Aspiring Bisexual Menace

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.

• They memorize where every exit is in a room

• They check their phone repeatedly after sending a message, worried they said the wrong thing

• They freeze when asked a simple question, like they’re calculating the safest answer • They over-explain tiny mistakes before anyone reacts • They clean up messes that aren’t theirs without being asked • They listen for footsteps in hallways before relaxing • They downplay their own pain with humor or sarcasm

• They check locks more than once before bed • They leave shoes near the door, ready to leave quickly

• They wake up instantly at small sounds while others sleep through them

• They carry painkillers, snacks, or water everywhere “just in case.”

• They don’t like closed doors.

• They test people subtly to see if they'll leave

• They sit near walls or corners, rarely the center of a room.

• Loud noises don’t scare them anymore, they just go very still

• They apologize automatically, even when nothing went wrong

• Compliments make them visibly uncomfortable.

• They keep important things within arm’s reach at all times

• They watch people’s hands more than their faces

• They flinch at movements that aren’t threatening

• When someone raises their voice, they go quiet instead of arguing back • They assume blame first, even when it makes no sense • They’re surprised when someone keeps their promise • They brace themselves before asking a favor

I've seen this topic circulated around for a while now. And it's time to do my own version. What if my Tav met Gale before? What will that be like?

Here's my take on it...

Perhaps this is why we're so connected during the weave lesson🥺

Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is aromantic + asexual!

I LIKE it

someone else might LIKE it

it is FUN to do

I get those THOUGHTS out of my head

it's fun to look BACK on

have I mentioned it's FUN?

it's CATHARTIC

it's nice to see what I CAN DO

“Oh but voting for ryland grace isn’t fun, cause ryland gosling-“

WRONG.

get that idea OUT. Ryan Gosling is a conventionally attractive actor. Ryland Grace is a nerdy stubborn fuckin little guy who formed a codependent relationship with a rock spider and is so dumb when it comes to relationships he went out for platonic dinner with his ex’s friend every weekend for years.

this man is not some blonde hunk from the front of a Calvin Klein advert. This is an awkward middle school teacher. He is a loser and i have a list on why.

Unironically said “whomp, there it is” while giving an impromptu lecture to the entire world’s leading scientists

his immediate reaction to seeing an alien was to dance horribly and see if it mimicked him

is aroace

if you don’t want him to be aroace there’s also markiplier

Or Stratt or carl or rocky or rocky and Adrian or mark fucking watney (it’s everybody)

There are currently 455 fics under the tag “ryland grace is a wet cat”

called a tube of gravy “better than sex”

named the medical robot Armando and thanks it

made rocky a paper hat for the top of his xenonite ball that said “savior of the world” and drew rocky lab goggles on his tunnel

wears shitty science pun shirts

wears his glasses so wrong it’s hard to believe they’re intact

Brought back hopecore and space and good movies all in one character

he is a loveable loser and deserves to win this.

Make the right choice!
