when the persona you made eats you; when the performance youve been putting on eats you; when the name they gave you eats you; when the image people made of you eats you; when the role you were assigned eats you; when the you that other people see or even made for you or you made for them takes over the you that you know and eats you alive.

me when im reading a good book, and it’s a good book, and i love a good book

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

Do you think Stratt arrangedin advance to give Grace an appendectomy just in case, like how they do to people who go to Arctic

idk why i keep getting asks about the project hail mary characters like i know them personally, but i have several answers for this one:

realistic but boring: grace was already appendix-free before stratt recruited him, because appendicitis just seems like the kind of thing that would happen to him

also realistic but more compelling, especially if you're a certain kind of sicko: yeah she yoinked that thang

unlikely but funny/pervert answer:

eridians live for a very long time and im curious if they experience the passage of it differently. was the amount of time rocky was gone for considered to be long? it is in human standards. rocky seemed distraught by the separation - but there is also the layer of trauma from the loss of the crew, and all of that time spent alone.

im thinking about Rocky parting from Adrian - and gone longer than expected (due to eridians not knowing about relativity, loss of the crew). at what point did they start to wonder if rocky was making it back? did they start wondering at all? maybe it felt like months to them because of the nature of eridian life cycles.

i keep thinking about Adrian talking to Grace, and Grace explaining, in equivalents, how long his mission was, why the crew was so small, about the coma (and the idea of being paralyzed and unconscious for extended periods of time is distressing and unnatural to humans) being not only logistically efficient but psychologically necessary, how he was never supposed to go home, how much time feels different when you're alone and confused and scared.

Through all of it, Adrian is thinking of Rocky.

Through talking to Grace, in expressing his humanity, Adrian begins to understand the full extent of time Rocky spent in space.

Adrian feeling heart break. They make the dome as big as they can. They give this creature every one of its comforts it mentions in its stories, in passing, in confidence to Rocky. Fine tuning to its preferences. Doing everything they can to make it feel like the home they were taken from because its species was terrified and out of options. They do it for Grace, and they do it for Rocky.

Grace telling Adrian before Rocky that he was taken from his home without his consent. It comes up naturally in conversations about the fun and exciting challenges that arise in designing a habitat for the human. He brushes it off but Rocky was right about human biology so noisy and so telling.
