ryland grace’s last time on earth (the last time eva stratt will ever see him)

#Do what must be done || Eva Stratt #This is me believing in you || Ryland Grace

“i don’t concern myself with morality or ethics” bullshit eva. i’m calling bullshit.

in some ways, yes, you can’t question the morals and ethics of the decisions you have to make to save the world. i argue that’s part of your morals— its the trolley problem, you’re saving the world despite whatever is on the other side. but that’s not what i’m talking about here.

why is that YOU were chosen to lead the project? you, eva stratt. the only reason you’ve explicitly given is that you are a woman / a whipping boy / sacrificial goat. it’s implied that you are able to navigate the trolley problem as mentioned above.

but that means NOTHING to me. there must have been other people who would do that if tasked. so, why EVA.

i argue that she had excellent morals and ethics. she could have been a professor, even. she knew what was right and wrong on a larger scale, and valued human life above power, profit, or other valuable things. the people who put her in charge or recommended her for the job could trust her to do the right things.

there may have been many times where killing someone would have been easier. justified even, bc it would save the world. and a lesser person would have chosen that route. they would have hurt others indiscriminately to achieve the goal of saving the planet.

and eva did hurt others, yes. she famously hurt grace. but she had to be deliberate about it. she had to question it, and she gave grace the chance to do it willingly. she tried to do it without hurting grace.

but again… she didnt do worse. she could have. she had the power. she had the resources. and yet, this woman decided to show up to court for fucking piracy charges. yes, she blew them off and walked out, but she took time out of her busy, critical schedule to show her face, speak directly to those concerned, and go about her business. she didn’t have to do that. she could have sent anyone else. but she values humans enough that she found it valuable to show up.

there was a reason that, out of everyone who could have chosen the same answers for the trolley problem, Eva Stratt was the one chosen to carry the burden.

Muse talks about the Mun!

⏳ How much time does the mun spend on your blog?

"More than they probably should," she says with a self-assured smile. "They're usually here for at least an hour. Sometimes more, depending on the day."

🍨 What is the mun’s favorite ice cream flavour?

She takes a few moments to gather her thoughts before she speaks, choosing her words carefully. "They don't have a favorite. Technically. They often talk about 'coffee ice cream in a pouch', but it's not easy to find. Vanilla or cookies and cream are the more accessible options. Give them that, and they'll be fine."

#From the Direct Line: Asks #realmyths #(((((((( OOC: 4th wall breaking asks are always fun. Thanks for that. Didn't realize how much she'd judge my ice cream choices. lol )))))))

@realmyths continued from here

While nothing seemed to jump out at her when she read the file initially, when she gave it over to Dr. Grace, she was expecting him to have a similar reaction. He didn't. Stratt tamped down her feelings of initial defensiveness when she observed Dr. Ryland Grace's deep frown. He had apparently seen something she didn't.

Stratt knew if she insisted, she could easily force things to be done her way. But if she did that, she would be no different than an authoritarian autocrat. She knew well that it didn't matter if such power was invested in her for good reasons - a dictator's a dictator. As the one to make the final decisions on behalf of humanity, then she needed to be clear-eyed about everything. The risks, the rewards, and the casualties. If they were she was taking on unnecessary risks or losing needless lives, she needed to know. Even more so now with an immovable deadline.

He had her full attention now. Her eyes narrow onto his, a challenge and an invitation for him to continue his thoughts. "Continue your thoughts, Dr. Grace. What did you notice?"

The 'yes or no' game.

Send my muse "❓+" alongside harsh hitting questions, scenarios, anything question-related really, but they can only answer with "yes" or "no". Nothing more, nothing less.

// So I'll put a few things under the cut, since I've got a bit on my mind.

I've been thinking about Book!Eva and Movie!Eva a ton lately. While my portrayal is highly based on Movie!Eva, once I get my hands on the book and can thoroughly look at it, I wouldn't be opposed to attempting to write a more Book!centric Eva, though it'd likely be a separate verse sort of thing and I'd probably need a heads-up.

