[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. It’s two 3 panel comics that illustrates the same sequence. The first focuses on Vash. In the first panel, he’s in a hurried motion with a worried expression. In the second, he’s stopped, huffing a breath out as he’s scanning for Wolfwood (not pictured). In the final panel, he breaks out into a relieved smile, eyes lighting up with warm cheeks.

The second comic focuses on Wolfwood. In the first panel, he’s looking downwards to the right with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a neutral expression. On his face are notable scratch marks to indicate him being in a fight prior. In the second panel, he turns towards the viewer, lifting his head as he notices Vash (as from the previous sequence). In the final panel, he smiles warmly with teeth and holds up a peace sign. END ID]

[ID: Sketchy black and white drawings of Vash and Wolfwood, continuing off the comic. Wolfwood’s back is to the viewer while Vash’s profile can be seen, now by Wolfwood’s side. He has a bright smile as he says to Wolfwood, “You’re safe!” Wolfwood responses, bearing a grin too, “Who do ya think yer talking to? ‘Course I am. Look, I got them alive.” He points to two figures who are tied up and have comically large head bumps. Vash looks to them with an uncertain expression as he says, “Oh! You did, huh… Are you sure they’re alive?” Wolfwood, with a more irritated expression, responds “What, didn’t think I could do it?” Vash says, “No, no! I knew you could!” and pats Wolfwood on the cheek and his head comfortingly. END ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #vw running around towns doing little odd jobs and getting caught up in townsfolk conflict when someone gets taken hostage or smth... #solving it with a little bit of violence but ultimately everyone is alive and well and it's over in like 20 mins before they go about the #rest of their day. i feel like that kind of mundanity or chaos if something that vash is a little used to but probably not wolfwood #i dont think he'd be getting dragged out on assassination quests like every 2 days prior to vash but i also think he'd have left towns #quickly. chatted with townsfolk but ultimately stayed in his lonesome. had more time to stew in his own thoughts and when he does get a job #to kill it's something that weighs on his mind for days. regardless of how chaotic is with vash i like to think it's a lot more healing #then what he's been accustomed to. at the end of the day they get a few scuffs and brusies but theyre alive!!! and no lives were lost #and theyre within reach of each other and get to chat about the stupid shit vash dragged them into. in another life wolfwood would #probably be happy doing just that #ruporas art

Wally goes "we could get divorced" and Barnaby gets legitimately sad like:

#wally: uhhhhhh. um. i think i left the oven running #barnaby: YOU DONT BAKE- GET BACK HERE AND ANSWER THE QUESTION #in human au barnaby's ideal world he can marry both his platonic life-partner And the love of his life #but the american government says No smh #my heart goes out to polyams everywhere #fuckkkkk getting unwell about this aus barnaby and wally again everyone #like i have so many different little plot lines and mini aus for the au #like what if there was a covid arc? #in my mind lockdown happens while wally is Elsewhere #so he cant exactly get back home! and obviously no one is happy about that but wally is dealing well enough #but barnaby's like 🥺 my lil buddys out there all on his own and im alone here so im gonna call him every day #(also i like to think that howdy spends lockdown w/ barn or vice-versa but this aint about that) #wally: vibing #barnaby: a bit of a wreck #absolutely unprompted #wh modern human au #but then also Angsty Thoughts of yo when they all get old uhhh who dies first #and In My Mind! they both die within a few days of each other #maybe barnaby goes first and wally just. pines away. broken heart syndrome babey! #also having soft thoughts of them when they first became friends #barnaby taking him to the farm and introducing him to the animals <3 #wally trying to help out with morning chores after a sleepover <3 #ms. beagle absolutely adoring wally and always having his favorite snacks In Stock for whenever he comes by <3 #that one time barnaby broke somebody's jaw for going a little too far w/ insulting wally & almost got expelled <3 #mannn they're so! honestly goals #oh and later on when they have their own place wally having his own lil art studio #and barnaby continuing to be his go-to muse <3 #wally probably has so much fuckign art of barnaby lmao #OHHHHH AND THE CAR CRASH ARCCCCC DONT EVEN GET ME FUCKIGN STARTED #EMOTIONS CENTRAL THAT IS

Defo the robo hand fidgets! Sprout fidgeting with his own prosthetic hand whenever he is nervous, scared, or uncomfortable in any form! Usually includes squeezing his flesh hand with the robo one, picking underneath and around the finger joints especially, or just holding the hands together and rubbing them. Something something the arm in general is just a massive comfort for him and he enjoys feeling it there

