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

i refuse to believe that castiel

who canonically describes dean’s driving (and indeed all automobiles) as “slow”

who made hannah the angel nauseated with his driving and promised to take the curves faster

is a granny driver

#lead foot #impatient #bat outta hell #yes yes cas says he can follow directions and says he has an excellent sense of direction #reality though…he has always broken rules esp when they make no logical sense #primarily he is impatient with cars #they stop he abandons them rather than investigate #impatient impatient impatient #cars are slow boring and when they break fuck em and steal a new one #grand theft auto cas

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

#eleven had a bunch of episodes that were just hard to follow and thus hard (for me) to emotionally engage in #twelve is awful to people and this does deeply suck sometimes esp when it's just very unneeded #like insulting danny's intelligence or being randomly mean to courtney (what would i give for her and twelve to be given more time #and fleshed out a bit. why does he initially take her into the tardis? can we see more of that?) #but god. is mr capaldi bringing his 1000% everything to this role #those monologues ohhh yeah baby. all the episodes are leaning into the doctor feeling their age and the weight of the universe #w not much left to shield themself from that. so like. i buy it. he's just so fun to watch #and i know he gets like. progressively nicer as his era goes on so i have that to look forward to #dr who #i am being picky abt how clara is written bc im now measuring her against the standards of martha and donna #two of my fav characters in the whole show. by m*ffat standards s8 clara is blowing everybody out of the water #12 era

do you ever think about how branch said the only brother he'd ever consider doing the family harmony for is floyd.

floyd, who branch arguably has the most reason to be upset/angry at, because he's the one who promised to come back, who promised to find branch again, who told him to look after their grandma, leading to branch feeling so much guilt over her death.

floyd, who has the most to apologize for, but who branch absolutely forgives the quickest, because no matter what, floyd is absolutely and one hundred percent his favorite brother

someone send help i rewatched tbt and now i'm emotional over trolls again

#branch and floyd's relationship is everything to me actually #tbh the bond between two immediate older/younger siblings is something different #esp if they're close in age #so i absolutely think floyd and branch have that type of relationship #but still #i think abt that and get v emotional #trolls #trolls band together #listen y'all signed up for my hyperfixations when you followed me

thinking about that post comparing max verstappen to kevin day and i just keep thinking like. could you imagine post-aftg kevin having an altercation on the court and when he's asked to comment he just goes "I don't really have a lot to comment on that. Except that he was being a pussy."

#like mad max era kevin would go so hard #when he gets more comfortable expressing himself on camera rather than always hiding behind his media persona #obv he would never lose his media training completely but allowing himself to let lose a little more would be so meaningful. to me #i could just imagine the edits to come out of it with the crown being edited onto him and like the base drop #esp with like 2000s music would go so crazy #max verstappen #kevin day #f1 #formula 1 #the foxhole court #the raven king #the kings men #all for the game #aftg #losing followers bc i changed my theme and i havent made any posts in a while so #txt #form1

infinites 21-30, fun fact: i didnt look at a single ref of infinite for nearly the entire time i was doing this, which is why my drawings have little quirks like the extra notches at the tips of the ears on his mask and the general design of his shoes haha. i only made that mask ref tutorial thing after frontiers came out and it made me realize "hey i wasnt drawing this thing quite right for five months". but i still get compliments so i think i was close enough LOL

part 1 part 2

#engies daily dogs #my art #infinite the jackal #sth #sonic forces #ive looked at these drawings so much that i honestly forget that theyre considered new content to ppl here #esp everyone who doesnt already follow me on twitter lmfao #so when i see ppl commenting their reactions to certain ones im like. pleasantly surprised #like oh yeah this is the first time tumblr has seen any of these eh? #its nice :) #sage #shadow the hedgehog

another small detail in adofn that has been haunting me is the fact that wulf takes the newly born princess sabran to the tomb of an inyscan princess. not inysh, inyscan. keeping in mind how eller meant to mould glorian into “a queen of inysca” but failed—how incredibly poignant is it, then, that wulf seeks protection for his daughter in a place that symbolises the death of what she could have been.

#a day of fallen night #adofn #roots of chaos #the ‘seeking protection’ part is also. incredibly befitting of the way glorian—when faced with viewpoints that oppose her religion— #constantly refuses to challenge her own convictions and falls back on the sense of comfort and protection the six virtues provide #not that this is a personal fault unique to her but rather a paradigm of the way the faith of the six virtues functions esp wrt criticism #which is to say it doesn’t! criticism or questioning (whoever it comes from; whether they follow the faith or not) isn’t tolerated #either through fear of not having a place in halgalant or at the threat of being killed for heresy #etc etc I digress #sorry I just think virtudom is incredibly fascinating #though. tbh I just think everything in the roots of chaos series is incredibly fascinating #elli rambles #adofn spoilers #roc #r #a

does this count as foreshadowing....

