i need to rotate cecil markowitz in my brain a little he does not get enough attention. i could elaborate on him feeling like an outcast or my headcanons for him being clumsy (gross motor, not fine motor) in headcanon bullet point form but i could also just write a fic

how he feels like an outcast within the hermes cabin even if he got claimed quickly because he has none of the apparent traits of hermes, how he gravitates towards the unclaimed kids and become fiercely protective of some of them. how he fights against the unconscious sort of hierarchy that forms in the hermes cabin with the claimed vs the unclaimed kids. how he was at camp already very young and was the only one to see luke as not the kind perfect counsellor everyone else saw but he couldn't tell anyone because Nobody Criticises Luke. the one time he does it annabeth almost kills him and refuses to teach him knife fighting anymore. she's the only knife fighter at camp so he's left to teach himself and it leaves him to be injured all the time, which is how he meets will and becomes friends with him

i will elaborate on this later

@re-pulse you wanted cecil stuff? here's a little bit. send me an ask about it and ill elaborate further later! /nf

i don’t think a lot of people understand how important it is to me that Ryland Grace, the main character from a popular book and movie, being commonly headcanoned as aroace with little to no romance involved. his relation to rocky as a companion and best friend is the relationship that people talk about the most. the power of friendship saved the day with no unnecessary b-plot romance. local man loved humanity and his alien best friend so much he saved both of their galaxies and planets. that’s so awesome, sometimes i’d never thought i’d see something like this

[aroarolibrary]

I’ve been meaning to make this for everyone asking for weeks and I finally found the time to do it. Thank you everyone who loved this cover, it is truly overwhelming the positive response this has gotten. For all of you that wanted a printable book cover this is for you!

Top = dimensions for a hard cover.

Bottom = dimensions for a soft cover.

And, because I am worried about Tumblr messing with the quality I’ve officially set up a Google drive to share these as PDFs along with the high quality tiffs for anyone that wants to do a custom hardcover (Please see this amazing bookbinding job by @autumn--stars!!!)

Additional thanks to @dathen who let me quote this post for the back panel of this cover~

Thank you again everyone and enjoy!

i think if he were to learn anything about the aroace label it would be through his students

[shrugsinchinese]

Immense gratitude

[noworneverphantom]

The headcanon that Ryland Grace is aroace is so important to me. Because the respresentation of his relationship with Rocky being the most important relationship in his life is SO meaningful.

Like that’s just his buddy. His little guy. A friend, and that’s ENOUGH for him. It’s the most meaningful relationship he has and will have and he’s perfectly content with it

Has this been done yet?

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

I’ve found my home 🏠🚀

(500 Miles by by Peter, Paul, and Mary. THAT’S HIS SONG THAT’S HIS SONG 😭😭😭😭 Grace who misses home. Grace who knows there are nothing left to remember him. Grace who finds home with Rocky.)

wow that's so crazy this sketch looks almost exactly like the Othello revision I'm supposed to be doing before my exam tomorrow... how nuts is that

The autism is taking its hold.

Do you guys wanna know what really fucking GETS ME about Ryland 'stupidpatheticwetcatman' Grace? The fact that he CARED.

He cared so fucking much.

And that's why Stratt had to send him into space.

She found cowardice, yes. But she also found a teacher who kept snacks in the class for his kids. A teacher that has extra packs of pencils stored away in a spare cabinet, bought from his own budget. The cool coworker that bought them all skittles while he was blowing the government budget on literally making a mini venus out of duct tape and wood panelling.

So yes, Stratt found a coward, but she also found someone who had a huge heart.

A heart big enough to shoulder the weight of saving an entire planet. And that's why Stratt had to send him.

Anyone else would have given up immediately. They would have woken up, realized their stakes, and they would have decided that it wasn't worth it. Humanity wasn't worth it. Grace, himself, even threatened to sabotage the mission. (Hence why she had to fuck with his memories but that could be a separate post on its own)

But Grace saw humanity at its whole. And that included quite literally being put in a place where his right to autonomy has been violated. And he still saved them.

And he did it because saving them included saving Rocky.

On Earth, he had no one. He cared for everyone and had no one. He was a deeply lonely person. And that changed when he found Rocky. Because suddenly he had a best friend to save, too. And suddenly the weight of saving a world- two worlds- didn't feel so heavy anymore.

[samisntthere]

the joy of project hail mary is an autistic coded person literally crossing the stars to save the life of his autistic coded best friend (qpr style) and there is just. hardly any media that emphasises the value of platonic relationships so much and seems to understand how these affect autistic people on a baseline level. grace abandons any prospects of traditional romance or marriage to be with his best friend for the rest of his life, and for my money, he never goes back to earth — because he’s found everything he could wish for.

i love my space buddies <333
