How many seagulls would you have to find on your ship before you got suspicious that Rocky was putting them there question.

Rocky, is this you? And are you somehow putting seagulls in the Hail Mary?.. But I would guess... Maybe 5?.. I don't know..

Rocks... I know you're trying to be nice, but I'm not in the Hail Mary right now, I'm in the biodome... And I'm not gonna eat Seagull.. How are you even getting them?

mimicry

[lysimachias]

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

still mad how in the movie Grace tries to run away from the Blip-A

Still mad how in the movie Grace doesn't catch the first capsule

Movie Grace is so contrarian ahhhh 😭😭😭

The book scenes where it's a beautiful delicate dance of communication via science are so precious

Communicating with speed. Velocity. Patterns. Taking great care to be comfortable with each other in the tiniest ways. Both being cautious of the other's atmosphere and even potential cultural pitfalls.

All before they even saw each other

Stared too long at basic words and convinced myself these were all misspelled somehow

Anyway, unreasonably proud of my little acrostic

[cloudabserk]

the book scene where dubois and shapiro tell grace they’re having sex is really interesting. it’s not just that’s he’s uncomfortable talking about sex (although he very much is) it’s that he doesn’t understand why they would have sex if one of them is guaranteed to die in space soon. they kind of included this in the movie (when he asks stratt why everybody is partying and hooking up if they’re all gonna die)

there’s another line that stood out to me in the book, where amnesiac grace initially finds his dead crewmates, and he goes “i hope they weren’t friends of mine!” which imo is a crazy thing to say upon finding two corpses

it’s not just that grace avoids forming close relationships, it’s that he avoids it (in part) in order to avoid experiencing loss. really interesting character trait especially knowing he has no immediate family (did they die? is that why he’s like this?) not even a pet (is he scared the pet will die?)

jesus christ man

AND THEN ROCKY COMES. THE ONE WHO WILL BE DOING THE LOSING BECAUSE OF HIS LIFESPAN. HE COMES AND HE LOVES GRACE ANYWAY. HE COMES OUT OF HIS ATMOSPHERE FOR HIM TO SAVE HIM. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF LOSING HIM - BECAUSE ROCKY WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE TO LOSE GRACE - BUT BECAUSE ROCKY LOVES HIM
