Eva Stratt who is the most powerful woman in the world and has a powerpoint ready the second she needs to explain project hail mary. and the title page is "what is project hail mary". exactly like you would do for a classroom presentation. no one is doing it like her

and Ryland Grace. a middle school teacher. is taking notes like this is a classroom.

Is the project Hail Mary movie really as good as everyone says? Because after how much the book made me cry I’m scared to be let down by the movie 😭

[ashleyasha]

@imaginaryrobin I feel like you'd have a good answer for this!

[imaginaryrobin]

I thought it was a really well done adaptation!! I was also nervous to watch the movie after listening to the audiobook. And I did nitpick a few things a tad, my first time (by my second read and watch, I saw why they’d change certain details to better suit a screen adaptation), but I adored the movie to pieces! And love both versions each in their own way!

It’s one of the best adaptations I’ve seen, because they really knew how to make it its own thing while still really nailing the essence of the story, and the emotional impact of its themes!! ✨ There are quotes and scenes that are only in the book, that are so perfect and wonderful, and you might miss them when watching the movie. But the movie, too, has many of its own quotes and scenes that are perfect and wonderful and only in the movie, and honestly you kinda miss those wonderful moments when rereading the book too, lol!!! 😅 I just want to squish the book and movie together into one big wonderful blob! So totally, they each are wonderful together or apart! I wish more book to screen adaptations would be handled the way this one was! 💛

My search history isn't just concerning it's just. Random. And really weird.

I cannot believe I just actually searched "Roy Harper coffee preference".

[petercanparkacar]

i have searched which gunshot is most survivable. So. Huh.

[jesuswarriordaughter]

I've researched how to tell what ground would be easiest to dig a large rectangular hole in.

Crazy search history people unite.

[parselysagerosemaryandi]

I looked up 'best adjective before "sigh" ' and I was severely disappointed in the results

[jesuswarriordaughter]

Man. What were the results ? Asking for a friend.

[parselysagerosemaryandi]

They were so lame, I heaved an exasperated sigh.

Edit: i orignally just had this in my orignal tags. But its funny enough i want it on the post:

grace: im gonna sleep on the beach

rocky: i made you a whole ass house with doors and beds and everything. and you want to sleep on the ground

grace: on the beach. :) yeah

rocky: *sigh of fond exasperation* fine you weirdo

grace: besides this whole place is my house really. I can do what i want :3

rocky: yeah sure whatever you say. but when you're sore in the morning don't expect me to feel sorry for you

[familyofpaladins]

Looks like Grace and Rocky both fell asleep. Would you mind watching over them as they sleep on your dash? Thanks

(or see them napping on the beach)

Something I wondered was, if by the end of the book, they would switch from being "Mensah's humans" to "my humans"

The first time it calls them "my humans" is when it is protecting them.

But once protection stops, they're back to Mensah's humans.

They became "my humans" permanently after they see it being a SecUnit and still care for it and trust it. They're not afraid of it.

And then they graduate from "my humans" to "friends" when it is reunited with Mensah.

[cloudabserk]

grace is like rocky be honest am i too clingy? and rocky is like grace i would mind meld with you if i could.

[kurr-ko]

does anyone here like project hail mary

[hedge-rambles]

Something I loved in Platform Decay was the whole thing of "sigils" being, very clearly like, emojis. I can't recall if they're mentioned much before this book, but the way Sofi uses them makes it clear what they really are.

Which makes this reread funny when, a few pages in, I'm hit with this line:

I send Three the schematics highlighted where the potential security personnel were located; it replied with an acknowledgement sigil and an updated map projection.

MB: Vital mission information, potential dangers and schematics.

Three: 👍
