Seeing people calling the baby Eridians “pebbles” is so funny to me because all I can imagine is Rocky and Grace talking about random things humans do when they are bored and grace mentions that he used to throw pebbles in rivers or kick them down the street as he walked and Rocky being horrified at his statement.
"so grace is a pebble-killer, statement?"
As a historian and a woman, Stratt probably lives with the deep seated dread that comes from knowing we've always been one bad decade away from losing everything.
She knows whose safety will vanish as tension rises, whose rights will be rescinded first with the crisis, she knows what will be done to women and girls caught in the midst of wars and that even if the Hail Mary succeeds the harm that'll be perpetrated in those long cold years is something that cannot be undone within a century.
I think she's terrified.
shout out to project hail mary for being a platonic romantic movie. like. Like. every other scene with eva or rocky harks deeply on romantic tropes. rocky and grace pressing their faces together through the xenonite. grace going to find eva on the deck of the ship, being the only one who looked for her. the dance between the blip-a and the hail mary when they first connect tunnels. eva telling grace she believes in him like a prayer. rocky being bossy and impassioned and grace being exasperated but also adoring it. the entire karaoke scene, the cuts to graces smile while she sings. rocky screaming at grace to Get The Fuck Inside during the taumeoba mission. and its a lovestory abt platonic love. at no point does the movie imply either of these relationships should be or are romantic. but they are love stories. Lowers my body into the marsh.
love stories about platonic love my beloved
