[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. The illustration takes place during the ship/home arc, specifically chapter 21. At the center, Vash is grabbing Wolfwood by the collar and pulls him into a kiss in the middle of a celebration. The pair is colored in vibrant warm hues while their surroundings are colored in cooler colors like green and teals. Luida, Brad, Meryl, and Milly are shown amongst the crowd, occupied in the celebrations as Vash and Wolfwood share a moment by themselves at the center. END ID]

#vashwood #trigun #trigun maximum #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #hospital yuri (explodeds) like any average vw enjoyer i will never get over that arc #specifically the scene where they heard the news of earth ships coming and did that little handshake they somehow conjured or #Had already. and then the entire ship had a party... meryl and milly started drinking immediately from joy and dragged vash and ww to get #wasted too and overall celebrate together. the chapter moves quickly just like how the hope was quickly withered out and died just hours #later when knives destroyed it. BUT IM JUST THINKING ABOUT IN THE MOMENT OF IT ALL bc in the same chapter #ww asks for a chance for tomorrow and then gets news of earth ships coming. in this same arc vash is thinking of all the things he needs to #resolve so his home doesn't get attacked so the people he love doesn't have to die and the humans he wants to protect gets to live. #i feel like deep down they both semi-recognize that it can't be this easy and regardless of earth ships coming- there's still a wait for #them to arrive and they have to hold out. and regardless ww still has a mission to follow through and vash knows knives would find out #but in that mood of celebration the entire ship brought in - they can at least let themselves relax for a moment and indulge #how they basically engaged with no violence for the few days they were on that ship coaxing them into domesticity... i feel like their #thoughts would wander to somewhere soft and all #allowing them to push aside the tiptoeing and tenseness and be sweet for a night #ruporas art

Fictober23 Prompt: 12 - "I am not saying I didn't like it."

Fandom: DPxDC

Rating: T

Warnings: -

Danny grinned at Jason who was sitting across from him on the table. Before the other a plate of… something was placed, accompanied by a cup of tea. Danny's first attempt at cooking. Jason had not managed to escape the Manor in time and had been unlucky enough to come across Danny, Alfred's new assistant / ward entrusted to him from an old 'friend'.

Of course Danny had to have that stupid baby deer and begging eye looks as he pleaded to Jason to please try his cooking and help him work out how to make it better so that he could help out Alfred more in the future. Jason was going to say no but the other teen was very insistent and had an iron grip.

He was pretty sure Danny had cut off his arms blood circulation when he had gotten dragged to the kitchen. Either way he was now presented with something that looked inedible and a tea that smelled heavenly.

"Try it!" Danny smiled brightly and damit, maybe his brothers were right saying he was a good damn pushover. Jason swallowed, looking from Danny's bright eyes down at the plate before him.

"Fuck it…" If it tasted bad he would wash it down with the heavenly smelling tea. He stabbed something on the plate, ignored the fact that he was entirely sure he had seen it wiggle and stuffed it in his mouth, eyes tightly shut.

He waited for the bad taste to impact.

And waited.

And waited.

But it never game, carefully he opened one eye seeing Danny staring expectantly at him. Carefully he started chewing and his eye widened. Not expecting to taste what he did, Jason stared at the dish before him that he could only describe as the stew of doom.

"Well? How does it taste! Is it as good as Mr. Alfred's stew?"

"How the fuck…" was the only thing Jason was able to say still not believing his taste buds. Stil in disbelief Jason then took a sip of the heavenly smelling tea and promptly spit it out like it had burned his tongue, just not with the temperature but with its taste. He coughed, hitting the table a couple of times. His eyes teared up as he stared at the sheepish teen before him.

"What the fuck, Danny?" He wheezed out, trying to catch his breath after the coughing fit.

"I was sure you were going to like ecto-tea, considering you already have ectoplasm in your system. You didn't appear to mind it in the food."

Jason's eye twitch. "You mixed fucking ectoplasm into this food?"

If Alfred weren't so fond of this boy Jason would have punched him already. Sure Danny was a good damn enigma and when Alfred had introduced them the teen had freaked out on Jason about how he had not treated his apparent sickness before proceeding to explain to Alfred and Bruce that Jason apparently needed something called ectoplasm to stay healthy. That been a fucking ordeal, Jason certainly didn't want to repeat. Plus point was that this ectoplasm did indeed cure his Pit Madness, bad point was he had to take something that looked like fucking Pit Water on a regular basis.

