Eva Stratt who knew she would would go without credit

Eva Stratt who knew no statues would be built of her

Eva Stratt who knew she would never be a hero

Eva Stratt who did it all anyway

Eva Stratt who had to

I was so scared they were heading for a romance subplot but congrats to Project Hail Mary for going for the far funnier option of 'Trolley Operator' and 'Guy She Is Actively Tying To The Tracks'. What a dynamic. Movie of the year.

Biblically accurate Ryland Grace from Ryan Gosling himself.

[lesbian-from-next-door-too]

If Project Hail Mary taught us anything it's that forced romance subplots have ruined movies. Too many stories about guys sacrificing themselves to save girls and not enough movies about guys sacrificing themselves to save their cool rock alien friend.

i think rocky and grace should gleefully lie to each other. they're just making shit up all of the time. rocky has no idea which earth traditions are real and which are elaborate jokes for grace's personal amusement. grace is never sure if rocky is teaching him actual eridian gestures or random movements to make him seem insane. do eridians actually have 5 hearts. do humans actually see scary television shows in their sleep. there is NO trust in this relationship. they are fucking with each other constantly

[manyblinkinglights]

#phm#project hail mary#ryland grace#rocky phm#rocky the eridian#i just keep seeing takes like “rocky can tell when grace is lying” No he can't . he can't . he has no clue . and vice versa#grace [stressed]: hey adrian do eridians all migrate to space for 7 days each year#adrian: stop listening to him. stop. stop it

i'm out of the loop on project hail mary but awfully curious about andy weir and ip laws in regards to the post about the author's barely disguised pet peeve??

there's a scene in the book where a character is getting pointlessly sued for a bunch of media piracy (which she 100% openly did) that exists almost solely to make IP suits look frivolous while the character in question looks really cool and turns to the audience to say "piracy is fine." and once or twice I've seen people make social media posts to the tune of "aw man, sucks that the audiobook for phm and/or the martian is audible exclusive and not available via my library" where weir has shown up to say "just pirate it." I do have to hand it to him on this one I'm afraid.

the Martian vs project Hail Mary is so funny because you’ve got one where they’re very slowly making a spaceship to bring a guy home and another one where they make a spaceship really fast to send a guy into space forever

[mumblesplash]

‘project hail mary is about the power of friendship’ ‘project hail mary is about hope’ ‘project hail mary is about accidentally becoming too important at work’ wrong wrong wrong you’re all wrong. project hail mary is about what it would take for a single man in his 30s to own a fully paid off beachfront property in today’s economy

What’s in the bag: Ryland Grace style

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

[gremlins-cove]

I fit the category of an advanced reader who likes reading fantasy books, I distinctly remember reading ‘the magic treehouse’ a lot until a teacher said it was too low level

Imagine Grace getting tonsillitis on the hail mary and Rocky nearly having a heart attack.

Grace essentially tells Rocky “oh yeah I have an infection in my throat which makes it super painful to talk, and also I have a ‘fever’ which basically means my insides are too hot for me to regulate.” That is NIGHTMARE fuel for an Eridian!! Grace insists he’ll be fine, Mary can just give him antibiotics and he’ll be okay in a few days but Rocky is fussing over him every two seconds

Grace: *writing with crayon* I’m going to get up and go to lab

Rocky: *crushes paper and holds claw on Grace’s chest* No!! Grace has infection!! Bad bad bad, must rest.

Grace: *appalled and whispers* you’re going back to pebble talk?? How delirious do you think I am?! *hisses through his teeth when he talks too loudly*

Rocky: see?? Grace not even talk right. Grace nap, now.

Grace: I just did!!

Rocky: another!! Rocky watch.

Grace rolls over dramatically with an audible huff, followed by a groan of pain.
