Coltland universe where Grace only remembers Colt after sending Yao and Ilyukhina off into space, commending their bodies to the stars, and realizing that he never got to say goodbye to his brother and will never get to.

Plotting out and storyboarding a book is stupid.

(I say, plotting out and storyboarding 3 different fics)

Tweets like this excite me bc I am POV'ing one of Graces students in a big fic of mine specifically so I can show what their lives were like and how they were impacted.

[clown @mrspktr]

fics that mention/directly involves grace's students makes me so damn emotional like, those were his babies :((

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

This is spawned by the fact that I can't figure out a name in Korean for 'hail mary' or a similar phrase which could spawn the nickname 'Ellie'

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

Simon who calls his medical bot "Ellie"

After beginning to (finally) make project outlines and plotting before writing I have found a newfound respect to oneshot writers and mini-fic writers.

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

First day back at work since Hail Mary released for free and I have abandoned my regularly scheduled Youtube Time in order to watch it repeatedly since the kids went to bed.

This is Rise of the Guardians for me all over again, except now I'm 25 instead of 12.

A sketch that I'll probably never finish, but fun idea tho

To those who are on waiting lists and backorders for the PHM Book.... I think y'all should check out the internet archive and search their book library....

Lemme just say it has done WONDERS for my fic writing having that exist.

[qwerty 🦔 @chokedqwerty]

that au wehere ilyukhina and yao dont die and everyone is a bit more happymaybe? a bit sillier? #projecthailmary

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

And!!!! And think about!!!! Think about how in his universe calling someone that!!! Means!!!! EVERYTHING!!!!!

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

Simon calling Grace "(my) star" or "(my) sun" over "(my) angel" ANY day, thank you.

You cannot convince me that Simon would call Grace his savior or angel any more than once after being found by him.

Between Simons religious trauma and Grace hating the nickname... just no.

@Cryptid_Rains Its that fuckin meme
"now to Ryland with the weather report. Ryland?"
"ITS RAINING SIDEWAYS"

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

@emotionalking13 I love-

Rocky and Grace having to figure out A: why tf are we here and B: how TF do we get home??

Meanwhile, Adrian and Simon are just vibing and somehow figuring out the petrova issue faster

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

@emotionalking13 Of course!!! I am very excited and it is looking to probably be long lmao

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

@emotionalking13 your DM's are closed, but may I use this as inspiration for a fic idea I've had?

[Silas || Scob shipper ✌️🍉 @emotionalking13]

In the book, Stratt breaks an engineer out of prison to help deal with getting enough power to breed the astrophage for Project Hail Mary.

An AU in which Dimitri asks for Simon specifically to help with the spin drives. Simon who is in prison for blowing up his whole facility.

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

When the hyperfixation gets so bad that you download conceptual blueprints and start trying to figure out logistics

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

@emotionalking13 Oooo I didn't even think about that (I may or may not have gotten inspired by your tweet and started outline a fic btw).

What would the premise there be??? Would he be within communication range with either Earth or Simon?? Would Grave meet Rocky and Simon meet Adrien???

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

This also applies to sci-fi in general.

Yes, I like feeling smart while reading books and knowing the information is accurate.... but this is also fiction.

Fiction is created from imagination; not perfect fact nor history.

Let me use creative liberty damnit.

[✨ Nix ✨ Mentally Drained Era ✨ @Cryptid_Rains]

Fully believe in creative liberty when it comes to sci-fi fanfiction.

No, I do NOT have the smarts to be writing this.

Yes, my brain DOES hurt from trying to research it all.

No, I am not making myself frustrated and giving up bc of logic - I make the rules now.
