Selection Day

“Mr. Wagner, this is an impressive application.” The man mused, “Graduated college last year with a 4.0 GPA in biology. I see you completed prep courses to become a physician.”

James Wagner nodded, “That would be ideal.”

His father promised he’d have nothing to worry about on Selection Day, which occurred during the month of one’s 23rd birthday. Judges reviewed your file: extracurriculars, criminal record, education, etc., to determine the perfect career for you- and give you all the tools to succeed.

“I see here your father is Senator Wagner and your mother is Dr. Wagner, both distinguished in their fields. Quite a tough election year though.”

“Dad isn’t too worried though. His campaign manager says he has a plan.” James leaned back in his chair, “Already planning the victory party.”

“You should celebrate too. I think you’ll be perf...” The judge’s phone rang, cutting him off, “Excuse me Mr. Wagner, I have to take this.”

The judge left James to himself. The young man sighed in relief, despite some growing anticipation. When his brother went through the process, they didn’t change too much. They enhanced his attractive features and gave him a greater sense of ambition- all fitting for his career in finance. But he was still his brother. James hoped for something similar. He knew his application would let him select from “tier A models” so he was feeling good. And afterwards, he and his dad would go golfing and get dinner down at the country club to celebrate.

“Mr. Wagner, come with me” The judge said as he returned to the room.

James nodded, “Uh by the way, I was hoping to go with a Tier A physician model...”

“No worries James, just follow me please.”

James followed closely entering a room filled with various pods. A knot formed in his stomach. This is where it would happen. He gulped and watched as the judge walked towards a pod and pressed some buttons. This was it. Calmly, James undid his button shirt, revealing his lean and tanned body. Years of track and caddying on the golf course gave him a nice tan and lean physique. As he finished undressing, his attention shifted to the pod as it whirred to life and opened.

“Here it goes.” He whispered.

The young man stepped into the pod and watched the door shut. A small window allowed him to see the outside world and he nodded at the judge, who frowned in return. And then it started. The mechanical hands that lay dormant suddenly came to life, scanning James’s body.

“Applicant: James Wagner.” A soothing mechanical voice stated, before rattling off demographics that James simply tuned out, “Model: Gym Staff, Front Desk, Tier D.”

“Wait what?” James called out, “Hey! I think somethings wrong.” He tried to convey, “That’s not...”

He barely had a moment to speak as a metallic substance wrapped around his legs. He cried out as it burned his skin. And slowly, his legs began to expand, filling with raw muscle. His slender calves popped with muscle, while his 10.5 inch feet expanded to size 13. He held back tears as his thighs expanded with firm muscle. And then, his lower extremities were freed.

“Holy fuck!” He shouted, as he wriggled his new toes, “Please, I think there’s been some kind of mistake!” The judge wasn’t paying attention anymore, just talking to someone on the phone.

Before he could continue, a saddle emerged from underneath him and wrapped around his ass and cock. A gentle warmth encompassed them, causing James to shudder. But as he focused on the sensation, more of the substance covered his chest and torso. Similar to his legs, he felt an intense warming sensation. And as the warmth intensified, he felt himself growing. He watched as a strong core and bounceable pecs formed from his once lean physique and groaned as his torso stretched, adding height. But it wasn’t just height. He was becoming wider as his back expanded with muscle. When the mold finally released him, he was left with a physique he could only dream of obtaining naturally. But this wasn’t what he wanted. He didn’t want to be a hulking beast of a man.

“You need to...” James started to cough as a green haze entered the pod, “What... fuck... bro please...” He kept coughing, barely noticing his use of the word “bro” and his deepening voice, “Dude, this ain’t cool!”

He watched as his arms were encased. Biceps and triceps exploded from his lean arms, while his forearms grew with muscle. When his arms were released, he could gawk at them in awe.

“Dude, check it out, my guns are lookin' massive!” James’s eyes widened, “Dude, why do I sound all weird? Not stoked about it, man!” Try as he might, he couldn’t control the new bro lingo that left his mouth.

And before he could say another word, a mask wrapped around his face and neck. He cried as his face was remodeled. Simultaneously, personal details were added to his physique. Tattoos of some meaning to James were carved into his body. Meanwhile, he was sprayed with a different solution that caused hair to sprout from his abdomen and chest, eventually thickening and forming a dense treasure trail. His arms and legs were not spared, nor were his ass or dick. And with a mechanical screech, the mask finally left his face. His new eyes were dark, topped by thick dark eyebrows. His light brown hair replaced with darker brown. His clean shaven face now adorned with stubble. And his angular face just a bit rounder, with a pair of thick lips. The young man felt his new face and rubbed a hand across his hairy pecs.

“Seriously, dude? No way!” He grumbled, ““Dude, I'm not a bro, change me back, seriously!” James felt tears well up in his eyes. This wasn’t him, he didn’t sound like this. He still had his intelligence, but no one would take him seriously.

But his thoughts were interrupted as the his privates were freed. James’s eyes widened. His dick was never that big, nor did he have foreskin before. He watched in awe as it started expanding and he wrapped his hand around it.

