The Director Of Cybersecurity From The Electronic Freedom Foundation Is Offering To Help Women Who Have

oh the quick changing of zach in the liveshows is both adorable and really really talented! everyone in the liveshows is doing such a good job, vocally and physically. i can't help staring at all of them in awe (and also like... kinda sorta acting, performing crushing? at them) and seeing them add their faces and bodies into the mix.

shoutout to that person in the comments who pointed out zach's smile when hera is introduced. i look for that everytime, i look for zach everytime. i look for lovelace staring down eiffel and the fear in his eyes. i get to see a physical version of minkowski's dissappointment. i get to see... cutter.

the AMA (after countless searching spirals) have been such a treat in an information way. like the fondness and the openess of their creative process really adds to how the story feels. also non-canon silly goofy topics! and new facts that... may or may not contribute to things already rattling around in my brain :))) because okokok, learning that dylan marron was considered for cutter is... such a mental image that i choose to think about daily

i think this is both a question and an excuse to talk about the live show. things that you love about the live show? or also the AMAs?

(i've been putting the amas on whilst spring cleaning and it just makes me kick my feet like a schoolgirl)

wolf 359 live show, my most dearly beloved... what don't i love about it? (... aside from how beige it is and how tricky that makes it to color, maybe.) ... like. ough. the way eiffel is the only one who looks over / crosses the stage over to hera. the music cues!! scotty sitting in the audience the whole time, and how completely the tone shifts when cutter shows up. how much everyone's expressions and mannerisms embody the characters, and how that physicality carries over to how i see them in the rest of the show. it's impossible for me not to see most of them as versions of their voice actors. it's funny, it's tense, it has so many really good character moments. it's such a perfect encapsulation of all the best things about wolf 359, now with different layers of nuance and physical comedy. it understands the medium it's in and the tools it has available as well as it does in audio format, and the fact the show in general is written and performed with so much thought towards physicality certainly doesn't hurt.

and also i love eiffel. i love zach's exaggerated body language and expressions as eiffel. never fails to cheer me up.

^ just look at this guy.

as for the AMAs, i love hearing them talk about the characters so much. like, with the understanding that it can't be taken as direct, literal canon when it's outside of the show, i still think it helps you understand a lot about how they see the characters, and so. how the characters were written. knowing they had detailed character bibles full of stuff that never directly made it into the show is like... maybe it's not 'canon', but it's in the performance, it's in the writing, it informs who they are. it's a similar thing.

and also, again, i love eiffel. and i love to hear them say completely useless things about eiffel that couldn't possibly be interesting to 90% of people. like zach saying his favorite ice cream would be cotton candy dippin dots (disgusting sweet tooth on that man.) or gabriel listing pink floyd, led zeppelin, and the rolling stones as examples of eiffel's music taste (bargain rack band tee music taste; he is soo normal. i want him carnally.) eiffel really likes bowling. "what brand of cigarettes does eiffel smoke?" / "cheap." eiffel's ideal valentine's day is netflix and chill. "what's eiffel's favorite book?" / "... eiffel reads?" (gabriel's actual suggestions were 'something unpretentious, like a pulpy 80s action movie of a book. or splinter of the mind's eye.') ... etc. etc. you understand.

also the AMAs are great for that one time gabriel said "eiffel's doing hera" and immediately regretted his choice of phrasing so so much.

every time you see a headline like this

I want you to remember these ones

My hometown flooded Monday night.

Vermont has flooded.

My family and home are fine because the 7.8 inches of rain that fell in a day didn’t cause our house to slide of the ridge it sits on, but less than a thousand feet away roads have been washed out and homes are being condemned. Yesterday, our congressional delegation, the governor, and a FEMA representative, toured the town - focusing on the non-profit cat cafe turned hazardous waste site thanks to a basement full of red diesel fuel and the neighborhood that includes a ten story, low income, senior and disabled apartment building where the blacktop of the road lifted and peeled away in huge sheets. There is still only one route out of town to the interstate due to landslides and flooding. In every direction I can point to there are towns going through similar things. Our capitol, Montpelier, flooded causing most of the state government to shut down and move essential operations to a nearby airport. Many farms were in the path of flood waters and lost most of their crops. Vermont has the second largest population of unhoused people per capita, second to California, with many of them camping in the woods along our rivers. They have lost everything.

In short, we need help.

I gathered some resources if you need an updated news source or are able to donate.

It’s raining again.

doug eiffel is the only wolf 359 character who has unambiguously canonically fucked and the only major character who talks about sex and romance. he has a kid, making him the show's only true dilf, but more importantly, his kid was unplanned. eiffel fucks raw.

I have never met a mechanisms fan who is normal about them and I think that says a lot about us.

Vocal warmups.

Anyway, I'd like to remind everyone that genocide is still being committed in Gaza, not just with guns and bombs but with disease and starvation.