Though this also extends to Poptart, at least in my brain since it was never shown directly in the comic before I took sprouts arm haha. Poptart would also enjoy taking sprouts robot hand and fidgeting with it in some way if the hand was not occupied. Something something wanted to get used to what the metal would feel like since he would soon get one

Yes the Casey in that timeline is also grown up! I have a tiny plotline about this in my head but I am unsure if it will make it to comic form, but to put it short he left the main base to explore what was left of its world

and the thing is that dick *did* need tim's emotional support and help during the beginning of the batman reborn era because dick's life was also falling apart and they did need to help each other badly and tim leaving him to fix everything and handle the city and damian by himself *was* mean and a bit selfish, but also if tim had stayed to do this, there would have been no real chance for good independent growth for himself (in-universe and narratively speaking) and staying to help dick manage the city would have also meant deprioritizing his own wants and continuing to push down his own grief to do what's best for the greater good and ignoring both his suspicions and what he felt he needed to do at the time (search for bruce, prove himself right, have a breakdown around the world as he figured out his place in it) to focus instead on prioritizing what was currently best for current batman/dick's sake. which is just. kind of a continuation of what he's done/tried to do since he showed up in alpod. (would therapy probably have been a healthier option to move past this? well, yes, but unhealthy coping mechanisms or gtfo frankly) (anyways despite the fact he left to ostensibly find bruce, which is still batman related, leaving is still what allowed tim to get into situations that made him solidify himself as the person he wanted to be moving forth into adulthood + get to the point where he is still helping batman but also is starting to prioritize himself over prioritizing batman's needs so leaving was the objectively correct decision for himself)

anyways, they were both doing the equivalent of putting on their own oxygen masks first here instead of prioritizing what the other felt they needed at the time. and that's okay. they're both allowed to be a bit selfish at this point.

#tangentially related this is also a bit why i can't necessarily vibe #with bruce is dead and tim is okay with being wrong and just comes back to help dick with gotham and everyone is better for it #where is the drama and conflict #why would tim's pride allow for this #tim was never mad at dick and will always love and support him #but that scenario doesn't really do anything of note for tim's character tbh it's uninteresting #really if he does survive brucequest but bruce is dead he should really go on his nightwing arc. #not become nightwing ofc but do what dick did and gtfo of gotham and come back to help only if batman/dick needs him for something #really try to carve his own place in the world separate from batman-dick to grow and come into his own #anyways thinking of potentially lingering tension in this arc (not ridiculous fanon tension) #where dick is a little annoyed that tim left him when he needed tim to go on a quest that led to nothing (also feels bad it didn't work out #and tim is too prideful and upset that he was wrong (and a bit ashamed for leaving when he was needed to go chase ultimately nothing) #and they're brothers they love each other so much but they can't talk about this because that would mean emotional conversations #and there's just a slight schism there. tim will always come for dick when dick calls. #but tim is also content to manage his bonds away from gotham - a place where he's just reminded of his failures #anyways there's a nice little alpod arc there with dick's potential second robin #bringing tim fully back into the fold #something something something

When they become such, there comes with the change the curse of immortality; they cannot die, but must go on age after age adding new victims and multiplying the evils of the world; for all that die from the preying of the Un-Dead becomes themselves Un-Dead, and prey on their kind. And so the circle goes on ever widening, like as the ripples from a stone thrown in the water. Friend Arthur, if you had met that kiss which you know of before poor Lucy die; or again, last night when you open your arms to her, you would in time, when you had died, have become nosferatu, as they call it in Eastern Europe, and would all time make more of those Un-Deads that so have fill us with horror. The career of this so unhappy dear lady is but just begun. Those children whose blood she suck are not as yet so much the worse; but if she live on, Un-Dead, more and more they lose their blood and by her power over them they come to her; and so she draw their blood with that so wicked mouth. But if she die in truth, then all cease; the tiny wounds of the throats disappear, and they go back to their plays unknowing ever of what has been.

It seems van Helsing's conception of the way vampirism spreads is very liberal. You don't need to do much special at all. If ever anyone is a victim of a vampire, then they too will eventually become a vampire. Based on what he thinks of Arthur's danger from the kiss, it might not necessarily even have to be from a bite. Or at least, maybe he thought she would bite him when she kissed him, and that would be all it takes.

