wolfwood baby im so fucking sorry you deserved better😭

The fact that there are cigarettes in Trigun implies the existence of tobacco farms. And like.... i have some follow up questions.

Mostly how fucking expensive are those things, because like it's gotta be a Plant assisted farm right?? We only see greenery 1-2 times depending on which Trigun version you're in. So farms and shit probably aren't too common? Unless it's more of a greenhouse situation. I mean, they obviously have flour cause they have donuts, so maybe i'm over thinking it.

It just seems like anything that comes from a plant (of our variety, not of energy source variety) would be incredibly expensive on a desert planet.

SO HOW THE FUCK DOES WOOWOO AFFORD HIS SMOKING ADDICTION?????

[koropukgoro]

the second art on that post has a deeply like. Long ass story build up to it that I cannot summarize at all it was born from scenario rambling but it is Tender, and a small soft exchange of gentle forgiveness… that is true…

Most painfuls things in the universe in no particular order:

- stepping on Lego

- a cat walking straight past you instead of stopping for some pets

- childbirth

- Nicholas D. Wolfwood saying: "It would seem that I am no longer qualified to hold you guys."

SVT as your Bodyguards (HipHop Unit)

a/n: guess who's backkkk!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seungcheol:

The fuffiest teddy bear in private, and the scariest bitch in public

Paps woudn't even think twice in acting when he says "Move"

He's the only bodyguard who's allowed to call you (y/n), instead of Ms (l/n)

In almost every paparazzi photo of you, you'd see Seungcheol glaring at the cameraman in the background

"Aww Cheol i think i see a- oh wait nevermind, it's photoshopped"

A literal rock; ain't nothin' gettin' past this big guy

"Sir, move or be moved"

Wonwoo:

Not necessarily a smiler, but not a glarer either; Stone cold Jeon Wonwoo vibes

However, there's a couple shots where you toss him a dumb joke and he cracks that heartwarming smile of his

You call him "WooWoo" or "Wonu"

You really enjoy testing his patience

Scolds you by giving your ear a quick tug

You may seem like the boss, but oh baby, you're not:

"(y/n), sit"

"Yes."

Mingyu:

Look, he's either your bitch or your servant

Either optiom, he's at your beck call, and would quite literally do anything and everything for you

A golden retriever, so he likes head pats when he;s done a good job at the end of the day

Everyone but you finds him intimidating

Only an idiot would think to cross you when he's beside you

"Why are you looking at Ms (l/n)? Move assho-

"Mingyu!"

Also, you're barely caught by the paparazzi because this man is a literal tree; you're practically invisible

If you want a piggy back ride through the airport, he'll give you one without complaint

Hansol

Quiet bodyguard, and instead of him never leaving you alone, you dont like leaving him alone

He's a gentleman and very kind, and always wants you to feel comfortable

It makes him anxious when you're out of his sight

Sometimes gets scolded by his boss because he appears too friendly towards you, poor guy

Fixes your hair if the wind messes it up, and would use his hands as an umbrells for you if need be

Always makes sure you dont skip your meals

"Ms (l/n), it's lunch time. I've ordered your favourite today."

The boring part of Jason's parents thing- if his dad's white, maybe he looked at Shiva and went "I could just take after my dad", wouldn't be the only biracial kid to look more like one parent than the other.

The other side is someone could write a social history of Asian-ness in the US in the assumptions about how characters can be criminals in fanfic, anti-asian racism definitely used to include more "sinister Chinese street gangs"

god okay so the thing about the sinister Chinese street gangs is that they are ALL OVER Batman comics, which have a NASTY and very deep streak of orientalism that spans from spooky woowoo East Asian mysticism whenever Batman needs to learn new martial arts to whatever the fuck Ra's al Ghul has going on to Gotham's persistent Chinese street gangs, and of course Jason's (acquitted) potential mother Lady Shiva herself.

the Chinese gangsters were particularly prominent around the time Jason was Robin (and well after); it's not a stretch at all to imagine him growing up in a rough part of town with his white stepmother Catherine and Chinese or mixed father Willis, a proposal which is arguably much more in line with established facts about Jason than headcanoning him as Black or Latino for Some Reason that definitely has nothing to do with him being poor and angry and being a drug dealer sometimes.

Too bad for Wolfwood that Roberto is so damn observant. He catches the flush out of the corner of his eyes and would absolutely have kept teasing him if Astarion hadn't deflected. As it is, he's busy giving the elf a narrow eyed look for that grope when he knows where both of his hands are. What the hell?

"I can do both at once," he huffs but relaxes back with a smirk at Wolfwood that fades into a smile.

"It's nice, having somewhere it's mostly safe to feel like this. I don't have to worry about the next bandit raid running through and shooting our house full of holes." Just killer moss and trauma, but that didn't last overly long in the grand scheme of things. One day, Astarion would be able to recover from that, or it would scab over like most trauma tends to. They were working on it.

"So, guess you'll have to figure out what you're gonna do, huh? The funds they give you will last for a while, but not forever."

