But what would Eridian humansonas look like. I mean the ones they’d make, the way us Earthlings are going ham on like geodes and malachite and etc and making pretty-rock-inspired fan-Eridians. Eridian shitty-humans with, what, twice as many bones? Just Slenderman again? Really wrinkly ones. REALLY smooth ones

Stratt trying to recruit the molecular biologist who cursed out a man at a UNESCO conference and finding mild-mannered Dr. Ryland Grace stumbling all over his words and himself, and there's this split second where she's, like, "yeah, fuck, i don't know about this" and then she realizes. this guy. all fun facts and fiddlesticks, believed in his theory so staunchly that he'd curse out a man at a UNESCO conference. it's not much of a backbone, it's a small but very sturdy backbone, and it's just enough that having him and his politeness around will comfort all the right people and his mild eccentrics will piss off all the ones Stratt doesn't care for. bonus, he's a teacher, so she can delegate the task of keeping everyone around her informed to him--and he'll do it, too, because he's nice like that. he's perfect. there has never been a more perfecter guy to just have around for convenience's sake. get that nerd in the back of a van right this second.
The first draft philosophy that has finally gotten me writing for fun isn't "worst version of story" type framing, it's "tell the story to yourself."
Your story isn't ready for polished prose, you don't know what happens yet. This doesn't make it Bad Writing, it's a different type of writing. And this ties into why I think the plotter vs pantser debate misses the mark - both detailed outlines AND make-it-up-as-you-go first drafts are ways to make up the story. This part is for you, so how you do it should be whatever is the most fun or satisfying way to tell yourself the story.
if I had a nickel for every time a sci-fi movie featured a scientist named Grace who became teacher to a class of alien kids on another planet, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
just a heads-up that any Avatar bashing in the notes will just be blocked/deleted so don't bother 😌
i love naming the elephant in the room (porn) in conversation because you're not supposed to do that and people are shocked but then they always agree with me. "teen boys are a menace these days" -> it's because of porn. "that's not normal behaviour" -> it's porn addiction. "does that imagery make anyone else uncomfortable" -> it's inspired by porn. "the way women are characterized" -> it's porn mythology. like ladies we are allowed to stay this stuff out loud
Also, please remember that the average age for porn exposure is 12 years old, and that 28% have seen porn by the time they were 9. Virtually every man and even 68% of women (depending on the study and definition of porn) use it. 92% of television shows and movies contain pornographic images. This is not men's, or women's, fault. There are no willing 9 year old cocaine addicts. It is okay to be gentle about the topic of pornography because the people involved need love not shame.

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)
Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
Pikat (art advice and critiques)
Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)
Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)
Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)
NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
"also apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, I have Dyslexia and it makes my brain go XP when it comes to speech or writing"
Boosting this in case any of the programs and books suggested are useful.
All the photos on this tumblr ad the animal photo reference site I run is another resource available for artists to use!
As long as you’re not using AI to create your art, you can reference / trace / draw / recombine / make any sort of art you want, with any of the photos, for free.
There's also MORPHO, a really good book series on anatomy by Michel Lauricella, with very clear explanations and sketches!
And for pose references, there's @adorkastock who shares a ton of them for free, with different models and props, and her website is amazing <3 you can also buy pose packs from her.
So imagine you're Rocky. You're the last survivor of your species' first interstellar voyage. You're out in space, desperately alone, trying to fix a problem threatening all life on your planet. You don't know when or if your people will send another crew to whom you can pass the baton. And even if they do come, will they survive?
You push through this anguish as best you can for a sizable minority of your lifespan. The human equivalent is maybe 8 years. Until, finally, someone else comes. But not from your planet.
What if Rocky has some kind of strong accent in Eridian and doesn't bother to adjust it for Grace the way he might for other Eridians so Grace ends up learning regional variants like they're the base language. He gets his piano communicator thing and he's instantly like -
"Howdy y'all, pleased to meetcha!"
Ok so, we know that Stratt pirated a bunch of stuff for the hail mary before it was sent.
But we also know that probably at least half of Earth's population died out during the mission (from the cold, the infighting, the lack of food) it's quite likely a lot of works of culture would be destroyed as well, from important books and movies to games and YouTube videos.
Imagine, that decades if not centuries after the sun was "saved", Humans established a semi regular communication with Erid and find out that they just casually have an enormous amount of what was perceived as lost media.
Also imagine Eridians trying to figure out human culture based of those movies and games. Imagine Eridians scientist creating new, special tools to play Minecraft

I feel like grace was in such a rush to turn that ship around and hightail it back to rocky that he was indiscriminate about what data he sent back. just shoved it all into the beetle probes, just to realize ‘ok so 20% of that data is scientific breakthroughs to save the world……..80% me and rocky’s movie reviews. and I def forgot to delete the fifteen minute long dance off. hm.’
Project Hail Mary is a buddy comedy sci fi adventure but we all need to appreciate the fact that before the book starts, Rocky has been living in a completely different genre. Rocky has been in a fucking Alien style psychological space survival horror for nearly 50 years. Rocky went to space with a huge crew, exploring farther than anyone from his planet ever had, and then all at once every member of his crew *except him* got horrifically sick and died for no apparent reason. And then Rocky sat in this huge spaceship, built for a crew of 23, now empty and eerily silent, for FIFTY YEARS.
Grace had a hard enough time waking up and finding his dead crew mates, and he only had to deal with that for a couple weeks before meeting Rocky. He didn’t remember who they were at first. He didn’t watch them die. Rocky basically survived a horrific space plague, watching helplessly as his crew mates - his FRIENDS - died around him, and then spent 50 years in silence. Rocky was the final girl of the Blip-A except after his horror movie was over he was just stuck there, in this huge ship that had become an empty mausoleum, for decades. With no one to watch him sleep.
Obviously Rocky gets his happy ending after he and his new best friend save the stars and return to Erid, but I can’t help thinking about the absolute genre whiplash Rocky received going from the events before meeting Grace into the events of the book. It’s honestly a miracle that he wasn’t a raving madman (madrock???) by the time Grace showed up at Tau Ceti. It’s easy to imagine another version of the story where Grace meets Rocky and finds a vicious, terrified, angry animal, with no idea that this violent beast used to be a person, that his mind has completely broken after nearly half a century of horror and grief and solitary confinement in space.
Anyway I sure hope they have good therapists on Erid.
help!!! they're reproducing by mitosis!!!
"Grace refuses to add the swears to the vocabulary" WRONG! Rocky refuses to add the swears to the vocabulary. Grace (book!Grace, at least) is in his thirties. It's like a four-year-old baby by the Eridian standards. Rocky is not teaching the baby the swears, it would be so irresponsible!!
Also, it's so funny to think about how this conversation went. I'm not sure what mental image I love more: a) Rocky stopping in the middle of the rant to explain what he is saying so that Grace can add it to the dictionary or b) Rocky interrogating Grace on the Earth insults beforehand so that he can go on his rant uninterrupted. In any case — oh, to be a fly on that wall. I love them.
I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

This is literally just the plot of camp rock.
and out of the darkness - you you you you you
The way Grace's head is pushed down slightly when Rocky ruffles his hair 🥺
