y'all seemed to quite like the little crocheted ruthari (TY ๐) so i thought maybe some of you would be interested in a few close-ups ๐
(i added some crocheter rambling so feel free to just click on the photo and swipe to skip all that)
i also throught perhaps @careful-silent-still and @hypherr would like to see them too? ๐๐
so. first up, runaan. he has wire inside so he has some degree of movement, but he's also quite stuffed and the movement is unfortunately limited
i've been crocheting for a year, so the idea of coming up with my own patterns for his clothes was terrifying. therefore, i ended up doing just his boots, pants and the vest (it's hot in the silvergrove this time of the year, he doesn't need the shirt or the coat ๐
), plus of course the horn cuffs. all accesories are removable of course. the original idea for the pendant was for it to be just one strand with a loop at the end but it didn't look good at all so i switched to something way simpler and more effective)
i suck at embroidery and i hate it but what can you do ๐ซ
so i made runaan first and he was going to be a little birthday gift to myself, but ofc it'd be criminal to make only him and the plan has always been to make him a little ethari too. i finished him on the 5th so i guess it all ended up being a gift for him ๐คฃ
once i saw his turnarounds, though, it took me quite some time to hype myself up to actually start making him, because it's so many different clothes with no existing patterns and they're all so detailed (runaan's were too but i had gained some confidence while making him and wanted to work on ethari properly) ๐ฉ still, i somehow did it.
i did change the flap of fabric hanging from his belt as i had no way of making a smooth ombre transition from purple to dark turquoise like he actually has it - so instead of 2 jarring colours, it's 4 jarring colours ๐ and i also didn't do the embroidery on that part and it made me very happy - especially since there was plenty of embroidery i couldn't skip
and just like with runaan, all of his articles of clothing are removable (the flap is sewn onto the belt, and the green patches are sewn onto the boots but other than that, everything is separate)
there is, however, one issue ๐
i think it stems from a couple of choices i made: 1. i used a different, slightly thicker type of yarn for ethari's body than i did for runaan; 2. i used a 3,0 mm hook instead of 2,5 mm; and 3. i messed up the patterns for ethari's limbs (i did them in rounds instead of rows; it was late and i was tired and by the time i realised that, i was on the 3rd one & couldn't be bothered to scrap them all - which i probably should have done XD oh well).
the first 2 choices were deliberate as ethari is canonically a little bit taller than runaan, but umm...
let's just assume elves grow until they're 40 or so, and so after 2 years in the coin, runaan stayed behind ๐
oh, and i also wanted them to be able to hold hands so they have magnets in their hands but in the end, they weren't strong enough to still work through two layers of yarn โน๏ธ i guess i could still use a little clasp but we'll see about that
so yeah. here they are ๐
P.S. please enjoy runaan at his baby yoda phase:

DO YOU REMEMBER THE "Your Soulmate Can Hear You Sing" TIKTOK TREND?! NOW THINK OF THAT WITH TRIGUN!! ๐ฉ๐๐๐
(๏ฝก๏ฝฅฯ๏ฝฅ๏ฝก)๏พโกThis may be too much to request, so please ignore if it's too much! Or at least tell me so I'd know.... ๐๐
(Vash/Wolfwood) couldn't sleep, so they stayed up. Until he hears a voice singing him to sleep...
Reader, after turning (18 or 20) years old, they are given a song to sing to their soulmate. They chose "Fly me to the moon - Nightcore cover" It's such a sweet song, and the lyrics on it are perfect for him
In the morning, (Vash/Wolfwood) ask the others, Meryl, Milly/Roberto, and (Wolfwood/Vash) if they heard it, but they didn't. Milly/Roberto says that maybe it's his soulmate singing to them.
How would (Vash/Wolfwood)'s reaction and thought of having a soulmate?
Bonus: Reader learns they can talk to their soulmate via singing their words to him
Bonus bonus: Reader watches an episode scene of Trigun where (Vash/Wolfwood) has a singing soulmate.
Ps. I can't decide which boy to choose, so I'll let you decide to either pick both or one of them ๐
Pps. Your writing makes me squeal and kick my legs, it's just so good ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฏ
A/N: Omg I love the singing soulmate au!!!! And you KNOW I have to do a triangle soulmate!!!!! They both deserve absolutely everything! I also hope it's not too complicated to read. I've made pov by planet, not necessarily who's personal pov, if that makes sense.. enjoy!!!
Jupiter and Mars
Vash x reader x Wolfwood soulmate au!
Earth:
You walked along the local nature trail with one earphone out while you sang to your heart's content, not caring who heard you. You kept one earphone out to best monitor your own melody, using your index finger like a conductor to help guide you to high notes and low notes of each song.
You wanted to go on a relaxing walk before going out with friends for your belated birthday. Nothing crazy, just maybe a nice dinner and playing video games.
