[nutamused]

Some htf dynamics that I think are very sillay

Warning: mostly just rambles lol

Handy and toothy- THEY TOTALLY HAVE A SIBLING DYNAMIC!! I don’t think they’re actually related, but I think they just act like siblings and get along well despite their differences. Toothy would be like the younger brother and handy is older, and toothy would probably just be annoying asf to handy and handy just deals with it. Toothy also probably goes to handy for advice, and handy doesn’t rly care so he just says some bs so toothy can leave him alone

Flippy and lammy- I think these two silly heads would be sweet friends, and both also connect cause of their mental illnesses. I haven’t gone too into it, but I think lammy would be the “less stable” one of the two cause she’s younger and doesn’t rly know how to deal with her issues like flippy does. Flippy would try to help Lammy sometimes, and they would have tea together. I’d like to think that he tells her about his past, as she’s one of the younger tree friends who could actually understand his problems.

Toothy and sniffles- they are nerd loser besties!! They would totally geek over nerd stuff like those Splendid comics and anime or smthing else nerdy. Even tho they’re both nerds, toothy is the bigger loser cause he’s more of a wimp and just kind of a pushover (I’m trying to give him SOMEWHAT of a personality 😭), while sniffles doesn’t take shit and and be a bitch (also they are lovers, you can’t convince me otherwise ☺️)

Lammy and handy- they have a “normal person and crazy ass person” dynamic. I headcanon that it’s still pretty ambiguous whether lammy actually murders people or not, but she still helps with hiding bodies and cleaning up the messes that Mr. Pickels makes. Lammy usually tries to kill off anyone who catches her and Mr pickels cause she doesn’t want to go back to jail, but she trusts handy cause he just doesn’t care. He doesn’t mind lammy or Mr Pickels killing anyone, just as long as it doesn’t get in the way of his work. He is kinda put off by her creepy demeanor, but still tries his best to be respectful to her

Russell and cuddles- ENEMIES TO LOVERS!! I find it funny that many people put them against each other cause they both want giggles, but I wanna put a spin on that and make it so that they want EACHOTHER. (Also I hc giggles is a lesbian so she doesn’t give a shit abt them) Cuddles and Russell first act like they hate each other cause they both dated giggles, but secretly they want each other but are both too dumb to realize it. (Toothy and lumpy are the only ones that know abt it, but both cuddles and Russell are too dumb to listen to them)

That’s all I can think of for now but I will def have more later

[papakhan]

Lol why would someone even say that. Like... idk im transmasc im personally mortified of the idea of getting pregnant but... its none of my business if another man wants to be pregnant why would there be any judgement there 😭😭😭 plus the post was very funny people need to stop projecting over a sillay little post. Have a good night king the haters dont get it

the thing is I totally understand trans guys being uncomfortable with the concept of (trans) men getting pregnant. In our society its a very gendered concept, it gets fetishised by weirdos online all the time and to a lot of (especially queer) afab people its strongly associated with control and abuse. I totally get it. That was me not so long ago but after a lot of research I became more comfortable with it because I want to have children one day. I shouldn't have to expose this part of myself as a defence against people calling me transphobic when I am literally trans and half the fight for trans people is "my body my choice"

what gets me is that the tumblr fallout community gets in this fucking argument allll the fucking time over whether the fallout universe should be "dark and gritty and ~realistic~" in regards to Everyone being transphobic Or if the wasteland should be some kind of trans haven without the binds of society. I personally lean on the latter and get a lot of comfort out of the idea that the Great Khans specifically are a bastion of trans joy and experience and to them women having dicks and men giving birth is just. normal.

the end goal for trans people should be to de-gender concepts like pregnancy and penis but we're never gonna fucking get anywhere if trans people project their dysphoria onto each other and start self-flagellating themselves whenever someone steps out of line or makes a stupid joke.

