memento mori; memento vivire

One of the things that I love about Project Hail Mary is that Grace's central question is "Who would you die for?" We see with the other two astronauts that they had family. That's who they're willing to die to save.

[ID: Project Hail Mary text post memes focused on Stratt and Grace.

Thinking of Grace and Rocky getting so bored on the way to Erid and also them just being so sad they they can’t speak each others language, no matter how much they understand it’s just not physically possible. But maybe just maybe there’s some word in their respective languages that they can sort of say (not very well) but enough that someone would understand it. And they spend days going through everything thats sort of similar to the vocal range of the other.

I just realized that it's not quite true that Earth doesn't know what happened to Grace after he went back for Rocky.

i love aroace ryland grace. however, i dont think he knows this about himself so for the past decade he's probably been like "yeahhh i'll eventually settle down and find a special someone but i'm just too busy being a teacher to date or anything like that"
