Ren Of Rats

Idk man I’m just a mentally ill nerd who writes occasionally

[renofrats]

Welcome!

You can call me Ren or Rae. I use they/he/she pronouns and my gender is whatever makes the joke land. I’m 22, so not opposed to writing 18+ topics. Minors be warned, there is infrequently nsfw here.

I’m planning for this to be my place to post writing (I’m too embarrassed to post on main). Probably a bit of fanfic and a lot of self indulgence. I have a particular interest in writing historical fiction, whether that’s 1800’s, medieval times, or even prehistory, and the DCU (Conner Kent my beloved). If you have any requests or ideas feel free to send an ask!

Currently spinning in the mental microwave: Project Hail Mary

So many frog themed blogs are genderfluid...

Anyone want some rat flavoured gender fluid

[forgetting I am mentally ill] why do I feel so Bad

james ortiz provided some of his own personal rocky backstory on the sag aftra podcast, transcribed by me because we all have to be miserable about it together.

link to the podcast, this section below is from timestamp 24.35

“andy weir provided a packet to the creature shop that was like a packet of eridian biology and stuff but there wasn’t much about eridian culture or eridian sociology and i made a bunch of choices going in because i just needed to have like a ‘who am i?’ right? 

[…] and i made a decision that rocky’s species, that eridians are really social animals that in fact are like a beehive or a pod of dolphins - it’s a unique and really integrated ecosystem of everybody doing their [specific] part. and the fact that rocky had to fly that ship for about 45 years - longer than grace has been alive, i wanna point that out - he’s been alone on that ship, having to run that by himself and- ryan and i would talk about that, one day we sat down and he was like “so what’s the movie from rocky’s perspective?” and i was like “oh it’s like ‘alien’, […] like he’s in a ‘contagion’ movie by himself and he has no idea what’s going on.”

he’s basically in castaway by himself which of course ryan is too but like, one reason why we never cut to the past of rocky is like, i think it was really horrifying! i don’t think rocky has slept in however many years and so a thing i was really struggling with is this idea of like “rocky must watch sleep” because how do you make that a need as opposed to like, a cute idea? and i just had to make the decision that […] he has a lot of unprocessed trauma around the things that he doesn’t understand and how much he is blaming himself because he’s the guy who fixes, he’s the guy who fixes and there was something really freeing about deciding that rocky was a deeply emotional, deeply anxious, deeply horrified person - being - that is trying to move through that in some way and how that affects the early scenes with him until there’s a point in the story where you can see we’ve physically softened rocky’s behaviour, because he’s finally feeling more safe and ok but all of that lore, all of that information [was essential].

i also decided, this is just a small nerdy thing, that there was actually some of his family, was on that ship too.”
