Can I plant my roots in your life?

something I do find mildly funny about project hail mary is that like. okay I think Ryan Gosling was excellent casting, right? like I think he does a really phenomenal acting job and I enjoyed him in this movie immensely, he gives a very endearing and believable performance as this meek nerdy scientist. and sure, actors can and do radically change their body types for films pretty often, but I don’t think this particular work really called for that. so like it’s fine. but there just really is no particular narrative reason for Ryland Grace to be beefy and muscular the way Ryan Gosling is. like that’s not something that just happens to you, it’s something you have to build and maintain. idk a lot about astronaut training, I’m sure it’s probably good for them to be physically fit. but notably Grace was not intended to go into space until the last second. so it’s not like he was working out for that. And like I guess there’s really no reason why he can’t be a nerd and also a gym guy. but it just is kind of amusing how jacked he is for no good reason. like imagine you’re rocky and for some reason or another you do get to go to earth and meet other humans and learn more about human biology in general. like I know Rocky wouldn’t REALLY have a metric for human attractiveness or maybe even buffness. but I have to imagine at some point it would hit you like. grace hunky dreamboat question. grace cut sexy GQ underwear model question. why grace get put in spaceship question. grace should have been at club statement. shaking ass in jockstrap statement.

Ok but in the book the robot that takes care of him exrcises his muscles and he wakes up from his coma JACKED. Hes literally like ??? Have I always been so buff? There is a nod to this in the movie where onebof his whiteboard questions is "always muscles?". For RG the answer is yes, but for grace the answer is no lol

The transition from two to one spaces happened during my adult life. I was there gandalf, deep magic, etc.

Two, Americanly, and it was a FUCKING FRUSTRATING transition.

Saw your book at my local bookstore and had the same thought! I was like, eyyyy the tumblr author I've been followimg for ages is here... i wonder if their spiderbook will show up here too.
