fellas is there a better feeling than brainrotting about your old ocs rebooting with your friend and losing your writer's block for a SECOND just to write straight fire as the opener of your RP?

adhd time blindness strikes again (thought i still had time to go see project hail mary in imax again but apparently it went out of imax weeks ago, then came back for a week, and is already gone again)

grace's moment in the petrova line is so so good because it underscores a crucial aspect of the story: there are no bad guys. they could so easily make astrophage the bad guy: give it a minor leitmotif, make all the moments it appears tense and fearful. but instead they make it beautiful. the most profound, awe-filled moment of the film is him basking in astrophage. multiple characters in the book point out how, if not for the whole killing-the-sun thing, astrophage's energy-storage potential would make it the most incredible discovery in humanity's history. astrophage isn't evil, it's just life, doing what all life does.

realized another thing i love about the project hail mary score: the choral vocals are wordless but they’re not just sung on an “oo”—there’s a little bit of vowel distinction, the hint of consonants. just enough that your brain recognizes it as language and tries to make sense of it. so the experience of hearing it is one of straining so hard to make out the meaning in something that you can’t understand but you’re sure is intelligent communication

lowkey jealous of people who have a fandom Thing. i write once in a while but no one would call me A Writer. i make art sometimes but im not An Artist. i don’t stick with anything long enough, or consistently enough, for it to be my Thing that i do or that people know me for so im just kinda. here. chilling

listened to jenny from thebes all the way through again today and oughhhhh im remembering all the OFMD gifs i wanted to make with the lyrics 👀
