TFW You realize that in volume 10, on the couch, when Vash fires a off a shot at Knives when his ship flies by overhead and causes the darker streak of hair you see in the beginning of the next chapter, it's LITERALLY that a part of Vash died on that couch. It's not even metaphorical. That entire scene is the catalyst for everything else that happens afterward, and Vash didn't just bury the person he loved, he buried part of himself.
Like. You always hear the tropey theme of "a part of me died with them" used in media, as a metaphor for their grief. In this instance, it's not even a metaphor. He actually had a part of himself die in his grief.
God DAMN how can anyone see then as anything but married? The more I analyze their relationship and that scene, the more the wedding/soulmates/lovers becomes SO OBVIOUS, it's not subtext, it's SPELLED OUT IN BIG, BOLD LETTERS.

Tumblr media
In which two vampires with extreme charm have you wrapped around your finger (when in reality it’s them wrapped around your finger). (To be added on to, I wanted to expand on this more later lol)
WARNINGS/TAGS: mentions of depression/loneliness (reader runs into the woods to be alone but also craving companionship), gender neutral reader
Vampire Vash and Vampire Knives meeting reader! I’ll add onto this in separate pieces but I haven’t set a definitive timeline yet!! So any drabbles written may deviate from the last piece
I was debating on writing this in Victorian era type beat or modern au (because I’ve written vampire Nai modern au) but I asked my fav vamp lover @coffinbeananteiku and her word is final 🫡 (I needed to ask someone to decide for me I’m very indecisive sometimes)

The dusk of a new night greets you as you run. Far, far away. You had nowhere to go, your feet leading you wherever the wind took you. Nothing truly important lay back in town, perhaps a few less than noteworthy friends in society who’d given an artificial smile and obligatory wave.
Nothing to go back to.
So of course you’d been an idiot to run into the woods. You have one horrible day, and rather than wallowing at home like usual you make the horrid decision to run when others keep berating you for it, fine attire catching on brambles you’d almost tripped over as the haphazard movements of yours fell to a halt. How far had you run? How far did your stress carry you?
Alone. Just as you wished and terrified. Only the moss at your feet and rather barren branches accompanied you, horrors of the night awaiting your person.
Wonderful. Wonderful.
You breathed in shakily, only to exhale into a sob. God, you were tired, so so very tired.
You eventually lifted your head to observe your surroundings. Eerie; yet a welcome sight compared to the bustling cobblestone streets of town, quiet, perhaps too quiet. The wind whistles past your ears in its reverie, encompassing you fully into the charm of the night.
This could be good, you attempt to reassure yourself. That thought is fleeting as you attempt to appreciate the short lived tranquility and struggle to backtrack. It’s futile.
You have no way back. So what must you do? Trudge forward. The next town could be for miles, you have no money and certainly no mode of transportation besides your already exhausted two feet.
You trek forward.
Not long after, your loneliness returns. The peaceful night soon digs into your heels once again, dragging your already worried mind into further disquietude. Your arms wrap around yourself in poor manner to shield yourself from the further night’s chill, vision hazy from the little light and paranoia suffocating you.
But nevertheless, you persist. You were stubborn in that way, never knowing quite when to stop despite the fear you’d be too much. Even now, when you’d done too much, by leaving town entirely to the welcoming yet terrifying arms of the woods did you remain stubborn. In a will to survive? In the pursuit of curiosity? The need for more? To deserve more?
You’d never quite place it, you’re sure. Perhaps all of the above.
Such thoughts plague you as you unknowingly stare down at your feet, eventually reaching a cobblestone pathway.
Your neck snaps up to see- ruins? No, it’s far too neatly kept for that. A castle, complete with gates and stone pathways; warm torches lit at the sides if you squinted from the faraway grounds of the gates. Cool moonlight acted as your light as you traversed forward, feet picking up. Perhaps you could try to see if it was abandoned, fashion yourself a place for the night! Hopefully no dangers resided here, in such a domestic place. Well, perhaps it wasn’t the most welcoming of homes but it certainly was a new sight amongst what surrounded you. Ah, yes, dead trees, dead trees, and.. woah! More dead trees!
..so, quite the refreshing sight.
The pats of your feet are the only noise you truly process, the gates creaking with movement as you walk closer to the manor.
Large metal rings the size of your head hung heavily at the double doors. Should you knock? They appeared to be in usable condition.. so you supposed, lifting one knocker with your dominant hand.
A heavy boom resounded as you dropped it. You’d never really used one- just accustomed to the usual rapping of knuckles on doors, or a verbal call whilst entering a room.
“You appear unfamiliar.” A voice suddenly husks behind you, making you nearly jump out of your skin.
You whipped around quickly, “Holy shit!-“ for someone in the Victorian era, your modern slang (profanity) was rather proficient. Standing before you was someone cold and cunning, towering over you intensely. His presence demanded attention, the need to stand straight and not let him out of your sight in fear of what he could do.
The wind whistled in your ears once more. Like a taunt that it could run far away from here, unlike you. His domineering white- no, almost white, pale blue eyes stared down at you. He seemed inhuman.
Your mind seemed scrambled in a feeble attempt to explain yourself, “Sorry I uh, was walking and needed someplace to stay for the night..”
His eyebrow arches in amusement. “So you decided to reside here?”
The crunching of leaves is what alerts you to a new presence behind the.. man who’d confronted you, wisps of blonde hair peeking from over his shoulder until he stood next to him. “Aw, that’s no way to treat a visitor!” He gave a sweet, yet strangely tight lipped smile. “I’m Vash, this is Nai. It’s wonderful to meet you.” A partially gloved hand adorned in lace outstretches towards yours in a pleasant handshake, small tears in the fabric from overuse. It’s a paradoxical feeling of ‘rough lace’, yet it suits him rather well.
You hesitantly greet yourself, voice meek with unfamiliarity and worry. An introduction slips past your lips albeit shaky voice, he remains ever so friendly and opens the door for you, the.. Nai guy taking care to briskly zoom past and ignore your very presence.
How kind. He’s taken a liking to you.
Vash merely brushes it off as usual banter, perhaps it’s nothing personal, you assume. He seemed unbothered overall and didn’t really acknowledge anything, that much you could observe just from his behaviors so far.
It’s not of importance, not in your mind at least. What truly caught your attention? The ornate structures in the main hall- carvings of angels in rich marble and stone, hell, even the floors had carvings!
Out of curiosity you dipped your toe into the slight crevices in the ground, feeling the divots of some.. geometric swirls and markings that decorated the beauty of the castle.
“Hey, you coming?” Vash peeked over his shoulder towards you- you’d lost yourself in the beauty of the room. He gave a knowing smile at your wonderment, entrancing chuckle reverberating throughout the tall ceilings. “I was the same way when I first came here, it’s definitely a sight to take in!” He jolts his head to beckon you forward,
“You can stay the night. If you wish.”
What other choice did you really have?

