I love you Eva "I am getting a good grade in social interaction" Stratt!
Eva: The consensus here is that it would be preferable if you did not die.
Grace (sarcastically): Thanks guys :/
Eva (proud of herself, taking him completely literally): :)

Look, I don't think Rocky would judge Grace for not wanting to go on the Mary. Like, it's a terrible situation that I don't think anybody knows how they'd react to (including Rocky, remember his mission wasn't a suicide mission, he was always meant to come home) and also it's an obviously traumatic and upsetting incident that happened to a close friend.
Rocky can be an asshole (affectionate) at times, but I think he knows when not to push certain subjects. Grace doesn't make light of anything to do with radiation around Rocky, Rocky respects Grace's complicated feelings about the whole kidnapping thing. It's what friends are for.
I do, however, think that Rocky would be fucking merciless about ragging Grace for the whole 'didn't realise he was second in command' thing.
I mean, originally when Grace tells him that, I think Rocky would accept it. Rocky knows basically nothing about human social structures, after all, and absolutely nothing about the hierarchy of the Petrova Task Force. Maybe it's normal for people's exact positions in human hierarchies to be somewhat ambiguous. Maybe there were multiple second in commands so it was easy for Grace to not realise he was special. Rocky doesn't know.
Then, over time and the journey to Erid, more stories start to emerge and… wait, why was Grace at the copyright court case thing? What does Grace mean, Stratt just took him everywhere, question?
Huh, Grace was also in charge of helping the crew choose their suicide plans? And trained alongside them every step of the way?
Grace had an office on the Vat. Grace was responsible for most of the science team and was present for every important new hire's first interview.
Grace was part of the decision to PAVE HIS PLANET'S DESERTS AND USE RADIATION ENERGY WEAPONS TO DESTROY THE POLAR ICE CAPS??? And yeah, the explanation of what nuclear weapons are is not a fun discussion for either of them.
Oh and even less fun discussion: Grace was the one who ultimately persuaded Stratt to put the crew into comas for the journey.
(This reveal causes one of their few major fights on the way to Erid, because Rocky is not a fan of things that put Grace at risk or of forced, unobserved sleep in general, and because Grace is very defensive and guilty about making a decision that killed two of his close friends. Lots of yelling and subsequent sulking at opposite ends of the ship ensues.)
But yeah, Rocky is starting to doubt Grace's reliability as a narrator, statement. And Rocky is going to express this doubt loudly and frequently whenever Grace mentions his surprise at being second in command on the Task Force, because that is also what friends are for.
When they get to Erid, and Grace is inevitably a part of multiple projects, both to support his own survival on Erid and to improve Eridian science, Rocky is going to pointedly ask Grace if he's sure he's aware of exactly how important he is to these projects, as the only alien on Erid.
Would Grace like Rocky to ask the head of the science thrum to clarify Grace's exact place in the hierarchy again, statement?
Would Grace like Rocky to make him a badge with that information on it, question, to aid his weak human memory?
Rocky can probably manufacture some version of a human marker pen should Grace want to write the info on his hand. Wouldn't want any confusion there.
(Grace puts up with the teasing both because he's willing to put up with a lot of teasing from Rocky, and because it actually is helpful for him to be constantly reassured of his exact status and role in the project. He hasn't reminded Rocky yet that the last time he was allowed to gloss over that kind of thing it was because his superior was planning to secretly send him to space…)
I think that the quote “you have no immediate family. You don’t even have a dog.” DOES have the implication from Stratt that Grace has no obligations on earth, and no one who depends on him emotionally or physically (not true). BUT ALSO it means that because everybody currently close to Grace is on Project Hail Mary, there will be nobody to protest Grace being launched into space against his will.
And that’s what freaks Grace out so much. Stratt can totally get away with this, and nobody is going to even try to stop her.
Drew another scene from my fic because I love them. I've seen a lot of people using text from screenshots lately and I really liked the style so I used it here as well haha
yet another cosmic unfairness: a manatee is some kind of big fat dumpling beast of the sea that wants you to pet it so bad we had to make laws against doing just that for their safety
jail time and a desire to see them thrive are the only things staying my tender heart and gentle hand

Hear me out on Erid gone wrong, gone polycule
America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)
To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.
They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.
The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.
BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.
The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.
I think this model is the best one for several reasons:
It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups
It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.
It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader
This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.
#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of
yah that goes in the post
The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.
It’s important to note that almost every sect of evangelical christianity in the US today fails the BITE Model.
This was the post that lead to breaking my JW mindset. Been a while since I seen it.
I’m glad I could help in your deconstruction, if only a little bit. I wish you all the luck in your journey moving forward.
It’s tricky with parenting, because parents have to control their children’s lives to start with, since newborns are incapable of taking care of themselves.
A healthy parent will gradually relinquish control as their child grows and becomes more capable. And even while they’re in charge, they will treat their child with honesty and transparency and respect. They’ll prepare their child for independence, giving them the tools they need to live their own life.
A culty, abusive parent will go far beyond the level of control that their role requires. They will use manipulation and undue influence, taking advantage of their child’s naivete and malleable mind for the parent’s own benefit and agenda. They will continue to exercise this control well into their child’s adulthood, possibly their whole life.

