Trigun Bookclub: Trigun Vol.1, Chapter #04

previous | all | next

This was actually pretty much ready last night but I hit post limit. L

I'm doing a deep-read of the Japanese original print (reread) and Overhaul 1.0 (first read) side-by-side, and writing down everything I notice from small details, version differences, translation differences, etc. (and being so normal(<-lie) about my faves as always)

As always, here are the non-analysis panels of the babygirls (!!!!! this time with Milly my beloved)

And the rest is under the cut :)

[link for if the images aren’t in horizontal rows]

Not as many this chapter since it's sort of between arcs.

Starting off with how this exchange between this guy and the mailman was handled! Originally, the "Thanks / Anytime" part was one speech bubble and came from the long-haired guy. He says「はいよ　ご苦労さん」(smth like "Alright. Thanks for your work."), and the tiny speech bubble from the mailman is a shortened form of "Thank you for your constant patronage." Because the lines become a bit redundant in English, Overhaul combined the guy's lines, splie his speech bubble, and moved the mailman's line to a more visible location. Just a little translation/typesetting trick I thought was clever.

April City in Japanese was stylized to Ainpril City.

I lied in the last post. Vash's antennae are back up; it'll still be a bit until his bent antennae becomes permanent. I guess it was just his hairdo coming loose during the Nebraska commotion.

And more MillyMeryl manzai routines!! I love them

This is definitely me reading into it too much... but I like the contrast between the girls, who have a job but are broke, and Vash, who does fuck all and even refused $$700 thousand but properly has money for the sandsteamer fare.

Also, he has a cool cloak! I forgot about that.

Tonis!! (remembering what happened to him in Stampede...ough......)

This conversation about Vash just... makes me Feel some Feelings. His pacifism and sheer niceness lights up the whole town. man.

Tiny detail: Silvie had a ruby note saying "store owner."

ok i'm as upset about this as yall are about to be. i am so sorry.

「うーん　少うしもったいなかった　かな」 もったいない itself could!! mean "to be too good for smth" ("that was too good for me"), but here, used by itself with no additional context, it defaults to "wasteful" → "Maybe I missed out..." 😭 but we can ignore this. acespec Vash must prevail. i'm very sad about this too.

This does not mean the translation or the common Western interpretation of this is wrong!!!! But this is definitely the way Japanese readers interpret this line, and probably the meaning Nightow intended. If there was something like 僕には before the middle line, this would've definitely gone the acespec route. Implied subject/object is a bitch

But with your help, we can all just forget everything I just wrote here and pretend it never happened! Deal? Deal.

Vash's agony is represented with squiggles in this panel.

I didn't notice this until someone else mentioned it, but this is a Wolverine reference!

Translation error - This line is by Kaito (the boy), saying "That's gotta be from the second time!" pointing to when Vash stuck his head through the vent himself.

food service au canon real.

That’s it for Chapter #04! As always, the Japanese annotations are in the reblogs.

Rusty and Sand as I was listening to 'What is the Feeling' from Wicked

She's berating him and calling him stupid for making her worry and getting badly hurt from a scouting mission gone wrong as he was saving his comrades from harm by pushing himself into danger.

"IT HURTS THAT YOU DON'T EVEN CARE! YOU MOUSE-BRAIN!!" and Rusty is like in the image realizing Sandstorm may be snarky and teased him a lot but it was just how she was. She didn't have any actual ill-will towards him, just scared of his rejection. (Like a classic tsundere).

He always had a sort of attraction to her and always did lend out his hand to her and give any sort of help when it wasn't asked. The two are basically young adults here.

Full fledge members of their respective societies and pretty stupid as well-

They did make up by sitting under the stars in silence with just their company and apologies.

