Point of view: You've royally pissed off the most powerful being on the planet.

(Knives is currently not on the planet but above so it counts)

(please click on the full image! It's DIN A3 and the effect is better in full view, especially Vash's glowing eyes! Little close ups under the cut)

bYEE i spent way too long on this

I don't own any of the assets used in rebuilding the town and the ui—nah, that's the great work of ConcernedApe. I just merely made two extra buildings to look similar enough to the other buildings in town.

Why stardew though??? idk i couldn't sleep one night and instead detailed out the steps on how I would do this with unity and aseprite because of course I'm still thinking about trigun 24/7; only this time I've recently started playing stardew.

wanted to add Nai, Livio and the rest of the cast but i wanna work on keychains next sooooo

Nai works in the library where books are less likely to offend him. Livio helps around the orphanage. Vash likes to garden and to visit the bakery next door in his free time. Kinda want Zazie to be an absolute menace of a niece that got sent there under their care.

#can't believe im tagging stardew and trigun in one post #stardew au #trigun #I LOVEE MERYL IN THIS ONE #she's so TINY I THINK SHES A PIXEL SHORTER THAN JAS HAHAHAHHA #i was debating putting wolfwood/nicholas but he's married here #vashwood #YES THEY'RE BOTH DOING WELL AND HAPPILY MARRIED TO EACH OTHER #Sapphics milly/meryl because i said so #AND THEY'RE RUNNING A BAKERY YALL #Milly absolutely befriending everyone in town becos she's a sweetheart #the player would have competition now since vash is most definitely taking up requests from the bulletin board too

[orcelito]

everyone always talks about That One panel of Trigun: Multiple Bullets, but i havent seen anyone talk about how fucking BATSHIT INSANE the surrounding fight is

like

Vash & Wolfwood fighting back-to-back, both using the punisher as a shield

(the rest under a readmore bc this accidentally got LONG...)

Vash seeing the shots coming from behind & purposefully not moving bc he knows if he does, Wolfwood would get hit

Wolfwood getting injured too, but not moving from Vash's back. the way he's stanced, it looks Protective. he's doing what he can to keep Vash out of the direct line of fire.

even when he's getting shot up for it, he Doesn't Move. (this also seems to be the moment he got hurt, which leads into the panel later)

& throughout this whole scene, we are only seeing Wolfwood's reactions.

until the girls give them an opening, and they burst out with THIS:

Wolfwood injured, so he can't properly aim the punisher... and he gets around this by sticking one of the leather straps in his Mouth

and then we FINALLY get to see Vash's face again as he grabs the punisher (with a "GAN" sound effect, so he fuckin SLAPPED that metal hand on the punisher).

Wolfwood trusts him enough to just do what he says in the thick of battle, so we FINALLY get to the iconic panel:

which brings us to the aboslute insanity of what Vash is actually Doing.

"DON DON" -> two shots fired for two missiles launched. he literally manages to TURN THEM AROUND MID-FLIGHT (interesting to note that they seem to have internal propulsion, rather than simply being fired by Wolfwood. how many of these does Wolfwood have? they seem heavy.)

he manages to avert the third missile from hitting the dude directly, and instead makes it land Behind him. then the other two missiles, he rests his arm on Wolfwood's shoulders to hit them and direct them behind the other two enemies

Boom.

killing no-one, but showing an INSANE level of fine control AND teamwork.

and in the end, Wolfwood's arm is in a cast, Vash seems either unhurt or hurt but unbothered by it (typical Vash). And Life Goes On.

(forgot to mention before, but all panels are from @trigun-manga-overhaul! thank u for the beautiful pages)

The Next Time We Talk On Facebook, Clementine von Radics

[ID: Panels from Trigun volume 10 overlaid with lines from a poem

Vash and Wolfwood clink shot glasses on a couch. “I will not mention the last time I saw you.” They both take drinks. “My mouth, so far from yours, I said /”.

The chapel bell tolls. “I am afraid I will spend entire years trying not to need you.” Confetti falls down around the orphanage. Vash lowers his face, glasses opaque. “As if I wasn’t certain.” Vash buries his face in his hands. “As if this wasn’t my confession.” End ID]

The weight of knowing Nightow said in an interview that Vash avoids taking lovers and deepening most relationships because of the disparity of time between Humans and Plants and the pain that comes from that... Yet he explicitly chose Wolfwood; a man who's time had already been stolen from... to spend the rest of his tomorrows with...

Indescribable.

