It mentioned that Scar had a hand in its design and I figured with Scar being, you know, Scar, and him wanting things to look cool/having a lowkey obsession with animals, that, after the abs idea failed to get through, he'd try to make it look as close to an animal as he possibly could without it being Super Obvious and therefore the design sneaks by the higher ups.

Given the dumbbell shape, I was picturing hammerhead shark shaped. It said dumbbell esque so I figured it wasn't exact, so if the heads of the dumbbell were kinda flattened and set perpendicular to eachother it'd kinda look like the head and tail of the hammerhead shark.

And of course the solar sails are probably radially symmetrical and in many practical places. But, since they seemed to be retractable, I assume they don't all extend at once and can flare out depending on need. And, you know, if a spacific combination of sails, if extended on their own, were suspiciously in the spots of a shark's fins, who's counting? Certainly not Scar, no sir. These are Practical Sails. This is a Practical Configuration of Sails, very good for piloting.

It doesn't look exactly like a hammerhead shark because the specific shape of the ends and sails aren't perfect, and there's of course things like the domes centered on the ends, but it's just close enough that Scar snickers to himself when he sees pictures of it.

okay first off I'm laughing at "idk if this is normal" because like fuck if I know either. idk if my answer is normal either!

ANYWAY this is a really cool idea! I will have to think on it but I could see it; this is a good solution to the problem of just emotionally wanting Thing That Goes Fast to be aerodynamic-looking but the practicalities of Thing That Has People On It In Space do not necessarily make that a practical or simple design choice.

I do also think it would be very funny if Scar had THAT MUCH influence on the external design. I think it would be reasonable for Scar to have some influence but probably it's not standard for pilots to have their suggestions about the entire shape of the ship taken seriously, which ngl is a little fucked-up just because that's gonna be their body for a long time. But I like to imagine them looking at his proposal and being like "well, it's Scar... last time we incorporated some of his suggestions about the exterior, nothing blew up and the investors loved it... not the pecs, obviously."

And, actually now I'm thinking Scar might have submitted the pecs-and-abs design intentionally knowing they'd turn it down and that then the pseudo-shark design might be received more warmly because it's actually pretty good and it has no stupid space muscles.

Eventually Grian learns that the whole time Scar was also conscious of the loop and just found it really funny. They start off as strangers, fall in love with each other through this stupid repeating day, and I haven't slept for 20 hrs help

THAT LAST PARAGRAPH KILLED ME. LMAOOOOOOO. SCAR KNOWING AND DOING IT ON PURPOSE 😭😭😭😭😭 i Love a good ol timeloop always and somehow the whole idea of a stranger has to save your life is actually so funny wait.

i imagine it would take them a while to make the connection of it has to be that guy, especially to scar. bc for scar the time would reset when he dies without anything happening afterwards. so it's more an i got given a second chance at life feeling, while grian i assume would keep going with his day (?), go to sleep and then wake up the next morning and suddenly it's the same day again. but scar maybe didn't even see grian the first time around. so scar is still at an i die by accident level by the time grian notices it's That guy it has to be that guy. and this should also take him a bit bc idk if hes setting up a bomb somewhere then surely scar's first course of action (or at least like, his first course of action once he establishes the day is def looping) would be to switch his path and avoid whatever killed him. and then he dies in some other odd way LOL so it would take them a bit to properly reunite

scar eventually also notices theres something up because the day stops repeating, and this guy seems to be getting closer? but i think he would indeed find it funny and not give it too much thought like aww look at this silly guy hes so frustrated LMAO and really i think the way he would fully understand the situation is because at some point grian just has a breakdown and vents at him the entire story. and scar is a bit. ow but i don't actually want this to end. so theres some dilemma of if i help him we might part ways.............

People calling any of the non-men on the server moms when Grian is right there adopting anything he can get his hands on. His mom energy is so very real and I love that for him.

Impulse: "The season just ended, and I'm already like, seriously looking forward to the next life series.

Scar: "Oh yeah. Who knows what it's gonna be, he always seems to pull something interesting out of the pocket, but yeah. I love the series."

No mention of Grian's name whatsoever, and like, I feel like most people watching know who he's talking about because we know the life series and how it works, but it was still funny to me that he just drops Grian into the conversation like the conversation had actually been about Grian already and therefore he doesn't need to specify who 'he' is.

(Bonus when it's followed soon by Impulse and Skizz realizing they forgot to introduce Scar and explain who Scar is to their audience, because they also just assume everyone knows Scar lmao. Some people really just do not need to be introduced.)

HKSJHDKJSDHS no really that is just how scar talks about grian sometimes. "he" "that man" "the man in the red sweater" etc etc hskjdhsd love when he does it