Ough… man. Hey sometimes young adults aren't the smartest, the problems is when they're expected to suddenly know every little thing ever and any screw up means they're worthless. That's how I imagine SandStorm (and possibly Rusty) felt constantly. I like what you're doing with SandStorm in the au, in the books she has a great character but then it all stops once her and FireHeart become mates. Obviously people can mellow out when they're older but the fact that SandStorm becomes a husk of a character (just like everybody else) is especially disappointing when you see how lively her character was in Into the Wild or Fire and Ice.

I wonder if she'll have confirmed parents in this au and if that's the case, I wonder if they'll be clan cats or Kittypets, or a Kittypet/Clan cat relationship. I think anything going down the Kittypet route could add on a lot to her character.

Going off on a tangent but with me, I headcanon her parents to be two Kittypets who took refuge in Thunderclan. Her dad dies and the stress of everything causes her mom to go into labor early and eventually has her, then her mom believed that SandKit (who didn't have a name at the time) would be better off in Thunderclan, a community, so her mom left. Thunderclan made up a lie that they simply found her one day all alone and took her in.

But anyways going away from that tangent, I appreciate SandStorm's character in the au, gotta love it when SandStorm has moments of insecurity that she tries to hide behind a mocking facade.

[arg-guy-with-a-camera]

you ever watch death becomes her??

it's a very neat movie! it's dark comedy but it's a little bit of a body horror film

still very good though, watched it with my mom

✰ Jay's Movie Review ✰

Movie: Death Becomes Her

✰ Plot: 5/5 Gods this movie was funny, and the premise was very interesting and fun to think about. Honestly wish there were movies like this made now so we could use the new movie/film tech we have for special and practical effects like the neck twisting all the way around and the bodies falling apart at the end! Honestly Helen and Madeline are toxic yuri and I support them

✰ Set Desgine: 5/5 LISLE'S HOUSE FUCKS SEVERELY oh my gods practically drolling over the big sets with details and ough, i feel sick its so awesome

✰ Special Effects: 4/5 the effects in this movie had me floored. They were so cute and funny and oh my gods just so silly. Sometimes a little tacky (madeline falling down the stairs) but other times there were too noch (the hands going from old to young) and that's not even taking into consideration the neck breaking and such. They might not have been the best quality compared to some other movies but they made me laugh and felt perfect in the movie to me. <3

✰ Costuming: 5/5 that red/pink dress Helen wore was fantastic, absolutely stunning (god i'm a fashion nerd too aggghhhhh) BUT LISLE. oh lisle. if i was attracted to women i would want to kiss her so so so bad. i do want to kiss her. not even kiss maybe just sit at her side those OUTFITS DARLING wow. also her vibes matched so well and wonderful, once again, fucks severely.

✰ Sound Desgine: 4/5 i didn't have to use subtitles :3 sometimes the effects of thunder or lighting made certain lines a little hard to hear but hats a personal thing cause im autistic and struggle with words and such, but it wasn't the whole movie and the audio mixing was pretty damn good!!

✰ Top Characters:

Lisle, gotta give it to her honestly she had my heart. vibes: toxic. Love her tho lol

Ernest, my boy deserved better, wonder what his life couldn't been like if he hadn't met Helen or Madeline. vibes: babygirl. Glad he had fun after 50 tho

Helen, between my two main girls i like Helen more, she's just- a little more deranged. a little more fucked up honestly. vibes: one of those stickman with the blood photos. Her eyes when she had gotten shot was HORRIFYING babygirl don't look at me like that i'm shaking (positive)

✰ Top Quotes:

"Where did you put my wife??" "She's dead sir. They took her to the morgue." "the MORGUE?!?? oh she'll be FURIOUS!"

"Do you know what they do to soft, bald, overweight republicans in prison, Ernest?"

"You're a fraud, Helen! You're a walking lie and I can see right... THROUGH YOU"

✰ Overall Rating: 4.8/5

(rating is taken from the mean of the scores above)

Thank you for the ask!! Hope i gave a good review, i watched the movie as soon as i saw this ask, and have not seen it a second time as i like to do with most movies i watch! I though it was really funny!! Defiantly one to share with friends!!

