Just leveled up and my DM said theyâre keeping a tally of how many times my character uses her Bloodhunter rite #whatdatmean
Friend in an alleyway | my wife sent me this photo the other day and said "you HAVE to draw this." and I agreed completely <:
oops I was told you can only see the photo if you have a bsky account, so here's a screenshot of it!
The Bloodstone family is complicated. Not because it's big, or the relationships between people are complex or vague, or anything like that.
It's because knowing what's canon is complicated.
See, Ulysses Bloodstone is a character from the 70s. He existed for three years, died, and only ever came back for flashbacks.
Then in the late 90s, we're introduced to his daughter Elsa Bloodstone in the series Bloodstone.
Then, she appears in the comedy series Nextwave, which intentionally wrote characters out of character for comedy.
Nextwave becomes massively popular, and Nextwave!Elsa is now the canon Elsa Bloodstone going forward.
Nextwave!Elsa is a completely different character to Bloodstone!Elsa, even down to her backstory: Bloodstone!Elsa only learned her father was a monster hunter years after his death. Nextwave!Elsa was trained from childhood.
We later get a brother, Cullen, who was also trained from childhood but got trapped in an alternate dimension he was sent into for training when Ulysses died before he could retrieve him.
So Elsa's origin story is now clearly not canon, but also nothing is given in it's place.
Until 2015, where a miniseries gives us a new, Nextwave!Elsa compliant backstory. Trained from childhood, Cullen mentioned, even explains her going from a blonde to a redhead. It does seemingly change elements of Ulysses' death, but broad strokes are similar enough.
Only problem is, this miniseries takes place on Battleworld during the Secret Wars event. With very few exceptions, and all of them specifically being on a specific spaceship which Elsa was not, everyone on Battleworld are not the Earth-616 versions of themselves. They're different variants from across the multiverse.
So this shouldn't be the backstory of 616!Elsa, Nextwave!Elsa.
However, during the miniseries, Elsa loses a hand and makes a new one out of a bunch of Bloodgems a variant of Ulysses has been collecting.
And ever since, 616!Elsa Bloodstone has had the Bloodgem Hand.
So that was the canon Elsa Bloodstone somehow.
So two storylines that shouldn't be canon are and a storyline that should be canon isn't.

the internet is a place for reading wikipedia articles and watching every movie for free. social media is an invasive species. never forget this
fundamentally a good man
the thing that i adore the most about project hail mary is the fact that, after travelling god knows how far, saving multiple worlds, and living on an alien planet, grace ends the film not as some big hero, but as a teacher
its just so nice that the film sits there and says âryland graces job as a teacher is importantâ, because its very common in these kinda films that the protagonist starts off as a teacher purely to give a bit of exposition before the government person shows up and goes âyoure the best (insert science here)ist in the world, and we need your help to save the worldâ or whatever, and i assumed at first that thats what this film was doing as well
but its not
grace starts the film as a teacher, he goes through the film as a teacher, and he ends the film as a teacher. he is a teacher to his students. he is a teacher to the astronauts. he is a teacher to rocky. and at the end of it all, he is a teacher to his students.
ryland grace saves both worlds not because he is some big hero, but because he is a teacher. and his reward at the end of it all is that he gets to keep teaching. and isnt that beautiful
I was so scared they were heading for a romance subplot but congrats to Project Hail Mary for going for the far funnier option of 'Trolley Operator' and 'Guy She Is Actively Tying To The Tracks'. What a dynamic. Movie of the year.
Some Project Hail Mary as text posts because I havenât been able to stop thinking about this book or movie
part two | part three | part four
project hail mary and the martian are perfect foils of each other.
the martian is the story of one man stranded on mars with barely enough food and supplies to last him a calendar month, let alone the 14 that it inevitably takes to bring him home.
mark watney's rescue means millions of dollars in unplanned expenditures, cooperation between multiple nations that frankly have no stake in the life of one american astronaut, and risking the lives of 5 of his crew members. it is a story that makes you tackle the fundamental question of: "how much is one human life worth?"
the answer, the book (and its equally well-executed movie adaptation) offers, is everything.
they could have simply called it a day and told him that it was untenable, that they cannot possibly be asked to risk the lives of the rest of the ares iii crew. but they did not. they did not, because they deemed that no cost was too high if it meant that there was even a snowball's chance in hell that they could bring that one man home.
project hail mary, on the other hand, is a complete 180.
here, the fate of an entire planet's survival rests upon the shoulders of one rather unremarkable man. ryland grace is a middle school science teacher, whose only claim to fame is a controversial research paper. it is a story that forces you to confront the question: "how much do you personally owe humanity when its fate hangs in the balance?"
once again, the answer is everything.
ryland is not the brightest person on the planet, nor is he the bravest. he doesn't choose to be involved in saving earth, and he certainly doesn't choose to be sent on a suicide mission away from it. in project hail mary, one man has no choice but to shoulder this burden for the sake of humanity. and, it turns out, he's not the only one carrying this responsibility.
somehow, both books provide the same answer and message, only in somewhat different ways. they both serve to convey that life, no matter the scale, is worth preserving.
that when it comes to one man stranded 140 million miles away, no cost is too high, no risk too big, because his life matters. he matters. and he matters not just because he volunteered to go up there, or because it wasn't his fault, or because they know he's out there. he matters because he exists, and that is more than enough to do everything possible to bring him back.
or that no personal cost is too high to pay if you are the one person that can actually save humanity. the people may be faceless, nameless crowds to you, but their lives are worth saving simply because they exist. they exist, and that is plenty reason to doom yourself to certain death if it means that there is even a single chance in hell that you will save them. you don't have to be talented, or remarkable, or necessary to matter.
you exist, and that is enough for you to matter.

Something about a schoolteacher being the one to save not just Earth, but Erid, too. Something about a schoolteacher being the one to lead First Contact with an intelligent alien species. Something about a schoolteacher teaching an alien about physics and biology and science and language. Something about a schoolteacher sacrificing his life to save his friend and an entire alien species. Something about a schoolteacher surviving all of that and thinking, what am I going to do with the rest of my life here on this alien planet? Something about the schoolteacherâs answer to that question being teach.
love them so muchhh
I loved project hail mary and little rocky <3
