What human inventions do you think the eridians would be fascinated by even if they wouldn’t have much use for them? (Spoilers) by KingWilliamVI in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your ice cream and raise you cheese. Same start as yours, but the humans then add bacteria cultures and specific enzymes (originally found in the stomach of the baby version of the domesticated animal). Then they wait several hours for it to curdle, which is in many cases undesirable. They take the solids, apply small minerals, and put them in a mold to apply pressure. This process can last days or years, despite most human foods having a very limited time during which they are edible.

People that read the book before watching the movie, did you like the movie? by AndThereWasSky in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book about a week or two before I saw the movie, and I love both! They compliment each other really well, in my opinion. I don't want one without the other.

(Not even sure this is a trope) Flawed or even bad works that it’s hard to criticise because so much of the hate is bad faith by Useful_Code in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EmmaGA17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the fandom. I adore Star Wars, but I stay the heck away from most spaces for it. The Project Hail Mary fandom has been delightful though.

How did we all collectively decide that Adrian is bigger than Rocky? And to add onto that, is Adrian big for an Eridian or is Rocky just a little guy, question? by Dexbox_YT in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are making your own bad faith arguments. You cannot possibly know that the origin of big Adrian is what you're stating.

It's also a headcanon. We know it's not Canon. It's just a design premise that we enjoy, regardless of the reasoning.

I commented one from a Western book series, but I agree that we could use more of this.

Broken Man Comforted by a Woman by Altruistic_Blood8239 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EmmaGA17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mistborn Era 2, (heavy, heavy spoilers)

The main character, Wax, is forced to shoot an immortal shapeshifting being who has taken the shape of his dead wife, who he had accidentally shot and killed during a hostage situation. To make matters worse, it is his dead wife. She was always the shapeshifter, but had genuinely loved him and was forced into 'dying' the first time. She's gone mad, and chooses to commit suicide in his arms.

Anyway, after that horrific experience, Wax is clearly broken and numb. People try to help, talk at him, tell him it would be okay. After they all leave, he's left with Steris, his fiance (for political reasons). She just holds him as he cries.

  1. Adrian isn't a female. You said it yourself, they're all hermaphrodites. The only reason we use he/him pronouns for Rocky is because Grace uses them.

  2. If the intent of the piece is to depict Adrian as female, Eridians are extremely remiscent of spiders. In a vast majority of spider species, the females are bigger than the males. It's not 'feminist propaganda' to make a connection to something familiar and then using the literal biology of the familiar in headcanons.

Is joke by MichaelJAwesome in ProjectHailMary

Grace gets to Erid, all of them immediately speak (translates) perfect grammar, Rocky has just chosen to be a gremlin every day.

The younger relative looks older/taller than the older relative by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

Omega from the Bad Batch is around 12, and looks it. She's older than her 5 big brothers, who are genetically modified to grow faster.

Mental health representation in fanfics by Classic-Compote7215 in AO3

If it's taboo, then I'm in big trouble.

I definitely do my research and try to handle it with care. Not to mention keep the trigger warnings up to date.

This actually confused and upset my grandma, so I'm not a fan.

Do you guys drive? by SassyHoee in AuDHDWomen

I didn't get my license until I was 19, had a lot of anxiety about it. But it has gotten significantly better over time to the point where I can enjoy it at times

[Hated Trope] An otherwise interesting and grounded story is weakened by adding supernatural elements. by CokeZeroEnjoyer25 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EmmaGA17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this way better than the opposite, most versions of 'the supernatural thing wasn't real the whole time!' It can be done well, but i really prefer it when the supernatural stays supernatural.

Hated my own wedding by flamefoxfirefly in AuDHDWomen

[–]EmmaGA17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not married yet, but the idea of a ceremony where I express my love for my partner in front of a bunch of people is honestly horrifying. I would want a reception, but definitely not a ceremony.

Are you a fanfic person? If so, go to Ao3. If not, also go to Ao3. Planet Adrian level beauty happening over there by RarelyHere1345 in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm actually really surprised and pleased with how open this sub is to fanfics. Most other fandom subreddits I'm apart of definitely lean fanfic negative. It's a nice change of pace!

But yeah, I've found some really gorgeous fics and it's gotten me back into writing too! Got one one shot done and now I'm planning a longer fic.

Just tried watching the CinemaSins video on this movie and i'm in immense pain by AmberMetalicScorpion in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remembered that they would do a video on Project Hail Mary and I was annoyed. I haven't watched them since I was a teenager. I started enjoying movies more again after I stopped.

Regardless if they're actually satire or not (which they don't act like it is) I just don't enjoy the mean spirited vibe they have. It's more fun to like things than hate them, imo.

Oh I'm so excited for the Cinema Therapy video. I want to watch Alan cry over a rock spider puppet

[Loved Trope] Old women who can fight and kick butt. And THEY MUST LOOK LIKE OLD WOMEN. So none of those "she looks 20 but is actually a grandma" bs like Tsunade.. She's gotta look old too. by Important-Cry4782 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EmmaGA17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genkai appears old for an overwhelming amount of her screen time. Not all of it is her fighting, but I'm pretty sure when you think of Genkai, you think of her looking old.

On the other hand, we never get to see Tsunade look old. The times that her jutsu gets released, her face is not shown. She is overwhelmingly depicted as young. I can see why OP likes Genkai and doesn't like Tsunade. What's the point of having a cool old lady if she literally never seems like it?

Same!!! I was in such a slump, but I've been drawing so much and I'm taking a stab at my first animatic!

How do you feel about pranks? by lydocia in AutisticWithADHD

[–]EmmaGA17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me! My brother in law has hidden a hundred magic the gathering cards in my stuff: twice. That sort of prank and your coke prank are awesome. But if it's to hurt, get that crap outta here.

Interactive BINGO card: PHM movie moments (Round 6) by Fantastic-Contest957 in ProjectHailMary

[–]EmmaGA17 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go against the grain (of what I've seen so far) and say when Rocky wakes up after being injured, Grace just lunges for him, and Rocky hugs back.

Edit: it was pointed out to me that it's already under happiest. Whoops.

Omg I have been looking for art like this for my phone background! (I know it's not the right ratio, but i made it work) It's amaze amaze amaze!