“Whoa, bro, check out the size of that thing!” He started pumping his new cock, “Bro, this is epic! It feels so damn good!” A new mist filled the pod as he continued to jerk off, causing James to scrunch his nose, “Dude, it totally reeks in here, like a locker room or something.” From this point on, that smell would stick to him. He’d always smell like a dirty locker room.

However this did little to deter him as he jerked off. And as he did so, he felt a quick jab in his arm as the contents of a syringe were dumped into him.

“Dude, my head's all fuzzy right now, it's weird.” He moaned as his IQ plummeted and new knowledge filled his brain, “Heh, check this out, dude.” He moaned as he bounced his pecs, “Dude, wait, my brain's acting up. I'm, like, still smart, yeah?” James tried to remember facts that he once memorized but found nothing. His golf skills replaced by workout routines, his adherence to social norms evaporating, and his desire to present himself well replaced with a need to wear tank tops and gym shorts, “Whatever, bro, it doesn't matter. I've got this, and that's what counts.” He winked at his dick and continued to jerk himself off, moving his hand faster and faster, “Fuck yeah, dude!” He moaned as he came, covering himself in cum and falling to the ground. And there he sat, totally spent until the door to the pod opened.

“Hey James,” James looked up and grinned.

"Yo, what's up, campaign manager bro?"

The older man smiled and turned to the judge, “Very good job, James here is perfect. No one will think Selection Day is rigged if even Senator Wagner’s son isn’t safe.”

“Nah, bro, it's Jim, not James.” Jim chuckled, “Like ‘gym’, get it bro?”

“Here Jim, get cleaned up.” The judge said, throwing the man a towel.

After wiping the cum from his hairy abdomen and chest, he got dressed in a tank top and gym shorts. And as he walked through the building, he barely cared at the glances of disgust and the people holding their noses. Nor did he care for the judgmental stares as he scratched his balls and pits, completely oblivious to social norms. When he finally got outside, he smiled when he saw his father’s limo. He quickly walked over and jumped in with a grin.

“Who are you?” His father asked, scrunching his nose.

Jim grinned and pulled his dad in for a hug, “Yo, dad, it's me, Jim. What's good?"

Several months had passed since then and much changed for Jim. His father quickly disowned him, believing that James hadn’t been honest with the family if this was the outcome of Selection Day. Besides, appealing outcomes was a lengthy process and for Jim’s dad, there could be great political repercussions given his support for the process. So Jim would remain. His life on the golf course and dining in the country club just a memory.

But Jim didn’t mind as he entered his small studio apartment and tossed his gym bag to the ground. He walked over to the dirty mattress in the middle of his room and plopped down, scratching his pits and flipping through his phone.

“Bro, check it out! Dad crushed the election, fuck yeah!” He cheered with a grin. His grin only widened as he read the text from the cute blond guy from the gym.

Even if he couldn’t celebrate with his family that night, Jim was going to celebrate. And as he texted the guy his address, he could feel the monster in his pants start to grow.

Next Door Neighbor

You live in a nice quiet neighborhood with a small house to call home. You bought it after many years of busting your ass off working two, nearly three jobs at times, and once you had enough money for a down payment, you got yourself a house. You stayed in this house for two years, happy and content.

And as a little treat, a new neighbor moved in right next door.

You couldn't help but admire your new neighbor. A older man who's body is built of a greek god. He's 6'10, handsome, a bit of a scruff, grey/white hair, and his voice is deep and scratchy, sending the heat straight down to your pussy.

He's a kind neighbor named Erik Magnus Lehnsherr. He offered you to come over for tea in hopes of getting to know his neighbor and you graciously accepted his offer. You wore a pair of too tight shorts that pronounce your ass and hips, and a crop top that leaves little to the imagination. You sat on his porch across from him, and oh he's a gentleman. Either that or he's struggling to keep his gaze on your face.

You didn't care that he's older. More experienced. Because that means he must be good in bed, right? Able to roll his hips in a way that sends stars flying in your vision. Kisses that takes your breath away. Fingers that curl the right way against the right spots.

God, you need him.

For weeks after, during the summer, whenever he's outside for more than ten minutes, you're out in a skimpy bathing suit in your drive way on a lounge chair sun bathing. He's mowing his lawn? You throw on a pair of booty shorts and a bikini top, turning on the hose and washing your car.

You've come to find out your bedroom window faces his bedroom window, so at night you leave your curtains open, changing into your silky night gowns in hopes he's watching. Hoping he's picturing you in his bed, plowing into your body, bringing forth orgasm after orgasm.

One day, you decided to go for it.

You order a pool and have it delivered to your home. It took three days for it to fill up with water, but alas it's finished. You toss on a bikini and knock on his door.

Erik answers, eyes wide at the sight of you. You smile sweetly, pointing your thumb over your shoulder. "I bought a pool and thought it'll be nice to have someone join me." You step closer, purposely bouncing your boobs. "Would you like to join me?"

He didn't even hesitate. "Of course, my dear." He holds his arm out to test the air. "It's a hot summer day. I think it's perfect to spend this day in a cold pool."

30 minutes later, he's thrusting into you.