And yeah this is an overreaction to someone critising a stupid post of mine but I'm more mad at the wider culture of the fallout community (and tumblr) regarding this topic because like I said shit like this keeps happening. part of my job is about educating people about trans bodies and saying shit like "don't assume who can and can't get pregnant" and trying to help fellow trans people find comfort in a country that's actively trying to get them all murdered. To then log onto tumblr dot com and get called transphobic because I said I love headcanoning Papa as trans and him being able to deflect the Legion's misogyny because of his transness is like a slap to the face. you guys are meant to be the transgender love website what the fuck are you talking about?? Also Saying that I'm enabling transphobia by allowing people who arent trans men to reblog my post is also stupid and for the record most people in my notes right now are either trans people who are genuinely agreeing that Papa is trans or ghost fans who think I'm talking about their band (but are still trans and still agreeing).

sure maybe I should have put a trigger warning on the post or something because it might trigger someone's dyphoria, but just say that. Don't act like I'm the problem and that I'm too stupid to recognise internalised transphobia and calling me "too comfortable with joking about trans bodies" when 1. I wasn't joking About trans bodies and 2. ITS MY FUCKING BODY

My joke was about how Caesar cant handle Papa being trans. it was a joke about how society cant handle trans people who they can't clock. it was also a joke about how Papa comes from a society where transness is so normalised that he wrongfully assumes that its something everyone can do. At no point was I "nasty about trans bodies" like this person claims I was. In fact I think that pretending that I was says more about how they view trans bodies than it does about how I do, That I can mention trans pregnancy and they automatically assume I'm fetishing or being disrespectful.

anyway. that's a lot of shit. thanks for letting me ramble and tucking me into bed so sweetly <3

Round 4/Semi-final Poll:

Pictures and propaganda are under the cut!

Peter Sqloint (Apotheosis)

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HIS BIG BROWN AUTISTIC EYES. LOOK AT HIM SILLY LITTLE EXISTENCE. HE LITERALLY IS THE "me and the bitch I pulled by being autistic" WITH RUMI. HE IS SO SILLY

His special interest is rocks, he named his pet lizard lizard, he pulled quite possibly THE BADDEST bitch…like?!

I mean just look at him, he’s just a little goober and like yippee as hell

listen. listen. listen. there is no other character more autistic than peter sqloint. his special interest is rocks and lizards. he used unfathomable otherworldly power to duplicate his lizard. half the campaign was spent talking about rocks and trying to find a good log for his lizard. he is the most autistic autist and i’ve ever seen in my life. he canonically has trouble maintaining eye contact and making eye contact in general. listen to me. he is autism incarnate. i would die for him

have you seen his rock collection? or his missing of social cues and norms? and also the fact he is a charlie slimecicle character? literally nobody more autism than him

Have you seen him? He is the definition of the meme “me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic”

Dakota Cole (Prime Defenders)

ITS DAKOTA !!!!!! HIS WHOLE THING IS NOT GETTING SOCIAL QUEUES AND BEING LOUD AND JUMPING INTO THINGS HEADFIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE !!!!! HES THE AUTISM BITCH !!!!!! AND HES SO SWAGFUL !!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS A SKATEBOARD AND HIS HERO SUIT HAS HIS MIDDIFF EXPOSED !!!!! HES THE SILLIEST !!! EVER !!!!!!!! PLEASE LET MY GUY WIN. PLEAAASSSSEEEEEEEE. I KNNNOOOOOWOWWWWWWW SOME MOTHERFUCKER FROM RIPTIDE IS GONNA HAVE LEAGUES OF PEOPLE CAMPAINING FOR THEM BUT LIKE !!!!!!!!! DAKOTA !!!!!!!!! CMOOONNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! slash sillay

Canon(?), from what I know hes based off one of Grizz's autistic cousins. He literally got overstimulated and stimmed with his bongos season 2 episode 1. Just generally gets overstimulated all the time. Stims, literally stims all the time. Hes said "yipee" before when he was happy. He literally eats like 2 foods (beef stroganoff and pizza). Hes so silly and is literally me and Im autistic so.

Literally just a guy! Sensory issues, Special Interest (Super-Heros), Cant Understand Emotions/Change/Social Ques, High Energy, He Literally Yippied Once

sensory issues (headphones to block sound, sunglasses to block light. takes time to calm down), he has red hair, he is somehow the most sensitive prime defender while being almost vyncent levels of oblivious. very set on his routines (s1, training every morning consistently), he just has that swag about him have you seen him

Wears headphones in season two because otherwise he gets overstimulated and goes into a feral state

every prime defender is autistic send tweet

He is me fr fr. He has noise cancelling headphones that he has to put on to not get overwhelmed. He's got so much autism, he doesn't. On a scale of not autistic to autistic, he's God.