Wolfwood is thankful that gaze flicks away as he feels his neck suddenly burn at the tone, of hearing his first name. The continued purr, the wink, it almost breaks the poor pup, but instead he manages a soft scoff.

"Careful, tiger." It's Astarion who cuts in, offering mercy as he shivers against his boyfriend. "Keep that tone of voice up and I'll be begging for a litter. We came to get to know one another, not be perverts." despite this, he giggles, the feeling of fingers groping Roberto's ass despite both arms being draped over his shoulders.

"You're lucky I don't like intruding on a happy couple." Wolfwood took the grace from the vampire with a soft huff, relaxing back as the leering falls into something oddly sweet for a man who usually looked either feral or constipated.

"I'm genuinely glad, Roberto. After everything, you deserve to be a love sick fool." He sips his drink then, Astarion's light giggles diffusing the air.

It was getting all kinds of confusing for his inexperienced brain anyways.

actually i’m so sorry for the princess’ kids. like being royal must suck enough already but with those parents ???? poor things

okay, here's the full story: Märtha Louise has always been fucking kooky. Like for real if she weren't a princess she'd be a cult leader. She claims to be clairvoyant and in 2007 started her own school to teach alternative medicine (you know, shit that's not medicine at all). She lost the title of "Royal Highness" in 2002 and she's not a member of the royal house and had no public role.

HOWEVER, she was previously married to a man named Ari Behn, who was an artsy sad sack who was pretty respected as a writer but derided as an amateur when it came to his visual art. The two divorced in 2017, and then in 2019, he died by suicide. Genuinely fucking tragic.

So OBVIOUSLY there's trauma there. Like if her woowoo beliefs already had her believing in shaman types, the trauma of her husband's death had to have left her super susceptible to the right charismatic charlatan who tells her everything she wants to hear and gives her all the validation she's willing to ignore a million red flags for.

Honestly it kind of sounds like something a lot of families are dealing with: a loved one gets swept up into Q-Anon/Trump cult bullshit (the woo to Q pipeline is REAL) and you don't really know how to deal with it because the situation is fucking awful but you still love the person in spite of everything.

Or at least that's me projecting all my bullshit into the situation and how I'd be pitching it as a screenplay. Netflix HMU.

The whole mess has actually seriously damaged the reputation of the Norwegian royal family and along with calls for her to lose her title of "princess" it's created a pretty big movement calling for the abolition of the monarchy.

Which is surprising because the Norwegian monarchy is actually fairly low-key. King Harald is good at being genial and non-political and they're mostly involved in promoting Norwegian cultural stuff, which kinda seems like how you should do a monarchy, if you're gonna do one.

But then again it just underlines how inherently fucked up the institution of a monarchy is to begin with.

Anyway have you figured out already that monarchy as a metaphor for generational trauma is my absolute favorite trope and I absolutely lose my fucking shit whenever I see it playing out in public?

Vashwood and gender (again): El Woowoo

I had to think for a bit on where to start this essay, because there's multiple moving parts that I'm gonna cover and then have to put together.

I've already mentioned how Wolfwood takes on the role of the patriarchal leader towards the start of Trimax via this essay, so let's start with him.

A lot of what makes Wolfwood's gender presentation can be found in the core conflict that makes up his character - compassion and care versus apathy and violence towards others.

We are essentially introduced to Wolfwood twice, given the split between Trigun and Trigun Maximum.

Notably, they also differ in context. Woowoo the first is shown before us or him really know of his connections to the Gung-Ho guns. He's essentially behaving here as he would 'off the clock' so to speak, without any major pressures on him currently at play. He's still acting as a priest, but that's not really his job in canon since it's never really very story-relevant the way him being an assassin is.

At his core, this Wolfwood is shown to be a kind, compassionate and somewhat goofy person. I'd say he performs here as overall 'gender-neutral' - there isn't really an obvious lean towards a masculine or feminine performance.

When we are reintroduced to him in Maximum, however, he plays much more the part of the professional. Even just the way he holds himself - dramatic, uncaring, sunglasses notably on, suggests this is a man with a job to do. In some ways, simply acting professional like this is a masculine trait. (what with the perceived notion of men being household breadwinners).

(It is also worth noting that Wolfwood is an ambiguously brown person from a poor upbringing who speaks in a rather outer-suburbs or rural-coded accent. Even if those should be neutral terms, social bias means that these all things that carry a masculine connotation.)

But it goes deeper.

The idea of being a defender, of "show[ing] their fangs" is also very masculine, and in this scene, is a role Wolfwood is also trying to rope Vash into when Wolfwood gives him back his gun. Violence is masculine, and a gun is the epitome of violence. So you could say that Wolfwood has essentially been carrying around Vash's masculinity for him for these past few years, and is now forcing it back onto him.

You can even see this in the scene where Vash picks up his gun. His return to a violent life is shown with him shirtless, very obviously muscular in a typical masculine fashion.

