i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

#when penelope scott said ''you promised you'd be tesla but you're just another edison'' she was so right. she gets it #edit: now that this is getting popular i just want to say please don't deify/martyr tesla #yes he was dealt an awful hand but he also had some very bad opinions especially towards the end of his life. like eugenics #he was clearly struggling with untreated mental illness and was also a product of his time so i'm not trying to cancel him or anything lol #but people in the notes saying ''my poor baby boy tesla did nothing wrong'' is weird. you know that's weird right. #daze.txt #100 #500 #1k #5k #10k #20k #30k #40k #50k #60k #70k #80k #90k #100k #speechless btw. about the 100k notes thing

I love to hear what people say about Youtube Drama* but it's SO tacky when it gets so offbase that the posts people make start to be about completely off topic infighting within the Watcher fanbase

#but god it IS fun to read about this kind of thing #asterisk on the drama bc this is not like a Scandal per se #this was a business decision made On Purpose #it's not like when sniperwolf stalked a guy and posted a pic of his home to her fans #or when the guy from tryguys fucked one of his employees Who He Himself Hired while also monetizing his wife and kids on the channel #this is different bc it's like. on purpose. #I DIGRESS.... #you guys should see some of it in the watcher tag it's crazy. people are pointing at randos just bc they're already annoyed #i'll give you the clifnotes version which is that i got to see one where somebody has decided that the Steven Hate is actually ppl #revealing that they simply have just been racist at him the whole time. fwiw the steven roasting is bc he's an out of touch Tesla Boy #and bc he brought a homophobic evangelical pastor on the channel #and cockily admitted to being friends w people who are homophobic and racist... his own words #like he has verbally admitted to maintaining friendships with racists so i don't think people are really thinking this one through #these were new to me I was down to roast him for being rich and boring alone #also this reasoning kind of falls apart bc Ryan is literally Right There and people love Ryan #sergle.txt

last thing i’ll say; people aren’t owed free content but creatives aren’t owed financial compensation either

#i say all this as a cretive btw lets head that off #their bottom line was ‘we want more money to make bigger things and we cant afford to so we want more money in order to do them’ #and that is a valid desire #but you cant just expect everyone to go along with that just bc you want it #watcher got where they are due to a loyal viewer base #to reject money from corporations in favour of money from that viewer base? thats skeevy #to default to a complete and absolute paywall removing all your content then pretend that you weren't going to? thats skeevy #to make a countdown to an announcement then make the announcement a somber trip down memory lane #and an ‘if only we can make more stuff like this wink wink’? thats skeevy #and its skeevy bc theyre a company and no matter how personable they are companies are not your friend #are they the rich we should be eating? no #but when your ceo drives a tesla and eats expensive food that is written off as a buisness expense #AND you have a patreon that you dont capitalise on but still brings you on average 100k a month #you cant act like youre a hard done by creative #endevouring to make more elaborate creations is a good idea #monetisation is a good idea #absolute monetisation with no thought to an alternative isnt #name one indie artist that relies entirely on paid content ill wait #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #watcher #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #hey there demons it’s me ya boy #ghost files

[rice-pudding-slaps]

every singles person who blames the watcher thing on steven and acts like he masterminded s leech operation on poor shane and ryan is dumb as fuck btw. i assure you, there's no evil force behind it and no zillionaire pulling the strings of your poor boys uwu. these are grown adults that made a horrid bussines decision and your poor uwu babies are not inocent pets. grow up

#watcher #like sorry but if I see someone else on that point i might just bite them #idc if he has 10 teslas #the three of them manage watcher stop acting like they're being puppeteered innocent soft uwu boys they're grown men #also he doesn't deserve the harassment he's getting

TriStamp AU where everything is the same, except Vash and Knives can turn smol.

General concept is that after the whole Tesla situation, the next time Independents were going to be born, the plants went "Aight, if the humans won't be nice to just human-looking baby Independents, what if we made it so they could look even cuter sometimes."

The smolification can be voluntary, but is instinctively triggered by fear or injury. The twins get better about controlling/resisting the transformation as necessary as they get older, but it's still there.