Grizz said that he based him of an autistic relative. He has cannon sensory issues and other traits

Uh the fact that Griz is portraying some of Dakota's personality based off an autistic family member. He has noise cancelling headphones if he gets overwhelmed/overstimulated. THERES SO MUCH I COULD GO ON

[penofwildfire]

for ship bingo thingy. only toxic ships because I'm a fuckin menace 😌😇

Killjoy (Pythor x Overlord)

Claw (Ras x Rapton)

Cinderas (Cinder x Ras) (i want to think of a better ship name, but this'll do for now)

disclaimer for the internets : enjoying a toxic dynamic in fiction isn't the same as endorsing that dynamic irl

Killjoy: So so sillay. Probably a lot of bickering involved. Also Pythor ate him which is. Something. Overall not one I think about often but certainly a fun one!

Claw: Again with the bickering lol. I think Rapton would annoy him a lot and then they'd make out. Very sillay. Good concept.

I don't know much about Cinder yet (only know he exists cuz @nyaskitten keeps posting about him) so I'll probably update my opinion later but I think they deserve it. Fun ideas all around.

Also I totally understand shipping toxic dynamics lol. No judgement from me 👍

Thanks for the ask!!

(ship asks still open, get em in while you can!)

[navysealt4t]

Hello mutual-in-law (we share a common mutual). Tell me about navyseal.

NAVYSEA L . HEAD IN HANDS <333 shaking u shaking u they make me so ill . idk how famillar u are with jrwi but like. both gillion and jay were trained to be weapons. more literally on gill's side. he's the chosen one, he's the undersea's hero, he was given armor too big and a sword too heavy before he even grew into his stature. he was trained to think humans were evil and that when the time came, he would act out the prophecy and save the undersea.

and JAY ! jay was raised in a military family her only future was too become a great general like her father thats all shes ever known. thats just who she was meant to be. and then her older sister, her great sister who was strong and powerful and unbreakable, is killed by pirates they say and jay cant do anything else but avenge her. she trains and acts as a spy with one goal.

and and through chip they find a family. they find family and love and understanding and THEYRE JUST SO SIMILAR . GOD. gill was trained to hate humans and jay was trained to hate pirates, anyone who opposed the NAVY, but all this love and freedom is coming from what theyre supposed to hate. and they learn together how many lies they were fed and how wrong things are and how they've done and supported horrible things

and they don't judge each other. they understand. they love the version of the other that's in front of them ... like like the best way to fucking describe it is "i will not ask you where you came from i will not ask and neither should you" from like real people do BECAUSE THATS LITERALLY THEM. like ohhh my god . head in hands. and theyre growing together, not just for themself but for each other. and the devotion theres so much unconditional love and understanding . theyve been through so much together like . man. man. they are so silly together but they're so in love it makes me SICK !!!!!! <- enjoying this. but its so sillay jay will literally have a pivotal moment in her character arc where she shoots gillion and knocks him to 0hp and like 15 episodes later gill will be convincing her to shoot a bullet at him so he can cut it in half i love them

also they r transfem t4t god told me so <3

[codecicle]

whats your problem dude why are you so weird :3

im love posting now to fuck with you.

you thought this was gonna be a sneak attack but it isn't dumbass‼️ everyone point and laugh

