"They come to my class every day. And they’re all going to end up in a Mad Max nightmare world if we don’t solve this problem. Yeah, I was wrong about the water. I don’t care about that. I care about those kids. So give me some gosh-darned Astrophage!"

project hail mary + book quotes 2/?

me: wow grace looks so much like colt/court in this scene it's insane

me:

Finally, to culminate this passage, in big swaths of color and against a backdrop of the nighttime Parisian skyline, Mia and Sebastian DANCE... This is the last time we’ll ever see them dance, and they seem to recognize that, so graceful and poised are their movements... Remember -- this is a romance more perfect than a real romance could ever be...

Coltland twins as texts part 2!! So happy part 1 did well on here :D

I think about this AU all the time I’m so serious, they’re real to me idc

Coltland twins as texts!! this did numbers on my Tik Tok so I figured Tumblr would like it too 😂 the Coltland twins genuinely consume most of my thoughts

Colt and Grace similarities:

thumbs up

beaches

the movie Rocky

yellow jacket

drugged at some point against their will

screwed over by a boss lady

excited arm pumping/air guitar

karaoke scene

upon being told they should leave:

"but i just got here :(" - Grace

"but im supposed to meet Jody for karaoke :(" - Colt

doing batshit insane things for the people they love

filling in for a dead guy (unwillingly/unknowingly)

signature jackets (Miami Vice stunt jacket and the fox cardigan)

almost fucking dying and refusing to die

about to take a leap -> "no" -> forced to do it anyway

"some people are failures" -Grace and "I thought I was a huge failure" -Colt

ending happily on a beach

extra stuff i thought was fun:

Colt: "you NEED carbs! your body runs on glucose!!!" Science fact!! wonder who he got that from in this au, hm?

Colt "lets just kiss" Seavers and his brother, Dr Ryland "aroace in space" Grace

do you think that extended to sleeping in the same room and ensuring that nothing happened to the other while one of them was asleep?

do you think then that when rocky later down the line told grace that eridians watch eachother sleep to ensure eachothers safety, that grace felt aching familiarity with the concept? but he didn't know why? because he hadn't fully remembered his brothers? do you think he ever fully remembers growing up with court and colt? do you think he lives the rest of his life without an answer to that emptiness that refuses to go away?

And Carl's jaw just drops and is suddenly very aware of the gun in his own pocket and starts glancing around like a nervous jumpy cat like Six is gonna jump out of the walls at him at any moment because if Six finds out what his brother is involved with and...what that might mean if things go wrong...holy shit!

And that's exactly what happens, Grace gets sent to space against his will and there's a damn firing match through the halls Carl trying to protect Stratt and get her to safety as Grace's big brother comes charging through the complex and bursts into Stratts office, and Carl is in front of her pointing his gun at a bloody and very pissed off Courtland who is pointing his own gun right back at him and breathing heavily,

"Where the fuck is Ryland??!!"

It became less comical for Colt the one time the stunt crew were rushing and grabbed (a very flustered) Ryland and tried to hook him onto a rig, thinking it was Colt.

The way he ran up screaming, "DAN THAT'S NOT ME, THAT’S RYLAND! DO NOT DROP MY BROTHER OFF A 40-FOOT BUILDING PLEASE!"

Jody and Ryland still laugh about it. Colt still gets anxiety thinking about it
