Im rewatching project hail mary bc i just finished the book and i noticed smth kinda cool
This is fromthe beginning of the movie, where Grace is going through the crews belonging. While looking through Yao's pictures we get this short clip with Yao front and center, joking with both Ilyukhina and Dubois with Grace and Stratt among the crowd behind them.
This is cool just because its the Very First Time we see Stratt in the entire movie (which is why it caught my attention in the first place!) but whats even COOLER is...
THIS!!! With all the same people, and a very similar shot but this time with Grace as central focus and Yao as the sightline, we get to see (what i believe is) the momem Just Before Grace's original memory of Yao.
At almost halfway through the movie, approximately an HOUR AFTER we get the first scene, but this time we get to see Why it was the moment Grace remembered.
In this scene, we learn about spindrives and how powerful they are which is then followed by the entire crowd making their way elsewhere and Grace starting a conversation with Yao... can you guess which one??
YAO'S BRAVERY QUOTE!!!
YEAH, THATS RIGHT, GRACES FIRST MEMORY OF YAO WAS OF WHAT BRAVERY IS!!! WHICH IS PART OF WHY GRACE CALLED HIM BRAVE DURING THE SEND OFF!!1 BC HE REMEMBERED THE EMOTIONS OF THIS MOMENT BUT COULDNT FULLY UNDERSTAND THEM AT THE TIME!!!!!!!! AMAZEAMAZE AMAZE!!!!!!!!!!!
Logistics of a snake having a three forked tongue...
So a snakes tongue is interesting in that it is a natural formation of biangulation(1). Each side of the tongue gathers odor molecules and if one side catches chemical signals like pheromones, the snake can determine the location of prey or predators. To do this, they have an organ on the roof of their mouth called a Jacobson's Organ(2) that is specially designed to detect and analyze chemical signals.
Now, imagine with me a snake-like alien. Long tail, reptilian face, scales; basically a humanoid snake with arms (for the sake of simplicity). Of course, there would be differences--et tu a three way split tongue.
Maybe it helps detect different directions for triangulation, since these aliens are capable of better reach than snakes. Or, maybe, they can sense specific chemicals that the other two can't?? It could be this alien's version of the Jacobson's Organ, replacing the stationary one of snakes for the benefit of having a flexible sensor.
Also, it could have nothing to do with the VNO. Maybe, it has a paralytic property for the more difficult prey. Maybe it has some special function that allows the aliens to process/taste other things like herbs, allowing the alien to be omnivorous or even entirely herbivorous. There are so many things it could be used for.. it's hard to decide which one I like most.
1.) using 2 Absolute points to determine the position of 1 Variable point on a 2D plane
2.) the common name for the Vomeronasal Organ/System (VNO)
Not in a military way, but in the way you get when someone insults your best friend or sibling.
Sure, Earth is a bit of a shitpit and tries to kill everything on its surface all the time and is slap bang in the middle of the Space Boonies with fuck all else around except MORE deadly stuff, BUT THAT’S OUR HOME. YOU KEEP HER NAME OUTTA YOUR FUCKIN’ MOUTH.
Human: Yeah, Earth’s just a massive dumpster fire, but once you look past the wonky axis and viruses and terrible people and numerous crises going on all at once, it’s a pretty decent place to set up shop.
Alien: Yeah, like I’d ever want to visit your shithole of a planet.
Human: *deathly serious* Call my home a shithole again and I will cook and eat your organs...

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.
I’ve seen the Jabber gives Zanka a piece of Mankira as like a sign of commitment thing a few times but like there’s not much that can be done for him getting a piece of Assistaff in return and then it hit me — What if they do engravings? Zanka’s name carved on Mankira insides and Jabbers on Lovely Assistaff’s wood, they would be making scars onto each other’s souls.
what if on the ground putting your signifigant others name on your instrument is a cultural tradition for announcing your relationship and/or proposing?? like a promise/wedding ring or smth?
might be a culture difference between the ground and the sphere.... maybe Rudo was raised on the idea of proposing with a ring and so when he sees Jabbers name carved into Zanka's staff from a distance, they get into a fight abt it and then he asks Enjin who bursts out laughing...
excuse my rant i may have gotten a lil carried away ahah
TLDR; the early relationship bt Sanji + Zeff has a lot more importance than you'd think, especially in that the Baratie is our first exposure to what Family looks like in the world of One Piece. This inspires a certain subconscious understanding that gets built on as we advanced further into the story.
The Baratie is where I first found myself falling in love with One Piece.
It's where we truly begin to see what is to come, where Oda begins the real groundwork of what One Piece will (and has) become.
From the first on-sea battles and a brief glance at the power scaling, to the near future of the Grandline and the far future of Zoro's ambitions, to the emotional depth of the main AND side characters, to the ideals of the world vs the ideals of our protagonist(s), and so much more.
