I'm rereading Trigun, here are my favorite panels so far....

I love you Vash

[pyrosick-blog]

hello everyone! I hope you are well. I apologize for the concern, I didn't mean to worry anyone. i hope you all could drop by to say hello, I miss hearing from you!

[rabbitprintart]

Not to fucking bark about Trigun again but Vashwood makes me so physically unwell (/pos). It truly devastates me every fucking time I remember them. I can only dream about someone showing me even an ounce of love and devotion that Vash and Wolfwood presented to each other. Like a lil gay boy like myself can only dream about finding someone like that, but maybe it's for the best because if I was Vash I would immediately be contemplating ending it all the second Wolfwood's body turned cold. He truly is God's silliest soldier cuz fuck is the couch scene demonic levels of devastating and a battle he could truly only handle aahhh Nightow who hurt you big dawg, who was your hunky man that got away, I hope you are good king....

some more favorite panels from Trigun:

Vash, Merryl, and Milly are all equally cunty as they are silly, especially Vash (like jesus fuck y'all seeing this shit, like we don't talk enough how fucking amazing of a gun slinger he is). He even somehow has time to apply eyeliner as he is running away from the cops, as philosopher RuPaul once said: "YOU BETTER WORK!"

[rabbitprintart]

okay I need to get this outta my system because realistically I won't be able to draw this in a while but at least wanna write down my head cannons and au AND I'M DRIVING MYSELF INSANE EVERY NIGHT!!!

Anyways, I've been meaning to make/explore an au where Trigun takes place in my motherland of Tierra Caliente, yes I know it's incredibly self indulgent, but where I live, questions of climate change and agriculture are constant within the community, it's a weeeee bit lawless, and I can see so many opportunities of weaving those ideas together with those of the original Trigun series. I just think the reason Trigun speaks to so many of us Mexicans is for the same reason we have an insane clown culture, or the "laugh now, cry later" attitude. I have never seen 2 anime/characters that embody the Mexican spirit and struggle like fucking Vash the Stampede and Nicholas Wolfwood (if you ignore the DragobBall IP lol). So far the ideas that I have are:

Vash and Knives, and all the plant aliens, are representations of ancestral Mesoamerican culture of having intricate stories about twins, duality, and nature. Really wanna dig into the idea of Vash being some kind off shoot of Quetzalcoatl and Knives of Tezcatlipoca, probably even paint Knives in a more charismatic light because tbh my man has some points and I don't blame him lol. Knives does remind me a lot of the cynical Mexican who has been wronged so much in his life that he can not understand a world that isn't evil therefore sees the only solution the destruction of all, just pure nihilism. It's unfortunately more common than you think, especially in men :{

Really weave in Mesoamerican thought, art, and philosophy with Mexican Catholicism. It will be more obvious through Wolfwood, and it makes a lot of sense in my mind since a lot of Rancho people unknowingly hold onto our native thoughts and customs without realizing, even if it has been repackaged through Catholicism (ex: Dia de los Muertos)

Commentary on the insane chokehold the idea of Family as the supreme value in Mexican people through Knives

Ranchero Wolfwood, El Dark (Darks means Goth in Mexican Spanish slang lol) Vash

OKAY NOW FOR THE ONE THAT ABSOLUTELY IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plants are seen as saints by the average Mexican even if the majority don't know about the plant angels inside, so much so that they are constantly offered milagros and have town celebrations for them, but they all have been slowly exploited and killed by the humans who were meant to protect them due to greed. Vash has a collection of the milagros he has salvaged from all his sister's graves and he ties them into his coat. Knives also does this, but they both do it for different motives, Knives mainly does this is as a reminder for his hatred of humanity, Vash mainly for his love for his people and endearment towards humans for thinking well of them, a reminder that he is not much of a monster as he has been made to believe. I literally made myself so emotional last night because I imagined Wolfwood making a milagro shaped in the Passionate Heart of Christ and offers it to Vash right before he dies LIKE SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! SHUT UP ME!!!!!! ME VOY A MATAR !!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

In conclusion : Nightow, you are more Mexican than you think, I'm giving you the beaner pass

*cultural context for the non-Mexicans: Milagros are these tiny, usually silver, metal charms that are sown into the velvet of Mexican Catholic statues/icons as a sign of gratitude, a commitment of lifetime devotion, and appreciation for the idol for helping the individual make their prayer come true. Basically, people go to a saint, angel, etc., pray for them to help them (Most common prayers are to physically heal wounds, help with addictions, grief, have children, etc), and if the prayer is answered (the person is healed, they get their dream partner, have kids, etc), then the figure will be offered a Milagro that takes shape of the miracle (a healed leg, breasts for breast cancer, eyes, hearts, etc) and the devotee will sow it into the idol's clothes or their altar as an affirmation of their power and existence.

