It's his day to join the Hades AU! Happy Cody Day!!
""This weapon is your life" is what my general often said to lecture his old padawan during the war, and yet he constantly lost his. The lightsaber and his cloak... The things might be cursed. Not as much as yours, though."
"Please keep that thing far away from my kid."
Rex from down the hall: "Stop trolling the shiny as a way to cope, Cody!"
Cody: "I have nothing to cope with, this is just for fun. The Darksaber is definitely cursed and you know it."
Rex: "Oh yeah, it definitely is. Sorry kid."
Din is still trying to figure out how he counts as a "shiny" here
Backgrounds, as per usual, are screenshots from my latest attempts at a run in the Hades game. All I can do is add more pocket characters, I'm not gonna redraw the whole set TT^TT (but look, Din is holding a handful of green and brown pixels now!)

Bookclub Round 2!
Hello and welcome! This is an online bookclub dedicated to reading through the Trigun manga series (which is Trigun, followed by Trigun Maximum). This time around, we'll be reading one omnibus volume about every month to celebrate the Dark Horse deluxe editions releasing! You don't have to read that version, @trigun-manga-overhaul is a fantastic fan translation project, and a great alternative! (Though please, if you can, support Nightow and the official releases!) All official images used in promotion of this event are from Overhaul.

Guidelines and Info
Have fun! This isn’t meant to add more pressure or stress to your life, just to have fun reading a widely beloved manga <3
First-time readers and re-readers are both welcome!
Post your thoughts/theories/questions/graphics/edits/memes/etc. to the #TrigunBookclub tag on Tumblr, Twitter, or Bsky to participate with your fellow fans!
If you post spoilers for future volumes, please use the tag #TrigunBookclubSpoilers to help new fans enjoy reading along with the community.
Nightow’s artwork is beautiful, but sometimes readers find the action/dialogue a bit hard to follow. Feel free to ask for help deciphering things!
While the manga is a brilliant story, it covers very dark themes. They are spoilers, but if you trigger warnings, there is a Does the Dog Die page for the manga. There’s also a chapter-by-chapter TW list on Tumblr.
If you fall behind or come in late, no worries! Feel free to hop in at your leisure, just know the main tag will have spoilers for the current volume.
Supporting Dark Horse and Nightow is highly encouraged, but if you're looking for a place to read because you don't have a deluxe edition/want to read online with a different translation, check out @trigun-manga-overhaul!
Be kind to others! This is supposed to be a fun experience for a franchise that a lot of us love or are interested in. Harassment will not be tolerated.
And that's all for now! Follow this blog for updates, and I hope you have a great time if you decide to join!

One of the neat things about demon flirting versus human flirting is the opportunity for jealousy. Weird jealousy.
Bill complains to Dipper about a lot of things. How his day was going. About any plans that were foiled, if any. How dumb other beings are. But if, say, Bill started going on about this one real pest he's had hanging around lately, and how they're so irritating and getting in his way...
It is said that husbands gain a sixth sense upon becoming married. In Bill's case, it was actually his thirteenth - but when he notices Dipper’s gone oddly quiet, he hears the alarm bells ringing.
Oh, so this person, huh. Really irritating, Bill says. A thorn in his side, maybe? How annoying, exactly? Now Bill’s sweating as Dipper’s own annoyance rises. What, are they, like a new *nemesis* or something?
Now Bill’s on damage control duty as he reassures Dipper - entirely truthfully! - that he’s soooo infuriating and definitely the Worst Thing that's ever happened to him.

Hi Why did cere say, “Trilla” when she died?
If you haven't played Fallen Order, Trilla is Cere's previous padawan. So in her final moments, she thinks of her two students. I won't go into more detail if you haven't played the first game (definitely recommend it!) buuuuttttt now I'm thinking about this scene again.
-
Cere, defeated by Vader and lying alone in her burning archive, knows the contact codes are safe. She gave her family enough time to escape - enough time to preserve what's left of the Path. The Dark Shadow came and she was no longer afraid.
Cal once asked about her relationship with the Force. "The truth is that I'm still struggling," she had answered. "Everyday brings its own test. But when I feel weak, I can think of you and Trilla and remember: I still have the choice to do better. And that gives me strength."
Cal would eventually find her, his psychometry a posthumous witness to these final breaths. The Force wraps around Cere's fading body and she feels, if just for a moment, that Cal has already arrived. She sees his wrecked, grief-stricken face and blaster-stained shoulder. She says his name. There's so much she wants to tell him.
The Force calls to her and now Trilla is there, sweet Trilla, offering her hand the same way Cere had once offered to her. She no longer hears the fire, no longer senses her fatal wound. A tear falls onto Cere's cheek as she takes the outstretched hand.
"It's a new path for all of us."
