I think this ship (spaceship) is really funny

[part 1] [part 2]

[part 1] [part 2]

i finished the audiobook in 4 days, saw the movie the day after, and have dragged everyone else i know into the Project Hail Mary pit by their ankles. so, y'know, i feel TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THEM!!!!

my drawings are a fusion of the book and movie aesthetically, but I decide to keep Rocky's little shirt + the horrible burn scarring of the "lets shove Rocky in the airlock to save him" scene.

i also designed this sticker, and if anyone wants to buy one, lmk:

the mixing of eridian and human languages (and not just english! even english speakers use phrases from other languages! youre telling me grace isnt c'est la vie-ing this entire goddamn trip?) and idioms and body language and various non-word sounds is going to be a sonic nightmare for humans and eridians alike.

in the short window of the story they've already morphed several, now multiply that across the entire trip!

i keep thinking about rocky picking up gesticulation from grace, but on erid it's the equivalent of a human talking with a hand in front of their mouth.

and i shudder to imagine all the scientific short hands they come up with to speed up research! hey rocky thanks for solving the astrophage problem too bad no one knows what the fuck you're trying to explain to us!

manners! social customs! they're fucked!

field trip cancelled

Based off hit tumblr post:

"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:
