I like to think that the ghosts of Yáo Li Jie and Olesya Ilyukhina stayed with Grace through his time in the Hail Mary.
They were invested in the mision and dying even before they could fulfill their roles for the Project Hail Mary must be reason enough for them to have uncomplete things to do.
I like to think that they were accompaning Grace through his mission, giving him strenght to not lose his mind. That those moments in which he learned something about himself out of nowhere, or those sparks that lead them to solutions related to how to navigate Hail Mary were motivated by the efforts of Yáo and Ilyukhina to guide and help him.
Imagine with me:
Yáo and Ilyukhina not understanding they are dead at the start and thinking that they just wake up earlier (Yáo die first so he realize first in thinking this, when Ilyukhina dies Yáo explains to her that she did not survive the induced coma).
Yáo and Ilyukhina knowing that is cruel to wish for Grace to wake up sound and safe, just for him to be complete alone, but he is the only hope they have left.
Yáo and Ilyukhina feeling more at ease after Grace gives their corpses to the stars.
Ilyukhina been the most excited one about Rocky apparition, because she was an engineer and is just fascinated by what Rocky can do.
Yáo and Ilyukhina been indignated to have lost their chance to be part of the first contact in life.
Yáo trying to pass his knowledge as a captain to Grace, to ease his way with the controls.
Ilyukina been that little voice in Grace head of giving a chance to the Blip- A, that maybe they are friendly.
Yáo been a quiet force that supports Grace. There is point, at least in the book in which Grace seems to think that maybe he was brave, but he doesn't remember it, maybe that thought came from Yáo who believed that anyone could be brave.
All those little moments of luck been Ilyukhina and Yáo trying to influence so Rocky and Grace can have a successful mission.
Both ghosts, but specially Yáo bringing bad energies the moment they realize that Grace was sent against his will.
Ilyukhina crossing to the other side in peace the moment that realize that Rocky is the new engineer and that Grace has made the taumeba been able to survive Venus and the eridiani-2 planet.
Yáo crossing to the other side in peace when Grace decides to go rescue Rocky, because he can finally see Grace been truly brave for someone he cares.
Extra + Rocky
If Grace has 2 ghosts taking care of him, Rocky has 22.
22 eridian ghosts noticing the Hail Mary first and making it more noticiable for Rocky (maybe they made subtle sounds or vibrations so Rocky would have a better picture of it).
The Blip-B and Blip-C having a perfect trajectory to the Hail Mary thanks to the 22 eridian ghosts.
22 eridian ghosts celebrating that their single survivor has been able to be part of the first contact.
The Hail Mary been the home of 22 eridian ghosts who come in all the sizes and shapes.
22 eridian ghosts been fascinated with the alien that Grace is and how leaky he is.
22 eridian ghosts concentrating their efforts so Rocky is able to recover after been burn by the oxygen.
22 eridian ghosts using their best clothes (they are ghosts they can wear whatever they want) as a celebration for having succed in doing the taumeba.
22 eridian ghosts not knowing what to do once Blip-A starts failing and Rocky is left without astrophage.
22 eridian ghosts crossing to the other side in peace once they hear the knock outside the Blip-A, because Grace is here.
Extra Extra:
Both ghosts, human and eridian, been able to "see", understand and "touch" each other and doing and alliance for sake of their two single survivors, who needed a team and a miracle, and all they got are ghosts and each other.
masterlist
well, more like a guide for finding posts on my blog for people who want to find something specific but can't, lol. i hope this is helpful!
also, for every post, it comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (and i dare say, even REQUIRED) to read the reblogs and comments, too. lots of big-brained people with strong, healthy brainwormies who like to till my soil out there <3
(these are in the order i posted them in from the top-down btw)

(this was actually prompted by an ask, so: thnx!)
a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?
missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉
… the colours are so beautiful
I think I might cry if I hit left and right enough times

BACK OFF! I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!
By an unfortunate twist of fate—and your boyfriend’s carelessness—he ended up mixing ingredients that definitely shouldn’t have been used together. The result? A slightly over-the-top explosion, a very angry Professor Crewel, and of course, your boyfriend affected by the smoke, which, to add to his suffering, didn’t leave him in a very… sober state.