I am genuinely unsure how to recover from this level of longing. This acceptance of the inherent tragedy that makes love beautiful at its core: That impermanence.

Vash spent all that time avoiding and yearning. Loving always at arms length and loving so hard to try and make up for that. Then when he finally finds someone strong enough, who loves Vash the same. Someone that has even a snowballs chance in hell of understanding any part of him. he loses him. Not immediately though, that would've been a mercy. No, Vash got just enough time to realize how close he was.

Vash got to start building a home in Wolfwood just in time to see it collapse.

It's haunting in a way most of the media around these themes has rarely managed to be to me personally. Vash is possibly my favorite example of that one quote:

"Grief is just love with no where to go."

And god... Vash has so so so much love trapped inside.

ive discovered a new spectrum of character based on my two most recent interests also everyone is free to add to the spectrum but anyone who attempts to correct me gets their eyeballs stolen

(small text: *achilles’ hair colour is described as ‘xanthos’ which isn’t necessarily strictly blond but is frequently used in reference to things that are golden or yellow but could easily describe a range of other visual experiences also it’s very complicated but for the sake ofthis meme he’s blond and we’re all going to accept it and not attempt to explain it to me in the comments. im glad we all agree)

#rookposting #iliad #achilles #trigun #tristamp #trigun stampede #dw i wont put this in tag a memnon this is too dumb even by my standards #i honestly feel silly every time i crosspost from twitter bc it's like making the same joke twice but louder #but i need to get in the habit because twitter is a dogshit archive and ALSO #i keep getting reposted in places and id like to at least know where my bullshit is going #friends dmed me about me apparently doing numbers on reddit which i dont use #and i checked it out and it was a screenshot of an instagram post #which was a screenshot of my tweet #i was like guys cmon at least screenshot the tweet

[threegunbrainrot]

i dont have any trigun mutuals so i'm just gonna ramble my thoughts into the infinite void of tumblr. and im sure others have touched on this same topic but

it almost seems like vash is getting softer with every new installment of trigun? like incredibly consistently and incredibly specifically.

let me explain.

i'll start with tristamp and work backwards; the tristamp vash we all know and love there is incredibly adverse to violence.

more often than not he ACTIVELY refuses to fight and just WON'T draw his gun. this post loosely counted the amount of bullets that he shot throughout all of season 1, and almost ALL of them (like to an insane degree) were dished out against knives, who vash knew was strong enough to take the hit.

the few times vash does draw his gun against a human in tristamp, it's as a blunt force weapon (against the badlads gang and livio, for example) or to disarm others/save someone with ricochet (like shooting the punisher before wolfwood can kill livio).

he just doesn't shoot people. at ALL.

then if we look at 98 trigun, things change drastically.

here, vash isn't afraid to hurt people a little if it means more will be saved in the end. of course he never kills, but he actually shoots people here. not only that...

he holds a casual, sarcastic conversation while pointing his weapon at people.

he constantly shoots at limbs to immobilize people, fires warning shots extremely close to peoples' vitals, and performs several very insane trick shots throughout the show to wound those with armor.

tristamp vash wouldn't even draw, but 98 struts around firing warning shots into the sky and singing about bloodshed for intimidation! i'm not sure there's a single episode where he doesn't shoot someone at least once.

...so what about trimax, then?

(PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD)

he is so. shockingly. violent.

of course he never kills. of course he's still trying to save people, but there's this anger in him that i was completely taken off-guard by reading for the first time.

tristamp vash is so soft he's painful to watch. 98 vash makes a heartbreaking effort to be as silly and nonthreatening as possible, constantly making himself out to be the fool. but trimax?

he's... literally grief-stricken and out for revenge. explicit revenge. he's angry and he's hurt and he lays his intentions out so clearly. he's making THREATS.

seriously:

hunting legato. HUNTING him.

it's not even a matter of drawing his weapon anymore. he does it constantly, and fires just as much. never to kill, but he doesn't joke around the way 98 vash does. the most he'll offer is a sunny smile to reassure others and nothing more.

i'm not that far into the manga, either. i'm sure there's countless more (and probably better) panels to convey this side of trimax vash, but i suppose it also says something that i've found so many panels depicting this so early on.

but the progression of vash's personality is fascinating regardless.

from a tortured, angry loner desperately trying to cling to his morals for rem's sake

to an equally devastated man who devotes himself so completely to acting the role of the fool

and finally to the sad, chronically depressed shell of a person in tristamp who refuses to so much as draw his weapon.
