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.'

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

Strattland’s weird third thing when Eva gets legally married to Ryland on paper so he can’t be used in court against her after the Hail Mary launch. Enter Grace not knowing because he just signs whatever Stratt brings him because he’s too tired to read anything and he trusts her.

Because of the snoozefest that was the Wagner, we were apprehensive about Eugene Onegin, but it was a fun time and only scene 2 of Act One felt too long. Melodrama was realistic (trust me, makes sense).

For the fanfic ask: for your fic tears: how do you imagine the reunion between Aegnor and Andreth in the afterlife? Which Valar does Andreth enjoy debating with the most?

The headcanon answer for Tears, and the reason why I haven't really written it, is that Andreth returned to Arda is a human who has spent eons in Catholic Heaven (Look, I'm actually an atheist who was raised atheist, so for me the joy of the Athrabeth was that this very Catholic author with a fantasy world that had an afterlife also didn't rule out that after death is just nothing, cessation). So her spirit reentering Arda? No longer mortal and human, really, but something more like an Ainur themselves, which works because Service to the Dead is now also in Tears canon, so Aegnor has been working basically as a Maia of Mandos for Ages now. Aegnor's family face disappointment when they realize that Andreth returning to Aegnor doesn't make him less fae and finally willing to get reembodied the normal way and rejoin Valinorean Eldar society. They visit, but they don't integrate back in.

Andreth enjoys debating with Manwë the most- philosophical, moral, legal topics and a very respectful and gentle guy. Most common is with Mandos, because husband's boss. At first she works with Vairë, because history, and Nienna, but I think she will eventually branch out to another Ainur because she has the chance to learn about something new that she never had the opportunity to in Dorthonion.

Reblog if you're okay with receiving asks for backstory info on any/all of your fics.

If not all, specify which ones in the tags.

Stratt being a history major is sooo important to me because it explains so much about her. Shes not going to let herself think about what it means to force ryland onto the hail mary because she needs to look at the bigger picture or else she wont be able to save earth and shes good at that. She knows how the governments of the world will react because shes seen how governments have reacted. She knows what the history books will say about her and she has made her peace with it but she will do everything in her power to make sure that there are people to write those history books for.

[heavenofourmisery]

humanities major stratt is so important to me. choir kid stratt is so important to me. i'm always thinking about that scene from the first draft of the script where grace is complaining about all the creature comforts that he misses while working on the aircraft carrier and she just tells him, 'you're talking about life. what do you think we're working to save?'

i love the idea of a stratt who is a student of literature and art and music. she is intimately acquainted with all of the reasons life is beautiful and precious and by god she will do anything to save it, even if it means sacrificing those beautiful and precious things for herself.

Most devastating PMH spoiler concept from a fanfic I'm reading: when Earth gets the messages from the Beetles with all the info and Grace's messages, they get the final message that he's able to come home, he's on his way, they don't know that the Taumebia escaped and Rocky was stranded and Grace returned for him. Stratt and everyone back on earth with that wild hope for at least a few months or years that Grace is alive and coming home and can be apologized to and honored. Then the dawning realization that he died in space. And Rocky too, Earth's new hero. Fearful that the Eridians saved Earth but could not save themselves. They have to mourn him all over again. Then Erid brightens again. Then finally, through probes and messages, they learn the truth.

i've now seen multiple interviews where Ryan Gosling is asked who/what he would take with him if he went to space and he answers "i wouldn't go to space. i like earth." which is a very reasonable opinion but also a hilariously appropriate one for the actor playing Ryland "went to space very much against his will" Grace

Eva and Grace’s dynamic is so important to me. They’re in love platonically. Like, that’s not a common dynamic. She put the way he likes his coffee into the ship’s computer. He follows her around like a puppy. In the book, she cracks jokes with him and him only. She cares about his opinion. He was the only one she asked about the coma gene, wondering if it was worth it.

He’s her best friend, and she doesn’t even know it. They’re so close, that in the book, people think they’re sleeping together, and poor Grace is so confused because he thought that was his platonic work wife, wdym people think we’re sleeping together, that’s my person that I crack jokes with and then she glares at me because they’re not funny.

She’s softer with him than anybody else and is only ever vulnerable around him. We see in the movie, he’s the only one who ever gets her to smile, and sometimes even laugh, and then she serenades all of them, but mainly him, and he stares at her with those big, shiny eyes so lovingly, and she points at him when she sings, “everything’s gonna be alright”, and then she gives him those eyes, so loving.

And then she’s trying to stop herself from crying when she’s sending him away because, against her will, he’s become her person, and somewhere along the way, she’s become his, and they will have forever ended this relationship on bad terms, and nothing can fix that.

It’s a platonic tragedy. It’s a platonic love story. This is something we don’t get often, or, like, ever, and it’s deep and it’s tragic and it’s sad.

But even after, Eva’s still taking care of him. Packing clothes she knew would bring him comfort. Programming the ship to know how he likes his coffee. And Grace is still watching out for her, speaking to her directly in his video logs, with that same lopsided smile he used to throw her way.

He uses Rocky’s sign for goodbye, and she uses it back, and how did this book and movie give us such a deep platonic friendship because, guys, this NEVER HAPPENS.

Eva and Grace, the platonic male/female friendship of all time.
