actually kinda fascinated by the attitude toward grace’s …participation in project hail mary that i’ve seen on here, more specifically how there seems to be a pretty solid consensus re: approximately how everyone feels about it. because my partner and i went into the movie totally blind, and prior to any outside influence my take was that i didn’t care about the betrayal element beyond ‘wow his initial unwillingness to die for earth makes his tenacity in these dire circumstances so much more interesting’ and matt’s take was ‘it’s unbelievable that it even occurred to him to say no. what does he think this is.’
Wait how is everyone else feeling about it? I’m not sure I’ve seen much on that specifically.
Also I’d love to hear more about your experience with that and how the memories returning affected your view on Grace as a character/the story at large
haha well ok i can’t speak for Exactly how everyone else feels about it but the impression i get from scrolling top posts/dashboard osmosis is that 1) people primarily see it as something that was Done To Him and 2) the discussion is mostly about the extent to which stratt was justified. whereas on first watch my partner was actively and exclusively critical of *grace*, and while i fully sympathized with him it never even occurred to me to question stratt’s actions
as for the way it affected my view of grace, it honestly made me like him more. when i assumed he volunteered himself, he read more as someone who stepped up in impossible circumstances and then got (understandably) scared/maybe regretted it when faced with the reality. in retrospect, realizing he was *always* scared and was never actually prepared to die (“i didn’t mean any of that. it’s just something you say”) it makes every risk he took after meeting rocky feel so much more meaningful. especially the last one, when he turns around and actually chooses another life over his own with his eyes wide open.
someone in the replies mentioned that this was more obvious in the book, but even with less emphasis on it in the movie it didn’t escape me that when he turned around to save rocky he was doing so with no reason to believe he’d survive much longer after that. it brings his character arc full circle and disconnects his happiness from earth at the same time, which is a big part of why i walked out of the theater feeling like the ending was the absolute best case scenario. he can go back if he wants to, but he doesn’t. he wanted to stay on earth because he didn’t have anything worth dying for, he wants to stay on erid because he finally found something that was
YESSS you get me. and here’s the thing right. if he had said yes, is that really a choice? is ‘get in this ship and die or the world ends’ actually that much *less* coercive than knocking him unconscious and putting him in there anyway?
he shouldn’t have had to die in space, but he did have to. that would have been the case no matter how he felt about it. but as an audience the fact that he went *un*willingly not only makes him more interesting but also makes every choice after that feel so much more important

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes
“there’s that penny again, pa!”
this is hands down my single favorite post ive ever made that got notes

Stuff for Laceswap, a collab idea between me and vorenet.bsky.social!
An older Lace in a long-term relationship with Hornet gets swapped in time with her younger self right before her first fight with Hornet at Deep Docks. Now the two Laces have to find a way back to their own times and navigate things with their respective Hornets 👀

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice
the tag game on this post is so strong
#a lot of the time this happens because someone in their 40’s got into 1 new thing and threw a fic at it before resuming business as usual#like sorry gang they’re not a youth who’s weirdly into your mom’s shows they’re your mom who played genshin impact
why go to the grocery store or to a restaurant when you can just get food delivered why go to the mall when you can get same day shipping on amazon why go to the library when you have kindle why make art when there’s ai why go to the cinema when you can stay at home and watch netflix. we are in a loneliness epidemic btw
the loneliness epidemic was invented by BIG SHIT to sell you more SHIT
