I'm so much older than I can take

i love project hail mary (and andy weir in general) so goddamn much because the overwhelming message, the one that you hear over and over again, is that it is always possible for things to get better. there is always a solution to be found. there is always someone who will help you. there are always friends, always answers, always a reason to keep going even when it seems so hopeless and terrible and lonely. and every time you hear that message you're like yeah. i know. sometimes i forget and things seem really dark. but you gotta keep going.

fuck it i will figure it out somehow

I love how in almost every adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo" the Abbe's last words are something like "Remember, do not let vengance consume you. Promise me you won't seek revenge. Justice is served by God" or smth like this, while in the book, the literal source material, he just goes "Find the treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Get the money" and then dies.
