#vash headcanon

[trigunwritings]

Might I have some NSFW headcanons for Vash?

When it comes to any form of intimacy, Vash is especially flighty—which makes it very difficult to get a proper read on his body language, even when you have been given otherwise very enthusiastic consent. This isn’t very noticeable when fully clothed, since Vash is a rather extroverted individual to begin with. But the moment that any skin is revealed (specifically his own) he clams up completely. He doesn’t reject advances after that persay, but simply freezes up like a deer in the headlights of a barreling truck.

It isn’t hard to understand why he’s like that, given the fact that he is covered in scars from head to toe—some of them are gruesome, injuries which would have killed any normal human, while others look light but are utterly numerous and leave most of his body a canvas of painful memories. Since his normal outfit covers almost all of the scars (which is probably the point) you wouldn’t even realize that he has any until you start to peel away his layers of clothing.

To put it simply, Vash is a deeply vulnerable man with a keen sense of keeping an emotional distance from others. While he is energetic and loud in most situations, it often hides the sense of loneliness and fear that lies just behind his happy-go-lucky attitude—but its impossible to wear the same mask when he’s intimate with another person. To be close, to be touched, to be seen and understood. He can’t hide his scars nor his insecurities when under the gaze of even most oblivious lover; but if someone has gotten to that point, then Vash must trust them a great deal.

In terms of intimacy itself (and assuming you’re a person who is able to get his clothes off in the first place) it’s hard to put Vash in any particular box. To call him a switch would be rather inaccurate, as it would imply that he’s confident in taking either role with a partner. Instead he simply enjoys pleasing his partner, shoving his own comfort and preferences aside in an odd sexual interpretation of his savior complex and hoping that they don’t notice or pay too much attention to him.

Vash utterly loathes having attention placed upon him, or at least in the romantic and sexual sense, as he isn’t above acting like a complete fool for even the smallest benefit of someone else. It’s the fear of being perceived, being known. There is some part of Vash that scarcely sees himself as a person given the decades upon decades of live he has spent alone; most people he gets to know either uses, betrays, or leaves him. The few that stick around are still at the mercy of No Man’s Land and the horribly short human life span it offers—so, in short, Vash has convinced himself, at least a little bit, that he doesn’t deserve the gift of a long-lasting relationship with another person. Vash the Stampede is a legend to some, a myth to others, and an individual to none.

Vash headcanons: ways he would show you affection!

- I tend to think he’d enjoy hugging you from behind, like around the waist or just draping his arms over your shoulders

- Sharing food is a big one, I feel like he’d mostly only share his favorite foods with his s/o and it’s so cute to me.. he’s so silly

- He would 100% pout if you are leaving to go somewhere or get something and you don’t kiss him goodbye.. he’d probably cross his arms at the door and just stare at you until you give it to him LMAO 😭

He often calls you gorgeous, but its not exactly for what you think. It seems like it’s merely a physical compliment from your dear boyfriend. But when he says it, he praises you in your globality. He says it almost out of breath like he’s in contemplation of you, you mesmerized him in a all different level. He finds your personality as gorgeous as your appearance, he just deeply adores every inches of you. So there is no better way to describe you in your all than calling you gorgeous while softly brushing his thumb over your cheek and looking deeply through your eyes.

Polygun but it’s how they all see each other

i always really like in books with different narrators when how a character looks itself is unreliable narration bc they describe themself differently compared to how the other pov characters see them, and the dungeon meshi shapeshifter chart scratched that itch for me art wise and I got inspired ✨

To be more specific this is what they each picture when they think of each person 👉👈

Details under cut!!

Meryl clothing details aside because I think she’s just short and the boys aren’t looking at her traveling clothes too hard (and vash clearly likes making his own clothes with how much his overly intricate jacket design changes so ofc his version of her outfit just looks like another one of his designs 🙄) all of the clothes are based on specific parts of the manga!

A big thing with these designs was taking moments that were important regarding each characters relationship with the pov character and adding in visual nods to that to show what memories stuck with them to shape their image of that person.

