#gate thoughts?

[nijishinki]

So, I have a thought on Vash’s healing/gate/destruction abilities

I watched Trigun Stampede and I loved it. And of corse this spawned multiple thoughts that I need to share with people or I go crazy

They say he’s the only one who can take and give to the other plane, which is shown in the way he can heal and that literal black hole he opened on his arm. I also think that be can heal by either pulling from the plane and giving to the plants by just energizing them or maybe reforming a connection with the plane.

But he also eats more compared to Nai. I think him eating is another way of storing energy to either convert into healing energy or into destructive energy. Like he can go some time without eating and drinking, and while I don’t know if he can go so long like Nai or other plants, he can still do it. Thus, the energy from the food may be able to be given back to the plants.

This may also be why he can get tired after healing because he didn’t pull from the gate he pulled from himself. Or he gets tired because he’s literally got a doorway in him and I’m sure that’s a lot of power to have to manipulate.

For the black hole, I think that opened because he was distressed and was literally in a room where some uncountable number of plants just died. It may have opened as the result of trying to balance out such a pull or loss from the other plane. Or it was a protective instinct maybe in reaction to the number of plant deaths and his own distress.

And since he can pull energy from the other side, it may explain where that destructive energy for his angel arm comes from, along with his own energy that he has and gains from eating and drinking.

But yeah if his gate is like the doorway (does that make Nai the key or the gate or both?) then it makes sense he can pull and give back (heal and freaking black hole stuff). But I think the fact that he eats more like a human is where he gets some of that energy from.

Or maybe he’s more human because he is the doorway. Gotta balance between the worlds.

Anyway those are just random thoughts I need to share or I go crazy. Gotta empty out the brain to make room for more stuff.

Actually, I know damn well Darcy never sat down and thought about marrying Lizzie. If he had, it would have been a week before he was rounding up Bingley, sitting him down, and looking him in the eye like he was about to propose high treason and going, "Jane. You still down bad for her?"

Coin toss whether Bingley would actually get to answer before Darcy turned around and flipped over a whiteboard like

and launched right into the most detailed migration pattern known to Regency England to keep the extraneous Bennets as contained as humanly possible by rotating them between various Bingley/Darcy estates. Like, we're talking about trading them off for minor holidays a decade out kind of detailed.

"If you and Jane take them for Lady Day ten years hence, Elizabeth and I will take them for Michaelmas. We'll all be together for Christmas and Midsummer, so we'll divide the responsibility individually on those days."

This would be followed by thirteen different spreadsheets projecting joint expenditures so Bingley knows what sort of financial commitment he'll be shouldering and how to minimize it, what proportion Darcy will take care of, what the estate plans are in case Darcy predeceases anybody, when they should probably roll out various stages to keep it from affecting their respective sisters' ability to maximize their own husband-hunting--whole nine yards.

Darcy does not know that he'll probably be murdered when the Bingley sisters find out why he asked for their social calendars. He'd be marginally fine with that at this point, because the fucking Napoleonic War campaigns were not as meticulously planned as his roadmap to getting the other three Bennets satisfactorily married, and Darcy feels about as able as if he'd spent the last year on Elba.

It takes Bingley a few minutes to realize why this is happening, then he's like

"You proposed to Elizabeth?! Congratulations!"

Darcy... knew there was something he was forgetting.

That man would have kicked the Collins's door open with four binders tucked under each arm, dumped them in a pile in front of Elizabeth, and loudly announced that if they get married tomorrow he can have her entire family except for Jane extraordinary renditioned to the Scottish moors by Sunday and then been like

"Why are you yelling at me?! I promise you, it will work! You'll never see anyone in your family except for Jane again, I swear it!" when she starts yelling at him.

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)