i love you man and I mean that I love staying up texting you and altering my whole entire sleep schedule to fit yours i love getting random shit sent to me during the day and seeing your texts or asks in my notifs i love seeing your music taste and everything that comes with it i love hearing about your day and making inside jokes and bits between us that permanently change my vocabulary (ZIPPEE ^_^ sillay :3 and that dreaded Keyboard) I love being the only person who can understand what you've typed because you can't spell for shit but I also love being able to tell when you've gotten used to the keyboard your using because difficult words aren't misspelt like they normally are I love calling you in vc until your phone shuts off and playing baby sensory subway surfers videos with slimecicle gifs so you and your friends pay attention to my "very important" (no it's NOT LMAOOOO) tetris/papa's freezeria/minecraft gameplay that I always have screensharing in the background of the call. I love our shitty little minecraft world and our suicide hole (and stripper pole that Kai doesnt know about please keep it that way or we will never hear the end of it) and your inability to stay alive and our little back to back like a movie fighting and I love that one time I watched a mlp movie (which I have to do again. Btw) for you because you watched Be More Chill for me and we both ending up loving them both and I love our matching phone stickers we have that are torn to shreads and dirty as hell now but they USED to read "#1 ashton swagaythor fan" + "BOYF" with mine matching to read "#1 felix elliot 'is' fruity fan" + "REINDS" and I love how you use all of my pronouns even the unconventional ones (IT/ITS MY FAVORITE FOREVER AND EVERRR MAN) ((not really)) and how you explained how to use certain neopronouns to me without judging me at all and your little d20 rolls in the mornings to decide on what pronouns you're going to use for the day (today was he/they/she btw ^_^) and I love all of your dnd characters and/or ocs that you've shown me and explained the lore of (the dnd one that uses he/she is my favorite btw. the others are neat and all but he's my favorite by a long shot the others can't even touch her dude) and i love your amazing sense of fashion and outfit checks you'll send that just get better each time you do and I love your hair and your glasses (even though I felt VERY betrayed to find out they weren't circular irl how could you slash sillay) and every little detail on how you look and act and im so serious. i love your love of gillion titstrider and seeing you talk about jrwi AND HOW YOU STILLL HAVENT CAUGHT UP YET BUT THATS FINE SMH SMH and seeing you ramble about the play you're currently doing in our texts rn dear god those are lyrics and i love them

anyway point is i love you so much and i hope you have a wonderful rest of your night after reading this o/

[crimeboys]

one hc i have for rust!crimeboys that has no real basis in canon and is just kind of sillay is they were either 1. experimented on (plays into my thoughts on how they met) or 2. really fucked up from the radiation and are able to communicate like telepathically bc of how they’re always in their own little vc talking to each other at the same time as they’re with others on the proximity chat so they can still have their little secrets and such. and it used to be they struggled like. keeping themselves out of each others heads and keeping their own thoughts locked out of the others sight but they’ve had it so long they know how to keep their thoughts out of the other’s head a lot better, but keeping the other’s thoughts out of theirs is still an issue so for example sometimes when wilbur is being especially bossy and bitchy tommy will both think And sing the wii shop theme at him and it really is a testament to how much wilbur cares about him that he has not murdered him badly. and when tommy is being especially annoying and murdery and fucking up their plans, wilbur will make him endure a “heartfelt” lecture out loud for everyone else to hear but the thoughts of “ANNOYING CHILD WITH NO THOUGHTS WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW ANYTHING WORKS YES I’M EMBARRASSING YOU IN FRONT OF OUR ENEMIES YOU’VE GONE AND PISSED ME OFF”

[animation-is-my-jam]

What are your favorite ships? What are your favorite headcanons? Ramble on, please do. What are your hot takes?

Thank you for the ask (^w^) AW I appreciate it!

Favorite ships?

Well my two favorite ones are on my header and looking through my art it's pretty easy to tell 💀 so yeah it's Tjohnson and Tobecky, however there are other ships I do consider favs, like Doctor Two-brains x Professor Tubing, Victoria x Rose, and Chuck/Whammer. To mostly name them. I think they're all so sillay 🥹

Favorite Headcanons?

Oh Lexicon I have a lot of them... but to be brief I'll name some of them, ones either I have myself or others coined:

- Doctor Two-brains (Steven), Professor Tubing, and Professor Doohickey all used to know each other before.

- Becky (Wordgirl) is technically an orphan from Lexicon which is why there is no external family who has yet come to search earth, or why Becky and Bob don't really care about returning back to Lexicon.

- Jewish Johnson and Jewish Two Brains

- Rose is half Hispanic

- Theodore McCallister the second is real and he's the worst, he and Claire haven't technically divorced, he's just gone somewhere.

- Tobey was fixated on space/aliens before he pivoted into robots.

- Captain HuggyFace (if that even is his name on Lexicon) probably has guilt over something back home which is why he's resigned to look after this random kid on earth and why he cries over the picture with his brother thinking about him.

- No one is straight (except--[insert characters I don't like])

- Trans Fem Becky

- Ms. Davis has gone through three divorces at least.

- The narrator secretly has been trying to get Tobey redemption to happen (this is a theory more than HC but you get it).

