Redesign of Eridians for the PHM Fantasy AU!
was too lazy to draw the front/back/side profiles haha. worldbuilding questions are always welcome!
I just finished the first chapter of my Project Hail Mary fairytale AU! It's only about 700-800 words rn but this is something I've been working really hard on and I'm really proud of it :)
8 hours of sleep? 2-day weekends?? Not. Enough. I need to be put in a medically-induced coma for roughly 4 years and wake up alone in space with no memories
Grace is actually so yellow-coded. I mean it makes sense if you think about it; yellow can represent:
cowardice, one of Grace's main character flaws
stars and the sun
joy, curiosity and happiness, which fits his personality
hope (a key theme in the book)
and it is on the book cover! oughh colour symbolism my beloved <33
Grace: *exists*
The costumers, apparently: we are going to create a character that is so yellow-coded
I had to do it.

Context: I'm working on a fantasy/fairytale AU for PHM in which the Hail Mary is a giant ship (the Lightark) and the sky is the ocean but funky. I make these choices because I want to feel.
I don't want Rocky to be anything too humanoid because (IMO) his dynamic with Grace works best as two individuals who have completely different bodies but are otherwise kin.
i designed a PHM cover in Keynote because graphic design is my passion
the PHM brainrot has consumed me.
every time i see a large collection of books i will examine it to see if Project Hail Mary is there. when an article or something mentions Ryan Gosling i immediately check if the upcoming PHM movie adaptation is mentioned. i have recommended this book to anyone who will listen. rocky literally lives in my head rent free. he hates soda water because apparently it's just regular water but with bonus Pain
*snorts the Petrova line*

The story of how I first got into Project Hail Mary.
Around March of this year, I started to see tik toks of The Martian and because of how the algorithm works, if you watch one video all the way through, it will recommend more videos like it, usually from the same account. The first time I saw The Martian was in hs health class when the teacher didn't want to teach. I've been a space nerd my whole life so I was happy with this. But after seeing it in class, I didn't get the chance to watch it again cause idk, life goes on.
Anyways, I started getting more videos about The Martian and I would watch every single one of them. Then in the comments of one of the videos, someone mentioned something about the book, and that's how I found out that it was originally a book. So I read it online and it was the best thing I had read in a while.
After that, I went to look at the other books that Andy Weir had written and I saw Project Hail Mary and Artemis. The website I use to read books didn't have PHM but it had Artemis so I started reading that. After a few chapters into Artemis, it was a coincidence that I went to Barnes and Noble so I tried looking for PHM but it was like $20 while it was only $7 on Amazon. So I ordered it there and while waiting for it to arrive, I finished Artemis.
By the time I finished it, it was already May, which is finals so I didn't have time to read. Once finals ended, I didn't catch a break cause I had summer school right after. Then 6 weeks of summer school passed and I finally had time to read. It was also a coincidence that the day I finished summer school, my family decided to go to the beach. The perfect place to read! During our time there, I read the first 100 pages and I was already in love. I finished the whole book in 3 days and it was all I could think about for the next couple months.
i wake up and i think about project hail mary. i eat breakfast and i think about project hail mary. i go to school and i think about project hail mary. i listen to music and i think about project hail mary. i breathe and i think about project hail mary. i go home and i think about project hail mary. i do homework and i think about project hail mary. i talk with my friends and i think about project hail mary. i go to sleep and i dream about project hail mary. LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT ITS BEEN TWO AND A HALF YEARS LET ME OUTTTT
