PROLOGUE DONE. for more details on whats happening next in this comic go down into the read more

First - Previous - Next

close ups (+ notes) \/

EXTRA NOTES:

sooo prologue is over! im gonna take a break for a bit so i can catch up on the work ive been putting to the wayside. not abandoning this, certainly not, but if i post an update within the next week you should yell at me

from now on the comic is gonna be a mix of bigger arcs like this prologue and more doodles/slice of life bits. just random fun interactions i think of

i do in fact have a timeline semi planned out for the plot of this comic. whenever i lose interest in this (which will likely take a while) ill post the timeline so people know what the story plan was. i always hate when a fan comic or fanfic ends abruptly and i dont know what was gonna happen

big thank you to everyone who's sent me asks, i just figured out how to open asks and so far everyone has been very kind and very cool. i appreciate them all a lot, but i havent responded to anyone because it scares me. just know im really really thankful for all the support and ive read every one of them <3

soooo Teegarden's Star C is a real planet. It's another "planet named after the star but with a letter next to it". The star it orbits (teegarden's star) is a cooler star. which makes it more red. which makes the planet also red. which was a wonderful coincidence because i picked teegarden's star because of it's placement in the path back to Erid from Tau Ceti (based on a kinda shitty map i found of the phm journey, which may be wrong??). WHY exactly the Hail Mary is in this system at all is to be answered in the story

also apology to anyone who hasn't seen phm or iron lung, that last page must be confusing as hell. anyway it'll only get more movie-lore based so good luck to anyone who hasn't seen/read those stories

should i post this on ao3?? i have an account, but i havent posted anything on there ever. an ask mentioned it might be nice to have the comic compiled into one spot like that. but yeah ive never posted anything on there

UPDATE: AO3 link is here

thank you all again, the support's been amazing and i hope you all enjoy what i have planned <3

“Eridians dislike earth because they abandoned Grace.” *Incorrect Buzzer Sound* ya missed the point of the story buddy! It’s not about someone being ‘bad’ it’s about the incredible power of love and that love being worth dying for!

Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying “We know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and he’s safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.”

Give me humans sitting on Earth slowly coming to the conclusion that when we look up not only are we not alone, someone out there is alive because of one of us. That no matter what we think of ourselves a whole species thinks highly of us because we helped save the galaxy. Give me humans who figure out how to send a probe to Erid filled to the brim with messages for Grace and footage of a monument being raised that reads his name, his crews names, and then “in memory of the 22 Eridians who lost their lives on the journey to save the stars.”

genuinely sooo obsessed with @nakakabaliw's h!rocky design that i just had to draw him but i also love a good swap au too so. eridian grace 🥹

[beanfreak]

has tumblr seen this photo that james ortiz posted of himself holding rocky because oh my god

that’s his real son that he gave birth to. grace better watch out bc james is about to steal the title of rocky’s number one fan

[foxandfall]

I think the hands (and the facial expression to an extent) really made me think of Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan by Ilya Repin

that's his son

[sharrrrknight]

Yknow the lil fanfic trope where a character, usually non-human, purrs like a cat. In this case it would obviously be Rocky but what if it was Grace instead hear me out-

[hayleywilliamsfan84]

i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK

grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?

[hydrangea-pop]

I can't leave this in the tags lmaooo

Chapter 1, in which Grace faces a tragedy.

Based on @neutronian and @vonlipwig brilliant conversation. Thank you both for inspiration!! ✨️

Grace insisted on putting Carl's name on the most important paper of the century 🎉

PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026) + trivia

[orphetoon]

go watch project hail mary NOW!!

[graves-yard]

Everyone and their alien best friend has made this joke, but I wanted to. Plus (pointer finger) nothing can stop me when I’m hyperfixating.

Rocky has to fight the cuteness aggression now whenever Grace does silly human things.

[starspaceace]

i like to imagine the eridians having similar conversations that we're having about their alien

[alenseress]

Chapter 2 is out!!
