He melts in this one 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.

invisible scars (referenced previous talk here)

[ID: A colourless, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood talking about Wolfwood's scars. They're both laying in bed and topless. Vash lays on top of Wolfwood, playing with the rosary around his neck. Then, Vash kisses a spot on Wolfwood's chest. Wolfwood asks, "What are you doing?" Vash smiles sadly, "You got shot here. In the last town we visited. You didn't even bother moving."

Vash props himself up over Wolfwood, who frowns slightly. Wolfwood is quiet for a moment before he says, "You remember that, huh?" Vash grabs Wolfwood's left wrist and brings it to his face. "And here." He kisses another spot there. "When you helped free the hostages from that robber..." Wolfwood dismissively says, looking away, "Was a lucky shot." Vash huffs, “Don’t brag. Jeez.”

Half of Wolfwood's expression is shown, eyes returning to Vash who is now sitting up, continuing to say, "And..." Vash goes on and kiss Wolfwood's right palm. "You got cut here, even though that girl was aiming at me." A moment from the past flashes, of Wolfwood grabbing a knife aimed at Vash, his hand bleeding.

At present, Vash moves down and puts another kiss on Wolfwood's right shoulder. "And here, from watching my back." Another memory flashes of Wolfwood and Vash back to back. Vash looks back as Wolfwood grins while holding Punisher, bleeding from multiple gunshots in his shoulder.

"And," Vash combs up Wolfwood's hair to reveal his forehead, "Here." A final memory shows Wolfwood with a regeneration vial in his mouth while getting shot on his temple. The next panel is framed in blood with Vash at the center, eyes wide and stunned in horror. The next panel is a closed up shot of Wolfwood's eye, locked on Vash's face.

Back to present, Vash’s head is bowed down as Wolfwood raises a hand to his nape and says, “Spikey.”

Wolfwood looks serious and frowns as he says, "We talked about this. Those were my decisions. They're not there anymore. Forget about them." Vash looks very sad before he smiles ruefully and says, "I still see them. All the time." He leans down so they touch foreheads. Wolfwood’s sorrowful expression can be seen as Vash says, "You protect so much. I could never forget what you've done to me. And many others..."

In the last image, they're drawn more cartoonishly. Wolfwood sweats and asks, "You don't actually remember every wound, right?" Vash points at a spot on his chest. "Kuroneko left a scratch here 7 times." Wolfwood, startled, says, "Why the hell are you keeping count—" End ID]

Gabriel flaunts his pretty body without realizing it. he doesn’t scold any wandering eyes, though. after all, is it such a shame to admire God’s greatest creation?

or he’s just THAT oblivious. no one knows, really.

either way, his charisma, his diligence, and his half-naked lounging have earned him the appreciative eyes and ears of every angel in Heaven.

Something about seeing a nude Machete curled up on the bed with his butt by the pillows brings me so much joy. I can only imagine how content and safe he must be feeling in that moment, and I say good for him. He's earned it.

Aahh I've had such a great weekend, guys!! Lots of great food and fun, lots of cool cultural stuff, including an amazing play a friend surprised me as a belated birthday present (starring a songer/actor I used to be obsessed with when I was 15 lmao). And then last night, I went to a brilliant classical concert for another friend's birthday and got to dress up all fancy and drink champagne and all that, which was grrreat 💫

BUT most importantly, while I was enjoying this concert I couldn't help but notice the conductor was seriously hot (like look at this guy 👇🏼 what the hell?) and he also gave off major Steve vibes, so when he shared a really intense hug with the solo cellist at some point I was like hmmm..... 💡 And of course I immediately started thinking about a potential enemies to lovers fic with gifted young conductor Steve Rogers and virtuoso violinist Bucky Barnes who start off on the wrong foot when they start working together, each of them thinking the other is arrogant and cold (even though they do admire each other professionally). But then they get to know each other better and they start to realize that their first impressions may have been wrong, and they slowly but surely warm to each other and have lots of deliciously tense moments during practice with intense eye contact and emotional revelations fuelled by dramatic music and all that 👀 And of course the whole thing would culminate in a spectacular end of season concert in which their chemistry blows everyone away and they realize they've fallen in love with each other and then kiss on stage and live happily ever after 💘

