I know next to nothing about botany but the phrase “feral sunflower” is hilarious to me

"I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."

thinking about Hatchling discovering Grace & Rocky's story hundreds of thousands of years after it happened when there are no more Eridians or humans to tell it :')

Recent portraits of cats I painted for people :]

Science this, aliens that, but Project Hail Mary is about love the most, isn't it?

Love for self (Grace's self-preservation), love for others (Grace's love for his students, for Rocky, Rocky's love for him, Yao's 'it's about finding someone to be brave for'). Love in so many forms, so powerful it undooms the narrative.

It brings me hope. It brings me joy. Just this once, everybody lives.

I want to inject PHM into my veins, my god.

the first time I cried after leaving the cinema because as I was walking home I was very suddenly like HOLY FRIGG this is about someone finding you in the (quite literal) darkest, loneliest hour of your life. In a situation where you didn't think anybody could find you, suddenly someone is there and you make it work. And you talk and you talk and you talk and you're understood.

I just heard Project Hail Mary's genre coined as "Cosmic Hope" instead of cosmic horror, and I'm getting emotional all over again. I need to sit down. God do I love this story to bits.

was anybody going to tell me that grace's quilt is covered in good luck symbols from around the world as a way to show that the entire world was wishing him luck on the mission

[couldbeglorious]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD

The quilt!!! The Good Luck quilt !!!! just there on instagram with 60 likes on it!!!!!!!!! oh man i was looking SO HARD. i've started to do a guide to all the good luck symbols that were on it but my quest is basically over!! The edges of it aren't clear, but this is basically everything we DON'T see in the film! oh man, I feel lightheaded.

My initial, pre-this-post thoughts

Now - their meanings as far as i can tell, a collage from different pictures and a small restoration of some missing pieces

Trying to join a big Discord server when you're not really that familiar with Discord servers somehow manages to combine the social anxiety of trying to make new friends or ordering at a fancy new coffeeshop for the first time with the general chaos and technical barriers to entry of an MMO. I shuffle up to the counter and go "Um, hey, can I get---" only for someone named ☽ 𝓖𝓸𝓫𝓵𝓲𝓷 𝓕𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓮𝓻 ☾ [👑 Mod] [👺 Dark Wizard] [♣︎ BUNT] [🔮 Pengis Time 2022] • he/him to manifest in a cloud of bisexual coloured animated lightning, turning me instantly to dust and then announcing to the shop at large "Hey guys, please remember to read the #2026-updated-rules-terms-and-conditions and choose your role before you speak, also remember that ordering should go in #ordering-drinks, #ordering-cakes, or #ordering-a-cake-and-a-drink, unless you're 🔉just-using-the-bathroom. Thanks"

It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.
