i noticed that grace wears a shirt with kliban cat on it which is cute because i have a plush of said cat

[extremelysmallclown]

i want this shirt so bad. i wish i had a million dollars to buy it

For those who don't know what Grace's cat t-shirt is.

A lot of people think the design on Grace's shirt is new.

Nope. That's a Kliban Cat San Fransisco shirt, originally from the 70s.

B. Kliban was an American cartoonist. In 1975 he published a collection of cartoons, simply titled Cat. They were random ink drawings of unnamed cartoon cats.

The books was a huge bestseller. Soon there was "Kliban cat" merch of every kind, t-shirts, Christmas cards, towels, plushies, calendars and ceramic figures. If you lived in the 70s and 80s (I did) Kliban cats were everywhere. (I still have a lot of Kliban Cat stuff.)

Kliban made t-shirt designs for a lot of tourist states and cities. Includng San Fransisco.

Why the movie chose to have Grace wearing a long out of print tee is a mystery, unless it's mentioned in the novel. Maybe it belonged to one of the scientists who died. Or it might be his.

You can get all kinds of Kliban Cat merch now, including puzzles and calendars.

b. kliban actually lived in san francisco so i think it could be a nod to grace living there as well! when i have visited san francisco i saw lots of kliban cat all over the place! i was so excited to see it in the movie!

Few things in Lars and the real girl that mean a lot to me:

- despite Bianca being an anatomically accurate sex doll, Lars never touches her or even looks at her with any sort of sexual intent. There's something deeply soothing and comforting about the way he treats her and looks at her. (I think reading Lars as asexual is honestly a really good way to look at his character too. I feel like having no interest in sex makes it hard for people to connect with their partner, especially if that partner is allo. Lars never seems interested in his coworkers porno talk at work, he never talks about or really views Bianca as anything sexual, he never entertains or answers questions about Bianca and him that are sexual in nature, and when he's asking Gus what made him finally feel like a man, he asks almost hesitantly- like he doesn't want to- if it was sex.)

- Lars does not like to be touched. He's working on it as the movie goes on, but it's something that never gets fully "fixed", and I don't think it does even in the future. I'm sure it gets better, gets less painful for him, but I don't think he'd enjoy hugs or prolonged touch anyways. Idk something about Lars constantly backing away from people who get too close to him, constantly trying to remove himself from other people in his personal space- it just feels really good to see. I'm sure this is something that made a lot of people feel sad for him, but honestly it's just comforting to me.

- the whole bowling scene. It was just Lars and Margo- until the group arrived and I was a little scared they'd be mean, but no. They just join the two and they all have fun. There's high fives when someone manages to get a good throw, but Lars is never forced or pressured to share a high five. Besides just that, he's there with them, and he's not forced into the conversation, but he's included and welcome. Him tearing up in this scene was so beautiful.

- Gus trying to do better. He's a fucking asshole at the start of the movie, but he learns. He's feeling guilty, thinking it's his fault that Lars is delusional, but eventually still goes out of his way to help and learn. He learns the difference between delusions and hallucinations, and he talks about it at work, knowing there's a big chance his coworkers will mock him, like they've done in a previous scene.

- the older ladies chasing Gus and Karin out of the house to spend some time with Lars. The scene is so simple it's almost painful. They bring him food. They knit and chat while he just sits with them. They tell him not to worry about anything, to just eat his food and relax a little.

Idk this movie is just... it's just so sweet. It means so much to me. I think it's my new comfort movie now. First time I watched it, I cried like a baby the whole time. Second time I watched it, I just really enjoyed everything about it. There's something so soothing about how the entire town comes together to help and support Lars, despite a lot of people not understanding and not knowing what to do at first.

Eridians are apex predators. Humans, despite considering ourselves the top of the food chain, actually fall into the same trophic level as pigs and anchovies—tertiary omnivores.

But humans are pursuit predators. And Eridians seem more likely to be ambush predators.

What I'm saying is on that years-long trip to Erid there were absolutely several instances of Rocky & Grace doing something that was absolutely terrifying to the other one and then having to be like "oh yeah no that's normal. Sorry."