Although I do feel like this fic probably already exists? Which actually would also be amazing, so if anyone happens to know of a fic like this, do let me know!! 🙏🏻

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now! I'll hopefully be able to reply to some messages later before I have to work again tonight! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, mwah!! 🥰💗

I’m not sure Eric Martin thought things through when he said the words “Mobius is somebody that Loki can actually be a little naked with”

DYING 🤣🤣🤣

nuts reading in jp 12 - trimax ch 1 and 2 time HBRBRHBRHBRHBR

last we left off, vash meets wolfwood and i smashed out a bunch of nonsense saying how wolfwood brazenly climbed over one of the walls vash has.

i think more of this happened in trimax ch 1 and 2. there's something going on with the framing here.

being buck naked

so previously in post #10 ive mentioned how meryl and milly stumbling into a half naked vash is him showing them the most open and vulnerable self he has. in trimax ch 1 this happens again

except he isnt half naked this time, hes buck naked and just took some bullets right in front of wolfwood and his ruined salad grub.

theres also this scene where vash talks pretty openly about how he feels about the fifth moon incident. hes scared, and he declares it to wolfwood. buuuut, check out the bubbles ive highlighted here:

i think this might be a problem stemming from DarkHorse's work bc in the JP its actually like this:

❗Vash doesnt say "I chose to retire"❗

Wolfwood says "So ya chose to retire." (more directly: so ya chose to live on the down-low?) the Tell here being the kansai dialect in the bubble.

i dont like nitpicking over translation mistakes. id probably slip up here and there if i did trigun too bc the japanese level in here is higher than what Shounen Jump has. also no hiragana aid in trimax cry

anyway

this then implies wolfwood has sussed out vash pretty well enough for vash to continue spilling more information. i suspect if wolfwood didn't, the conversation miiight have ended right there.

these panels, man. wolfwood is looking with half of his expression covered. meanwhile, vash doesnt meet him and just wants to hide. maaaybe run? idk. interpretations ahoy.

thats a fun dynamic. on another note

that vash in trimax ch 1-2 seems to be using Ore with wolfwood throughout their interaction. i suppose its a continuation of how vash seems to have some trust towards wolfwood, as he did watch him give whats little of his money left towards kids previously.

but if im understanding how nightow is now framing this whole concept correctly, the whole pronoun usage here is to drive home how multi-faceted vash is. that is to say, all of these parts are him, and we as the viewer see it all laid pretty bare.

the characters meanwhile do not, and certainly not wolfwood... yet. though if you wanna interpret the nakedness it might be that the TriGang have seen the rawest part of what drives Vash.

aside, boku is still around. internally when hes reflecting and feeling unsure, Boku is used in this scene:

....hmm 🤔

otherwise hes using Ore and seems pretty resigned to confronting the situation with knives as wolfwood delivers his colt back.

The threat

ok this is fun. so take a look at the last bubble in the JP side. (all EN versions here are from OH)

rubby hands. hey Boku is back. and theres a heart sakldfjasdlf anyway okay so my sloppy/direct translation of all of these would be

I won't give you even a moment to reload. I won't kill you, but I'll entrust you with one request. Soon, I will leave this town. And after! If I find that something happened to my family or this town... I'll have you take all responsibility, okay❤️? "

god this is so good its chilling more of this nightow pls

Whua-?! Protect them from the other thugs. Sweet deal, isn't it?! And hey... Fail, and know that I have every intention to chase you down to the very depths of hell.

HBHRBHBRRBHRBR. so many things going on even in the EN version.

he also says family. i cant find this in the EN version but he does reciprocate the familial feelings Sheryl and Lina has towards him.... ;w; ... hhh.

Zed with the "love consultants" for if the Guardian is back in town: Zed: in any case, the Guardian doesn't know anyone around besides Mirrin. Would it be the worse thing ever if I gave a call? Makkaro: no, no, Zedrathaw. I wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one: a super volcano. Number two: that Calamity demon or whatever it was called comes back and destroys it all. Number three: the Piscis family hold a memorial to the Mahan family and they broadcast it to the entire world. Fourth: Zedrathaw gives the Guardian a call. Five: my loving darling spouse here is eaten by a kraken. Darling: I am said spouse, and I approove the order of that list. Zed: Kindra?! Darling: Zed, the Guardian could be your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greatgrandparent!