Can I hear more about vash and wolfwood in the pirate au?
YES YOU CAN unfortunately i will be rambling again i cannot control this
so vash in the au is very similar to the show, essentially a super infamous pirate captain known for destroying entire fleets of ships and killing lots of people but of course in reality he isnt even a captain, just A Guy
he hides the siren stuff for as long as he can, but there comes a point where he Needs to go back to his siren form and then everyone knows (more on that later 🫡)
as for wolfwood hes essentially Guy Hired To Take Down Vash but when he actually encounters him hes like "oh wow hes pathetic cool" and defects with him n meryl n milly (also the girls are like. trade ship ppl)
also ik i talked ab it before but ww's punisher equivalent here is a big ballista that he just yoinked from somewhere and its his now
main big wolfwood n vash scene i imagine is like. idk exactly how but ww is in Trouble In The Ocean and vash has to turn back into a siren to get to him in time before he drowns
ww obv sees this and is Upset Actually because he assumes that vash had been using siren power shtuffs to manipulate ww and such, so it caused a bit of a rift for a while and vash ends up leaving to go confront his brother alone
thats where the one drawing of ww tied to the mast comes in but mayhaps ill explain that context another time when someone asks me more about the sillies
more tidbits:
- meryl n milly found vash just lying face down in the ocean and pulled him up in their fishing net (get it cuz hes. yeah)
- ww was Also found just lying in the ocean on top of the punisher ballista because of course he was
also just posting the sketches of them here again for reference