He also believes that if the 'sire' is killed (to use pop culture vampire lingo which doesn't appear at all in this book I'm pretty sure), all the victims who are still alive will be saved. So long as they don't die before Lucy is killed, every one of the children she has drank from will remain human. But if any of them died, they would become a vampire even if they didn't die immediately or because of her feeding on them.

I don't know that I buy this, simply because it could lead to so exponential a growth of vampires. If this were the case then presumably all the people Dracula has killed thus far would become vampires. Well, maybe van Helsing thinks they only turn into vampires if they have been drunk from at least once, but even then it seems like there would be tons of vampires in Transylvania from Dracula's long life there. Maybe he knows about this and is selective in who he kills, or he somehow ensures they don't rise as vampires most of the time afterwards. But even then I feel like this theory needs some tweaking to make sense.

My personal belief is that death via blood loss is necessary to make a vampire. In rare cases it may be possible to circumvent that by turning them in some other way, but it has to be an intentional act. This definitely slows the spread of vampires but at least it explains why Dracula is so set on a particular prey until the end (in addition to him hating being denied what he wants).

#dracula daily #vampire abilities #van helsing #maybe also it could be you need to not die in the moment as the vampire is feeding from you #so like. the vampire infection has to incubate a little bit in a still-living victim before it takes over #so anyone who is killed in the moment won't turn. but people like lucy who was left just barely alive each time (only to die shortly) #would turn. and if dracula knows this and just himself kills everyone he doesn't wanna turn... #i could see something like that maybe

Just thought about sam coming back from work one day with a cute little cat because tara always wanted one.

Christina and Mr. Carpenter had no intention of taking care of another creature, so they never got one. The closest thing tara got to a pet was a small teddy bear plushie sam won for her when they were kids.

But today, on her way back home from work, sam saw a cute kitty on the sidewalk. She saw its cute brown eyes begging her not to leave, they reminded her a lot of tara's. Then she noticed that the little cat had a small scar on its paw (just like her little sister), and that's when she decided this cat was meant to be theirs.

Sam has noticed that tara has been feeling lonely lately, chad and mindy are coming over less often because chad is still recovering and mindy is spending time taking care of her brother and sam is always at work or at therapy.

Maybe a cute little friend would be helpful.

#as someone that is often left at home alone and as a cat owner i can confirm that my 4 little kitties make me feel a lot less lonely #so this is pretty much based on that #also sam will definitely become a little bit jealous of how much attention tara gives the cat #and the cat is called mia from now on (just like mine) #AND IT'S A VERY GOOFY CAT #and because of that tara loves her even more and makes her feel like she's a kid all over again #mia has abandonment issues just like tara. So they both they never leave each other's sides #tara carpenter #sam carpenter #carpenter sisters

let's throw a curve ball (is that the right metaphor? I know nothing) 21 and/or 16 for the Caleb/WD* au

*Willie's Dad ;P

How do I even explain this AU? Well, Yeo wrote in some fic or tags something about Caleb being Willie's stepdad and it spiraled from there.

Today had been awesome. He had spent the morning skating around town, landing some sick tricks, and then he and Alex had a date. They'd gone to a cute little cafe and a music store and gotten ice cream together and talked and talked and kissed for hours.

So yeah, Willie had an excellent day.

Until he came home and found his dad making out with his dance teacher in the kitchen. Like, full on making out, with tongues and teeth and rucked up shirts and in the kitchen where Willie made his sandwiches.

"What the fuck?" he blurted out, because seriously, what the fuck?

"Willie!" Dad said, and gross, his lips are all shiny and his face is all flushed. "Okay, so, I can explain..."

"IN THE KITCHEN?" Willie shouted instead, because well. He knew his dad wasn't straight. And had recently started dating again. Though could he have found anyone else to date besides his dance teacher? "With my dance teacher? Really dad? You couldn't just go on the apps like a normal person?"

"Well actually," Caleb started, and Willie decided he really didn't want to hear the rest of that story. And Caleb wasn't his teacher here, so Willie didn't have to listen to him. So he covered his ears and shouted 'ew ew ew' all the way to his room.

He hid under the covers, trying to wrap his head around this. He pulled Lancelot close, burying his face in the plush dragon's soft stomach.

He'd told dad he was fine with him dating. And he was. But why did it have to be his teacher? What if they broke up and Willie had to switch dance schools? Or worse, what if they stayed together and Willie still had to switch because of bias or something? Those classes were cut-throat sometimes, and he could see the dance moms out for blood if Willie got a part they wanted their kid to have and they found out Caleb was dating Willie's dad.

