i know the context is terrible but this is still such a cute moment from his perspective. He almost died (again) he met aliens he had a whole 2001 experience and the first thing he does is to hug his friend so tight and so happily <3

based on this hotfuzz meme bc it always reminds me of them u_u (also imagine this is early season 2)

For the wolf 359 crowd that watches star trek, remember the exchange "people either love you or hate you. I remember I hated you when i first met you. But now...." "...but now...?" "...well, I don't hate you" "...thanks a lot, chief, that means a lot" "I mean it from the heart, I really do... not hate you" between o'brien and bashir in ds9? I know in my heart this could be a convo between minkowski and eiffel too

New Listener

Currently finished EP 40 and is it just me or is the show TRYING to get me to ship Doug and Minkowski. There are more moments of them supporting each other, bantering, being adorable, than I have fingers on my hands (I have 10 fingers)

I had a dream that Doug Eiffel was an escaped prisoner and essentially kidnapped Renee to run away with him but they ended up friendly and eventually falling in love anyway

Me: Infidelity is one of the worst things you could do to someone, to take someone who loves you so much and stab them in the back.

Dominik Koudelka: *exists*

Me: Get cuckolded idiot.

Uh oh kids I'm reentering my Minffel phase

mcwexler and minffel!

how DARE you send me two of my biggest otps of all time? four of the best characters of anything ever past present and future? that make me insane beyond words? i shall try:

minffel

mcwexler

bro what can i even say about any of them that i havent said before? at the lowest of minkowski's points eiffel is the one who digs her out by making her laugh, again and again? he's her moral compass? he'd follow her to hell? the entire universe would freeze before he stops calling her commander? and then jimmy and kim like jimmy would die for kim and kim would kill for jimmy? he wants to be better partly for her but he'll still do terrible thinkgs For Her? its about the devotion its about being silly together!!!! ive been pondering how to answer this ask for hours but all i can do is to pace around the house thinking how fucking GOOD these two pairs are 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[ship bingo]

Renee: I'll have you know that my team is extremely competent.

Doug, rushing in: Minkowski! I tried to make ramen in the coffee pot and I broke everything!

I've gotten a bunch of kudos-bursts on my Ao3 stuff lately and it makes me smile every time I get that email! Thanks to everyone who has been reading, and to anyone sharing my stuff with others. (I assume something must have gotten linked/shared somewhere because people are mostly kudos-ing all my Minffel and domestic OT3 stuff.)

Kudoses and comments make a fic writer's day! Thanks to everyone reading and reacting. 💙

the very sudden and immense psychic damage i get everytime i remember minkowski's multiple times where she calls him doug vs eiffel's sole "goddammit renée, don't do this!" like literally

@herawell asked: on the forehead kiss for Eiffel and Minkowski!

woe, season 3 angsty hurt/comfort be upon ye...... 😭😭😭😭

can’t stop thinking about how eiffel called minkowski “renée” in the finale but it’s fine i’m fine

Ahhhh Eiffel as a Flight Traffic Controller x Minkowski as a Pilot AU my beloved

6, 9, and 13 for wolf 359

6. which is my favorite platonic or familial relationship in this world.

A tie between Maxwell & Jacobi (solidest bond in the series) and Minkowski & Eiffel (the core of the podcast per Word of God).

9. which characters I think should have interacted more in canon

Answered this before, but Hera and the Dear Listeners. It would have been so interesting to see them communicate, since Hera trusts them more than she trusts human and she is similar to Lovelace in terms of purpose and function.

13. which canon or popular fanon relationship I can't stand or feel 'meh' about and why.

None, really? I used to be indifferent to Kepcobi but I've come around to them because of the tragedy and dysfunction inherent to them. I am kind of 'meh' about romantic Maxcobi and Minffel because I like platonic M/F relationships, although I do have mutuals who ship them romantically.
