Project Hail Mary screenshot of Rocky and Grace in the Don't Go Crazy room on the trip to Adrian. Grace is sitting with his back against Rocky's xenonite ball and Rocky is mirroring him by leaning his whole body against the ball so it's like they're sitting back to back. The room's screens are showing a snowy scene with lots of pine trees.

Four different pieces of extremely different fanart of the same guy. Four Eds (and two Stedes) in 3-4 different media, depending how you count the two felt projects!
A linocut print of a frame from the Ed/Stede beach kiss scene in OFMD 2x08, during the second kiss in the sequence. Ed's hand with the spider tattoo visible is holding Stede's face, both their eyes are closed, and Ed's nose is squishing into Stede's cheek while they kiss. Stede has a very blissful, peaceful expression on his face and Ed's is more intensely emotional. There's a black border around the image and the background is blank except for some little gesture lines left over from the block carving process that I decided to keep in.A small craft felt figure of Ed in his Jeff the Accountant costume. He's holding a scrap of red felt.An amigurumi kraken with a purple head and grey tentacles. It has a red ribbon tied around one tentacle.A frame from the OFMD season two "you wear fine things well" scene showing Stede's hand reaching out to hold Ed's. The frame is made out of felt appliqué with embroidery for the tattoos on Ed's arm and hand.

Project Hail Mary screenshot of Rocky and Grace right after Grace has revealed that he's supposed to die after they finish the mission. Grace is bending down to be level with Rocky in his tunnel. He's doing a thumbs-up and saying "Tiny thumbs-up?" The shot is framed in silhouette.Rocky saying "No." He's sort of tucking his carapace behind two of his limbs. He's upset that Grace is going to die and definitely does not want to thumbs-up this even if Grace claims to have made peace with it.

1. Stegosaurus 2. I haven't seen enough to have a favorite but I was super excited to get to see Apex at the Museum of Natural History in NYC last year - one of the most complete Stegosaurus fossils ever found!
Me with Apex the Stegosaurus fossil. The way the fossil is positioned it very much looks like it is also posing for the picture.

Project Hail Mary screenshot of Grace sitting next to the taumoeba breeder tanks after the leak and speaking into a handheld camera. He's saying "He’ll be without any fuel, stranded. His life-support system will fail. And if that doesn’t kill him the radiation sickness will. He’s looking at a long, slow, painful death. Alone." The whole shot is lit red from the ship's emergency lights.Grace's "Who Am I?" whiteboard erased so that he can calculate a course to go rescue Rocky. His hand is in the middle of drawing an arrow connecting a circle labeled "Me" with one labeled "Rocky".

Project Hail Mary screenshot of Rocky in his new xenonite ball at the base of the ladder leading from the tunnel to the Hail Mary's open airlock door.

We don't usually see each other’s headers. Quote post with yours. Still one of my best cosplays ❤️
Me cosplaying as Rey from Star Wars. I'm leaning against a low wall and looking out over water, the picture is cropped so you can see from about elbow height and up. The costume is Rey's outfit from when we first see her in The Force Awakens, so my head and hair are covered with a cloth wrap with goggles pushed up above my forehead.

Project Hail Mary screenshot from the excessive centrifugal force scene. Rocky is banging on the wall of his xenonite enclosure and screaming for Grace. The whole shot is lit up red from the ship's emergency lights.Close-up of Grace's face slammed against one of the Hail Mary's control screens. He's unconscious with blood all over his nose and forehead and there's a trail of blood dripping horizontally from about his left eye/temple level across the cracked control screen.

Project Hail Mary screenshot from the post-taumoeba leak reunion scene of Grace in his EVA suit looking very worried as he looks through the wall of the xenonite tunnel for Rocky.Grace with tears in his eyes because he's been banging on the wall and calling for Rocky and hasn't seen any signs of life yet. There's also a rainbow line cutting across the middle of the shot from light reflecting off the xenonite.Grace looking through the xenonite wall with a big grin on his face because he can finally see Rocky coming towards him. (The rainbow line is also still there.)Grace looking at Rocky through the xenonite barrier. Grace looks so, so happy and relieved that Rocky is there.
