#ciircuit rambles

I love Vash the Stampede. He's a pacifist. He's a hypercompetent gunman. He's a Christ figure. He's a sillie little guy. He wears hipster glasses and a gay earring. He's perpetually in mourning. He's a manmade horror beyond human comprehension, somewhere between a nuclear reactor and a biblically accurate angel. He's pathetic. He likes doughnuts. If you squint at the lore, he's transgender. There's a cute cat that follows him around. He falls in love with a man. The tall-tale-sounding legends about him are true, and he's miserable about it. No, I meant it about that manmade horror thing, he can vaporize cities like it's nothing. There's a scene where he obliviously dances his way into a hostage situation. He wears a trench coat in the desert heat. He has an evil twin. He's emotionally perceptive but horrible at communicating. If conflict is a trolley problem, he solves it by chucking himself onto the tracks, and he's riddled with scars from it. He's a century and a half old and is destined to watch those he loves wither and die around him or fall to darkness. He loves everyone anyway, fiercely, recklessly, though usually from arm's length. When he does truly let someone in, love changes him in ways that will haunt me for years. He's painfully human

Your trans eight-year-old angel-alien cannot be trusted to pick out a new name by himself, he might choose something like “Knives”

Y’all are sleeping on some of these options smh

Personally, when I picked scarab, I was imagining a giant dark flower scarab or some other fluffy, pollinating species. Mix up huge quantities of sugar water for them to drink. Put a harness on them and let them buzz around outside. Pet their fuzzy belly! It’s a bumblebee, but without the part where it might sting you. Though there are so many other scarabs. Imagine having a Hercules beetle the size of a Great Dane. You could probably ride the beetle like a pony at that point. Scarabs come in a dazzling array of colors and fancy headgear.

Hissing cockroaches are also rad as hell. Yeah, yeah, it’s a giant roach. But think of it like a big docile roomba that might have the capacity to enjoy your company, since they’re somewhat social and also you’re the one giving them food.

And mantises! You’d probably have to get them feeder mice like you do with a snake (or maybe there would be supersized flies, crickets, and dubias for them, that’d be better), but they’re inquisitive and clever insects. There would be so many videos on the Internet of people’s pet mantises doing silly things, like perching on their owner’s back, or threat-displaying at a stray cat, or tilting their head at a TV show.

*normal bug behavior still applies good luck

I got him a snack

Me: 2 Oreos and an Adderall breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that’s right

My guardian angel (currently taking the form of Vash the Stampede to try and get me to listen to him): Do we think maybe a vegetable would be more “love and peace?”

Something something sometimes you have to be a little mentally ill to get better. Anyway

This ^ fictional idiot man is probably like half the reason I am not currently dysphoric about having Big Prominent Babygirl Eyelashes

Now that I’m on T I am eagerly awaiting the day I get to grow shitty scraggly facial hair that my family will hate

Thinkin about Wolfwood's fanon Eye of Michael tattoo

This's a headcanon I follow- I draw him with a small one at the base of his neck- but there's more to it because overthinking go brrr. Why's he have it? Well, he didn't want it, but he didn't get much choice in the matter. I imagine every member of the Eye having one as an identifying mark. As a follow-up: why does he still have it? Simple. It heals

LR's tattoo seems to canonically work the same way; he takes an explosion to the face at one point and once he's healed the design's intact. (Which also means it's probably modified skin instead of ink but whatever.) And I think Wolfwood's tried to get a cover-up, but it didn't exactly stick around. Even if Chapel put up with it for some reason, it'd be eroded away injury by injury until nothing was left of it

So Wolfwood carries with him an indelible reminder of the monster he thinks he is

Walking around with a cardstock sign safety-pinned to my shirt that says “I know well-thought-out media analysis is important but also I just like rambling sometimes”

I think everyone should get one consequence-free all-nighter per year. Never for work, but for pure indulgence in the act of creation

On an unrelated note, I spent all Halloween’s Eve night finishing my costume and slept in by four hours today. Oops
