Seeking Roleplay Participants!

Do you love Wolf359? Do you love writing about it? Do you want to meet others in the same boat/spaceship as you? Then this is the place for you!

I'm looking to form a long-form, literate Discord roleplay for Wolf359. There's no set plot yet, but it is most likely to be postcanon. We will discuss once the group is formed.

Now, you might be wondering what a long-form, literate Discord roleplay even is. Let me break it down (cue funky beat)

Long-Form - The roleplay is expected to take place over a long period of time, with a consistent plot that carries over multiple scenes.

Literate - Roleplay posts are expected to have proper grammar and be of a reasonable length (minimum 100 words)

Discord - Discord is a messaging app that lets you create servers to talk to your friends!

Interested? Send me a PM with the following information:

- What character you're interested in playing

- A past sample of your writing (needn't be Wolf359 related)

And that's it! I'm looking forward to meeting you :3

Welcome to, Introducing My Mother to Wolf359

Episode 54: The Watchtower

“What happened last time?”

“Oh yeah he’s going towards the star!”

“How much time does he have left?”

“Isn’t it getting hot?”

“Now was he going head first or feet first? I kept picturing it both ways”

“Oh no not again”

“Oh Eiffel.”

“Oh!”

“You’ve seen it though, Eiffel!”

“Who else you gonna walk to Doug Eiffel? How will we know what’s gonna happen? This is an audio medium.”

“Deja vu.”

“Oh! I wouldn’t ask for that.”

“Woah.”

“Here’s the probing”

“Ooh like Hera”

“Music! Wow”

“Nice”

“And then he woke up!”

“Oh no.”

“Dang it!”

“I knew they were coming!”

“But why’s the Commander acting like that?!”

Lines she laughed at

“Minkow- Minkowski’s red line.”

“And then he woke up?”

“Can’t have a creepy ass hotel room at the end of the universe without a mirror!”

“I don’t think it’s had it’s intergalactic release date yet.”

“Note to self: earthquake insurance, never leave home without it.”

“This “high school” sounds like a wise being.”

“Okay. I’m gonna need a moment.”

“It has also led to some debates on whether you can speak English”

“Can we?”

“That is the basic concept.”

“Don’t suppose you could matter me up a paper bag to breathe into”

“Into different atoms.”

“And then he woke up.”

Still love that Hilbert met William Carter and knows that sometimes Cutter completely changes his name and appearance and may be functionally immortal and even once he's fully committed to helping the crew against Goddard he never brings it up. That's none of his business.

#given his research interest I feel like he must have pressed for details #and once he learned it wasn't related to biological healing/regeneration he lost interest #and thus forgot to mention it bc he's so focused on what he cares about #also hey he changes his name all the time might as well extend the courtesy #' i have never mentioned any of your family members officer eiffel. extend me the same courtesy' #king of staying in his lane but also poisoning everyone outside his lane #he will respect your pronouns while strapping you to a table to experiment on you #wolf 359

something really gets to me about eiffel and hera talking to themselves while addressing each other - in am i alone now? and the watchtower in particular. i can't say this to you, but you're still the person i want to tell it to. i know there's no way you can hear me, but if you can...

eiffel talks to himself a lot, and he is very used to being alone with no one paying much attention to the things he says, so i'm not sure he ever realized exactly how much until he was on the hephaestus. in the early days of the mission, i imagine hera responded to a lot of eiffel's asides and sort of embarrassed them both. and then that sort of... shifted. their relationship shifted, they got comfortable being around each other, and eiffel's conversations with himself started including hera, too. i like the idea of that as an establishing moment: that, at some point, there was a first time eiffel said something in an empty room, and hera was so used to him talking to himself that she didn't realize it was meant for her, and he asked her, "hera? are you there?"

i imagine hera still talked to eiffel, too, when they all thought he was dead. with each day increasingly longer and more difficult, that she would vent her frustrations to the empty comms room the same way he would've encouraged her to when he was there. she can't talk to anyone the way she can talk to him, and they just... keep talking to each other, even when they can't. they are so much a part of each other, the voice of encouragement and comfort in each other's heads. for so long, all they can really do for each other is talk, and they maintain that connection even in absence. they ask each other "are you there?" like reaching for each other's hands in the dark.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #hera wolf 359 #eiffera #was talking about the middle part of this with beth hephaestuscrew earlier and she got the gears in my head turning #this kind of feels like multiple posts mashed together but i just. mm. #the importance of communication in all wolf 359 relationships but especially between eiffel and hera because it's so much of what #tethers hera to everyone and everything else. that even if she's annoyed sometimes by eiffel asking if she's there. it's also #a comfort in a way that he wants that affirmation. he's reaching out to her in the best way he knows how. and she does it too #i said some version of the last line of this in the tags of another post once but i think about it. i think about it. #there's something about how. hm. #eiffel drives conversations in the show. he's the communications officer. he gets people talking #and hera is the type of person who. goes quiet more often who shuts down and internalizes #that she's as much defined by the things she doesn't say. #and then. that some part of their relationship then ends up defined by things that couldn't be said #'hera i ---' but also that she calls him doug when she's 'talking' to him #but never directly never actually to him #i know not everyone will agree with me on this but i sincerely do think eiffel/hera is a canon romance it's just. an incomplete one #and something about that compels me very much.