Your legs wrapped around his waist, hands gripping his shoulders for dear life, choking on your moans while he attacks your neck in kisses. He's bigger than you'd imagine. A massive cock at an impressive length of 10.5 inches, his girth stretching your walls apart. His tip kisses your cervix and with every bump your walls clench tightly around him, pussy frothing on his cock.

"Did you think I didn't know what you were doing?" he whispered hotly in your ear, his hands gripping the railing. "How you teased me with your body...I tried being respectful. I wanted to be a good neighbor." He snaps his hips and you cry out, digging your nails into his skin. "But now I can no longer hold back. Not now, especially with how wet and warm your cunt is...how tight you're squeezing me," he groans, thrusting into you faster.

The water sloshes around you two, thanks to the force of his thrusts. You moan into the crook of his neck, pleasure melting your mind. His cock sends tingles and heat waves throughout your body. The rolling of his hips leaves you breathless. God, you knew he'd be good at that.

You yelp when Erik rips off your top and begins to suck on your breasts. You whimper, head falling back on your shoulders. His cock drills deep into your sloppy pussy, his groans louder, and he picks up the pace of his hips. He loses himself in the sensation of your warmth, his balls tightening.

You bounce on his cock, lewd moans escaping your mouth, his massive cock hitting your sweetest spots. You swear you feel him curve inside of you and you squeal, nails clawing ath is back. Every thrust sends the world spinning, your tongue rolling out of your mouth, coating your chin in spit. The delicious stimulation drives you mad.

Liquid fire courses through your trembling body, pleasure completely taking over. A coil tightens in your stomach and you grit your teeth. You're close. So damn close. You begin to kiss and suck on his neck, urging the older man on.

Erik groans at the sensation of your lips and fucks into your puffy sex faster. His hips go wild, obliterating your cunt. You scream his name over and over until your pussy squeezes his cock tightly, white blinding your vision, cunt squirting out into the pool. The force of your orgasm brings forth his own. His hips stutter as he cums inside of you with a heavy groan, strings of thick, hot seed painting your walls.

A smile graces your face the exact moment your eyes roll to the back of your head.

Oh, this is definitely going to happen more often.

*huffing copium in my clown make up* Q3 2025 falls during the tenth anniversary of DAI, current pr cycle for EA is like 5-6 months, if EA announces in June then that means it’ll release in November or December which is perfect for the holiday season. DA4 is 6-7 months away

it definitely seems that EA and the games industry in general these days is opting for shorter styles of marketing cycles. 👁️ FY25 ending at the end of March 2025 means that DA:D is no more than ~10.5 months away at most. and ofc, the big summer reveal is just around the corner, with summer arriving in about 3 weeks. a november release would be cool bc of the DA:O 15 and DA:I 10 year anniversaries. in any event its the home stretch, exciting times. 🐲

each according to its kind by @chaparral-crown

More photos under the cut!

Statistics:

192,571 words || 604 pages

chapter titling: crimson text

body text: charter, 10.5 points

So I went a little crazy after reading two chaparral_crown fics one month ago, and promptly started typesetting. the body and chapter titling is relatively simple. when i first started binding this, i knew i wanted to emulate the feeling of trees and wilderness, but i wasn’t sure what i wanted to put on the cover. i did, however have this very lovely green colibri malachite bookcloth, though it did get ridiculously scuffed very easily. I ultimately decided on this beautiful (intricate) stag skull design which was so symmetrical that i had to put it on the spine.

what i love about the design is how simple it is, design-wise, yet it’s still very impactful, where when you look at just the front cover, the antler seemingly comes out from nowhere, a lot like the wendigo that haunts Will’s dreams. i had help from @pleasantboatpress who gave some great suggestions for the cover titling.

for the cover spread i really wanted to do a double page spread - and i chose this really beautiful stock photo of Astoria’s pier.

I used these beautiful green and gold foiled cardstock papers which i have had on hand for a while.

All in all, i loved doing this bind and i love the endproduct. it’s not perfect - my glue management was abysmal for this bind, but it’s still something i’m absolutely proud of.

A little process pic of the spine post HTV application. As you can see- it’s mostly mess with me, the cricut mini press, washi tape and a ruler. jeez, it took me an hour to apply it after measuring it incessantly. shop supervisor AKA the hound licked it a few times and tried to investigate the mini press so i had to banish him from my living room. every time i apply HTV with the supervisor around i’d need to spend 25 mins post HTV application picking fur out from under the HTV.

Best Digital Circus character designs in my opinion

1- Jax (10.5/10)

I genuinely think hes the best one not because hes the pretty and hot bad boy or wathever. But because he genuinely have multiple points on his design that make him the best character design to me.

The rubber-rose cartoon inspiration, the shapes, the eyes with square pupils, the smile, the character animation and expressions. He feels familiar but at the same time you never saw a character as unique as him yet.

You look at him and alredy know whats hes supposed to be. Even people who dont watch the show can look at his design drawn in the most basic way ever and know what he is.

