The Wittebane Brothers

[id: an in-colour digital drawing of eda, raine, luz, king and hooty from ‘the owl house’. all five characters are sleeping in eda’s nest. around it on the floor are several items: paper, a book, a mug, a sweater and a boot. hooty is curled around the edge of the nest, serving as a pillow for eda and raine. raine is spooning eda and is wearing eda’s ‘bad girl coven’ t-shirt. eda is wearing her pyjamas and is snoring. luz is wearing her standard outfit and is leaning against eda’s stomach with king curled up in her lap. end id.]

nap time at the owl house!🦉

"Watch the Owl House", they said. "It's just a silly little kids cartoon about magic and fun times."

for my followers who do not watch severance:

dylan's wife cheated on dylan with dylan so dylan threatened to kill dylan so dylan's wife broke up with dylan and went back to dylan and dylan was so depressed about it that dylan killed dylan but dylan's still alive

WAIT FUCK ITS THE WRONG HAND AND FOOT

HASHTAG BOY LIFE

chat i’ve found myself unable to recover after finishing red valley. which podcast do i listen to now..

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.