In reference to that fuckass polaroid of Grace. I feel like anyone but Stratt would have taken a photo with him so, in my eyes, she's the only one who could have taken that awkward picture T-T

heyyyyy, how we all doing? this is just a random assortment of headcanons from my notes app. might do a more themed/organized one if i end up making more. enjoy <33

(btw all super fluffy, no nsfw ones so not to worry!)

✦ Mark is a pretty decent cook. Ryland on the other hand is terrible. He’s tried to make dinner for them a couple times and almost burned the kitchen down. He wants to be good at it so bad but it just never works out well.

✦ When they moved in together, Mark, naturally, brought all his plants with him. They had to like sketch out a floor plan to figure out how to fit them all cause there were so many.

✦ While Mark’s whole thing is plants, he also just has terrible memory (an adhd thing) so half the time, he forgets to water them. Before the two lived together, it led to a lot of them dying cause Mark just wasn’t fully paying attention and then he’d get really sad when he accidentally killed one.

✦ They developed a system now though. Mark walked Ryland through everything that each plant needed and Grace put them all down in a little notebook. Then, he devised a system to make sure they were able to keep all the plants healthy. Once they got a routine going, the plants were all fine and Mark was so thrilled.

✦ And yes, all the plants have names, typically pop-culture related plant puns.

✦ Speaking of, they both thrive off of routine for a number of reasons. 1, neurodivergence obv. 2, routine helped both of them while they’re were in space. so, when anything is slightly off timing-wise, they both get antsy.

✦ “Mark, where are you? are you okay?”

✦ “Yeah baby, I was just helping a kid with something. I’ll be home in 15.”

✦ “Are you sure? ‘Cause with traffic, that could add on another 10 and then it another 2 minutes walk and-“

✦ “You don’t think i thought about that? Ry, 15 minutes tops, I promise.”

✦ Grace gets them a bunch of cheesy matching couples stuff: mugs, bracelets, shirts.

✦ Mark has a large collection of records he shuffles through on the daily. He started his collection in high school but went crazy with the nasa money he got once he returned cause man did he take music for granted before mars.

✦ He’s THE annoying 90s rock fan. He never shuts up about it.

✦ is really obsessed with blasting music (especially after mars) cause he hates silence.

✦ Mark Watney can fall asleep in like 5 seconds flat. The moment his head hits that pillow, he’s OUT. It takes Ryland a little while longer so most of the time, he’ll just watch Mark sleep. Not in a weird way, he just picked it up from his time with Rocky and the habit stuck.

✦ Experts at jeopardy. They both can get super competitive. I’m talking doing niche research in order to beat the other. Ryland is the reining champ though.

✦ Both get terrible nightmares/night terrors. Sleeping next to someone though really helped them both.

✦ It started off with Mark giving Grace his number and being like “text me whenever.” It was simple coworker stuff at first, then stupid jokes, then actual conversations. they’d start calling each other when they both got home and their apartments were especially quiet. Eventually though, ryland wakes up to a particularly bad one and the only thing he can think to do is call Mark. Mark’s able to talk him off the ledge, and starts distracting him with talking about random topics. Soon enough, it becomes a sort of routine with them.

✦ Mark is such a shit stirrer, loves doing random stuff just to get ryland flustered or jealous. He never takes it too far but he has a particular obsession with getting Grace hot and bothered.

✦ Mark is pet name warrior, Grace not so much. Watney has never called Grace by his last name once. It’s always pet names or Ry. You know shit’s going down if he ever calls him Grace.

Ryland Grace who thought he’d have to hide who he was in his teaching career, but he quickly becomes a safe place for his LGBTQ+ students. His tiny little pride flag in a pencil holder on the desk becomes one hanging on the wall to running the school’s GSA. He has students come out to him all the time and trust him with their chosen names. He has a little trans pin on his lanyard and a GLSEN safe space sticker on the classroom door’s window. He goes from hiding his identity as a trans man to changing the lives of every queer student on campus.
