I’m very much a Grace/Rocky/Adrian truther. Grace has two hands. Rocky has five, but the other three are for his projects.

#project hail mary #ryland grace #rocky the eridian #adrian the eridian #grockdrian #i’m just saying i think it’s very in character for grace to fumble his way into an alien power throuple #gee grace how come the aliens let you have two spouses?#not to mention the potential of rocky having a reputation as kind of a cantankerous loner who somehow bagged baddie of all time adrian #coming home from space for god knows how long with the cure for the sun dying and an alien husband

james ortiz provided some of his own personal rocky backstory on the sag aftra podcast, transcribed by me because we all have to be miserable about it together.

link to the podcast, this section below is from timestamp 24.35

“andy weir provided a packet to the creature shop that was like a packet of eridian biology and stuff but there wasn’t much about eridian culture or eridian sociology and i made a bunch of choices going in because i just needed to have like a ‘who am i?’ right?

[…] and i made a decision that rocky’s species, that eridians are really social animals that in fact are like a beehive or a pod of dolphins - it’s a unique and really integrated ecosystem of everybody doing their [specific] part. and the fact that rocky had to fly that ship for about 45 years - longer than grace has been alive, i wanna point that out - he’s been alone on that ship, having to run that by himself and- ryan and i would talk about that, one day we sat down and he was like “so what’s the movie from rocky’s perspective?” and i was like “oh it’s like ‘alien’, […] like he’s in a ‘contagion’ movie by himself and he has no idea what’s going on.”

he’s basically in castaway by himself which of course ryan is too but like, one reason why we never cut to the past of rocky is like, i think it was really horrifying! i don’t think rocky has slept in however many years and so a thing i was really struggling with is this idea of like “rocky must watch sleep” because how do you make that a need as opposed to like, a cute idea? and i just had to make the decision that […] he has a lot of unprocessed trauma around the things that he doesn’t understand and how much he is blaming himself because he’s the guy who fixes, he’s the guy who fixes and there was something really freeing about deciding that rocky was a deeply emotional, deeply anxious, deeply horrified person - being - that is trying to move through that in some way and how that affects the early scenes with him until there’s a point in the story where you can see we’ve physically softened rocky’s behaviour, because he’s finally feeling more safe and ok but all of that lore, all of that information [was essential].

i also decided, this is just a small nerdy thing, that there was actually some of his family, was on that ship too.”

It’s kind of crazy to notice how much of our language centers around sight when people are trying to write about a race of people with no eyes.

#apologies for being a huge bitch about fandom shit that doesn’t matter #but whenever i read eridians using poetic language relating to stars or invoking them like deities #i gotta tilt my head a little because why would they #like they are aware that stars exist and their planet orbits one #but we have all this poetic language about the stars and the sun because we can see them #I’m not trying to rag on anybody writing is hard even when you’re not trying to represent a totally alien perspective #it just irks me a little

“Non-Euclidean Fuck Chamber” is a good phrase from the latest Drawfee episode.

#also a good band name

Showing a character is a piece of shit by having him piss and not wash his hands is an underrated trope.

#the examples that immediately come to mind for me are the villains in the shape of water and the substance #but i feel like it does show up other places

#project hail mary #ryland grace #rocky the eridian #fanart #animation #great art #AAAAAAA THIS IS AMAZING #I saw this on Instagram and I just can’t stop looking at it it’s sooooo good

My ass who has never written a comic successfully in her 30 years of life thinking but what if I made it a comic? Just a teensy little comic? I could toooootally do it, ignore all the other times I Did Not Do It.

I don’t think Grace would actively prevent Rocky from learning English curse words. Rocky’s an adult and Grace thinks he’s allowed to express himself however he wants.

However, I do think Grace would make Rocky a swear jar.

#project hail mary #ryland grace #rocky the eridian #maybe not on the hail mary but when they get to erid #and rocky’s hanging around grace’s students or planning on starting a family with adrian #idk what they’d put in a swear jar i just think it’s funny

I’d love to see someone make a gif set or video compilation of all the times rainbows appear in Project Hail Mary.

#project hail mary #i’m watching someone’s reaction video and they’re on the scene where Grace and stratt first meet #and i noticed there’s faint rainbows on the whiteboard #and i realized it’s like. a major recurring visual motif throughout the movie

#project hail mary #rocky the eridian #he’s so goddamn charming i just love rocky so much #i never noticed the paper had something printed on it that’s so funny #what random piece of probably very important documentation did grace decide to turn into a hat

I should relisten to The Magnus Archives at work. Surely this could not go wrong at all :)

#i’m not even worried about the horror part i’m worried it’ll make me fucking cry while I’m putting damn tubes in pouches

Do I think that Murderbot and Project Hail Mary have excellent live action adaptations with great casting and effects? Of course.

Do I also wish that they would get animated adaptations and that they’d let me work on them? Abso-fucking-lutely.

#pleeeeease i know i have basically no industry experience but i simply want to animate my friends murderbot and rocky #this bitch reading scifi over here #also of course I would love to work on an animated locked tomb adaptation #that goes without saying

I think the Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared guys had the right idea with only going on the internet once a year.

Sometimes when I have a Thought about fiction I can’t really tell whether it’s actually insightful, something I’m completely pulling out of my ass, or me pointing out something obvious to literally everyone.

The context for this is that I think BB and The Killer in Anthology of the Killer might be two halves of the same entity. I legitimately can’t tell if there’s any good media analysis going on in my mush of a brain.
