sit down and we do it differently

I swore I'd never find myself this enchanted by a movie that does not pass the bechdel test

Imagine the surreal insanity of being Irina Petrova and just hanging out having a hobby that you're very intense about and then you notice something weird and then all at once your name is one of the most uttered in history, by total accident. In the movie universe they describe her as a "radio telescope enthusiast" she does not even do this professionally. And suddenly everything is Petrova line, Petrova frequency, Petrova wavelength, Petrovascope, Petrova Task Force, Petrova problem. And you're like man. I have a day job.

Somebody good at drawing make a fanart based on the Artemis II "Mother and Daughter" image of Christina Koch looking out at Earth with her braid except it's Ilyukhina before she was put in her coma and my life is yours

This was always going to happen.

She's been dead since the beginning.

I know I’m chronically Strattbrained but I would make an argument that Stratt is as important to the narrative of Project Hail Mary as Rocky is. Without Rocky there’s no plot, but without Stratt there’s no theme

My contribution of PHM fanart that took me so much longer to finish than I wanted

I just think also of this photo from the James Hubble Telescope

You are my solution.

What is prev to you?

the smell of woodsmoke in the dark

sunlight glittering on drifts of snow

opening chords to a classic song after an ad break on the radio

daisies in a mason jar

the curve in the road you always take a bit too fast

blank notebook with a leather cover

a stone church with carvings and spires and stained-glass

a cool pillow and a warm blanket at midnight

playlist that makes sense to no one else

yellow leaf floating down a clear cold river

silver fog over green hills and warm hands in raincoat pockets

a strain of violin music floating through a crowded subway

I've decided to start developing concepts of a fic that gives heavy focus to all of the Vat side characters from the book which means I have to take a lot of creative liberties given that a lot of them are in like. One scene. Which means I have to defend headcanons like "Leclerc has lesbian parents" with Man All I Have Is The Vibes

For all my fellow Strattland lovers out there <3

Ryland Grace & Rocky | Anchor

Of course I had to edit them. It's the law.

fired from my job at the microbiology lab and having to carry all my things out in a little cardboard box the size of a thimble

Every time I say "this a fitting song, I'm going to make a Stratt and Grace edit" and then I get halfway through and I realize I'm making a Stratt edit with special guest Grace

[its-timego]

Laws of the universe: every Grace edit is actually a Grace & Stratt edit; every Grace and Rocky edit is actually a Grace, Rocky & Stratt edit; every Grace & Stratt edit is actually a Stratt edit ft. Grace. Me when I haunt the narrative so overwhelmingly that it interferes with the dorks behind the 4th wall trying to make fan content.

[its-timego]

All these cowards on ao3 writing Grace returns to Earth fics and changing the way time dilation works just so they don't have to make Stratt old... why are we all so terrified of women aging??? Of living a full life and still remaining 3 dimensional human beings?? Idk about you guys but in my fic it has been twenty eight entire years and Stratt gets to be 74 like she deserves to be

There's a point where you get involved enough in feminism that you start to feel like you're becoming a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist about everything you love. I remember Project Hail Mary was written by a man and then against my will I start thinking about the Vat side characters and how Dimitri, Hatch, Leclerc, Redell, Lamai, and Lokken are all at relatively similar levels of important/unimportant and yet Dimitri, Hatch, Leclerc, and Redell get first and last names and Lamai and Lokken don't

[its-timego]

Always kind of thinking about this one second obscured shot of Stratt's office on land... she has another smaller desk in the corner that looks a little uncoordinated with the rest of the room. Why though? My immediate thought was that's Grace's desk. He was in there with her so much that for convenience's sake he ended up with his own little desk right beside hers, facing the same window where she would stand and watch him be tackled to the ground and sedated on her orders.

Guys do i make the whole edit?

(Also can someone help me find a way to clip the movie to make said edit?)