Soon a beloved song began on your iPod. A Nightcore song that you preferred over the original for once. Its flowy piano and catchy snare beat improved the original drastically, in your opinion. You swayed in the late morning hours as you sang to the song, making your way towards one of your favorite spots on the trail.
***
Gunsmoke:
"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars." Vash sat up in bed at the Inn to the beautiful melody, "Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars." Jupiter and Mars? Those were names he hadn't heard in a long time,
"In other words, Hold my hand. In other words, Darling, kiss me." The voice's beautiful vibrato echoed in his mind. He got up, looking around the room, and out through the window. No one was around at this hour.
***
"Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forever more." Nicholas had been listening to the angelic voice half awake in his bed, "You are all I long for. All I worship and adore." He debated grabbing a cigarette from the end table, "In other words, Please be true. In other words, Iโฆ loveโฆ youโฆ" Nicholas sat on the bed, lighting up another cigarette as the voice began the song over once again.
***
"Did you hear that last night?" Vash asked as he joined Wolfwood, Milly and Meryl at the breakfast table.
"Hear what?" Meryl asked.
"That beautiful song. It had to be sung by an Angel." Vash sighed dreamily as he brought a bite of pancakes to his mouth.
"I didn't hear anything, what about you, Mr. Wolfwood?" Milly smiled at him.
"Yeah, I did hear some singing last night, actually." The whole table paused, "Something about the moon, right? But which one were they singing about?" Vash's eyes widened.
"You heard it too, Wolfwood?"
"Yeah, it was a really pretty song. Why would someone be out in town so late singing that loudly though?" He pointed his fork at Vash.
"Well, I looked outside, and there wasn't-"
"I'm so into you, I can barely breathe. And all I wanna do, is to fall in deep." The angelic voice returned. Vash and Wolfwood jumped to their feet, looking around the room, the other patrons seeming unaware of the siren song resonating in the two gunman's heads.
"You hear that right?" Vash hissed out, still looking for the person singing.
"But close ain't close enough 'Til we cross the line, hey, yeah. So name a game to play And I'll roll the dice, hey." Wolfwood stared at the table, lost in thought.
"Oh, baby, look what you started. The temperature's rising in here. Is this gonna happen? Been waiting and waiting for you to make a move (ooh, ooh)"
"Vash, no one else can hear them." Wolfwood growled.
"Before I make a move (ooh, ooh)" the song soon cut off, as if they were interrupted, but the voice kept humming what must have been the next bit of the song.
"Why can only you two hear it then?" Milly asked.
"Well, if I remember from my past, sometimes people who can hear someone else's song from far away, they're consideredโฆ Soulmatesโฆ." Vash's face heated up to match the color of his coat.
"Then why can we bothโฆ" Nicholas frowned before his face snapped up in realization, "We're both their soulmate!" He exclaimed. Vash nodded, a smile spreading across his face.
"Wait. Does that mean you can hear me sing too? Now that all three of us have thisโฆ connection? Let's try it!" Vash left the table, and trotted outside momentarily.
***
Earth:
"So... On the first evening a pebble...From somewhere out of nowhere drops upon the dreaming world." A voice sang to you. Youโฆ knew this voice.
The irony that they sang this song. It couldn't be. Youโฆ you lived on Earth. B-but Johnny Young Bosch was already confirmed to have found his soulmate (and the age gap was way too massive for anyone's comfort.) It couldn't be him! Butโฆ that just meantโฆ
***
Gunsmoke:
"Did you hear me sing, Wolfwood?" Vash came back in.
"Y-yeah, I did. It was that song that your Mom sang, right?"
"Y-yeah." Vash was embarrassed once again.
Here, my turn. I wonder if they can hear me too." He cleared his throat, and glanced around, not knowing what to sing.
He soon settled on a song with no words that he'd heard a while back. He hummed, trying to remember the song. He didn't often pay attention to music, but he did enjoy it.
***
Earth:
M-Moonlight Sonata??? From a different voice??? You paused, analyzing the voice.
"Nicholasโฆ. And that must mean Vash tooโฆ" tears soon ran down your face as you spoke your realization. Your soulmates were Nicholas D Wolfwood and Vash the Stampede. Fictional characters. You took a deep breath with your response.
***
Gunsmoke:
"So... futatsu-me no yoru ni
koishi no ko ga te wo tori WARUTSU wo kaku" the voice responded.
"That sounds likeโฆ" Nicholas squinted.
"That's the original language that 'Sound Life' was sung in!" Vash exclaimed as the voice then turned to return the melody of the song Wolfwood had sung.
"Quick sing something back!" Wolfwood hissed at Vash. By now, their food was cold and abandoned at their new mission. However they had the attention of the other patrons at this point, so they scrambled up the stairs to Wolfwood's room.
"Are youโฆ our soulmate? What is your name?" He sang once they got settled in a seated position on Wolfwood's bed.
"I think I am. I almost can't believe it's you two." The voice then sang their name to the duo.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nicholas sang an off key response back.
"Are you Vash and Nicholas?" The voice replied, their own names sounding like heaven to them.
