and I am unanimous in that

Welp, you all won’t believe what I stayed up to 2 am working on!

Anyway, have an aroace themed Project Hail Mary cover. I tried to keep a good chunk of the OG cover design (because I actually really like it) and just added in some fun additions to it~

Inspired by my wonderful friends under the cut

Bonus:

Kara.

"She's so gross and disgusting."

"She wants little girls to look up to her?? Her character lives in filth."

BITCH SHE'S FUCKING DEPRESSED. HER ENTIRE CITY DIED AROUND HER FROM RADIATION POISONING AND SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SURVIVE.

SHE'S BINGE DRINKING AND DOING PUB CRAWLS ON OTHER PLANETS SO THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO REMEMBER HER OWN PLANET DYING SLOWLY. SO THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO REMEMBER HER PARENTS DYING IN FRONT OF HER.

DEPRESSION IS DISGUSTING. IT'S NOT CLEANING YOUR ROOM FOR MONTHS ON END. IT'S NOT BRUSHING YOUR TEETH FOR A WEEK. IT'S NOT TAKING A SHOWER FOR TWO WEEKS. IT'S GETTING DRUNK TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS.

IT'S NOT JUST "Oh, boo-hoo, I'm big sad." IT'S LIVING IN FILTH BECAUSE LIFE JUST FEELS SO MEANINGLESS THAT THERE'S NO POINT IN CLEANING UP. IT'S NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY.

GIRLS NEED TO BE SHOWN THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DEPRESSED IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STAY THAT WAY. SHIT SUCKS. LIFE SUCKS. PEOPLE SUCK. BUT IT DOES GET BETTER, AND YOU CAN GET BETTER.

YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE NICE, BUT YOU MUST BE GOOD.

1) She wasn’t superpowered on Argo. She was exactly the same as she was on any other red sun planet except sicker. Unlike Clark, she didn’t grow up super. This is what her body normally feels like to her. Being super on Earth is new and unnatural to her.

2) She’s in a state of mental anguish, disassociation, and grief and is self-medicating through that with her dog and alcohol and guess what? Alcohol doesn’t work on Earth or any other yellow sun system.

3) The point of the movie is that you have to choose to be good and kind, and that it’s hard, and that also being good and kind does not look the same for everyone. For Kara, making that choice also meant choosing to become sober in the face of her depression and alocholism, which is extremely difficult for any alcoholic. She needed something beyond Ruthye’s plea to force her into action, and that was putting her best friend and emotional support animal’s life in jeopardy. Nothing else was enough to motivate her.

4) Relapsing is extremely common and expected. The dual sun planet mimicked the way that you can start feeling better on your antidepressants and then get hit out of nowhere with another wave of it. It’s awful. But guess what? There’s still hope if you wait it out.

5) The fights in the movie progressed from seeking to self-harm (she enjoyed the physical novelty of being hurt on Ruthye’s planet when she fought the thief) to preventing hurt (to Ruthye’s childhood and psyche and the girls who would have been trafficked had she not ended the bandit ring), which is also a journey of acceptance of her new powers. She goes from resenting having them because they are inextricably related to the death of her family and people, to accepting that she has the power to do real good and prevent other people hurting the way she is.
