Here's what those screenshots were from. Only makes sense with audio
This took me the better part of the week, but I'm proud of it. I want to start figuring out how to better utilize the camera tool and possibly adding more frames, but that's something I need to work out with simple shapes. I'm not going to post about that
hello I'm back(ish)
have some high republic style obi-wan!
Obi-Wan: is this really the most effective seating arrangement?
Cody: just drive, Jedi boy
Obi-Wan: Jedi boy?!?
Cody: Sorry. Jedi boy, sir
Obi-wan: …

something that i DO find fascinating abt both phm and interpretations of it is when folks say things along the lines of “the point of grace’s lack of attachments isn’t that he’s aroace, the point of grace’s lack of attachments is that he’s refused to open himself up enough to form ANY close bonds because he’s a coward” because like. not only is it very possible for both to be true, i think that reading both as being the case continues to enhance the story AND speaks a very honest truth about how being aroace might have affected his life?
like. imagine you are grace. you have a life you enjoy where you get to teach kids you’re fond of about a subject you love. you’ve been hanging out with your friend marissa weekly for years (!) and you have a lot of peers on project hail mary who you respect and even have fun with. but! you’re also like 40, and you know how the world works - at the end of the day, at the end of the project, all of those people will go back to their parents and families and partners. the people whose names are on their emergency contact forms and birth certificates and marriage licenses and apartment leases. no matter how much you care about them, and no matter how much they care about you, there is always someone else in their life who is Above you, and Before you, because That’s How The World Works.
so like… yeah. lmao. aroace grace not opening himself up all the way because he anticipates pain and wants to avoid that is a kind of protective hedging that i find very likely for him to engage in? even if he opens himself up to the people around him, the fact is that most of those people will only reciprocate to whatever degree they/society deem acceptable for friendship, even if they like him a lot.
which is why, imo, the very careful portrayal of grace and rocky’s friendship in the phm film reads as extremely aroace-coded. because it’s not “rocky specifically is Special and Likable in a way which fixes all of grace’s hangups and allows him to open up” - it’s “rocky has a partner to go home to, but on multiple occasions, puts grace Above and Before that in a way which grace is unused to, because grace comes from a society which culturally and legally devalues the types of relationships he wants and holds most dear.” and once rocky shows that he is willing to reciprocate friendship and care to a degree grace could never expect from anyone on earth, grace no longer needs to maintain the kind of emotional defenses he always has. grace likes rocky and wants to be friends from the moment they meet, of course, but only lets himself form SUCH a close bond after rocky demonstrates that he, too, does not place an earth-society-style limit on the strength of their friendship. and they’re both better off for it!
she's hades she's god she's jesus christ she's mary magdalene she's the grim reaper she's the virgin mother she's judas she's eve she's pontius pilate she's all four horsemen of the apocalypse she's the earth herself. her name is eva stratt and she listens to harry styles and she got taken to court for pirating minesweeper.
What about Luke? I still imagine him as an Special Agent from the 80s and this would absolutely be his fit. Of course all black 😎 This is really my all time favourite AU 🤩 still thinking about writing a fanfiction myself 🤔😅
Padawan obi wan 🔥🔥🔥
A Cody I did to warm up!!! (and then inevitably go back to every hour as a distraction from my actual work💀)
Tender codywan desert husbands if you feel like drawing them? 🥺💗
yessss 🙌🏻✨
Ahhh yes!
Eva Stratt's pov of phm is kinda insane really. Because it's basically being told, hey humanity WILL go extinct soon. but we've decided that if one person makes it through all the levels of the Torment Nexus our chances of survival might increase. they might also not. Anyway. We think you're the best person to do this. Your reward is that everyone will hate you forever.
And you're like well. I'd rather trust myself to the fate of the world than anyone else. And I'd rather not let anyone else suffer the Torment Nexus just because of my own feelings. That seems kinda selfish. Alright sure.
So you enter the Torment Nexus. Each level has you pressing buttons like, [abduct innocent scientists to your vat: chances of humanity's survival increases by 0.005%] [everyone disliked that] [congrats! your moral goodness has decreased!].
The later levels get even worse. [blow up Antarctica: chances of humanity's survival increases by, ummm who knows ????] [total humans negatively affected: ????] [congrats! you're an ecoterrorist!].
Then you reach the final level. It reads: [through this door you'll break the news to your friend that he needs to die.] And you're like, wait he has to die??? I have to tell him?? But that's incredibly fucked up. After I went through the Torment Nexus as well. But it's the last level. So oh well. I can do this I suppose. Rather me than anyone else.
You enter the level and you friend is standing next to a cliff. You go over to him and say, hey this really fucking sucks but I've just learnt you need to jump off the cliff. Then we might be able to save humanity for real though. Maybe billions of people can survive if this works.
