Ok but the Eridians were WILD for the mission they sent Rocky on.

Like before humanity even CONSIDERED sending folk into space we were like "ok lets see if anything can survive at all, lets see if things can get there and come back yada yada" and there were COUNTLESS space missions before we even dared as far as sending someone to the MOON for 5 minutes.

But the Eridians were like "Star not eaten by Astrophage? We go there." And sent an entire crew of their BEST SCIENTISTS and engineers on this flight, KNOWING it would take DECADES and having NO CONTACT with them for that space of time and not even knowing what R A D I A T I O N is.

Truly the "fuck it, we ball" species of all time.

probably one of the reasons why i love phm so much is that it's a movie literally about the merits of platonic love and platonic soulmates. enough of these stupid romance movies gimme two characters whose friendship fucking saved both their planets, and who love each-other so fucking much that they would sacrifice themselves for the other over and over again. finally, a movie that shows that all love is powerful, not just that between romantic partners.

^ yeah!! grace DID have a life on earth. he LOVED being a teacher!! he LOVED his classroom of kids!! his life on earth was HIS, and not having a family/romantic partner did NOT make his life worth any less than anyone else

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.