And now Danny was apparently using him as his experimental guinea pig for his ectoplasm cooking. He could have at least said something about having it put into the food and tea. At least the teen looked somewhat apologetic at the glare Jason was sending him.

"Sorry… you just always made a face when you had to take the ectoplasm, so I tried making it taste better for you." He couldn't help it as he ruffled the others hair earning a pout in return. The teen reminded him of his brothers, if Alfred hadn't claimed Danny already as his, Jason was sure Bruce would have attempted to adopt Danny.

"I am not saying I didn't like it. Just don't put ectoplasm in tea anymore." He stabbed with his fork into the wiggling food to emphasize his next words When he lifted it he raised an eyebrow at the wiggling goob of something, that apparently doesn't taste as bad as it looks. "It's better in the food, despite causing it to look like something you shouldn't eat."

There was a crash behind him in the kitchen area right after he had placed the fork in his mouth and Jason arched an eyebrow at the suddenly very nervous looking Danny.

"What was that?" Jason asked, his eyebrow going even higher as Danny suddenly pulled out a green glowing steak knife out of seemingly nowhere.

"Nothing!"

Another crash resounded behind him and Jason was very tempted to turn around to see what caused it. But before he could, the green steak knife flew right past his head. "Nothing? Are you sure?"

"Uhm well… I might have kept quiet about a side effect ectoplasm can have on food." Another crash and Jason wondered if this was why Danny had waited for Alfred to be out of the Manor on errands before he attempted to cook.

"I won't say anything to Alfred as long as you don't use the good steak knives."

"Deal." Danny then proceeded to pull out the Demon Brat's throwing knives. Wide eyed Jason watched how Danny jumped over the table into the kitchen area, he turned in his seat to continue watching but found that Danny had disappeared chasing whatever had caused the crashing sounds.

"Demon Brat is going to bust a blood vessel, no one touches his blades." Jason muttered, turning back to his wiggling but actually good tasting food, deciding that for now, he would ignore the fact that Danny 100% was not a normal teen Alfred had taken in for a friend. If his knowledge about this ectoplasm was't enough to tip them off then the way had moved and used the blades just now definitely would and had.

Taking another bite, Jason marbled at the taste before he chuckled and wondered what would happen first. Him and his siblings figuring out what was up with Danny, the Demon Brat attempting to stab Danny for having used his throwing knives, or Danny figuring out their nightlife activities and the reason why Damian owned throwing knives in the first place.

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.

Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.

Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.

#millions knives #trigun #tristamp #trimax #i hate this man but also i adore him #or at least i adore grinding his psyche between my teeth #guy has so much crunch to him #the worst possible man to me i need to ruin his life #i gotta say that when i first got into trigun the overall tone coming from the fanbase did soften me up to get absolutely demolished by #literally all the fucked up things happening all the time #but i see less ppl horrified about the fucked up things knives does to the sisters he claims to be protecting than i expected?? #which idk feels like a waste #also saw someone who said who doesn't like a villain who just wants to protect his sisters and dude if that is what protection looks like #id rather be thrown to the wolves #he is so fascinating to me but also i understand him on a molecular level and thats why i hate him so much but again #crunchy guy #nai saverem #vash's mommy issues have nothing on knives i can prove it ( i cannot but i can infer and i can dream)

hey

hey

guess what i just noticed

the placement of the blood trail makes it look like he's crying ❤️

#trigun #trimax #millions knives #trigunbookclub #i'm p sure they're still having the after party #he is NOT gonna cry he isn't he buried that part of himself already #and why would he cry when he's doing something that needs to be done he has to be STRONG for THEM #because hes doing this for his family as much as hes doing it for himself (rem included until she doesn't get into the escape pod) #but oh my g-d he is so so so scared and stressed and conflicted

Alright, but the facial journey Klaus goes through when Lila threatens him out of talking to Diego... The sass in his little lip smack, the little head bobble before "yeah, sure"... If I knew how to gif from Netflix, I would. Screenshots don't do it justice.

Klaus, babe, the sassy "bitch, please" is so loud. Just say it. You are being threatened. Just. Speak your mind. Penny for your thoughts. I'm begging you to stop going along to get along all the time. You look like you're about to bite someone.

