Stratt My Amazing Wife @strattland-mostlystratt-nonsense - Tumblr Blog

Project Hail Mary has kind of got me in my feelings because when I was a child I was OBSESSED with science and space

I spent all of my free time researching stars and plants and black holes and I was a part of the stem and robotics club and built and controlled an underwater robot that ended up winning second in state

I knew how to code and got all A’s in my science classes

But now I’m barely passing math and science and I make jokes about being dumb and how science isn’t for me and it kind of hurts to think about because science is all I used to be but until now I haven’t thought about the stars in years

I’m planning on becoming a high school English teacher but every now and then I think about how all I wanted to do was study black holes and be an astronaut and I’m filled with regret at what I chose not to do

Anywaysss guess who’s now actually applying to colleges for a biology major!!!

I’ve been reading a lot of bloodymary fics recently and something’s felt off about them but I couldn’t put my finger on it but I FINALLY realized what felt off

They rarely mention Eva and Ava and if they do it’s NEVER in a positive light

Every single Eva or Ava focused fic I’ve ever read has constantly mentioned Grace or Simon but the other way around it’s treated like they are irrelevant characters and if they are not it’s treated as if Eva and Ava are terrible horrible people that were only ever cruel to Grace and Simon

Out of all the fics I’ve read Eva has only been mentioned in a couple of them and it was either in Graces nightmares or him/Rocky like cursing her name I think I found exactly one where she’s isn’t treated as the devil itself

Ava has not been mentioned outside of singular sentences at the beginning of fics where Simon thinks Grace is part of the COI

Eva and Grace being extremely close to eachother for YEARS and Eva believing in him so deeply that she entrusts the fate of the world to him? Never talked about

Ava begging Simon to save their world and telling him desperately that she wishes she could give him his freedom? Never mentioned

Since ive realized I’ve dnf’d so many fics bc of this honestly

hypixeluhc

you'd think any fic where simon lives and ava dies would have simon be riddled with survivor's guilt after he literally just heard her be killed over the radio in an attempt to save him and recover the sm8's data. you'd really think that! you would really fucking think that would be brought up a lot! that she died trying to save him! you'd think so, huh!

SERIOUSLY THANK YOU OH MY GOD

Everything We Had by TAI is sooo Strattland coded

“People wouldn’t hate Eva Stratt if she was a man” Eva Stratt wouldn’t even be CLOSE to being the same character if she was a man bc misogyny is so closely tied with who she is

If she was a man she wouldn’t be seen as closed off, cold, and cruel in her decisions she wouldn’t only be seen as commanding and professional

She probably wouldn’t need to have Grace with her to humanize her because no one would doubt her humanity

Humanities degrees (which she has) are often considered less than since they are associated with women

Most male politicians can commit genocide without being questioned but she’s sentenced to life in prison for saving the human race

Her being an (extremely autistic coded) woman is so much of who her character is so if she was a man she wouldn’t even be half the character she is

Okay, yes, I do think that Stratt being a woman had something to do with her being chosen to lead the project, and therefore her becoming a scapegoat later. However, I think people forget that there’s an element to why she was chosen that is also super chilling.

Stratt is just not a likable person to those around her. In the book, they list her being blunt, having no sense of humor, and rigid morality as part of the reason they chose her in the first place, and in the film, she’s just so far on a different social wave length from the other characters that no one is able to really get into her headspace. Even if the person in question doesn’t know about her power and they things she did, she’s shown to just weird people out in general. To lead the project, they chose someone who is perceived as bitter and dry and cold to everyone because even when that person has the best of intentions, it is an easy person to hate.

I think that also adds another element to the karaoke scene, and to a lesser degree, the historical studies scene in the book. They’re moments where she has the option to express herself in a way that is distinctly her, and therefore, the characters have the uncomfortable realization that she does not want to be a dictator with a rotting moral compass.

