“Wish you weren’t so fucking awkward bud.”

My favorite thing about the Project hail mary fandom is that they just dgaf about shipping discourse. Other fandoms will legit send death threats over ship wars, but in project hail mary its:

EVA STRATT IS TRENDING!! HURRAY FOR OUR PROBLEMATIC QUEEN WHO DID NOTHING WRONG!!!

I like to think about that the bike Grace had, where (in the movie, I don't remember about the book), it never made it back to his home. Sitting there for days. Weeks. How long was it there before it was moved? How long did the students watch it as they passed, knowing their favourite teacher, their backup, maybe even their safe space, wasn't coming back. I like to think they left things there. An homage to him. First one student stuck a flower in the rusting metal spokes of the front wheel. Then another. Then one day Eva Stratt sees an old, weathered bike with flowers and gifts and cards and drawings made only by the hands of rushed teenagers. And that is the first time Eva Stratt truly breaks down.