SHARE COLLEGE AU
HBDJVBDJFH ok. ok.
the basic premise is that like. any character that could be hced as indigenous. is hced as indigenous . and then u take everyone and plop them in 1999 in a college setting with some added bg for each of the characters and motivations and stuff yk
i will admit it is ww centric as its written from his vague pov (third person limited omniscient) but i digress. hes in november trying to get a degree asap so he can fulfill an ultimatum proposed by chapel so he can get livio out of the system and fuck off back to the reservation he grew up on (for context ww is crow+seminole and livio is crow) but he shows up to the college and his roommate is this . scene guy. enter legato our favorite french canadian (besides hornfreak love u hornfreak) who becomes begrudging besties. sort of . with ww
he recommends him a coffee shop and ww goes there before going shopping for shit he needs and thus we get one of our big hubs of the au: threes a crowd! a number of characters work there including brad, luida, zazie (navajo) and of course. vash (mixed white + kanien'keha:ka) he meets him and doesnt really like . register him much beyond it bc hes got bigger fish to fry :sob:
and obv ive planned a lot more (36 chapters for part one. augh) including but not limited to: ww struggling through his coursework (majoring in social work) and being aided by one of his teachers (roberto. love u king u may be tristamp only but u have bewitched me) (hes also ojibwe. love him), ww joining up with a mentor club and accidentally befriending two journalism majors (meryl and milly!!!! inuk and seneca respectively) (also specifically meryl is a photojournalism major!), ww continually running into this one pipsqueak around town who gives him attitude (zazie <3), and also dealing with whatever situationship legato is in (i could not resist making him and nai messy as fuck)
theres also obv other characters that r in there that im still trying to sew in in a way that makes sense: elendira (journalism professor, russian + sami), rollo (mexican + southern paiute, havent entirely decided on his major though so sorry king), hornfreak (a part of the school band. fascinating man. at one point he holds a halloween party) and a bunch of others i havent gotten to yet :sob:
theres a lotttt going on in this au ill be honest but also objectively it is very slice of life . but heres a list of stuff i have planned
vash and nai as lacrosse players. vash invites ww out to games and is really silly abt it
for a not insignificant amount of time ww learns about legatos situationship and bc legato never mentions names he thinks vash has a secret insane ass thing going on with legato . it isnt until chapter 11 (allegedly) that he finds out vash has a twin brother and goes back to legato like . hey. is it vash and legatos like ew what?
milly and meryl are enraptured by roberto working at the school bc he did a lot of journalism work that inspired them to join the field. silly shenanigans ensue
on the topic of milly and meryl they are so fascinating to me. they originally met in the mentor club and hit it off immediately based on their similar (but different) familial issues and the horrors
vash and ww plan out a bunch of movie nights including: scream, 10 things i hate abt you and smoke signals
chapel drama followed immediately by ill-timed vash and ww argument
while ignoring vash ww gets a nokia <3 love loses
at the halloween party milly accidentally walks in on them in a compromising position (nothing was happening) and awkward bs ensues where vash comes around and it like its ok theyre chill and Not Gay but it wouldnt change anything if they Were Gay but They Arent so its Fine
livio and ww apartmentsitting for vash and nai while theyre off visiting family during the holidays :D
nye party where vash and ww almost kiss and thus ends part 1 . LOVE LOSES
also i should list what everyones majoring in that i didnt mention but this is already long enough good lord
all this to say. i am insane god bless
some small cuts from the draft so far beneath the cut bc i couldnt resist

none of those are in order but its ok <3

Thoughts on volume 1 (disorganized and very sparse, I don’t have the brain capacity for meta this week)
Greetings everybody! I probably won’t be super insightful or anything but I’d really like to have conversations with people (can’t convert my irl friends no matter how hard I try). I’ve really enjoyed reading about people’s thoughts in the tags this week.
Thank god for the people at trigun overhaul they are saving my ass so much time and money right now. It’s really accessible and I appreciate it very much, that shit could NOT have been easy or quick.
I was really iffy on Nightow’s style for a long time, but it’s growing on me pretty quickly. There’s something about that 90s style of manga I was never quite sure about, but Vash’s babygirl eyes are winning me over.
Manga Vash just kind of feels different already? He’s still Vash obv but he feels more blue as opposed to maybe a warmer color. There’s a palpable melancholy about him and it’s making me feel weird. Kind of like I’m seeing the reality of his character and situation? (*I should mention that I’m basing my picture of him on all animated material + a decent amount of manga spoilers.) Maybe part of that is the kind of baby face he has here. He looks younger but seems older? His eyes feel different. It’s the lashes, probably. He looks like a wet cat in a lot of these drawings because of those eyes.
Odds are decent that I’m just weird emotionally right now lol. Probably good this is scheduled to be read slowly instead of all at once. Maybe this is just putting into perspective that his Antics are for his own sanity as much as his image. I, too, make jokes to ignore the Existential Dread. He is more often visibly upset without the theatrics.
WAHOO! (<- obligatory Dante comparison)
Gonna flat color some pages. I have to get it out of my system. It’s killing me they’re like coloring pages I MUST.
The Plants are good and proper fucked up here, aren’t they. I see why Trimax people make Vash an eldritch monstrosity. Very excited to see how much of that is based in canon. Also, wings! (I am going to be normal about this (<- lying)).
Not to homestuck post on the trigun blog but Vash and Knives are so hope/rage coded. Could make an argument for like 4 different classpects for both of them but I’m not that dedicated. This isn’t related to the specific thing we’re reading, it's just on the brain right now. It’s a fun way to think about how character philosophies/personalities interact with each other.
Volume 1 complete! I like Meryl a lot more here. 98 gave me the wrong impression, I think, so seeing this stuff in its original context makes more sense. More often I find myself thinking “oh, that’s more reasonable than I thought.”
Overall I'm enjoying the manga more than I enjoyed my 98 rewatch so far. Once we get into the Meat I’ll probably like it more than Stampede (idk we’ll find out). It’s generally pretty rare for me to like manga more on account of whatever flavor of neurodivergent I am making it fucking impossible to focus on reading long enough for it to not be word soup. Knowing as much as I do about the adaptations is definitely helping with the reading comprehension.
Anyway, I've started coloring a few pages and I might start doing at least one or two per volume if time permits. Got carried away with these ones though. I’ll post them to the tag later.