- J

Hello! It is once again I, back at it with the procrastinating Tasks (clean apartmint so I can go on a brief trip tomorrow). Music again too bad for ur sleep schedule and also mine. Time for. The Struts bc I am both generic and also have the same music taste as my middle aged father. "Oh they were the ones who did the song in the second Sing movie" I am biting ppl on tiktok with my teeth as we speak. Anyways. Part 4. To me. https://youtu.be/akS40CnnhJU Just a bop in general but also. Ough. Music. https://youtu.be/5Hb5ZCdidpY Also just a fun song I think https://youtu.be/u14TIXQ4w5U I'd say Dio coded but I cannot lie about half of The Struts is either Horny, Hubris, or Miserable On The Floor so I think. It's all Dio coded. https://youtu.be/gzRN52CpX7k

HELLO MUSIC ANON im sorry for such a late response i had to prep for my final the past couple of days and jsut didnt have much time or energy to sit down and go thro songs BUT im here now

also ur so valid. sometimes dad music just hits different. as an aside i've never heard a struts song before now or at least, never knew it was them, and bro the singer's voice is really nice i've gotta check out more of their stuff. BUT anyway

as for today's gifts:

strange days

TOTALLY PART 4 YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT FUCK. "science fictoin i believe has become reality" WHOAHOA

i see this particularly from koichi's pov and how his friends/rolemodels make him feel. luuuuv this omfg

another hit of showmanship

I LUUUUV THE SOUND OF THIS ONE IT'S SO FUN. ur absolutely right this is a bop

as for any jojo characters this fits uhm. it. honestly. my judgement is so fucking clouded but it reminds me of my part 3.5 kakyoin and his drug abuse issues

but as for like cnaon stuff, if we use the drugs as a metaphor for something else, i can see, of course, jotaro or polnareff and how they overwork themselves post part 3

but frnakly i do think this song has potential to match multple characters im just not quite on my feet so to speak rn. i recommend others to give it a listen to see <3

freak like you

like u said i think this is msotly just a fun song <3 but ohhh god it reminds me of the crusaders as well. im so ill and so biased im so sorry music anon

primadonna like me

LMFAO ABSOLUTELY DIO CODED YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. i honestly think im gonna add this to my dio playlist

god this song is so fucking fun though fuck i'd get fucked up to this if it was playing at a club. sooo fun

thakn u as always <3

Ough your reply and tags are giving me so many FEELINGS on these guys him wanting to try to bring her back??? FixiNG her GLASSES?? ;^; absolutely wailing oh no he actually really likes her ack-

Unfortunately I do kinda see this version of May being fully gone shes just a body it probably destroyed her consciousness and soul so gone gone but also I'm here like hrggg but what if she wasn't fully gone okay??? What if she could come baaack?? Me wailing at myself even tho I'm the story writer XD

Darkness would definitely be pretty badly affected by it because like she kind of did the same thing once drowned and smothered Mays consciousness dragging it back into a mental prison to take control and she can only imagine the resurfaced trauma that would bring as this feral thing that looks like her sister slashes at her just unable to reach snarling and trying to kill her. She'd work with him to try to free her sister desperately hoping praying a little spark of her sister has trapped itself in some safe mental bubble that the corruption can't get to and that May can come back because if not? She doesn't want to think about it.

If may was fully gone and they got the crystals removed she'd either flatline because no soul or probably comatose no brainwaves because there's nothing there anymore she'd be just a body kept alive artificially. Darkness is familiar with soulless vessels breathed life through tubes and machines but this is the first one that has caused her to break down and wail and urg I gotta go lie down XD I'm making ME sad there's so much potential in this Au

YEAH YOU GET ME

🤝

He's allowed one (1) extra sentimental connection, as a treat (that will ruin his psyche forever lmaoooo)

He would hate to see her as a life support husk tbh that would be terrible. Like I could see him ultimately draining it with some twisted mindset of like at least what's left of her is with me now, but I don't think even he would fully believe that narrative, he knows it's fucked up to hell. And like if he did, Darkness would probably never forgive him, and he'd know that.