- Victoria and the Bests are experiments or at least half-human experiments.

- There are planets based on every educational curriculum/school structures.

- TJ can understand Bob (somehow)

- TJ's camouflage powers isn't a gag.

- The learnerer is half Lexiconian.

- Beatrice and Dave have known each other since highschool.

- Afro Latina Becky

- Johnson is actually his last name, his full name is Joshua Johnson but ppl are just used to calling him by his last name thx to TJ.

- Hunter and Victoria are in a fake relationship, WLW and Bi solidarity and hostility.

- Tobey during the months leading up to "By Jove you've wrecked my Robot" where he was convinced Becky was Wordgirl he developed a crush on Becky and after the episode it never really went away.

- TJ and Johnson by the later seasons are boyfriends but in a "playing house" kind of way, not yet really official or knowing what that means. By the last season, they "break it off" but it's clear they both like each other but TJ is trying to deny the allegations 🏳️‍🌈 and it's all so dumb that it definitely will bite them both in the future.

- Rex actually ran away from his home planet and not just exploring. For what reason? Anything is interesting, but for me I said it was because he really wanted to play superhero but Hexagon is a serious place so they discouraged him, leading him to play dress up very seriously. Probably has gone to other planets being Kid math with not do great results.

- Rose's family takes in Rex.

Hot takes?

I don't really have that many spicy hot takes or at least I don't know if they would be considered as such, but here are some ig.

- The upset over there being too many Tobecky centric fics in the Wordgirl fanfiction space is silly and dumb. Shipping fics especially for a popular ship is naturally going to have a lot of works and getting upset over it is not that serious, and it's disheartening to put down other's passions to writing a fic just because its what's available.

- I don't think Doctor Two-brains is that interesting anymore (to me), or at least I think he gets too focused on more than Becky sometimes, especially when it comes to their previous mentor relationship. Personally I like him more as a tragic yet still continuing to be a goofy guy who doesn't care what he's become and just wants to live his best life, RIP Steven. Oh and I don't buy into the whole he would be a better dad/parent to Becky or Tobey. That whole elitist Dad brains mentality has unfortunately turned me off to most of the idea of the villians and WG being a found family, to me I like their dynamic (when they're not fighting) more as friendly acting buddies/coworkers.

- Granny May> most of the other villians. ( I'm sorry but my queen does not deserve this disrespect).

- The Becky/Wordgirl is ambiguously ethnic or isn't at all bc she's technically an alien (and for any person to insert themselves into her) has always been dumb and I think let's some people get away with white washing the hell out of her.

- The show itself...has a real poc character problem ngl. Not on its representation or I think there's anything offensive no. I mean more like...the Botsfords are painfully written by someone who has never seen anything but a white family interact AND the casting choice of literally almost every poc character being voiced by a white VA except Cree Summer and two of the May I have a word kids, is like 🫤. Which is why if there were ever to be a hypothetical reboot I personally don't want most of the old VAs for those characters, like Tom Kenny I love you but you absolutely should not have been TJ for as long as you did 💀

- Chuck is right, crustless bread is inferior. #teamcrust

- I hate to think that this is a hot take but I recently had someone complain about this... CLAIRE IS NOT AN ABUSIVE MOM THERE. Do I think she's a flawed woman with her short comings? Yes... that's what makes her so damn interesting and good. God forbid moms are anything but the ideal non-stressed; never angry, gentle soft spoken archetypes. And I absolutely know it's also bc she's depicted strong and buff that warrant ppl to just point and go (abusive!!), like idk if anything she's incredibly lenient to a kid who literally destroys buildings every week and even supports him sometimes.

- Possessive/Yandere Tobey jokes or headcanons aren't funny. If anything they really make me cringe and uncomfortable. Like normies have one joke about Tobey and it's the unfunniest thing.

- Scoops is a good character. If you're asking if this is a hot take, kinda yeah. Some ppl find him annoying or meaningless after the early seasons, but idk I like him. I think he's silly :⁠-⁠P. Oh and same with Rose, I know ppl joke that's she's some random OC/self insert Mary Sue BUT THOSE PPL DON'T HAVE TASTE, ROSE IS THE GOAT.

