and come to think of it it’s pretty hilarious that all it took for me to understand the appeal of ryan gosling was to take away all his love interests and shoot him into outer space. like i’m still not gonna watch any of that other stuff but seeing him break his nose against the control panel of a burning spaceship really opened my eyes

woah this ryan gosling guy is kinda cute. has anyone else thought of this

When Grace inevitably dies on Erid they build him a statue. It is grand in that it is not towering, but built methodically with the utmost love respect and care. Adrian and Rocky oversee it’s construction and they ensure the Grace depicted not as a godlike saviour but a silly little space blob who taught their planets pebbles about relativity and who learnt to speak a language not made for his body. They make sure he is seen to be kind and brave. Lastly, they ensure an Eridian is carved with him so he will always have someone to watch him sleep.

i will fucking die on this hill btw. carl is in that tier of side characters u could ponder forever off the crumbs 🤏 provided bc they are doing so much with him. he’s security. he’s the guy with the expense account. he’s brimming with fucking joy at doing Science Experiments. he’s a coworker. he’s a pal. he’s the guy watching over you like a guardian angel while you’re dragged into a long slumber. and probably your death. he’s the guy telling you “you’ll do great” as you beg for help. literally the character ever.

Grace barely managing 8 months of very normal cohabitation with his partner vs. him going on a 3-4 year high stress, no exits, possible impending death cohabitation with his alien buddy and coming out of it just as badly attached to said alien buddy as before.

no one is allowed to move on from project hail mary actually. the thrum ends when i say so.
