in defense of doug eiffel, he was literally on the hephaestus on remand, he was doing penal labor, he did not want to be there and any vague illusion of him having a choice in the matter was cancelled out by cutter threatening his daughter to get him to comply. in offense of doug eiffel, hera was also there as forced labor and she only fucked around maybe 30% as much.
Thinking abt a Wolf 359 x Project Hail Mary au..
I need everyone who’s been simultaneously posting about Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung to go listen to Wolf359. If your current special interest is men being sent to die in space you are gonna LOVE Doug Eiffel
graphic design is not my passion but podcasts are
they’re friends. to me.
more important things than sanitized pagan rituals 🍕 (by @quibbs)
Finally finished this!!! Shout out to wolf359 for being one of my favourite things ever
Y’all remember this fucking part of the live show? Engraved. In my psyche.
they're brainstorming
ryland grace is like the most interesting guy ever to me
like hes so so kind but also so so far up his own ass. he picks fights. he talks over people and doesnt like being interrupted. he likes making others laugh. he likes kids. he simultaneously takes things too seriously and doesnt take them seriously enough. he'll yell and throw shit but tuck his tail between his legs and run the second his ego is threatened. he only sleeps when he starts getting stupid from sleep depravation. his fear of intimacy makes him easily annoyed with other people, but it also makes him not want to worry anyone. he doesnt swear but only out of habit. he's scared of most things but was adventerous in college. he is a coward and also the hero
Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.
happy pebble pride
The importance of his doctorate in molecular biology aside, the way in which Ryland Grace approaches an alien life form with curiosity, compassion and kindness is indicative of his lived experience as a teacher in a middle school.
It is one thing to be able to teach effectively, and another to manage a variety of different individuals needs while maintaining engagement. Every skill that Grace uses in his meeting of Rocky, and building a relationship with him, whether he remembers or not, are skills a good educator and mentor uses.
To not assume ill intent. To approach first with curiosity. To explain difficult concepts in a palatable way without condescension or malice. To empathize with one's situation and acknowledge how it may shape one's responses. To exercise patience. To adapt and shift gears in the face of uncertainty. To remain calm in the height of stress and remain a leader.
Grace as a scientist yes, but as a teacher, maintaining an openness to not only work with Rocky, but to also embrace his differences and utilize his strengths to find creative solutions that benefit both of them.
History is fraught with disputes and wars driven by ignorance and sustained by fear of unique cultures and experiences that are different to our own. It is practically in our DNA to reject or fear that of which is different to us, and so it is not weak to trust or to be kind. It is harder to be these things, because the opposing forces come so effortlessly.
Grace's inclination toward 'flight' instead of 'fight' is not an indicator of weakness. It is preservation. It is learned behavior. To take a step back, recalibrate and approach again. You do not win students over by being a fearless dictator. You win them over by treating them like people, and acknowledging where you yourself have room for growth. Ryland Grace is a coward for many reasons that define his narrative, but being trusting and kind are not among them.
Humanity owes its salvation to Ryland Grace the middle school teacher.
This scene absolutely floored me. So much emotion in this moment. It's so beautiful!
your name is ryland grace and you are a coward. you know it because it's written everywhere in your story: you are a coward and a quitter and the first one out the door when things get hard. you are good with kids because kids don't expect you to be braver than you are, and because kids respond well to distraction when you run away from a problem in front of them, and because kids are curious and open-minded and ask questions expecting surprising answers.
your name is ryland grace and you are a teacher. you are good at laying out the facts, at disgusing useful information in your quips. you are good at meeting people where they're at and getting them to understand the things that click into place in your brain so easily. you are smart but you love to learn new things and you love to help others love it, too. you used to think you were only good at teaching children. you were wrong.
your name is ryland grace and you wake up alone and with no memory of anything and it comes back to you in fits and starts: the earth is dying. you know how to save it. you used to stand in front of a classroom and help kids understand. there was a woman who believed in you. your friends needed you. your planet needed you. you do not remember being a coward because it is not important when the world is dying and you, ryland grace, are the only one who has a chance to save it.
your name is ryland grace and you remember being a coward but it feels like a different ryland grace. it feels like the ryland grace you are now, who leaps into space to collect a sample and does everything in his power to complete his mission, this ryland grace is not a coward. but you know that your name is ryland grace, and you are a coward. what do you do with that?
your name is ryland grace and you're faced with a choice: accept the fate you were so close to avoiding. go home. be a hero and be welcomed back with open arms. prove to the world you left behind that you could do it, that their faith in you was worth it, even though you are a coward.
or turn back and save the friend who is the only reason you were able to do any of it in the first place. save the friend who saved you. save the friend who can't save himself, and whose planet and people will die without him. and in doing so, make the choice you never made in the first place. make the choice to turn around and leave the earth and your people behind, never set foot on a beach again, never breath the fresh air again, never feel the light of your sun again.
your name is ryland grace and the choice is not hard. rocky would do the same for you. rocky did the same for you. rocky almost died for you. rocky gave up years of his life to make sure you could go home, and that sacrifice is the only reason saving him is even option. your name is ryland grace and you know, now, that it doesn't matter that you were a coward, once. there's more important things to worry about.
your name is ryland grace, and you get to have a hand in saving two worlds.
ryland teaching his students how sound waves are physical by using the vibrations to move sand/rice/whatever on top of a speaker and then rocky making something that looks very similar to see things that are on screens by “hearing” them….oh project hail mary your beautiful parallels
