I think it's a tragedy PHM movie Stratt lovers don't know the sheer chaotic force she is in the book. Home girl said "so global warming huh?" And then nuked the arctic

"we need more complex female characters" you guys couldn't even handle-

actually you handled Eva stratt really well. nice job. I'm proud of you

AO3 Writer Affirmations:

I do not have to reinvent the wheel every time I write fanfiction

It is okay if some things don't make sense

I can write whatever I want

I am writing this shit for free

If people don't like my stuff, they can block me. If they're being mean about it, I can block them.

Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun

I do not have to appeal to people

This shit is fun

I am doing this all for free, and anyone who objects can go eat wet sand and worms from the sidewalk

[lockandkeyhyena]

actually we should start headcanoning female characters as being terrible with children

[lockandkeyhyena]

stop mother-ifying fictional literally all female characters. that fictional woman would not know what the fuck to do with a child

Ooo, but now that I'm thinking of it. Do you think Book Stratt's fury at Grace's refusal is actually her fury that she's not qualified to go on the mission?

"Do you think I don't know you? You're a coward and you always have been. You abandoned a promising career because people didn't like a paper you wrote. You retreat to the safety of children who worship you for being the cool teacher. You don't have a romantic partner in your life because that would mean you might have to suffer heartbreak. You avoid risk like the plague."

Grace prefers teaching. Grace loves his students. Grace has always embraced those around him and has been openly vulnerable when something awful happens to them. His refusal to go is the very first real instance in which he avoids the risk (dying).

Stratt was a history major; how the hell did she get to this position without abandoning that? Stratt surrounds herself with subordinates that do whatever she wishes, ie worships her. Stratt doesn't seem to have any relationship either and refuses to give herself even a moment to mourn Dubois and Shapiro. Every choice that Stratt has made for this mission was specifically about avoiding risk... And Stratt immediately volunteered to be tested for the coma resistant gene.

What better way to cap off all the sins she's had to commit for this project than sacrificing herself in a suicide mission?

Fav PHM scene?

Oh hello! I'm giving you two because you did not specify book or movie.

Book: The courtroom scene. It will literally never not be funny that Andy Weir just straight up left out Grace's internal narration and also Stratt in that scene is just so her. I love it. I love every second of it. I actually have the audio of only that scene isolated out of even my Stratt cut of the audiobook.

Movie: The karaoke scene. Oh are we seeing a theme here? I love how Sandra Hüller plays Stratt in this entire sequence (from the deck to the party). She's so soft but her lines and delivery in my opinion mesh so well with how she's portrayed from Grace's perspective in the book. (I know it's a different take, but I stand by it. Also I did the audiobook, which I think really makes a difference as to how warm/cold she comes off.) I have never heard the original version of "Sign of the Times" and I do not care to, Sandra Hüller absolutely killed it and I haven't been the same since.

My favorite scene from the book isn't in the movie and my favorite scene from the movie isn't in the book. RIP.

Honorable Mention to the scene in the book which in my copy is tabbed and labeled "Second In Command". Everyone thinking Stratt & Grace are sleeping together and then asking him about it is honestly such a funny and lowkey fan fiction concept. I love that scene too so I have to mention it.
