hello self proclaimed multishipper on tumblr. let's play a game. in front of you is an aro person venting understandable frustration about how 99% of fanworks and fan discussions in every single fandom always center around romance, regardless of whether or not the character in question would realistically want to date anyone. your challenge is to okay and you've already started calling op a violent anti. well the crusher machine-

[ID: Project Hail Mary fanart. First we see Grace looking up nervously from the airlock of the Hail Mary, captioned "sometimes / your only available transportation". The whole background shows the Hail Mary and the Blip-A in space, with Grace on a tether jumping from the Hail Mary to reach the Blip-A, captioned "is a leap / of faith". The whole text reads "sometimes / your only available transportation / is a leap / of faith". End ID]

suddenly thinking about the courtroom scene, of Stratt being accused of pirating literally everything, and Grace later having everything in the various computers aboard his ship that he gave a copy to Rocky without issue, and the beetles having such a massive memory capacity and...

Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.

Just.... she pirated everything, and put it all on the Hail Mary.

i think it's very fun that the things that apply to Gen (Queen's Thief) from this list *change entirely* depending on how you're evaluating the story.

the reasons that apply if you're looking at it as a created fiction telling a story to you, the reader, are *not* the same as the reasons that apply if you're looking at the lens of him writing this story down *for Helen*

they don't tell you this but when an event is advertised as "for all ages" they mean kids. they mean kids. if you, a grown-up, show up expecting to do the arts'n'crafts, you're the weirdo. even though they said "all ages."

bowditch

no shade to OP bc i get the frustration and I wish we had a different category to convey this, or maybe just used more clear language like "kids of all ages."

but as a parent this actually has a more specific meaning in any event that is open to kids, and that's the contextual information that this kid-friendly activity or event doesn't have a more restricted age group. if you have a 3 year old and a 9 year old, you quickly discover that many things advertised to families or children do have actual age limits they failed to convey clearly. the thing that will welcome the 3 year old will tell you the 9 yo is too old. the 9 yo wants to go to this thing that claims it's for kids but, ope, actually they won't let anyone under 5 join.

"all ages" should mean what it says on the tin, but what it actually often means is "this kid-centered event/activity has options welcoming both the 3 and 9 year old, and also the 15 year old cousin"

Wait, I can help you with that. Will you let me?

During a high speed car chase pursuit, the FOX 11 Los Angeles helicopter had an unexpected moment when they spotted a rooster and a chicken casually walking down the sidewalk right in the middle of the pursuit.
