I follow the "leave nothing but footprints take nothing but photos" rule of state/national parks yeah because conservation. But also because when I was 11 i read a short story about a girl who went to a museum and stole a bandage flake off a mummy on display with the mentality of "im just one person one piece won't be missed" then at night she was visited by the mummy and it plucked a single hair from her head and then the next night a different mummy took another hair and she realized that there were only so many pieces to her before there would be nothing left and that story was forever wedged in my brain. Anyways leave cool rocks where you find them or the mummies will get you
Me And My Problems time nothing to do with the wider fandom etc different strokes for different people etc etc there's only one thing I do begrudge and it's the author's fault (what the fuck kind of attempt at pinyin was that)
anyway it's been kicking me in the insecurity in three (3) different directions which,
like all I wanted was a straightforward charming lil exploration of the weird rocks....I thought the hortas (pizza shaped rock star trek aliens) were really fun but the fact that they lacked leggies like those galloping ancient alligators to be a design flaw....
things I appreciate/have loved in other places that have shown up in project hail mary:
dying in a cozy vessel that's venturing out forever (esp as seen in sunless sea)
solo space exploration (\o/)
THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN (my beloved DAWN MACHINE)
TRAVELLER RETURNING
holing up in a stark spaceship environment with an alien who's becoming a pal and learning to adjust to life while on a quest to save the universe (homestuck, specifically that decade old set of fics)
american space fox teacher (Jedao)
space + spiders + memory + quests + life and death (genre which includes Do You Remem8er Me)
program music
ok, like actually this angers me but that patch on his arm + general blondness with spectacles + alien pal
rock aliens (hortas + didn't see stephen universe given generally inability to watch stuff but I did Behold the geology themed characters with Envy)
being ordered on a suicide mission (general cmedia, eg. General Yue Fei widely acknowledged as the best hope of Saving China at that point who got a ruler that just completely biffed it, which is NOT what happens here. this is the most justified anyone has ever been btw.)
beachfront property <3 (the zee znail zhell, fallen london)
scientific discoveries that save people (fairly sure I learnt the term savior from the first line of the internationale on a monument somewhere. HOWEVER I do think that stuff like penicillin and vaccines really, I'm. the Taumeba scene was really effective QAQ)
movie moderately increased my enjoyment of stuff like trees and beaches. I love them already but now I can sit in Redwoods like that don't go crazy room scene in the beginning and thinking blissful/幸灾乐祸 thoughts about how I'm not in space
Things that I personally do not enjoy :(
relationship issues on Earth
AO3 Tag Ryland Grace Needs A Hug
Grace is AroAce but the universe bends to make sure he's settled into a stable QPR on Erid, immediately
he's so loved! the universe is love (?)
Like...it's totally fine, Ryland Grace DOES need a hug as clearly depicted in the movie, the issue is from seeing stuff in aggregate as I employ my maladaptive "blue whale inhaling krill" style of tag trawling
but writing this out does ...make me think about what I would like/hope to see more of, which I will list! in the event that I manage to learn skills and do any of it myself:
dumbass roommate shenanigans (fic where Grace gets a concussion from improperly secured panel during ikea assembly fight my beloved)
illustrations really chewing and digesting the visual motifs (the lovely art flooded with fluorescent green and red like the whole reason I got into homestuck)
I'm given to understand that for spider-society I should look to Adrian "Spiders" Tchaikovsky so I will do that
Grocky xeno (very much satisfied on this end, I love the ready-made use of socket wrenches)
another teacher grace moment i love is when rocky gives him the oxygen model he goes 'i dont have one of these thank you!' like that is THE most teacher response ever when a child gives them something utterly incomprehensible but made with love

One year ago today I made my first piece of lace! I had started seeing videos of lacemaking on tiktok and was amazed because I had never seen it before, and didn't understand how it worked. I decided to just watch one video so I could understand what was happening. But after watching the video, it just clicked in my head and I was like I could do that. I went to a thrift shop and bought a box of pins and a huge spool of mystery thread (i think it is a cotton or linen something, still haven't been able to identify it for sure), and got to work.
My first attempt at a setup was using a foam yoga mat as a bolster pillow
but that did not work for me 😂 I couldn't control the bobbins and it was just too big to be manageable. so instead i switched to the laptop case and thus my first two pieces of lace were made
I then started making my way through the beginner torchon patterns from Jo Edkin's Online Lace School.
