this is so crazy but it turns out if you want to write something you’re allowed to just open the google doc and start writing it you don’t have to agonize over it every night for weeks or months working up the nerve

[knownqueerbaiter]

"If we blow the whistle on this," Eva murmurs, "we'll be killed."

"So we die," Hatch shrugs, rather matter-of-fact about it all. "Too many people gave their lives for this project. The U.N. can't just abandon it to flee Earth."

WIP / AU explanation below

In this AU, both Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture (from Iron Lung) happen in the same universe, 300 years apart from one another.

In the 2 decades between the HM's launch and the Beetles' return to Earth, Stratt needs to find a way to keep the worlds' leaders too busy to tear the world apart by way of war, so, along with Steve Hatch (an engineer from the book), she proposes a new space program "for redundancy."

This space program includes putting Astrophage production plants not on the Moon, as Hatch suggested in the book, but on Mars.

This program is exclusively meant to distract world leaders, and is not meant at all to be profitable or stretch beyond a 20 year lifespan.

Despite this expectation, the U.N.'s leaders develop a vested interest in Martian colonization following Hatch's discoveries regarding the ability to synthesize water using Astrophage-fuel (Astrofuel), and decide to dedicate 50% of the funds needed to finish Project Hail Mary to this program, instead.

Stratt protests, of course, but her pleads fall on deaf ears. There's no guarantee Earth will heal back to the way it was before the Petrova Line, and it's incredibly unlikely to happen within any of their lifetimes, anyway.

The few begin to see little profit in continuing to aid the many...especially when a clear option for a long, prosperous lifestyle is dangling right in front of them.

It's spoilers so I'm not going to say how, but hasty Martian colonization is what eventually leads to the Quiet Rapture happening 3 centuries down the line.

truly no video game moment will ever surpass the part in portal 2 where glados says "well, this is the part where he kills us" and wheatley says "hello, this is the part where i kill you" and you unlock the achievement titled "the part where he kills you" (description: this is that part) and the chapter title appears on the screen and reads: chapter nine: the part where he kills you

I think that part of what irks me about AI being used even for "small" stuff like meme graphics (aside from all the larger problems obviously) is like.... the time spent on it was part of the humor. "this is a silly inconsequential joke but I had to stop everything and spend 5 minutes making it" was, at least for me, part of the joke. Someone really took time out of their day to make me look at something silly they took time out of their day to make. Now it's like someone took time out of my day to make me look at something no one even made. Stop wasting my time if you aren't wasting yours too.
