"The spider (lokken), the frog ('klossu') and the lady bug (Marie nyckelpiga) are sacred. To intentionally kill any of these animals is a great sin, for which you will be punished. Either by your cows giving blood [instead of milk], or in some other way.
Many people consider the frog to be a förhamning* of a person. You will find many similarities between human hands and the feet of a frog.
- When a ladybug lands on you, you would usually say 'Liten, liten piga, hvart vill du flyga, norrut eller sorrut, österut eller västerut?' (Teeny tiny maid, where will you fly, to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west?) Then you let it fly.
The dor-beetle (tordyvel) also belongs to the sacred or protected animals, and [it is believed that] people who harass them will be punished."
- Johannes Klockars, Skrock och vidskepelse bland Malaks allmoge
*Hamn = shape (in this context only). Förhamning means something like "the state of being in a hamn" Compare with Freja's cloak of feathers (fjäderhamn or fågelhamn in Swedish).

Arts & Sciences || Lokken
@lou-bonfightme
Recently there had been a discussion on one of the message boards he was apart of about art. People had been sharing their collections, mostly stolen, but it had got him thinking! He did not have an art collection. He was a scientist, what use did he have for things hanging on the wall taking up space that could be better filled with hooks for equipment?
He figured when he ruled the world all of its art would be his, but why not start now? After all, it had been a dream of his to have one of those fancy portraits that royalty had in the movies. It could act as his poster for when he did succeed! And, unfortunately, he couldn't just steal one of those. He had to find someone to do it for him.
Which was how he found this local artist and why he was sitting in their studio. Out in the woods. Above a garage. Almost like a lair! Wonderful.
"So!" he grinned, clapping his hands and rubbing them together briefly. "How does this work?"

[project hail mary spoiler]
me thinking about ryland/stratt when the characters in the book are teasing ryland and asking if they’re sleeping together:
 i mean, they’re just joking around, i don’t really see it at all. neither of them seem to be interested, so meh.
me after reading chapter 24 and seeing how stratt betrayed ryland for the greater good, how she kept him around and close to her because she was already thinking he could end up being of use to her, how she flat out tells him she doesn’t respect him but she thinks he’s a good man, how she straight out tells him he’s too scared to be in a relationship because he’s afraid to get his heart broken: 
n-nOW HOLD ON A MINUTE 👀

If/when they create a phm movie, what changes (if any) would you like to see them make to the story?
Jesus that’s a hard question…wow…! In a perfect world, they’d change nothing. It’d be a TV show with lots of room to portray everything. But we don’t live in a perfect world. I, therefore, want to keep as much of the original book as possible. My only immediate want is that it might be cool for them to use “they” for Rocky instead of “he”. Maybe some toning down of the Crazy Russians stereotyping, though if they do it right, that can be great. Nothing else comes to mind that I want changed -- it's a very good book.
But with that out of the way, let's talk about stuff that will very likely be cut. Because I think that's very interesting...
I think, as with Pathfinder getting fried and the dust storm in the Martian (2015) (wherein, both times, a huge plot event in the movie was gotten rid of for time purposes, with little impact on the overall plot, but a devastating-ish loss to the dedicated novel-enjoyers), some stuff will get cut out. Let's go one by one through the timeline of events:
The flashbacks will be there. Maybe not in flashback form (maybe they come before the rest like in the Martian...though those aren't flashbacks it's just backstory), but nonetheless there. Not everything will be there, though. Stratt barging in on Grace's class will be there; him doing the first experiments on astrophage will likely be there; meeting the crew will be there along with some of him training them so as to explain how he learned so much about being an astronaut; the explosion at Baikonur and the proceeding chaos will be there, trailer meetings included; but I think that'd be roughly it. They'll add some; they'll take away a lot. No Steve Hatch; no Lamai; probably very little Lokken (which is very sad); no frenchscientistwhosenameicantrememberimnotevenarealphm fanomllllll, either. They'll have their stories be explained via Grace talking to Rocky. Lots will be explained via Grace talking to Rocky.
Now, they'll have to have Grace waking up and seeing his dead crewmates. They'll have to have Ryan Gosling wandering about this spaceship scratching his head. That's a big part of the story. But I think after a certain point, after enough clues are gathered together, they'll infodump on us. It will be done well, of course, I mean just look at who's making the movie, but it wil lhaev to be like that. Maybe the nannybot will give him information. Maybe there will be a "Here to save Earth from imminent apocalypse? Click here ->" type of thing, but it won't be Grace turning to the camera and saying "Hey guys! I'm here at Tau Ceti to save Earth from astrophage! There's this weird ship out there. Keep you updated! Like and subscribe!"; nor will it be a voiceover. I had a Media Arts teacher in school and he told us that, more than anything, we were to avoid having to use voice-overs to explain out movies. At all costs. So I doubt they'll use that here -- maybe later, though. More talking-head with visuals than voiceover explaining the story.
Now. With Grace meeting Rocky there will either be nothing cut or everything cut: Maybe Rocky wil have a Magic Language Machine. Maybe Grace has a Magic Language Machine. Maybe they do everything how they did it in the book. Either way, it'll have to likely be one or the other. I'm very excited to see how they do Rocky's voice. An adaptation of the Audible Audiobook's version would be ideal, as I and many others think. There aren't many other good options... With the rest, I'm genuinely not sure. I can see them going both ways with this: cutting everything and rewriting it or keeping it pretty book-accurate. By any measure, they won't cut it all out. That'd be stupid.
With the in between between the Blip-A-Hail Mary disconnection and them arriving at Adrian, much will be cut out. It'll be rewritten. For better or for worse. Since it's just that theoretical, I'm not sure what changes I'd even want to see. Maybe some more back story on Rocky's crewmates? On Adrian (the eridian)? I mean Grace asking Rocky about Adrian would be a great opportunity to get some backstory in, btu the movie will already be so chock-full of it that I don't know if they'll be able to fit it in amongst everything else.
The Adrian Incident will likely still be very, very similar. It's the emotional peak of the movie. Rocky will nearly die. I will watch my friends weep, crying about how I should have warned them, and I will tell them they should have read the book. With Grace trying to save Rocky...eeh...it might be there; it might not. Flip of the dice with the landscape of the table being what the rest of the plot looks like, if that makes sense.
Now......The Great Taumeoba Escape. It's a lot like Pathfinder and the Dust Storm. It's just not all that relevant! SO MUCH is happening in the book at this point that -- I don't think -- they would be able to fit this in, even with a TV show with half a dozen hours to show the story in. I'd much rather lose this than lose backstory or silly goofy Rocky details.
The journey back, though, along with the breeding of Taumeoba was so boring it was cut out in the book. No way they'll have it in the movie. Probably even more will be cut out. Maybe one single Eureka! scene where Grace and Rocky drink vodka and wear crystals, respectively, but no more.
Now...The Great Taumeoba Escape 2: Radiation Exposure Boogaloo will NOT be cut out. Lest I stomp out of that movie theatre shouting insults at the directors etc. I kid, but not by a lot. They have to have this in order for Grace to turn around. I also bet they'll delay Grace learning he was a coward until here. It'd work so well there, yeah!? So he does his little thing, then turns around. From here, I think everything will be to-the-book. But let's talk about the ending.
Grace being a teacher is fundamental to the story. He can't not be, or the book/movie just won't work. Now, in The Martian (2015) they changed the ending. But that's not big, really. Mark becomes a recluse who gets looped back into being an astronaut training people who will then work on Artemis versus him being a teacher -- there's not that big of a plotline difference there. And we can pretend that in the interim he was a recluse. BUT IF THEY DON'T MAKE GRACE A TEACHER I SWEAR TO GOD--! calm. be calm. Anyways, him teaching again is a huge end for his character arc. And Rocky wil come in, no doubt, and tell Grace Earth's back to normal. Sending him back off to Earth just doesn't work, plot-wise or logic-wise.
Here's my last want: Earth. I want to see Earth back in shape. I want to see Stratt looking happy in her jail cell, etc.
Christ, I just wrote a lot. Um. I hope that answers your question...? And if it doesn't, feel free to ask me! I can -- and gladly will -- talk about this book all the livelong day!

