Ryland Grace's crash-out outfits (crashoutfits)
so after the extremely important post observing Grace is wearing Ilyukhina's dress during his crash out, i feel it is my civic duty to catalog Grace's wardrobe shifts during this sequence. important science. gender science. as if there were not enough science on that with Grace already.
This sequence is non-linear, jumping back and forth, so I'll try to put them in order.
CRASHOUTFIT ONE:
PHM shirt, workout shorts, what seem to be PHM socks, and his horrible flat sole sneakers. This is all probably his own clothes or communal PHM clothes.
(I am 80% sure he's wearing fucking KEDS. So apparently Grace does not require arch support. Or comfort. Or any grip on the soles of his shoes. Maybe this is a factor in his clumsiness.)
CRASHOUTFIT TWO:
When he's going through everyone's effects, he's in longer drawstring sweatpants, his PHM polo, and what I've determined to be a hospital cloak. It's cut the same way as the medical garb and doesn't have the same pockets/fasteners you'd expect from normal clothes.
CRASHOUTFIT THREE:
Grace really likes Ilyukhina's clothes. Read into this what you will, I know I am. But he also has plastic sunglasses, and a beach hat for the WHAM! Big Tour, which. Is wild. Ilyukhina's silk robe is the clear focal point here.
I want to note that I believe Grace has another of her dresses on the floor of the lab when Rocky first shows up. Also, Grace seems to be very careful and conscientious of the silk robe; it looks like he's hand-washed it and has hung it up on his improvised airlock clothesline.
(Why is that a dress? It has a similar look and pattern repetition to the other dress Ilyukhina wore, and when Grace briefly picks it up to try cleaning the room, the weight of it is floaty like a dress would be.)
CRASHOUTFIT FOUR:
Grace loves oversized jackets and cardigans. He seems of the opinion outwear should hang down below the hips and above/around the knees. Love that. Here, as he tries to remember who tf he is, he's in a thick, warm-looking robe and the fox mask. The mask is interesting; Eva Stratt leaves him a lil fox figurine as a gift with his effects, and we know/can infer most of the things packed for Grace were from her and the team since he was drugged into oblivion. So maybe Stratt's order was "just find fox-themed stuff and bring it to me."
CRASHOUTFIT FIVE:
There it is! But oh man this makes my heart hurt. Grace seems to be dressed in as much as he can be. The dress but also two different hats, the sunglasses, his cardigan, and what looks like another jacket under the cardigan. It gives the impression he's wearing as much of the crew's clothes as he can, as if trying to hold onto them in the only way his drunk brain can.
BONUS HEARTBREAK OBSERVATION:
Grace locates the NASA jumpsuits then makes the conscious decision to dress the bodies of Yao and Ilyukhina in their own before eulogizing them. This is apparently a detail lifted from the book, where Grace does the same thing, takes the extra time.
PHM the film you are, jfc.
The shoes are Chucks: "In “Project Hail Mary” — the sci-fi blockbuster starring Ryan Gosling, which debuted on March 19, scoring $140 million at the box office worldwide — Converse’s classic Chuck 70 low-top shoes get enough screen time to leave viewers wondering if they’re looking at a calculated branding moment in the vein of “Back to the Future Part II’s” Nike Mag, or a more subtle, character-driven choice."

Good Riddance - Project Hail Mary
(thinking about Orpheus and Eurydice similarities where turning back saved them both. about saying goodbye and being freed from all the burdens, that you deeply cared and loved, but it also hurt you at the same time. about how Grace might sometimes see the future of humanity as a debt he needs to pay. about how guilty he will feel in thinking so. about making peace with it in the end maybe because he was as good as dead maybe he was content maybe he had rocky maybe he knew he did something good.)
The Project Hail Mary fandom is already turning into a prison due to the fact that a handful of the people in it lack the understanding of nuance.
"Grace good, Stratt bad" or "Grace selfish, Stratt good" is something I'm seeing a lot of. Why are people so obsessed with putting everything in either the black or white category when the majority of things in life are all different shades of grey?
A lot of people's perceptions of Stratt boils down to proof that she is, in fact, the scapegoat. Grace made it abundantly clear that he knew that he was a coward for not wanting to go on the ship, yet Stratt ensured that he would only ever be remembered as a hero, implying that she understood that it's normal to panic and fight back when a suicide mission is thrust upon you, and how easy it would be for outsiders to take offense to him fighting back and not wanting to go.
Hence why she resigns herself as the punching bag. While it's like preaching to a choir that Grace was a sacrifice, it's very important to understand that Stratt was also a sacrifice, in the way that the rest of her life will be filled with heavy scrutiny and ostracism, which some might deem a fate worse than death. The blood is on her hands so that it doesn't have to be on anyone else's. She took a few lives for the sake of billions. You know, like, the trolley problem.
Due to her initiative, billions of lives will be saved, but she will likely only ever be known as a violent, evil, manipulative woman who treated her peers like they were at her disposal. At the same time, the crew will be commemorated for their bravery, including Grace, who, unbeknownst to practically everyone, threatened to thwart the mission.
And on the total opposite side of the spectrum, Grace is being woobified because of the combination of being a victim, relatively agreed upon to be aroace, and implied to abstain from swearing, causing Stratt to catch strays in turn. He is not a "poor baby", he is a grownass man with imposter syndrome who could not for the life of him sustain a relationship due to both suffocating societal norms and his tendency to build up walls.
Two things can be true at once; Grace was sent on a suicide mission against his will which would constitute as murder, and Stratt was a good person doing horrible things for the greater good longterm.