To this day, maybe 10 years after I first saw the Baratie for the first time, it has remained one of the most substantial and meaningful arcs to me. I still get teary eyed when I see Gin or the scene of them lying to Sanji about his food...
It took a few years for me to start watching One Piece, due in part to my ADHD and the fact that I had only ever seen pictures and thought the art style was strange. Back then I would turn it on and lose interest in the first episode or I'd get distracted by something else. And even when I actually sat down and committed to watching one piece, I didn't find myself hooked for a while.
I was interested of course, just enough to get to the next episode, but it was a mild entertainment. A distraction. Luffy's chaos was funny and Koby's steadfastness was curious. Zoro's ambition was admirable, Nami's distance was intriguing, and Usopp's determination was exciting. But none of it pulled me in like Sanji and Zeff.
Sanji and Zeff have a bond we don't see in anyone else until now (outside of the brief flashback of Luffy and Shanks, and Usopp's memory of his mother, but those arent as upfront/in your face), which means our first introduction to a family is Them. These two who found each other, saved each other, and then found a reason to stay. Who showed up again and again, and who don't know (or refuse to see) how much the other cherishes them.
In all fairness, the entire Baratie gives us the idea of what a family in One Piece is usually like. And it isn't Perfect. It isn't Pretty or Kind or Soft, it isn't Rich or Proud or Flashy. Instead, One Piece gives us a family that places importance on Bonds, on Want and Care and Choice and above all else on being Nonapologeticly just the way it is.
And then we move on. The show gives us the best example of who people, the normal everyday people, are and then tells us that the only restrictions people have are the ones they place on themselves. That family ties will carry no weight to hold you back from yourself, no matter the lengths they must stretch.
With just this, One Piece has established, silently and from the very beginning, that freedom carries a much larger importance than we yet know. It establishes that to the average person, the ideal that is carried in every action, is that Freedom will always come before debt, before truth, and even before death.
And we, the viewers, don't see why this is until Sabaody which is so incredibly impressive to me.

If you come across anyone who starts off with "Scientists don't want you to know..." you need to understand that they're lying. They're completely full of shit and working a grift.
Because they've never met or spoke with a scientist.
Scientists WANT YOU TO KNOW. Scientists want you to know SO MUCH. Scientists would be THRILLED to teach you EVERYTHING they know in EXPLICIT DETAIL. Scientists LOVE to share information and their findings and their theories. They don't want to hide anything, ever. They are SO HAPPY to share.
if you read about any biology you can quickly lose touch with what is astonishing and miraculous vs what is mundane, from animals that steal chloroplasts to become photosynthetic, to cloning technology being old hat, to trees that didn’t biodegrade for tens of millions of years, to naturally occurring lateral gene transfer between vastly different species, to the creation of gametes from adult cells, to the ability of some cancers to induce blood vessel growth, to desert shrimp that lie dormant for years, to the sensitivity of human touch receptors, to the fact that human hardware has a latent ability to see UV but their corneas block those wavelengths, to birds that echolocate and live in caves, to human skin being covered in enzymes that destroy RNA, to individual trees becoming genetic tapestries branch by branch, to life forms that gain energy from the electron potential of metals in their environments, to plants that recognize their siblings and adjust their behavior accordingly when growing next to them, to metamorphosis
which is to say. All of it is miraculous. and all of it is mundane. biology is Chaos vs. Order locking horns forever

Okay but imagine how nervous the Justice League was when they first hired a "Centuries Old" Ghost. Not because of his powers but because he was "raised" in a very bad timeline, and they're worried Phantom has older world values. Like, is he homophobic, Sexist, Xenophobic, ect ?
Hes not, of course, but it was a worry early in working together.
Ok but this also coming full circle if he really wants to play into it?? Like depending on the era and nuance some things were, like yeah if you were gay you were supposed to keep your mouth shut about it but people are doing what now!? Or him commenting about the lack of territory wars when there’s Ice about 🤷♀️ stuff like that- he’ll even that one Dracula movie where he full on doesn’t understand the concept of “having rights” lol
Or on a more magical side of it,
Sexism? Fae have like 13 genders
Xenophobia? Sure I never did like those northeastern dwarfs, the ones from the south mountains are far more pleasant!
Homophobia? Again so many genders! What’s really important is their class/craft! What do you mean a demon bard is marring a blessed cleric ??? The outrage!! (More like the drama for Danny but you know 🤷♀️ )
Expanding this to Phantom not understanding people being insulting or assuming insult where there is none causing ~misunderstandings~! XD
Literally all the Leaguers tripping over themselves.
Nightwing sweating because he slipped some Romani into conversation without noticing and Phantom won’t stop staring at him! He can only assume the worst! Racism!
Phantom (ww2 flashback face): Blink twice if you’re in danger.
Danny is just really enjoying messing with the leaguers because they all assumed he'd be racist, homophobic, trabsphobic or something
Phantom to Nightwing once in private: Are they not letting you speak your native tongue? I thought humans stopped forcing everyone to speak the preferred languages of the colonizers.
