lonely

[ID: A limited palette of green and pink, Vashwood comic. The first page serves as a prologue. The first panel shows Vash speaking to someone off screen while Wolfwood is lingering behind him. A black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the second panel, Vash is buying donuts in the distance while Wolfwood is once again in view, lingering. and the black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the third panel, Vash is leaving a cubicle and turning towards his right with a slightly peeved expression. He sees Wolfwood, leaning against the cubicle, waiting for him, and with the black arrow drawn, pointing at him, implicating the consistent hovering of Wolfwood’s presence during Vash’s everyday. At the bottom of the page, they’re drawn out of panel with Vash turning to Wolfwood and saying with an irritated expression, “You’re really following me everywhere, huh?” Wolfwood responds, “What, you got a problem?” Vash responds without hesitation, “Yeah, kinda...”

The second page starts with a new day. In the first panel, Vash is seen alone, weighing apples in his hands at a mart, with crowds passing behind him. In the second panel, he turns to his right and starts to say, “Hey, Wolfwood...” In the third panel, he’s startled from seeing a stranger, whom he’d accidentally called out to when he was expecting to see Wolfwood. He says, “Oh, you’re not him. Sorry!” In the fourth panel, the stranger walks off and Vash muses, “Right, he said he had something to do today...”

The third page begins with a close up of Vash's miffed expression, the continuation of Vash's thoughts, "Now that he's not here, this is just like how I used to be, but... It feels lonely somehow. Oh well, I'll see him again tonight, like always." In the second panel, it shows Vash walking through the marketplace crowd, alone. In the third panel, the door panel is a close up of the door opening with a peek of Vash's head. He says, "Wolfwood!" In the fourth panel, Vash is holding a bag of food with a bright smile and says, "Are you hungry? I got you something to eat today!"

The fourth page begins with a shot of the room, two beds being highlighted, one of them being made properly with the blanket draped over the bed and the other with the blanket folded and pillow sitting on top of it. There's no sign of Wolfwood. The second panel shows Vash with a disappointed look as he thinks, "He's still not here?" The third panel shows Vash putting the bag of food on the table. Stapled to the paper bag is the receipt with a written note "For Wolfwood." Vash's thoughts continue "He does like to stay out so, I guess there's no reason to worry..." The fourth panel shows Vash sitting his bed somberly with his thoughts continued, "It's not any of my business anyway..."

The fifth page starts with a close up his blank expression as he looks downwards, thinking, "Even if he left completely... That'd be understandable and better for him. I'll just travel alone again... like before... Huh?" The next panel shows Vash's composure break, tears welling up in his eyes suddenly, as he didn't expect to cry. He starts to sob, putting his hands to his face to quiet himself and wipe at his tears, as he says, "Ugh... Dammit... I miss h..." The last panel shows Vash leaning over into his hands, still crying, and in the back, the door swings wide open with a bam as Wolfwood walks through with the punisher swung behind him. He shouts, "SPIKEY! You in here?!"

The sixth page starts with Wolfwood confused, looking at Vash and Vash looks back, just as confused, with tears in his eyes and snot out of his nose. Wolfwood starts saying, "Ah? You..." No longer in panels, at the bottom of the page, Wolfwood takes the Punisher off of himself and starts to walk towards Vash, continuing with slight concern, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Vash, hurriedly begins to wipe at his tears, denying immediately, "No! No, I'm fine! Nothing happened!"

The seventh page, Vash points towards the table, with a hand still wiping at his tears and he smiles as he says, "I uh got you food. On the table." Wolfwood looks towards to the table and responds, "Oh. I was getting hungry, thanks." He turns his head back to Vash immediately after with an uncertain expression, knowing the other wasn't responding to his concern, and says, "But, I know you're an idiot with this stuff, so I'm reminding you again. Don't brush it off if it's an issue, alright?"

