Words: 1,390, Chapters: 1/1, Eva Stratt & Ryland Grace

Dr. Herrick is chatting up Grace in the corner. Or at least, he’s trying to. Grace is mostly avoiding eye contact, glancing across the room every few seconds towards particularly lively conversations, or looking down at his pack of sour skittles. Usually, Stratt doesn’t spend much time down here in the bar with the rest of the crew—she’s busy, and she doesn’t particularly wish to soften her reputation. But she has mindless emails to answer tonight, and anyway, she’s been wanting to see how Grace interacts with the others. She’s been curious. ~~~ Stratt witnesses one of her crew corner Grace in a dark hallway. She intervenes.

#on the topic of my last post everyone is obligated to read this urghhhhh #weird intense stratt & grace feelings it's so good #amazing stupendous i gnaw on this like a juicy steak #my strange woman hashtag my woman of all time #op ms vee if i may you must know this goes so hard #phm #phm fic

Anyways if I don't get it out soon this pent up energy will transform me into a beast as I lose all articulation. I've been plagued by swirling thoughts of "lapdog" themed platonic strattland. Stratt and Grace getting a bit weird that last month before launch and Grace starts showing up at her room or office in the wee hours of night. Neither of them are getting any sleep, but Grace slinks down like a sad puppy resting his head in her lap as she sends off more emails throughout the night. Sometimes they both fall asleep like that and it's never discussed in the morning. Stratt never allows herself to show any weakness for distraction but it's different if he's the one seeking her out, isn't it? If it's an indulgence for her brilliant yet strange, cowardly science officer? She can never reach out but she can entertain his idiosyncrasies for the sake of the mission. More emphasis on the weird fucked up third thing co-workers of their relationship do you see my vision.

#i need to draw it so baaaaaaaad man #maybe i have time later this evening that is the hope i can't handle thinking about them more #what if stratt let the dynamic get even weirder you know #allowing these brief moments of small physical reassurance but only just #i like thinking about stratt lonely i dont think we talk enough about how lonely she must be within the confines of her mind #and the parameters of the mission taking priority over her own humanity in more ways than one #if i were a fic writer man #maybe she gets a little possesive about grace seeking her out this way too idk you can't tell me shes got entirely healthy coping strategie #shout out to someponegranatetea's fic sour skittle ritual it awakened something it would seem #phm #jobble bobbles #eva stratt #stratt hashtag my stratt

All I have wanted for days now is to draw more PHM (and specifically stratt) art but MAN has work been the worst. Save me from my tasks I need that woman on my canvas STAT.

watched lars and the real girl, and I love that movie so much. Did not expect to cry all through it

#ok last one before bed #my very good friend lars my good pal lars #captured the sweetie pie smile very nicely #beautifully done op #lars and the real girl #latrg

okay still thinking about it so one more thing about lars and the real girl (aimless asexual-tinged ramblings below the cut:)

bianca exists as a delusion for a variety of reasons- chief amongst them to fulfill lars's need for control and a social outlet for companionship within the bounds of his comfort levels during a period of his life that is bringing up all his worst memories and fears back to the surface. she's a tool and balm against his vulnerabilities. she is also, as the film emphasizes consistently: a sex doll. An actual object, also arguably, made to fulfill a need for control and (overtly sexual) desire for companionship. Questions about their theoretical sexual relationship are never entertained by Lars, and he's made visibly uncomfortable in other scenes including talk of porn or sex. And never once is it suggested seriously that Lars and Bianca have had a sexual angle to their relationship.

At every turn, Bianca (though yes a delusion) is humanized by him and the people around him. Bianca has preferences and desires that don't always align with his own, has a life and job and friends outside of Lars. There's a comfort in that- so often in stories depicting men and their artificial female companions, it is to emphasize the lead males isolation and depravity by stooping to the level of projecting his sexual or social desires onto an object- sometimes with a misogynistic or violent turn, not having to worry about the consequences of bad behavior against a feminine object without autonomy to be judged for. following a pattern of objectification and sexualization as dehumanization.

But for Lars, Bianca is a person and that person is someone he adores. Each and every moment of her by his side is characterized by joyful and loving glances, listening in to her unheard conversations and opinions. For Lars, his idealized companion isn't a doll without autonomy or personality that couldn't come into tension with his own, because that kinda goes against the entire point of Bianca? She is a construction safe for him to interact with on his own terms, yes, but still a person with a history and life to her all the same, and his direct means of connecting with his community. And the fact that that idealized companion is first and foremost a friend over anything else? One that he feels no need to perform for, or pantomime expectations of traditional social norms for? One that his community and peers also come to care for with all of her own idiosyncrasies mirroring his own? It gets to me. A lesser film would have zeroed in on the comedy of 'guy who brings his sex doll with him everywhere' point and laugh style, but this was never a movie about that, and any emotional core the film would attempt at would fall flat without treating Bianca and Lars's relationship with the respect and empathy it deserves.

(i hope none of this comes across as a dis against sex and human sexuality as, like, general concepts. But a guy who's ideal relationship doesn't include a smidge of sex to it depicted with compassion in a narrative can be something very personal for a given viewer i.e. me <3)

DON'T talk to me. i'm living in lars and the real girl bowling scene.

#eyyy i can reblog this now #don't mind me <3 #lars and the real girl

finished watching lars and the real girl. and. i would like to sit comfortably in silence in the same room as lars lindstrom to let him know he is loved and appreciated please and thank you.

#something about early to mid 2000s films about small town communities coming together to support each other on a personal scale #i wasn't expecting such an unironic and respectful and caring depiction of mental illness from this film #thank you nancy oliver and craig gillespie perhaps i must seek out more of your works also #at so many points i braced for some character or another to bully or be rude and dismissive outright #but no they didn't because he's just a guy going through it and they're just people trying to reach out and make a connection same as him #one of my favorite moments was when lars seeks out margo after her teddy bear was hung #and he gently takes the noose off and gives it cpr and puppets it back to life while she vents #acknowledging it's importance and her projection of the issue by anthropomorphizing #because that is how he self-soothes and processes his emotions as well #idk people love him and he loves them and the movie is about bridging that gap and learning how to read the other #and that's a theme that's always gonna get to me #and it's not like there wasn't any tension in the film but that tension never stemmed from cruelty #just the struggle to cope and communicate and support someone through a crisis people didn't understand #but still tried all the same because people are good #they're good and kind and good #god #there's also something there about both margo and the other office guy i forget his name #that have dolls and action figures that are important to them something traditionally deemed childish #and bianca and lars asking his brother what makes a man a man #something to ponder and get back to later #good movie good movie #lars and the real girl #jobble bobbles #ryan gosling #latrg

loving the accidental typecast as a-spec autistic sweethearts that this man has seemingly been subjected to over the decades. We are three for three from my personal exposure to gosling films thusfar.

#i caved im watching lars and the real girl #what the heck man #if this movie has a sad ending i swear #jobble bobbles #lars and the real girl #ryan gosling
