on Feb 6, the first two Bloodymary posts appeared on this site, your Venn diagram comparing the plots of these media, and then, ten minutes later, @carhorno’s romantic fanart, that they made based on a suggestion from @bustedjaws on January 31 (see @bustedjaw’s post about it).
if I can ask, do you know @carhorno or @bustedjaws?
After these two posts from within ten minutes on the same day, no one besides @carhorno or @bustedjaws makes any post for this crossover until @benvoliotheorphan’s Feb 26 fanfic, ‘til I crash into the ending, which I believe cites your post as its inspiration.
That’s a whole 20 days of you three being the only ones to talk about a ship that the next 95 days saw over 1000 fanfics posted for on ao3, without countless posts and fanart on another sites.
I’m curious if you’d talked to @carhorno or @bustedjaws about this somewhere, or if, you just coincidentally made your Venn diagram and posted it ten minutes before their art without knowing eachother at all, which is kinda a crazy coincidence.
either way, cool as fuck for you to have made the first ever bloodymary post!
I have never interacted with nor heard of those people in my life, so yeah absolutely bonkers coincidence. BUT that is still cool as fuck that we saw the similarities separately even before Project Hail Mary's movie was released.
All I can say is that I had just finished reading Project Hail Mary like two weeks before and it was still on my mind when I went to see Iron Lung (late! I saw it on the Thursday after opening).
I don't even ship them as I am an aroace Ryland Grace truther lmao, I just went back and added the tag bloodymary (which didn't exist when I made the post of course) for the sake of those trying to filter it out since it technically applies.
Thank you for informing me of my one claim to Tumblr fame lmao
