#tristampparty day 4, episode 4: hungry!

HAPPY WOLFWOOD WEDNESDAY AND DAY 4 OF @tristampparty!! i've watched this episode at least half a dozen times so... LET'S GOOOOO

it's been pointed out a million times already but lol lmao even. i want to eat rocks.

this is more subtle if you dont know japanese but wolfwood being introduced in episode 4 is also a death flag. did they plan it this way on purpose. (4=shi=death)

also the radio dj for this episode is masaya onosaka again!

it just breaks my heart, man. god when i read volume 7 and realized that's where orange got this from. man. man.

wolfwood getting hit by the truck is funny i'm sorry.

okay i'm kind of confused actually about what the plan was here... like we know that wolfwood was sent to be vash's guide, but him getting hit by the truck was OBVIOUSLY NOT PLANNED so the group finding zazie at the fuel station wasn't planned either. like. based on what zazie says later in the episode, they were "helping" wolfwood gain vash's trust by creating an enemy for them to face together. so did zazie just do all of this on the fly? should i just assume that zazie knows everything that's going on all the time? did they see what was going on from the worm cloud above that we see at the start of the episode? even though those worms were just... microbial? so they determined which fuel station the truck was going to stop at and killed the people there and disguised themself... that must have been what happened, right?

and what's with this. there was a post i saw a while ago where op said they don't like how orange adapted this scene. because the context is changed. because zazie and wolfwood are working together so instead of this being an act of genuine kindness wolfwood is just... acting i guess. but i don't know. does wolfwood even know this is zazie at this point. maybe he's stupid idk KLJDSFKLSDFJ or is it that he can't help himself because zazie LOOKS like a child?? I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS SCENE NOW.

this is clearly an act though i mean unless orange has some insane as-yet-unseen backstory for zazie, these aren't genuine tears

it's so funny how vash gives roberto the bill like this. like, "daaaad..."

so he says, with zazie at the center of the composition.

they tried to spike him up a little bit, but no matter how you look at him, i don't think he's worthy of the title of needle-noggin. this is just wolfwood subconsciously remembering what he called vash in previous timelines (<- JOKE)

i wonder about this. the only "human" who can control worms is zazie. humans, plural, though? how many human disguises has zazie taken on over the years?

wolfwood has given negative reasons for vash to trust him. this is just vash subconsciously remembering his relationship with wolfwood in previous timelines (<- JOKE)

vash's little sneeze after him and wolfwood get sneezed out of the worm is sooooo cute

they're just lying out their ass they're fully aware that vash is a plant

ehhh i've said this before but i don't like how orange adapted zazie... they're very different from their manga counterpart. they're one of the most changed characters i think. i don't like their design that much either... the half-pants... idk... i like the bug mask at least...? i like that there's some insect-like design elements but... eh...

honestly shout out to these guys. the real stars of this episode fr

interesting how roberto is the one who distrusted wolfwood the most but doesn't actually oppose wolfwood going with them...? meryl is the one most opposed...

I'VE WATCHED THIS EPISODE SO MANY TIMES AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ZAZIE MEANS HERE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN KILLING FRIENDS. WOLFWOOD DOESN'T DO THAT. HE HAS NEVER DONE THAT.

what moment does he mean. talking about his gate so does he mean in episode 3? from when... right before he shot his gun at knives, maybe? there was a weird aura... i thought it was because of what knives did to vash's gun but... uhhh.... uhhhhhhhhhhhhh (steam comes out of my ears from thinking too hard)

uhhhh. this is ninelives. there's more than one of him. is this how they adapted ninelives... instead of being piloted by nine guys there are nine... of him... like... nine big guys... nine robots(?)...????

haha. yeah. and knives hates that. :')

that ends episode 4... we're really getting into it now...

anyway do u guys wanna hear about my trigun furry au i've thought too much about for no good reason. i can't finish the stuff i wanna draw until my shoulder heals so here's the lore

all plants are kestrels. normal plants are common kestrels (domina is a rock kestrel, which was originally thought to be a subspecies of common kestrels) knives & vash are mauritius kestrels & tessla was a reunion kestrel, which is a close relative that's currently extinct. because of this & the overall low population of bird people on noman's land, the eye of michael sees kestrels as holy & all other birds as sort of divine, which is great for livio and razlo, because theyre a vulture, which is one of the reasons chapel thinks so highly of razlo (he's still an amazing fighter tho i mean obviously, this is LR). this also gives them like. a very specific type of christian trauma. sorry <3 oh also rem was an owl

being a wasp, legato doesn't really have the same thing going on, but he insists that his wings make him more worthy of serving knives. he's managed to manipulate his natural venom to completely put people under his control. all of the other gung-ho guns are insects, except for dominque, who is a snake & chapel (him & nick are both canines). unless you count spiders as insects? leonoff is a spider (are scorpions insects? elendira is a scorpion)

milly meryl & roberto are all reptiles so sometimes milly & meryl will cuddle up to vash & wolfwood & use that as an excuse. since meryl's a gecko she's used her tail to capture vash a few times when they first met, since he kept running away. wolfwood is, obviously, a wolf, & tries to do that whole "you shouldn't expect me not to hurt people. wolves are predators" & vash responds pointing out wolves are also pack animals, so wolfwood traveling alone & being so suspicious of everyone must pain him, too. for maximum angst potential i've decided humans used to exist but don't anymore, so both vash & wolfwood are aware that wolves had been wiped out in certain countries bc they were seen essentially as mindless killing beasts & how hard people had to fight for the same thing not to happen in america. extremely great things to give a guy a chip on his shoulder, especially when he's been made into a killer against his will
