Thank you Andy Weir for giving me a crybaby hero. Ryland Grace saves the whole world and he cries while he does it, like, all the time. I love him. Feel your emotions babe, literally everything that’s happening to you is so so traumatic.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Still thinking about how Grace was always treated as disposable. Kicked out of his passion field for his honesty—underpaid as a (very good) teacher, to the point he can’t afford a car—left alone in a room full of argon with a sample that might kill him, while all the indispensable guys who put him there stood on the other side of the glass and watched. Shoved screaming into a mission that would kill him. And then, then this bonkers little alien who just met him gladly trades years off his life (via extended return mission) to save him. Runs burning through deadly air to keep him from dying. Chooses finally to weave their lives together forever and recreate Grace’s best dreams of Earth to make him happy. No wonder Grace told Rocky he doesn’t have to get him a gift, he’s given him everything. To one little spider guy, Grace is irreplaceable. That’s love.

You’re out of touch, I’m out of time.

Eva Stratt I’m sorry for what you had to do 😔

[queer-here-and-in-fear]

shout out to project hail mary for being a platonic romantic movie. like. Like. every other scene with eva or rocky harks deeply on romantic tropes. rocky and grace pressing their faces together through the xenonite. grace going to find eva on the deck of the ship, being the only one who looked for her. the dance between the blip-a and the hail mary when they first connect tunnels. eva telling grace she believes in him like a prayer. rocky being bossy and impassioned and grace being exasperated but also adoring it. the entire karaoke scene, the cuts to graces smile while she sings. rocky screaming at grace to Get The Fuck Inside during the taumeoba mission. and its a lovestory abt platonic love. at no point does the movie imply either of these relationships should be or are romantic. but they are love stories. Lowers my body into the marsh.

to be loved is to be known

to be loved is to be understood

to be loved is to be seen

to be loved is to be heard

to love is to let go

can’t and won’t stop thinking about eva stratt and ryland grace as two sides of the same sacrificial coin: one who offered herself to the cause as the world’s scapegoat and celebrated by no one, and one who is made the lamb without his consent yet celebrated as the savior he never agreed to be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

and it’s exactly in said coin’s nature — two sides always meant to be tied to another, and never meant to face each other again.

scrapped painting,, thought i might as well post it

[assiraphales]

the hail mary was stocked full of so many “unnecessary” things like a karaoke machine, movies, a room to replicate nature, colorful fun clothes, vodka…..perhaps as a reminder of what they were saving, but also so they could celebrate their success and last few days before their deaths. meanwhile after grace met rocky, he got to celebrate being alive

[puppetmaster55]

suddenly thinking about the courtroom scene, of Stratt being accused of pirating literally everything, and Grace later having everything in the various computers aboard his ship that he gave a copy to Rocky without issue, and the beetles having such a massive memory capacity and...

Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.

Just.... she pirated everything, and put it all on the Hail Mary.

really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how they’re doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. i’m sorry you haven’t gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. i’m sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. i’m sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. i’m sorry they aren’t touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. i’m sorry your mom is sick again. glad you’re feeling better now that it’s your favorite season. i’m sorry your meds aren’t working. glad you’re married now. i’m sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad you’re still here. i’m sorry life is so hard. glad you’re alive, i hope things get easier for you soon

ngl it feels like kind of weird to see a lot of people who have not watched the show dismissing heated rivalry as like a mindless sexfest that everyone is enjoying as softcore porn when it is a show about the intense emotional strain of being closeted in a hypermasculine field that does not make space for you or your identity. + one of the main emotional conflicts for the Russian main character is that if he comes out he cannot safely ever go home again but he does not have citizenship for another country. and he is responsible for financing the care of his terminally ill father. + the Japanese protagonist has a not explicitly stated but very clear issue with the fact he is supposed to be the strong asian role model for young boys but being gay could "ruin" that and he does not know how to balance being a racial role model with being his authentic and queer self. like

idk maybe im being sensitive but there's a tendency in broader homophobic culture to dismiss everything about gay male relationships as shallow and hypersexual and this behavioural trend very much reminds me of that. im not saying anyone is obligated to like or watch the show, theyre not. and yes there is a lot of sexual content in the show. but "critiquing" a show you have not seen that is about gay men for being meaningless and shallow because it contains heavy sexual elements is very uncomfortable to me.
