Adrian POV being like. A classic alien horror movie. Your spouse returns home after being left for dead for decades in space. But wait, he's brought back an alien! Alien claims that everyone else on the ship just happened to die from other, unrelated reasons. Slowly it becomes clear that your spouse is, like, unhealthily obsessed with this creature. Maybe psychosexually obsessed. He can't sleep without it. He even — gasp — eats with it. Adrian braces themself because ok, clearly they're dealing with some kind of brain-stealing parasite that's trying to subsume Rocky into its weird hivemind or whatever before consuming him alive. There's no way around it. They're going to have to kill this thing. So they go up to the ship prepared to fight to the death. And then they meet Grace

Two simultaneous realizations: 1) the alien is a normal dude. 2) your spouse is just insane (smash cut to rock divorce court)

‘project hail mary is about the power of friendship’ ‘project hail mary is about hope’ ‘project hail mary is about accidentally becoming too important at work’ wrong wrong wrong you’re all wrong. project hail mary is about what it would take for a single man in his 30s to own a fully paid off beachfront property in today’s economy

a character being a perpetrator does not negate their victimhood and neither does their victimhood negate being a perpetrator. u can accept and reckon w both dimensions in ur analysis

Big fan of aroace Ryland and pervert Rocky
