To the person who pointed out the different lighting throughout Grace explaining the taumoeba to Rocky’s comatose body implying he’d done it over and over and over count your fucking days because that shit HAUNTED me during this rewatch

Lately I’ve been really into being honest to people about my positive feelings towards them. I told my classmate that I’ve admired her creativity from the start and named a project of hers that I loved, and her face lit up! I took the train with a project partner the other day and told her that I always have so much fun with her, and it prompted an entire conversation about the difficulties of graduating from ‘classmates’ to ‘friends’ and both of our insecurities in this regard (and how we’re definitely getting coffee later). I express my gratitude honestly. I say what I feel if I’d be happy hearing it, myself. I remember details so that I can refer to them later. Once you realize how great you can make someone feel, all of those mundane moments become so special. It will maybe even create some lasting connections, something I think we could all use more of.

This is a great idea. Not just for building friends but for lifting up the people around you! What a wonderful way to interact with the world.

jazz is awesome bc it’s like. what if classical music fucked

basically the best thing a story can have is a woman who is doomed. massive points if she destroys the people around her in response.

stop tagging men on this post i'm going to kill us both

My body is but a #give grace a disorder party temple.

as someone who's asexual, aegosexual if you're fancy, headcanoning ryland grace as aro ace is 1. very important to me and 2. should NOT prevent people from letting him be a freaky monster fucker. yeah.

The "we're on our way home" playing as the beetles are otw back to earth but more importantly as Grace is on his way to Rocky is so important to me

One detail from the book that didn't make it into the movie that I think is neat is that Eva Stratt did not just stumble across Ryland Grace. He was not the 'potentially disposable' option. She went to the top microbiologists in some of the best research labs in the world and was told multiple times "you know what? I think Dr. Grace might be your guy." When discussing the Petrova Problem. And this several years after his ejection from academia.
