Trigun makes my brain go so crazy that I have, genuinely, been entertaining the thought of writing literature-degree-type essays on it for fun. Like cracking open books, going back into lit theory, references and everything. Just because I enjoy thinking about it and talking about it that much. Oh god

#look I wrote my undergrad dissertation on monster plants in sci-fi #with one of my running points being that. they're monstrous to us because they are fundamentally impossible to understand #from our own limited viewpoint #that we place humans as seperate from everything else to our own detriment #and the horror of these plants that are not Quite plant (as we have defined it)#but also not Quite human or anything else we can understand #is a horror that stems from our inability to understand and connect in a fundamental way #that it's kind of a language problem and kind of OUR problem #and like. trigun right?#... I'm gonna have to crack open my dissertation again and just. slowly descend into madness about this ahdkkflflf #kim shhh #I'm sat on the bathroom floor typing this #having a normal one ahdjkfkf #that dissertation is the most fun I've had writing anything for my degrees I'm just kinda floored that I can make this connection #(get it floored. I'm on the floor. please laugh)#if I'd read trigun back in 2020 when I wrote that whole thing... hoooooly fuck can you imagine ahkdkfkflf
