"Bear is the villain, okay. There's some, like, grabby headlines out there where it's like "Michael Johnston doesn't agree that Bear's the villain." And I'm, like, NO WAY! Hold on a second, Bear is the vil-lain. He made his choice. Maybe he didn't know [the wish] would work but the choices he made after that, he clearly shows that he was incapable of thinking about anyone other than himself." — Michael Johnston (Bear) talking about Bear's character on The Brandon Davis Show!

“sometimes what people want, isn’t right for them”

always makes me think that daisy had come to the realization that her and lincoln wouldn’t have worked out in the long run.

the reason she holds on to him for so long, is because of the sacrifice he made and because of the time they had together. if he had lived, i don’t see them staying together. 🤷‍♀️

[strangelygleeful]

Totally! I think they would have ended on good terms but their values/priorities conflicted in a lot of ways, so I think they would have ended up on their own paths (and maybe teaming up on occasion if there was a specific need). She loved him and what he represented during a difficult time in her life, but he wasn't what she needed, and I don't think she was what he needed either. A lot of baggage on both sides and he just wasn't the right person to help her carry hers.

I think the line also touches on the fact that in the Framework she doesn't have powers, which suggests going through Terragenesis (and Trip dying in the process 😞) was her "regret". And it's no coincidence that in order to get out of the Framework and save everyone, she needs her powers back, both to escape the cell and to get through the portal. That's who she is and ultimately who she chooses to be even if it comes with pain and regret and fear. She may not always want it or what comes with it, but deep down she knows it's what she needs to be her true self.

(Which is part of why I found the S5 resolution of her being forced to get her powers back against her will super unsatisfying. After all the struggles she had with feeling like she was a liability or doomed to destroy everything that got close to her, I wish it had ended with her taking that leap on her own because she remembered the good of her powers outweighed her fears of the destruction it could cause.)

I also love that May was the one who restored her powers in the Framework even if she didn't remember Daisy at that point. Reminds me of them hiding in the Shield cell when Daisy first reveals her powers and can't stop the shaking, and May telling her "you can do this, we can do this". ❤️

The Other Bennet Sister ~ Text Posts [19/?] Tom Hayward Chronological Edition

[cowardsexual]

the eva stratt in my mind is a conglomeration of movie stratt and book stratt because god fucking bless sandra huller put her entire pussy into that performance, but while weir is bad at character writing (women especially) he IS disconcertingly good at coming up with plots that generate interesting character concepts through circumstances... which due to story cuts the movie sadly missed out on.

it's really interesting looking back at both iterations of the story and how stratt and grace's rapport hinges on unrequitedness. there's obviously the karaoke scene in the movie acting as grace's bid for human connection vs stratt's necessary refusal in order to do her job. the book rarely if ever interrogates stratt's interpersonal relationships in the project and how her sense of duty and utilitarianism extends to them (well, aside from grace. more on that in a sec). She's a History major and an administrator and She Loves Humanity, but it's a characteristic that when analyzed deeper rings pretty hollow (possibly because the author thinks social analysis/critique in science fiction is stupid and thus doesn't exactly have much to say about People like someone in the humanities would. SAD!) so that's an addition to her character from the movie that i'm deeply pleased about. what i don't like as much is that the bid for connection starts from grace.

because book stratt and grace? the one sidedness of their rapport is the driving emotional conflict of the entire pre-launch plotline—and of grace's character development throughout the whole book.

like most scientists on the team, grace was brought onto the project by force, but he's the only one who fulfilled his purpose, was allowed to return to his own life, and then came back of his own volition, out of a sense of personal duty and responsibility. which is the reason stratt takes him back on! and why she begins to rely on him more and more, as an administrator, as a mediator, as a scientist, as an advisor. she has all the more reason to do that when she discovers he's coma resistant, but she was already doing all that baby!

grace spends the rest of their relationship half-assing that sense of responsibility. one thing i adore about book phm is how merciless it is with grace's "modesty" "insecurity" and "social anxiety". children are easy to dote on. they're not stupid, obviously, but on an interpersonal level they're not your equal, they have no way to actually demand accountability from you and call your ass out. he doesn't actually think he's a failure, he's not blind he should know damn well he's not like the other scientists. "science lapdog", "ooo i'm just a little guy cmonnnn i'm just a middle school teacher", he downplays his own importance because if he genuinely grappled with the level of responsibility she holds him to towards the people in the project he'd run like a fucking dog.

he is a good man AND he is a coward. stratt's relationship with him verges on the tension between those coexisting truths. he is both someone she wants to respect but can't, someone she can rely on but has to act behind his back least he realizes. she WANTS them to be equals, she WANTS him to understand. on the day the hail mary is scheduled for launch she paces HIS prison cell like SHE'S the caged animal, trying to get through to the glimpse of the man she saw that day, the one who barged into an FBI guarded facility, looked atlas in the eye and told her scoot over, i'm carrying this with you. please understand why i'm doing this to you. please understand why i need you to be that fundamentally good man. i am tied to the tracks right next to you. and as far as she is concerned, ryland grace dies on earth saying "no".