The clearest example of this is everyone thinking of a different Vash coat, for Wolfwood it’s what he was wearing when he turned him over to Knives, to Meryl it’s his final fight coat, and for Milly it’s when she met him.

It may be Trimax but I will always have a soft spot for 98 millywood so those two’s impression of each other has been influenced by that, but more specifically just the idea of them both alone together, layers and walls down, hair messy from sleep. Their relationship is one I just see very clearly developing over a lot of late nights at inns and bars during traveling!

Vash is the trademarked inventor of Savior Martyr Victim complex supreme and when he thinks of everyone he sees times they’ve been let down by him. To me he’s the biggest broken gear in their dynamic because of the way he holds himself back and isolates, the ship really works in spite of him most of the time. But he also sees traces of times his desire to be by their side was cemented. His Meryl is heavily based on after she was kidnapped by the GHGs and he lost control in front of her, but her hair is longer + earrings are gone like when they saw each other again after Knives released the ark, and she has a black turtleneck peaking out from under her traveling clothes the way it did under her space suit during the final battle. His Milly has the hair and undershirt of the final battle but her outer clothes are from when they traveled together for the majority of Trimax. His wolfwood isn’t doing too well.

Meryl’s versions of Milly and Wolfwood are both pretty similar to how they looked when she first met them, wolfwoods hair is just a little longer like I imagine it being towards the end of Trimax and is very windswept, from their short first meeting in the original Trigun manga run I always got the impression she thought he looked very cool lol, she was staring up at him like ://0 the whole chapter.

I mentioned it before but honestly most of Wolfwood’s Vash is based on how he looked when he turned him over to Knives, not only do I think that moment stuck with him but I feel like it’s a good visual summary of all the mixed feelings he has towards Vash. He’s drawn to him and sees how sad he his but he also sees how inhuman he is and the threat he and knives pose for the people he cares about and prioritizes. At the end of the day Wolfwood chose the orphans over Vash twice and never went back on that, and a big part of why he broke Vash our of Knives prison was just so he could go fight Knives to the death for humanity’s sake, and I think that’s important to his character and their relationship.

Similarly, Meryl’s Vash is really just final arc Vash. She’d already developed a very strong impression of him before then but they would go weeks to even years without seeing each other and each time the way he looked and the way she felt about him would change drastically, it seemed to me like it wasn’t till she was on the ship advocating for him and the people living on gunsmoke that she knew how she felt about him and what kind of person she saw him to be. It was also a huge moment for her character wise with the way she faced her fears in the name of human connection and made the active choice to not be as apathetic and closed off as she realized she had been in the early manga.

I think Milly’s first impression of Vash was strong and accurate enough to not change much, this nice guy is Vash the Stampede and there is definitely something weird about him.

I don’t know why Wolfwood doesn’t know what Meryl’s hair looks like, what’s wrong with that guy? In general his version of Meryl is very inaccurate now that I’m looking at it, I promise he likes her

+small details that are my personal headcanon and not the characters interpretations are Meryl and Wolfwoods hair being a bit more curly/textured than canon, Milly’s eyes being green, and Meryl’s earrings being silver (gold earrings with a white black and blue outfit and silver guns?? C’mon girl accessorize properly)

[anime-grimmy]

Just gonna throw this wip up here too cos god knows when Imma finish it

but

I wanna spread the propaganda of Vash being able to manipulate his patterns

let the boy give himself actual heart and star eyes

[fruitsoxs]

What you wake up to "the morning after" ;;

Mostly wholesome with a little bit of NSFW in knives-- nothing too saucy.

Vash:

The clingiest sleeper you have ever met.

When you wake up, all of your limbs are intertwined and he's snoring super loudly.

He'll probably cling onto you and whine if you try to pry yourself out of his grasp.

