Made myself nauseous thinking about Simon never really having a home. They were always moving around when he was a kid and then he got stuck on Eden when his mom was raptured on Mars.

Eden wasn't home either it always felt temporary and unstable and then it was dying so the closest thing he feels to "home" WAS his mother and all these years later he realizes he feels it again with Grace

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im SICK

also sometimes i remember that “just hold me, please” is an actual canon line said by the most emotionally stunted man on the planet. like i forget it’s not from a fanfic or something. he actually said that. that was arthur pendragon’s dying wish. get fucked, bbc merlin writers. and thank you.

Tumblrites Help me out!!

Please Please Please Please Please (im on my knees)

Hi, my name is Allien. I am doing research on fandoms toxicity and the chaotic historic moments they make (think rainbow dash jar)

Unfortunately as someone who is not in one myself... I need the aid of the..

(sparkle) Tumblr Fandom Communities! (sparkle)

Even if your not in fandom, or a 'toxic' fandom your voice counts!

(Control groups are nice)

https://forms.gle/cGPekCp97ce5Pt5DA

(About 10-15 minutes to take? Its long but it would really help ;-; )

Linked above is a forum I made to help me gather statistics for my project, and if I can gather enough it will likely end up in a

Video Essay about Fandom!

Me if you scroll without filling out the form:

Also if you know of communities of people that are in fandoms please cross post the link <3 Danke

ironfox but they meet again in space instead of on earth, so the reaction ends up looking something like this

Grace: Is that... my EX FROM COLLEGE??

then he tweaks out

really badly

[atoneofconscious]

Strattland’s weird third thing when Eva gets legally married to Ryland on paper so he can’t be used in court against her after the Hail Mary launch. Enter Grace not knowing because he just signs whatever Stratt brings him because he’s too tired to read anything and he trusts her.

[zarnzarn]

fanon grace is so funny to me.

'o-oh, i haven't really done this ever uwu' vs "been a while since I've taken a pill from a stranger without knowing what it was".

'i don't want to ever face stratt/panic attacks about her/needs a protective squad from her' vs "well I'll die in space but thank god at least I won't have to hear you say I told you so".

'melodic voice and a heart of gold' vs constant rasp and constant bickering and crankiness the entire time on the hail mary

'can whoever's watching this punch stratt for me' vs "you're smart. you'll figure it out."

Imagine having to live with the knowledge that the savior of humanity called you a waste of carbon

[ilostmygenderalongwithmydignity]

Still thinking abt this btw.

This guy completely disappears from academic spaces. Practically no one knows what happened to him. You know he just called you a staggering waste of carbon in a fit of anger, which was unprofessional but admittedly a pretty raw line. When little space guys are eating the sun, every expert Eva Stratt talks to mentions him. He names them. He’s the first to figure out their life cycle. He’s the world’s leading expert. He is second in command for the task force responsible for saving the world. Eventually people find out he is the scientist member on the Hail Mary. Decades later, he is the only one who survived the journey to Tau Ceti. He figured all of it out, despite battling memory loss which meant he didn’t have a grasp on who he really was.

And you have to deal with the fact that Dr. Ryland Grace, Savior of Humanity, went on to prove that he was a much better use of carbon than you could ever dream to be. And you don’t know if he even remembers calling you that in the first place.

Love not having a ”””fandom””” specific blog. Something new will just consume my mind and everyone has to accept it. My house

Eva Stratt did not want to be the one with power. She did not want to have to hold the world in her hands and pray. Pray that any action she took would buy them time.

However, she knew that if it wasn't her, it would be someone who cared less, or cared more. If they cared less, or cared more, they'd be unable to make the decisions that needed to be made. The decisions that would keep a lesser, more empathetic person up at night, but was nothing more than a fleeting thought for her.

Eva was too busy to be worrying about the state the world would be in if she succeeded, because she knew that if she didn't succeed, there wouldn't be any world left to worry about. There wouldn't be anyone left to be angry at her for the damage she had caused.

The people on Stratts's Vat were tired. They were so tired, and angry, but also so full of life.

She saw it in their eyes when they looked at her. The anger, the fear, the sleepless nights, but she also saw the hope. The traces of hope that she saw in their eyes were what kept her going. What let her continue making the difficult decisions, because she couldn't let humanity down. She couldn't let the world end when she knew she could do something, anything, to stop it.

So it was her who had to be in power. Her who had to make the difficult decisions, because if not her, who would?

Who would be able to look world leaders in the eyes and tell them that a continent had to go, just so that earth could stay warm a few months longer. Who would stare down politicians and the press, and say that her actions needed no explanation, and that she was the one who was given the executive power to do whatever it took to save earth.

She knew she was going to collapse at some point. That once the project ended she would be convicted for the crimes she had committed. That she was probably going to spend the rest of her life in a maximum security prison, rotting away in a jail cell while the rest of the world either slowly forgot about her, or remembered her for all the horrible things she did.

She did what she had to do. Even if all her efforts were in vain, and sending her closest companion—not friend, Eva Stratt did not have friends— to die in space against his will led to nothing, she knew she had to try.

However, she knew that every action she took was necessary. Including sending three of the most brilliant minds on the planet to die in a solar system light years away. But what else could she do? Sit around and watch as the earth froze, crops died and people starved?

It was her Hail Mary after all.

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.

[bokuwaboku-datte]

Eridians must be absolutely amazed that Grace can be woken up before his sleep cycle is finished. They take advantage of this and fit the biodome's bedroom with a remotely-triggered alarm system, so if something ever goes wrong with the life support systems while Grace is asleep, they can wake him up and have him move to safety. But, being that their sleep is more like a deep dormancy, they WAY overestimate what it takes to forcibly wake someone up.

The first time they have to use it (over something stupid like a tiny ammonia leak), Grace wakes up to like three different foghorns and a hundred camera flashes going off at once and is like HOLY GEEZ THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US

(eta if someone with art talent wants to make this a proper eridian welcoming committee comic please do!)