Phantom continues to refer to lesbians as 'Saphos nuns' or in some cases 'followers of Artemis'. He is insistent that nuns is the correct and modern way to refer to women who've sworn off men in honor of a god or goddess. He also keeps insisting enbys, trans peeps and gnc people in general are 'Loki's beloved devotees'.
He never shows to believe any of the racist stereotypes he's aware of. But he shows worry for people that they'll be targeted in racist ways that no longer apply.
He also gets very worried when someone who's left handed gets an injury on their left-hand.
ok ok ok on top of all that Danny need to mess with them with showmanship! Pizzazz! Drama!
- Phantom throwing down his bracer/glove and telling a villain to pick it up.
Damian recognizing this as a challenge to a duel: …no … wait … stop…
- Phantom mentioning his knights and staff (Fright Knight and a literal skeleton crew curtesy of Ember) after overhearing about a butler, Agent A.
The batclan: is he royalty?
Phantom: so where does your Steward take his allotted vacation time? Surly you give him leave? Why you’d be ripe picking for revolution if you don’t!
Jason gasping: the fucking French!?!!
(Danny calling Batman Lord cuz he owns and runs a manor, overheard Duke and thinks the son outranks him)
- Phantom after helping dismantle a meta fighting ring: And here I was told humans had evolved past gladiator matches, ugh being forced to fight for the entertainment of others was awful humans can be awful
Phantom to the LOA: What dishonorable behavior. My men would've committed seppuku before resorting to such heinous acts. And thats even with me being against seppuku. Shame on you, your family and honestly your entire bloodline. Who taught you to behave such a way?
Omg XD Phantom this presumably ancient being scolding other immortals. Especially if he’s met them before due to time travel shenanigans.
Phantom: Ras is misogynist? Ras? The mommas boy that literally let his mother get away with murder and would decry the way women in his village were treated? The guy that let assassins slit the throats of abusers and rapist?? That ras? What has the world come to ! Back in my day….power corrupts…how dare he…
Damian has such a weird experience watching what looks like a teenager scream at Ra's like a he's a misbehaving child.
Danny "Rúh would be ashamed how her little boy turned out! Imma drag you through the realms by your ear and make you go apologize. Your mama didn't raise you this way! I have half a mind to take my shoe and teach ya a lesson with it. But Rúh will want that honor for herself. You're grown now so she'll be happy to do it. Especially when I tell her how you treated her great grandbaby. You know how she felt about hurting kids."
Oh there’s just so many ways to make misunderstanding lol(Add in some Captain Marvel and we got two “immortal” friends messing around too! )
We can also twist this to a sad note too!
Like who’s supposed to tell the /dead teenager/ that their favorite animal no longer exists? That the recipe for their favorite food has been lost to time, hell that the ingredients don’t exist?! Who’s going to correct him when he gets the name of a country wrong because it’s gone?
Who’s gonna take him to a museum and watch his face fall overwhelming distressed at seeing a portrait of people (Sam and Tucker maybe) that are presumably no longer here?
Who’s going to burst Phantoms elation at so many babies and mother surviving after birth when that’s not the case everywhere?
Also Phantom having a deep hatred for the British Museum
As for the sad twists, Danny is absolutely just still playing around with Captain Marvel when they do this. Captain Marvel knows that they're both children but no one else does
Danny's favorite animal is one he met in the infinite realms and got to help take care of for a bit as part of his kingly duties. He's well aware that they no longer exist on Earth but its fun to mess with people.
Danny was the one who helped Sam and Tucker fake their deaths and run off to the infinite realms with him. They're having lunch next week. Sam is busy helping recently extinct animals find a good eternal resting place in the infinite realms. And Tucker is working with technis to bring the internet to the dead.
His favorite recipe is one Dorathea made for him. He loves the dragon ladies cooking. If anything he's surprised it ever existed on earth and there's a record of it once being made. He thought it was just an infinite realms thing. But its perfect material to mess with the league with. They deserve it for assuming he was gonna be a bigoted asshole before even having a conversation with him.
Danny's excitement at birth survival rates is just an act. He was well aware of this before and is using his reaction for the cameras as a way to advocate for better maternity care for those who don't have access. Him and Captain Marvel planned a whole skit with Sam and Tucker. Watch how these republican lawmakers are breaking this poor child's heart! Donate to planned parenthood to spite those stupid senators!
Danny's hatred of the British museum is very real. And it's one he's had since before he died. He's a space obsessed kid, the British Muesum is almost certainly responsible for the loss of much astrological knowledge the Greeks had recorded with how they treat Greek artifacts(All artifacts actually but Greek is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think historical astronomers. And while many civilizations have a lot of astronomy Greek is usually the first children learn about in my experience. Often because of Percy Jackson. Speaking as a former space obsessed child with space obsessed children as friends). So he turns up the outrage even more to advocate against the British Muesum stealing... I mean receiving more artifacts.
