I was in a murder house but it was my birthday so my mom came up to me and handed me a copy of 1989 by Taylor Swift but it looked like the cover of Riot by Paramore.

something something when you are small and scared but there is someone who is more small and more scared

Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“WHY QUESTION???”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

“WHY QUESTION?????”

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.

Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

[assiraphales]

rocky always yells “enrichment for grace! enrichment for grace!” when he has a new invention to make the humans time more interesting on erid. grace, while appreciative, replies ‘I know I’m in a zoo enclosure but could we maybe not call it that? I feel like a bear getting thrown a pumpkin covered in peanut butter.’ rocky simply gives him a thumb, not wanting to explain that a significant amount of the population sees grace as the celebrity savior scientist who rocky keeps as a controversially young trophy wife and publicly lavishes in gifts

Earth’s Scapegoat and her Sacrificial Lamb

[dyke-parade]

actually i think andy weir's boldest writing choice in project hail mary isn't the twist that "grace was a coward & had to be forced onto the mission" which then makes his decision to potentially die to save rocky & erid so beautiful. no, the BOLDEST choice is that what triggers grace's first memory of the petrova line & astrophage at the very beginning of the book (thus kicking off the entire plot) is seeing a line of his dick blood on the floor after yanking out a still-inflated catheter

A common theme in science fiction is that if you're in space, don't trust a corporation. And Earth is in space

what went thru dennis’ mind

[portslock]

really want a fic where whitaker is super conflicted about going back to nebraska for christmas and robby over hears and is having a really bad day and snaps saying smt along the lines of "not everyone has a family, you're lucky to have some of course you should go back its really selfish and ungrateful to be complaining about your 'complicated family' like this when we see people's family's destroyed " (I know kinda outta character but maybe its the anniversary of his grandma's passing, think him shouting at mohan about her mummy issues) and dennis goes all quiet and is like "ofc you are right"

cut to a week later whens hes back from nebraska christmas and he walks into the pitt and robby goes to say "hey kid glad you took my advice?" but is cut off because dennis is literally black and blue and his head is shaved

[laughableomen]

Hear me out x4

‘HR nightmare’

Robby: Ethically I can’t do this meeting with Dr Whitaker. You know about the relationship

HR: Okey fine have Abbot do it the

Jack: Well about that..

Bonus points

HR: Fine call Dr Al-Hashimi, it’s not like she’s been to his flat before

Trinity: So about that..

Bonus bonus points the flat’s kitchen 4am

Baran: Robinavitch (Stood in underwear and trinity’s top)

Robby: Al-Hashimi (Stood in boxers and Dennis’ fluffy socks)

Jack: Well this is a party (Stood butt ass naked)

[orlovbats]

Sometimes Robby wakes in the night, strangely confused and unsettled. He hardly recognises the soft sound of his voice nor does he possess control over the cry he whimpers: "Mom?"

The small, dark shape beside him only ever shifts very slightly. There's a sleepy sigh, then an arm draping around his side, grounding him. "Right here," he's told in a whisper. This reassurance never fails to soothe him back to sleep.

Neither he nor Dennis ever speak about it.

[lizziebux]

And in my eyes, Trinity Santos, you can do absolutely NO wrong.

[pickledtoast98]

Whitsantos drunken bed sharing

Trinity comes home drunk off her ass and McKay and Victoria are trying to steer her towards her own bedroom and she just whines, “nooo, I want my Huckleberry.” and redirects to Dennis’ bedroom.

Cassie is flabbergasted when a sleepy Dennis gets up and undresses Trinity and puts her in one of his shirts before putting her in the bed and climbing in behind her.

“Thanks for getting her back safe,” he yawns. They are both soon snoring softly as Cassie goes out to find Victoria dead asleep, still in her dress and heels, in Trinity’s bed.

I hate when this happens to me 🙄

Projecting onto dennis slightly where he was the woke one in his family and was ridiculed for all of this (esp if we go trans ftm dennis), like. They’d purposely say offensive things, things they believe, just to piss him off and start an argument, just to make fun of him for being sensitive and a snowflake etc.

And then he moves to a big city and he’s in these more politically correct circles, but he’s still an outsider. He grew up in these rural communities that both parties didnt give a shit about, and now he’s surrounded by people who say shitty things about his home and places like it and he’s just so fucking angry. Because these people who have never lived outside of a major city dont know what its like to live in these places, they dont know the struggle, and they dont care to know or empathise. And its just like back home, its still the same thing of “things can get better but only for some people”.

Idk, just dennis and the complexities of growing up rural and the frustrations that can bring in urban political spheres