I think in game it's kind of presented that Julie Farkas thinks poorly of, if not outright dislikes, the Great Khans which I guess is fair enough but also reeks of the attitude of the writers viewing drug addicts and raiders as subhuman. And I don't think really it lines up with either the Khan/Follower relationship depicted in game nor does it Follow Julie's reestablished personality. I think she's a little exasperated with them but not enough to warrent the "who? Oh you mean those raiders who used to clash with the vegas tribes 🙄" line that she has about them like cmon girl 1) people are like your only allies outside of Freeside and 2) why are you taking the Three Families side in this??? They're causing just as many if not more issues than the Khans even Arcade has lines about how the Families are exploiting Freeside and I can't think who else she means by "vegas tribes" Anyway. It does make sense for her to be annoyed with how they're causing more drug problems in Freeside but i don't think it makes sense for her to be written in a way that makes it sounds like she's angry with the Khans for *using their precious medical knowledge to make the evil morphine rather than the morally good morphine* when really she should be more angry with House/The Families for causing the poverty in Freeside and the NCR for forcing the Khans into the precarious position they're in while disallowing the Followers from truly helping them. The fact that by the time that Fnv comes around the Followers and NCR's relationship has broken down should be enough for the Followers to revisit relations with the Khans since, as I said, the Khans have been the only truly consistent allies of the Followers and more importantly, the NCR JUST MURDERED ALL THEIR CHILDREN. In this essay I will

#I'd love to explore a potential rewrite with her yknow with the Khans as I view them #Idk when but I'd like to I think Papa and Julie could have an interesting relationship #Txt #I used to get yelled at a lot on here for saying that the way the Followers are written kinda makes them look bad in the whole situation #With the Khans #Because shunning a group who just experienced a genocide because they're not following your morality is. Bad actually #But people get really heated about the Followers because they associate their own politics with them and take my critism of them personally #Anyway #It's their writing that I think makes them look bad and if I was rewriting them I would make them different #yes there are plenty of medical professionals esp those in emergency medicine like Julie who think addicts are evil #But I don't think Julie should be written like that and the writers were wrong for doing her dirty like that #She deserves to be a complex character who is politically minded as well as medical #And personally I think her fighting on the Khans side just makes more sense #And getting them involved instead of the garret twins would have been cool #But yeah the way the Followers and their interactions with drug addicts in game is blatantly written by someone who thinks poorly of addict #Sorry

Okay fuck it here we go it's been one minute. Pack Leader Rex AU time.

First off, it is not an AU where Rex is evil. It's more of a...I guess placement swap? Between VK and Rex. In this AU, VK was found and captured by Providence a year ago to study his nanite absorbing powers, and Rex started befriending and collecting EVO pals until they eventually formed the Pack, and found Abysus to be a place Providence would not enter.

So in this universe, Rex, Bobo (yes unfortunately he's there but he's MY version bc I refuse to look at him in canon), Biowulf, Breach and Skalamander are the original Pack members, people Rex picked up like he picked up the Hong Kong crew before. The fic idea does also start with them picking up Circe - so she remains as someone new to the Pack, trying to figure out her place. The Abysus castle becomes a safe house for all the EVOs they've picked up over the years - an actual community of incurables, with those that they can cure being returned via Breach portal to their families.

That's the general setup - really just, a swap. What makes the AU so exciting for me though is the character dynamic, I'm a sucker for Found Families with Barriers.

First off, Six and Holiday still work for Providence. They both still believe in a cure, and when Providence discovers this EVO that can cure people and is also seemingly amassing an army, they try to get their mitts on him and stop this threat in its track. Six ends up being the first Providence agent to make contact with Rex - and the first agent to realize this is a child they're dealing with, not a monster. Holiday knew this, already - but they have to work on figuring out ways to help out Rex and look out for this kid without jeapordizing their jobs. Six can't abandon White, and Holiday can't abandon Beverly. They're stuck having to earn Rex's trust (granted, not that difficult compared to earning the trust of other Pack members). White is in charge of Providence still (idk how his ass got bleached yet), and instead of blaming Rex for his divorce and seeing the kid as a threat bc of the giant robot bullshit, he sees him as a threat for the potential army bullshit. Ironically he's the one that treats Rex the most like an adult, because he assumes malice from the kid for a long time.

On the flip side, the Pack is very close. They're actually friends, unlike canon. Breach and Rex and Circe hang out a lot, Circe and Rex don't have the initially antagonistic part of their relationship, but Circe still thinks Rex is stupid for trusting people so easily. Breach and Rex just kind of play Minecraft in her pocket dimension sometimes and have talks, and Skalamander,,,,doesn't have a whole lot of stuff to work with in canon so I'm still figuring him out. But Biowulf is the closest thing to a "parent" of the Pack, and he's bad at it. More of an anxious dog that still refers to Rex as Master (as much as Rex hates it, tries to tell him not to), still worships the kid to a degree while Rex is constantly trying to get Biowulf to just. Chill out. Tell him about his worries and talk things out.