Compared to his earlier iteration, Wolfwood as an assassin is very masculine of a character, and he expects others around him to embody those roles as well, even if like Vash, they don't really want to. Which also ties in to Wolfwood as a Judas figure. He is the one who leads Vash and attempts to guide him into the role of violence, corrupting Vash's ideals.

Chew him like gum 🥰🤤🤤🤤

[bcolfanfic]

need more about the bucks' baby micah, headcanons or blurb i want more!!! (please, and when you have time ofc)

for ref

doing this in headcan0ns list form bc im tired from the time zone switch back to the states

the bucks do, as reffed in that blurb, turn the car around from going to wisconisn to go back to wyoming. end up having to get a hotel somewhere for the night so they don't drive more or less 20 hours roundtrip themselves into an early grave. but yeah.

swing josie by gale's sister’s house on the way back to sheridan. don't explain all the details but have to give her *some* explanation when they go from headed them to wisconsin to now suddenly back in wyoming.

maybe don't explain that this baby is her biological sibling right away but just. say that someone they know needs help with their baby, and that they gotta go back because they don't want him to be in the hospital by himself. pretty word salady but they're exhausted and she's five so. it is what is for the time being.

get to the hospital and get scrubbed in to down to the nicu with natalie to go see him. john's head still feels like his head is still in in spin-mode to the extent that he's not really processing everything fully.

but gale sees that itty bitty baby in his little nicu incubator with a little tube in his nose and is just. distraught.

has to sit down after a minute because its making his chest hurt. he just can't fathom how little he is and how he's in *danger* and how connected he already feels to him.

he gets reallll "woowoo" about the fact that he finally brought up wanting another kid to john all of 20 minutes before they got the call about him. feels like he somehow already intrinsically knew about him before he actually knew.

so kinda the reverse of how it was with josie- gale instantly feels bonded to him and john has a little bit of a harder time.

loves him so much already, is worried sick with all the preemie health stuff he's got going on. its just hard to process how fast everything is happening. if him and gale had sat down and decided to go the infant adoption route that'd be one thing.

in that case he'd have a lot more time to work through his hurdles re: being scared of having a baby, of being responsible for someone's life from scratch etc etc. but here he only had the drive back from wisconsin.

calls his mom a lot. calls curt a lot. that helps.

lil guy doesn't have a name for the first week of his life lmao. they just call him buddy and baby boy and then john is sitting up w/ gale one night and asks if he's given any thought to his name.

they land on micah curtis. micah as a riff off of michael the archangel, and curtis after their best friend (:

curt cries when he finds out. sweet man.

john's mom comes out from wisconsin and when she's there at the hospital that's when both the bucks go to gale's sister's house and have to explain to josie- the best they can- the full details.

poor peanut is so conflicted about Everything. has been confused about not seeing either of her dads in the same room for almost two weeks. is excited about having a baby sibling- but confused about why if he's /her/ sibling from her mom why she can't see her mom.

just a lot of Big Feelings, which gale and john handle the best that they can. good dads <3

i think it finally really Clicks for john when micah is doing okay enough that theyre allowed to hold him. looks at that lil guy in his lil nicu baby beanie sleeping on his chest and just. yeah. big thats my son, i would do anything for you feelings.

john gets really into sitting by his lil incubator and reading to him. nice way to bond that isn't super overwhelming. makes gale heart happy to watch. his boyssss.

this is getting super long lmao so ill cut if off here. but i wove micah- and rachel and i have developed a looottt of lore about him as a teenager/young adult (specifically re: him and wyatt- helen's baby with nash/ev's step son). so feel free to come prompt me to yap more!

[fictionkinfessions]

[my] Ford Pines you are one no good son of a bitch.

I'm glad I never succeeded in bringing you back. I'm glad Mabel stopped me. In canon you could barely utter a thank you for me saving your life and couldn't even bite your tongue about my grammar at the end of the world. You let our parents throw me out and through out all the years of me being homeless and running from the law you never once reached out until YOU needed something. If I had been pushed through that STUPID portal that your STUPID boyfriend tricked your STUPID ASS into making, you would've destroyed the portal just to get rid of me for good, I just know it.

I was clumsy, rude, messy, but never malicious. You can't say that, can you, Ford. I NEVER wanted to hurt you, but you sure wanted to hurt me.

I tried to tell you what I'd been through, but you wouldn't even listen. You don't even deserve to know the details now, but I damn well know you wouldn't have survived if we switched roles.

You left me behind for your smarts, it was supposed to be us forever and that didn't mean ANYTHING to you. It meant everything to me. YOU ruined MY life. So I accidentally lost you your shot at your dream school that day, you literally still could have applied regularly through the mail, sixshit. But nooo poor pitiful Stanford had to go to the Second Best College. I WAS HOMELESS, FORD. You knew I wasn't that bright, that I didn't get the "smart" autism like you did, mom tried curing it with woowoo magic and essential oils, but what she really wanted was for me to just be like you.

I lived my whole life in your shadow, our parents never reached out, you never reached out. Shermie reached out, not that you'd care or approve.

I hope you got what you deserved staying on the other side of that portal.