#no i get why he doesn't. prob doesn't want to ruin the wedding for luther. #but also sdkflskd KLAUS PLEASE. #anyway i love lila but oh. her romance with diego has so many unaddressed red flags and he's oblivious. #i think. genuinely. i think that diego would've been pretty ticked off if he knew she did this. #well. the way diego was written in s1 would be anyway. rip. #anyway klaus' response would make such a good reaction gif. #out of knives [ooc];

watched berserk (97) on a whim after reading someone's tags on a writing advice post on how to justify Big Fucking Swords in stories. have started reading the manga. there's a lot of triggering visuals to me so i imagine this is what it's like to be lactose intolerant and decide to eat so so so much ice cream

#IM SURE ILL BE FINE... maybe it'll even be good exposure therapy to me #i mean the level of gore is not worse than unsounded #but the art style - while technically rly impressive and good - DOES hit that uncanny valley horror style #and the anime had too low of a budget to animate much more than blood spray ahaha #the anime works SO WELL as a self contained tragedy damn #sure yes the ending was very abrupt and that episode fucked me up a little but that doesn't make it bad hahaha #only thing i knew about berserk beforehand is that there's a guy named guts who has a sword and is super enemies with the most beautiful ma #who's also super mega evil even if he has very pretty hair #thankfully there was another blonde twink for me to imprint on AND he throws knives so this is great #but truly. what if all you knew were to be a sword #what if the only way you knew how to love someone was as a sword #what if your sword decided to be a person after all. to be your equal. to be loved better #WHAT DO YOU MEAN BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN THE BAD THINGS HAPPENING ANIME. #what if your sunken cost is actually a literal mountain of corpses. #haiz reads berserk

Yet another Glass Onion post

People on here and on Twitter being like “omds can’t believe Rian Johnson predicted elon musk” bro? Do you think musk only started being an idiot when he bought twitter? Or that people only just realised his stupidity?

musk has always been an idiot and people have known this for a long fuckin while. The thai football team pedo scandal, the uglass truck, teslas blowing up, the shattered “unbreakable” window?

This is the same shit as when people are like “ooh dystopian novel x totally predicted y” No, it was commenting on shit that was happening in the contemporary society

It’s a great movie but it didn’t predict shit

#glass onion #knives out #elon musk #idk why im so pressed #same shit when people found zach fox tweet about kanye being like omg how did he know #cause kanye was acting a fool saying shit like slavery was a choice #do y'all think the apex is the only part of the fucking mountain?? #and ofc he's always had his defenders but ffs #the whole buying the title of founder instead of actually inventing anything thing has been known #the fact that he has a billi kids that he doesn't take care of has been known #the fact that he inherited wealth from his dad's emerald mine in apartheid era south africa has been known #so what exactly did RJ predict???? #like azelia banks wasn't calling him apartheid clyde years ago

#trigun #trigun stampede #ok but go with me on this #knives comes back after causing the big fall #and he's repentant #he begs vash for forgiveness #he just wanted to reintegrate into ship life again #(of course vash is ecstatic about this) #he just has one request #he demands that everyone call him spoons now #because he doesn't want to be associated with knives anymore #do you think vash would just role with it?? #like sure whatever you say bro I'm just glad you stopped genociding #or would he try to talk him out of it #bro..... people are looking at you funny #you should probably just confess to the genocide it would be less embarrassing

[jeweled-blue-eyes]

excuse me, did Nai actually ever love his brother? or did he always love only an image made up in his mind? I'm thinking back to the flashbacks of their childhood. Nai didn't know Vash had any powers. There was already a power imbalace laid out from the start. How Nai empathizes that Vash is something weak that needs to be protected and doesn't know what's good for him. "You'll never find happiness that way. I had to protect you."/"You really can't do anything without me." How Vash had sort of internalized this. N: "You're always thinking about eating." V: "Well, sorry that's all I'm good for." Before their falling out we've never seen them disagreeing with each other or have a healthy sibling fight. Nai told Vash what to do and Vash followed.

It's not that Vash needs Nai (at least not to the extend that Nai wants to make Vash believe). It's that Nai desperately needs to be needed by Vash. He doesn't need an independent Vash, he doesn't need a Vash that is everyone's best friend, truthfully if Vash's powers weren't crucial to his plans he wouldn't want Vash to be powerful either I suspect. Unless he is the one controlling Vash and forcing him to use the powers against his will. Did he ever even knew his brother? Because he fundamentally misunderstands the motivation for his words and actions. "Without any powers you are too weak to live. That's why you craved the love of humans over all else. You needed to smile, show your charme and behave like a harmless pet." He thinks Vash acts likeable solely for survival and not because he wants to be liked. Because he craves love.