There's definitely also an arc in mind where Providence does capture Rex and Holiday and Six have to struggle to protect him the best they can while White tries to bargain with the kid and the Pack freaks out and tries to figure out how to break him out.

#genrex #generator rex #pack leader rex au #I don't. Fully know everything in this AU yet but I'm just brainstorming. Being Insane #Caesar doesn't actually change much in terms of initial dynamic from canon he just lands in the Abysus lab instead of Providence HQ #And gets suspicion by everyone esp Biowulf but welcomed in by Rex #Definitely some scenes though where Rex learns to trust Six and Holiday by them helping him when Providence isn't looking #The juiciness of. We cannot spend much time together bc opposite sides of a war. But we learn to care for each other. #And also the juiciness of Biowulf being just as dedicated to a Rex that clearly does not want that level of dedication #Who prefers Biowulf as a friend not a follower. But he saved Biowulf's life and gave him a home and Biowulf can't let that go #Something something boy and his dog only the dog can speak and wants to maul everyone who looks at his boy funny

butter flop era

#i love when a post i’m really proud of just #completely flops #like i try not to care but #when a post i’m super happy with and super excited to share #gets like no notes #it’s really upsetting #idk like esp on this account #like on my acnh account i only have like 20 followers so i don’t care if a post has no notes #but on this account it’s super upsetting #idk i’m also upset bc like so many people randomly started following me out of no where recently #and now it’s like okay cool like why did you follow me if you don’t care about seeing my stuff #ahhh okay #whatever #i’m just upset #butter's thoughts

[gibbearish]

kinda frustrating how we've spent the last few months acknowledging how a lot of well intentioned but guilt trippy social justice posts are like specifically designed to worm into ocd ppls brains and then now every single post abt palestine is "i dont care how bad your mental health is, i dont care how bad looking at all this makes you feel, if you don't read every single post you see on this topic in full you are a horrible person and directly contributing to their deaths. 'waaaah my mental health' well at least youre not being bombed, did you think about that??" and its like. i absolutely get where youre coming from but you dont get to complain that guilt tripping is bad then turn around and use it anyways because you think the cause youre using it for is worthwhile. like. everyone thinks the cause theyre using it for is worthwhile, thats why theyre using it. but its still a shit way to do it

#like when you make a tumblr post to your tumblr blog youre not guilt tripping people who disagree with you #youre guilt tripping your followers who if theyre still following you probably already agree with what youre saying #and esp on a topic with so much brutality involved like. yeah OBVIOUSLY theres people who have to look away #like. yall know a bunch of these posts and articles and videos show graphic injuries in them right? #like i physically cant watch news videos abt this bc i will spend days with my brain making me imagine #peoples deaths in graphic detail specifically because it knows that will upset me. and i would prefer not to do that #in fact me doing that helps palestinians exactly as much as finishing my brussel sprouts helps starving kids #by which i mean none. its just a cheap guilt trip to get you to do something you don't want to #which when it's brussel sprouts thats whatever but when its 'deliberately expose yourself to extremely triggering #things otherwise youre a bad person'. not so much #idk i feel like maybe its due to ppl feeling. agitated abt not being able to do anything abt it #like the government isnt listening and we're a world away so physically /all/ we can do really is sit and watch #so i can understand a) wanting to find someone to lash out at to alleviate that feeling #like if you cant stop the actual problem at the very least you can shout down the people supporting it right? #and b) seeing 'not watching' or even just 'not watching as closely as i am' as a transgression #bc well its all we can do so if youre not even doing that you must be bad #and its like. i really do get it. but the whole world is watching right now‚ like this is THE big news thing happening rn #so a few people choosing to avoid to subject will not make a single iota of difference #idk. i guess what im saying is if youre feeling the urge to yell at someone for not looking close enough #just donate some money to a support fund instead itll do a lot more

the cannibalism community is too whitewashed for a brown butch like me :(

#i don't rly like interacting w mainstream horror anymore because damn u only get white long haired girls #if there's wlw romance it's almost always fem4fem #& most of the “cannibalism + horror + weird girl” blogs r just. white girls w long hair kissing other white girls. covered in blood #no place for a brown butch like me #anywho i have a lot of Thoughts on this. esp because some of the main horror blogs i follow aren't even vocal abt palestine #even when their evidently large fanbase could make a difference w their reblogs & whatnot #cannibalism has turned fun & quirky. smth “weird” girls do. everyone's the final girl. everyone loves cannibals #where are the themes n motifs?? everyone says “inherent eroticism” w/o meaning it nowadays #idk i feel like it's been so overused on tumblr y'all have milked it dry #🫀