[hephaestuscrew]

I posted recently about how, when Minkowski tries to send Eiffel back to Earth on the Sol in the finale, she doesn't directly express her more personal emotional reasons for this decision (see this post for more detail). But the contrast to that is how Eiffel only gives personal reasons when pleading against her decision.

As he's desperately telling Minkowski not to send him back, Eiffel doesn't say that he wants to help fight against Cutter's plan (although I'm sure it's on his mind). He doesn't try to convince her that he can make an important contribution to that fight. He doesn't attempt to argue the importance of having as many people as possible trying to stop Pryce and Cutter.

Instead, he protests "Not without you!" when she says that he's going home. He tells her "I'm not leaving you behind!" In contrast to Minkowski saying that she wants "one of us... someone" to make it back, Eiffel doesn't shy away from addressing Minkowski directly. He says "you". It's not that he doesn't want to leave the Hephaestus or the crew behind in a vague general way; he makes it clear that he doesn't want to specifically leave Minkowski behind. His attempts to persuade Minkowski not to send him back are largely focused on his bond with her and his unwillingness to return to Earth without her (and the rest of the Hephaestus crew). Those are the most compelling reasons to him.

The only other argument he gives in trying to persuade Minkowski not to send him back is "you can't - you have no right!" This is less about his bond with Minkowski, and more about his own individual agency and his objection to Minkowski making this decision for him. But it's still ultimately a personal reason. None of Eiffel's voiced objections are about the big picture at all (unlike the explanation Minkowski gives to Hera, Lovelace and Jacobi afterwards for why she sent Eiffel back).

In that scene, both of them are acting from a personal emotional place of care for each other as individuals. But in terms of what they actually say, Eiffel expresses this kind of motivation much more directly than Minkowski. He admits to the specificity of it in a way Minkowski doesn't know how to. Eiffel appeals to Minkowski's personal individual motivations, which she hasn't really admitted to. His final plea is to call Minkowski by her first name for the first time.

#Wolf 359 #w359 #I do think the 'big picture' reasons matter to Eiffel #He obvs doesn't want Cutter to wipe out most of the human race #But I also think that even if he fully believed that he had nothing to contribute to that fight #even if he thought the crew would definitely succeed without him #or even if he thought their plan was entirely doomed to failure #he would still be desperate not to leave the others behind #Big picture or no big picture. he wants to be with them #He wants them to stand together against the enemy #(to borrow a phrase from the late Officer Lambert) #And unlike Minkowski. he actually expresses those personal individual emotional motivations #Minkowski leaves hers mostly implied #I think this also links back to a post I posted last week about how Eiffel is the one who verbalises both of their hugs #It's another instance of Eiffel being much more emotionally open than Minkowski #I think that's a way in which he's really valuable for her #Doug Eiffel #renee minkowski #wolf 359 spoilers #w359 spoilers #the empty man posteth #renée minkowski #Eiffel & Minkowski

when eiffel is talking to bob in ep 54, bob says that the captain of the previous ship that encountered them valued music more than anything else. in change of mind its shown that music is also special to lovelace, she only ever relaxes when listening to music. minkowski loves musicals and musical theatre

all the ships that encountered the aliens had people who hold music dear to their hearts. but from what I gathered they were the only ones on their crews to be like this. except minkowskis crew, because eiffel also loves music

(image IDs under cut)

[image ID] 1st picture. a screenshot of the transcript for episode 54 of wolf 359.

BOB : THIS.

He SNAPS HIS FINGERS AND-

In a corner of the room, a RECORD PLAYER COMES TO LIFE. It begins to play Beethoven's SONATA PATHETIQUE. Eiffel FROWNS, confused.

BOB (CONT'D) : THE FIRST TIME WE ENCOUNTERED YOUR SPECIES. THE MISSION LEADER, COMMANDER ZHANG, SHE VALUED THIS TECHNOLOGY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

2nd picture. a screenshot of the transcript for wolf 359 change of mind.

LOVELACE : All right. See you in a few.

She floats upwards, looks down... sees the tiny figure of Lambert growing smaller and smaller... And then she looks up. The song she listened to last time begins to play. She's at peace.

3rd picture. a screenshot of the character bio for minkowski.

An immigrant of Eastern European origins, Lieutenant Commander Renée Minkowski is an accomplished pilot, expert tactician, and closeted lover of musical theatre.

4th picture. a screenshot of the transcript for episode 54 of wolf 359.

EIFFEL (CONT'D) : Well, Bob my man... you gotta check out some of the latest advancements. Otis Redding. Zeppelin. Taylor.

(snaps his fingers)

Sir Mix-A-Lot. I think he's been doing some ot the best scientific work of the last fifty years.

#im not smart enough to figure out what this could mean but i just noticed this and found it kind of cool #like if eiffel wasnt so into pop culture would minkowski be the one targeted by the aliens for communication ? #did the communication work because the comms officer is a music enjoyer instead of like the previous crews ? #or maybe because minkowski and eiffel are more open about this than lovelace they were picked up on earlier by the aliens #i dont know but it is very cool pattern #wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #renee minkowski #isabel lovelace #wolf 359 spoilers
