Okay, so, making a re-watch of Trigun Stampede, and knowing Kenji Muto (Director) and Yoshihiro Watanabe (Producer) said something about the anime being an experiencie, and not wanting to make the characters say and explain everything (thus they want us reading between the lines), I noticed a stupid thing that I LOVED (probably someone already pointed it out but whatever).
This part where Meryl and Roberto split up from Vash, and he said to Wolfwood they were not friends, hurt a lot and left me very sad.
At first, I was disappointed. However, getting to know Vash more, I began to understand him. He always tries to distance himself from humans, even though he loves them so much, because they always end up getting hurt in some way as a result of his presence. So, yes, I understood why he said that. He was drawing a line. “If I don’t call them friends, they can’t get hurt”. Plus the fact that he’s 150 years old, so he probably sees these things with very different lens.
BUT. This part here. In episode 9, when Vash asks "about the others well fare" after the incident.
She calls them “his friends”.
At first, he is confused, because, as I said, he draws such a strict line in his mind, he can’t actually recognize them as such, at least consciously.
BUT HE DOESN’T DENY IT THIS TIME. AND HE SMILES WITH SOFTNESS IN HIS EYES.
I know what you did here, Studio Orange. I know it was intentional, these two conversations about friends. They are connected.
I love my poor depressed boy Vash so much and I want him to be happy.

vaguing a post that's on my dash that I don't want to engage with (as usual) but actually no CPTSD isn't a diagnosis for 'when things were a tiny bit bad a lot' or 'if you experienced relationships that were toxic but not abusive' it's a diagnosis describing the impacts of CONTINUOUS TRAUMA. not less significant but more frequent trauma; trauma which is ongoing/continuous/recurring in developmental years.
like I'm not trying to gatekeep here and I recognise the value of saying 'it doesn't have to be a Single Big Obvious Trauma' because one key thing about CPTSD is that generally it makes traumatic incidents Your Normal so you don't necessarily view them as unusual or concerning. but I often see people talk about CPTSD as if it implies smaller individual incidents than PTSD and that just is not the case.
most experiences I have seen people be diagnosed with CPTSD for (myself included) are not 'a little bit toxic'. they are things which, each incident taken separately, an outsider would still recognise as traumatic - medical emergencies, rape and sexual abuse, significant physical violence, emotional abuse and coercive control, homelessness, severe poverty, war, torture, etc - and the thing that makes the PTSD C is not the relative level of the trauma, but the fact that it's enough of a repeated and consistent pattern, at an early enough stage, and sufficiently embedded in everyday life, that it becomes a person's baseline for 'normal'.
CPTSD is not a synonym for emotional microtraumas or cumulative trauma or 'death by a thousand cuts'. It's specifically defining the psychological differences in response to long term formative trauma as opposed to traumatic events which you process as an aberration (eg the difference between regular violence against you from trusted adults in childhood vs being physically abused for the first time in adulthood with existing experience of healthy relationships). Traumas causing CPTSD tend to be pretty similar in type, scale and severity to traumas causing standard PTSD - they are just more embedded and normalised earlier in life.
all this to say there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that cumulative microtraumas can't affect us in traumatic ways. there's nothing wrong with pointing out that there's a broad range of types of trauma, and trauma can include stuff like growing up marginalised or ill as well as abuse, war, injury or immediate loss. there's nothing wrong, too, with acknowledging that a lot that is traumatic doesn't necessarily feel traumatic to you.
but like. no. CPTSD is not a diagnosis for people whose trauma wasn't 'big enough' for PTSD. CPTSD is not cumulative microtraumas. CPTSD is a response to formative macrotraumas or to a long term traumatic situation without hope of escape or change and if you want to talk about microtraumas then do that but it's not what CPTSD is!