# CHARACTERS: Ace Trappola, Leona Kingscholar, Azul Ashengrotto.
# A/N: okay, Azul’s part got longer than I wanted, but ughhh I just love writing abt him 😞
ACE TRAPPOLA
Even though it hadn’t been anything too serious, you went to his side as soon as he decided he could get down onto the bed by himself, even though he was visibly dizzy.
“It’s all your fault, Deuce—if you had just listened to me—” Ace froze the moment his vision became a little less blurry, his eye twitching when his brain finally processed the image.
Not Deuce. A girl. A girl.
You startled at how harshly he yanked his arm away, shrinking back on the bed as if you had burned him with hot coals. “Ace, what the—”
“I’m taken! Who do you think you are, touching me like this, huh!?” He had never wished so badly for Deuce to be nearby to save him from that possible misunderstanding. What would you think of him if you saw him with a girl touching him so casually!?
You tilted your head to the side, confused by his behavior for a few seconds, until you remembered it could be the smoke’s effect, since his face was still flushed.
“Look, I’m warning you, my girlfriend is going to kill you—and then kill me too, but that doesn’t matter! She’s going to kill you if you keep leaning all over me like that!”
You sighed. It was going to be a long afternoon.
TWST peeps, hear me out… The original Grumpy x Sunshine
This dynamic but its Rook x Yuu/Reader or RookVil
I NEED THAT TIGGER POUNCE AS ROOK
It’s basically canon already, more so if it’s savanaclaw!rook. He must’ve done this AT SOME POINT.
Omg this is totally FloRid, too
FLOYD IS A POUNCER, TOO
Artists, you know what to do. At least until I have time (I don’t) to tackle this vision myself LOL
Side note: this is how rook/reader met in my series, Twisted Diaries (Rook x Reader x Floyd) teehee
woo i am such a fan of dramatic plants. just prissy fucking plantlife, be it unreasonable or implacable or ostentatious. plants, man
u know what yeah, let’s talk about weird nonsense plants
1. Living Stones
these plants imitate rocks. who does that?
imagine deciding to straight up evolve into rocks as a defense mechanism. i had a whole rant planned but now i’m remembering that i have, in the past, on multiple occasions, daydreamed about being a rock. like that has been a recurring theme in my rich inner fantasy life. i would not forsake the opportunity to evolve into a stone.
2. Hooker’s Lips
ostentatious. flamboyant. vulgar. garish. randy. dare i say whorish? yes. this plant is whorish.
pucker up you hussy
3. Hoya Hearts
overused trope. lacks subtlety and creativity. truly, they just went with the first thought to pop in their head, no brainstorming involved. “ho ho ho i’m just gonna grow into a fucking HEART, that’ll show em!” Needy & basic bitch. looks cute on a desk
4. Lifesaver Plants
manages to be both psychedelic and disapproving. reminiscent of a prudish great aunt–but like, one who did a lot of LSD in the 70s. evidence of an alien lifeform who crash landed and then decided, fuck it, i’m gonna rent a one-story in the midwest and decorate it with vintage wood paneling & floral upholstery. probably smells like stale weed and glass ashtrays
5. Happy Alien Flowers
yes that is their NAME. sort of anticlimactic, but take a gander:
they are absolute sluts for drama, as demonstrated by the little hussies pictured above are YELLING AT ME. they bring to mind seagulls engaged in a Shakespearean blood feud. this flowers have committed aggravated manslaughter and probably got away with it too.
6. Bat Plant
aka Cat’s Whiskers aka Devil Flower. how fucking emo is that??? this plant listens to mcr and is probably the gay cousin. they never got the hang of eyeliner but that doesn’t stop them from trying, bless em. their impetuous devil-may-care persona is hindered by their crippling social anxiety. i’m immensely fond of this plant. they’ll come into their own once they graduate and move away from college, but in the mean time they sit with the tech crew at lunch. you go little Bat Plant!