Why is it so hard for him to accept that Vash wants other people's love, even of those that aren't useful at all? He also wanted Vash's love back then when he thought he was useless. Is it that incomprehensible to him why one would enjoy the company of people that are not related to you? If he thinks humans only love themselves, and if he tends to judge others by his own standards, doesn't this mean that he loves Vash only as an extension of himself based on his willingness to remove any part of his brother that is not in sync with him?

#trigun stampede #millions knives #vash the stampede #vash disagrees with nai on something and nai's first thought is that that woman must have bewitched his brother somehow #thinks his brother is sick and needs to be cured just because he has no other explanation for why #his own flesh and blood his twin would 'betray' him #he doesn't treat this as them growing apart but as if a part of his body isn't moving like he wants #and he puts himself under the knife #he doesn't recognize what he does as a gross violation of vash's bodily autonomy because he already sees vash as part of himself #there's no need to ask for consent

I just know Duke loves celebrating the Ides of March

#the void screams #ides of march #duke thomas #i think he should send bruce ominous messages leading up to the day #nothing happens but bruce is looking over his shoulder for a prank the entire day #and SOMEONE left foam knives around in every single office in gotham but know one knows who. #the real scary one was the steak knife lex luthor found sitting innocently on his desk when he got to lexcorp that morning #none of the actual details get out but lex does spin the story to the press as 'receiving violent death threats' #tim is offended that he wasn't in on the celebrations of the ides of march. 'it's not my fault you didn't know we were celebrating' #'WHO'S WE' 'us.' 'AUGH' #(us is duke referring to tumblr as a whole but also to steph) #i maintain my headcanon that duke and steph are the only bats with tumblr #dick doesn't like social media but he has a facebook because a job had a work group once #jason uses instagram to take aesthetic pictures of his knives and give them captions from classic literature. usually with ominous vibes. #tim has twitter and reddit and loves egging on batman conspiracies. #cass doesn't use social media but she has a tumblr because steph has a tumblr. #damian has a tiktok that he uses just to look at videos of cats. #this is off topic but i digress #duke celebrating ides of march. you agree.

in order to like john the beloved you have to hate him first and then love him for who he is which is the world's most annoying freak

#🧅 #maybe only second to judas. affectionate. #it's john judas mary beth. the holy trinity of fucking. weird ass disciples who are a little too into jesus #wrote he's god's favorite in the holy texts. insufferable little man #god i HAVE to have mary beth and john interact. i feel like they'd like each other since judas doesn't like either of them. #they're forming an alliance. #it's okay judas can team up with martha #and also zee. who has knives. but he legally has to stay neutral because he's besties with james and john is his brother so. #no knives for judas. #which is probably for the best. #he shouldn't have the zealot on his side he's too petty . #not that john isn't

[blueskittlesart]

In defense of the original, while I do agree the episodic vibes were a bit much at times, and it was something I kinda had to work my way through slowly rather than binging all in one...

I do kinda prefer the more gradual approach to laying out the information; getting to know both the setting and who Vash is as a person and the different facets of both, before getting the context that lets it all click into place. Plus the main quartet having ample time to grow together so that later developments have stronger emotional weight.

I will agree that Knives definitely suffered in focus, and I am interested in how Stampede handles him, but admittedly he wasn't really what I watched Trigun for in the first place. ^^;

yeah my gripe is less with the way the setting and characters were handled and more with the way the. actual plot was handled. it honest to god felt to me like they realized about halfway through their run that they didnt have enough episodes left to get the backstory in in a cohesive way so they just shoved it all into one episode and pretended that that explanation didn't create more questions than it answered. you spend 20 episodes teasing your audience like "ooooh what is vash?? clearly hes not human!! clearly there's something going on!!! don't you want to know whats going on?? keep watching and you'll totally understand whats going on!!" and then your big reveal is that. He Is Not Human. which is something that any idiot who has watched the last 20 episodes has already figured out. the question the audience ACTUALLY has at that point in the runtime is what, EXACTLY, is vash, and what the context is behind the conflict he and knives are in. the backstory episode explains that Knives Is Here, and it gives context to the setting and everything, but it pissed me off that it STILL didn't answer the actual mysteries i cared about, i.e. vash's real identity and the thing with the gun and his fucking arm and knives's motivations and everything. maybe that gets answered in the last episode that i neglected to watch but personally I prefer a story where i UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON by the time the final confrontation hits. with trigun it got to a point where vash was going out for the final battle with knives and i STILL didn't know who vash was, who knives was, where they came from, or what the hell their motivations were. that just made that final confrontation seem so wholly uninteresting to me that i didn't even feel like watching it. it was like "hey look vash is fighting a cardboard cutout that he is Afraid Of. Why? lmao idk man. probably has something to do with that weird spaceship that shows up in one whole episode before this point. not going to tell you how tho." I think some writers have this tendency to think that mystery = good writing and that not revealing anything to your audience will consistently draw them in for more, but that only works for so long. after 20 episodes of virtually net 0 information it got to feel like I was being strung along and like my questions were never going to be answered, so I gave up on the show in the final hour. Again, i'm not saying it was BAD necessarily and i understand the context in terms of writing and production that led to the show being produced that way but i think it really noticeably suffers due to the fact that it refuses to give the audience ANYTHING but crumbs of information for about 80% of it's runtime. that being said. i did genuinely like a lot of it. it has its moments. im not trying to discourage anyone from watching it or anything lol i just think stampede is a little more successful in keeping the viewer engaged in the story throughout by constantly feeding you bits of information and actually answering your questions as they become plot-relevant.

