W359 - Tumblr Posts

So uuuuh this is NOT FINISHED. Also it was sketched out like two years ago when I first listened to Wolf 359. I recently started relistening and I remembered I started this again. It has haunted me that I never got it done bc I was really excited about it. It was the companion piece for the version I did of Eiffel. So anyways I'm posting the rough Work in Progress sketches for posterity. Feels like a waste to just let it rot hidden deep in my hard drive and at this point... yeah I don't think its gonna happen I'm sorry haha. Not unless I suddenly get a lot of free time (not likely unless I win the lottery).

I DID IT GUYS !!!! I DID IT

TECHNICALLY it is still the ten year anniversary of wolf 359 if you live somewhere that’s NOT EST (which is not me but shhhhh)

ANYWAY !!! You guys remember when I was all like “darn I wish wolf 359 was a visual media so I could make that edit thats trending!” I did it. I cosplayed all eight characters involved in the mutiny, and I made it a visual media, and I EDITED IT MOTHERFUCKERS :D

I’ll reblog this with a much sappier caption in a minute I just so wanna be technically on time because this took a WEEK—

I’m so god damn happy to be done with this before I go to bed that I’m not even gonna think about the fear of posting my face here lmao g’night dear listeners and what have you <3

Okay I hate to say it, but WHY did they send in Eiffel and Minkowski to do the super important mission where the only requirement is that they make no sound at all??? They are perhaps, of the whole cast, the two characters that are least likely to NOT yap for any given period when together.

THIS

Minkowski's entire arc is about structure. Her rigid adherence to protocol is what gets the crew into as many messes as it gets them out of! She's comfortable with what she knows and relies heavily on environments where everything is as good as scripted.

When thinking about autistic Minkowski, I do also love that the conclusion of her story isn't abandoning structure; it's using it. She figures out how to take all of this rigid framework and use it as a tool to get her people home safe. Even more than that, she learns to communicate, even when it means admitting she doesn't understand, because she's found people who won't shame her for not catching a pop culture reference. I love. The her

i have so many feelings about autistic minkowski

no one will ever understand the complicated relationship between a minkowski girl and the mere existence of the dssppm. for the record.

"why did they pronounce Hera wrong, it's so weird"

It's Almost Like That's The Point

It's almost like Hera was given immense power and responsibility and then was subjugated and disrespected. It's almost like she's constantly called by a name— Unit 214— that isn't her. She's the most powerful person on board, and she has to fight to make that matter.

Hera was named after a goddess. That name is pronounced wrong. I think that's poignant and beautiful actually

You know your felon ex-boyfriend we sent to space and then told u died? Well he’s alive and he’s back but he’s got no memories now. It’s a long story, there were aliens and he was used as a medical experiment. No neither of those things have to do with why he has no memories. He wants to meet his daughter though. So. Sorry.

in the spaced ship strait up "whipping it out." and by "it," haha, well. let's justr say. my hydrochloric acid

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, WOLF 359!

Here's the Season 4 poster to celebrate!

To the cast and crew (if they somehow happen to see this) (I doubt any of them are on Tumblr so I'll just ramble to the void):

This show honestly changed my life. I know it's cliché, but it really helped me out of a low point in my life . It also helped me as a writer — watching the AMAs to hear what the writers said and studying the scripts improved my skills exponentially. Furthermore, the plot, the voice talent, the sound design and the soundtrack are all crafted amazingly — you can really tell the show is brimming with passion! It's really a love letter to sci-fi fans too.. gosh, I could honestly talk about why I love this show for hours, but I'll keep it short. Essentially, if you see this, thank you for creating something so wonderful. Thank you for inspiring so many people. Thank you for creating such a great story.

To everyone else (I know it'll mostly be fans seeing this, but just in case one of my followers hasn't listened):

If you haven't listened to Wolf 359, I highly recommend it. 10/10 show. And it's definitely a good starting point in terms of fiction podcasts; since it's so cinematic, you can visualise everything you hear very easily, making it great to listen to! Also, for a show that's 10 years old, it aged really well. Many shows like that fall to the issue of having outdated jokes and references, but Wolf 359 is a truly timeless one.

in honor of wolf359’s 10 year anniversary here is some of my favorite pieces

This is genuinely my excuse for my Maxwell design having glasses even though she canonically doesn't need them—

I think Maxwell would have been prescribed blue light glasses cause her job has her spend 8+ hours in front of a screen. She wears them for a week and they've been sitting on her desk collecting dust for years

why yes, I have been spending WAY too much of my time drawing zero-G gags because hey, it's an audio medium- I have to imagine the shenanigans they can get up too with no gravity myself. 90% is Minkowski throwing Eiffel cause I think she deserves it 😌

Wolf 359 characters + soundtrack titles

my comms are open!

Also what happens to Eiffel is so similar to what happens to Fisher. Hilbert's Decima patient is outside the station when an unexpected (or at least mistimed) event knocks him off structure, and the commander goes to rescue him. Except Minkowski makes it back with Eiffel in tow, and all Lovelace gets for her efforts is a broken arm. In season 2 when Hera rips into her, she says their crew did what Lovelace's couldn't. Does Lovelace know about this little misadventure? What is it like to see this man who got spaced like Fisher, who got sick like Lambert and Hui, and who keeps coming back? Why does he of all people get to survive when hers didn't? Why did Minkowski get to win?

There was less than an hour between these three separate posts from three separate people crossing my dash. Are y'all okay?

Media literacy and smooshing my little guys together like non-canon compliant barbies should not be mutually exclusive

decima virus is a beautiful name for a baby girl 💕

I've finished up with Wolf 359! What a wild ride! However, y'all know what time it is because this is the majority of my blog. I feel like Cutter is an Avatar of *something* but I'm not sure what. So, Tumblr consultation it is.
