ClaraInTardis

Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.

"What if Stratt didn't force Grace to go?" Then the Earth dies.

"What if Yao and Ilyukhina had survived?" Then they all would have died in space, not enough food to get to Earth or Erid

If the Taomoeba hadn't escaped then Grace would have never seen his best friend again. Returning to a world he loves but no longer recognizes.

If the stars weren't dying then Grace never would have met his best friend at all. Living content but alone.

Project Hail Mary is a hopeful story. It is a story of friendship and what it means to be brave. It's a story about saving the world.

Just a few important and gentle reminders:

🫶🏻 DO NOT WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW 🫶🏻

If you claim you support human rights - not just trans rights but human rights in general - yet still plan to watch this show, unfollow me. You’re a fucking hypocrite and I don’t want you following me.

Do not watch it even if you’re hate watching it, it still contributes to streaming revenue and views!

The adults in this reboot of the franchise are FULLY accountable for choosing to do this show and accepting a pay cheque over supporting a minority group. Even if they claim they support trans rights, they’re cowards and don’t actually support them at all.

The kids do NOT deserve abuse or hate, whether it’s because you’re comparing them to Dan/Rupert/Emma or because you’re boycotting due to the author’s views. They are literal CHILDREN.

what shane means: i can never love a woman in any way resembling the way i love you and when i tried she called my shit IMMEDIATELY so what im trying to say is i can't sidestep whatever we are the way you can, i will never ever love anyone but u

what ilya hears: somewhere along the line of our multi-year situationship that began with me immediately sucking ur dick, i have determined that i like men.

i like one shots, filth, established relationship, angst/comfort, introspective character study-esque stuff and fics that lean into the Hockey of it all so this is a lot of that

also i tend to read by author i dont look at tags so one fic here usually means i also love whatever else the author has posted and u should check it out

#goalbody by toomuchplor raaaaahhh i fucking love this one, just like a gritty little treat slice of life kind of fic very much focused on the fact that they are in fact hockey players

too nice by toomuchplor so fucking good perfect balance and tension between character interiority and smut for me

rook by catalpawaltz shane/scott yes you best believe it, changed my fucking brain chemistry feels so fucking real and heavy and now is basically just part of my canon for the show

the awful english language by nomadsland i love you immigrant ilya i love you second language english speaker ilya this explores it so beautifully and perfectly

til they retire your number by technicallyverycowboy PERFECT established relationship angst. just like so perfectly stretched between what they have and what they yet don’t, so sad and visceral and again leans into the hockey of it all

the whole perfect from now on series by anonymous is my fucking bible but especially;

careful all the time holy shit so perfect my god perfect svetlana render for me, perfect svetlana and ilya relationship render, explores jealousy and the ways their relationship can bend and snap so well, so real but still so sweet

for a split sec, i was a train wreck, ilya character study, dives into the time before tuna melt when he realises he is in love with shane, truly transcendent, the kind of fic that makes you happy you watched the show just so the circumstances fell into place for you to read it, the final line still rings through my mind

wait by waxing___crescent great angst painful painful painful in the best way

how do you feel? by exogenesissnymph no words, i read this half squinting because it was so good it genuinely overwhelmed me, amazing exploration of shane’s character specifically as a public figure

berlin pond by toyourdetriment, unbelievable, stunning, beyond, like once again the kind of thing that makes you thank the heavens you just happened to watch the show, like this is beyond fanfic for me, truly foundational

the performer by toxotes brilliant exploration of shane and specifically his desire/arousal, which is so so special for me
