(I Don't Know The Context Of This Screenshot Here. I Just Know That This Was The Most In Character Moment

autistic shiro is probably my favorite hc ever so heres a list of traits i noticed in him. feel free to add more im going off memory

- he comes off as unintentionally rude or curt in some scenes ive noticed

- hes probably the least expressive out of the main cast

- his voice inflection also stays generally the same? at least to my own autistic ears

- likes doing things his way which can just be stubborness but also autistic “i know this way so its good”

- hes pretty considerate and sympathetic but doesnt seem to be able to relate to others much

- has a pretty strict routine of what we see

- special interest definitely space and piloting

Meet Socks!

Humans being the first. Not the strongest or the smartest or the weirdest or the most violent. Just the first.

We called out into the dark over and over. We sent out messages in hopes. We searched every planet we could reach, in hopes of any sign of life. Any at all.

We thought, hoped we were the last, because we couldn’t bear the idea of being the one ones this awake and alive in a world as vast as this.

And we died alone.

When the others are born, many many years later, they find us, everything we left for them.

They recover The Golden Record and look at it a million times over, they dig up our fossils and put us in museums, they study us for years and years, loving us as we love our ancestors’ painted hands on cave walls.

In a lot of their languages, the word they use for us has the same root for “mother”.

kudos to Ryland Grace for finally being the true “I am alone in space” representation we deserve by sobbing his eyes out every chapter. Relatable. I do that and I’m not even light years away from my bed

Been thinking a lot about this book as of late and wanted to do a fun cover art mockup for it

(Who else is very excited for the film)

Given how humanity reacts to life in general, can we picture the INSANELY good memes that would have been made in the Martian universe while they tried to rescue Watney?

as someone who jumped from the Martian straight into project Hail Mary I was really not expecting how much more absurd project hail mary is.

like. The Martian is fairly grounded? Its sci fi and had some elements that couldn’t really happen but ultimately it was a survival story. And since the two are so closely associated ig I expected something similar?

But every chapter of project Hail Mary is like ‘algae are eating the sun’ ‘they nuked antarctica’ ‘aliens and humans have a common ancester’ etc. It’s amazing.

I’ve seen some more idiotic readers go “Mark and Grace are just the same people.”

if they’re the same people, explain this:

Mark Watney: *at any minor inconvenience * FUCKING FU— Ryland Grace: *world-ending, life-threatening news* holy moly