Episode Eleven: To a New World

Deep breaths. Uh, pre-emptive apologies; I keep the tightest grip I can over my tone, but this ep sliced me off at the knees. There's a lot of anger in it.

I like Wolfwood. Lots of people do. And I like Knives. Besides Vash himself they pop up on my dash more frequently than any other character. Maybe I like Knives more than Wolfwood because I enjoy poking his horrible trash brain with a stick, but Nick's certainly got his charms.

But I can't get around it. This is the episode where Knives... violates Vash. And this is the episode where Wolfwood turns his back as Vash is screaming in pain and despair, reliving all the worst moments of his life. For reasons (I'M WORKING ON IT and they're not that Meryl is The Girl), Wolfwood was never going to be the one to save Vash from his agony. Back in the initial watch, before I knew anything else, I knew it just wasn't going to happen.

So, sorry, Nick - you’ve had a rough time, but I still giggled when Meryl kicked you in the shin as you tried to pretend you didn't give a shit. I needed the levity. Off you go, brood over your sins and the whatnot. I'm sure Vash is gonna be just fine.

And you, Millions Knives. Today it's the tire iron.

This is the first time we finally see him fully revealed - full face, cloak discarded, even his thoughts themselves laid bare. (By the way, he's not actually naked; that's just a very, very tight bodysuit. I think he wears it so he looks like his idea of what a Masculine Plant is, like an Italian Renaissance sculpture. Also pretty sure he made it himself. Without it, he'd look just as human as Vash does.) Knives spends a lot of time talking, often very passionately... but you still cannot trust anything he says to be the truth; not about himself, not about Vash. At best, there might be a tiny sprinkle of truth prettying up a great big lie. Or he genuinely believes what he's saying; it's just that he's confidently wrong. I don't doubt, for instance, that Vash really is motivated by a lot of guilt over the Fall, not least because Knives was the one who put that guilt on Vash and left it to slowly consume him. Nonetheless I always think back to the line, "Does their praise cure it? The loneliness?" because, well, no? It doesn't? Because that’s not the point. Vash doesn't do what he does for praise or to avoid loneliness. If you try and tell him he's good at something he brushes you off - "just lucky!" and then he's vanished through the backdoor before you can thank him.

Similarly, we see a moment where Knives just straight up changes reality to suit his narrative - when poor Rollo called for Vash, he said that he wanted to live. In Knives's world, he begs Vash for death.

When Knives says these things, it's not accurate criticism of Vash, or of his philosophy, or even anything to do with the Plants. It's not the truth. It's not an argument. It's a probe.

Especially in this episode. Knives is trying to rip Vash open. He’s searching for the points where he can apply pressure - the most efficient means to break him down. How true his words are is not relevant. Only whether or not they hurt Vash, weaken his resolve, undermine his ego and confidence - which he already barely has anyway because of Knives.

Why the hell would he do this? I mean, as much as I can be sure of anything with this guy, I’m sure that Knives loves Vash very much. His brother might well be all that he loves - all that he has left. We can argue about what kind of love (though it's really not a debate I want to get into, so I’ll capitalise the words Very Normal and leave it at that). But it is love. Forget about the higher plane and the dependent Plants (which is to say I'll try and find a way to get down my thoughts on them, but not at this time). Knives is doing what he’s doing because he loves Vash.

Specifically, he’s doing it so that Vash won't leave him.

Imagine how the moments before the crash must have felt for Rem. Every second counts in an emergency, and yet she took the time, perhaps selfishly, to ensure her children escaped before anyone else. I think she'd already decided to go back for the sleepers, but the longer she went without doing so the less possible it became and the harder it got to keep her resolve. Still she took those precious moments, the last they ever had together, for the love of her boys. A chance was all she had to give them, but her work was done too soon.

And Nai. With the knowledge of the rest of the series he was acting so calm because he planned this, and it went just the way he expected it would – until the moment he reached out his hand, and Rem said no. We don't see his face, but we do see Vash, pleading desperately, thrown hard back into his seat, and it was Nai who did that when Rem refused him.