I have decided to keep this fundraiser up until the war ends and for every $25 we raise, it will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. So please, keep sharing the post and encourage your loved ones and friends to donate to this fundraiser, other GoFundMes, and/or groups such as the PCRF.

It took me 5 years to finish this piece, but at least I finally finished it, now I can lay my old bones to rest.......

The first drafts I drew as a lil goofball in art class really had me out here thinking that I peaked as an artist and made Mona Lisa 2.0 LMAO (if you wanna see the previous drafts and speedpaint head over to my insta). Anyways, I hope I can laugh at myself again in 5 years and have a new redone version in 10 to see how I changed as an artist like I did here. Also, this comes together with a corny ass poem I wrote when I was 17ish, be nice to 17 year old me please lol:

I Then Prayed Upon A Star All the stars actually. And all the constellations and the moons and planets and even on the floating space junk. And I wished and pondered. And flew through the millions of galaxies in this vast empty space when I closed my eyes. And I kept them close for a bit. And a little longer and a little longer a bit more and more. Until I felt your hands around my face. Your head against the crook of my neck. My heart swelling with warmth and my chest heavily and freely heaving up and down. Until I didn’t feel alone anymore. Until I opened my eyes. And realized that I have only made a wish upon a star. Just like you. So beautiful yet so far away and perhaps beyond my reach and billions of light years away.

And Then I Prayed Upon A Star ☄️🌌

[rabbitprintart]

sigh, I just recently had an additional devasting thought that genuinely made me tear up:

Vash "has a reccuring gag" that he prays to St. Anthony* to help him chase the elusive mayfly that is love, and carries his saint image upside down everywhere that he goes. During Wolfwood's death, he slowly pulls out his saint card and he reveals to us that the card is right side up again...yeah I'm totally fucking fine guys, totally chill, totally normal and feeling okay about this.....

*Cultural Context: St. Anthony in Morelia, Michoacán, has grown a following by people who seek him out to help them find the love of their lives. The practice is that you get (usually) a statue of him, turn him upside down, and tell him that you will only let him go of his punishment of being held upside down until he helps you marry the love of your life. If you ever go to Morelia, I highly encourage you to go visit some of his prayer sights. It's very touching seeing everyone's letters telling him exactly what they are looking for and all the miracle affirmation photos of all the wedded couples....so yeah....I made myself physically ill at the thought of Vash "jokingly" praying to him daily, get his prayers answered, but St. Anthony never promised eternal tomorrows....

Okay a happier addition!

Wolfwood also prays to San Judas Tadeo and carries his saint card (for those who don't know, San Judas Tadeo is a saint who people pray to to help them get money). It's a bitter sweet image to imagine Wolfwood carrying that saint card with him and always praying that he earns a lot of money for the orphanage......Nevermind, this is a tragic addition cuz San Judas Tadeo is stereotyped to be used by people who work in the black market (ie: Wolfwood being an assassin) this is actually too in character. god damn it brain I only know how to make myself cry sigh smh well at least I can make a sorta cute scenario where Wolfwood and Vash pull out their saint cards like they are fucking rare collectible Yu-Gi-Oh cards lol

Reminder to self: draw Wolfwood with a collection of Mexican cig packs and him cynically laughing at the graphic warning labels

translation: smoking causes impotence

making myself ill once more before bed:

Wolfwood and Vash are able to talk to each other through Vash's dreams after WW dies. In the first dream, WW notices Vash's now black hair:

ww: "Mira pues…tu pelo…mmm…tal vez ya no eres mi rubio, pero siempre seras mi güero, verdad?"

translation: "Look at you...your hair...hmmm...maybe you're not my blondie anymore, but you will always be my güero, right?"