Because it wasn't like he disliked Caleb, or anything. Sure, he was a little extra sometimes, but that's part of what made class fun. And he never got weird about gender stuff, all parts were cast based only on talent. The dress code was lax, and the rules weren't so stifling they made dancing un-fun, unlike some of the other studios Willie had tried.

Also Caleb was just really cool and accepting. And funny, in a snarky way. And he never let anyone get away with any kind of bullying. And when Willie was having trouble with a certain part of the routine, he let Willie stay after class and worked with him on it.

So okay, maybe Willie understood those were all things that could be nice for a boyfriend to have. Alex was also cool, and funny, and kind, and principled. But still... the kitchen. Where they ate.

There was a knock on the door, and Willie grumbled out a 'whaaat'. Because he wasn't actually mad at his dad or anything.

"I brought you Oreos as a peace offering," his dad said, sticking his head through the door.

Willie sat up, pouting. "You may enter," he allowed, making grabby hands. He had no idea where Dad had hid those from him, because usually Oreos didn't last in this house.

Dad sat on the bed with him, forking over the goods. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Caleb sooner," he said, as soon as Willie's face was stuffed with cookies so he couldn't talk back. His dad was a wily one. "We really wanted to make sure we had something before we told you."

"Do you?" Willie asked.

The way his dad's face turned shy and happy at the same time said everything Willie needed to know. "I think so. I really like him, Willie."

"Uh yeah, I could tell," Willie said, because while he was happy for his dad, he did Not Want To See That. The shy smile turned into an embarrassed grimace. "Two rules. One: no matter what happens, you won't make me switch dance classes, and Caleb won't be weird about it."

"I promise," Dad said, holding out his pinkie. Willie hooked his pinkie around it, and they shook on it. "What about the second rule?"

"No sex in the kitchen!" Willie said. "Or any of the shared living spaces! No sex on the couch, or in the garden, or on the stair case, or wherever else you two want to get nasty."

His dad sighed, but held his pinkie out again. Only when he promised that did Willie deign to share his Oreos.

#julie and the phantoms #willie throckmorton #fanfic #willie's dadxcaleb #I wrote a thing #listen they already knew each other and probably flirted a bit #and then they saw each other on grindr and welllll #caleb 100% does not change a single thing about how he treats Willie in dance class #so much so that everyone thinks Willie's stepdad is just some other dude named Caleb #not their dance teacher #Caleb thinks this is absolutely hilarious and will 100% talk about WD's OTHER MAN #queue Willie being like: SORRY I'M LATE CALEB MY STEP DAD WAS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE ME BUT HE LEFT WITHOUT ME #Caleb's like: what a horrible man just leaving you like that (you were 15 minutes late you little shit)

Productivity

ENTJ: Do you know those moments when you’ve got so much to do that you have no idea where to even start and so you start making a list of things that are too unimportant to waste your time on right now? But at the same time you’re wasting time by not working on the things that actually are important. You’re just making lists of all the tiny aspects of your work that you can throw out just to make yourself feel like you’re doing something.

INFJ: No, I don’t know those moments. I’m less productive, you see. When I’m overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do, I panic and stare at the wall for three hours.

ENTJ: You’ve been doing that a lot lately, haven’t you?

INFJ: ... yes.

#i feel like it has to be said that we only had this conversation because entj didn't have the motivation to work anymore today #so he came to my office to make me procrastinate with him together for an hour and then he left to do the same to our estj co-worker #he's such an idiot i love talking to him #every time i meet another NJ (which happens like once every 100 years) i slightly lose it a little #because talking to someone else with Ni is like suddenly being allowed to breathe #suddenly there's someone who actually speaks your language and there's never just one second of silence because there's so much to say!! #(is that how people with more common functions get to feel frequently? like SPs meeting other SPs? SJs meeting SJs?) #also it's very funny to be on the receiving end of the Ni stare because all of us NJs do that #so whenever you see two (not romantically involved) people just staring at each other's eyes for two hours you've found two NJs #my intj brother has a problem with eye contact actually but he STILL DOES THIS just not when you're looking too #this has nothing to do with the post but you know me #maybe i'll do a more elaborate post about the ni stare at some point #also i'm gonna post the list with the writer interviews very soon took a bit longer than i had anticipated and i still only have one isfp #but oh well what can you do #mbti #mbti conversations #entj #infj

hello. i am having severe feverish g/ojo thoughts.

