Tired Shark

Biblically accurate Ryland Grace from Ryan Gosling himself.

[VD: A Project Hail Mary animatic titled "We ask the Project Hail Mary crew what they would take on a trip to space". The art is toned in purple, yellow, and orange. The characters answer with audio from interviews with the movie actors as microphones are held towards them.

Grace, sweating and laughing sheepishly: "Well, I wouldn't go to space... Just like never, I would run."

Ilyukhina, smiling: "A picture of my family."

Dubois smiles and stands with Yao, who nods seriously: "Nerds Gummy Clusters."

Grace, smiling nervously: "Why do I have to?"

Stratt: "My phone."

Grace: "Can I pick three? (He counts off) Coffee, donuts, and then, like, some choose-your-adventure novels so I can get a few multiple reads out of them. (He holds up his hands defensively) But I don't want to go. Just to be clear."

Double exposition

But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.

In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.

They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.

At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.

And you know all those jokes and headcanons about Rocky swearing every other word like any self-respecting engineer would, right? And Grace most likely did enter all those words into the translator, but replaced them with softer censored equivalents because he himself doesn’t really swear so the idea that someone might be talking to him in profanity every other sentence probably never even crossed his mind.

Now imagine this. They finally arrive to Erid. Grace desperately wants to make a good first impression, so he spends days hunched over his laptop, painstakingly assembling a greeting speech out of fragments from Rocky’s recordings.

And the resulting first contact speech sounds… bad. Like really bad. He turns the laptop toward the delegation looking unbelievably proud of himself. Presses play. And the computer proceeds to unleash a magnificent torrent of multilayered alien profanity stitched together from fragments of Rocky’s voice. Grace has absolutely no idea.

Rocky watched all of these preparations in silence the entire time, making those sly whistling noises that could absolutely be interpreted as laughter. Rocky's proud.

Y’all seem to like these, so here’s Blaze and Silver’s family tree in my Sonic AU! They’re the Sonic and Tails of their dimension 👍🏻 Guadalupe is of course this AU version of Lupe the Wolf from Archie Comics!

Their family lore is a little crazy, so here we go:

Big, then known as King Solis, was the guardian of the Sol Emeralds in the parallel universe to Mobius which in turn kept the power of the Phantom Ruby (the ‘dark’ parallel to the Master Emerald in this dimension) in control.

When King Sol’s son Zero was passed over as heir to the kingdom and the Emeralds in favor of his twin fraternal sister, Blaze, Zero grew deeply resentful and jealous. Eventually, he stole the Phantom Ruby, and in his first act of domination, he used it to destroy King Solis’s mind—turning him into a husk of his former self, with the intelligence of a mere child.

Blaze and Silver fought against their brother, the new King Infinite, but his powers were too great, and the kingdom was nearly destroyed. Blaze had not fully been taught by her father how to wield the Sol Emeralds, and without that knowledge, she knew she didn’t stand a chance against Infinite. Using Infinite’s reality-warping power against him, she grabbed her father and Silver before teleporting to the closest parallel dimension—Mobius.
