Rocky is so done w him <3

[purpldology]

Idk why this line made me stop. Like ofcourse Rockys blindness makes him unable to understand the word "see" so he uses "hear"

But framing it as: humans can hear stars, planets, and asteroids is so,, cool? Idk if thats the right word. This line just stuck out to me.

I just know Rocky was actually cursing here but Grace internally censored it lmao

I started crying when I read this. Like what the hell. This is so good. Everyone be quiet. Grace has adjusted so much to the eridian base 6 that hes using it in his speech (and also the book monoloug)

Eridian pronouns when

Ryland calling them astrophages is funny. Ah yes the virus stealing sun energy; star-virus!! it IS accurate and very biologist of him

Hihi I just finished ch23 and I wanna kill Stratt.

I THOUGHT THYE JS KIDNAPPED HIM BUT THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE???? like insulting Grace and telling him he doesnt actually care for the kids. Tell him he'll be sedated so that he just wakes up in a whole other system. AND DRUG HIM MORE. SO HE HAS AMNESIA. ALL FOR A 1% OF ERROR. STRATT.

i was just as oblivious as Yao or Ilyukhina wouldve been. I thought the amnesia was bc of the coma. But he forced to be an amnesiac. God... Ryland:((

Okay so im like at ch6 in project hail mary, and.. I was a fool to procrastinate reading this. I alr love the Martian, why would I not read this??? It's sooo good I remembered why I love science fiction. I actually know things!!! I understand Grace's thought process and nerdyness. And I absolutely love the non-linear storytelling.

I have avoided spoilers and the movie as much as I can but im excited for when Rocky reaches bc Grace's interactions w the astrophages are alr cute, so I need him to interact with a big alien lol.

Im so excited once I get my hands on a physical version of the book because im gonna annotate it to hell (like ive done to the Martian)