(Yes I headcanon her as autistic, and yes I am studying The French Revolution. Why do you ask?)

strattland-mostlystratt-nonsense

This is one of the best takes of her I’ve seen ilysm

#eva stratt

Please I want to hear you talk about Eva Stratt I love her let us converse

Okay since u didn’t ask anything specific I’m lowkey just gonna yap abt my fav headcanons for her

SO I’m super into Nederpunk rn and since I love Eva and need to project on her and she’s Dutch i totally think she had a MASSIVE punk phase in college and one of her fav bands was The Nixe (aka peak music) I think if she was still into it she’d probably listen to CLITTEBAND

Also to me she’s so aroallo bisexual she doesn’t like relationships bc they r too messy and kind of gross to her (the idea of having to be that committed to a singular person for her entire life terrifies her for multiple reasons) but I think she’d like unattached sex w any gender but she prob prefers women

She def had smt going on w Grace tho I say biasedly

Also I like headcanoning her as some kind of trans but that’s just bc I’m trans and feel the need to, mostly trans fem bc I feel like her not being a woman takes away from her story but every now and then I entertain trans masc headcanons

She reads a lot of historical fiction solely to criticize anything the author got wrong

Expanding on the punk phase but her being the lead singer in a punk band while she was in college would be so fun (and also PEAK fanfic content right there, the crew finding out she was in a band (especially a punk band) would be so brilliant)

Hear me out: fanfiction idea (you can steal this i dont write fan fiction)

Friendship version of the ship Strattland where its an AU where they're both IB students trying to get into a good college. Only problem is Eva, the amazing disciplined student who never struggles in science, math, history, and English is suddenly failing chemistry. Turns out she sucks at chemistry. Turns out she actually really sucks at biology too and god damn it physics.

She looks over and sees Ryland: the kid currently failing history cause he sleeps in class and who is struggling in English absolutely crushing this class with ease. She thinks hes an idiot and questions how he's even in the IB program but decides to make him a deal. you teach me chemistry, I teach you history. She quickly realizes hes not dumb he's just a nervous tester, has dyslexia, and refuses to try if he thinks he will fail.

He quickly realizes she gets super stressed out and angry if she makes a single mistake or cant understand something, and throws herself into figuring it out to the point of exhaustion and burn out.

They both have to fix the other's problem and help them pass the other class. Over the course of them learning, they become friends and it ends with both of them graduating tied as Validictorian.

If I knew anything about wtf an IB program is or about any type of science I would IMMEDIATELY write this but alas

Chicago Is So Two Years Ago is so Strattland coded (and if I said Peterick is very Strattland would I get shot)

"sending people to their death" this "suicide mission" that EVERYONE IN PETROVA TASKFORCE WERE ALREADY ON A SUICIDE MISSION. the Stratt Vat was hundreds of miles away from any shoreline in case something went Terribly Wrong with Astrophage Experiments. every single member of the crew was there, sitting on a powder barrel with a fuse in one hand and a lighter in another and nothing more but blind trust in themselves and each others to not let flames touch wooden walls. one picogram off the charts, one nanosecond off calculations, – and all hope of humanity would've perished at sea, disintegrated without even a trail of smoke. invisible scythe of the reaper was near their necks at all times. grabs you by your shoulders shakes you violently do you see the vision

strattland-mostlystratt-nonsense

But like unironically YES like Grace you cannot be mad u got signed up for a suicide mission bc u don’t like the suicide part when u alr willingly joined something you knew could be a suicide mission like Eva literally told u upfront the reason ur on a boat is so that if it explodes it only takes u guys and not like a whole country

redstonedust

sometimes you have to sit down and decide "do i think this was a bad narrative choice or is this just the part of my brain that wants to see all my favorite characters end the story perfectly happy and thriving." and its surprisingly hard to tell sometimes because that part of my brain is loud as fucccckkkk.

strattland-mostlystratt-nonsense

Me after arguing with myself in discord for like 30 minutes about Eva Stratt’s ending (like I knowww narratively she had to go to prison afterwards otherwise her being Graces narrative foil doesn’t work but I can still be upset abt it)

#eva stratt
