sit down and we do it differently

I've decided to start developing concepts of a fic that gives heavy focus to all of the Vat side characters from the book which means I have to take a lot of creative liberties given that a lot of them are in like. One scene. Which means I have to defend headcanons like "Leclerc has lesbian parents" with Man All I Have Is The Vibes

All these cowards on ao3 writing Grace returns to Earth fics and changing the way time dilation works just so they don't have to make Stratt old... why are we all so terrified of women aging??? Of living a full life and still remaining 3 dimensional human beings?? Idk about you guys but in my fic it has been twenty eight entire years and Stratt gets to be 74 like she deserves to be

There's a point where you get involved enough in feminism that you start to feel like you're becoming a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist about everything you love. I remember Project Hail Mary was written by a man and then against my will I start thinking about the Vat side characters and how Dimitri, Hatch, Leclerc, Redell, Lamai, and Lokken are all at relatively similar levels of important/unimportant and yet Dimitri, Hatch, Leclerc, and Redell get first and last names and Lamai and Lokken don't

Every time I say "this a fitting song, I'm going to make a Stratt and Grace edit" and then I get halfway through and I realize I'm making a Stratt edit with special guest Grace
