Do you think Eridians have some sort of 'rock skipping' sport, where the ones with flatter carapace shoot themselves across a lake and and the ones that go the farthest/have the best form win? Kind of like human diving competitions, but horizontal??

@forestglade YOU'RE A GENIUS YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT

(It's one of Grace's favourite Eridian Sports!)

Random Au idea; Miraculously, the Blip-A crew survive, but at the cost of their travel time, making it so they arrive at Tau Ceti around the same time as the Hail Mary. (Don't think too hard about it)

Grace now gets regularly hassled by many Eridians, all of whom can hold multiple conversations at once, unlike him.

Naturally, opinions about the local wet organful thang Tau Ceti dragged in are varied

#rb #art #oh I'm in LOVE with this actually #squishy human gets adopted by 23 rocks more at 11 #rocky: my human--#22 Eridians: OUR human #now does grace hop on the blip-A for the visit to adrian or do they decide that mary is still better suited for the collection??#smaller cohort that goes along on mary (to make sure grace has someone to sleep-watch obv) for sample collection #radio thrums where grace has to wear earplugs #he still ends up getting tinnitus with all the yelling after the predator discovery #blip-a contingent watching helplessly when the mary starts spinning out after fishing goes wrong :)#phm #phm grace #phm rocky #q

i firmly believe that one of the reasons tumblr latched onto project hail mary so hard is because we're all so obsessed with the dead wife trope lately and grace is his own dead wife. half of the book/film is grace experiencing a dead wife montage about himself and that's beautiful to me

#rb #grace truly is THEE dead wife #he's stratt's dead wife #he's his own dead wife #and in a few decades he'll be rocky's dead wife #:)#phm #phm grace #q

I think the ways grace and rocky go about saying "hey don't be sad we are competent" are 1 really sweet and 2 sososo funny because grace, ever the teacher, will be like "hey don't be sad, I'm a science human, we'll figure it out together" and rocky will be like "oh my god stop crying you dumbass, I figured out how to solve the problem twenty minutes ago. lack of sleep is making you stupid. idiot." And they're both like, wow this is exactly what I needed to hear <3

#rb #yes yes exactaly #rocky has already been internally beating himself up for his 'failures' the past half a human century #meanwhile grace needs to be taken down a peg and reminded he doesn't need to be the smartest person in the room and will still be cared abo #phm #phm rocky #phm grace #q

with the abundance of digital material they have on the hail mary, i am 101% sure ryland got a hold of crappy jokes and started reciting them to rocky. rocky now thinks that human humour is full of dad jokes.

#rb #art #ah yes #the feeling when you KNOW you're about to drop the stupid joke in existance and nothing any one else says will stop you #phm #phm rocky #phm grace #q

Something else I see people keep forgetting: between humans and Eridians, we are the astronauts. And we are good at it.

Eridians' perception of the world relies on something that is completely absent in space — sound. They haven't been looking at the stars their entire existence the way we have. Their concept of aliens might only be as old as their discovery of astrophage. They made a bad ship, because it was their first one ever! Rocky himself says they rushed it, and that multiple (vital) things broke. Their mission was just as much of a Hail Mary pass as ours was — they had no idea what they were doing, if they could even travel in space safely. And, as it turns out, they couldn't.

Humans are the ones who have been doing it over multiple lifetimes. Mary is state of the art. We've been space farers longer than most humans have been alive. We can actually see through space. We are more likely to survive exposure to the void. We can encase our lighter, more flexible, more mobile bodies in a material that lets us walk outside of our ship, and, to a degree, we can get our bearings out there in a way Eridians just can't.

Eridians are not looking at Mary and thinking she's a bad ship. They are not thinking humans have no idea what we're doing. They are looking at this species that can walk in the stars, have been perfecting machines to take us to them for decades, have been dreaming about them and mapping them and naming them for millennia, and used all of that to save them, and thinking, wow.