(^^ That's the ones I could come up with. Obviously no ill will on some of these takes, especially on the DTB one, it's mostly my ideas and what I think either gets overlooked. However the hot takes on Claire and Tobey tho, those ones I'm actually going to be hostile on. But yeah some of them are serious others aren't. It's just what it is.)

Again thanks for the questions! I hope I didn't just get you to block me lmao.

[yellowhollyhock]

1990s Donatello y’all

When his bros are all saying things like “radical” “right on” “perfecto” and he’s like, Perestroika! Uhhh. A capella! Uhhhm. Pepperoni? He doesn’t understand how slang works and he’s trying him’s best 😭

When he calls April looking for Raph and Leo is yelling and dropping things on his foot, Mikey’s right in his ear the whole time like “gimme the phone gimme the phone gimme the phone gimme the” all so he can be sillay with April. Donnie just looks so done with all of them. Poor stressed child

When Splinter is missing and April says he “latches on” to Casey. Like, at the beginning of the movie he was the one trying to get Mikey to talk with him about how they would feel if something happened to Master Splinter. Then when it happens he’s like, lol processing who’s she? I found this guy to make fun of, that’s my personality now. Lookitim he’s claustrophobic

HE’S SO POUTY when they find their origin story and it’s not as cool as he thought it’d be. Very real and sweet moment honestly, also funny tho. He said, What do you mean we were an accident?! I don’t believe you! Master Splinter we’re still special right? 🥺

The lil happy dance he does when he finds a computer ❤️ And when Mikey asks him to open the file, the “Wellll I could try, but” idk the way he moves and talks is so muppet-coded.

The fact that he’s always following along/compromising/pretty much down for whatever but when they want to stay in the past he (understandably) just puts his foot down. “Do you think I could live without ONe sInGLe MIcRoCHiP?” And the way he appeals to Leo, like Excuse me you’re the assertive one here. YOU talk some sense into them. Tell them we HAVE to go back.

When he rips Raph’s gag off and Raph yells at him so he puts it back on. Then later when he rips off another guy’s gag and he’s like “I gotta get the hang of that.” No sweetie you’re doing great, there’s not a painless way to have tape ripped off your face. Unless he meant he should get the hang of untying them first, then ripping the gag off, so he isn’t stuck right there when they scream 😆

When he falls off the horse and Leo rides by standing up looking like a pro and he’s like “Sometimes, I really hate guy. Yeah!” He looks like he’s trying on anger for the very first time and can’t decide if he likes it or not.

[feekins]

depression still sucks but I stay sillay🤞

meanwhile, looks like shit's kicking off again at the start of ch 5 of Trigun Maximum vol 2, so let's get into my thoughts and things and translation weirdness I find as I re-read it!

(NOTE: I'm reading the Dark Horse [physical] and the Overhaul [online] translations side-by-side)

SO. first page. Brad's shoving Jessica into an escape pod. when Jessica tries to insist on staying, Dark Horse has Brad replying with "Get in the 'shell'!! We're at low altitude, we'll touch down soon!" which. always confused me. until I read the Overhaul's translation, which has Brad saying "Get in the ship! We're at a low altitude, so it'll land quickly!"

moving into Wolfwood's...flashback? dream? thing? we see this habit Dark Horse has of keeping in honorifics. I've noticed this throughout my re-readings (like Milly saying 'sempai' where, in the Overhaul, she says 'ma'am'...and they pretty consistently keep the '-san's and '-kun's and whatnot), but...idk. this is one of the more interesting instances to me. Dark Horse has the kids calling Wolfwood "Nico-onii-chan" and "Nico-nii" whereas the Overhaul translates these things as "Big Brother Nico" or just "Big Brother".

COMPLETELY UNRELATED:

(Dark Horse on top, Overhaul on bottom)

...I mean, okay, Dark Horse?????

on the next page...idk, kind of context-changing translation discrepancies? at least, it changed my understanding of this bit. Dark Horse has Wolfwood saying to the kids "It would appear...I'm no longer fit to hold you guys..." and you can see his bloody hands as he says this, so previously, I interpreted this bit as metaphorical blood on his hands and/or maybe his hands are physically fucked up? but in the Overhaul, it's "It seems...I no longer have the right to hold ya..." and that drives the visual metaphor home way better imo.

BUT THEN...WE'RE BACK TO VASH AND WOLFWOOD'S ANTICS 😆

which leads to...

