Everybody say thank you David Bowie Gender? What is this, soviet russia? They/them (or he/him if you so please) I <3 project Hail Mary if you couldn't tell I have far too many interests if you think I'm into a fandom i probably am So ask me about it Because i will rant like you've never seen before

The current state of AO3 relationship tags for the “Project Hail Mary” tag is fucking crazy.

The top option is a platonic relationship.

The second option is a gay crossover ship.

The fifth option is a ship between two alien monogendered rocks that’s mentioned in passing with a character we never meet.

The sixth option is also a crossover situation, but it’s not a ship and instead a twin brother AU.

Said sixth option is ABOVE an actual canonical relationship (and its romantic interpretation).

The tenth option is a ship THATS FROM A WHOLE ASS DIFFERENT MOVIE!!!

what do we think about ryland being the one who kills their father but court takes the fall for it

ryland comes home to their father waterboarding colt and he doesn't know how long this has been going on but colt is drenched and choking and if he doesn't get colt out of their father's hands now, he's not sure if

he's moving before he's aware of it. but he's not moving to where their father is about to murder his brother. no, he's going upstairs and into their father's room—a bedside drawer that really only has one thing in it

their father yells something at colt (still somehow oblivious to ryland's presence) and pulls colt's head back under the running water and ryland's right arm is so heavy but he tries to keep it steady—

vaguely, he's aware that the front door opened and their father finally turning around—

ryland recoils from the force of it, his ears are ringing

the hand around colt loosens and then two bodies hit the floor

then there's a hand on his and he instinctively grips the gun tighter—a face appears in front of him, similar to his own but a little older

court. it's court who's trying to take the gun from him and so ryland lets him. court's mouth is moving but ryland can't make anything of it, he's just aware that court is wiping down the gun with his shirt before he fits it into his own hand

he pushes ryland towards colt who's still gasping and wheezing but alive

the first thing ryland hears when he's regained his hearing are sirens

à lot of people are correctly pointing out how this fits with "grace just needed someone to be brave for" but I think this would also contribute to Grace's self image. he "lets" his older brother take the fall for his actions and that leads to his brother being like. presumed dead for years and years and being tortured and killing people and-

you are eight years old and your father is drowning your twin brother in the bathtub. theres only one way you can think to get him to stop, to save your brother. by the end, you still lose a brother, just not the one you thought you would, its your fault, because you were too much of a coward (you were so small, just a third grader younger than the kids you teach now, you were a kid) to take responsibility for your actions

ANYWAY-

ever since seeing this post the Beastie Boys have taken up residence in my mind and they won't leave me alone. I pulled some leftover beans out of the fridge and was instantly mentally assailed with "beans beans, the magical FRUIT the more you EAT the more you TOOT" I will never again know peace

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

I reblog this post every time I see it

do you think two pennies is still enough for the ferryman or has inflation driven up the fare

if he makes me use an app I am simply not crossing the river Styx.

Hi! I’m New York’s mayor Zohran Mamdani. For too long New Yorkers have been forced to pay increasing fares for journeys to the land of the dead. I’m here to change that. I pledge to make transit on the river styx fast and free so across the 5 Boroughs people can have quick and affordable passage into Hades.
