stretches my legs out so far with all toes spread out wide
“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
not even risking that shit
scrolled past this, re-evaluated my life, then SCROOOLLLED back up and hit the damn reblog button.
She ain’t no games in real life so I take her serious all the time
Anyone with a name that starts with a “Z”, ends with an “i”, and isn’t some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS
I’m not climbing no mountain with a pig on my back, 🙅🏽🙅🏾🙅🏿 Negative.
Nope. I know better, have your reblog Madame Zeroni.
who the fuck is Madame Zeroni
Look at these stupid children who don’t know who Madame Zeroni is
Man lissen if you don’t know you better ask somebody AFTER you hit the reblog button
Idk who she is but I have an exam today so I’ll reblog her
idk who she is but i have an exam today so i’ll reblog her
^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!
Because wise, I am.
Oh fucks no she’s back lmao must reblog. I’m sorry guys
Reblogging Madame Zeroni because I would hate for my great-great grandson to get hit in the head by running shoes
Things I love: writing this cutie right here
Problem I did not anticipate with said cutie: sometimes I write in her cursing in Russian (shoutout to curselikearussian on IG btw, they are the source of some DELIGHTFULLY creative insults) and then…forget what I wrote. I know it was rude. I know it was colorful. I don’t actually know what it says.
(It’s actually pretty fun to look it up again, though. I get to be surprised too)
the names in this book are fucking great
stratt, strategy. i am often (before ever reading this book too) saying stuff like “okay this is the strat” while explaining how to do stuff. the coordinator of everything is named stratt? are you kidding me? amazing. 10/10. stratt is method.
grace, mercy. are you joking? hail mary full of grace. guy who goes and saves another guy, who saves the world, who is so merciful the entire story. spectacular.
rocky, rock. yeah he looks like a rock. also shows us our protag is playful and a dork.
adrian, rockys partner. all the info grace has is that adrian is rockys partner, makes sense for him to name adrian so.
armando, arm. hes got an arm alright.
i looked up both yáo and ilyukhina and couldnt find any cultural significance for their names other than yao = handsome and ilyukhina = mildly biblical. if you know a further meaning pls lmk
MY TIME TO SHINE (I’ve done a weird amount of research into Yáo and Ilyukhina’s names). SO:
- Ilyukhina
The surname Ilyukhina doesn’t have any specific meaning that I know of, outside of the vaguely biblical meaning that you mentioned. However, her first name (Olesya) has a few meanings that I can find. Depending on the translation, it either means “of the forest/girl from the forest” (I’ve seen like one or two that say the sea instead of the forest, but the forest is more common), or “protector/defender”. So her first name literally means defender of Earth 🥹
Yáo
- so fun fact that I learned is that Yáo- despite being “first” in his name (Yáo Li-Jie)- is actually his surname. Also, please take this interpretation with a grain of salt- Chinese names can have different meanings based on the characters used to write them, and I don’t know how to read those characters. So his name could have a completely different meaning than I’m guessing.
Yào does most commonly mean handsome or beautiful. Li (the first part of his given name) has a long history of warriors and rulers, and therefore is often known to mean “strength” or “powerful”. Jie can mean “heroic” or “outstanding”. Putting it together (and guessing along what Weir probably wanted), Yáo’s name means something along the lines of “handsome, strong hero.”
I gotta do this in every new fandom I enter, so…
✨PHM (specifically Stratt’s Vat) INCORRECT QUOTES ✨
*stupid shit my friends and I say edition*
Grace, writing something down: Okay, Ilyukhina wants cocaine for her birthday…
Grace: No one in this family will let me break the law :(
Yáo, rubbing his temples while trying to focus on the road: Put. The pigeon. Back.
Ilyukhina, from the backseat: I’m gonna roll down the window and try to catch a seagull!
Stratt, shrugging: Sometimes you’ve just gotta try it and see what happens.
Leclerc, through tears: You knew what would happen! It blew up!
Stratt: Damn it, can I not say anything with the word straight in it?
Ilyukhina: No! I’m a lesbian with a terrible sense of humor :D
Grace: Imagine the wire dilemma, where you’re trying to figure out which color wire to cut to diffuse the bomb, but you’re completely colorblind.
Stratt: Get someone who isn’t colorblind to cut the wires.
