very fitting that the crew members who were prepared to die were metaphorically dead from the very beginning and, inevitably, literally dead from the beginning. they had gone into their comas, anticipating their premature deaths, and accepting that they would not survive. meanwhile grace had never agreed to die. he had not been dead from the beginning. he was not accepting of it and he refused it. and he was the one who held onto life in spite of the many risks throughout the mission. which, again, is rather fitting for the sole person dedicated to saving the planet. him and the earth are parallels, fighting to stay alive and to hold onto what they have left. him fighting to stay on earth and refusing a suicide mission is deeply entwined with earth's desperation to live, rather than just being a thing of contradiction. they both just want to survive, even if it kills the other. and that makes him all the better to understand and believe in the world he wants to protect.

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”

i think there is a difference between a knowingly flawed character and a thematically uncomfortable character and knowing the difference is half the battle

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

I know we're all sort of picturing Rocky just hanging out fully depressed with 22 dead crewmates for 40+ years but I need you all to imagine, just for a second, Rocky holding 22 heart-wrenching space burials and then having the greatest post-burial crashout mirroring Ryland's vodka party. He was probably starfishing on the ground for 2 weeks straight, singing to himself before he got a grip again. I need more headcanons about Rocky doing stupid shit to cope with his grief. Movie!Ryland got to dance with a broom. Fandom, work your magic.
