Stratt: with enough astrophage, California in it’s entirety could blow up

Grace: oh that would be a catastrophage

<The Buoy> A Coltland Mini-Comic

Recommended song to listen to: <Obstacles> by Syd Matters

First off, GIGANTIC CREDIT to @intrstellarisms and their BOMBASTICALLY FANTASTIC Coltland fic <based on a true story>. This mini-comic exists because of it and it is specifically based on chapter 2 <The buoy>. Please check out the fic here!!

really worked my ass off this(literally, I got rashes from sitting too long in a humid and hot environment) but I am just so obsessed with the fic that I feel compelled to create something for it. I really want to capture that constant melancholy and hurt present in the Coltland twins dynamic when grace is sent away. A perpetual hollow in Colt's heart where it makes all his memory with Ryland dreamy and fairy-tale like.

The recommended song <obstacles> by Syd Matters is also from the recommendation in the original fic. (Honestly the fic is like the age of enlightenment for me）

sorry if this doesn't rly have a nice flow and if the arrangements are a bit hard to read(My friend beta read this for me and that's her feedback), it's my first time trying to draw comic and I think I'm still a bit stuck on the static fanart mindset. (oh and i'm gonna add this into the 100 days drawing challenge hehe(13/100) Pls feel free to throw in any feedback on it as well!!

Lastly, huge thanks again for @intrstellarisms for giving me the opportunity to create this. And for being such a sweet author(did you know the comment you replied is my first ever comment on AO3?) That really made my day!

Hope yall enjoy and PLS GO READ THE FIC!!

I love how unaware Grace is about how impressed the rest of the staff are with his work and his high clearance and the fact he’s always standing next to Stratt (which just elevates his authority and reputation even more) but he’s so oblivious to all of that because imposter syndrome goes crazy and he catches people off guard because he’s incredibly silly and talks too much and is so curious about everything and he talks to himself a lot and when he’s explaining anything he gets so excited he sounds like he’s teaching his middle school class again and he just doesn’t see himself the way others are seeing him at all and oh my god I love him so much

[blue-sunshine-mauve-morning]

I sort of headcanon that a lot of Grace's "Im just a Guy" temperament comes from the whole situation where the Big Name scientists he insulted in his paper personally and maliciously used their connections to get him kicked off his internship(was it internship? Partnership?), out of his university/lab, and basically got him barred from all opportunities in his field. That's expressly laid out in the book. Like, yeah.... he learned a very hard lesson on where he fit in the category of 'Important People Who Have Power and Authority' and the one time Grace thought he was one of them, or at least secure enough to challenge them, he ended up imploding his life. He landed in Middle School Education and it turns out he Loved it, but I imagine that was a very painful and somewhat awfully public fall from academia.

What i extra love about this silly little two-panel is that canonically this man gets randomly and abruptly shipped to multiple different locations with no warning or explanation by increasingly distressing means. So, such a legitimate response for Ryland in multiple regards.

The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

There’s a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I’ve taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

I’ve written another Project Hail Mary fic. It’s a post-canon, Slice of Eridian Life fic about Grace finding his home on Erid.

I’m tryna get used to drawing scenes so this is part of that

[ellebumblebee]

Rocky learns about dominant and non-dominant hands and is just. A little bitch.

"Let Rocky understand. Grace have four limbs, not five."

(Grace, doing his best to explain) "Yeah, but-"

(Rocky, getting louder to drown him out)"But two of those limbs are for walking only, cannot perform any other task"

"Rock-"

"And now you tell Rocky only one of other limbs works very well? Other one struggles to perform basic tasks?"

(Grace, head in hands, meekly)"I mean it can do some stuff-"

"Your race is poorly designed, statement."

*Sigh* "can't argue with you there buddy"

Rocky spends the rest of the trip back to Erid making pointed comments like "Can Grace pass Rocky... nevermind"
