One thing that's so underrated about PHM is Eva Stratt's appearance. She doesn't have the lipstick, sleek bun, pencil skirt (or even pantsuit), and heels look that is so often the uniform of female characters in similar roles. She doesn't wear makeup (as much as any other actor). She wears her hair down or in the simplest ten-second buns. She wears softs, easy to move in clothes that are weather appropriate. Why would she spend extra time making her physical body less efficient?

And it's still feminine!!! It's not like crazy feminine or sexualized but it very clearly has feminine influences. I love her so much and there's so many little details and it does feel like so well thought out and she's so complex and just gah. I love her

[evstratt]

cause here's the thing, even if movie!stratt didn't exist you couldn't pay me to hate book!stratt. maybe andy weir wrote her to be this cold, heartless character but still you can't make me hate her. she was a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders and the leader to a seemingly impossible mission so i genuinely do not care if she's mean. in fact i hope she gets meaner and more ruthless. did you guys know she carried a taser with her.

"Stratt didn't care about Grace, she only kept him around because he was the tertiary science officer!"

[hailingonhismarytilimfullofgrace]

"Eva Stratt they could never make me form a solid opinion about you" Skill issue! She's never done anything wrong in her life she's perfect

Grace is Feral (affectinate) and you can't change my mind. Simon is going through the horrors and just wants one (1) chill day.

okay, so apparently I find ace4ace Strattland also extremely compelling?

[chaosqueen1015]

I love projecting on Grace about random things. Like yes he wears his glasses like that because he technically doesn't need them but his vision is just crap enough that if he doesn't wear them semi regularly he gets massive headaches and yes of course the only reason I headcanon this is because this is my relationship with my glasses

I need to rant about Stratt for a sec (movie Stratt though most of this can apply to book Stratt as well). I haven't seen much of it but I've seen enough to need to rant about it: please stop calling Stratt a morally gray villain. She's not a villain. Morally gray sure but it's a very light shade of gray. I'd argue she's actually a morally gray hero. Honestly, I do think it boils down to misogyny. I've seen people defend Luke (pjo), Loki (pre Ragnarok), Thanos, Anakin, and so many other male villains by calling them "misunderstood" or "heros" when they're all villians. Some are more justified in their villany than others (Luke had noble reasons to be pissed but was willing to destroy the entire world in the process) but some didn't (Thanos wasn't justified and I stand on this and anyone seriously defending Anakin needs to touch grass) and yet these same people call a woman who is willing to do anything to defend humanity a villain. I don't care if you slap morally gray on that label, she's not a villain. Everything she did was out of a love for humanity and a desire to keep humanity alive. She was given an impossible decision and chose the option that saved the most lives. And it broke her. She hated doing it but she knew it was the only way. And she was right. Stop calling her a villain. She saved all of humanity.

Do you have Top and Bottom headcanons for BloodyMary ship?

(Me personally I see them as switches. With Simon being a shy top and a pillow prince bottom. Ryland being a clumsy top and a LOUD bottom.)

they are both sideways looking at each other eyes and cuddling because I'm a grACE Stan

If a charecter has canonically gone to college but which college isn't specified, I just assume they go to my college. It's like so unbelievably entertaining imagining them dealing with my professors and niche traditions and stuff

“people shouldn’t have to accept the bare minimum-” I agree with that too but we’re at a point where we have to cling to the bare minimum or that will be taken away too

[thetetra]

reminds me of when I was on a date with a girl and the police were breaking up a homeless encampment. She said "They found people who had nothing... then they took that too"

all oppression is basically the same.

[chaosqueen1015]

We're at the point where if we don't accept a mild headache, we'll be ripped apart limb by limb. Of course a headache isn't ideal but as of now it's the only option that doesn't result in death. When we can treat it without worrying about certain death, then yeah, fix the damn headache but right now we can't risk it.

some iterations of fanon!grace are rlly interesting to me bc people occasionally characterize him as meek and shy (which valid, i'm a firm believer in people doing what they want with canon), but I want to present a different take

as someone who's mom is also a middle school teacher, i can't help but draw links between her behavior and grace's. my mom came across as intense and intimidating to a lot of my friends growing up bc she developed a "teacher voice" (loud, project-y, in a way where she could be heard across a room without yelling), and her parenting often sounded like typical teacher lecturing bc of the tone she subconsciously switched to. she could switch between socially awkward around new people to commanding whenever she was presented with an environment that had people look to her for guidance without realizing it. she developed this intense, outgoing persona for teaching bc that's one of the few proven ways to get kids engaged with what she was saying.

idk, i feel like grace carries a lot of this intensity with him. he was literally exiled from academia for insulting the LEAD SCIENTIST IN THE FIELD publicly, and continued to stubbornly defend his thesis despite literally everyone telling him to shut up. like yeah he's a coward, he's socially awkward and self-deprecating, but i wouldn't say he's meek and shy. he speaks his mind no matter what, he pulls out his teacher voice when lecturing rocky the first time the latter came on the hail mary with his ball, and he often plays up the drama in interactions the same way my mom does to keep stuff interesting. in the book, it's also made more clear how much people in stratt's vat literally saw him as second in command due to how much he got shit done, i.e. he's rlly good at naturally assuming command in situations where people look to him for help (even if he doesn't realize it).

like i said, no hate to people who characterize him differently. i just wanted to present my own take on his character, as i find the teacher aspect rlly cool (probably my own bias, love u mom <3) and wanted to expand on how it could affect every other aspect of his character. curious to see what other people think!

[chaosqueen1015]

He's actually like so unhinged and bold sometimes guys and I love that
