Vash getting his replacement outfit and arm in season two will hit differently thanks to his relationship with Luida and Brad.

In OG continuity, the people of Home have known Vash for generations. He's this immortal, unkillable figure who can shrug off getting nuked. In Tristamp, these people raised Vash. Luida and Brad don't know he survived Lost July, they can only hope their son is alive and will find his way home. Two years spent sewing a new coat and building a new prosthetic without proof that Vash would receive them.

@tristampparty Anniversary Day 9: Brad & Luida

Proper Plant Care

Silly thing from twitter a while back

[wrathyforest]

@avelin3​ and I came up with office au! So here’s some brief moments:

 Vash works for Luida's company with Meryl and Millie (we still cannot decide on the name of the company).

 Knives, the director of a competing company ("Knives&Guns"), wanted to work with Vash together, but after Vash refused they quarreled and Knives established his own company with blackjack and Legato.

Therefore, Knives sent Wolfwood as a spy to lure Vash back. As a result,  Vashwoods become Vashwoods, and Wolfwood decided to stay in the company with Vash and score on Knives. 

Wolfwood with his chest wide open (and for endless cooing) is eventually kicked out of the company, but he regularly picks up Vash after workday.

 Since the plan with Nick failed, Livio is sent to the company, and Livio becomes not only a good employee, but also a bouncer (thanks, Razlo) when necessary! (Also, it was like Livio just went out for a coffee and when he came back there are already been a marriage, dismissal, three fights, completed quarterly plan and an order has been prepared to send Livio on a business trip lol).

All the main work is done by girls, MVP of the company. Meryl is in perpetual stress. Elendira works for Knives and she is the best specialist in the world. 

So here we go :D

I sat my ass down and put some meta thoughts into word that have been swirling in my head for ages for @tristampparty day 9 Brad and luida

Because i wont be finishing the planned story on time, soo

Brad, Luida and ship three went in completely blind when it came to how to handle vash being an independent pant. They had nothing to go off on and as far as they knew, independents were a theoretical possibility but vash was the first one they encountered (not even luida had the clearance to see anything that could contain mentions of tesla). Vash isn’t really human but he isn’t like a dependent plant either.

I made a post about how that regarding how vash initially seemed to go through a human lifecycle a lot faster, until they realized he just stopped aging at a certain point.

The other thing I wonder is, do brad, luida and at least some of the others know about tesla?

The answer is, im sure it will never come up in canon. And I guess people are inclined to say, no way would vash ever open up to anyone about it.

But I think brad and luida know. Not much. Maybe just that there was an independent before them and she had died from the experiments done on her. Just these two things is all vash ever said.

Because see, in stampede vash came to ship three when he was still very small. It became his home, he actually bonded with all these people, they are like family. And he was still very young when the traumatic loss of his arm happened.

It changes the dynamic between him and these people a lot compared to trimax and 98.

Vash doesn’t have a regular prosthesis but a cybernetic one (or three if you like me follow the hc that his legs are prosthesis as well). also there is metal and hardware (?) on his chest and stuff. But even

My point is, those aren’t things he got from patching himself up or went through shabby surgery in a back alley or something of no man’s land.

 Initial surgery when luida brought him back aside, that must have been ‘experimented’ with vash to some degree because they knew nothing. Can he get sick? How does he response to medicine, to painkillers? To anesthetics? Vash bleeds but does he have bloodtypes like a human? What are they supposed to do when he lost his arm? Give him a bloodtransfusion like they would with a human and hope his body wont reject it? Throw him in a plant tank and hope that the plants can do for him what he does for them?

And even if they were kind and patient and understanding and reassuring about it, there must have been so many moments where it was literally just trial and error because they simply had nothing to go on. It must have been so scary for vash.

But especially with his arm (and possibly his legs). It’s an cybernetic arm. There are cables and shit directly connected to his body. It’s not a regular stump he has, it’s a port, its hardware embedded in his flesh.

And surgeries are scary, especially for kids. Its normal to be afraid of them. But vash must have been beyond terrified by the mention of it. Far, far more so than could be reasonably explained as a normal reaction. So I think vash told them because he was too terrified, too afraid, didn’t know what else to do or say. A hysteric outburst more likely than calm communication.

(“There was an independent before us. They experimented on her. She’s dead.”)

It was terribly for everyone involved.

But, like even if vash didn’t tell them.

At some point, he made the conscious and active decision to trust this people so unconditionally. Despite his rocky start with them and what had transpired with the blackbox, they could reassure vash that he was save and no one would do him any harm.

Vsh trusted them enough to let them put him under, take a scalpel to him, change his body irrecoverably but he would come out of it alright, wouldn’t endure any unnecessary pain by their hand.

Like, if you think about it like that, after the horror of what happened to tesla that shaped him and nai so much, vash found it in himself to trust these people with what then and possibly still might be his biggest trauma. And like rem had promised, he didn’t end like his sister
