I have another song for you: Walking Far From Home by Iron & Wine. The vibes are Extremely Vash. There's something in there that matches the melancholy he naturally comes with.

HELLO AGAIN!!

my friend, that might have just been one the most beautiful songs i’ve heard this year. the second the music started, i was indeed struck with the level of melancholy that fits Vash so well. i cant help but imagine a future post-trimax where vash is all alone all over again. where his friends have grown old and passed away and he’s back to walking the planet on his own. except this time the society has evolved. things are so much better than before.

and yet, here is a man so ancient and so lonely.

“i saw blood and a bit of it was mine” nailed it.

thank you again for the song recommendation!

Wolfwood Characters: Vash the Stampede (Trigun), Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun), Roberto de Niro (Trigun), Meryl Stryfe (Trigun) Additional Tags: Vash is a bit OOC for a reason, listen this man lost his lover twice ok can u blame him, pining wolfwood, making out as a coping mechanism, rough kissing but not the sexual kind if that makes sense, biting (also non-sexual), Flirting, wolfwood's use of pet names, Hurt/Comfort, tender vashwood, Soft and tender, Introspection, wolfwood is a simp you'll see!, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Alternate Universe - Reincarnation

wolfwood is bothered by the fact that vash is cold only towards him.

he just doesnt know that vash has lost him twice in the man's previous lifetimes. so this time, vash tries to keep his distance.

to no avail.

“You …” Vash starts, stealing a small glance at Wolfwood, that tight smile still pinched on his mouth. “You remind me of someone.”

Knowing this is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of opportunity, Wolfwood shuts his bitchy mouth to listen properly.

Sensing Wolfwood’s sudden intent listening, Vash ducks his head – more in embarrassment than anything, weirdly enough. “I mean, it was a long time ago,” Vash says with a nervous laugh. “You just … you look like him.”

Unfortunately for both of them, Wolfwood’s bitchy mouth has taken an autonomy at verbal responses. “Bet I’m hotter,”

Vash snorts, a sound that eventually unfurls into soft laughter, and Wolfwood wants to set something on fire. Probably the suns. Or blow something up. Probably the moon.

To make up for his stupid mouth, Wolfwood asks a real question. “This person know you too?”

Vash nods with a faraway stare. “We were close, yeah,”

There’s a hint of … departure … involved – if that plaintive expression says anything. Wolfwood leaps right into it. “He left you?” The question is an obvious projection of himself, obviously, with all things considered. He can sense a formula floating around somewhere within reach, shaped suspiciously like him. He just needs to insert the right values.

When Vash looks right at him, his eyes are glossy, lips drawn into a morose frown. Wolfwood very badly wants to reach out and smooth it with his thumb. “He left, yeah,” he nods. “Didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.”

“Damn, what a jackass,”

Vash laughs wetly, causing the pooling tears to spill from his eyes. In a sweeping movement, Wolfwood crowds into his space and wipes his tears with the cuff of his sleeve, because despite his greed, he doesn’t think he deserves to touch Vash. He has self-preservation too, albeit so miniscule.

“Don’t be a crybaby now,” he says, realising a little too late just how soft his voice has gotten. “Guy’s probably a jerk who doesn’t deserve you anyway.”

the way the war in gaza has been constantly about targeting flour, targeting hospitals, targeting universities, targeting water containers, targeting anything that brings life in order to "thin out the population" and "encourage palestinians to move to tent cities in egypt"

and then you have western media readily calling it a "humanitarian crisis" therefore fulfilling israel's goal of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis. this entire war was with the purpose of collectively punishing a civilian population of 50% children. that's why it was immediately understood and labelled as a genocide by multiple genoide scholars, by the lemkin institute, and is currently on trial for genocide at the hague

like the starvation and the blocking of aid and the dropping of parachuted MREs to just barely salvage the reputation of a few politicians is not a byproduct of the war. it's not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. acquiescing to israelis blocking aid by building ports and dropping pallets of food means acquiescing to famine as a strategy instead of trying to stop it. famine is not collateral damage, it is a central pillar of genocide. killing children is not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. we don't need hindsight to say this plainly, anyone who denies it now is another pillar of genocide.

the song "salt" by bad suns in relation to vash and/or knives

lyrically, I think it has quite a lot of potential

okay. Okay. i just checked out the song and i am Obsessed with it. you’re right, right from the first verse, i can see it right away: Vash.

“but im taking this route, its alright, right? thats what i tell myself, but i dont know”

“so i ran until i couldn’t”

“look in the mirror and tell me, what its like to be free”

“who can i look to? cause im not like you”

and Knives !!!!

“but these memories are nothing to me”

“cause all of my life is built on lies”

these are how i connect the lyrics to the twins, though for the most part im definitely reading a lot into vash. but yeah, thank you for recommending!

So the "food" that the US dropped to Gaza is MREs. Expired. Saw a stitch of this video from a woman saying this is the same thing they did with Hurricane Katrina survivors.

MREs are shelf stable for 7 years. Total. These ones were over 15 years old.

And ofc there were people in the comments being like "ummm well our military eats them just fine, they were expired when I was in the army too" THATS NOT OKAY THO?? NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO EAT EXPIRED FOOD!

Fuck the US, fuck the Israeli government, and fuck you if you think that this is any kind of help to the people of Gaza. They're starving to death and the US is sending expired applesauce while also giving bombs to their murderers.

in which vash falls for wolfwood again even after losing his memories

read more for an excerpt c:

He had studied the photo again, sitting hunched at the sidecar of Angelina II (“What happened to Angeline I?”; “Nosey as ever.”), eyes tracing his own spikey hair. Suddenly Nicholas calling him “needle-noggin” made so much sense, what with the natural way the syllables rolled off his tongue. “We were close, huh?” Vash spoke then, muscles and bones cramping within the tight space of the sidecar all afternoon as Nicholas tore through the dunes.

