i find it very funny how Andy Weir made a complex living organism with insanely cool biology and most of that stuff didn't make it to the book, let alone the movie

and its just like, oh yeah they have two completely different circulatory systems thats canon I guess

If I had a nickel for every time Ryan Gosling played as a stressed out spaceman in a visually stunning movie with a hell of a banger OST, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice 🧑‍🚀🌑

So I’m listening to the audiobook for what is probably the 49th time, and decided to immortalise my first thought when I first listened to this part.

Stratt just collecting herself various scientists of varying willingness to be there and completely unconcerned by the scientists who are protesting that they don’t belong there.

Go forth and gather your scientists Stratt, it’s so fucking funny.

i love the women of project hail mary

i love annie shapiro and her not having any filter "sorry i had to go use the restroom, i was peeing myself" and her nerdy excitment to get to learn from grace

i love olesya ilyukhina, her bravery and childlike innocense, hugging the earth's dicatator like nothing, taking her teddy bear to a suicide mission, and literally sacrificing her life for humanity without a second thought

i loved dr. lokken's pride and her beef with grace about his theory

i love eva stratt and her love for humaity being so big that she had to destroy herself to give humanity a real chance to have a future

[whiteflwrs]

can’t and won’t stop thinking about eva stratt and ryland grace as two sides of the same sacrificial coin: one who offered herself to the cause as the world’s scapegoat and celebrated by no one, and one who is made the lamb without his consent yet celebrated as the savior he never agreed to be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

and it’s exactly in said coin’s nature — two sides always meant to be tied to another, and never meant to face each other again.
