oh and also every time someone automatically assigns Adrian a human gender or pronoun for no reason an angel dies as well btw.

I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS

not to make a fandom thing super serious or anything but it does all kind of show that there are a lot of cis people out there who see non-binary/genderless people as just men and women who say they're not and then they just cordially go along with that so when they're presented with a species that canonically only has one gender, one that is neither male nor female, they can't handle it and Have to assign them a binary human gender anyways.

stop calling them "she" just because they're rocky's mate and grace calls him "he" stop calling them "he" just because they're drawn bigger than rocky in a lot of fanart get the intense heteronormativity and needless desire for sexual dimorphism out of your head and just see them as a living being instead please

Project Hail Mary through grace and rocky's relationship, is proof that platonic relationships can be just as deep as romantic ones.

@ aroace-ryland-grace

So you know how rocky talks about his mate, Adrian? He’s been with them for 186 years, and “It’s not enough”. He will get 30~ with grace. Imagine how heartbroken he will be

Rocky spent 46 years orbiting Tau Ceti. Alone. And by the time he meets Grace, their time together is already a fast-ticking clock. They’d have 30 years together, maybe 40 if they push it. There is a world where Rocky spends more time drifting alone through space than he will ever have with Grace. (But those 30/40 years mean everything.)

the project hail mary universe is one of the only ones out there where orpheus turning around actually saved eurydice btw
