The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"

and

"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"

My various beloved pseudointellectuals on this website have pioneered a writing style I would call "postgrad chuuni"

A folder of PDFs is a type of cursed eyepatch.

You've heard of multi-shipper now get ready for multi-headcanoner: where multiple interpretations of the same character coexist in your head and they are all great.

When Grace starts the "WHO AM I?" board, he writes "Carl... (foggy)", but when we come back to it at the end (before he's started erasing it to plan out going back to Rocky) it says "Carl... (fog )". I think there's a pretty obvious gap, and nothing surrounding it has been rubbed off. The last two letters of "foggy" have been intentionally erased.

The marine layer (fog) that hangs over the San Francisco Bay Area is named Karl. Seriously, a significant portion of Bay Area residents (especially millenial or younger) call the fog "Karl" in casual conversation. All the time. I've heard it. It is very confusing at first.

I don't think Grace ever remembered Carl well enough to be certain he existed. He erased the "-gy" in "foggy" because he thought maybe he was just thinking of the fog. He likes the fog. He still doesn't remember having one single true friend on Earth. He likes the fog.

Movie Stratt: "Please don't make it harder than it should be…"

i have to reblog and add the prev tags:

#whats cool about the movie is that we get glimpses of the story outside of Rylands pov

#the book is entirely his pov and the few glimpses we DO get from other people they're all like “wait y'all are NOT fucking??”

#like yes her characterization is different to an extent but the book is filtered through Ryland who clearly has NO clue about anything

#(unless its at the end of a microscope)

#and its clear she kept him on and close (for strategic reasons) but also bc she saw his value in his humanity

#he cries he cares he moralizes and he reminds her of all the things she doesn't have the privilege of being bc they dont have time

#she makes HIM have conversations with the astronauts about their preferred method of suicide like cMON guys.

#like there is a dynamic there HE didn't clock or remotely want but other people did (I dont ship them thats just canon in the book)

#and a part of his character IS pushing people away and distancing himself and I think it'd be vert easy for his brain to -

#- in these distressing moments - immediately cast a horrible opinion of a woman who is still just trying to do her job

#she kept him on because she's a masochist and needed someone to remind her she is doing fucked up things even if it IS for the greater good

#when she does finally make the decision he will go to space she doesn't seem him for 4 days and then says horrible things to him

#like it never read to me that she hated him but that she was trying to convince herself as much as him that what she was doing was -

#- the only option. feelings and emotions aside.

#but the difference is there is no ryland grace beside her to offer counter balance and question her morality bc she's jetting him into spac

#idk their relationship in the book is so interesting and refreshing and its all so cool that its from graces pov

#and I think the movie did a good job of reminding us that she is just a person - even if to Ryland she is the stoic cold monster -

#- at times

ich liebe Parallelen

the thing that i adore the most about project hail mary is the fact that, after travelling god knows how far, saving multiple worlds, and living on an alien planet, grace ends the film not as some big hero, but as a teacher

its just so nice that the film sits there and says ‘ryland graces job as a teacher is important’, because its very common in these kinda films that the protagonist starts off as a teacher purely to give a bit of exposition before the government person shows up and goes ‘youre the best (insert science here)ist in the world, and we need your help to save the world’ or whatever, and i assumed at first that thats what this film was doing as well

but its not

grace starts the film as a teacher, he goes through the film as a teacher, and he ends the film as a teacher. he is a teacher to his students. he is a teacher to the astronauts. he is a teacher to rocky. and at the end of it all, he is a teacher to his students.

ryland grace saves both worlds not because he is some big hero, but because he is a teacher. and his reward at the end of it all is that he gets to keep teaching. and isnt that beautiful

the thing you need to understand about carmilla countess karnstein is that she is a loser. she's absolutely drowning in blood bitches but she has to be because she is an immortal vampire noble who gets by on flirting her way into continual couch surfing. she has no job no house no car and no money. she sleeps all the way through the morning. she hears people singing and it pisses her off so bad that she needs her bestiecrush to hold her hand until she calms down. she's violently classist and loves to use the "wait until I tell my rich dad about this" line but, crucially, her rich dad is dead as fuck and has been for all living memory. she's a serial monogamist and she's fucking coasting on pretty privilege.
