I WAITED ALL THIS TIME FOR CUTTER’S TRAGIC BACKSTORY AND IT’S THAT HE GOT HIS TELESCOPE STOLEN AS A TEENAGER AND DECLARED REVENGE?

Oh, well then, forget Hilbert’s family dying of radiation, Jacobi’s guilt over his failures, and Maxwell’s alienation from her family, THIS was the sad villain backstory the show was building up to. And Cutter is so serious about it too, y’all I can’t. 🤣

(Or my reaction to Wolf359’s Special Episode: Volte Face)

Hi Dear Readers. Gonna be doing some work during this one, but I hope you like the reaction regardless because I've put off enough, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Here we go!

Tagging the mutuals who got me invested in this, and if you want to be tagged or untagged from these posts, lmk, or you can follow my blog or simply follow the tag "#bods wolf359 reactions". Anyone who has followed me for a while knows my updates are inconsistent, so I apologize in advance for that and for any spelling/grammar mistakes in my posts.

Special Episode: Volte Face

Huh. A few years before the start of the show. This should be interesting.

Oh ew Rachel.

Wait is this her origin story?

Enlil (yes I looked up the spelling this time, yes I was careful, and yes I did this after the reaction) is so cheery. Like Cutter if he was actually nice.

Wait. Why are they calling her “Miss. Nash”?

Oh. They tried to kill her at the hotel. And she seems to know they’d try to do this, is totally okay with it, and willingly getting on a plan with them? Okay?

Don’t like this David Clark fellow.

Nash is not nice Enlil. She’s not nice at all.

Does Cutter kill or hire all the reporters that come to his door? If so, I hope Minkowski’s husband is okay.

The safety video is on mute? That’s symbolic.

The AI is the only character I like.

Andrea Nash? Am I hearing this wrong, I swear that’s Rachel Young.

So Enlil got the job Hera wanted. Flying a fancy jet all day. Hera did say that’s what happens when you’re happy and do as you’re told.

Huh. Did not expect Cutter to be a Harry Potter fan.

Ew not Cutter doing the “welcome to Wolf359” I hate it.

Was Goddard the OG Marcus? Wright-Goddard? Interesting… let’s see… 40s, 50s, 60s… AI.

Renamed in 1974… so that’s significant. Also when Cutter says “things no monkey could do” why do I think he means humans?

1976. So that’s when he took control.

People? I don’t like the sound of that.

Change the world for the better? …no. I respectfully disagree.

Oh she’s not asking about certain things. Restraining bolt?

“where were we” “how you were gonna change the world for the better” 🤣 yeah. Right after he removes everyone’s free will, sure.

Are all these people that are being listed Cutter? That’s a lot of new people.

Right they all disappeared.

Do the names of the stars have a similar pattern that the fake names have?

What does she mean by “I have EVERYTHING”? What is everything? Like… everything everything?

Oh they got that restraining bolt.

David. I think Cutter might decide to give you the restraining bolt instead.

“The same reason you don’t hold this job for more than a decade” DANG!

Matthew Newman?

Oh that’s him isn’t it? The real him?

IS THAT A GUN?

This escalated so quick.

Oh she got him. And Cutter took this so personally.

Come on Cutter. Drop the backstory. Oh Andrea Nash isn’t her name either.

Yep. Matthew Newman. Here he is.

Ah. A little high school student poking his nose where it didn’t belong. Oh so Cutter has been infatuated with aliens since he was a boy.

Wait. That’s it? The government took his telescope when he was 15 and he declared revenge? That’s his sad backstory? That’s the best he could do?

Oh and then he got fired when someone had to take the fall at the company. That too. But he still said he declared revenge when he was in high school? This is ridiculous. And further proof that science nerds who are also over dramatic theater kids cannot be trusted (expect for me because I’m special 🥰).

Oh so when Matthew left he gave the restructure order. I see… but then how did he get the new bodies?

He found Miranda Pryce. But how did she have the tech?

Maybe he used plastic surgery the first time around.

Oh. He was Miranda’s first test subject. And she wanted to manipulate the human body probably because of her blindness.

“Revenge is fun” “you can just steal one” “space exploration is only part of the bigger picture: progress. I want a better future” put those three statements together and tell me if you sound like a good guy, Cutter.

I see. So rather than stop him, Nash wants in so that she can have a hand in it. She’s just as gross as he is.

“No” *cuts to Andrea as Rachel head of special projects*

Cutter has seen Monsters Inc?

“More productive use” “Volte Face” okay this is the part where you should have brought a gun… oh the wave radiation. Good thing she’s knows that. I guess that’s enough to give Cutter the job. Rough day for you David.

Oh she has to reinvent herself. Rachel. Yep. So this is how she got here. I don’t like her. She knows what Cutter’s about, and her response is she wants in? Absolute worst.

“Goodbye Miss. Nash”

Well that was sort of a dark ending. You either willingly give up your humanity to join Pryce and Cutter or they take it. One way or another.

