I see you already like the idea of Vampire!VW. May I please posit: Vampire!Vash and Werewolf!Wolfwood?? 👀

ehe, yes, i think vampire!vash and werewolf!wolfwood is cute! i've seen it throughout the fandom, but i don't have a lot of good ideas when it involves the pair of them as vampire and werewolf aside from aesthetically. if anyone wants to enlighten me more, feel free :D i do think if i was to spin a tale for them, it'd be a tristamp one, rare as it is on my page…

Hi there, this might be stupid but I don't have anyone else to spew this to so I suppose you just have to endure my self-indulgent ramblings. Sorry in advance!! I've been thinking a lot about, like, Wolfwood with wings? Not like, an AU where he's been a Plant all along but where something happened that forced them out of him, maybe something with the tincture/vials or being in the proximity of one of Vash's sisters when he takes one or perhaps even something the Eye of Michael did right at the beginning that was lying dormant until they felt the ned to active it, I don't know- this probably sounds so stupid. I'm just imagining this painful, confusing, otherworldly thing happening to Wolfwood that he doesn't understand, seeing the black feathers crawling across his skin and sprouting from his shoulders, thinking himself more of a monster than he already is because he obviously isn't human, he isn't Plant, he isn't even like Vash, so what is he other than another kind of monster, more fucked up than he used to think that Vash was?? And Vash just looking at Wolfwood with his sharp claws and his fangs and his glowing eyes and the feathers sprouting from his arms and face and chest, at the big black wings that extended from his back to stretch around him like a funeral shroud, understanding the pain and the fear and the feral instability of something unthinkable happening that he couldn't comprehend, knowing that Wolfwood was thinking about himself as a monster just like Vash did, and being in the unique position of being able to help him through it, helping him understand what was happening to him and aiding in dissipating the feathers and fangs and claws and helping him recover in the aftermath. I don't know, this might be stupid and crazy but. I can't stop thinking about it. Thank you for coming to my ridiculous self-indulgent TED talk, thank you for everything you do.

hello! omg, getting this was such a lovely surprise, i love seeing the passion in this au. i love the concept of wolfwood with wings too (specifically a huge #fan of guardian angel wolfwood or some sort of angel with smaller wings than vash).

wolfwood is such a meant to be human, made to be human character that it always makes me a little sad to dip him into the creature zone because the confusion and distress he'd inevitably experience hurts me afgmskgmsd but Regardess, it's always a good angsty concept. piling on top of the way he views himself already, it's as though those thoughts physically manifest themselves and air it out for everybody to see. unable to deny what he has become when it's presented in such a blatant way.

from the way it's described, i'm imagining this to be like… mid way through the story, close to vol 7 :3 i think something like this happening after vash got his big scare with his powers becoming open to the world, a monster now openly claimed and known, he'd be scared, wracked with guilt, and struggle to navigate his own vulernabilities to properly help wolfwood. at the same, wolfwood is understanding vash better, acknowledging the person he is despite his other worldliness and thinking of the impending doom on humanity if vash doesn't get to knives, i think amidst his own self loathing, it's touched by fretting over vash and wanting to not hold them both down with this abrupt transformation. he'd likely push down his own fear to try and find a direct solution to stop the height of the transformation, to which vash would likely shred a sliver of vulnerability to give objective advice/assistance.

i like the idea of them settling down later and both of them being in the "what the fuck do we do now" phase and having no answer but can only discover the answer by navigating it slowly. having something like this happen would forcibly open a conversation of their experiences, i think, especially for wolfwood who might have to talk a bit about his EoM experience to give an inkling on how something like that could've happened. it's both kind of sweet and depressing how they'd get the chance to communicate more of their life to each other through this :'] an almost parallel experience… and i think vash would have to think about what could define a monster, he'd certainly view himself as one but not wolfwood.

i wish i had more creative fuel to churn your vision out into a drawing but i couldn't come up with anything cool enough to match the descriptions…

i'm not sure if you've seen it from me yet, but i did do a plant-related thing that follows a similar horrified discovery for wolfwood / being changed into a half-human half-plant sometime ago, in case you might want to see more feathery woowoo! it has trimax spoilers (post trimax) so heed warning, but here's the asks:

thank you for sharing this with me! it's fun to think about it, always a joy to wolfwood in Situations… just constantly experiencing the horrors, but at least he isn't alone..!

Hi all! Recently, Marah @mahrahpalestine has not only had her previous blog terminated, but her family has been unable to transfer money from GFM. This has been happening with quite a few Palestinian campaigns lately. I will now be hosting their family's campaign on Chuffed, which is openly pro-Palestine!

Please support this campaign! Thank you!!

Sample Vash has arrived!! He’s just as smiley as he is in all the photos…

His red coat, the under attire, his little shoes, and his prosthetic!! Fits well on him, I'm so enamored...

All and all, I’m very happy with how he looks, but some adjustments still need to be made!! I’ll be changing: eye color (green to more turquoise), adjusting his scars + plate placements, the backside of his jacket (removing the white disc and cropping the upper half better), and changing the grey-black to the same black as Wolfwood’s hair.

If there’s any other suggestions, please let me know and I’ll consider it if it’s possible :] I’ll be closing the interest check today! Preorder will highly likely be in Late January. Thank you for all the responses so far!!

And on a side note, they are together now…❤️🖤

And I also wanted to share this discovery now that I get to see it in person. The difference is beautiful.

the interest check for the max vash plushie is finally available! he's the same size as his buddy wolfwood and comes with numerous accessories. there's more photos on the form itself, including what the current sample looks like.

⭐ MINIWOO UPDATE ⭐

Hello! It's been a sec, but I have some news!

All the freebies have been delivered to me!! All the Miniwoos will be going under quality check next week and then they'll be sent to me! There's a chance I'll have everything ready by the end of December :D But I don't want to take risks in the midst of busy Holiday mailing, so I'll take the extra time to be super thorough into putting my love and care into packing the Miniwoos. He should be set to be shipped out in Early January, as I originally hoped!

Thank you all for your patience and please keep looking forward to him ^^

On a side note, I've been busy working on his buddy's sample, which is also soon to be on the way to me... Interest check very soon!

[ruporas]

⭐️ Q&A from the form!

1. Will Miniwoo be available again?

He will be available for preorder the same day as Vash! But there’s a minimum amount of orders needed to make sure he can be made, otherwise he won’t be put into production again. It’ll all depend on how many people will get him in this 2nd run after I sell the stock I have left :’3

2. Color adjustments for eyes+ brighter red coat?

I’ll adjust his eyes to a turquoise color, but I might back pedal on this if when I get the sample and end up really liking green… I’ll keep everyone post on this decision! For the coat, I’ll ask manu and see what they have available!!

3. Other accessories (glasses, pistol)?

I won’t be able to do these, sorry!

4. Stretch goal freebies?

I’ll do the same stretch goal freebies as Miniwoo so please expect postcards, button pin, and a sticker sheet!! Still thinking on it, but there’ll be a 4th item! Maybe an acrylic charm like Miniwoo, maybe something else.

Clarifications: The prosthetic is detachable. It’s connected to him by magnets! The head is 4 inch tall. The gold earring was changed to silver to be MAX canon accurate (I always forget it’s silver, not gold😓)

Thank you everyone for the feedback so far!!! I’m happy to see the interest and all the comments, it seems like he’ll be possible 🥺 The interest check will continue to be available until I get his sample!

the interest check for the max vash plushie is finally available! he's the same size as his buddy wolfwood and comes with numerous accessories. there's more photos on the form itself, including what the current sample looks like.