My School teacher looked at the drawing i made of him and alredy knew he wans't good. An desigh that is so simple but even so, extremely appealing, hes absolute perfection (in my eyes)

Jax being extremely easy to draw and very recognizable from far away by a bunch of people is Simply genius. Also, his design can easily make him look genuinely scary at times.

2- Pomni (10/10)

Alright, like, just look at her, her colorfull beach ball eyes that becomes sketchy doodles when shes in panic, the eyelashes in opposite directions, the black eyelids and black mouth gums, the hair made of basic square-ish shapes, the primary colors on her entire design, the shapes of the jester outfit

Very unique,appealing and eye-candy design. I dont think her design reflects her personality as much Jax's design does BUT thats defenitely because Its suppose to represent the fact that shes the most recent human that arrived who got stuck in a cartoon character, wich gives the design concept some plus points.

Shes defenitely the top 2 compared to the other ones for me. She ins't extremely popular for no reason, Extremely recognizable and iconic alredy

3- Caine (9/10)

Even If i dont have much feelings for Caine as a character that much, i can say that his design is one of the best ones.

Him not having exactly a face really adds to the uncanny vibes he has, dont doubt we will see some real uncomfortable and kinda scary scene of his "face" one day if given the opportunity. And his eyes being such a big focus really adds to the concept of "computer watching everything and everyone "

And the overall "weird obscure cartoon character from the early 2000's" vibes too. And maybe thats just me but the three simple colors on his design makes Caine really nice to look at and his expressions are real good.

Overall, really good design. not as much as Pomni and Jax but still above the others

4- Zooble (8.5/10)

Even thought Zooble is a bunch of random and weird shapes attached toghether, theyre somehow still extremely eye candy and not cloying to look at and in a character design stand point thats not something easy to achieve in my opinion. So yeah fourth place for me

5- Gangle (7.5/10)

Not much to say about her besides that Its Just another really good design, simple but appealing, even thought i think she is really hard to draw without looking weir at times. But she gets some plus points cuz she is really creative

6- Ragatha (7/10)

She is cute and pretty and her design concept fits her character as well buut compared to the others i dont think shes that impressive. Shes Just memorable and has a good concept wich all of the characters are

7- Kinger (7/10)

Not really much to say about him beside what i alredy say about the others. A memorable and funny design overall.

A list of my favourite f1 documentaries ever, that I also made with the help of this answer by @eliotheeangelis :

1) Fangio: A Life of speed - This one got me into f1, I think it’s a perfect portrait of racers and what makes the greatest of the sport so special.

2) Race to Perfection - Why didn’t I got myself into engineering??? this documentary series it’s mind blowing and it dissects very well the technology aspect through f1 history.

3) Ferrari: Race to Immortality - footage of ferrari in the 50’s and how the scuderia became a myth, and it’s so ✨aesthetic✨

4)Lucky!: Even though it’s about Bernie Ecclestone, it’s not about him at all. It’s a great picture of how modern f1 came to be. Also it’s very humbling, if there’s drama today, no there isn’t, nothing will top the drivers’ strikes and Max Mosely, and Jean Marie Balestre.

5)Brawn GP: It’s so uplifting, and inspiring, it made me want to get out of bed and work for my career when I didn’t. Even if Keanu Reeves it’s a bit random and a great conductor overall, it’s a very well written documentary.

6)Schumacher: This one made me realise, how much of an influence media has in the public’s perception of a driver, and it’s just beautiful.

7)SENNA: I think this one explains how he’s more of a myth than a man in the sport, although I’ve never believed he’s the greatest, in this it’s possible to see why senna is senna , and it’s also, well, fucking sad.

8)The Team ‘93: Great way of seeing how the sport has changed and how mclaren is as much as a staple as ferrari, also great way of seeing Senna in his last year with the team. And young Mika!

9)One by one, the quick and the dead (1975) or Champions Forever?: it’s very nostalgic, and it makes you wonder how on earth is this sport still around after the early 70’s.

10) Williams (2017) : I mean after watching this, I thought, Mansell could’ve only won with a team that was made with so many tears and sweat. It’s true passion for racing

10.5: Rush: it’s a great way of getting to know the sport even if it isn’t a documentary! And I love it, because I remember watching it when I was 12!

I haven’t watched: weekend of a champion, 1: life on the limit or Red 5: Williams and Mansell

A worthy mention of DTS because it’s good background noise and I think that’s why haas fans exist (rip TP Guenther), but I hate when I get all excited when someone tells me they like f1, and then they tell me they don’t watch races or follow the current season and have only watched two seasons of dts. And they don’t even know who Niki Lauda is????

#f1 #formula 1 #classic f1 #my personal list #I’m just sick of losing the same piece of paper over and over

07: Wolfwood

Farewell, my friend.

Fitting, that we do not see Wolfwood here, but little Nicholas. Because in the end even though he was aged up and tortured, this child remained in him. This is his true self. The lost little boy that felt himself as a burden to all and that shouldered the responsibility of the wellbeing of the place he loved most. The lost little boy that cared too much in a world that cares too little. The morals of this little kid made Wolfwood the man he is today, through all the torture and everything, they persevered. This is the best of humanity.