The eight page, Vash's tears have dried and he looks to Wolfwood with a soft smile and responds, "Yeah. It's okay though..." A panel at the center shows a side view of Vash approaching Wolfwood. At the bottom of the page, with no panel, is a close up shot of Vash's hand, holding onto the edge of Wolfwood's jacket sleeve, as he says, "Because you're here now. Wolfwood."

The final page is a back shot of both of them standing next to each other, Wolfwood's head tilted slightly to the left, not fully believing Vash as he says, "That doesn't answer anything, Spikey." Vash responds, "There's no need to talk about it! You should enjoy your food. Let's have a drink too?" Wolfwood responds, "Tsk, tsk. Fine, yeah. I could use one." END ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #but onto this comic... i think and talk a LOT about vash's loneliness bc trigun is just. kind of central on that for a good while! esp in #the original manga he was alone for a good portion of it and he tends to keep others away like how he ran away from meryl and milly when #they tried to tag along. and he was kind of bothered when he realized ww was following him around Too. at the core even though he loves #humans and he loves deeply the people he does know -- he isnt really much of a people person and i think thats been the case since he was #young considering his initial doubts towards humans... with the exception of kids bc kids dont give him moral conflicts. so suddenly #here comes wolfwood!!! his guide. someone TRULY affixed to him until he has to get to knives. someone who isnt budging and someone whos #really good at following him around and even seems like he goes like 5 steps ahead to make sure vash doesnt run on him #in one way its - i don't want you to follow me bc i don't want to burden you and i don't want you to kill the people i want to save. #in another way its - i like this companionship. i like waking up to you and i like ending the way with you. i like talking to someone who #knows my world. i like being in your space and sometimes i enjoy talking about our day #theyre just living together. like. roadtrip buddies or theyre also under the same roof because they're going everywhere together. #trimax they mainly spend their mornings together and if they had personal business attend the other person would usually know and itd only #be during the midday. anyway bc of this kind of companionship i figure that vash eventually grew accustom to it and he really. cant go back #to the kind of loneliness from before. it's harder to imagine and it'd be harder to withstand. esp after 2 years with lina and her grandma. #ruporas art

as much as i love angst and don’t typically love like. being parents/having kids in fic……i do think wolfwood would want to settle down on a big plot of land and raise a bunch of orphans

#feeling so wretched and soft for him lately #me trying to undoom wolfwood from the narrative……. #he wants to help you cook dinner and he wants vash and meryl and livio over often #he wants to bark at them for eating all his food but it secretly makes him so so happy #wants to sit out on the back porch with you as the kids run around in the yard #someone put me out of my misery #cielo rambles!

[hetamata]

#trigun #pot.png #vash can canonically cook and i believe wholeheartedly that wolfwood can cook as well. the dude helped around his orphanage as a kid #when the children demanded 4am pancakes you KNOW the only person who'd do it is beloved oldest brother nicholas #meanwhile meryl and milly subsist on conbini bento whenever they can #completely half assed the spatula and eggs so dont take this as indicative of ww's egg making skills love and peace

[origamiyoda]

really really obsessed w the idea of rebooted media being just like.. reincarnation of the characters.

#mostly this is me back on my tmnt bs again w like. idk really liking the idea of rottmnt being the 2012 boys getting a second chance #and like getting 2 be kids. yknow #BUT ive seen some trigun/tristamp reincarnation aus and its just.... ough. #like idk if its the certainty that ww will die. like no matter what happens hes doomed #he died in trimax& th 98 anime and like. they've deviated a little from the plotline in stampede which is maybe giving me this false hope #that like. this time around it'll be different. This time around they can save him #This time around he'll get a happy ending. peace. idk #But I know they probably won't and hes doomed by the narrative which is just. So great but also. ohgod idk #idk just. Vash & ww & meryl & milly (!!!) Meeting with this sense of like. Yeah. Us four against the world. Fitting into place #a sense of deja vu. Idk. IDK !!!!! #theres something to it that im quite obsessed w #cain if youre reading this. Hi. Also this is along the same vein of like. All our aus. Same logic & train of thought #That no matter what there is a set of people you are destined to meet in every lifetime. You'll always end up back in the same place #side by side. Idk #THIS IS DERANGED. anyway #tmnt #trigun #Leo yells

