Current hyper specific plotline in my head:
Specific brand of equipment that everyone in a specific field bought because it was “top of the line” turns out to be faulty and all end up causing fires of varying sizes
Because of the fires, all these people who work with this specific plant have lost theirs, and now everyone thinks the plant is extinct
After a little bit of time has passed, one character (a Vulcan) remembers their Human friend, who also owns a plant of that species, declining to get that equipment from that brand because of a “gut feeling”
They know this friend loses track of time easily and can go months without speaking to another person because they don’t realize how long it’s been, so it’s likely their Human friend has no idea that all these fires even happened and it’s very likely that their plant is still in perfect health
So they go over for a visit and find out that not only is their plant still perfectly healthy, but they also have other healthy plants of the same species that they have no problem sharing with their friend
The Vulcan is so overwhelmed that this specific (Vulcan) plant isn’t actually extinct and that their friend gave them some without a second thought that they actually hug them…which causes a loud cracking noise and their friend being like “Vulcan affection is dangerous”
But hey, they’re gonna accept their friend’s affection as long as they’re willing to give it, so they just hug them back tightly and ignore the fact that it feels like they can’t breathe
(Also that Vulcan is never gonna badmouth “gut feelings” again)

I love that one of the roles fire plays in this series is to represent how all consuming desire can be, and how it’s framed as something that can be world ending when uncontrolled.
So naming unnatural, untamable green fire ‘wildfire’ is therefore a stroke of genius. It’s the representation of how we humans manufacture our own doom in the pursuit power, of how uncontrolled desire will eventually blow up in our faces.
And the fact that barrels and barrels of it sit fermenting under Kings Landing, Westeros’s breeding ground of maniac desire, and the capital the ambitious and corrupt flock to for what it promises? It’s perfection!

You know something that still makes me laugh about Trigun 98?
There’s that scene where Knives and Vash face each other, before the final episode, and Vash shoots him in the thigh, right? And Knives just...absolutely loses his shit! Screaming and horrified and losing his damn mind because wtf, it hurts! Why does it fucking hurt so much??? Vash actually shot him??? HOW COULD VASH SHOOT HIM??? AND WHY DOES IT HURT. SO. MUCH????????
Like. I know it’s supposed to be a really interesting look into this character who is having a strangely childlike, horrified reaction to something that he should have been prepared to deal with. This is a grown man throwing a hissy fit like a toddler over something he instigated, and he’s so disconnected from reality that he just cannot process what the fuck is happening! It’s a really fascinating way of showing some of the ways that Knives is just not right in the head.
But I still cannot help but laugh at it, because Dude. You got shot once. One. Single. Time. In the thigh. And you are being a bubble-blowing baby about it!
Do you have any idea how much shit you’ve put your brother through? Do you know how many times he’s been shot and maimed and brutalized because of you??? He looks like he got into a fight with a wood-chipper and lost because of your bullshit! You are such a fucking hypocrite, dude, grow the fuck up! Like Holy Shit, Knives, wow!