Bitty! UnderEcstasy sans.
Tumblr media
Elastic! My baby… ❤️
this is Elastic from my wip au, UnderEcstasy. Well, a bitty version of him. I also have the prototype drawing of him, will obv change once I refine stuff more.
Elastic fun facts:
He loves pirate and sci-fi anything (movies, books, cartoons, comics)
He uses crutches to walk around, he can move on his own but it’s rather difficult for him.
He is the royal scientist/doctor of his au.
He loves botany and all things plants.
His dream is to one day leave the island and sail the oceans.
He once pushed himself and his brother off of a waterfall whilst on a wooden raft he made from logs lying around and spare rope. Papyrus is afraid of heights because of that.
Likes classical music and is intrigued by ballroom dancing.
Hates horror movies.
His dream date is a walk on the beach and kissing during sunset.
Is slowly coming to terms with the fact that he doesn’t have long to live, which leads to him becoming more reckless and cynical.
Is very self conscious, especially of his spore eye.
He wishes he could find a cure, and complete his families legacy. Plus save his brother and the rest of the underground.
He/Him pronouns.
Elastic Bitty! Notes:
He’s not terminally ill like his normal counterpart.
obsessed with Trigun (all versions).
Likes donuts because Vash also likes donuts.
He’s an emotional support bitty.
can walk without crutches but can’t run or climb, very lethargic.
Loves music and plants, will try to make you bouquets that symbolize how he feels towards you.
He learnt how to sew just to make an outer coat that resembles Vashes coat, made the glasses too but found them a struggle to wear.
Cuddle fest! Needs all the plushies in the world.
He can sing pretty well, likes karaoke.
Will try to learn any language you know.
He has lower magic than most bitties (not as low as Axe)
He loves lizards and scaly animals.
Meeting Bitty! Kraeplin would be awkward. He’s already standoffish to other bitties, Bitty! kraeplin being as weird as he is, would push Bitty! Elastic away.
He really wants to get into scrapbooking
He gets very worried to point of getting himself sick if his caretaker is I’ll. Even if it’s the common cold.
Very chill, very cute little buddy to hang with. Loves chilli.

Picard :3
aahh okay:
favorite thing about them: lord, where to start? honestly, i think my favorite is picard’s unwavering ability to stand up for what he believes in, even in the face of incredible people and beings and terrifying situations and seemingly hopeless odds. 
least favorite thing about them: is it bullshit to say nothing? one of the things i love about him is that he has flaws.
favorite line: oh man. there’s so many to choose from. it’s not really a line, but his speech in measure of a man where he’s going through data’s belongings in an effort to prove they have sentimental value to data really gets me every time i watch it.
brOTP: the big one is picard and data, but really it’s picard and every member of his crew
OTP: picard/q, obvs.
nOTP: i don’t really have one, but i never really cared about vash so i guess that’s it
random headcanon: in st: picard they mention that he’s considered starfleet’s point of contact with the q contiuum or something like that, so to me that means q and picard still go on dates from time to time
unpopular opinion: i...don’t really have one?
song i associate with them: i can’t think of any in particular
favorite picture of them: there’s this shot from all good things that i’m not gonna search for cuz it’s way way way back in my blog somewhere, that is picard looking up at q with this small, almost fond smile and yeah. it’s that.
