Happy Pride month to the moon

shoutout to project hail mary for showing one of the biggest and what sometimes feels like most unattainable aroace fantasies coming true: having a best friend who doesn't value you less than their romantic partner.

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

Ryland Grace is the character of all time actually. He's a genius molecular biologist. He's a middle school teacher. He wears big cozy knitted jumpers and his glasses are hanging off his face (defying gravity) roughly 58% of the time. He thinks he's a coward but makes peace with dying for a good cause. His best friend is a rock alien he met on an end of the world buddy-buddy roadtrip. The first thing he teaches to said alien best friend are dance moves. He saves the universe with the power of shitty arts and crafts. He cries in more scenes than any male lead I can remember in a Hollywood movie. His happy ending is living in a terrarium on a distant planet like his alien best friend's weird rescue pet. He's also aroace coded.

Let it be known that, while the traits are bonuses, I do not think Ryland Grace is aroace just because he is single and awkward. I think Ryland Grace is aroace because I am pure of heart and soul and I simply Know these things

Everyone, especially the allo/heteronormative folks, who saw project Hail Mary and felt sympathy towards Grace when Stratt told him ‘you don’t even have a dog.’ I need yall to feel that same emotion and empathize with your single and childless friends, be they aro/ace/aroace or just not interested. Just because someone doesn’t have a partner or child does not mean they have inherently less worth and it does not mean their life is inherently less meaningful. Grace loved his kids. He loved his job. He had joy. He had fulfillment. He was a person.