"You mean him severely fevered, or that the thoughts are se-"

Yes.

#thats it thats the post thats all ive got #there is an image of his normally pale face flushed #all the angles standing out with each brilliant curve illuminated from the warm glow #sweat soaked hair clinging to his forehead as his normally playful mask is slipping #tongue peeking out through his teeth as he sucks in sharp breaths trying to retain what little control he has left #the world around him starting to feel a bit further away #he can't seem to quite focus enough to pick individual shapes out from the masses #im so out of my mind right now but i just cant stop thinking about this #if i could draw better... you better believe i would be drawing this... #i might do it anyways but unlikely because the image is so pure in my head and i dont want to dirty it #ANYWAYS im posting this here because uhhhhh well honestly because i just need to say it somewhere its rotting my soul

Decided to check out the audio drama Fawx & Stallion this weekend and GUYS... guys this show is SO FUNNY. I couldn't stop laughing for the first three episodes straight.

It's the story of some wannabe detectives living in Victorian London. Specifically, they live at 224B Baker Street, just across the street from a certain pair of decidedly more famous detectives--and they're sick and tired of having all their potential cases scooped by Sherlock Fucking Holmes. Luckily for them, while Holmes and Watson are out of town looking into some matter about a dog, a new case comes along and drops--by default--into our would-be heroes' laps.

And just who are these aspiring crime-solvers?

Hampton Fawx: detective and gentleman. What he lacks in common sense he makes up for with raw theater-kid enthusiasm.

James Stallion: gentleman and detective. A loyal friend and companion when he's not being a self-important arse. Runs on approximately 20% gin and 80% spite.

and finally Madge: neither gentleman nor detective. She's just been stood up by her date and she's going to make that everyone else's problem. She'll agree to help on this case just for the Drama.

It's a hysterical romp so far. A lighthearted farce set just offscreen from Holmes' own capers (for now!). Our main trio lacks even a single braincell to share between them, but by GOD they're going to solve this case and I'm going to be cheering them on the whole way there!

From what I can tell, new episodes are typically every other Monday, but the show's on a short hiatus for the holidays, to return in 2023. The first five are currently available to listen to, though, and I highly recommend it!

#Fawx & Stallion #certain details omitted so as not to spoil the little ep1 surprises :3c #this is a fun one to go into without much prior knowledge so if you're sold then please check it out now!! #I don't want to rob anyone of the gleeful little gasps that I let out as certain details came to light #but if you would like a few tiny spoilers to give you some more miscellaneous character info: #Hampton is asexual (I did not know this going in and it took me a bit to pick up on it but it is alluded to already in the show!) #James and Madge are legally married (which is why I left her surname out of the main post) but #they're both gay and happily pursuing other relationships with each other's blessing. #James is in a committed relationship (basically reads as married) to an Inspector from Scotland Yard and they're disgustingly cute together #his partner Archie is extremely long-suffering because Hampton and James' antics end up getting them in trouble more often than not #and Archie has to clean up their messes without seeming like he's showing favoritism. #(that description sounds like it could be tense but it's actually more in the tone of sitcom hijinks. it's lighthearted and hilarious) #and Madge is a complete disaster lesbian who apparently has an on-again-off-again relationship with Martha across the street #yes THAT Martha across the street #and anyway the three of them--Hampton James and Madge--all just share a flat with an ancient cat and #spend their days drinking booze and amateur boxing and bitching about Holmes and Watson #it's great. please give it a listen :)

#just want to sit in this moment; marinate in it a bit #i just love when they talk about justice and vengeance and morality and just stare at each other a little #(them at their most two/six tbh) #it's just a very evenly matched discussion and it usually doesn't actually go anywhere - neither of them convinces the other of anything #(at least at this point) but i like that too because you still see the effect they have on each other's thinking without spelling it out #on the other hand...i don't have a lot of 'wish they-'s for this show (ok that's a lie i have many) #but one of my most....personal? niche? idk is i wish there had been some sort of jane-lisbon bottle episode #(i wish there were many jane-lisbon bottle episodes tbh i love bottle episodes) #where they're just like...stuck somewhere together and they spend the whole time debating red john and justice etc etc #idk i just think it'd be neat #(and ok yes maybe it'd be even better if they were stuck somewhere like a closet and after the debate they're left with that tension #plus the tension that naturally comes when two people who kind of want to jump each other's bones get stuck somewhere like a closet) #but anyway--- #tm #(wow i used the word ‘just’ like 17 times here huh)
