Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

I could use some luck

listen. eva stratt’s biggest mistake and greatest (emotional) downfall absolutely WAS keeping a junior high school teacher nearby. not as a tertiary science officer— that was a reason, in the back of her mind, but she also Needed Him.

it’s not as clear in the movie, but eva stratt does not seem to be a scientist. at least not at the level as the others on PHM. in the book, she seems to purposefully bring grace along to various meetings because she needs his input and his translation. there are several times that a scientist will propose a solution to her, and she turns to her snarky teacher friend second in command and asks his opinion. he’s there because he is incredibly smart and, if needed, can explain things to her so she can understand. before grace? i bet she was largely doing this alone. i’m sure others would explain things to her if she asked, but it comes so naturally to grace. it’s his fucking job. it’s his second language, AND he doesn’t think less of her for it. he knows what she’s capable of, and thinks she’s still right for the job, even if the science of it all is over her head

i’m sure that it started out early, when they were still learning what astrophage was. grace was a leading mind in it, and was needed. but then she brought him along to help translate other things for her. and then because she trusted his judgement. and then because, deep down, he was her friend.

she needed the junior high school teacher around. not a tertiary science officer.

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

[huewrite]

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

another phm book thing it would've been so funny to see in the film is stratt trying to brute-force her way into a new zealand max-security prison and getting pissed that she has to have a pat-down first bc that's slowing down her world-saving mission, making grace have a very teachery moment of "uh uh! you can't always use 'i'm saving the world' as an excuse to be a jerk!" to which functional world dictator stratt actually admits "yeah ok you might have a point" (and then recruits an embezzler convicted of manslaughter to pave the sahara desert into an astrophage breeder farm bc this book is fucking wild) i can't stress enough that NOBODY is doing it like these two. dynamic of all time

[rovenderkitting]

I took this screenshot bc of Rocky swearing but him pointing out at the end of the book that Ryland Grace hasn’t cried in a long time is honestly making me emotional.

Don’t get me wrong, I love that Grace is a weepy guy, I think it’s an essential part of his character. And he’s humble about his new situation like “it’s not perfect but I’ve got my friends and my meburgers and I get to teach again.” But dang this just goes to show how happy and calm and safe life on Erid is for him. Because Tears Georg, who cried 10,000 tears every day aboard the Hail Mary hasn’t cried in a “long-ass time” according to his closest friend. 🥹

hilarious how grace is wandering around that aircraft carrier thinking i'm just a guy. meanwhile his security clearance is technically on the same level as the actual eva stratt herself

[manyblinkinglights]

#phm#in the book he's like#'my office is technically a storage closet. they're gonna kick me out of here when we resupply. i'm about as important as toilet paper.'#man you live on a boat. how many other people on the boat have an office at all.#you're the guy who looks at the paperwork and signs shit that's not worth bothering stratt over#which you can choose to interpret as either not very important or VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.#you're the guy who says 'yeah i think this plan is scientifically feasible'#to which stratt says 'okay my pet scientist says it'll work‚ let's go ahead and pave the sahara.'

[moredifferentthanusual]

Some guy: "i have a crazy plan"

Stratt: "hmm what do you think dr grace?"

Grace: wow what a crazy plan that would take an absurd amount of power to accomplish and have far-reaching impacts "yeah it's feasible, i'd go with it"

Stratt: "alright, you heard him, do it"

Grace: waow she has so much power to just decide that. that's wild. glad i don't decisions. i wonder why she keeps bringing me to these

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

[soft-butch-cassidy]

everyone yelling "hide the yaoi" about fictional character shipping as if mark hasn't been put through the youtuber rpf trenches for years. he didn't survive septiplier only to be shocked by bloodymary

[edgebug]

it means so much to me that rocky's lead puppeteer james ortiz got to voice him and got like. full billing right next to ryan gosling in the opening credits. and he's gotten to do interviews and red carpet appearances and talk about puppetry and it's all being taken so seriously just like he's any other type of actor. gonna make me cry fr. like they could have gotten some famous person to be rocky's voice to try and pull more star power but. they went with the guy who acted him. and like of course they did. like there he is. how could they do anything else. he's right there and he's perfect

[atomikats]

my personal take on the matter

[lazymik0r]

I almost laughed my ass off when this part came up but couldn't cuz I was socialising and my family would think I'm weird (I am)

[clowndraws]

mimicry

[nocek]

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)

[verenakauer]

"Why did Stratt pick a school teacher" — because my guy can frankenstein Venus out of plywood, some duct tape and a dream. "I'm not qualified" — buddy, you have scientific background and the resourcefulness of someone who is used to having zero budget. I love this specific part of the plot that is "let's take the guy who can problem-solve things with zero money and give him unlimited budget and see what happens".