Wolfwood has been an awkward idiot even in childhood. He cannot deal with open affection and becomes shy. It is sad and cute at the same time.

Is that a young Chapel? How much did he age in those six years? Damn!

The tricks the cult used to get children. It was a trap and it got Wolfwood. He left to become a tradesman… And a tradesman he did become, just not the kind of tradesman everyone imagined. Wolfwood was a great brother to many and they loved him.

Even if confetti is selfmade, we know they didn't have much ressources there. It surely was not cheap to produce it, even if it was selfmade.

How old does Wolfwood look there, maybe 10? Maybe even younger. The timeline is really not something we should look to close up. Nightow went by vibes, that’s all we need to know.

Like I said so often, the orphanage is Wolfwood’s paradise. The place where he was fed, could sleep and felt safe. He didn’t require anything more and that says much about his living situation beforehand. Much like Rem for Vash, it is an ideal for Wolfwood, a perfect place, something that has to be protected from the reality of the world. This ideal has been his saving grace. It made him survive not only Chapel and the torture, but it gave him reason to go on when his guilt became too much. If Wolfwood is truly devoted to something, it is this.

Wolfwood’s sorrowful eyes… He looks younger here. And softer. The softest Wolfwood we have ever seen. Close behind the Wolfwood that let down his guard the night before he brought Vash to the ark and they relaxed a last time together.

Even after all he did and all he accomplished, Wolfwood feels undeserving for any forgiveness or any welcome. If Chapel has achieved anything then it is that Wolfwood truly has no self love. Wolfwood was hypercritical with himself before the cult got his clutches around him, but I have no doubt that the things he went through have worsened his self worth massively.

He wants to be kept in memory as the innocent, but responsible, big brother Nico and not the bloodied gunman he has become. He wants to keep their innocence and the illusion that somewhere their beloved big brother is still out there. He wants to protect them one last time, this time from the grief that comes with his death.

But, Wolfwood is a complex character. If the kiddos knew, would they really go away that easily? Wouldn’t they try to make him come with them? Being either forced to watch Wolfwood die on the way to Home or having to see Wolfwood breaking down, because he cannot keep up the masquerade anymore. He cannot be vulnerable, especially not in his last moments.

I wish we would get more info, does Wolfwood chose to stay because he knows he would not get to the main ship for help/he knows that his body breaking apart is not treatable or has he ‘just’ given up. I think it is the first, I just wish for some hard facts. But neither of the two lovely calamities left are really able to talk directly about the elephant in the room. Vash is so desperate.

By not addressing that Wolfwood is actively dying, by trying to push Wolfwood to leave with the others, they both avoid one thing… The helplessness. This is Wolfwood’s choice, so it is okay, so it is bearable.

There is one really big headcannon that I have for the case that either Wolfwood decided to stay there even though there may have been a possibility to save Wolfwood or that Vash may have been able to heal Wolfwood with or without a cost of his lifespan, but Wolfwood denied either of it. And it boils down back to agency. Vash is so much about having none/giving others the full agency, that he cannot force Wolfwood to do something he either doesn’t have the energy to or doesn’t want to due to the cost. Not only is that one of Vash’ biggest modus operandi, reacting instead of acting, but here it is something more. It is about Wolfwood’s agency. By now it is absolutely clear that the only true choice Wolfwood had in his life was to die for the things he loved or lose himself. Vash cannot rob Wolfwood of his agency. Not when he finally regained some in his last moments. (That said, I do not judge any peeps who use Vash overriding Wolfwood’s wants and healing him or bringing him to safety. One of my most favourite breaks-my-heart-art piece is the one where Wolfwood awakes with golden hair on the couch, because Vash has given him all his life. And Vash sits lifeless next to him. I have so many feels about that one.(by popular request a link to the pic, damn had I dive deep into my bookmarks))

Neither of them really talk to each other. But from what they know of each other, it says more than words. Wolfwood, stressing that he is a gun-ho-gun, a killer, an assassin and a traitor to Vash, even seemingly proving it with the coins, Wolfwood wants to keep Vash from grieving. Vash does not need to grieve for Wolfwood. Wolfwood is a shitty person. There is no last-minute discussion to be made about it. Vash accepts the plea behind it. He disagrees with Wolfwood. But he helps Wolfwood to keep the illusion up that they aren’t that close, that Wolfwood doesn’t need to feel sorrow for leaving Vash, because their connection is not real. They both comfort each other by not talking about it.

Personally, I am so sad, that even in his death, Wolfwood is all about others, about lessening the pain that comes with it, that he cannot be vulnerable and just grieve his future. I am sad for Vash, too, but Vash will live on, for the better and worse.

That’s… Wolfwood had no goals for himself. He has always been the protector. He never imagined a future beyond that. He had his purpose and that has been fulfilled. Not completely, since Knives is still there, but he has done all he could. He has done what a human could do. And I understand that Wolfwood cannot regret his decision. It is too intrinsically intertwined with his identity and self-perception.

And again, Wolfwood cannot bear vulnerability. Neither can Vash. Which ends in this silly exchange. But, truly, if Vash didn’t react that way, I believe both would have broken down.

