#knives loved vash

[thekitsandthekats]

no no what you don't understand is that he loves him. he loves him so much he can't stand it. he loves him so much he hates him. he needs to protect him from the evil and abusive humans. he can't imagine letting his brother, his precious brother, be used and abused by pathetic human beings. they're disgusting, terrible and self serving. they use plants for nothing but resource. and to have existed in a world where humans will push plants to the point of Last Run. no, i need you all to understand that knives wanted vash to be safe, to be at his side, to help him save their race of being, to be set free from the use of humans. but. BUT. trauma is a sick and twisted joke, one no one has ever laughed at. he loves him but he can't. he can't seperate his need to protect from his need for revenge, for retribution. in this he has lost vash, he's lost his brother and has embraced only an idea of him. he is a plant and nothing more. he is a gate and nothing else. he is a means to an ends and not an end in himself. knives loves vash so much, it's not vash he loves at all. from the very beginning, all he's wanted is to free his people, all he's wanted was to protect his brother. but remember that knives knows the wickedness of humanity, and unfortunately he only knows the wickedness of humanity. outside of rem, he's only ever seen how cruel humans are. and even in that, when he finds tesla, his idea of rem and her love and care is shattered. so of course in his need to protect vash, he has no understanding of how to actually do that without becoming the cruelty he's always known. he loves him and that's the worst thing he could've ever done.

something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.

my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.

what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!
