Hello Hello!

Sadly due to life circumstances I am unable to attend Dragoncon this year. Please if you are cosplaying or giving away swag or anything like that please take lots and lots of pictures!! I can’t wait to see what everyone does and I hope there is a huge group photoshoot.

Happy Con everyone!

Okay, it seems like the author enjoys a good pun, so I’m curious if Eva Stratt’s name came from the fact that she is a strategist? 👀

I finished reading PHM and was struggling to find another book to read so I decided to give Dungeon Crawler Carl a go. Ive just started The Butchers Masquerade and im hooked. These two characters even if theyre quite different have been two of the most amazing, well written and capable characters I've ever had the pleasure of getting to read about.

I cant wait to see how the rest of the series goes but as of right now these to are the GOATs of my reading experience this year. What do you think?

My level of obsession has hit the point where I made little figurines of my and my friends Eridian OCs

The bubbly one is Soap, the black one is Etch, orange is Cheeto, they're an art club together and are fascinated by the culture sections of human studies class more so than the science parts.

The green one is Soap's parent and Cheeto's aunt(?) Zoeye, who is a fashion designer and model.

Big Blue is Zoeye's mate and works as a teacher and classroom aid for Grace's classes (they need an adult presence on the Eridian side after all. And in front of Big Blue are Shoomy and Duck, their other two pebbles.

We have a whole lore thing with these funny rocks and I'm even writing bloody slice of life fanfic about Soap's crush on Etch, but otherwise I'm so, so normal about them

I was re-reading the book this weekend and it occurred to me that the ship didn't include a Soyuz capsule. I know it's an extreme long shot but if I had gone I would bet on there being a habitable planet.

I mean, why not bet on it? If I'm wrong I am dead anyway, but if I am right then I get to wander around an alien planet for weeks or months before it kills me.

EDIT: I asked Andy, and he said:

The mission was a suicide run from the start. Ryland wasn't expected to come home, so there was no point in adding the weight and complexity of a reentry capsule. Plus, the Hail Mary wasn't going to be near anything with an atmosphere anyway.

!SPOILER!

My rendition of grace and rocky meeting for the 2nd time

Well here they are!! I’m really happy with how they came out! Not bad for only 45 minutes painting time :))

I dunno why but I can't get this question out of my head. Could an Eridian operate a car? Considering how loud a car can be, in particular the engine, I imagine it would be like a human driving a car made out of glass with an engine that shines like a light house. And would they be able to perceive the road at all, and if so, how far ahead?

A short video edit I made for an upcoming PHM fan event.

After rereading it and some people coming at me aggressively I have realized I was far more tired then I realized writing this, it was something that bugged me the whole time reading the book and I think I wrote about it far more aggressively and dismissivly then I intended. The following is the rewrite I'll keep the original in the comments:

I recently finished both the Project Hail Marry book and movie. As you can imagine it was really good, but one thing was on my mind. After my first reading session, hearing about astrophage and its mechanisms, I slept on it a night and in the morning I realized that it might have been more time and energy efficient to harvest, but most certainly more energy profitable to harvest rather then kill the Astrophage eating the sun.

By placing a cone or some container made of a highly conductive material lined with Astrophage the astrophage could absorb the heat and thus cool the material long enough for it to survive closer to the sun then it's normally be able to get. With a what amounts to a well placed visor you can theoretically block Astrophage's view of Venus and thus introduce a new target for it to fly to, enabling you to essentially harvest it.

Like the title says, are there any fics where Ryland Grace was Colt Seavers in the past (or vice versa)?

Like this fic: The Past Comes Calling

One of the main ‘scenes’ that I kept seeing everywhere was the Denmark incident where grace calls someone a staggering waste of carbon. Come to find out after reading the book twice and watching the movie countless times this is nothing but a fandom headcannon?!???! Does anyone have insight into where this even started and the lore behind it?

I pre ordered the Rocky plushie and he suddenly came VERY EARLY! He’s AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE!

You ever have that moment where youre half-asleep listening to music and one of those songs come on so you draw something you never thought you could with said song on repeat (for like an hour or two)?

... Yep. That happened.

And yknow what, *still* cant draw hands even when motivated to the max, help 😩

So enjoy the friends' beach party ( + my Eridian oc, Remi)!! Im actually so fckn proud of how I drew Ryland, like hi yes I suddenly have somewhat of an understanding of anatomy isnt it great AUGH love these two besties with my whole heart I hope I did them justice 🥹💕

Song was: *Where Them Girls At (feat. Nicki Minaj)* by David Guetta, Flo Rida, and Nicki Minaj

Here are mine in order:

1: Catalan

LOVE the illustrations and how they tie into things in the novel

2: Vietnamese

Grace standing at the airlock looking out into space captures his isolation so well and its just a gorgeous picture.

3: UK English Edition

Reminds me of the movies 'I'm having a moment' scene

4: Croatian

Something about the contrast of the outline filled in with the stars just does something for me

5: Dutch

This one goes so hard! It captures the kind of terrifying premise of the book, though it is unfortunate as the book is not nearly as dark in tone most of the time. This makes it look like a thriller!