Then he turns to you and is like, are you fucking insane? And starts sprinting away from the cliff. Suddenly you have a gun in your hand. You're like, no wait. I don't want to do this. For real? I gotta shoot him for real? [Chances of survival if he lives: 0%. Chances of survival if he dies: maybe NOT 0%......????]. You pull the trigger. [congrats! you're a murderer!]
Work in progresssss
The codywan bug has got me
to absolutely no one’s surprise
Hey so kilawater’s tidally locked series on ao3 is actually so incredible. Idk if they have a tumblr but I needed to draw their Cody design (design is not mine just my interpretation)
I had to figure out how to actually USE Tumblr for a change, because WOW! @wyrdpsylla made this gorgeous, gorgeous drawing of Cody in my Tidally Locked AU (or, as it still lives in my head, my Mando!Cody AU.
It's so fabulous I'm crying! I am in awe of their talent!

Thnk you for the inspiration 😌
“You’re quite heavy.”
“And you’re long,” Cody mumbles back inanely, last word caught in a yawn. “Use your Force and make me float, I don’t care. I’m not moving.”
“It’s not my Force— Are you asleep already?” Obi-Wan pokes Cody in the shoulder. “Cody?” No answer but a little snuffle into Obi-Wan’s tunic.
Obi-Wan shakes his head with a snort and goes back to his data pad, one hand gently stroking Cody’s neck.
Spoilers for the Project Hail Mary director's commentary but they confirmed what I thought was just my own wacky hare-brained theory is actually 100% true.
There's that scene where Grace is sitting alone in the Don't Go Crazy room looking at an image of a beach, and he looks to the side and sees himself walking towards him. Waves splash over his sneakers, and you wonder for a tiny moment if this is real, maybe it's one of his memories. But then, the ship alerts that it's decelerating, he rushes upstairs, and the moment is never brought up again.
The version of Grace walking on the beach is wearing the same outfit that he wears at the end of the movie on Erid.
Chris and Phil confirmed in the commentary that in that tiny moment, Grace is getting a glimpse at his future self and his future life. He hasn't even met Rocky yet at this point, he barely remembers anything about the mission he's on, but he's promised a happy ending. He just doesn't know it.
so when i was a kid a read this story where a boy gets turned into a mouse by evil witches. at the end (spoilers) him and his beloved grandmother manage to slaughter all the witches but they do NOT manage to turn him back to a human child. he stays a mouse. the grandmother rebuilds her home to be mouse accessible. and they discuss the fact that he's aging like a mouse, so he probably only has a few years to live; but it's ok, because the grandmother confesses that she ALSO only has a few years to live and they both agree that they wouldn't want to live without the other. So everything is alright then, and they're happy, and that's the end of the story. it's probably been over two decades since i read it and quite frankly i am still processing the intertwining concepts of love and mortality but anyway that's not my point. my point is that Rocky did not die of acute radiation sickness because he spent enough time shielded by astrophage that his body was able to handle the damage, but holy shit does he have every type of cancer. he didn't die entering grace's atmosphere but all of his organs caught fire. I repeat — his internal organs caught fire. he spent several decades in a low gravity environment. Do you know what human bodies do in low gravity? it's not good man. 20% muscle loss in two weeks. 1% bone density loss every month. Maybe carapaces and low organic matter would handle the change better, but idk, it might actually be worse.
anyway my point is, actually, i do think that Rocky and Grace would get to grow old together.
i know i'm op but op the idea of Grace arriving at Erid on the verge of death, recovering, and then living a long and full (maybe not especially healthy) life, vs Rocky arriving home a trimphant hero, a miraculous survivor of a thousand calamaties only to at long last have to pay the toll, dying tragically young, I'm.
Rocky and Grace jokingly comparing the pros and cons of bipedal vs pentapedal joint pain. Rocky wearing the xenonite exo-suit because it actually helps keep his carapace from collapsing to the ground. Grace affectionately bumping his cane against it in morse code because of course their stupid ernglish pidgin isn't enough; now that everyone know english they also need a secret language that's just for them.
Grace in his motorized bubble scooter touring the city. Naturally, Rocky's going to keep him company by riding in the stupid sidecar, how would he explain everything if he was walking beside him? And of course Rocky's telling people to repeat things and his voice is weirdly pitchy, Grace is there and human hearing is awful. It would be rude to talk normally.
Rocky pulling out the old hamster ball and curling up inside. And he knows, he knows its bad posture, but right now it hurts less. Grace curled up around him, the exterior of the ball a carefully calibrated 39 C. They are both hiding from well meaning physical therapists. Whispering doesn't actually do anything in that regard, but Rocky finds whispering hilarious for some reason (Eridian equiv of helium infused squeaky voice).
Gravity as Erid's love for them, a painful embrace they wouldn't trade for anything.
They get to grow old together. It's not enough time, but its so much more than they thought they would have; it's surprisingly easy to be okay with it. It's a tragedy from every angle except perhaps the inside.
well. a swift kick in the gut.