When he wakes up, he'll pepper your face with kisses

He'll probably wanna cuddle in bed all morning and talk to you

Oh my God he's also the type to give you his shirt to wear around

He'll go absolutely feral to see you in his clothes

No matter what, he'll make sure you're comfortable and happy

Wolfwood

Not a super clingy sleeper, but he does seek out warmth

You'll probably wake up with his arm draped around your waist, and your back pressed against his chest

He'll wake up first.

Wolfwood will probably take a moment to just lay there with you in his arms, and appreciate this quiet moment

Then he'll wake you up by giving you soft kisses along the back of your neck

"Mornin' hun"

Oh my God his groggy morning voice is absolutely devine

He'll probably just hold you in his arms and kiss your shoulders and neck for a second

It might get saucy, because he cannot keep his hands off of you

Meryl

This girl sleeps like a freaking maniac

Limbs in every direction, kicking, slapping, talking

You'd wake up with her completely sideways, legs draped over you

But it's okay cause she's cute

Will apologize for her sleeping habits until you kiss her a bunch and tell her it's okay

She'll probably lay in bed with you for awhile and talk

She'll be the first to ask if this is a common thing, if you're in a relationship, or if this is a one night type of deal. She really values communication

She'll be understanding no matter what, but will be pretty disappointed if it was a one night only type of deal

If you want to pursue a relationship then...she'll take you on a little breakfast date

No joke, immediately she'll tell you to get dressed and take you out to a cute little diner to eat some greasy breakfast and talk

Knives

He'll leave

Jk jk

You'll probably be pretty sore in the morning if you catch my drift. Covered in bite marks and bruises for sure

This man likes it rough and you cannot convince me otherwise

You'll wake up alone and initially panic

But when you hear the sound of shuffling around in the kitchen you'll calm down

He probably woke up before you on purpose, so he could make you some food

Tells you it's just so you can regain your energy for round two, but he's totally doing it because he really cares

And it's a delicious meal?? So yummy??

If you walk out into the kitchen in his clothes, you better be prepared for him to pick you up and immediately begin making out with you on the counter, food be dammed

He also goes feral seeing you in his clothes, but his feral is...not as innocent lol

He likes seeing you all marked up too

Oh...and you don't really have the option of this being a one time thing

Your his now lol

A little bonus;; when he first wakes up, he'll turn over and watch you sleep for a second. He thinks you look beautiful in the morning. He finds himself relaxing, maybe even smiling?? And before he gets up he'll lean over and kiss your forehead. A little moment of softness that nobody will ever know about

intimacy

Masterlist 11

thinking of…intimacy starved characters, always listening to whatever you have to say and speaking whatever strikes their mind and heart with you, not so much lingering for your touch but when they will be able to see you again and what you’re doing if ever away, only their eyes rest on you whenever the crowds pass by or another tries to take your attention away, they know your desires and fears just as they’ve entrusted to you, a connection that runs deeper with each other than most

[trigunwritings]

I literally just read your time traveling read Drabble and I loved it!!! I am a huge sucker for any well done isekai and I recently got into trigun. Do you have any head cannons on vash with time traveling reader?

Original drabble

-

Though he may not understand a lot of what you are referencing when talking about Earth, Vash is a very good listener and often encourages you to go on any long ramble that happens to cross your mind. He almost treats it like someone telling a story, avidly hanging on to each detail and occasionally piping in with a voice full of awe and curiosity. At first you thought he was making fun of you, but he is truly that interested in hearing whatever you have to say about home.

(He especially loves to hear about all the various kinds of food that was available)

Because you were not born on or have acclimated to the desert landscape of Noman’s Land, Vash is particularly careful about your physical health. It doesn’t take very much for a moment to go from perfectly fine to deadly in a matter of milliseconds—sometimes it’s obvious, like keeping a supply of water on-hand. Other times it’s being able to properly identify a venomous creature hidden in the sand dunes, or avoiding the largest stretches of open sand where the giant worms regularly tunnel deep beneath the surface.