Remember? Nai offered Rem a choice.

So to Knives, that left Vash to be only thing in the world that matters as much completing his crusade. I suspect he views the two as the same goal – having Vash back means killing the humans, and killing the humans means Vash is his. His and Vash's safety, togetherness, and freedom means there must be absolutely nothing left of humanity.

Even if it's the intrinsic humanity of his brother. (And of him. But he's not going to acknowledge that. Nope.)

So Knives didn't simply want Vash without his memories. Knives is a perfectionist - he hates to even admit to the possibility that he might have made a mistake, to the point where he assigns all blame for his actions to Vash. Vash's emotional development under his total control would be too unpredictable, too likely to fail. If given a choice, Vash could make the same choice that Rem did (again), and that risk is simply unacceptable.

So what Knives wants is for Vash to be without autonomy, devoid of independence - a shadow that he casts, empty of agency save that which Knives enacts through him. A graven image. Depending only upon him. Needing only him. If it means he'll finally be first before humanity, rather than alongside or behind them, he won't be all alone. It's only together that they can be perfect, because it's obviously what Vash is for.

After all, they're twins. Vash was born to be with Knives.

I'm sure he's just happy to be useful.

old shane would want us to pirate watcher content

oh, yeah. without any hesitation, either. he'd tell us to rob new Shane and leave his body for the dogs.

#i guess it starts small you know #you gain a following get some notoriety #so you move to L.A w your boys and start making some Serious money #then you buy a Tesla #and suddenly you start to think “maybe capitalism isn't so bad after all.” #but that's the devil speaking.

Huh, turns out Tessla really did wake up and choose violence in the TriStamp universe...But I kinda doubt she still approved Knives of doing, in order:

-Threaten Conrad at knife-point but keep him alive to create the Eye of Michael and the Plant-hybrid experiments with orphans. -Destroy towns and cities to "save" the Plants when they're being overused or near-death, but leaving said-overused Plants in Julai with no way to properly heal them. -Consistently traumatizing/gaslighting Vash and dropping him in The Soup (and you know…Episode 11), as well as Knives retraumatizing himself (and by extension Tess) by violently killing innocent lives in a bid to “give the Sinners their due punishment” and pushing Tess to reactively lash out at anyone who tries to hurt them or even get close to them…

I mean, if you put it into that context, then the entire battle at ep 12 is Knives having a three-way brawl instead; both with Vash and Tessla, with his sentient security blanket finally having enough with him constantly violating the other Plants’ autonomy and free will.

Like damn, way to dampen Knives’ already-sour mood getting booted out of the higher plane and choosing to help her "younger" brother for once after the mindfuck he went through. 80% of the battle the whips are even just dragging behind him or and not in attack mode anymore unless Knives forces it to happen (ie. burning himself out quicker). But hey, already crossing fingers they expand on all this in Season 2.

every time I think about how tristamp Knives swears he doesn't like food I wonder if maybe Rem was just kinda bad at cooking lmao

like, you wouldn't think it would put someone off from food so much, but one time my little sister had a family friend's kid over for a sleepover and this kid swore up and down that she did not like spaghetti. Like, outright said she hated it. My mom thought it was weird because she's never met a kid who actually hates noodles, so she suggested that the girl could try a bite and see if she really hated it.

So she took a bite

and then another bite

and then another

and eventually went through 3 whole plates of spaghetti going "Wow this is really good!! I didn't know it could taste this good!!!"

and it turns out she didn't hate spaghetti, but rather that her stepdad couldn't cook at all lmao

So maybe Rem's food isn't the, uh, best?

#trigun stampede #trigun #ilu Rem but no kid should look at a massive sugary cake with fresh strawberries on top and go ''ugh do I have to 😒'' #Vash is immune to it because he gives off those ''little boy who could eat a tin can if you put it in front of him'' vibes #If Tesla hadn't gotten all fucked up and Knives stayed relatively normal he'd totally be the type to passive-aggressively gift a cookbook

Cursed thought: would the Tesla car in space become sentient in 17776

god i hope not. why would you say this