#asks #wow hi. trigun essay intermission sorry everyone #this same thing applies to virtually every villain in the show. nick. zazzie. the guy with the blue hair whose name i dont even remember. #you get like. the barest snippets of information about them. you know theyre working for knives somehow #you know that they've been somehow modified? and that their titles identify them as relating to knives #in nick's case you know that his whole thing has something to do with the orphanage and the priesthood #but beyond that you get... nothing. and you're expected to just speculate?? figure it out somehow??? #nick especially pissed me off bc it got to a point where he was DEAD and i still didn't understand what the fuck his deal was #despite him being a supporting character for almost the entirety of the show. he still got only like half an episode dedicated to explainin #his backstory and motivations and EVERYTHING. and then he DIED #and like. to be fair. i think the lack of explanation worked in some places. it worked decently with vash #but it worked with vash BECAUSE vash is pretty much an open book as a character. you can easily tell what he's thinking and feeling #and it's not hard to extrapolate things about him from what you see. his pacifism. the fact that he's not human. his past trauma etc etc #you can get a good portion of that just by watching him throughout the show #but i think that only works BECAUSE he shows so much of himself. for a character like nick who is deliberately closed off #and NEVER shows his true self expecting the audience to be able to understand & empathize with him based solely on what he projects #just doesn't work. because it's made clear to the audience from the getgo that nick is not the person he claims he is #and that he takes steps to never show too much of himself. so when his backstory shows up randomly in one episode #and then he immediately dies. it leaves you kinda like. okay. what the hell was that. who was that guy anyway #you know??? #ok rant over fr

I said Knives never tortured anyone in Trimax but I lied he did turn Legato into a pretzel

#trigun #millions knives #honestly it's almost unfair how little Knives fears Legato when he is ultimately the one person that could probably have killed him #or maybe he does maybe that's why #almost ironic how Knives is betrayed by every single person he knows EXCEPT Legato and Elendira #Humanity in general; Rem choose humans; Vash shoots him in the back; Conrad plotted against him #pretty sure he doesn't really know most of the gung hoes and they're more Legato's gang but Wolfwood tries to shoot and then betrays him #Midvalley tries to kill Legato and get away. Livio/Razzlo switches sides. Zazie tries to put a disgusting mind control worm inside him. #All plants on the planet drops him and leaves him powerless and burning to death #In the end he is completely alone and not until then does he admit it. That he had been alone all along and he only has himself to blame #Because he's the one that walked away. Who turned down Vash's offer of running from it all. Who turned everyone against him. #Because he became obsessed with making sure no one could ever hurt him again and refused to let anyone close but it kept happening #because you can't be hurt if you already expect the worst right #and then Vash is there and Vash- Vash chooses NOT to do the thing he expects - he doesn't close the last bleeding wound in his chest that #Knives couldn't - wouldn't - get rid off. It would have been the last nail in the coffin that were Knives stubborn hope that he wasnt alone #and then Vash throws away the hammer and rips open the lid of the coffin and protects him instead - after Knives had betrayed HIM #and Vash should leave him; should kill him; should confirm that Knives is beyond hope so he can die feeling validated in his pain #but he doesn't. he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't #because Vash doesn't believe anyone is beyond repair; least of all people ruled by fear #and Legato tried. he tried so hard to be that person for Knives. #aaah. just me being normal about mr millions again.