One of the many downsides of the Hail Mary being a suicide mission is that Armando is likely only equipped to keep astronauts alive for as long as they're useful to the mission.
Obviously this is going to be reflected in the amount of painkillers and general medicines he's been supplied with— enough for three astronauts to last several months to a few years max— but also… there's really no point in keeping any of those astronauts alive after they stop being useful to the mission.
Grace finds this out when he gets to a certain point in his starvation on the journey to Erid and, instead of offering medical advice, Armando announces that Doctor Grace is far too sick to continue being of use and so it’s recommended that his fellow crew members euthanise him to save on resources.
That is. Not a good day for shipboard morale.
Armando might have starved the other two due to complications it couldn't fix.
More food for grace meant a better chance of finding a solution.
If armando did recommend the crewmates euthanize grace, that means that it couldn't have done that.
But since armando is in the biodome, it probably never told him
you put those tags on this post where they belong
Western passport holders will never understand. To go anywhere with a third worlder passport like a Filipino one, you need your tax returns, certificate of employment, bank statements, marriage certificates, sometimes a recommendation from a citizen of the country you want to travel to, everything possible to prove that you have a job and a family at home and you're not planning to be an illegal immigrant, JUST to get hit with a rejection because the embassy didn't believe you had enough proof.
Did you have travel plans? Already booked the plane tickets and hotels? Fuck you, better hope they issue refunds (they don't).
Americans and Western Europeans will never understand how insanely hard and bothersome it's to travel anywhere with a weak passport, let alone immigrate.
You want to study abroad? Show us proof that there is a quadrillion dollars in your bank account. Oh, an average monthly salary in your country is $400 and you plan to work when you arrive? You can't do that, silly, a student visa only allows you to work 2 hours every third Wednesday, and if we find out that you're working a second more we will deport you.
You want to work abroad? Better be a programmer, then of course you are welcome. Doctor, scientist, white-collar or, god forbid, blue-collar worker? You can fuck right off, your visa application goes straght into trash.
But if you marry one of our first-world citizens, then fine, you can come. Because we can't upset them, after all, they are a real person, unlike you.
EU Advice to people who have friends in places with weak passports- go to your department of foreigners and ask for something that called Formal Letter of Invitation or something similar. It usually is called something similar and costs a few euro/whatever currency you have. It will not be more than a fancy coffee at Starbucks or such place.
You will have to prove that you can afford a guest, have some income and also usually take responsibility for possible deportation cost.
But if you really are inviting a friend over, they will give you a formal document you can send to your friend. Then the friend applies for a visa while attaching the Very Official document with it. They will get the Schengen visa and most probably will get it expedited too.
It's some effort, but if it's for a friend it's worth it. And it's way less costly than the ridiculous loops the friend is being forced to go through and pay for multiple 3rd party services just to get a freaking visa for a month.
The Muppet Show (1976-1981)
How does Bunsen go back and forth between having eyes and not having eyes. Ive watched this for five minutes straight now, doesn't matter.
Every time he pulls his glasses up, "damn, the bunsen muppet really doesn't have any eyes, how odd" and then he pulls them back down again and it's, "oh thank God you put your glasses back on Dr Bunsen, I was worried the results were too blurry for you to read!"
For this game of dodgeball, I will be specifically targeting the gayest and most autistic among you to eliminate.
Okay so normal rules then

"there's no platonic explanation for this" some of y'all need better friends
"there's no platonic explanation for this" some of y'all need to be better friends
yknow. i really appreciate ryan gosling's commitment to keeping the canon Grace reaction of just fucking crying the entire time. it's in character, and it's like, an extremely realistic reaction to the situation at hand. But. from most actor's ive heard (both irl friends and interviews from professionals) have bemoaned crying scenes in film, because it can be very draining and give you a splitting headache to do multiple takes etc etc. So they could have dialed it back and saved the tears for the more poignant moments. but no. they clearly went fuck it, we're committing. Grace is a Crier. here. have him crying in happiness, sadness, despair, terror, relief, disbelief, overwhelming joy. Have some heaving sobs. have some single tears. oohhh this man is gonna Cry about it.
