The Anatomy of a Fall Out Boy Song

having a side wound is such slut behavior tbh. like damn your waist is looking pretty grabbable right now 👀 due to needing to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. but also other factors.

Since I'm w359posting this week apparently, I wanted to share something neat I learned from the AMAs about how the writers designed the characters.

Apparently, the original four crewmembers were plotted on two axes - human vs inhuman and order vs chaos. Eiffel and Minkowski were the chaos human and order human, and Hera and Hilbert were the chaos inhuman and order (metaphorical) inhuman. Lovelace upon her introduction was plotted at the dead center of both axes.

To really amp up everyone reflecting each other, when they started designing the SI5 characters, they took the original three humans' personalities and job titles and rotated them. So, they set up a commander, scientist, and technician, but gave the commander Hilbert's traits, the scientist Eiffel's traits, and the technician Minkowski's traits.

Obviously that was only a starting point, and all three characters grew into their own people very different from where they began. However, you can see traces of these influences. Least so with Jacobi, imo, but in the Rashomon episode where each person's account reflects their priorities and anxieties, he's striving to portray himself as a dedicated, safety-conscious professional frustrated that no one else takes his work seriously, which is something Minkowski can relate to. He's also Kepler's administrative officer, even if we don't see him doing paperwork very often.

Maxwell is clearer. She's the most friendly and social of her team and strikes up the closest connection with Hera. Also, as soon as she's gone, the rest of her team implodes, much as in "Pan Pan" the remaining crew is at each other's throats.

Finally, Kepler's alignment with Hilbert is obvious to me at least - they both are people with theoretically noble goals who are willing to do terrible things to achieve them, and Goddard takes advantage of that to get them to do terrible things full stop. Hilbert is just further along on the Goddard employee lifecycle of getting chewed up and discarded (he's had more of his legs eaten, to use the pig story's metaphor). They hate each other so much because they recognize each other.

... I am only thinking this now as I type it out, but I always wondered why Eiffel disliked Maxwell after only knowing her for a couple days, most of which he'd spent convalescing. I figured she was probably asking invasive questions about Hera, but if I'm suggesting Hilbert and Kepler hate each other because they recognize each other as card carrying members of the face-eating leopards party.... maybe Eiffel dislikes Maxwell because he sees something of himself in her.

renee minkowski is the only person I truly believe was born in the wrong century. she possesses the soul of an 1800s sailor. if she was the captain in Moby Dick they would’ve harpooned that whale in half the time

Hera: Don’t underestimate the Hephaestus crew. Our team motto is ‘maybe we’ll get lucky this time’

#OH THIS IS THE COOLEST #Jacobi voice: OW goddammit #wolf 359

[sevencolorsoul]

imagine listening to wolf 359 for the plot. is it not enough to hear jacobi, unhinged?

#I have reblogged this one before but it is so important #wolf 359

[sevencolorsoul]

Wolf 359 gave us the opposite of the “bury your gays” trope. Instead, they gave us Jacobi, the gay who absolutely refuses to die no matter how many people try and kill him

#I still cannot believe this motherfucker survived #That shocks me to this day #Anyway slay Wolf 359 #wolf 359

I said this on my old blog and I'll say it again: I don't really ship Kepcobi but Zach Libresco and Noah Masur really went off with "No Complaints"

[image id: 8 images combining wolf 359 characters with text posts to make it seem like they’re saying them. because it’s a podcast, all the screenshots are taken from the wolf 359 liveshow where the actors dressed up as their characters.

1. lovelace says ‘Ive actually been dead for 7 years and everything I do/say are just coincidental post death muscle spasms’.

2. eiffel (while minkowski is telling him off) says ‘sure. blame the guy who’s a huge idiot who causes a lot of problems, again’.

3. hera says ‘God gave me depression because if my ambitions went unchecked I would have bested him in hand to hand combat by age 16′.

4. lovelace says ‘me: queen of having had enough’.

5. hera says ‘i’m never passive aggressive’ and on a second line ‘unlike some people’.

6. eiffel says ‘*writes ‘wish you were here’ on a balloon and sends it up to the aliens’.

7. this one implies thoughts rather than statement; eiffel, hera, and minkowski are all staring at lovelace, and the text is ‘reverse murder mystery: ‘who the hell reanimated this person’‘.

8. cutter is talking to minkowski. minkowski thinks ‘none of your emails are finding me well’.

#HELPPPPPPPPPPP #‘god gave me depression cus’ Hera one is CANON #wolf 359

[sevencolorsoul]

i'm relistening to wolf 359 and i think i forgot how canon it is that jacobi had a crush on kepler

i also forgot how INSTANTLY in their relationship you get the general vibe that kepler has instructed jacobi to sleep with someone for a mission before, and that jacobi is very used to it

what if THIS adventure in relistening is what finally lights that old spark to write a fucked up novelette about warren kepler into a blaze

#I’m so normal about them (they make me feel fucking insane) #wolf 359 #kepcobi

[sevencolorsoul]

I have a few minisodes I think should have existed, but the ideas I think about the most are

Lovelace gets some of Kepler’s cologne on her and realizes that Jacobi and Maxwell are significantly more receptive to what she has to say. Her and Hilbert test the cologne for some sort of mind control agent only to find that si-5 is just kind of fucked up like that.

and

2. The lab is momentarily uninhabitable. Hilbert desperately searches the Hephaestus for a quiet place to work. Behind every door he tries is either a set of characters having a heart to heart, or a Kepler who is very eager to tell a story to someone. Hera is involved in like five of the conversations. It’s ambiguous whether Kepler is behind a few different doors because time is elapsed, or for the sake of comedic effect.