Anyway, now we know more about Rachel and Cutter. Gotta say, his sad backstory is funnier and lamer than I could have ever imagined. I was, bear minimum, expecting something like the board members who pushed him out of the company were close personal friends, or maybe his parents yelled at him and forced him to give up his space dreams or even a line about the kids at school laughing at him for being a high schooler who believed in aliens. But nope. He stumbled upon something, got his telescope stolen by the government and was like “you know what? I’m gonna spend the rest of my life and several more lifetimes getting revenge for this specifically.” The people who took the dang telescope aren’t even alive anymore! Look, I get they also ransacked his house and yelled at him, which is a lot for a teenager, but to respond by declaring revenge then and there and plotting world domination, I just…

I mean, I guess the moral of the story is don’t inconvenience a young science genius if they’re also a dramatic theater kid. Because they will immediately jump to world domination and change their name as part of that process and befriend(?) an evil woman who gives them next level tech. It’s happened too many times in too many of my fandoms (well two so far, show Curtain and Cutter. At least show Curtain’s sad thing was that his family left him. Still not an excuse considering his brother was also a kid at the time, but it’s better than a telescope).

I can see why you all hyped this up. It’s hilarious, but also shows how being affiliated with Cutter makes people slowly lose their humanity (again, one way or another) despite Cutter calling himself a “people person”.

Also if Rachel knows about the modified bodies, does that mean she has one? Or maybe she’s not old enough yet.

On a more serious note: Rachel’s character makes me sad. She could use her powers for good and expose so many bad people. And it sounds like she did for a while. But then she decided to sell out. Disappointing. What a waste. And since Rachel and Andrea were both fake names… we might never learn who she really is. Or maybe that doesn’t matter, since that person, who ever she was, no longer exists. Again, Cutter and Pryce do specialize in taking away other people’s humanity.

Well. Only 2 hours left. Not tonight, but later. When I have time to really sit and give a good listen. We’re in the endgame now dear readers. I hope y’all are ready!

Major spoilers for Wolf 359 and TMA

Just finished Wolf 359 not long ago, and the way Cutter was just Jonah Magnus-ing his way through things!

Not the twist I was initially expecting, which is what makes it a twist, but that was a funny little thing he pulled.

#yeah i know that wolf 359 finished before tma #but i listened to tma first so that's what i thought of #amari's arbitrary articulations #wolf 359 #tma #marcus cutter #matthew newman #william carter #jonah magnus #elias bouchard

Matthew Roydon wants to know what his dead (but alive and well) father-in-law from the 21st century whom he's just met in the streets of 1591 London is up to. 🤯

I need a lie down, not least coz that gaze...

I also had to laugh at Matthew sulking in a corner in this scene 🤣 The cranky pants are having an outing again.

[ID: A photo of Marisha and Taliesin posing with Jenny Newman and Manzi DeYoung. Taliesin, Manzi and Jenny are all wearing pastels while Marisha stands out a bit in brighter colors and black. Marisha is wearing a knee-length dress with a black bodice and a blue and pink floral skirt, with an enormous floppy hat, black with white edging on the rim. Taliesin is in a pastel seersucker three-piece suit and straw fedora, and he looks incredible, like OP is floored. Manzi is wearing a lavender pleated dress and Jenny is in a pale blue floral tiered skirt with the front rucked up and a bralette top. They’re posed together outdoors, looking into the distance. /end ID]

[ID: The same lineup as the above photo, but now they’re all looking in a different direction than before. This photo is slightly less filtered but they still look incredible. /end ID]

[ID: A photo of Matt with Erika Ishii, and Matt and Marisha’s red and white pembroke corgi Omar. Matt is wearing a short-sleeved button-down printed with floral imagery and busts of women wearing big hats, and khaki pants. Erika is wearing a two-piece swimsuit. The bottom is dark blue with light blue crescent moons and suns. The top is obscured by Omar, being held in her arms. She’s cradling Omar like a baby with his tummy up, but Omar is currently mid-squirm with his head twisted back to look over his shoulder in a position that does not look comfortable at all. Matt and Erika are leaning against each other affectionately. /end ID]

[ID: A photo of Omar, Matt and Marisha’s red and white pembroke corgi. He’s standing in the tiled floor and wearing a novelty harness with a small doll dressed in a jockey uniform affixed to it, positioned like he’s riding Omar. Omar is looking up into the camera neutrally. /end ID]

[ID: A video taken by Whitney Moore in Matt and Marisha’s living room of a large gathering of people all watching the Kentucky Derby. Many people from the studio are present, including Liam, Dani, Rachel Romero and Eddie Lopez, as well as several friends of the cast. They’re all chanting “Horse! Horse! Horse!” in unison. A horse, according to OP’s understanding, did indeed win the race. /end ID]

Today marks 25 years since the attack that ended Matthew Shepard’s life.

Imagining the events of that evening was the hardest part of illustrating Always Matt but I hope these pages can help others to revisit and reflect on this tragedy with a new sense of clarity and purpose.

okay but like. Does the timeline for Cutter makes no sense or am I being terrible at math?

#if Matthew Newman was a highschool boy in the late 40s then he would’ve been born in the early 30s #which would make him late 30s early 40s #when he’s forced out of the company and Arthur Keller shows up in the 70s he wasn’t even 60 yet #how can he be such a terribly old man when Miranda first meets him #listening to wolf 359

Today’s the day!! Always Matt: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard is now available wherever fine books are sold!

This project began for me back in November 2021 and it’s absolutely surreal to know that the book will be finding its way into to readers’ hands today. It’s an honor to help tell this story.

An enormous THANK YOU to author Lesléa Newman for breathing life into this project, to Jason Collins for sharing his story, and to all the folks at Abrams Books — editor Howard Reeves, assistant editor Sara Sproull, and designer Josh Johnson for bringing me onto this project and offering guidance from rough sketches to printed pages. And endless thanks to Dennis and Judy Shepard and the Matthew Shepard Foundation for all that they’ve done in Matt’s memory.