7. Dancing Plants
total band kids. also called Semaphore Plants, bc they look like they’re trying to flag down a plane. nifty fuckers
in conclusion, three cheers for whiny, namby-pamby, scatterbrained plantlife
so you’ll reblog THIS and my Non-Comprehensive List of Cursed Bird That Piss Me Off, but Whimsical Creatures Failing To Tempt Me Into The Ocean is where tumblr draws the line huh
I am absolutely delighted to show you this orchid the ‘Naked Man’. It’s an orchid native to the Mediterranean and it looks like a lil dude with a tiny penis
PROPORTIONALLY SPEAKING
Guys I want to get into Batman and Batfamily because it looks fun as hell where on EARTH do I even start

i can't stop thinking about that scene in the beginning where simon is at the control panel and that shadowy figure darts off to the side where the computer is. and then parallel to that scene towards the end where simon is at the back of the sub and looks over to the control panel and sees that horrific (almost humanoid?) creature with too many teeth sitting in the chair and simon quickly darts over to hide by the computer almost like what that shadowy figure did in that earlier scene
idk maybe i'm still iswm pilled but that felt like some eldritch time loop shit. or simon literally seeing himself for the monster he is (or thinks himself to be)? or both???
‘Wrong Century’ by Czech comic Tomáš Kučerovský … I love this one and please read the great article, Abducted by Art, from National Catholic Register explaining the “real” history and meaning behind the Rubens’ original depicted in this great piece. The article starts:
Me gusta! Simple, elegant, eloquent, and finely balanced with a little unexpected punch, just like an (admittedly minor) work of art should be.
Abducted by Art
1st anniversary fan favorite
GUYS DOES ANYONE HAVE THE PICTURE OF THE SOCCER CELEBRATION WHERE ONE TEAM IS LIKE LAYING ON EACH OTHER LOOKING LIKE HOMOSEXUALITY INCARNATE AND THE OTHER TEAM IS GOING THROUGH THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF

Heard a car horn today that was tuned to a fifth. Fucked up, kinda delightful
I want people to understand how jarring this was. Most car horns are either a single tone or two tones somewhere in the neighborhood of a minor third apart:
Pretty normal rush hour sounds, yeah? But this thing sounded something like this:
Fucked up! Didn't even realize it was a car horn at first, I didn't know what the fuck it was! It was weird as hell!
How to Keep My Children Alive in My Absence: a guide by Bruce Wayne
Keep Tim well fed and Stephanie hydrated.
Don't let Dick slide down the banister. He is a danger to everyone else in the house.
Damian needs his time alone, but not too much of it. Just because he likes it doesn't mean it's healthy. Just don't force it.
Tim is allergic to walnuts, so make sure he doesn't accidentally eat any. I'm worried about him.
Stephanie needs to be reminded that she has a room in the manor, or she'll try and go home on nights she shouldn't.
Jason steals things he really doesn't need to. Just humor him.
Duke needs to be checked on every once in a while. He spaces out for hours and hours. That happens when you can spend those hours watching the past of alternate universes.
Damian is vegetarian.
Stephanie is the opposite of vegetarian.
Tim doesn't have a spleen! Please don't sneeze on him, or let him walk around in wet clothes, or lay face-down on questionable surfaces!
Make sure Alfred goes to sleep on patrol nights. He won't unless asked to. He worries.
Conner isn't allowed in Gotham. Keep him away.
Jon is absolutely allowed in Gotham. Mostly for my own sanity.
Cass forgets that normal humans can't survive 30 foot drops. The second balcony above the great hall is 36 feet high.
If you ask Jason to stay for dinner, he will say no. If Alfred asks him, he will stay.
Damian isn't allowed to watch Bambi. He doesn't know it exists yet. If you are the one who tells him, even Barbara won't be able to protect you.
Ace has to take his meds daily.
Duke forgets that normal people can't see in the dark. Gently remind him, but don't embarrass him.
We have a "no killing" rule. Alfred doesn't. That is a threat.
Never leave Tim and Damian alone together. You won't survive the night.
The rest of the family:
Jason | Damian | Tim | Babs | Cass | Steph | Duke | Dick