(Dark Horse on left, Overhaul on right)

I MEAN??? OKAY?????

here's a translation discrepancy I'm attributing to Dark Horse doing weird localization things (again). it completely changes the context, messing with this recurring theme we see across vol 1-2 of how ordinary, nonviolent folks will turn to violence when their family is hurt or in danger. to quote Wolfwood in ch 4 of vol 1 of Trigun Maximum (Overhaul translation), "Even people who would never fight will pick up a gun if their loved ones are killed." I'm p sure I've said it before, but that goes all the way back to Vash going against Knives for causing the Fall (killing humans, whom Vash basically considers extended family, as Sensei explains in ch 6 of Trigun Maximum vol 1) and killing Rem (closer adopted family). so yeah, that thing Wolfwood says...that's something Vash knows intimately. so I don't think it's a stretch to say that perhaps that's a big part of why Vash keeps intervening (even when he's hurt or sick as hell;;;;;)...

ANYWAY.

something interesting I noticed about THIS freaky s.o.b.:

in this panel, Dark Horse has him saying "And lost property is lost property, right? Am I wrong? Hmm?" meanwhile, in the Overhaul...he has a pretty distinct Spanish accent? like, saying "Lost property is lost property. Am I right, or am I right, jefe? Comprende?" and that accent goes beyond this panel, so. THAT'S interesting. 🤔

and, once again, the Overhaul's translation makes more sense, as we literally just saw this guy light his cigarette with this thing.

good wordplay in both translations! I'm not sure why Dark Horse leaves out that one bit, tho 🤨

and again, Dark Horse! ya really need to stop leaving out these vital bits...

AND FINALLY...

...Wolfwood.

my guy.

you were LITERALLY THERE at Fifth Moon.

...then again, this bit isn't about the big things, I don't think. it's about the little uncanny things Wolfwood's noticing about Vash as they continue to travel together...

[2-kamikou-1]

7 9 and 14 for rui or mizuki or both if you want :3

MZRI ASK<333

7 (thing this fandom does with this character that you like) - as individuals. I love it when people have mizuki do/say absolutely deranged things. "I sleep with socks on but only on one foot" or the hc that because she's sensitive to hot food she'll eat cold fries. I love this for her I think she deserves to be weird as fuck. it's healing in a way I like the idea that she gets to be comfortable around people and starts getting sillay. be yourself!! let loose!! im so serious I want her to do this so bad it makes me so happy!! BE SO WEIRD. something that I love with rui particularly in sickfics or similar prompts like for art is that if he is the one that is not sick he seems to have no regard for his health whatsoever. contagious illness be damned he is showing the other person so much care and affection. his immune system is like damn you're talking a lot of shit for someone who doesn't eat their damn vegetables. (bonus points if there's allusions to rui getting sick later because of this. dumbass [affectionate]). as a couple something that I love is when people focus on mizuki being super into fashion while rui constantly looks like he got dressed in the dark. girl give him some kind of guidance he needs it

9 (roommates) - ive never had a roommate so I don't quite know what this might be like. I feel like I could be roommates with mizuki no problem but maybe not rui I don't do well with sudden loud noise HHSLGSGKG

14 (assign a fashion aesthetic) - yamikawaii rui...yamikawaii rui save me. mizuki has her own sweet girly fashion sense thing going on but I think she looks understatedly good in gothic types of clothing (see: how good she looks in lukas darkfes dress)!! it's not to say that the game doesn't give her gothic outfits, it's kind of niigos whole thing depending on how loose your definition of gothic is (when I answer questions like this about fashion it always makes me a little nervous because my understanding of fashion and styles is really not that good shdskkgs). like the old and new unit fits, the depths costumes, the wle costumes, the 2nd anni connect live costumes, etc, but more like. I feel like people don't talk about how GOOD she looks in those!! LOOK AT HER SHES GORGEOUS

also I love it when she has little hats.

