[cosmichorrorlesbians]

oh Isabel Lovelace we're really in it now...

[terrible-freedom]

Any Wolf 359 fans still out there? I'm deleting two saved URLs finally, come and get them!! They are:

"minkowskis" and "alienlovelace"

P.S. if there really are still fans out there, I <3 you and remember: when in doubt, whip it out ;)

[vulturevalentines]

They think like you, talk like you, make poor decisions about their personal diet like you. They will walk out of the swamp believing they are you. They'll go back to your life, and show up at your job, and love who you love, and live your life, and die your death. And the world will go on.

But… are they really you?

Round 2 Part 1 Poll 1

Propaganda

Luffy is oh so dumb and stupid and I would trust him with my life. Nothing gets in the way of the Rubber Boy and the hyperfixation he has had since childhood. Not cops (he punches them), not the government (he declared war on them cuz they suck booo), not the most beautiful woman in the world (sorry Boa), not dead siblings (<3), and not even basically dying several times himself. Truly an gluttonous, acab, aroace, neurodivergent icon. I 100% understand why everyone this dumbass comes in contact with is like, "Okay yeah sure. I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth, I guess."

This is sorta spoilers but her presence is a spoiler) Isabel Lovelace is the former captain of the USS Hephaestus from a previous mission, kept secret from our main crew of Commander Minkowski, Comms officer Doug Eiffel, but not Dr Hilbert who was on the previous mission under another name. She is badass, but not as strict as Minkowski, maintaining a somewhat chummy relationship with Doug. Unfortunately she has also had enough of Goddard Futuristics' bullshit and makes Minkowski, Hilbert, and Eiffel work to return the crew to earth under threat of a dead-man's-switch operated bomb going off. She has seen her previous crew murdered by Goddard and will not rest until every executive has their head on a pike. (OK SUPER SPOILERS NOW) she is also very dead. the version of her that appears in the show is revealed to be a doppleganger planted by aliens (known as the dear listeners by doug).

it's so crazy that fin argus wrote "ship in a bottle" about all of my favorite emotionally repressed podcastwoman captains

[brisingr-sword]

wolf 369 episode “change of mind” permanently changed my brain chemistry

You will never convince me that Isabel Lovelace is not disabled post-canon. Think about it.

Of everyone in the crew, she's spent by far the longest time in space. Sure, she's probably been exercising, but that isn't going to fully stop her muscles atrophying. Her bones are going to weaken. Not to mention the fact that she went into the cryo chamber, which we know isn't GREAT for you (I know Eiffel is kind of an outlier but still. Even once is gonna fuck you up at least a little).

Then add to THAT the fact that the body Lovelace has now was created by the dear listeners. Not only are they recreating a body that's already undergone almost a thousand days of the trauma of space; they're doing it with zero existing knowledge of how a human body functions in Earth's gravity. The clones are almost perfect, but there are notable differences in internal organs, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lovelace was put back together with some inconsistencies.

All this to say, I think Lovelace would become a mobility aid user when the crew lands back on Earth. Everyone on the crew would probably end up in physical therapy, but the damage done to her body would be by far the most extensive. Whereas I don't doubt Jacobi, Minkowski, and Eiffel could regain most if not all of their mobility, I think Lovelace would use a wheelchair, and eventually with PT could use crutches or a cane some days. Even if she were to regain muscle function, she would probably have some sort of chronic pain that would necessitate mobility aids!

In conclusion Let Her Be Disabled thank you for coming to my TED talk

[the0retically]

Ok I didn’t really like Lovelace when she came in but the Mini Episode: Variations on a Theme made me love her, I adore characters who are grieving their past and their present is exactly like their past but they’re the only one who can see the ghosts in the actions of these new people

[vagariousmind]

Why isn't the gay website obsessed with badass lesbian icon space Captain Isabel Lovelace from wolf 359?

Every time I listen to this podcast I am more in love with her. I need a fandom for my asshole sarcastic queen.

[automatonwithautonomy]

[vulturevalentines]

i think that they would be friends post canon. let me have this
