Project Hail Mary’s Ewa Stratt and The Illuminae files’ AIDAN
Making AI art for any fandom is bad but for ILLUMINAE???????? Did you read it tf?
sometimes a family is just a tech genius prone to offer to blow herself up, a military pilot who learned to fly a plane two weeks ago, a tactician in a stolen catwoman bodysuit, a convicted teen felon, a vlogging nurse, a failed soldier with a 2012 justin bieber haircut, a hacker who speaks exclusively in curse words, a goldfish, and a psycho chatgpt bot who fell in love with a teen girl. and that’s beautiful.
I’m currently re-reading The Illuminae Files series & I think it’s hilarious that even though it’s so far in the future that the kids no longer know what a book is, they’re all still making Wheel of Fortune jokes. Glad to know that masterpiece of a game show stood the test of time into the intergalactic future.
thinking again about how the illuminae files foreshadowed covid, so it might as well foreshadow humanity’s downfall at the hands of ai
and i’m just going to tell y’all right now, it is quite unlikely we will be saved by a teenage computer genius by the name of kady grant
Isaac Grant is, like, actually the best person in the Illuminae files. His whole family's probably dead? Well he's gonna defend the families on Heimdall even when he's bleeding out. Goes out of his way to help and comfort Ella when the rest of the Mao aren't even treating her like a person. A bunch of kids on the ship have lost their family? Guess he has 4 more kids now. He's leaving them personal messages of support and telling them he's proud of them!?! Underrated character for sure, he's the best.
Syra Boll they didn't deserve you :(
the best example of aiden being a living paradox is in book one where it literally negotiates kady staying on the alexander in exchange for the 1000 people who were still unaffected by phobos, and it's part of the reason that it's such a fascinating character to look at
