I hope these help you.

Oh, and I have a Star Wars blog here.

I also have a Honorverse Discord server here. If you are looking for a pro-fic place that's more pro-Havenite and fluff than certain other locations, come say hi.

If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this, and delete the href li part, so you start with the https discord part. If that doesn't work, let me know with an ask.

Check out the Honor Harrington Server community on Discord - hang out with 39 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

ok yknow what im thinkin abt today? rocky sad of his crewmates dying of radiation, and asking grace how humans even discovered it.

and of course hes a middle school science teacher so he has an impromptu history lesson on lock about Marie Skłodowska-Curie and her contributions to science at the cost of her own life. It's a tragedy, but it was important to discover, and at the very least, her name will be remembered forever.

and man, doesnt that sound familiar he thinks as he says it aloud.

"When SlashFilm's Ethan Anderton spoke with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the question came up about whether any small details were snuck into the movie. Lord immediately replied with two words: Sandra's tattoo. The reference has to do with a theme that the directors initially wanted to weave into the story. In Lord's words: "[In the original novel] After Grace went off to space, people did not cooperate. The governments turned on Sandra and dragged her before a criminal court and sent her to prison. And she has a tattoo — this came from Andy [Weir], his idea — so she has a tattoo that says, 'I've been in French prison for life." In the same interview, Chris Miller gave more details about the tattoo [in the film] — it doesn't literally say "I've been in French prison for life," but that's what it means. "She has a little tattoo that has a V with a line through it, meaning V as in life and then the line meaning without parole," Miller explained[.]

We don’t need a sequel for project hail mary we need a midquel about Stratt

[bureauen]

believing in you.

[autisticlittleguy]

Apparently Eva Stratt at the end of the movie on the ship had a prison tattoo on her neck that meant something along the lines of "life without parole." So, parallel to Grace and Rocky's adventure, there was a whole subplot where Eva Stratt

- Was eventually trialed by governments of the world as a scapegoat and sent to prison

- She somehow BROKE out of said prison and currently commandeers a rogue paramilitary faction of Project Hail Mary loyalists who believe in her over world governments, who presumably are still hunting her down

- She currently is on the run and staying mobile on an ice breaker ship like some kind of james bond villain base (but you know, good) while STILL working on project hail mary the whole time

- Her rogue loyalist faction controlled enough resources they could go to space and collect the beetles Grace had sent. Alternatively, it was the world government that collected the beetles, and Stratt had a whole ass heist movie to steal them, which is why she had the little xenonite figure at the end of the movie. Either ways she was running circles around them.

Absolutely insane. Never piss off a history major

[blind-leading]

This is the only kind of sequel we need. Good lord.

[feldfrog]

I shoved a nerd in my locker. so nobody steals my precious nerd

[thefourthnorn]

Rocky with Grace

Also, Stratt with Grace

[wine-dark-sky]

I was so scared they were heading for a romance subplot but congrats to Project Hail Mary for going for the far funnier option of 'Trolley Operator' and 'Guy She Is Actively Tying To The Tracks'. What a dynamic. Movie of the year.

Let’s pray

[annabelle--cane]

I need to hit eva stratt with a car [remembers that people might read that as "I want to brutalize a woman for being mean" and not "I want to put Character in a Situation"] hit her with a car lovingly [remembers I do actually sympathize with grace's whole deal and that was pretty fucked] but not too lovingly [remembers about the 4.5 billion people] well unless she'd like it to be more loving [remembers about antarctica and the sahara] wait I probably can't hit her with a car if she's in jail [remembers that I believe in restorative justice] she should be mitigating the harm caused by her actions instead of being in jail [remembers I'm a prison abolitionist] no one should be in jail [remembers what this post was about] I need to hit a jail with a car [remembers I can't drive] I need to hit a jail with a bicycle and also eva stratt is there

[let-sleeping-australians-lie]

Uhhh idk if this is an ok thing to do but I cut it together so it’s only what people would hear

“I need to hit eva stratt with a car… hit her with a car lovingly… but not too lovingly… well unless she'd like it to be more loving- wait I probably can't hit her with a car if she's in jail… she should be mitigating the harm caused by her actions instead of being in jail- no one should be in jail- I need to hit a jail with a car… I need to hit a jail with a bicycle and also eva stratt is there”

[shannon-foraker]

yeah, i think i might like eva stratt restorative justice vibes

[palamedeez-nuts]

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

"The GI Bill provided education, training, financial relief, home loans, small business loans, and more. Between those benefits and the new skills and businesses that had been opened up by wartime production, and with the financial support of the US government, many men found themselves on the path to financial security- even prosperity. Enrollment in college, which prior to the war had been a place still mostly reserved for wealthy and socially connected sons, skyrocketed, as did home ownership. Almost half of all veterans started their own businesses.

Women were almost completely cut out of GI benefits. Of the eight million WWII veterans who used the GI Bill, only about sixty-five thousand were women. That's 0.008 percent.

Meanwhile, the average Black veteran found that the GI Bill simply returned him to his lower economic caste. College aid was offered to Black veterans, but it was moot; the vast majority of colleges and universities refused to accept Black students, and those that did accepted so small a number that most Black veterans were unable to use the tuition benefits.

Homeowner's assistance was of even less use to Black vets, since banks refused to work with Black buyers, and cities redlined Black families into neighborhoods designed to keep the return on their investments as low as possible. The GI Bill was legislation designed to benefit only white men."

Chapter 5- Mediocre, Ijeoma Oluo

People often celebrate and refer to the GI Bill as an example of socialism and it's like... Sure yeah, but there was only really one group that benefitted from it. And that gap in investment has lasted to this day.

Institutional racism and sexism gives undeserved advantages to white men.

[shannon-foraker]

I think someone my family knew who was Japanese American was able to finish college post-WW2 because of the GI Bill.

His son (born in the internment camp) said that the racism got better as he got older, from learning judo in kindergarten to deal with bullies to having friends who boycotted a bar for not allowing Asians in college or grad school. Like, where his son was, when he went to college, he said things were generally pretty good. This would have been in the 1960s.

The veteran guy, he had to deal with a lot of racism, and despite an engineering degree, had to start as a janitor at Boeing, but he worked his way up to being an engineer.

Both of them had good careers, families and lives and eventually owned their own homes.
