no matter what kind of day i'm having, vash having a worse one

I grew up in the Sonoran. The summer heat is brutal, but it's amazing. Those pics of the Sonoran? Yes, it's really like that. (Homesickness for Arizona sets in). Well, in the places that are still wild. I took a trip to see my family last year and everything's getting built up and gentrified fast. Ugh. Anyway, some good reference pics for people doing fanwork for Trigun. Please, please imagine No Man's Land like this! I know we mostly see just sand in Stampede and flatlands in the original anime, but the original anime and the manga had some great landscapes of weathered rock. Note all of the cool colored layers exposed by erosion. Geologists's paradise.

“oh, I live in a desert and-”

“wow that must be so terrible” “deserts are so ugly” “I would never want to live in a wasteland like that” “it’s just empty nothingness”

wishing 10,000 exploding hammers upon you

behold New Mexico

[ID 1: tall, snowcapped rocky mountains rising above a plain filled with desert scrub

ID 2: brightly colored banded cliff walls of several mesas climbing their way into mountains

ID 3: a desert prairie

ID 4: colorful hoodoos against a twilight sky

ID 5: white sand dunes as far as the eye can see

ID 6: a collection of hoodoos against a stormy sky at sunset

ID 7: a juniper tree standing with a cliff wall in the background

ID 8: several juniper trees on a rocky landscape]

one of the worst feelings in fandom is when the canon version of a character is one of your favorites ever but their fanon interpretation is just something you want to dropkick into a dying star and watch it all go supernova hopefully from close enough that it will obliterate you and your memory of what the fandom did to them in the process

On my one long, ongoing multichapter fanfic for this fandom (so far), I feel like, based on the relatively few comments I get per-chapter that I am writing (besides for myself) for exactly two people... But I love making those two people happy.

The show got to the Holy Shit Quotient right quick!

Its still so funny to me how people in the very beginning complained about Stampede being a "cutesy dumbed down for kids version" of Trigun as if 98 Trigun (which Stampede isnt even based on) wasnt just.... "If Looney Tunes was a space western" for almost the entire first half of the series. Meanwhile Stampede stopped being silly and funny by ep 3 already.

I am overjoyed that, while the Trigun fandom be brimming with yaoi, that it seems like everyone here respects the wonderful forces of nature that are Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson. Precious beans. Beautiful badasses. Trigun fandom, you do things right!

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

One of my favorite things about Vash is that he is a contradiction within himself.

He is someone who has almost no self worth, yet simultaneously knows exactly who he is.

He’s at war internally:

Self-worth versus self-identity

family reunion (you can guess where it's happening)
