Rocco Is A Disgrace To The Eridian Race @rocky-is-a-rock - Tumblr Blog

Hi hi hi! Me and my friend are both obsessed with Project Hail Mary (movie) and while sending posts to her I realized… wait I should be reblogging these. So yea. Hurray for tumblr culture!

My main blog (@helloitsmaplesyrup) is all about the band ghost and features both my writing and art!

I hope that I can find time to soon make my own PHM art and maybe some writing.

Tbh, I think everyone getting very attached to Tall Adrian™️ kinda makes them miss the potential of the canon reality that Eridians average at 50cm tall.

Grace is living on a planet of toddler sized rocks with twice his strength. If at ANY point he forgets to look where he’s going he is Going Trip Over An Ambassador. Unstoppable force vs. immovable object except Grace is very much stoppable.

Eridians either get used to talking to his shins, craning on their tippy toes to get a good look at his face, or begin forcing him to sit criss-cross applesauce for literally any important meeting. Picture him joining the Erid equivalent of a UN press conference and having to curl up his awkward water body and hug his knees for the whole thing.

He can conceivably be picked up by an alien the size of a hard helmet against his will. He’s surrounded by space roombas with perfect memories and attention spans shorter than his San Francisco classroom who can’t believe he’s incapable of solving complex math in three seconds. He has step stools around his house for them to climb so he can feel like he’s “looking them in the eye” even though Eridians think that’s stupid since they lack both eyes and directional perception.

His students are probably all palm sized. Once he starts teaching he’s fighting cuteness aggression all day every day. They could all break his fingers with hands the size of a button. That knowledge does not stop his cuteness aggression. THIS IS GRACE’S REALITY.

I have the black box data. All of it.

After sifting through hundreds of photos... I have realized that every time Simon takes a photo in the SM-13, he's pulling up a frame to a stop motion animation.

And it can be played back as video.

So, I took each black box photo and compiled them together. You can now watch Simon's entire journey from the SM-13's camera like found footage.

You can also gain access to Simon's amazing photography portfolio from my master reference project, as well as the video for yourself.

Please, have a watch. It's terrifying. I feel like a C.O.I. lab tech delving into something I really shouldn't, and it's a blast!

Uhh this is a small half drabble half idea of an aroace moment between Rocky and Grace. Let me know if I’m totally like off mark. (Wrote and posted this in the span of fifteen minutes so there’s prolly mistakes)

Rocky proposing Grace join him and Adrian as a third and Grace being like “wait wait no Rocky we’re good friends but I don’t want to sleep with you and I don’t even know Adrain, I mean I’m sure they’re lovely but I-“ and Rocky cutting Grace off to be like “no not to mate, Grace body is disgust and not compatible, Rocky not want to mate but Rocky want Grace to be included. Rocky want Grace to feel… Rocky need word.”

Grace is knocked out of his spiral by Rocky’s insult and his need for translation. “What is it similar to Rocky?” Rocky holds out two appendages and says “like like like,” making the distance between each claw grow with each repetition. “Oh…” Grace feels a pit forming in the bottom of his stomach but continues translating for the sake of clarity “ I think the word you’re looking for is love.”

Rocky tilts his body to the side like a dog tilting its head. “Uhh it’s complicated. There’s a lot of different meanings to the word, but I think you want to say what you and Adrian have. You are mates with each other…so you love each other?” Rocky jumps up and down “yes yes yes Rocky want to love grace.” The robotic translator obviously not conveying the excitement from Rocky’s shrieks.

Grace winces a bit, “But Rocky I- I don’t think I can reciprocate that. I don’t think there would be an equal exchange. It wouldn’t be fair to you either. I…” Grace trails off and shudders a bit at the vague memory of a past partner breaking up with him and using the same words against him. He brushes away a tear he didn’t realize was falling down his face also emotions threatened to overwhelm him.

Rocky sways from side to side vigorously and taps the zenonite with his back leg in irritation. “No no no Grace stupid, bound by human logic. Rocky not care if Grace can’t return. Rocky just want Grace here. Rocky wants Grace to be close and stay close. Rocky doesn’t mind if Grace not feel same way. Besides human kissing ritual is disgust.”

Grace laughs a bit at how Rocky shrinks down in his ball, releasing a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. “Thank you Rocky that means a lot. And I do want to stay close to you too, bud.”

Rocky waves two arms in celebration before plastering himself to the side of the xenonite ball and stretching upwards, “Rocky Grace hug now? Question.” Grace lets out wet chuckle and drapes himself over the xenonite ball as he closes his eyes and rests his head on the top.

One of the many downsides of the Hail Mary being a suicide mission is that Armando is likely only equipped to keep astronauts alive for as long as they're useful to the mission.

Obviously this is going to be reflected in the amount of painkillers and general medicines he's been supplied with— enough for three astronauts to last several months to a few years max— but also… there's really no point in keeping any of those astronauts alive after they stop being useful to the mission.

Grace finds this out when he gets to a certain point in his starvation on the journey to Erid and, instead of offering medical advice, Armando announces that Doctor Grace is far too sick to continue being of use and so it’s recommended that his fellow crew members euthanise him to save on resources.

That is. Not a good day for shipboard morale.