I'll consider if I should make this an official headcanon thing, but I like how Eva functions and changes in relation to Ryland. It's why I ask whether a portrayal is more based on the book or the movie. Eva changes slightly based on which version of Ryland is being pulled from. This is especially true when it comes to leadership style. I'll need to check with the book itself once I read more of it and analyze it a bit, but Book!Eva is what Book!Ryland needs and vice versa. Same thing for Movie!Eva and Movie!Ryland. While I can talk more about their movie counterparts, I keep in mind what Sandra has said about Ryan as an acting partner, since that colors their character interactions, I feel.

I try to balance how often I reblog memes with replies, but maybe it's a little too spread out? I'll need to think on that.

Maybe I'll do a promo reblog spree later on this week as well? hm.

#Onto a Post-it: OOC #(((((((( OOC: Last note before bed - 🎂. :) Movie later maybe too. Gonna reblog a thing or two in case people want to ask hard q's. ))))))))

@amischiefofmuses another perspective and continuation from here

If the clock on Eva Stratt's computer was accurate, it had taken a total of fifteen minutes for Dr. Grace to notice what she had seen immediately. As she tried to read through reports, Dr. Grace's attempt to fix the coffee mistake caught her attention instead. He didn't own up to the mistake, he didn't say anything to her, and instead tried to slowly push what was his coffee towards her.

And then the coffee tipped and spilled.

Immediately after, he left the conference room they were working in to get paper towels before she can even get in a word in. Her eyes follow him as he leaves.

Once the door closes behind him, her initial amusement turns wistful. This ordinary moment felt unusual. She can't remember the last time she dealt with a trivial and low-stakes matter like this.

Spilled coffee. A simple problem with an easy solution.

No waiting for results. No life or death decisions to make. No weighty decisions about prolonging humanity's existence.

She moves the chairs they were working on away from the mess on the floor and the edge of the table. Once Dr. Grace came back, he would have easy access to wipe things down.

Then, she moves their laptops away from the mess, and sets them in front of two clean chairs that were away from the spill, and right next to each other.

Her eyes flickered over to her laptop's clock. Half an hour to the meeting. She sips the rest of her first coffee, her neutral expression returning. She sits quietly at her laptop, reviewing the notes and reports for the upcoming meeting they have.

Once Dr. Grace gets back, she'll leave to get her second cup. She would rather not lock him out of the room, considering the sensitive nature of the documents they were looking at.

Based on his demeanor and his answers, it was obvious he wasn't going to answer. That's fine. She'll get an answer somehow. She looks him dead in the eye, undeterred.

"Alright. Where can I find him?"

Short, simple, and to the point.

Eva. I love you so much

She hears the remark, but doesn't stop walking. She refuses to acknowledge the sentence. In her eyes, the remark is unsolicited and unwarranted - she doesn't even know this person.

She continues on, unbothered. If the person was hoping to get a rise out of her, they're out of luck.

She has places to be and an Earth to save.

#From the Direct Line: Asks #(((((((( OOC: I went with the first thing that came to mind - as a casual remark akin to a catcall. She's not happy about that. ))))))))

@laikalike continued from here

While the temperature outside is cooler than usual, she seems more covered up than usual. Her black turtleneck is pulled up a bit higher, covering more of her neck. She's wearing another long coat over her turtleneck sweater.

But underneath her black hat, there was an addition to her attire today. On her face was a black surgical mask.

Despite his questions, she doesn't answer him. It's not that she won't. It's that she can't. She tried this morning, but her voice gave out near the meeting's ending. She was able to smoothly end the meeting, but she knew she needed to make it work something for the next one.

She takes a seat in the center of the room, pulling out the laptop, and some annotated papers from her bag, and gestures to Dr. Grace to sit down next to her.

There's a piece of paper in her hand that she offers up to him. It's a short hastily scrawled message on a post-it note.

I need you to look over these notes, and help me run the meeting.

She knows what she's asking of him here, but she has no choice. Due to the subject matter of the meeting: Project Hail Mary, she would've taken him with her anyway, regular research duty or not.
