something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.
my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.
what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!

to survive galas the batkids play drinking games, so possible topics of when they have to take a shot:
bruce fakes being wasted to cover up and injury and ends up breaking something
selina pickpockets bruce unnoticed
damian gets his cheeks pinched
dick gets swarmed by cougars
tim gets too into his fake socialite persona and forgets to turn it off with them
steph knocks over a tower or drinks
jason shows up in an unspeakably horrible disguise (ie. fake mustache, clark’s glasses, etc.)
cass scares the shit out of people by materializing next to them
jim gordon takes a shot
someone accuses bruce of fathering their secret love child
duke claims to not be related to them
damian and tim get into fisticuffs
tim get caught napping (in a closet, under tables, etc.)
someone tells jason he looks just like “that poor old wayne kid who passed”
jason responds with something equally horrific (ie. he was ugly don’t insult me like that, i’m his ghost back to haunt you, that’s what he said too, oh i know my surgeon is a miracle worker do you want his card, etc.)
tim and damian resort to psychological warfare
bruce is a casualty of said warefare
duke steph and jason spread outlandish rumors about gotham to scare rich socialites
barbara spitefully runs over someone’s foot with her wheelchair
damian is caught hiding under the table like a gremlin
dick attempts to perform circus tricks
a batkid tells the truth about an injury and isn’t believed (was trying to ride the cow on a skateboard, sibling threw them off the banister, etc.)
bruce causes an international incident
tim causes an international incident
any of them cause any kind of incident affecting the greater east coast area or larger
one of the rumors the kids started comes back to them full circle

He looks back down at the baby – Andy – with her lick of dark hair and her splotchy pink skin. Even though she can’t be more than a month old, probably not even, the resemblance to her father – to Hob’s friend – is already uncanny. She looks imperious, a little disapproving, like she’ll nap in his arms if she has to since she doesn’t want to be rude, but privately she thinks the conditions aren’t quite befitting an infant of her station.
Hob loves her instantly, instinctively, in a way that he thinks is going to be nearly impossible to get over.