Nicholas didn’t say anything for a while that Vash thought he wouldn’t get any answer at all. But the man eventually grunted, “I guess you can say that.”, which was forcibly a vague response for someone who tried to paint himself cryptic – like that wouldn’t further fuel Vash’s inquisitiveness.

Be that as it may, Vash finds it so effortless to fall into step beside Nicholas under countless tumultuous occasions, as if their bodies have long since learned each other’s complementary features. Caught in a crossfire, and they were back-to-back before Vash could even conjure the thought of calling him; tangled into instances of arguments about morale, and it would take one dumb joke for them to be on equal terms; witnessed moments of innocent townsfolk getting assaulted, and suddenly they would work in tandem as they intervened – Nicholas with fists and Vash with words.

And yet, and yet, even with all these incidents further convincing Vash that he and Nicholas make a really good team together, he can’t help but notice the way Nicholas would draw back when things start to cascade into a comfortable pace. Gaze averted whenever he gets caught staring for too long, fingers curled into fists every time Vash moves closer, chin ducked when Vash aims a smile at him.

It had been three weeks since he left Sheryl and Lina’s home when he finally gathered the courage to ask another question. It wasn’t much of a courage to begin with, really, considering Nicholas’ drunk state as he balanced himself on a rickety chair in an inn they’d fought tooth and nail to get. “Why are you scared of me?” Vash had queried through the fog of his buzzing brain, which had seemed to propel Nicholas into a moment of sobriety judging by the abrupt quirk of his left eyebrow.

“W’makes ya think that?” he’d countered in that indolent manner of his, a bearing so laidback it could fool anyone who hadn’t seen him in action.

“It’s in your eyes.”

like any other human, Nicholas D. Wolfwood feels. and when he feels, he feels a little too much. and when there are too many feelings going on inside him, he wants them all.

or

wolfwood is hopeless around vash.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Trigun Stampede (Anime 2023), Trigun (Anime & Manga 1995-2008) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Vash the Stampede/Nicholas D. Wolfwood Characters: Vash the Stampede (Trigun), Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun), Meryl Stryfe (Trigun) - mentioned, Roberto de Niro (Trigun) - mentioned, Millions Knives (Trigun) - mentioned

Against all odds, that spikey punk eventually says, “You don’t have to do this, you know,”

Which summons enough energy for Wolfwood to finally get annoyed. “Still a vague statement, sweetheart,”

For a while, he receives no response from the spikey mess sitting huddled on the bed in front of him, red coat and black turtleneck long discarded on the dusty wooden floor. That’s fine by him, really. He can do this all night. What’s another silent treatment gonna do, drive him up the fucking wall?

But eventually the air shifts.

“I’ve been doing this for a very long time on my own,” Vash explains, still in that soft voice that betrays the gravity of his own statement. “I’m not …”

Wolfwood can hear the gears in his brain gyrating about, it’s almost too painful to let the silence stretch further. “Not what?”

It takes another painstaking amount of time before the man grinds out, “Brittle.”

At this, the hand that has been hovering near Vash’s rapidly healing wound comes to rest on his bare skin, fists curled loosely around the extracted bullet. “Never said you were weak, blondie,” Wolfwood mutters around his cigarette, focusing on the age-old scars and stitches littering across Vash’s bare back.

Vash glances over his shoulder partly, just enough for Wolfwood to be able to make out that rueful smile ghosting over his kind features. “You don’t have to,”

Okay, now this guy is getting on his nerves. “S’that supposed to mean?” the indignance in his voice is making him feel like a child.

Granted, Vash chooses this time to be frank with his thoughts. “I can take care of myself, Wolfwood,” he tells him patiently, as if knowing Wolfwood would snap within half a second. “You don’t have to do all this.”

Wolfwood catches himself before he opens his mouth to retort, apparently coming to the horrifying realisation that there is more than one response to that, one of them being his lack of options and the other being the complete opposite of that – the latter of which will require more digging into his persistently dead soul and is, quite frankly, a rather treacherous path to tread. It’s bad enough that the thought has surfaced. God knows what elusive conclusions he might arrive at should he ruminate on it.

“What, so you can continue your martyr act?”

“Do I have a choice?” Vash says it like he has rehearsed this over his head for decades, awfully content with the providence.

Yes, you do! That selfish prick inside of him wants to yell, yet not daring to delve into the idea. Why does he care? Why should he care? The worst thing about it is Wolfwood doesn’t know how he should word the alternative without shifting the trajectory of Vash’s moral principles – sweet, kind and beautiful Vash, unwavering and determined to preserve his ground with humanity. Because that man can easily deflect the same question right at him and Wolfwood would rather be swallowed by a grand worm than put a smidgeon of thought to it.

So while Wolfwood wallows in yet another moral crisis, Vash continues his musings, “Is that so bad?”

The truthful answer is no, it isn’t so bad. Optimism is a bitch, but it could rub off on anyone. In fact, Wolfwood would praise the man for his courage if he weren’t such a dumb fucking idiot most of the time. It’s not bad, because the man is stronger than him, has a solid principle that he sticks by all his life, because he is actually such a respectable person despite the infamous claims about him. It’s not bad, because what would Wolfwood give to be the man of his calibre, to taste even the slightest of his sanguine worldview?

But because Wolfwood is a selfish bitch, he says, “Would it kill you to protect yourself every once in a while, blondie?”

And Vash must have caught the tone as a resigned one, because he turns his body halfway but keeps his face set on the wall opposite. “No,” he replies, and Wolfwood almost swipes his forehead for being a smart mouth before the man continues, “but it would kill them.”

And ain’t that the truth?
