cool little detail i missed on previous readthroughs: knives cut this metal pillar during his massacre of the town, and his knives are SO sharp they left it with a super-smooth reflective surface

the difference in wording here is neat to me. vash says "alive," as you would for a person. wolfwood says "works," as you would for a machine.

do not. blaze hockey player RPF. onto my dash

i like the idea that OG ryo wasn't even in love with akira. satan was just so full of both love and fear that the moment he gained memories of a best friend he hadn't seen in months, he couldn't help but seek him out and make him his whole world

they should make an anglerfish emoji so i can appropriately react to people saying the word nefarious

man. there's something about these two being forced to sit in this room and stare at each other, having a battle of wills, for more than eight months. they're both so desperate to win, there's gotta be like... a level of personal enmity to it that far surpasses even the enmity they've had since trigun volume 2. and yet, they're also very much the same. both people who don't really give a shit about themselves and only continue living because of knives. both trapped here by knives's orders.

trigun is truly the story of vash the stampede and his 5,000 foils

literally jumping for joy with a little tear in his eye bc brandon's alive. 😭 i wish we got to see more interactions between them, they really seem like good friends

we saw similar in the last volume, but i think this is a great moment showing vash's plant abilities being used to defend rather than destroy. this bit is a clear departure from the ways we (and everyone in the story including vash!) have seen his power before; even in the previous volume when he did things like stopping legato's bike and preventing rubble from falling on people, there was still the very real threat of him Blowing The Fuck Up. that threat is absent here

of course, that doesn't stop everyone in the town from seeing it as proof of his destructive potential. which it is. but at the same time it's more than that

(as a side note, i Love that he's sometimes called the devil. absolute fallen angel of a man)

thinkin' about rescreatu hours. specifically the stock market and the fact that they had to take away the "stocks rise and fall based on the NPC shops' sales" function because players kept using it to influence the stocks' prices and make themselves money. virtual pet site market manipulation, babey!

[smacks the top of dungeon meshi] this bad boy can fit SO many themes in it

for anyone else who keeps getting that long-ass ad from "it gets better" literally every three posts: if you stick "itgetsbetterproject" in your filtered words (settings > general settings > filtering), it'll appear as a filtered post and be MUCH shorter as a result

^ discord emoji that has ruined me. it's like a :3c for the modern era. mischief, good-natured ribbing, bemusement, regular amusement, it's everything i could ask for