Honestly if he DID just totally lose her he would go mad. Madder, total isolation. He would start to let his "good" side go and his own corruption would speed up quite a bit. If he saw Darkness or Matt sometime after her true death it would be BAAAAD times. Especially Matt, he might somehow mistake Matt for May and go into full attack mode. Oops

Us just creating like 5 splitoffs of the same au that's already a splitoff of another au

10. How would you describe your writing process?

Very planning-heavy. There’s a ton of spitballing with friends on the topic, but usually if I get an idea, I’ll let it marinate a bit > finish an outline (which takes the most thought because actually Plotting A Story alongside technical details) > edit outline (for things like pacing and consistency) > rough draft > editing the rough draft (pruning and rewording and occasionally adding things) > letting it sit so I forget some of it > proofreading for shit like spelling errors. I also pre-write my author’s notes (they are always long i am very sorry) and title/summary/tagging stuff. As you can probably guess, I am an extremely slow writer when it comes to words per day.

Bear in mind this is only for more involved stories- multichaps or long oneshots. I absolutely am guilty of just writing by the seat of my pants for 1k-ish oneshots and other things. Somethings u just gotta crank one of ‘em out in a night and plaster it on the internet after only editing once.

17. Do you think readers perceive your work - or you - differently to you? What do you think would surprise your readers about your writing or your motivations?

Ough this is a tough one. There’s always going to be information lost, whether it be in what the environment looks like or in motivations or other intent. In terms of people perceiving it differently? Honestly, one of the hardest things to balance for, say, Soul-Stricken, was “I want the readers to be able to pick up what I’m putting down, but I also want them to think” and it’s... well, I sure hope I succeeded. Especially since re-reading value was something I consciously focused on for it.

As for surprises... hmm. I like to think my motivations are pretty transparent? I’ll be the first to admit most of my tastes in tropes, both fandom-specific and in general, tend to be niche; I’m writing the ideas I love, first and foremost, and those just happen to diverge from common fanon most of the time.

There is a little bit of spite inherent in my motivations, not gonna lie, but that’s the case for every genfic writer I know, since most fandoms are extremely ship-centric (ahit is one of the blessed exceptions).

(though I am curious what readers think of my motivations now, hmmm)

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

Legit there are Layers to the whole deal with Snatcher/Luka and Apolonia regarding selfishness and responsibility. Luka stayed because of his sense of duty to his clan, and his wife-to-be, and to the forest- he wasn’t selfish enough, and it hurt him. Y’all already know how that turned out. Apolonia ran from her responsibility to chase her own happiness, leaving her family and friends behind to cut all ties, and that responsibility caught up to her; she thinks all of Clan Pryce is dead except for her and her children, and she was the only surviving Clan Head available to do the duties of one for the remnants that made it to Alpine- she was too selfish, and it hurt her. (Also special mention to the crown being left behind deliberately in the cellar because Subcon is no longer attached to Omnoc- just like mother dearest wanted, except nothing like she wanted)

ANYWAYS ON LESS DEPRESSING META STUFF I enjoyed being cheeky in the in-universe excerpts and how they connected to the actual events of the stories. Special mention to the Magic Boom in Thrice-Cursed, and the one in ch1 of Soul-Stricken, because the incongruence between how other ghosts work and how Snatcher works doesn’t get solidly revealed as a plot point until chapter 4. Although there are quite a few other hints about Snatcher’s nature scattered around, you just have to look for him.

(Also Brigid Larsen exists to be a bit of a meta easter egg, as the author of quite a few of the excerpts in Thrice-Cursed- which have good guesses for what may have happened during the Fall of Subcon! But their weakness is that they make too much sense lmao)

yo do you have any headcanons for race flirting with the reader?

why,,, yes,, I,,,, do,,,,,, thank you for asking,,,,.,,, :)))))))))
