Invisible Pretty Birdies Singing in the Dark

it’s so fucking funny that the beginning portion of the phm movie pretty clearly shows that grace has always been interested in and is also Not Normal about aliens (see: dissertation, classroom absolutely decked out with space stuff, very sweetly saying “welcome to earth” to the petrova line sample + how hyped up he gets when he realizes they’re cells) and then as soon as he gets the opportunity to meet an intelligent extraterrestrial life form he goes no thank you and hits da bricks

#I like the book version of first contact more but the way they did it in the movie IS an interesting character choice#it positions his fear as the most powerful emotion he experiences#since it superseded his curiosity/interest/awe/anything else he might’ve felt looking at the blip a for the first time#my favorite prey animal dr ryland grace <3 (op's tags)

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

the project hail mary universe is one of the only ones out there where orpheus turning around actually saved eurydice btw

its because he didn't just turn around, he went all the way back and left the life he was supposed to be going back to behind for it.
