when people say my name im like.   cant believe i exist

[jvlianbashir]

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

[weaselle]

when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly

(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )

which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces

[yadelah]

This kinda required my brain a bit

[critter-of-habit]

They're just silly

Relationships Goal : I send you to die and let you haunt me in my mind. I see you in my loneliness, in the peripheral where you no longer exist.

(Kinda gave up mid way I wish I could render it better buttttt do you see the VISION. stratt forever in isolation jail…. only ryland grace as her companion… he’s always there in her peripheral… because she couldn’t imagine him being elsewhere yo)

[opabiniasarecool]

Yes, Ryland Grace is the most aroace person you will ever meet. Yes, Rylan Grace was this secret third thing with Eva Stratt. Yes, Ryland Grace and Carl would've been wonderful husbands if fate hadn't ripped them apart. Yes, Ryland Grace is mates with two alien rocks who love him dearly. Yes Ryland Grace is down bad for Simon from Iron Lung.

All of these statements perfectly coexist in my head.

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.

I don’t tend to ship strattland romantically but also I wholeheartedly believe that if she didn’t send him to space she’d marry him so he can’t testify against her

[drumlincountry]

The thing about Ryland Grace and Eva Stratt's dynamic is that they're very much "leopard who eats peoples faces" x "guy who claims not to endorse this but has hung out with the leopard for years and when she eats people's faces he's like 'ah yeah she does that ☺️💫✨'."

[your-own-scifi-nerd]

Love how Stratt is always getting people to clap for Grace and his achievements it’s like telling other people to applaud your dog for bringing back the stick in one piece

[areyouleadingorami]

someone commented on my edit that stratt would have seen 40 eridani return to its full brightness and she would know that grace had saved erid.

it takes 16 years for light from 40 eridani to reach earth plus the ~26 years it took for the hail mary to reach tau ceti and the beetles to return, that’s 42 years gone by.

i believe stratt was described as being in her mid to late forties which means that by the time light from 40 eridani reached earth, she would likely be around 90 years old.

my new head cannon is that she held on just long enough to see whether grace made it.

[whiteflwrs]

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.

me lowkey

Since tumblr is currently very excited about versions of Project Hail Mary we made up in our head, an interesting thought experiment might be: what would Rocky sound like if lexicologized and translated by someone else?

The meat of the story is linguistics being done by a non-linguist, which means that Rocky's use of language tells us something about Eridian language but tells us way more about Ryland Grace's translation choices.

Fffffffffff this dovetails so well with my unwritten space story where the team linguist is NOT the archeologist but rather the techie. Dr Zeke Arnolds my irritating beloved, you coulda been played by Ryan Gosling *wipes tear* .....man, Zeke woulda been so rude to Grace about literally everything. [Zeke Arnolds is of course named after the legendary Arnold Zwicky, styled after my irl colleague REDACTED, and fueled by the sort of linguist rage and pedantry you can only acquire in graduate school. Ah, memories...]

On a side note, Rocky is named after a common noun of English that presumably has nothing to do with whatever meaning is name has in Eridian. The name "Rocky" is corefferent with his actual name but it does not translate it. What if Grace's name is the same way? The name Rocky gives him doesn't mean grace, it means This Guy. But the point of the story is that these guys are exactly the same, so what if Rocky assigned him some epithet that was a common noun in Eridian, based on the substance he's composed of

Rocky: can't proceed. Grace all over floor.

Grace: I - what?

Rocky: not human Grace. Just grace.

Grace: ...describe what that word means

Rocky: small liquid contained. Grace.

Grace: ....

Grace: YOU NAMED ME PUDDLE

....okay this was in no way the point of the post but my new headcanon is that Grace's Eridian name is "Puddleglum." Because he is a sad contained liquid.

Grace: actually my name means "divine mercy freely given"

Rocky: Understand. Humans bad at names