The last time? The last time was when Vash got drunk in the bar with the two outsiders and Wolfwood was persuaded by the nice granny to let his guard down and drink a glass, too. It was the talk where One-Eye stressed that “you’ll always end up alone and be alone.” Damn…

Birbs. Nicholas can finally enjoy his freedom. For a moment at least. For a moment he is free like a bird. The struggle is over. He is already dead. There is nothing to fight for him anymore.

It confused me. This sentence at the moment. Two possible interpretations for me: 1. Wolfwood still tries to fake more distance between them to make it hurt less and/or 2. Wolfwood truly wishes for a future for Vash in which he can smile with a full heart.

But even Wolfwood cannot hold the soft feelings in. Not all of Vash’ smiles were empty. Many smiles that Wolfwood saw and/or caused were real ones. I read this as Wolfwood trying to tell Vash that he knows that he was someone important to Vash. And now Vash cannot bear it. Because he is about to lose Wolfwood forever.

(What ruins the mood a bit for me is that I cannot not laugh at the funky pose of Wolfwood. He really was like: I am a twister!)

This is the first time I saw Brad in the background. He must think they are all crazy! He doesn’t know.

Wolfwood always had a home. They love him. They accept him as he is. They know that the bloodied man is their beloved big brother. Wolfwood can pass with the knowledge that he is accepted into paradise with bloodied hands and all.

Wolfwood cries. The man that so stoically had been in control of himself, that has been so incredibly avoidant of even an ounce of vulnerability, cries openly. Most likely for the first time in years. We have never seen him cry in the manga, we have seen him in shock, in despair, we have seen him shout out in pain, but he never cried.

And with that realisation… I cannot say how to interpret this scene. Comes the realisation of this love with a wave of grief because he cannot be with them, that he has no future to enjoy together, that he loves them and cannot tell them? Is it a last surge against the inevitable? A cry for mercy to the absent God? Does he wish to stay with Vash and his family?

And his bell tolls. Wolfwood has died.

I do not believe that Wolfwood would regret his choice. He fulfilled his life goal. He may regret leaving Vash, he may regret not having had a future or more time. But the one thing he can be sure of is that Vash will take over his burden and fight for their future. They are not defenseless. He can rest. For me, the smile does not mean he died happy or without any regrets. But he died not alone. And that is enough for him.

And Vash stays, again. Vash avoided any real connection to humans. Even those he called his family always felt artificial for me. Wolfwood was the first human since Rem that got under Vash' walls and got into his heart. And I truly believe that other than with Rem, with Wolfwood Vash sometimes wasn't aware of the for Vash so obvious difference between plants and humans.

Wolfwood’s death… My feelings are divided and are all over the place. It is handled with such care and the consequences of his death are felt so deeply through the narrative, to which I say more in a later volume. He wasn’t alone, he was with his best friend. He didn’t die in a fight, but out of it at a place he could choose. And even better, he got a very clear message that his family loves him, even if he cannot do it himself. It is one of the most peaceful deaths imaginable for this pained soul.

But at the same time, it is so unfair! Wolfwood sacrificed his whole life for the safety of innocents, he bloodied his hands again and again and endured so much and all he got was a death that wasn’t the worst. He got the knowledge that he is welcome home. He gets the knowledge that his loved ones are safe for now and that his friend will try his best to keep it that way. But he never gets to experience it truly. He never gets to enjoy the fruits of his labour. He didn’t want much. He didn’t even really dream of anything. But if he could have a place to rest, to eat and to be safe, he wouldn’t want more.

I think part of my reaction stems from me being from an individualistic society. We learn that you put the work in and receive your reward, that selfless behaviour gains you a reward. Look no further than the fairy tales that are used to teach Europeans like me morals, The Star Money is one that fits this idea. But Wolfwood as a person did not get a personal, selfish reward. He got death. And that makes it so painful. His death wasn’t for nothing, but his life feels so cut short. He just started the path of forgiving himself. He just realised that he wasn’t alone anymore. His development was not at an end. But what Nightow wanted to say with him in the story was. The difference between the narrative and the character. And that is upsetting, while still being completely okay.

Taking in consideration that Nightow comes from a collectivist society, I feel that the outcome that Wolfwood was able to save his home, his group, even at the cost of his life, is meaningful in a way I may not completely get. Wolfwood will live on, in the actions and life of the people he saved, he will live on in Livio, he will live on in Vash. But I see the abused kid that could not be saved. The abused kid that protected others because he wasn’t protected. That is the tragedy for me.

Maybe, adding to that, on a personal note, I am a Millennial. The world that was promised to me was built up on lies and is crumbling under the greed of a few people. But media says it is my generation's fault for *looks at today’s paper* eating avocado instead of diamonds. Parents being absent due to work, being alone and self reliant, maybe the oldest kid that has to take care of the siblings instead of the parents, those things were more a normal state than a rare occurrence, when I was young. With the wars, the crash from ‘08 and the shit that came after it, the existential dread is real and the hopelessness, too. I can only try to lessen the impact for the people who come after me and try my best to endure. And Wolfwood’s whole character vibes with my experience. And on this personal note, that the character who cared so much and tried so hard could not be saved… I want hope. I need hope. In this day and age more than ever.

