one of my favorite eiffel lines is at the end of constructive criticism, where he apologizes by saying: “i know i’ve said sorry a bunch, but i want to make sure i apologize for the things that matter. for shutting you out and getting tunnel-visioned, instead of being here. and thinking about how i can, you know, keep de-bugging my code.”
it’s just very… deferential? towards hera in particular, without being self-deprecating on eiffel’s part. i wish i knew how to articulate what i like about it so much, but it’s kind of just a feeling. it’s the unspoken acknowledgement that he knows he’s been using language that makes the people around him feel othered, and the application of that same type of language to himself in a non-judgmental context kind of… equalizes it, a little bit. it’s not much, but he’s trying, and it’s sweet.

the thing about the dear listeners wanting to make contact with earth because of the classical music is probably one of my favorite plot points in wolf 359. wolf 359 started my classical music journey by showing me how pretty and special it is.
but now that i’m the classical musician i am i keep over analyzing the music. why they chose that specific piece, that specific movement, etc. and i over analyze it too much for the fact that it’s mainly the popular pieces.
Listening to Wolf 359 while doing AP Music Theory homework is always a fun experience. Especially listening to the first mission mishap, where it’s clear that Eiffel knows literally nothing about classical music, but he still falls victim to the universal experience of getting Canon in D stuck in your head to the point where it overrides your thoughts.
(spoilers up to ep 54 after this point)
Even better was the next episode where it’s revealed that the aliens want to make contact with humanity for the sole reason that they think any civilization that can create music must be incredibly intelligent. And as anyone who has studied music for more than 5 seconds could tell you, that is very much NOT true. Music theory is held together by 500 year old traditions and duct tape, and if the aliens looked at the brain of a music major they would have killed humanity on the spot.

So this started off as just one doodle but I guess sometimes when you can’t get a piece of media out of your head you just gotta doodle it All out of your system. So here’s a timeline of Doug Eiffel’s very bad time in orbit around Wolf 359 and beyond. Mostly it was me indulging in floaty space hair and practicing drawing a character uniformly and reliably. I appreciate that most of us seem to agree he is a bun and/or ponytail man.
Bonus: The rest of the crew

wolf 359 has three ways of raising narrative stakes:
breaking even more of the ship
giving characters even more conflicting trauma responses
introducing a guy who's even more annoying than the last annoying guy to the point where the last annoying guy has to pull a clownfish and turn good to keep numbers balanced

One of the many Wolf 359 script directions that lives rent free in my head is this bit from Do No Harm:
Minkowski winces. She watches Eiffel get stabbed with a massive needle and she winces. I don't think she is a very squeamish person - I don't think it's that she'd generally wince at seeing a massive needle go into someone. But she has that almost physical reaction to witnessing something painful happening to Eiffel...

In the script for Mayday, it seems like the interference over the comms prevented Eiffel from being properly able to hear Minkowski say "We're not just going to leave you out there" right before he got stranded:
But in the actual moment in the show, it sounds like he would have been able to make out the first part of what she was saying:
Does the fact that he did hear her say that they weren't going to leave him out there make it better or worse?
I think Minkowski might think it was worse, that what she thought would be the last thing he would ever hear her say was a promise she wasn't able to keep. Of course, she'd feel that she'd let him down either way, but I think it really tore her up inside to think that she'd explicitly told him that she wouldn't leave him out there, and then she had. I think if Minkowski had had the choice, she would have rather Eiffel hadn't heard her say that line.
But from Eiffel's perspective? I like to think perhaps it was a very small comfort, that the last thing that he heard Minkowski say before he was stranded was an expression of her determination to keep him safe. I wonder if it was something that he held onto during that ordeal on the shuttle - perhaps it was one of the reasons why it was her voice that came to him first to tell him to figure out how to survive. I think it was important for him to know that she really really didn't want to leave him out there. It was important that, although he was so completely alone on that shuttle, he didn't feel like he'd been completely abandoned.

you guys ever think about how cutter killed bob right in front of eiffel, so eiffel simultaneously 1) watched his boss kill an extra-dimensional alien being with capabilities beyond comprehension of the human mind, and 2) essentially watched his boss kill him, snapped the neck of a guy who looked and sounded exactly like him and had his body thrown into space, and he was still like. horrible as that was. actually not the most traumatic thing that has happened to me so far today.

deliverusfromsburb said: Hera celebrates data storage milestones. Baby’s first petabyte.
alternatively, crew shaming. “I now have 1 gigabyte of Officer Eiffel burping and we just passed 24 hours total of Commander Minkowski citing Pryce and Carter."
Oh that’s Delightful. Developmental milestones and blackmail material/evidence of Irrational Humans Being Weird to pull out when anyone questions her. “Who do you trust: me, or this guy?” [Eiffel burp compilation 5.7 hours]
Alternately she plays Eiffel Burp Compilation 5.7 Hours at Hilbert post-mutiny because she is not technically allowed to harm him, but psychic damage doesn’t count.
I imagine she has several running projects like these and she gets a ping of satisfaction when she gets a nice whole number of Eiffel Microwave Disaster Moments, swear words in other languages, or an ever-expanding map of the station’s vents based on the movement location of Minkowski’s communication badge.
