The Gay And The Guilty

Shoutout to Project Hail Mary for being the only media where the unconscious protagonist is dragged off screen by an alien spider monster and the audience's reaction is heartbreak on behalf of the alien spider monster.

Also imagine you’re the eridians in this scenario. You figure out space travel for the first time to try to save your world, and finally you get a signal that something has docked at the space elevator and the elevator is currently descending. You open the door when it gets down, expecting to see a good chunk of the team, or even just the leader perhaps. But instead you find a single eridian, not even the leader or any of the scientists, but the engineer who is visibly having a full blown panic attack and as soon as they hear you starts screaming about an alien they need to feed, still having a panic attack. Can you fucking imagine. Terrifying.

two months into rockys reintegration into eridian society IE after grace starts recovering from the effects of his longterm starvation enough that rocky cant sidestep the problem of interacting with other eridians any longer, rocky starts fantasizing about what itd be like if he couldve just stayed on the hail mary with grace forever. just the two of them. no starvation, no emergencies, and no trying to fit himself back into a society that he is too broken to answer to. just him and grace, forever :) the hail mary isnt even officially decommissioned its still right there in orbit. a few repairs and she'd be back in working order again. They already have the food problem worked out they could just link up with the space elevator each month for supplies. And then graces fragile little bones wont crumble into dust under erids intense atmosphere and grace will make it to big age 125. Grace why are you laughing at me Grace this is a serious offer

Thinking about what the meaning of "You believe in God?" "It's better than the alternative" becomes when specifically Eva Stratt says it. Better than the alternative, which is that there is no power in all of this that is higher than me