08: Final Parting

What’s more to say? It is final. In spite of all of his powers, Vash was unable to save Wolfwood’s life, even though he was able to protect Wolfwood’s treasure and was a big part of Wolfwood freeing himself out of the cage that Chapel put him in. It’s just so damn tragic that after all he has been through, his freedom lies in the way he was able to part.

The denial, the looming panic and then Vash laying out the facts, short, precisely and with a deadpan face. This scene is just so... It hurts. Wolfwood's death is final. It drives it home.

There is not a small part in Vash that may despise Livio right now. It won’t keep. From Vash’ perspective, Wolfwood entrusted Livio and the whole orphanage to him, the future as a whole, but especially the future of his loved ones.

Razlo has been a brat, but Livio seems also extremely young. I do not think he ever truly believed Wolfwood would truly die and only now he starts to understand how much Wolfwood sacrificed to get Livio out of Chapel’s claws.

Vash not only protected Wolfwood’s body and Livio’s life, he protected the whole orphanage. Vash protected Wolfwood’s paradise from Knives’ laser.

And by reflecting Knives’ power back to their source, Vash declares war.

How does Knives do it? He is further and further gone the longer the story goes.

But not only that, what must that mean to Knives? His brother uses his so important lifeforce to not only spite Knives, he does it for the human Knives has sent out to betray Vash. This human has been somehow able to become more important to Vash than not only his life, but also his brother. A massive middle finger right in his face. And the worst part of it, Wolfwood is already dead. He cannot even take revenge upon him. Remember the two-face panel of Knives when he cause the fall? He drew blood with his thumbs over the left side of his face, the first panel here resembles this from the pose. Kinda as if Knives does his last step to complete and utter madness.

We know that Wolfwood came from a place of scarcity. Food is his love language or one of them. So it's fitting that both of the boys have memories with Wolfwood regarding this. Not only that, the memories shown are either the first meeting or the start of their journey together. Vash makes the food that Rem has made him and food that reminds him of Wolfwood.

I learned that food can be an important part of grief. You need to keep yourself fed and grief can be easily so overpowering that you cannot do it. But they must keep going on. So they eat.

The fucking third vial! You were a red herring for Wolfwood’s survival, a false counter. I despise you!

And this is a peace offering from Vash. I still believe that Vash is incredibly angry, but he understands why Livio was in that place. Remember Wolfwood, remember the man that was everything to me and that gave everything for you.

Wolfwood’s burden made him the man he was. It is just a fact.

And now it is Vash' burden. Vash takes over for Wolfwood and keeps going where Wolfwood couldn't. What a sad situation. When the only thing that binds you to your lost friend is the burden that he carried and that killed him in the end.

Abarth 1300OT Periscopica Coupé

In 1958, the American Chrysler Corporation pursued an entry into the European motor manufacturing market by buying 15 per cent of the French Simca company's stock from Ford. At that time, however, the dominant shareholder remained Fiat of Turin, and their influence remained distinctively apparent in the engineering and design of Simca cars for several years into the early 1960s. However, in 1963 Chrysler increased its Simca stake to a controlling 64 per cent by purchasing stock from Fiat, subsequently extending that holding to 77 per cent.

Chrysler had no interest in any continuation of the previously successful Simca Abarth and Abarth Simca high-performance car collaboration, which came to a juddering halt. In Turin Carlo Abarth found himself left more or less high and dry, but the supply of basically Simca 1000 chassis floor pans, upon which the sleek and superfast Abarth Simca 1600s and 2000s had been based, left quite a number in stock, as yet unused. The popular legend is that it was upon these unused Simca platforms that Abarth then founded his 1300cc class Gran Turismo design for 1965 – the OT 1300. Abarth's technical team under Mario Colucci had developed a boxed pressed-steel chassis structure on the modified Simca 1000 floor pan to which allindependent suspension was attached with componentry drawn from the Fiat 850 shelves. The Abarth OT 1300 then emerged, to race for the first time as a prototype in the September, 1965, Nurburgring 500-Kilometre classic.

Driver Klaus Steinmetz hammered the new Coupé home to a fine third-place finish overall and the OT 1300 was up and running into the record books, becoming one of the most successful – and also one of the most distinctive – models that Abarth & C ever produced. The OT 1300's rear-mounted all-Abarth engine was overhung – in best Carlo Abarth-approved style. It was a 4-cylinder unit with twin overhead camshaft cylinder head, using a block with cylinder bore and stroke dimensions of 86mm x 55.5mm to displace 1289cc.

With two valves per cylinder and a 10.5:1 compression ratio, the engine breathed through two twin-choke Weber 45DCOE9 carburettors. Ignition was by two plugs per cylinder, fired by single distributor. Dry-sump lubrication was adopted and the power unit produced a reliable 147bhp at 8,800rpm. This lusty engine, perfected by Abarth's power-unit specialist Luciano Fochi with five main-bearing crankshaft, drove via a five-speed and reverse Abarth transaxle.