In November, I moved from Switzerland where I had been attending grad school back home to the US and updated my lace pillow from a laptop case to a folded piece of felt and got my hands on a few different lace books (the three my library had lol) to start trying out some new things (1, 2,3)
For Christmas, I received a lace pillow and some bobbins and was surprised at how much I improved just with the right equipment
In April I did a bunch of research and got to work making myself a Honiton lace pillow. I loved the process of making it and definitely want to make more in the future.
I joined my local lace group and have attended some events and gotten to meet a lot of great people already and hope that I can start attending more events soon! I'm also hoping to maybe start demonstrating at events later this year and share my love for lace with more people.
I had an idea about what gene mutations could look like in Eridians. I'm gonna start rambling about this!! no one can stop me!!
As their eggs (embryos?? kinda???) merge outside, does that mean they lay singular or in broods? like a whole nest of them? if so, then how do the eggs 'choose' which other egg they join with, what if there was some mutation in an Eridian specific gene that led to some kind of hormone confusion and multiple eggs merged into one optimal egg and led to different placement of limbs, extra limbs, or less of a gene issue and more of a an embryo issue leading to a whole conjoined twin situation
(also jade stone because that's my name, it felt obligatory!!)
Did someone say they wanted a ref sheet of The Hail Mary? No?! Too bad here she is!
Since I have been obsessively drawing her, I thought I might as well make a proper ref sheet to make the process smoother. And possibly help others lol It is NOT super detailed. Just enough to help map out the ship.
(I can already tell Tumblr is gonna nuke the quality so please click on the images and open in a new tab to see them better)
Room labeling of the Dormitory area and Mental Health Room is purely guess work.
Credit to this wonderful video showing off the centrifugal system, for the closer look of the model that made this possible/easier, especially for the actual crew space.
Keep in mind I at any point might update this, if a more accurate model is shown. The one in the video is pretty close spare for a few minor details.

Something I haven't seen many people talk about in PHM is the fact that Eridians probably don't have the same attitudes towards time as humans do. Think about it: Erid is an inherently dayless place, having an atmosphere that allows no light and thus no concept of day or night. We don't really think much about how our entire lives are structured around this cycle that Earth life has been experiencing for eons. Erid life has no concept of this at all. Eridian sleep schedules are somewhat irregular and not synced to each other (they can't be, not if someone always stays awake to watch). They don't track birthdays like we do, they can't unless they're paying attention to their solar cycle, which I'd expect is a relatively new thing for their culture. Maybe they base age on their near-perfect memories or how many layers their carapace has or how big they are, or experiences/accomplishments. They may have an idea of an Eridian year, if their planet has seasons or something like that, but I doubt it has a whole lot of importance to them.
I'd image having an alien who relies so heavily on cycles and repeated patterns in order to function normally would be mind-boggling to the Eridians. What do you mean it celebrates the exact day of its birth every so often, just because? Wait we need to program a reliable change in light levels to simulate its planet, which has almost no atmosphere? And we have to schedule any interactions we have with it around this cycle? Wait it tracks its age by the scientific year, not by life experience and physical aging?
Constantly being reminded that this guy Rocky brought home that saved their entire planet is, in fact, a complete alien.
now, i do enjoy the "grace breaks his glasses and is despondent because it's his only pair" head canons because i love drama and misery, but also this is NASA. They sent him up there with like ten extra pairs because a) it's NASA and b) everyone fucking saw how Grace treated his glasses. The original redundancy plan probably called for like 5 pairs but then Stratt took one look at that and was "absolutely not, he's a fucking menace double that immediately"
Grace and Rocky, giving a tour of the Hail Mary to fascinated Eridian scientists and diplomats.
Pointing at things and explaining what they are and how the ship works, lots of awed and appreciative noises are made.
Until one of the visiting Eridians points out a specific item. “And that?”
It’s a strange, circular thing, a xenonite disk mounted upright on some sort of pivot so it can spin freely, but around the edges it has… spokes? Pegs? Sticking out of it, that hit against a stiff flap that would slow down the spinning.
It is also separated into sections decorated with crude etchings of a human and an Eridian.
“Ah,” Grace says.
“That,” Rocky says.
“That’s. Um.” Grace seems somewhat embarrassed. “That’s the sacrifice wheel.”
The Eridian visitors clearly do not know what to make of that. “We think we misunderstood Savior Grace’s word,” they say, apparently hoping this is a vocabulary mix-up. “Explain (question, polite)?”
“Didn’t misunderstand,” says Rocky, sounding very sheepish. “That is sacrifice wheel.”
