#Stratts

[blasher]

The order was well planned, everything is balanced as it should be.

kill me for this but i love dr stratt. like yes she's an horrible person in a lot of occasions so what. girl saw that the sun was fucking dying and that no one was going to fix it and said " fine. I'll do it myself". committed multiple crimes and the most unethical shit ever. girlboss.

project hail mary eva stratt brain rot is so real. like, at baikonur she checked he was ok before she checked the crew. he's the only one who can tell her to get off a power trip and she actually listens. “there’s more to him than that.” she discusses major decisions with him even though she’d already made up her mind because he gives her emotional security. he's her science lapdog. everyone thinks they’re fucking. “you are, somehow, special to ms. stratt.” she makes sure he’s in every major strategical meeting BEFORE she knows he's coma resistant, then lies to him about it when trying to gaslight gatekeep girlboss him into doing the right thing. she confesses her worst fears to him while he sits in the jail cell she put him in. she knew how he took his coffee and made sure it was programmed into the ship she sentenced him to death on.

Imagine you are a 13 year old over achieving shit head student and one day your favourite science teacher doesn't show up to class for a few days, and when next you see him he looks like he's aged 5 years and hasn't slept that entire time.

And then half way though class he looks sick and leaves and the next time you hear about him (a few years later), he's been sent to fucking SPACE to try and save the world

And you don't hear shit about him until you're in like. Your late 20s. You've long since forgotten about the whole thing except as a vague idea that exists in everyone's minds now as the world steadily gets worse. Everyone has resigned themselves to the fact that they probably won't live past 50.

And then one day, the beetles return and its all over the news that your dorky science teacher from Middle school has:

A) found something to eat the sun-eating algae ge that's been causing the apocalypse for about 17 years now

B) engineered it to survive on venus

C) discovered intelligent alien life

D) sent a TON of information including some of the language back

E) and could have made it home but decided to go BACK and sacrifice his life to save a WHOLE ALIEN PLANET WE DIDNT KNOW HAD LIFE ON UNTIL THIS WEEK

and you just have to go about your life with this knowledge. Your dorky middle school teacher is a world hero. He chose alien life over returning to earth and his own life. Aliens are real. What the fuck

listen if the project hail mary movie tries to make stratt softer or more maternal i am going to start chewing through the director's wires. her being an absolute frigid bitch is like the whole appeal of her character to me

Project Hail Mary spoilers

Okay I want to talk about how much I love the implication of plot twist.

Ryland's fears and stresses are never shamed in any scene other than Stratt's confrontation before she forces him on the mission, and that's so important, because all of his fears are so fucking human.

I wouldn't even consider him a coward, he's just a guy who was given five hours to decide if he wanted to die or not. And if you take into context his general bravery and determination throughout the his time on the Hail Mary, I wouldn't be surprised, if given more time, Ryland would have agreed to go.

But the fact that the plot twist is so late in the book made me feel so comforted by Ryland's general state of being. He get's stressed, excited, exhausted, conflicted. He considers giving up, he get's his ass up and keeps going, my man goes through every emotion under the sun. When the plot twist actually happens, you don't even care that he made a cowardly choice, because you know at his core he's a decent person.

Ryland Grace reminds you that it's okay to be scared, that it doesn't make you a bad person to sometimes do the cowardly thing.

This meme is so Stratt and Grace coded and you cannot show me otherwise.

stratt: dont care didnt ask

grace: uh ok bomb malta then

[mechieonu]

i just really love stratt & ryland's dynamic someone will say something offhand abt like the fastidiousness of astrophage to certain wavelengths and she drags him in by the tie to Explain

listen andy weir Excels in "nonthreatening white man protag ends up in a Space Survival Situation with some of the best and most well articulated hard-sci-fi on the market" plots (this is said affectionately) and he really has some misses in the "other rep" department but like. i can't even be mad. like the choices he makes for non-white and female characters can be Baffling but it never reads like it's some kind of Hidden Bias Thinking That The Other Is Evil it just genuinely feels earnest and i can respect that
