in these small hours

Phil on his instagram!

In order to sign up for the Project Hail Mary Reverse Bang, your artwork does not need to be finished!

When you sign up, all we ask is for you to join our Discord and ask what type of artwork you think you'd draw. Specifically, we ask whether you plan to draw a crossover with another fandom (such as Iron Lung, the MCU, The Fall Guy, etc.) and whether you believe your artwork would be NSFW.

As for the timeline, it's available on our carrd.

In this situation it’s ryan who thinks naim is the entity, so he reverts to violence the only way he knows how to in the context of being gay. His previous experiences with hunter all involved violence as a precursor to affection. as he lets out his anger at what he imagines to be entity!Naim it of course leads back to that, this thing that has been wearing naim’s face — naim, who he actually cares about; naim, who is the first to have offered him vulnerability without the prerequisite of violence. As it subverts naim’s character, ryan subverts his own role in his relationship with naim to deal with it; as entity!Naim is the opposite of the care ryan has come to associate with naim, how ryan treats it becomes the opposite of how he treats, or would treat, naim. the opposite of his relationship with naim, eg his relationship with hunter. the entity targets ryan’s desire for naim and uses it against him, making affection and sexuality into violence again. and by using ryan’s new trust of naum in order to isolate and attack him, the entity is intended to make being gay into something to be frightened of — a new attempt at enforcing internalized homophobia, meant to force ryan into compulsory heterosexuality: the outcome the church wants from this whole event.

Once upon a time there was nothing, and it lived in the corner of Mouse’s room. There was space between the bed and the cupboard that was big enough for nothing else.

There wasn’t much room for nothing in Mouse’s house. Everything everywhere had something in it, and sometimes more. Everywhere that looked like it might have nothing really had something, like dust or a cornflake or a LEGO head or a shadow, and if it looked like there was nothing for even a moment, someone would come and put something there.

It was very hard to be nothing in Mouse’s house. Every corner had something in it, and if it didn’t, there was a spider living there. Everything was always some colour or another, and usually some noise. Everyone was always putting a book down on you. Or spilling Ribena on you and pretending they hadn’t. Or complaining that there was no room for anything, and shifting about all the other things, but never making room for nothing - only moving it uncomfortably about the house. “Nothing’s ever where I put it in this house,” they’d say, but complaining.

And even when they weren’t doing all that, they were always talking about nothing. Someone would always be tripping over it, and then would yell that they had tripped on nothing - there was no privacy for nothing around here - or they were saying that nothing was wrong. Even when it was quiet someone would say, “did you hear that?” And, “what was that?” And, “it must’ve been nothing.” They would poke it; and then say out loud that they had poked nothing, but never got into trouble for it!

As a result of this, nothing began to feel cross, and put-upon, and uncomfortable. It was also a bit lonely, and wondered if it wanted to be something. So it thought very hard, and was SOMETHING.

okay maybe but definitely not until mid to late twenties bc when they first get to melbourne they're gonna be broke as fuck and neither of them are going to waste money on something so vain when they're literally struggling to feed themselves. but i can picture ryan getting some stupid fucking stick figure type shit four drinks into a night out with the boys. one of his mates (also drunk) offers to foot the bill if he gets some dumb inside joke tattoo and ryan's like hell yeah why not let's go and his group of blokey mates do a walk in and get the tattoo that night. naim is mortified when they shower together later and he spots it bc what the FUCK IS THAT??

and for naim as much as he's artsy and appreciates the aesthetic value of tattoos i think he'd really struggle with the commitment of having something on his body FOREVER. he's def the type to plan and talk about tattoos he would get (mayhr even have one of those pinterest inspo boards lmfao) but i'm not sure if he'd ever actually follow through. i could see him drawing a nice design of birds for ryan to get inked, maybe as a cover up of the dumb drunk tattoo lol. ryan loves showing it off and waiting for people to compliment the design just so he can say MY BOYFRIEND DREW IT :DD

watching a video on brewing Mesopotamian beer and look at this orange man (his ass cannot guard the barley)

Like, when my agents are pitching me for something, they'll be like, "Look at his facebook! Look at his tiktok!" They're never gonna say, "100,000 people follow him on tumblr. Remember tumblr?"

But the thing is, I don't actually use facebook or tiktok (except for promo). This is the only place I use, the only place where I'm interested in the community and shared creation and all that shit.
