Tangent Twins

A shared brain cell, love of media, and snarky overanalyzing. Mix 'em up and you get The Tangent Twins. If you love dissecting plot points, yelling about character arcs, or falling down a rabbit hole about why that one scene changed your life, you're in the right place. Spoilers are guaranteed. Logic is not. Grab some protection for your heads, it's gonna get rough.

All these thirsty posts about Ryan Goslings characters, but I just want to give all of them a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate 😭

[tangenttwins]

I'm secretly hoping people who love Project Hail Mary will watch all of Ryan's movies...like Blade Runner 2049...and write fanfiction about Officer K/Joe...🥺

(Specifically ones where he goes with Deckard 🙏)

I love how Grace was like "yeah my crew died now I'm here alone" and Rocky INSTANTLY was like "no we're friends now we're a team we're in this together statement"

[tangenttwins]

Rocky was immediately ride or die

[my-heart-of-heart]

Let him have one nap in normal gravity please

[azertyrobaz]

It was a whiplash for US to see how different Grace was in his flashbacks vs in space. He stepped right into science mode and immediately went forward with figuring out why Tau Ceti wasn't dimming. Whereas immediately in his flashbacks we can see he's more awkward and with every flashback we saw he was more and more...not cowardly, but very unsure of himself and his abilities. Which makes sense when you find out he was laughed out of the science community. When his experiment was called crude and clumsy he fully accepted that, but was shocked when they said he was right.

He doesnt have any of that in space, he doesn't remember it, so he's immediately more confident in his abilities. After all, he was chosen to save the world for who he was. Then, when we (and Grace), find out he didn't choose to go and didnt want to die in order to save the world, we see him start to fall back to his old ways. Rocky called him brave, Grace shrugged it off.

It wasn't until Rocky was going to die a long, slow and painful death that Grace finally found a reason to be brave. From that moment on, he was fully confident in who he was. He didnt know if Rocky was alive, he didnt know if he would live after getting to Rocky. He probably thought he would die in space (the irony). He didn't hesitate for a second, he didn't need hours to think about it, he knew immediately what he needed to do and he did it.

You know what? No

I need for Ryland to somehow come back to Earth (with Rocky and Adrian ofc, they're a package deal now) after they saved Erid and meet with Colt and Court (i do love some coltlandgentry even though i only watched phm as of now)

BUUTTT it's can't be this nice, we need some angst

Ryland still has problems with his memories, he doesn't remember a lot of his childhood (be it cuz his brain wants to protect him from the trauma or due to memory wipe or both, cuz both is good) and the brothers just look at Ryland's eyes sometimes looking for recognition and see nothing. Kinda as if they're seeing just somebody or something wearing their brother's skin

the "new" Ryland also has new habits - can't sleep without being watched by someone, clicks and taps, uses "statement" or "question" at the end of the sentences and overall copies a lot from Eridian's style of communicating. He also sometimes slips and says something in a very broken Eridian language instead of English

Throw in some chronic pain because he spent years in space and suddenly is in a place with gravity (counting Erid in that too)

I want Colt and Court to look at Ryland and mourn the loss of their youngest brother from before-the-Hail-Mary. Re-mourn if you will

I want Ryland to spend more time with Rocky and Adrian than with his brothers because the thought of looking at his siblings and not recognizing them to a level that he knows he should makes him feel so guilty that he'd rather isolate than to face them.

I want them to be reunited but in an angstiest (it's not a word, is it?) way possible without Ryland being dead

Edit: thought of something else - Colt and Court don't know Ryland was forced to go and so they think he'd "abandoned" them. Ryland wants them to believe he volunteered because he's "brave" (he doesn't even think about the possible "abandonment") but slips at some point and mentions the kidnapping.

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

I cannot even articulate how much I am excited about the whole "Cold Seavers and Ryland Grace are twins" and "Sierra Six is Ryland Grace's older brother" universe, but I need to scream at somebody about how excited it makes me. These fics are currently my lifeblood, keeping me going through the shitty things happening in my life right now <3

As always, please send any reccomendations my way!

A special line of Replicas called the The Brothers: Joe, Courtland, Colt and Ryland-

And in the end Joe could make peace that he wasn’t The Child, because he had one more memory even more precious than the horse. A memory where his face had looked back at him three-fold. And he remembered when each face left him one by one. Aka Joe lives and goes in search for his brothers.

WAIT I NEED MORE OF THIS

I love the way that almost every coltlandgentry ao3 author now holds personal offence against ao3 for not making Courtland Gentry an official tag name
