'Bling-bling, gettin' fucked in every time zone G-string, yeah, the whole pussy rhinestoned' - Pink G-String by Scene Queen

- Y'all. Punk/Bimbo solidarity. I didn't draw this as ship art but damn they would burn the world down huh. I have wanted to draw them together forEVER, espesh with Scene Queen lyrics with them, cus ugh. I love Scene Queen. And now they've met in cannon!! Best gift ever.

[Image Description: A drawing of Ashton Graymoore and Opal from Critical Role. Ashton and Opal are standing together, Ashton's body is facing away while he's turned looking towards the camera, his left arm is up in a peace sign and his tongue is sticking out, turning it into a crude gesture. Opal is leaning on their back with one hand putting up a middle finger and the other hand on her hip. She is leaning forward with her hips out in a suggestive pose and blowing some pink bubblegum. Her outfit is slightly different, wearing a pink mini skirt and some leggings with the inner thighs showing. The two of them are shown at an angle, camera looking down at them. The background is light pink, and all around them are lyrics to Pink G-String by Scene Queen. 'I'm his mistress, fuck if I know! Front Page Scandal? I do my own promo.' End ID]

Something that really bugs me about the old translation

DH translation of Ch.33 of Trimax

New OH translation of this chapter

Different translations can shift the soul of a scene, in the old DH translation it reads: “If I save one life… will it be as though I was born alone?” In the new OH version, it’s “If I could save a single life… If I could do just a little… would that… be good enough?” One is existential, questioning if a single act of good could justify his painful existence. As if he's trying to compensate his and his brothers effected harm. He needs therapy so bad

The different variants symbolise the different iterations lol. Ow shit, now I wanna draw that scene for Trigun help

The new version is more personal, filled with doubt about whether his efforts will ever be enough. my favourite

But both are Vash.

Despite everything Knives has done to him, Vash still loves him. Many would see that as weakness, but it’s actually his greatest strength. Most protagonists fight out of revenge, ambitions, survival, or duty. Vash moved forward in the last 150 years on this god forsaken planet because he cares. (most of all) And that makes him so fascinating. Nothing Knives does will make him stop caring. No amount of cruelty can erase his choice to keep attaching his heart onto us short lived/fragile humans.

Reminds be of this one DW line: "Never be cruel. Never be cowardly. Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise.”

End game Spoiler below just in case:

(I wonder, in the end of the manga if he was happy to age and get old like your regular Joe Schmo, since Independent Plants are most likely built to last for roughly 500 years minimum -if they aren’t draining themselves like crazy; so he would die at a very young age. I really hope that he was happy)

In general, the old translation doesn’t bother me too much and I can overlook small things or chuckle at them. But this part is so important for his character that it really bothers me, and I’m sad it stayed unchanged

Edit: chances for clarity’s sake

Hope it's okay if I Hop (lmao) onto this post to expand upon one of my favorite cities in the country. MKE, like many US cities, used to have a pretty extensive streetcar network that was torn up from lobbyist pressure, and they really screwed themselves for it. A lot of streetcar lines were replaced with bus routes, which are still some of the most used to this day- if you compare this poster I created of then/now streetcar lines to this map of current bus lines (blue is the most used, red is likely to be cut in 2025 due to MCTS having financial problems) you can see a TON of overlaps. Some bus lines even carry the same route numbers and colors of their predecessors.

The Hop (existing streetcar line) is unfortunately pretty unusable because it was built off the back of corporate interest. It connects the Amtrak station to downtown, which isn't entirely a BAD thing on its own. However, even being totally free, ridership is low because it doesn't GO anywhere where residents of the city want to go, and is slower than basically every other option because it gets EXTREMELY stuck in traffic. I went to school within range of the Hop and knew extremely few people who EVER used it. And those who did would often end up late to class because of it. All to say it's in a real sorry state right now, and that bums me out. They are planning a few extensions despite city financial troubles, and I hope that improves things

In brighter transit though, Milwaukee opened its first BRT line this year! It's not perfect, I wish the bus only lanes extended the whole length, and I haven't had the chance to try it for myself just yet, but I'm glad it got built at all.

I guess the point of this is that there are people in Milwaukee who care and want to make things better, and in my opinion I think there'e a lot of potential! So people from the area gotta get excited about transit, rope in their friends and loved ones, and make sure to pressure your politicians to secure funding for transit!!

Bonus rambling: Steps I would love to see personally, as a limitedly informed layperson. 1) I think the streetcar should focus on a UWM connection, as that is a HUGE population of non driving students, and would give access to a LOT of residential area. 2) AFTER that, getting the Hop to go all the way to the Summerfest grounds is a NO BRAINER to me. The Fiserv Forum is another place it would make a lot of sense to expand to. 3) This is only tangentially related but Brady Street should be pedestrianized!!! It would be an excellent way to encourage use of transit, and it would make an already cool spot into one of the best places in the city!

The upper midwest could easily become as interconnected as the Northeast, Lets explore what steps are needed to do that.

I am defining the upper midwest as Northern Illinois and Indiana, alongside Wisconsin and Minnesota. So the Major cities we are looking at are Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Duluth, and Chicago
