When Grace is on Rocky’s ship, we see Rocky showing Grace designs on the ship wall, which I think are insignias that represent the original crew of 23 Eridians.

hmmmmm finished the book and I'm chewing on Stratt characterization choices . . . already reblogged a post about how in the movie her sending Grace on the mission even though he begs her not to feels more like a betrayal and in the book it feels more like an inevitability, and this feels indicative of how in general the two versions take somewhat inverse approaches to her arc.
Which is to say, the movie tries to play a bait-and-switch, acting as if it's going to take the "stern, non-nonsense woman learns to open up" route: the slow build towards the vulnerability of the karaoke scene, shots of her and Grace looking at each other that seem like they might be headed for a romance plot—and then it plays her ruthlessness as a reveal. No, you were wrong about where this is going. They aren't going to kiss. She's going to drug him and send him on a suicide mission against his will for the good of the planet. And this is really effective!
But in the book we've known how ruthless she is for a long time. We see her taking drastic actions on-page and we know she'll do anything for the mission (and Grace knows it too). What we haven't seen is any hint of vulnerability . . . until their very last conversation. That's the first and only time we see the cracks in her facade, as she wraps her arms around herself and talks about how she studied history, how she knows that death and war and famine are coming and that the Hail Mary is their only hope for survival. She never explains herself, but she tries here, finally, desperate to make Grace understand what's at stake. She's frightened. She's spent years in control of everything and the only thing more terrifying than that is that as soon as the Hail Mary launches she'll have no control anymore. It will be out of her hands and in his and he doesn't even want to do it. She's been the picture of iron self-control for the whole book and it's only at the very end that we get a glimpse of all those messy human emotions that she keeps tamped down. For the most part I think the book struggles to evoke the same intensity of emotion as the movie does, but this scene hits.
I don't have a snappy conclusion I am mostly just rotating her in my mind but I think it's really neat how despite having some similar elements the two versions take such opposite approaches to them and that they both work as well as they do!

been seeing a lot of human rocky designs around so i thought i'd try making one myself :]
design thoughts under cut:
took some inspo from this and that post
tried my hardest to make him just a weird little dude. like you would take a look at him and go yeah if there was ever a guy you'd need to stick in the very back of the ship it would be him
do not get me wrong! i think the designs based off james ortiz are great! however i really wanted his human form to have this little guy energy that mr ortiz's visage doesn't really quite capture
that being said the hair + glasses is definitely based off of him
rocky doesn't really have a face as a rock so i decided to stick big ol goggles on his head to emulate that. (upon further thought maybe i could've also given him a mask... oh well. you'd miss out on his freckles in that case anyway) the green + grey in his hair and the freckles all over him are other bits based off his eridian form
on a similar note, the knee brace is kind of a nod to his weird split leg
his tattoos are most of the marks carved into him condensed onto his arms. i thought about giving him the measurement-based marks on his legs so there'd be something there too but figured that wouldn't really make sense to have there so not pictured they're on the flip side of his arms. this also includes the goodbye lines
his family crest is flipped from the orientation on his eridian arms bc it'd be awkward to put them together like that with human joints
his clothing's pretty practical for a guy who's job it is to run around and fix things; lots of pockets, sturdy boots, etc etc. the green sweater is based off what he wears in the books with some squiggles thrown in for flavour (and also bc he has a couple on his arms in rock form). the toolbelt and armband in the second one are things he has in the movie
the contrast between his usual clothing and his celebration clothing amuses me. three outfits of plain, practical clothing and then holy shit he's dressed to the nines!!
somehow in all of these the right side of him is obstructed in some way so i didn't get to draw it but i was thinking he'd have those teal marriage circles as either an earring or a ring in addition to having it tattooed on him
talking about film stuff alone to the exclusion of book elements for a minute: it really reads to me that the thing actually getting to stratt in her last scene with grace isn't that she has to ask him to die for the cause, we've already established that it's not difficult for her to do that under these circumstances, it's that she has to do it against his will. her voice doesn't start going thin like she's holding back tears until she starts to explain that that they're going to force him despite his refusal, and three times over she asks him to stop fighting back, escalating to violence against him is the specific part she doesn't like. if he stays then he dies in thirty years with everyone else, if he goes then he dies in thirteen years as part of saving everyone else and also probably goes out less painfully, the death is broadly the same either way so it's not part of her arithmetic, but she didn't want to have to make his last memories on earth so distressing.
I saw a post around somewhere that I wish I'd saved about how it might have been less painful for grace if stratt had just told him from the get-go that he didn't have a choice about getting on the ship, and I think I agree; subjectively I feel like having a "no" ignored rather just being ordered into something in the first place is a worse experience. stratt not being upfront about it contradicts her usual "you now live on a boat" modus operandi, it prolongs the process and adds extra steps when they're already running on so little time, and I think it might be the one genuinely selfish decision she makes, letting grace believe he has a say in the matter for those three hours gives him time to agonize about it in his Dish Antenna Array Of Despair and opens him up to really feel that betrayal and removal of autonomy as hard as possible. and, let's be real, she goes into that meeting 99% sure he's not going to agree, that's why she has a doctor on standby and guards ready to give chase, but up until his last "you just can’t talk me into it" she's hoping that maybe he'll just say yes and she won't have to do something awful to someone she likes. keeping the opportunity open for the easy way instead of immediately taking the hard way also leaves the door open for the significantly more likely hardest way.
#i know this is about the film but i think it's also relevant to the way stratt projects her responsibility on grace in the book #yao's refusal to force anyone on the mission against their will gives her a practical reason to proceed the way she did #but that final scene in the prison? that's all her. see it. please see what the world is about to face. please see why i had to do this #this isn't about your ego this isn't about your life this isn't about me you said it once a long time ago this is about those children. #in the same way movie stratt didn't need to prolong the experience like this book stratt did not need to yknow #force her presence in the prison room of the man she was sending to his death to make him understand why she did it #it's simultaneously an attempt at kindness/resect and the most selfish thing we see her do in the book #(guy who has been thinking about the prison scene for a week straight) i have only normal opinions about this
