i dont know whats going on

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I know there’s a lot of angst potential in Grace not getting to choose how he died or what he brought along for the trip, but honestly given how oblivious he was about his importance to the mission as a whole? Or to the fact that he was literally IN astronaut training?

Stratt could have been asking him “how would you like to die?” randomly over breakfast and he’d have just brushed it off as Stratt Being A Weirdo.

more grocky clicker training thoughts (a comment i got inspired me, forgot about it, and just remembered about it now)

Rocky realises just how badly Grace can talk about himself sometimes, and it irritates Rocky to no end!! Grace is the amazing leaky space blob that saved his life, twice!! and his whole planet, and he dares to say mean things to himself?? yeah no.

So Rocky does some research on the human thinking machine and finds out about positive affirmations!! he knows he cannot get Grace to do this.. on purpose!

so, while Grace may talk down to himself, he'll throw himself a compliment sometimes!! So Rocky uses the good ol pavlov affect as per usual, following up the noise with agreements and a bit of praise

Grace somehow still has 'no idea' btw. He's just all of a sudden really inclined to be kinder to himself.

Imagine seeing an interesting beetle keep confidently walking up to random other bugs trying to fight them, losing, and then trying again. That's weird enough to be interesting. You got nothing better to do so you watch it go. It gets flipped over so you take a little straw and help it upwards again, so it gets up and skitters to go fight yet another strange bug and lose. But it lives and keeps going. You keep watching this crazy little creature. There's a puddle in the way it's going, so you put a stick over the puddle so it won't drown because you want to see what dumb thing it will try next. It falls off the stick so you get another straw to gently nudge it out of the water. Determined, the beetle gets back on its five or six little feet and keeps going.

I think that's what it's like from the other side, whenever there's a legendary hero who is favoured by a god. You are a cool, shiny bug, determined to do strange and inadvisable weird shit, and they want to know what the hell you're planning to do next.

Shit must be wild for Adrian though.

Your partner since you were young goes on a mission to save your dying planet and doesn’t return as expected. He is assumed lost in space, and everyday things get more dire on the surface. You miss him terribly. And then one day, an ALIEN SPACECRAFT shows up with not only the solution to your dying planet but also your partner.

And you’re probably thrilled but also thrown for a loop because what do you mean 1. Aliens are real 2. They breathe highly flammable gas and 3. Your partner made friends with it. And said alien looks like nothing you’ve ever heard, and has a sense you don’t have at all and is also apparently dying of nutritional loss? And your partner is like codependent as hell with it, and suddenly your entire life changes overnight. Also your partner is himself but also completely different in ways you don’t understand, in ways that are sometimes scary because all that time in space changes a person.

I don’t know how anyone would react to that, cus damn that’s overwhelming, but I think that’s an interesting dynamic to have with an alien. Your partner’s closet companion besides you is an alien. It feels like the alien knows your partner better than you do some days. The alien also helped save your entire planet.

Anyway the dynamic between Grace and Adrian has to be BUCKWILD.

One of the reasons people headcanon Grace as aromantic is the unfortunately realistic scene where they go "you don't have a family or a loved one" as if that's enough of a justification to send him on a suicide mission. As if not having a family makes Grace inherently less valuable and means he should be more willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

Grace wasn't sad and lonely, he was happy, he had a good life, he very much did not want to die. They have to do a looney tunes chase sequence and drug him because Grace was *very* unwilling to be the sacrificial lamb. Humanity's savior was dragged kicking and screaming into the role and called selfish for daring to be a coward, as if most of us wouldn't be.

And then he befriends Rocky, who never demands a sacrifice from him, who willingly prolongs his journey home so Grace can go back to his. Rocky has a mate back home and his species depends on his return, and still risks his life to save his squishy human friend. And Grace returns the favor.

And thus the power of friendship saves two planets.

I watched 'Project Hail Mary' with my (conservative) grandparents and at the end I was talking about how I liked that there was no weird romance subplot. My Grammy immediately argued that "Yes there was", my initial thought was that she meant between Stratt and Grace so my sister and I both started to disagree until she said "Yeah, they were both willing to die for each other" at which point we realized our Grandmother was a Grace/Rocky shipper...

Stratt’s ridiculous soft spot for Grace is my favorite thing ever. Most stoic woman alive who won’t attach herself to anything, and some middle school teacher that she’s just dragging around with her for moral support and occasionally science explanations. And he’s fully convinced that this is just how she is and there’s nothing particularly different about the way she treats him. Grace buddy you’re her lapdog