Grace: Like there’s no one else there and they’re on the phone with someone.
Stratt: Objectively, the wire dilemma you’re describing needs someone who knows the ins and outs of the bomb well enough to know which to cut, so they’ll know the position of the wire to cut.
Grace: Can you just let me have fun?
Stratt: No.
Shapiro: Do you ever think about how many songs are secretly about sex?
Grace: Wha- no? But now I am.
Stratt, pointing a threatening finger at Grace and Carl: Do not make more children while I’m out.
*flight crew + Grace, driving back from getting bubble tea*
Grace: *chokes*
Dubois: Are you alright?
Grace: I’m fine, I just choked on a boba. I wasn’t expecting it.
Ilyukhina: How? You are drinking boba tea!
Grace, defensively: Well, you have to suck really hard to get it up!
Dubois: *eyebrow raise*
Shapiro: *giggling*
Grace: Wait- NO!
Shapiro: *more giggling*
Grace: Shut up! God, there’s another one stuck. I’m just gonna-mmm.
Dubois: You’re just going to what?
Grace, reluctantly: I was gonna say suck it up.
Shapiro, fully cracking up by now: You’re making this so easy for me-
Ilyukhina, also grinning: Maybe if you suck on it with your tongue in the way…
Grace: SHUT UP!!!
Ilyukhina, innocently: What? I was just giving detailed explanation of how you suck it.
Shapiro: *wheeze*
Yáo, from the front seat: I’m going to crash this fucking car.
Ilyukhina, to Stratt: I’d jump in front of a gun for you <3
Stratt, with a straight face: Please don’t. I’d move out of the way and you’d just get shot like an idiot.
Ilyukhina, happily singing: We’re going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship-
Grace, dead serious: I will jump off.
Grace, reading a label: Give 1.5 cap…cap…caplets with breakfast.
Shapiro: Uh, are you having a stroke?
Grace: Usually medicine bottles say capsules OR tablets. This one says caplets. I thought I was going nuts.
Stratt, irritated from a stepladder: You don’t have to be straight, the clock has to be straight.
Grace: Well that’s rude. The clock can be whatever it wants to be.
Ilyukhina, slamming her palms down on the table: LET THE CLOCK LOVE WHO IT WANTS TO LOVE!
Grace: What if rocks are secretly alive and have just been, like, hibernating this whole time?
Dubois: Okay, neither of us is getting any work done right now.
Grace, thoughtfully: Like a really, really long hibernation.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I know we all know how much the rest of the Hail Mary crew would’ve loved meeting Rocky (RIP Olesya Ilyukhina you will always have a special place in my heart) but you know who we totally forget would’ve loved to meet an actual, intelligent alien?
Eva Motherfucking Stratt
Everyone forgets (especially movie fans since I don’t think they even brought it up for y’all) that Stratt wasn’t a scientist like the rest of her crew. Sure, she was definitely smart enough to understand most of what they told her, but it wasn’t her field of study. She wasn’t a biologist or a chemist or an astrophysicist, she was a historian. She was also recommended for the project because she was an incredibly talented diplomat. Canonically, she’s fluent in at least seven languages, and probably speaks several more- give her a day, and she’ll understand Eridian almost as well as Grace. The atmospheric testing, the experimentation with Xenonite, that’s all her crew. But getting to know an alien race, learning all about their language and their history and their culture? That’s her thing, right there.
TL;DR: If anyone would have been absolutely fascinated to sit down and learn about society on another planet, it would’ve been Eva Stratt. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

STARTED WORKING ON Ao3 AND AT WORK ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR!?
AO3 curse getting a head start (no but actually are you OKAY OMG???)
Just testing the waters here
I've been getting the comment from AO3 readers a lot lately about how hard it can be to find Bloodpotions-centric fics, and I personally (with the help of some moots lol) have collected a pretty sizeable list...would any fellow Bloodpotions fans be interested in having an AO3 collection put together, to make it easier for readers to find?
BP collection???
Yes, and I would like to add my fics myself
Yes, and I don't care if OP adds my works to the collection
Yes, I'm a reader and would like to see it
Nah (dumbass)
https://archiveofourown.org/faq/collections?language_id=en#collectionoptions
In case anyone is unfamiliar with collection rules, btw.
(gonna tag a couple of my moots in hopes of getting this to the right people lol