“So. While we were on our way to Erid, we might have gotten… anxious about each other’s well-being,” Grace says, which everyone is already very aware is a wild understatement. “And, well, you heard what happened at Tau Ceti, and after. There were a lot of unexpected dangers for the whole trip that required a lot of, at least, attempted self-sacrifice to solve. We ended up almost dying for each other several times. And we had an argument about what we’d do if another crisis like that came up. And we couldn't agree.”
“Grace argued that Grace already was unlikely to survive long-term on Erid, so he should be the one to do any potential deadly but necessary maneuvers to make sure I was able to bring taumoeba back,” Rocky says.
“Which made sense.”
“Did not make sense! Grace already sacrificed so much for me and for Erid, wouldn’t be fair to make you do it again—“ Rocky cuts himself off with a huff. They have obviously had this conversation before. “So sacrifice wheel was compromise.”
“Yeah,” Grace says. He spins it to demonstrate; it whirls around in a blur and a rattle of the flap hitting the pegs, then eventually slows down, and stops—pointing at the segment depicting a very bad but very clear image of an Eridian. “Rocky made the wheel, I spin the wheel, and whoever it lands on, that’s who gets to sacrifice themself to save the other and the other person does not get to argue. This way, we wouldn’t waste time debating who does the self-sacrifice and who survives, it’s just a plain fifty-fifty chance. Or, eighteen-eighteen chance in base six. But the point is it could be either of us and we would have to accept the outcome.”
Rocky started fidgeting while Grace was explaining. When Grace finishes, proud of the equitable solution they came up with to allow them to die for each other fairly, Rocky says, “Now that we are back and we don’t need sacrifice wheel anymore… I have confession to make. About the wheel.”
“What about the wheel?”
Rocky doesn’t answer. Grace frowns, first confused, then suspicious, and spins the wheel again.
It lands on Rocky again.
He spins the wheel again, and again, and again, and it lands on Rocky every single time.
“Rocky!”
“I weighted the wheel,” Rocky admits.
“Rocky the whole point was that it was equal, that was why we even made it—“
“Never was necessary so doesn’t matter anymore!”
“But you WOULD have!”
“And you never noticed because you were hungry and cranky and distracted and so would have done bad job on heroic self-sacrifice anyway!”
“I would not! I would have done fine!”
(The Eridian scientists and diplomats are still here watching this btw. Slowly dawning on them that 1) these two are extremely not normal about each other 2) if Erid ever does another space mission they NEED to send a therapist aboard because this is what happens when they don’t)

Kneading bread dough is the most grounding thing for me. So I decided to make some rolls to relieve some stress and make something nice.
@stealingyourbones has made some delightful food abominations, which taught me I can replace the water in bread with almost any liquid.
So I tried Miso.
The yeast loved it and frothed up super fast. Mixing miso broth with the egg and oil smelled funky. The dough didn’t rise any fluffier than usual but the texture feels good. Then I decided to roll in some black garlic and green onion. I’d add nori crumbled up but I ran out.
This is amazing. It tastes like if miso soup was solid. The flavor is immaculate. It’s just missing the nori flavor. I can add that next time because I am 100% making this again.
- mix in slowly with a fork until it’s hard to stir with the fork, then stir together with hands until it stops sticking to your skin when you rub your hands together.
- knead the dough about 10min until it starts pushing back (it gets springy)
Let the dough rest for 30min.
(I make a redneck proof box by microwaving a cup of water and quickly replacing the water with the dough bowl and shutting the door to give it a warm place to nap. Do not microwave the dough itself by reflex.)
Roll out the dough and add any flavors you like. For the miso soup bread I chopped up a couple black garlics, and a handful of green onion. Roll it up like cinnamon rolls, cut into 12, and roll each into a ball shape.
Stick in a greased 9x13 casserole dish and let the dough rise to double size. (About 40min-1hr depending on how warm your kitchen is.) (the redneck proof box won’t fit my casserole dish so I stick the rolls on top of the oven while it preheats with a dish towel over it.)
Preheat the oven to 350 and when the dough looks nice and squishy bake it for 20min.
You can brush butter on top if you want. That would look pretty and help a sprinkling of furikake stick after you pull it out of the oven. If you wanna up the miso taste you can also spread a very thin layer of miso paste in before you roll it up with the other fillings. I’m gonna try that next time.
Bake! Eat! Enjoy! Knead all your frustrations into the bread then cleanse it with fire! Lemme know how yours turn out 💕🍀✨🥖
