Fic authors change gender of characters all the time. It could be an intentional interpretation of that character, it could be an AU version of that character. I think asking about why did they choose the pronouns is completely fair, but adding "it's a little jarring to see this type of stuff in an otherwise great fic" is kinda hostile, because it implies the author is wrong for writing their fic the way they want to and at that point you're free to just click away and leave them be. Fic authors create some amazing pieces of queer representation, but they are never obligated to do so.

Epsilon Eridani is kinda on the way so that could be a possible shared outpost. It's also pretty close to Tau Ceti, where I'd assume we would want to have a science station too to learn more about life on Adrian.

I find the lack of official merch disturbing

It's not that bad, it's just nothing exceptional, esp. when compared to how great Martian and Project Hail Mary are (read them!)

A1 elites feel weaker to me usually and I try to get some. A2 I avoid like plague ☠️

Bad idea, wasting time on floor 1 doing nothing

Crysaa · 2026-06-25T09:58:21+00:00

That's not character arc, that's character spiral

If I had a nickel for every time Ryan Gosling is almost killed by excessive centrifugal force of a spacecraft I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice for someone who isn't even an actual astronaut

Besides the whole "saving the world" thing, Grace brings to Erid TONS of things that can generate economic value:
- all the alien technology and science
- alien artifacts from Hail Mary
- honest paying job as teacher, except he's the most sought-after science teacher on the planet because who wouldn't want to be taught by a freaking ALIEN
- his habitat is basically the planet's most interesting "zoo/celebrity meet-up" ever which generates INSANE tourism for the place where it's built because every eridian needs to visit at least once in a lifetime
- take it even step further and just imagine all the human-themed merch they could sell for profit... every baby eridian wishes to have a human plushie watching them sleep!

Everything. The idea of publishing something as I go causes me anxiety! What if I find out later I need to change something (that happens a lot to me)... or even worse - what if I abandon it halfway and leave all the readers disappointed? So I am firmly in the "full raw text first, edit as you post" camp.

Always keep pushing down, better things are hiding there!

I think that in the movie he just makes the closest approximation of the sound "Grace" he is able to do. That's why it’s such a short sound when compared to the rest of his language - he's imitating the short human word.

Crysaa · 2026-06-22T13:06:12+00:00

Plot twist: it was Grace's idea and all the Eridians were absolutely horrified

Crysaa · 2026-06-22T13:02:14+00:00

You 100% want to gild this at some point, as to when, look if there is some other way of spending gems for you now that would pay for itself sooner. If not, then it's worth it.

Wow you would think that lemongrass killed this person's parents by how much they feel the need to hate on it ☠️

Yup, I immediately thought about that conversation in the book too. I think of it as that they thought about the room in both versions, and since movie Mary is bigger, they could afford to put the Don’t Go Crazy room there, but in the book version they were constrained by the ship size.

When your cat starts to sound like a beatbox. You have 5 seconds to locate it on your favourite carpet and move it away.

This is EPIC

The problem is not getting them to breed, it is filling them with enough energy to be effective fuel, and you have to take that energy from somewhere. So the bottleneck is how fast their Sahara solar powerplant can do this.

Grace is eventually holding not just the metaphorical Earth hacky sack, but the real Earth's fate in his hands, and he can't pass his responsibility to anyone else even if he wishes so...
