i honestly do feel that eiffel's disrespect for authority and willingness to complain are positive traits. in terms of 'these are things i value in real people', but also for what it represents and what he's resisting within the narrative of wolf 359.
it's notable in the face of cutter's personal philosophy and goddard's corporate culture (pryce & carter #5, etc.) ... eiffel won't just accept anything, he won't do his job with a smile (he might not do his job at all, but either way, he reserves the right to be upset about it), he won't learn to compartmentalize. he will complain. he will keep on complaining. he values emotional honesty, and actively encourages others to express their feelings, especially the ones that aren't goddard-approved.
no matter what happens, or how long they've been up there, he never gets desensitized, and i think there's really something about someone who will keep saying 'this isn't normal, it isn't okay, i'm not okay with it, and i ask you to also not be okay with it,' even when he seems alone in saying it. their situation is horrible, and he feels everything so strongly. being able to express that is healthy, and it's human. i find it reassuring.

Here's a little snippet of some out-of-context scenario I wrote about Chara while trying to deal with my own feelings.
Chara recoiled at the memory. Why did they say that? It hadn't even sounded like them, or at least the perfect, well-behaved, never-troubled version of themself that they let other people see. They hated the Dreemurrs. They decided right then and there. Their "new family" was corrupting them, taking what little good they had in them. They never would have lashed out like that with...before they fell. They never would have let anyone see them like that. They squeezed their eyes shut against the rush of their thoughts. Now the Dreemurrs could see what they really were: selfish, and evil, and ugly. Did they even deserve to be here at all?

Do people genuinely think 259 is a bad chapter? Am I somehow too close to the story to judge correctly? 😵💫 Idk I still think that was a beautiful chapter from a story/art perspective..

I’m actually laughing at the people who are shocked & amazed about the fact that there are fics that are anti-Tommy. Like, have you guys BEEN on AO3, ever? There’s so many anti-Ana & Ana Flores bashing fics and SHE WAS BASICALLY AN NPC 😂 She didn’t do anything other than exist and get broken up with, & I’m 90% sure she has the most bashing fics written about her on that site. Did you REALLY think Tommy was going to get off scot-free just bc YOU like him???
Tommy as a character is cool, & I ADORE Lou, but I’m not obsessed with the way he & Buck are together, so I’ll probably read & maybe even write one of those fics, and if you don’t like it, that’s totally valid! You don’t have to read it! Nobody is going to make you, or get pissed that you don’t love Tommy bashing fics! If other people’s art isn’t for you, that’s totally fine!
However, as an enjoyer of bashing fics (of basically ANY character myself), I’m going to get my little drinky drink & scroll on my little website and enjoy whatever comes my way 😋🤭

I think I read somewhere about McLean Stevenson originally auditioned for Hawkeye on MASH and I have to be so honest I've been very compelled by that idea since I first heard about it. Like.... I'd be so interested in seeing that vision and the show that would have come out from that.
Of course he'd be SO different from Alan Alda's Hawkeye and Alan is the definitive Hawkeye to me, but at the same time I'm so curious what MASH would have looked like if he were playing the protagonist

"In our graves, would you mind if we're facing each other?"
"...What?"
Her response came out breathy, already half-dead and still dying more. Adrien turned over the withering dandelion between his forefinger and thumb, nestling further into the grounds of the cemetery and hoping it would oblige.
Adrien felt the sharp wind cut his cheek; The air was a January cold for an early November, though his muddy brown overcoat helped to soften the brunt of it. Still, there was this feeling that somewhere—somewhere out there—the wind was catching on something, causing a whistle he couldn't yet hear. A disturbance in the still unbroken silence.
"Our graves," he said, watching himself spin that pitiful dandelion. "I'd like to be able to see you when I'm dead. When we die together."
Claudia traced a finger in the dirt. "And why is that?"
"I just like the idea of being able to look at your face." He did just that. "I like looking at you. ...I want to be you."
