#my brain is very tired today

It was dark and cold at first. Something about the environment around him felt off. “Vash..?” he called out in the darkness, the panic settling in his chest. He was alone, and it scared him. “Vash!? Rem?!” he called out, looking around in this dark voice. The young Independent whipped and turned, but there was nothing in any direction.

The panic only grew, bubbling inside of him. Normally, Nai was fairly level-headed, but right now it was far too overwhelming. There was this strange feeling, almost like drowning. He gripped at his head, struggling to shake off this uncomfortable feeling he had.

“VASH!” The young Independent shot up suddenly, his breathing ragged as his surroundings hit him. He didn’t recognize the room he was in. It wasn’t familiar to him. Was this on the ship? Where were Vash and Rem? His breathing slowed a little as he saw the large tank filled with a multitude of Plants all together. “...” And then he looked around. All over the floor of this room were thick, black roots. They spanned the room and traveled well outside of it. In the center of the room was some sort of console. It looked almost like the ones he’d see Rem use on the ship.

Nai didn’t feel good. His head ached and he felt tired, but he couldn’t sleep. Not yet. He had to find Vash and Rem. He hadn’t even noticed the other in the room, far too focus on himself. That was until he went to stand up. The tall figure was off-putting. It was someone he didn’t immediately recognize. Had someone woken from one of the Pods?

“W-Who are you?!” he asked, glaring at the tall figure wearily.

He would not recognize Vash at first, but Vash most certainly would recognize this form. His brother sat before him, appearing as his younger self. Unlike the dreams that Vash had been tormented with though, this one was real.

Happy hobbit day!! Today I have been pretty tired. I slept very well, but my I guess having to commute is draning a lot of energy from me. I did struggle a bit to stay focused in class, but we touched interesting subjects, and I can confirm I like the way this professor carries the lectures. He did finish a bit later than usual which for me meant missing my bus and having to wait an additional 50 minutes. I phoned my mom to have a chat and pass the time and walked around, and I ended up buying this amazing ghost mug. It's smaller than what I would normally go for, but it's a great addition to my small collection. When I got home I also went to my herbalitst's shop to get a couple of teas i had run out of (and there of course I saw a bunch of other beautiful mugs and I want them all).

Cozy hobbit activities and productivity:

Read first thing in the morning

Packed some lunch before leaving the house

Listened to podcasts during my commute

Had a walk to go to uni and back

3 hour English lit lecture

Got my new beloved mug (i was also looking for a ghost themed tote bag but unfortunately I couldn't find it)

Daily duolingo Irish practice

Highlighted today and yesterday's notes

Crocheting my mushroom cardigan (I am considering packing a ball of yarn in my school bag to crochet a bit on the bus but I haven't tested yet)

Drinking a tea (as I write this) in my new mug under a blanket because my room is freezing

You're the first person i've encountered here/on twt who ships the SH polycule 😭 everywhere I go it's nuclear family this girl dad blade that

I know anon, I know. It's dire for us out there.

It's not even that I don't think they're found family. They very much are. It's that found family doesn't mean found father found mother and found children, and yet it's apparently all people can come up with for some reason. And not only does it limit how you can appreciate their relationship, but I'm also really not a fan of the resulting constant infantilization of Silver Wolf and now Firefly by... Most people at this point. You don't have to ship the four of them together, but I sure would appreciate if people didn't treat these two like Blade and Kafka's teenage daughters just because they have short models.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that Firefly called them all her partners in 2.3. Not her allies, not her teammates, her partners. And that Jade, from her outsider point of view, called their relationship "strong and intimate". They all love each other so deeply, it's everything to me.

This ship may be so tiny you might as well call it a raft but believe me when I say I'm sailing it as far as it can go.

Hey y'all! All crafting updates are postponed a day, I had both another technically-not-low-blood-sugar thing* and another asthma attack today, so I am very tired. I'm okay, just not up for crafting *not technically hypoglycemic but smack dab in the middle of fasting blood sugar when I am not fasting? idk what to call that

[trigunbookclub]

hello!

i was wondering, will we be reading trigun multiple bullets after trimax vol14 ?

have a great day o/

Hey there! :D

Oh man, you have great timing with this ask since I was thinking of making a post! I'd been considering making a post about this, because I realized a bit after making the schedule... there's bonus content! Multiple Bullets and some extra chapters are out there to discuss. So I was thinking that maybe we'd have a post-bookclub week or even month celebration where we read through the extras, people have time to write longer/detailed/belated essays (or use the time to catch up!), post art/memes/edits/fics inspired by their read, and since Overhaul's the translation most often used in the screenshots I see, I'd encourage sending them an ask saying thank you, or make a post tagging them!

What do you guys think?

You have a great day yourself! <3

If Man-Bat likes you, prepare to have your personal space disrespected! Vampire bats are very social, often snuggling up close to other members of their kind and even initiating grooming as part of social bonding. Man-Bat might rest his head on your shoulders, lean against you, even go as far as licking your hair if it looks very messy and out of place. It can be quite uncomfortable, especially in summer given his high body temperature.

Personal tale under the cut 👍🏻

While I was working today I made eye contact with a costumer after saying a pretty standard "have a nice day".

This old man just blinks and says, stopped in his track, "you have very beautiful eyes".

Now, I have never managed to respond to compliments like a normal person, so what I usually do is "act". I calculate pretty quickly what kind of response the person in front of me would appreciate and how much 'acting as a human being' energy I've got left.

So basically I give him a "oh, why thank you" that's on a low tone (to make him feel my appreciation for the comment) but in a light voice (to keep the moment itself light and not making it a big deal). Maybe it fell on the dismissive side, maybe I miscalculated, but he kinda went... Shy? He mumbled a "of course, you'll get it all the time, so, uh" and just... went out.

The funny thing is that the second comment got me, because it's not true.

Usually no one compliments my eyes, most of the time people notice after YEARS their actual colour, and my most commented on trait is the fact that I've got a "serial killer gaze" sksisksksk and it's kind of true! I have a very intense gaze and a serious face, always have, and people are reticent to approach me if they don't know me well. It has been like that since forever.

I honestly don't care if my eyes are pretty or not. I am not pretty in general, but I know that people want to be kind so they make compliments to make other ppl feel good. I am a great fan of kindness, I agree with Vonnegut on the subject. I just don't care about the compliments and the expectations of my reaction to them is very tiring.

This man, tho, he was being genuine, truly truly genuine. And I feel a bit sad that I made him self conscious inadvertently.

To him I say in this post what I could not express in the 7 seconds that our interaction-as-strangers had left: thank you, while I don't care about it, I deeply enjoy your second hand feeling of wonder, it was not granted, I will remember it for that.
