And the Romans threw people to the lions for entertainment purposes, you raging hypocrite

#andy weir #project hail mary #eva stratt #ryland grace #dr. lokken #you just got voluntold #this woman rules the whole planet #good thing she actually wants to save the world instead of..not #very happy I'm not in her line of sight #don't want to wake up in outer space or something #I guess she's not actually old enough #but she gets an honourary #grumpy old ladies are my jam #tag

Every parent knows this means trouble

#the tomb of dragons #katherine addison #thara celehar #iäna pel thenhior #he swept you away #easily 😏#i hope this is the book these two will finally figure it out

While this is not our dimension, I absolutely love this perspective. What if all our stories of elves and trolls and fairies are actually faint collective memories of the other human species we shared the Earth with at one time? What if we remember elves dancing and singing because these other humans did? We'd never know because we don't have a time machine and maybe some actual experts in the field can already say it's unlikely because of X Y and Z - but what if? I'll be thinking about this all week

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #interdimensional neanderthals #neanderthals #other human species #elves #trolls #fairies #all of them #such a fascinating thought

I love her even more than before

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #kay amal khan #dr rat #grumpy old ladies are my jam #don't mess with the smartest lady in the dimension #poor dr rat #but she will damn well save his family #and rightly so

The neanderthals from a different dimension get it <3

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #Stig #interdimensional neanderthals #neanderthals #the more different perspectives the merrier

None of us (or very few of us) would know anything remotely useful if we were plonked into an alien world with stone age levels of technology and we all know it

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #elsinore mallory #lee pryor #like for real #on the next page she explains she tried to invent the Wheel #except that doesn't work in this landscape or they would have already invented it #how does electricity work? not a clue #sewing things? well if I have a machine #you can knit? okay but can you make your own yarn?#I'd be so screwed over #this is the book of relatable characters with relatable reactions

Two women have been dating for years and you want to tell me they use vague euphemisms for their period? I find that hard to believe

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #lee pryor #elsinore mallory #periods #vague euphemisms #they would absolutely just call it what it is #male author doesn't want to get into it?#or editor said this needs to be polite?#idk but I don't buy it

My favourite snarky honorary grumpy old lady

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #kay amal khan #interdimensional neanderthals #Stigs #plug-uglies #whatever they are #grumpy old ladies are my jam #natural history museum

I love her

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #kay amal khan #she's probably not all that old #but still she gets an honorary mention #as a Grumpy old lady #grumpy old ladies are my jam #shrinking violet #indeed

Raise your hand if you also can't remember what you texted two minutes ago 🙋🏻‍♀️

#adrian tchaikovsky #the doors of eden #Lucas may #I sort of figure this guy will be a villain #or at least an antagonist #but I relate #stressed people facing the end of the world #yep checks out #same