"At your service, my dear." Vash sang back. There was a long pause.
"Iโฆ I may never meet you if that's the case." Their voice was shaky as they sang.
"Are they crying?" Wolfwood whispered to Vash.
"Is the infamy of Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood so scary you would avoid us?" Vash almost seemed annoyed.
"N-No!" The voice was high pitched, almost not constituting as a portion of song, "You're so far away from me. A whole dimension. In my home, far away on Earth, you're not evenโฆ real." The last word squeaked out once more.
"Not.. real?" Vash whispered.
"Whaddya mean not real? We're right here for you. We can hear you." Wolfwood sang to them. Another pause.
"You're a fictional series on Earth. A story about Gunsmoke, Vash, and his attempt to save the world from his brother." They sang, "I can never reach you."
***
Earth:
The tears wouldn't stop flowing from your face as Vash and Nicholas tried to comfort you, and ask more questions. You didn't want to answer. You'd found your soulmates, and for what? For them to not even live in this dimension? For them to be fictional by all definitions? You threw a plush toy across the room in frustration. How were you supposed to ever meet them?
***
Gunsmoke:
Their soulmate didn't respond to Vash & Wolfwood's questions after that.
"What do we do now?" Wolfwood asked.
"I think they need a little time. They just found out they have two soulmates who don't exist on the same plane as they do. Iโฆ I'm kind of heartbroken for them." Vash glanced up at Nicholas, "I mean, I have you now, but think about them. They're aloneโฆ on Earth. In our world's past, they're without us." He frowned.
"You're rightโฆ." Wolfwood joined his frown. Vash took Wolfwood's hand.
"Are youโฆ alright, Songbird?" Wolfwood asked their soulmate.
"I don't think soโฆ" their shaky voice replied once more.
"We're with you now. If we can't be there in person, let us be here with you in song."
"Okay, Angel." They replied.
Since then, their soulmate seemed much happier to sing with them everyday. It appeared their day/night cycle was opposite to the one on Gunsmoke. Am and pm were flipped, sometimes causing some nights without sleep for both parties. In the Gunsmoke mornings, Vash and Wolfwood could ask their soulmate how their day had been. They asked if the two of them were staying out of trouble. The answer was always no of course.
Vash and Wolfwood used their new mental connection to allow them to fight with increased synchronicity. Telling each other to watch their 6, or if one of them was injured. This, however, worried you immensely, hearing them get hurt, and not wanting to interrupt their battle, even though your heart ached to help them.
***
Gunsmoke:
You woke up to the uncomfortable feeling of sand. Sand?
Your eyes burst open to see nothing but desert wasteland around you. You would have cried in a panic if it weren't for the fact you could see a town on the horizon.
"Hey, guys, not to scare you, it I just woke up I'm the desert" you sang to your boys, "there's a town on the horizon, but I don't know where I amโฆ."
"Holy fucking shit!" Nicholas sang, but it borders on a scream.
"As soon as you find out, we'll come get you." Vash sang. You hummed in agreement.
You found yourself wandering into a local inn.
"Excuse me, I just wandered in from town, and I lost my map. Which town is this?" You asked the innkeeper at the desk."
"You're in Warren's City. Anything I can help with? You look like you lost your belongings." The man asked.
"N-No, I've actually got a friend in town, so I'll just stay there. How serendipitous." You smiled, and left the Inn."
"Warren's Cityโฆ" you sang quietly, as there were people about.
"Perfect! You can stay with Frank Marlon!" Vash sang, "Tell him he owes me a favor for the bank robbery!"
"Will do." You sang. You remembered Frank from the TV series. He was a good man.
"It'll be two days before we can get there, so hang tight, songbird!" Nicholas sang to you.
You made your way to his house with the help of some passersby, and found him quite confused to see a stranger at his door. When you explained that you were a friend of Vash's and needed a place to stay until he arrived, Frank was more than welcome to let you stay. During that time, you helped with anything he needed. You managed to learn about the upkeep and repair of various guns.
Two days, just as they said, Vash and Nicholas almost busted down Frank's door, both calling your name as they crashed into you in a hug you thought would tear you apart, and squish you like a toothpaste tube. Nicholas even tripped on his way in, and scrambled to you on his knees. Hugging your waist like a child would to his parents.
"Are you okay? How did you even get here?" Vash asked, cradling your head into his chest, petting your hair.
"I-I don't know, but I'm here nowโฆ I'm hereโฆ" your body relaxed under their hug.
"Don't worry, Songbirdโฆ we'll keep ya safe." Nicholas snuggled into your side.
Since then, you've traveled by their sides, learned how to shoot a gun in case of emergency, and some hand to hand combat for extra Insurance.
One night, when the three of you slept peacefully in your shared bed, you hadn't quite fallen asleep yet, when you gently began to sing petting the hair of both snoozing men who clung to your body in their sleep,
"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the starsโฆ Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Marsโฆ"