[nick-close]

A secret fact about me is I think about Meryl a LOT to the point where he’s basically an oc at this point and if I talk about him here none of u will understand

#he’s an ace aro in a qpr and he grew up poor and he #physically does not smile aside from acting roles #bc he literally trained himself not to as a kid #you don’t GET IT #YOU DONT GET IT!!!!!!! #YOU NEVER WILL!! #I kNOW HES NOT CANON ACCURATE BUT HES MY GUY #he cannot leave his comfort zone he’s just a little guy #modern au specifically brainrot #he’s also autistic #you just don’t get it #you never will #dndads #dungeons and daddies #atmod #at the mountains of dadness #atmod meryl #meryl dndads

HIII MAC! i don’t listen to tma (podcasts r hard :[ still working my way thru nightvale) but whatever an avatar of the extinction is sounds very intriguing 👀 giggling kicking my legs twirling my hair. would u like 2 perhaps. explain what that is and how it relates 2 knives perhaps??? i am holding out a microphone 2 u the floor is yours

OH FUCK YEAH. HI HI IVE BEEN DYING TO TALK ABOUT KNIVES AND VASH IN THE LENS OF TMA ENTITIES. SORTING SYSTEMS AND HORROR THEMES MY BELOVED.

ok in basic terms. The Extinction rules over. obviously the fear of going extinct. (alt names for it are. The Terrible Change, The Future Without Us, and The World Is Always Ending. which. hello. slaps.) it deals with catastrophies, large forces of change, the human race dying out and being replaced with something else. you know that feeling when you think about how the sun is going to expand and swallow the earth in millions of years and theres no way the planet or anything on it will survive that, but time will keep passing anyway without us? yeah. that.

there werent ever any actual extinction avatars within the show, so its given more as a vague concept instead of given human form (which i think is very fitting) but if it was given a form i think that would be TEXTBOOK knives. thats his Whole Deal.

the extinction IS however manifested physically in different ways in the show, mostly in the form of different technology. and sometimes it gives visions of what humanity could potentially become or be replsced by.

ALL THAT TO SAY. holy shit. extinction avatar knives. he is distinctly Not Human, but appears human. he's actively working toward the destruction of all humanity, planning to replace it with plants. plants are vaguely humanoid in shape, but also distinctly Not Human. horrifying and eldritch and scary. the first time any of the humans see what a plant actually looks like its often met with disgust and horror. now imagine seeing those and being told "one day all of humanity will die and be forgetten about, and youll be replaced with these. nobody will be left to miss you." knivescore.

this post is getting sooo long but i have so much more to say. namely regarding not only knives' need for the destruction of humanity but ALSO his destruction of everyone he used to love. the people on the ship. rem. vash. etc.

BUT. i woudl also like to talk about desolation vash :]

The Desolation is the fear of losing things dear to you. losing everything you own in a house fire. family members and close friends dying unexpectedly and out of your control. everything you love being cruelly ripped away from you in an act of senseless and unstoppable violence. natural disasters. etc. you see what im talking about here.

Desolation is often represented by fire and melting wax but thats really only because the only canon representation we get is very fire-heavy. personal hc is that it can manifest in ways other than that.

normally i would call vash a victim of the desolation (victims are people whose lives are ruined or are killed by the fears, but avatars are people who either embody or serve the entity. instead of being afraid (or sometimes in spite of being afraid) they are also drawn to their fear and have a sick fascination with it) BUT. even though he has VERY much been a victim. vash has also CAUSED desolation. its not always his fault and its never intentional, but it still Happens. he doesnt want it to. and thats why hes unwilling, he would never choose to torture people in that way, but it still happens and because of his actions the entity is still being fed. look at the people who want revenge on him because of july. look at augusta and the fifth moon. it might not be his fault, but hes still the catalyst.

look at vash standing in the ruins of july and tell me that isnt desolation incarnate.

