Intrusive thoughts

I adore Vivio as well just two very kind but very broken people trying their very best hhhhhhhhhh

But Chyeah one of my fav things about their dynamic is how comfortable they are around each other- esp with Vash being so trusting of Liv from nearly the very get-go

Whether it’s goofin together or having a deep moment, it comes easy to them-

I like the idea that whenever LR are around it means that it’s time to Rest™️ for Vash, mind and heart at peace knowing everything will be alright since they’re there (even if it gets in the way of quality time sometimes)

I personally think it would be very amusing if Tesla gets revived alongside Knives in Stargaze and spends her entire time being rude to him and nitpicking his actions based off of some petty grievances. Like imagine he's trying to do one of his little murder speeches and she steps out of the shadows where she was standing (menacingly) going "Hey remember that time you got a whole cake for your Birthday? I never got a birthday cake. And you guys got a whole one to yourselves" or just going "Oh that's a cool thought, did your best friend Child Killer Conrad give it to you?"

Just real hater energy from her

My negative space study of my Wolfwood and Vash popup parade figs from the art class I'm taking :3 I've never played around with ink before; I really enjoyed it! Gonna have to fuck round with it more for sure :D

*places face in hands*

Wolfwood becomes himself when he stops following Knives's path

Wolfwood becomes Wolfwood when he instead follows Vash

yk. after talking so negatively about alberta as of recent i want to share some photos i’ve taken around here because at the end of the day, alberta is not only a beautiful province, it’s also my home. so!

these are from around banff and lake louise:

these directly from lake louise, of obviously of the lake, but also pictures i’ve taken in and around the area on some nearby hikes!

these are from johnston’s canyon, one one of the most famous hikes in the area. the second two are near the lower falls, but i’ve been to the upper falls once and it’s just as beautiful. the wiggly tree is just something fun about the hike! it’s been there since my mom was a kid, and even before that…

and this is a photo i took while riding probably the most popular gondola that has the banff springs hotel near the bottom!

now for a couple from canmore:

i really only have a couple photos from canmore because i don’t go there super often, but these are a few i really like! the third one is my favourite, that bridge is super cool tbh

moving onto jasper:

jasper was hit fairly recently with a lot of really awful wildfires, and since then i haven’t actually visited… but, the last time i did go, it was absolutely beautiful. the first two are photos of a hike you take a gondola to get up to, unfortunately i couldn’t finish them due to elevation sickness, but even from where i was the view was incredible. the last photo is of spirit island, which if i remember correctly, is an important place to the stoney nakoda first nation, because of their belief of mountains representing their ancestors (i really hope i got this right)

these are from abraham lake, and probably some of my dad’s favourite photos from a trip here!

these are methane bubbles frozen in ice on the lake, which is the main attraction of going in winter! it’s freezing cold, but absolutely worth it (trust me, seeing these in real life is really awesome)

these are a little closer to my home, there’s a small hike around the elbow river my family does just about every summer!

the first is the actual hike, and the second is an inukshuk i remember seeing someone make on the hike a couple years ago! (bonus story uh one time on this hike i. may or may not have stepped in a stream of water and had to finish the rest of the hike with a wet shoe 😔)

and then for some more “city/industry focused” photos, here are a few i have of both edmonton and fort mackay!

these are some places in edmonton:

(the art gallery of alberta, and a building near the university of alberta that is literally referred to as the butterdome)

and some photos from fort mackay!

a lot of these deal with the oil sands since, yk, it’s one of the places where all the hardcore oil drilling and stuff happens. the third photo, if i remember correctly, is actually a site where they’re working to clean up all the literal toxic sludge lol. i actually think my parents worked on it! and obviously i had to include some buffalo my family saw :)

and i don’t have a lot of photos from fort mcmurry unfortunately, so i’ll ask my parents to send me some, and i’ll edit the post to add them later!

