this chapter has been so absolutely nuts that I actually low-key forgot that I had a couple of new UM posters to do! wild! anyway, I gotta think about Lilia's some more, so here is my beautiful electric crocodile son in the meantime. god I hope this reads properly
(I went with Volt to go with his name, but there's a Bolt version too in the print-size folder!)

so. i was thinking. in generation loss, why was charlie given the moniker “The Villain”?
because ranboo and sneeg’s titles make sense: Ranboo “The Hero” was showfall’s hero, no problems there, and Sneeg “The Taken” was taken prisoner in the first episode, taken captive when he tried to escape the carousel in the episode two, and was taken for granted had his life taken permanently (maybe) in the finale.
however, Slimecicle “The Villain” feels like it only really applies to the first episode, with him playing the antagonist to the hero in the form of the slime demon. in the second and third episode, he didn’t really play a villain, just mega chet and then himself.
unless, of course, charlie slimecicle was labeled the villain because he was the one that got the hero killed in the end.
be it intentionally or not, at the start of the trail of dominoes that leads to ranboo being crucified, sits charlie. in a mockery of his streaming set up, oblivious to his surroundings, unaware of the horrors around him until our dear hero saved him. an act of kindness that gave the employees the time they needed to lock the doors and seal the exits. had ranboo not stopped for charlie, they would’ve made it out and been free, they would’ve lived.
instead, our hero wanted to save their friend and in turn they were strung up and slaughtered for their good deed.
and what kind of good person would lead their friend to getting killed? who would let such a cruel fate befall his own brother? no, that’s something only a villain would do

favorite episode? favorite Doug Eiffel(TM) moment?
oh, tough questions! hm. i always listen to wolf 359 in order, so at this point i don't tend to think about individual episodes so much as like... i know what happens in each episode, but it's all part of the show, and i love the entire show most of all. if that makes sense. that said, memoria is very close to my heart, and had a real, material impact on my life, so that has to be one of them. it's also very impressive in what it accomplishes from a technical standpoint; mayday and the watchtower would be near the top of my list for that reason, too. but also because they're episodes that are almost entirely eiffel's voice. quiet, please is genius; intentionally limiting the audio portion of your audio drama only displays all the best things about wolf 359's clarity of sound design, and its ability to communicate visuals and a tangible sense of place. it's like gabriel urbina's response to the btvs episode hush, which i know he's said he's fond of. and bach to the future is my comfort episode for when i don't want to listen to anything else; that one always makes me feel better.
my favorite Doug Eiffel Moment... even more impossible to say. i find him enchanting. i can get fixated on the most insignificant eiffel lines and moments. my favorite eiffel moment is whatever i'm currently listening to. ... but i think one of the most eiffel moments is probably the part at the start of desperate times where he talks minkowski down and defuses the tension by "relieving her of command" - and everyone starts laughing together. it's such a perfect distillation of who he is. he thinks on his feet, he stands up to authority, he's the guy who's always got another idea, and he's quick to make himself the butt of the joke. it's funny. it's heartwarming. it's so... eiffel.
