So I just finished educating my brother (distinctly a non-tumblrina) about the whole. Project Hail Mary thing. I began by jokingly talking about how I'm currently in the trenches of the PHM fandom.
Brother: what? I don't belive that. There's no way there is a trench to be in.
Me: oh... brother... Sit Down. You are so, so mistaken about this.
Brother: Okay prove it to me.
Me: Right so level 1 is canon stuff right? Grace gets to Erid, Grace maybe goes back to Earth eventually, etcetera. Level two is Rocky/Grace. Classic monsterfucking. On the same level is AroAce Grace which woo yay yippee big win for the Aroace community (aka me).
Me: So you know Iron Lung?
Brother: I do know Iron Lung! Markiplier!
Me: :D yeah! Anyway so Grace and-
Brother: is this related???
Me: yes. So Simon. Markiplier. Is being shipped with Grace.
Brother: *gets up and lies face down on the sofa, groaning* no wayyyy
Me: I'M NOT DONE. SO the Goslingverse-
Me: Keep up dude so Colt and Grace are twins which makes the ending of PHM WORSE actually-
Me: yeah but I'm not done. Court Gentry (insert explanation)
Brother: Now there's three brothers?!
Brother: Where does Ken fit into this?
Me: oh well actually a common, cracky explanation is that it was the coma otw to Tao Ceti E-
Brother: HUH??? So all the Goslings are connected???
Me: Yes! Well no. But in the fandom!
Brother: and these 3 brothers all grow up to be Ryan Gosling.
Me: YES AND ITS SO FUNNY. Btw PHM and Bloodymary are trending and have been for months.
Brother: I'm never underestimating tumblr again...