Wheelbase length of the OT 1300 was nominally 2015mm, front track 1296mm and rear track 1340mm. It featured moulded glassfibre clamshell-style opening front and rear body sections moulded by Sibona & Basano in Turin, and this pert-nosed Coupé became a familiar sight dominating its class for three consecutive years. Production of the OT 1300 began on May 15 1966 and ended on March 30, 1966, by which time the minimum production number of 50 required by the FIA for homologation as a Gran Turismo model had (allegedly) been achieved. The most distinctive single characteristic of the OT 1300 Coupé, apart from its huge International success within its class, was its adoption of the Periscopica air-cooling intake on the rear of the cabin roof. Casual onlookers would assume that the periscopelike intake fed intake air into the rear-mounted engine, but this is absolutely not the case. Instead, the water and oil-cooling pipe runs through the cockpit area heated-up the cabin to what was generally considered to be an unacceptable level for endurance racing, and the periscope intake merely blasted cold air down into the cabin to cool the driver himself...

From the OT 1300 Mario Colucci developed the OT 2000 Coupé using the 1946cc 4-cylinder power unit perfected by his colleague Luciano Fochi and with some 215bhp at 7,600rpm that largerengined model was capable of exceeding 165mph in a straight line. In fact all these Abarths with their sleek aerodynamic bodies and light weight really were exceedingly rapid by the standards of the time and within their respective capacity classes.

Mini Chicken Pot Pies Muffins

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, diced

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans), thawed

1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 refrigerated pie crusts

Cooking spray

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

Mixing the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine diced chicken, mixed vegetables, condensed cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Crusts: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out circles of dough slightly larger than the muffin tin openings.

Assemble the Pot Pies: Press each dough circle into the greased muffin tin, allowing some overhang around the edges. Spoon the chicken mixture into each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top.

Seal and Vent: Fold the overhanging dough over the filling, crimping the edges to seal the pot pies. Cut a small slit in the top of each pot pie to allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the mini chicken pot pies from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful mini chicken pot pies muffins!

[TRIVIA]

The Prince of Tennis 10.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 11/02/2001

Although he’s lived in the USA, he still prefers Japanese food and isn’t fond of Western food

People tend to be aggravated by him due to his abrasive personality, but he means no ill-intent by it

He gained his arrogant and abrasive personality from growing up in the USA

He will speak his mind regardless of how it sounds as he believes it’s a way of being kind

His first name is written in katakana rather than kanji. It’s alluded that it may be due to his mother being another nationality besides Japanese

Konomi had Ryoma wear a hat since he thought it was cool, and wanted people to associate his FILA hat with him

He is called “Shorty” by Kikumaru but does not mind it since he states height doesn’t matter in tennis

He likes grape-flavored Fanta/Ponta

He keeps everything he needs for school in his tennis bag, hence why he gets confused when some items are still in it

His personality is described as pessimistic, but shy, gentle and always striving for improvement

Konomi originally did not intend for him to be the protagonist. The role was originally going to be given to Kintarou, with Ryoma being his rival. He initially thought Ryoma would be difficult to portray as a protagonist, be better as a sub character and that making him the protagonist would dampen the mood of the series. He eventually decided on Ryoma and built the other characters around him

Konomi describes him as a “bad guy,” and that him defeating people who are even worse is a focal point of the series

The Prince of Tennis 20.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2003

He is described to easily get engaged in a single subject and then excel in that area

When he concentrates, he will become so absorbed in what he’s doing that he will not pay attention to his surroundings

He is described to be suited for professions that require special skills, such as a pilot or astronaut

He is very susceptible to change and has an insatiable desire to become stronger

One of his favorite subjects is chemistry since the science behind the substances changing, combining and gaining different properties reminds him of tennis

He does not remember when he started playing tennis, and states he thinks he’s been playing it since he was born

His secondary sport would be soccer

The Prince of Tennis 40.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2007

He is described to be sociable and lively, but doesn’t get too involved in his personal relationships and tends to be reserved

His friends and schoolmates often visited his house when he lived in the USA

He did not know what “Old Maid” was until he played it at the joint training camp with Rokkaku

In Genius 305, when he had won his match against Atobe and everyone huddled around him, someone had quietly handed him the shaver, but it’s a mystery on who it was

He wants to win all four major world tennis championships

When asked what kind of plant or animal he is like, he replies with a cat since they’re free-spirited

When asked what his current goals are, he replies that he wants to fight more stronger opponents and win against them

He is named after Ooka Echizen, also known as Ooka Tadasuke

Konomi came up with his “Selfless State” technique since he wanted to write a story where the main character’s dormant power would awaken when faced against an unbeatable enemy. And since Ryoma was a returnee, he had him speak in English to surprise the audience and give his scenes a fantasy-like feel

Konomi corrects his statement that Ryoma didn’t win national USA junior tournaments four years in a row, he had meant that when Ryoma started tennis, he had competed and won in regular USA junior tournaments four times in a row

Konomi states he has tried drawing Ryoma more mature as the series progresses and draws Ryoma’s shoes and racket bigger to make him appear smaller