Though he would never admit it at length, Vash is so incredibly happy to have a companion that he can relate to on some emotional level. Someone who is alone and scared, someone with memories of a world and a life so very different from this one. While he had never lived upon Earth, growing up on the SEEDs ship afforded him comforts and beauty that nobody alive now would be able to understand. He treasures this companionship and, even more silently, doesn’t ever want you to leave—he would do anything if it meant you’d rather stay with him.

He’s taken to holding you at night. It started at first as a quick motion to help you out of a nightmare, since they would come fairly regularly in the midst of your stress-riddled sleep. Slowly after that it became something that lingered hours afterward, often into the morning sunlight. And even after that it became a regular occurrence for Vash to settle in bed beside you, arms wrapping around your shoulders as if you had always meant to lay against his chest and listen to the soothing sound of his heartbeat.

Something tells you it’s as much to comfort himself as it is to comfort you.

beautiful lab grown women !!

[paenling]

i love creature Vash but im also obsessed w/ the fact that, according to Trimax, he does not have any superhuman capabilities beyond his longevity + durability -- like all of his physical strength is because he's been working that sigma grindset for 150 years or something. granted he has "inhuman" skill because he's had a longer time to practice than most, but he's doing things the human way. Knives hates humans and distances himself from them in favor of using his powers for EVERYTHING (see: he doesn't know how to jump through a window without getting hurt) but Vash just works out for 3 hours every morning. all his agility, marksmanship & ace gunman swagger is 100% natural skill and dedication.

imagine being some motherfucker with unfathomable eldritch knife powers who thinks he's an angel sent from God, only to be shown up by a fitness enthusiast pool noodle with a willingness to bite

[varilien]

For the triggun holloween requests, vash and wood couple costumes

ive gotten the suggestion for vashwood morticia and gomez a few times which is great cuz ive been thinking forever about it purely for the "speaks french x speaks spanish" of it all fhdjdjd

[supernova351]

Headcanon moment!!! Vash is canonically 5’11 from what I’ve seen, and Wolfwood is 6’0. But Vash is consistantly drawn taller than Wolfwood so I propose it’s all in his hair and bimbo boots. He and Wolfwood get an inn together for the first time and Vash tells Wolfwood the shower is ready and has good hot water. His boots are off and his hairs weighed down and he’s shorter than Wolfwood. Wolfwood makes a comment about how he should call him floppy instead of spikey and goes to shower and Vash is just silently brooding. Wolfwood passes him and he’s just like wait a damn minute

[astra-dark]

Do you ever think of how Meryl probably had a hard time sleeping the first few weeks after her and Wolfwood went their separate ways post July, not just because of the horrors she witnessed and endured but also because she had gotten use to hearing the boys and Roberto snoring.

I can just imagine that that first night all alone in a single bed inn room instead of the packed cab of the truck and the absence of the sleeping sounds of her companions had to hurt her deeply.

Hi, I wanted to ask how you think Vash from Trigun Stampede 2023 and Vash from 1998 would react if the person they like gave them a big kiss? I’m curious :3

Okay Here it is :3

How would Vash from 1998 and 2023 react to receiving a kiss from someone they like?

Vash from Trigun Stampede 2023 and Vash from 1998 have slightly different personalities, but both are known for being very kind and a bit clumsy when it comes to romance.

Vash from 1998: This Vash is more playful and has a very comedic side. If the person he likes gave him a big kiss, he would probably be extremely surprised and embarrassed. He might even trip or fall, with a shocked look on his face, followed by a goofy smile. He would try to hide his embarrassment with a joke or a funny comment, but deep down, he would be very happy and maybe even a little emotional.

Vash from Trigun Stampede 2023: This Vash is a bit more serious and melancholic due to the darker tone of the series. If he received a big kiss from the person he likes, he would probably be equally surprised, but his reaction would be more restrained. He might blush and even stutter a bit, not knowing exactly how to react. However, his eyes would shine with happiness, and he might give a shy smile. He would cherish this moment, keeping it as a precious memory in his heart.

Both Vashes have a huge heart, and despite their differences, they would both be deeply touched by such a direct gesture of affection. :)

Is he a trans man?
