“My Worries Have Worries” — Laura Villareal

so I built little matchstick houses with large ceilings, a garden for them to grow

tomatoes, cilantro, & carrots their worry babies will eat

but they chew on the henbit of me anyway both my past & future entwined into disasters

I tell them I worry about their health that they’re not eating properly

I mother them the way I do anyone I love

they ask if I love myself I tug the sleeves of my sweater

begin thatching a leaking roof water their garden at night

I can hear them dancing around a bonfire

all I’ve built burned down, a soot snowfall

tomorrow they’ll wait for me & I’ll reconstruct their home anyone would do the same

FRUIT SALAD DAYS 🍎

Their first meeting was surprising.

Who knew dragons had such particular practices.

I'm fascinated that Vash, Knives, and Wolfwood don't know their birth families and how that plays out with their guardians.

Vash's philosophies are shaped by Rem; Knives rebels/reframes Rem's words to suit his own agenda ("There's so much we have to do to make sure it [Tesla's death by human experimentation/callousness] doesn't happen again." To me, it's a "I learned drinking at my father's knee" v. "I saw my father drinking and resolved not to be like him" relationship, and many people have written amazing metas on this!

Wolfwood has had two prominent guardians in his life—Melanie and Chapel (depending on which version, Chapel actually raised Wolfwood for a bit). It's pretty formative in that Wolfwood before the Eye of Michael is a caring individual but also hard-nosed to a certain degree (becoming a caretaker figure, knowing the orphanage is struggling, etc.), while Chapel teaches him that connections drag you down and that you must make an immediate decision (as the world/job is harsh and unforgiving). His experiences with Melanie and Chapel also shaped his self-sacrificing nature: to help with the greater good, whatever that means��but Wolfwood rebels against Chapel as Knives did with Rem, which (unlike Knives and Rem) is a good thing.

Again, none of these characters know their birth origins or express a lot of curiosity about finding out more, and that nature/nurture dynamic fascinates me because they're a) very much their own individuals but b) still burdened by who raised them.

It's a compelling theme in Trigun that it's not necessarily how you start out; it's the experience and guidances (or lack thereof) do. There are a lot of self-determination/fate interpretations among Vash, Knives, and Wolfwood—what path are you on? Did you create it? Is it shaped? Can you go without a path or make a different one? How does it all end? Can you truly escape where you came from? (More thoughts in the tags lol)

cheese and strawberry, please!

Thank you for the ask! From this ask game.

🧀Cheese - What do you think of your writing on a scale of 1-10 or 1-5 stars and why?

10/10 obviously, like it was made for me!

This is only half a joke. While I don't think I'm at 10, I need to stop directly comparing myself to others. Sure, there's short bursts of "oh my god, I'll never be this brilliant" when I read something great, and a part of me dies every time I mix something up. And while the latest project is always "this is good, good grade in writing", as soon as I start the next one, I become aware of another Issue™ previous works had.

But you know what. I'm having fun reading what I wrote. And it is exactly what I want. No skipping scenes or povs I find boring, no lamenting that the whump was glossed over, no wishing the end was a bit slower. While there are a lot of books that are much better in some aspect, there are very few I love as much. So.

🍓Strawberry - What was the first thing that you remember coming up with about this Wip? Was it a feeling? A character?

Hnghhh would you believe me if I said I actually have no fucking clue? There must have been a moment where I came up with it, but I can't remember.

It was probably a combination of wanting to write a blind char who isn't a hermit living in a cave (sorry Caldyn), as well as wanting to write more of Laurent after Nuisance, so I was like "what if he meets a blind *spins youtube wheel* uh candymaker!" 😂😅

Unlike others, this one wasn't a WIP that came out of daydreams - it was outlined and planned.

I know not everybody likes buff kaiba like me but I appreciate it for dsod!kaiba 😂 I really enjoy the thought of this gaming nerd being a scrawny underweight sickly looking dude who didn't take care of his body but needed to in order to travel to space. then bam several months in he put on weight and muscle and now he's cut af because ofc he doesn't know moderation & if he's going to do something ( even for stupidly absurd reasons ) he's gonna see it through 100%