I have a stinking feeling that the phm movie might change the ending to send ryland home instead of going to erid.
On the one hand, changing the entire ending is a pretty dramatic change for an adaptation to make. They made some changes for the Martian but they didn't send him to Venus.
On the other hand, the escaped taumoeba debacle would take up a lot of time that could be better allocated. The audiobook is 16 hours long, and while a lot of that can be cut down just by switching to a visual medium, they'll almost certainly cut a lot down so they can allocate more time to more visually dramatic scenes.
And Grace returning to Earth as a braver man, with a friendship he never had before and a determination to resolve things with Lokken is EXACTLY the kind of ending Hollywood would want. I just can't see them going in for Grace living out his days teaching middle school science to eridians.

I had a dream last night about the Project Hail Mary movie. I don't remember much of it, but I remember a bunch of scenes from before the Hail Mary launch, and they were BEAUTIFUL. For example:
Ryland: (looks up from his microbiology stuff) Wait a minute. Am I a guinea pig? (He puts his hand to his chest and gasps, offended) I'm a guinea pig!
Stratt: (yelling from the other side of a glass window) No, it's not like that!
A long, awkward silence passes. He glares at her.
Stratt: (yelling again) Okay, it's exactly like that!
And also Dr. Lokken and Grace sticking their tongues out at each other every time they're not looking. This happened in several scenes throughout the imaginary movie and nobody pointed out that they were both doing it.
I ALSO remember the scene where Grace wanted to watch Rocky eat, he literally pressed his face DIRECTLY against the xenonite to watch. And then slowly retracted it as he realized just how gross it was.
I'm so excited for this movie that it's infecting my dreams. Please help me.

very little needs to be done
to lure it to the surface
then it stays afloat
that which happened
that which I put away in my head
that which I don't want to know
the past
-
er hoeft maar weinig te gebeuren
om het te lokken naar de oppervlakte
dan komt het boven drijven
wat er is gebeurd
dat wat ik weg stop in mijn hoofd
wat ik zelf niet wil weten
het verleden

the project hail mary 🥺🥺🥺🥺 you have really good art on phm! IDK YOUR DR LOKKEN JUST LOOKS SO RIGHT
Tumblr media
Thank youuu! Dr. Lokken has always been one of my favorites.
I always imagined her as a somber, slender-faced woman with librarian glasses. I forgot if I imagined the black braided hair before or after I started drawing her. Either way, it’s one of her defining visuals whenever I draw her.