and finally, it wouldn’t be a scott alberta appreciation post if i didn’t include my home city calgary :)

inside the university of calgary, a photo of peace bridge,

a photo of eau claire mall before it was demolished, a photo of bowmont park (if i remember correctly, a photo of the reservoir i actually think looks really cool with COP in the background (a place for skiing)),

and lastly for now, the northern lights just outside my home :)

there’s so much i didn’t include here: photos from kananaskis, downtown edmonton, the saddledome and the bow building in calgary, and so much of both red deer and fort mcmurray, which have all been a part of my life growing up in alberta. as much as i have complained about it here recently, it is my home, and at the end of the day, it’s a home that i love.

i'm sorry if this is weird to ask, but i just watched tristamp and for the time being i don't intend on watching the old one or reading the manga (busy with uni :/) so i have some gaps in my understanding of the story still, and since i like some of your "meta" type of posts i thought i'd ask you - i know about vash and wolfwood's sense of guilt and all, and i understand where vash's comes from but i'm a bit confused about what has wolfwood done "wrong" to make him feel so guilty. i don't know if i'm just stupid *cried* but i just can't figure it out please help!

Ah, you are not stupid buddy and it's not weird to ask ! >:]

Trigun, no matter the medium, is quite the complex story. There's many layers to each characters, especially those like Wolfwood.

I would say, in Stampede, the core of Wolfwood guilt is mainly linked to:

1. He's a murderer.

2. He couldn't stop Livio from sharing his fate.

3. 'Betraying' Vash

None of these things are quite his fault nor his choice. It's the Eye of Michael's. Ultimately, Wolfwood is a protector and will do anything to protect his loved ones.

Legato calls him out on it and say his attachement to people is a weakness. He even tried to harm them to 'free' Wolfwood from his attachement to make him a better weapon.

But the reality is, the only reason Wolfwood is 'picking the gun' at all is for the Orphanage. If he didn't have anything to protect, I even doubt he would have made it past the experiments/training. His attachements are both his strength and his shackles.

Because to protect them, he has to follow a really bloody and cruel path on which the Eye put him. His role there is to punish traitors and deserters. (both of which he will become btw). It's to kill.

And kill he has and he will. A lot. This is a bit spoilerly and mostly based off Trimax (for now) but he will have so much blood on his hands he won't even be able to face the orphanage again until he's forced to.

But what else could he have done? It's not like he had a choice from the start, if he wants to live, if he wants the orphanage to be safe, he has to dirty his hands. That's how the world works and he is just a man doing what he can.

Then he meets Vash. The antithesis of everything he lived by and for. Vash who also wants to protect too much, but refuse to kill. He shows Wolfwood another way is possible and it pisses him off. Because if Vash is right, What does that make him? And that's where he's at in season one. At that cross road where he is left wondering if it's like Vash said, is he a good guy? Or is it what Zazie and Roberto said, just a murderer ?

And even if it's not realistic for a mortal like Wolfwood to never kill, even if he will argue and call Vash foolish or naive, it gets to him. It really does. At his core Wolfwood is follower of Vash and the hope he represents. But not the same way Legato is a follower of Knives. Vash and Wolfwood are equals, they inspire each others and they argue, but they never coerce the other's to take the same path. However, because he's a protector, he has to be Judas. He has to lead Vash to slaughter, no matter what.

As for Livio, the guilt stem from his bond with him being the sole reason his brother got doomed to become a weapon like him. If it wasn't for Wolfwood befriending Livio, he wouldn't have followed him to EoM.

So yeah, too much blood on his hands, having to betray Vash and feeling responsable for Livio's fate. That's what makes him feel all catholic guilt in the universe.

[beesinspades]

reading negative reviews of tristamp is so infuriating. there are valid criticisms to be had but also. so many of them are in bad faith it drives me crazy. like you're really gonna look at me in the eye and tell me that the characters are "not expressive enough"?? or weirdly so??? that the cgi looks UGLY??? that the movements are "robotic"??? that the music is "TASTELESS" and "INVISIBLE"???? i'm going to come into your house and bite your head off while I blast millions knives through the speakers. bitch
