this is so arranged married couple
someone once made a post about Stratt marrying Grace so he can’t testify against her in court and I keep thinking about it
it’s opened up a deep seated yearning for a post hail mary au where dubois and/or shapiro survive and strattland enters the messiest most toxic codependent marriage to ever grace the earth
What if Grace was the last person to hug her for the rest of her life?
It wasn't a heavy emotional moment, it wasn't "significant" in any recognisable way. They were together, talking, and maybe they got good news, maybe last preparations were successfully finished, and the launch is so, so close now.
Grace got excited as he always does and once the messenger left, he just turned to her with a huge smile on his face and saw her smiling back. So he hugged her, hard enough to lift her off the ground a little, and she let out a breathless laugh. Eva's surprised, and it took her a moment to react, but when she did, she hugged him back without hesitation.
Because no one was watching, there was no one she needs to be Stratt for, she could be Eva with him, she could be human. (They hug, she laughs, it makes him laugh, and maybe they both haven't slept in a day, and maybe they're both starved for touch. Maybe he quietly says you're amazing, maybe she takes the compliment without resistance, maybe she closes her eyes and clings to him just a little.)
Eventually, Grace set her down, thinking maybe he should apologize, but she was still smiling, all sparkling eyes and teeth, so he didn't.
It's how she tries to remember him, tries to remember herself — free of the weight of the world, for a single suspended moment, and happy.

grant chapman you will be missed dearly
It's always "hail Mary, full of Grace" and never "Eva, the first woman, whose sins cast humanity away from Eden (but humanity found it's place out there)".
Anyway, Eva Stratt, you did everything correctly, you made the wrong choice, humanity is alive because of your determination, the most woman ever. They coul never make me pin your morals down as 'good' or 'bad'.
Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.
Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.
And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
Okay, i have to put my views on why i think Andy Weir made Eva a woman and doesn't think there's any political message in that. I don't think he intended to BE political, and im not gonna talk about that part.
Eva's character is a perfect foil to Grace in every single way. And as a narrative technique it does really drive home Grace's character and growth. Im gonna start using examples under the cut so Spoilers for that

she was in an east german youth choir and she was a mezzo soprano and she loved to sing harmonies because they were challenging and integral and she learnt italian to better understand the notation and discovered she loved languages just as much as music and she hated glissandos and she tapped her toe inside her shoe to the beat and she liked to do her hair up for concerts and she taught herself not to react outwardly when the front row sang out of tune and she did crosswords during the break in rehearsal and the other kids in her section thought she was a bit uptight until they got a new conductor and she said deadly seriously that the way he moved his elbows made him look like a chicken and they all thought wait has she been funny this whole time
you have to read to your kids you have to read with your kids you have to read in front of your kids you have to take your kids to the library you have to talk about books with your kids you have to let your kids read books that are a little difficult or scary you have to teach your kids to love reading
where are my strattlings at. woman who takes care of everyone from afar. who always makes sure people's contributions get recognized. that people get little birthday celebrations. that there is real food on the vat and coffee preferences on the hail mary because people need little luxuries to live, not just survive, and she wants humanity to live, not just survive. she never looks for recognition for any of it, she is never vocal about it. she's just silently kind in a million small ways. and watches from the outside while everyone reaps the benefits of it
There is something that screams SO MARRIED when:
Grace is dragged up and down, east and west by Stratt and he's like "yeah, another tuesday"
How whenever she's about to do something questionable like kidnapping another scientist (Dr. Lokken) he's like "you'll get use to it."
How the movie pulls this but switched it, when Grace is firstly meets the crew and Yao says "he talks like a kid", and Stratt is like "you'll get use to it." Then followed by her telling him "you are doing great."
How once again when Stratt is about to do something questionable, like nuking the Antarctic and she says something like "I dont care about morality" and he's like "yeah, she doesn't".
And just the way they gravitated towards each other, she only smiles when he's with her, he goes to look for her whenever he feels uncomfortable in a room and after seeing people flirting. How they work together in separate stuff.
Ryland Grace literally said "I stand with my canceled wife".
‘once again i’m struck by melancholy. i want to spend the rest of my life studying eridian biology! but i have to save humanity first. stupid humanity. getting in the way of my hobbies’
i have actually never felt so seen in my life ryland grace the man that you are

hope you're wearing your best clothes
Something about how Eva Stratt is undoubtedly more selfless for acting immorally. In another world, where she chose to be more human but less efficient she would not have been able to save the world as she did. She sacrificed her need to see herself as a good person to ruthlessly do something that was ultimately very kind (to the world) but very cruel (to Grace).
Largely speaking, the human brain doesn't make moral decisions from a utilitarian perspective. Eva had to stare Grace in the face and make hundreds of calculations (How many people would this choice benefit? Did it outweigh what would be Grace's anguish? How likely was it that this would succeed? If it didn't succeed would that change the morally of it all? What if it did?) all while blocking out the actual human desire to keep someone she liked safe. Morality as we understand it is largely instinctual and she had to fight the empathetic instincts that drive our desire to be moral.
Eva's story is a very unique scenario in which she had to make a "selfish" decision without experiencing any of the benefits of being selfish, meaning her selfish decision wasn't selfish at all. But you can't quite call her self-less because the sacrifice wasn't herself but another person. First and foremost she put Grace through a lot of pain, but also herself, meaning she sacrificed two people (though I'm willing to bet many more before this).