#aurghghhh this got so long but #i could talj about tma entity classifications for so fucking long dude. maybe even more than classpects. holy shit. #desolation is usually. fire coded but i think a storm/sandstorm desolation vash woukd be. equally as fucking cool. #coat blowing around in the wind etc etc #also the fucking. knife tentacles and roots in ep 11 of stampede are SO fucking. extinction core are you KIDDING me #plants in general are very extinction core. also strangercore but thats just a product of being uncanny valley #GOD i coukd tskk about this forever. fuck dude. #also very quickly. wolfwood is hunt. meryl and milly are both beholding. legato is web. #this is mostly rambling if anything still doesnt make sense PLEADE LLEASE PLEASE ask me more questions i love entity talk sm #also i didnt give many specific examples. oops. i can do that if needed #the general vibe is . trust me bro i have a phd in sorting beloved characters into horror categories #asks #friends!!! #anachronistic-falsehood #trigun #tma

[ruporas]

post ep 11

#trigun stampede #trigun #meryl stryfe #nicholas d wolfwood #vash the stampede #i cant even elaborate on this episode bc ive spent all day Thinking about it yesterday #and it made me Miserable #i just want to see vash have some autonomy again... #he is a little bit more on the quieter end for stampede as less angry about things but i dont think he's more of a coward in stampede #even though he was transported into his memories and saw and heard those terrible things from the kids and wolfwood #he was able to gather himself and keep going #his resilience has always been the strongest and also saddest thing about him #so it killed me irreversibly when he lost the one person who he could always look back to reliably #the fact knives couldnt even alter anything in rem's dialogue within those memories just stands for how strong her place is in vash's memory #and potentially knives just knows that would be too ooc of her to make in any Universe if she had something horrible. #man. I TALKED ABOUT THIS IN LIKE ALL 3 PLATFORMS. I'm alright with Knives as a character but jesus #- i did it all for you - im so sad that vash had to hear something like that. im so so sad about it #anyway i hope meryl stays safe shes done so much #i love her so much <3 #ruporas art

@melpcmene continued from here!

Hawkish eyes narrow at him in the familiar comical judgment, tugging her glass of water closer to herself with a little huff of 'big baby' under her breath in an affectionate drawl. Perhaps there was no getting used to him entirely, and frankly she didn't want to get used to his brand of behavior.

"I'm paid well enough- and you use up enough of it anyway. No little badges required." She sniffed, giving his boot a little nudge with her own, tempted to round back to her original statement and hound the typhoon; if it wouldn't make her a blaring hypocrite. "Speaking of my money if you don't finish your drink and sandwich there I will get Milly on you."

#melpcmene #stories told | meryl #I had to jump the bandwagon lol #harass your local Plant today kids #nice to meet you! #also apologies I'm still in the process of getting manga icons from some friends jbkddl

[sludgeguzzler]

i love watching trigun with my friends bc well be sitting in silence and vash will do anything LITERALLY ANYTHING and both of them will go "GOD. i HATE this guy" or "gay behavior imo" and wolfwood will be absent for one (1) episode and everyone starts asking "wheres wolfwood i want to see wolfwood"

#THEY SAID VASH LOKED STUPID WITH HIS HAIR DOWN AND I WAS LIKE WHAT!!!!!!!!! #that is my literal girlfriend you SHUT UP about him #im not kidding something abou his features + hair down makes me feel things #anywho everyone lves milly and agrees she has never done anything wrong ever #and everyone thinks meryls annoying for not believing vash was vash for. way too long. #but now were all vibing with her shes cool
