Okay I know we're all waxxing poetics about Ryland Grace and how reading him as aroace makes perfect sense- how aroace people are often seen as "expendable". I know we all love talking about how Grace deserved to live just as much as anyone else, about how his life didn't matter any less than others just because he didn't have a partner.

May I propose we talk about Mark Watney?

Mark was just one person. One singular person who was stranded on an alien planet, with almost no chance of survival.

And yet- the whole world came together to support him. NASA spent who knows how many millions of dollars to try and get him home.

One person. One man who doesn't have a romantic partner, kids, a dog- he has his parents and that's it. But his life was still important. It was important enough for his crew to spend extra months away from their families to save him. His life was important enough for the Chinese national space agency to give up their secret rocket design to help NASA.

We keep talking about how society views aroace people as "useless" and how Graces life "wasn't important enough" but I think looking at some more positive "rep" would be nice this pride month. ("Rep"- it's not canon and weir most likely did not intend for his character to be read like this, but in my head Mark's story could very well be tied to him being aromantic.)

It would have been really easy to give Watney a girlfriend or a wife back home on earth- someone he'd want to come back to, someone people would feel bad about, someone people would connect to and wish their partner would get back to them- but no. There's no love interest. Marks life matters because he is a human being. That's it. He's a person who deserves to live, someone who deserves to be saved and love happily. Mark fights to survive just because he wants to live.

[stiffyck]

I also want to point out that everyone else on marks crew has a romantic partner or a family of their own.

All of them except for Mark. Marks the one to get stuck on Mars, and he matters just as much as any of his other crewmates.

Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.

Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.

And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.

When You Look at Dr. Grace

(part 1) part 2/2

text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]

[rudjedet]

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", but it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

i think it’s a crime that folks are scared of making overpowered characters for fear of being cringy. make them damn near deity level!!! make them hilariously unaware of it!!!! be cringe! be free!!!