Dakota Cole (Prime Defenders)

ITS DAKOTA !!!!!! HIS WHOLE THING IS NOT GETTING SOCIAL QUEUES AND BEING LOUD AND JUMPING INTO THINGS HEADFIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE !!!!! HES THE AUTISM BITCH !!!!!! AND HES SO SWAGFUL !!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS A SKATEBOARD AND HIS HERO SUIT HAS HIS MIDDIFF EXPOSED !!!!! HES THE SILLIEST !!! EVER !!!!!!!! PLEASE LET MY GUY WIN. PLEAAASSSSEEEEEEEE. I KNNNOOOOOWOWWWWWWW SOME MOTHERFUCKER FROM RIPTIDE IS GONNA HAVE LEAGUES OF PEOPLE CAMPAINING FOR THEM BUT LIKE !!!!!!!!! DAKOTA !!!!!!!!! CMOOONNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! slash sillay

Canon(?), from what I know hes based off one of Grizz's autistic cousins. He literally got overstimulated and stimmed with his bongos season 2 episode 1. Just generally gets overstimulated all the time. Stims, literally stims all the time. Hes said "yipee" before when he was happy. He literally eats like 2 foods (beef stroganoff and pizza). Hes so silly and is literally me and Im autistic so.

Literally just a guy! Sensory issues, Special Interest (Super-Heros), Cant Understand Emotions/Change/Social Ques, High Energy, He Literally Yippied Once

sensory issues (headphones to block sound, sunglasses to block light. takes time to calm down), he has red hair, he is somehow the most sensitive prime defender while being almost vyncent levels of oblivious. very set on his routines (s1, training every morning consistently), he just has that swag about him have you seen him

Wears headphones in season two because otherwise he gets overstimulated and goes into a feral state

every prime defender is autistic send tweet

He is me fr fr. He has noise cancelling headphones that he has to put on to not get overwhelmed. He's got so much autism, he doesn't. On a scale of not autistic to autistic, he's God.

Grizz said that he based him of an autistic relative. He has cannon sensory issues and other traits

Uh the fact that Griz is portraying some of Dakota's personality based off an autistic family member. He has noise cancelling headphones if he gets overwhelmed/overstimulated. THERES SO MUCH I COULD GO ON

Queen (Riptide)

That little "lalala" thing they do is 100% a vocal stim, they are my autistic babygirl and i love them

[yuukei-yikes]

what do you think of ene :3 the kagepro fans ive seen tend to write her off as LOL silly virus miku and not much beyond that and while she is sillay i do wish shintaro/ene codependency was explored a little bit .... so when i saw you mention post str takane/shintaro codependency i was like FUCK YEAHHHHHH

lmao. dude. she is my favorite character COME ON like it pisses me off so bad how everyone treats ene as teehee comic relief and only treat takane as Takane bc like. THEYRE THE SAME FUCKING PERSON IDIOT!!! Hating ene is hating post str takane 😒😒😒

anyways i dont have a fave between haruka and takane but heh takane just has so much more depth imo. her story is a lil more complex to me and its just such a good arc ugh like shes rly one of the characters to go through the most drastic development like her arc is so😭😭😭 i love you enomoto takane and i hate ppl who disregard ene. if u do that u dont fucking understand takane at all and u should GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

POST STR SHINTARO/TAKANE CODEPENDENCY REALNESS ITS LITERALLY MY FAVE SUBJECT EVER BC LIKE takane fucking DIED and so did everyone she loved and suddenly there is shintaro who she holds onto not only bc he looks awful and obviously needs help but bc hes the one proof she was ever real so she holds onto him as her form of keeping herself sane!??!?!!? like it goes both ways!?!?!?? for over a year (i think ene arrives in shintaros comp like a year into him being a shut in out of the 2 years, irc?) theyre all the other has, but for ene it also goes into him being her whole entire life and point of existence. not only to keep herself sane and have a purpose, but being with shintaro in memory of ayano, of haruka, and of herself... like. post str takane has ISSUES i think its rly hard for her to really let go of shintaro.

as for shintaro its like... im kinda split. would he wanna cut her off or hold onto her as well? ive seen cool stuff with the idea of shintaro being super angry at her but tbh i think he'd be mad for only a little but since he's got memories of past timelines its difficult to be Actually mad at her and cut her off. like, he killed her in one route LMAO i think shintaro would feel guilty abt that + treat the situation seriously not like he did in the novel where they get over it after just yelling at each other for a bit and its rather a funny scene than a serious one😒 (i hate how the novels treated takane getting her body back as sort of a joke, like she gets it back off screen bc its a Kano Novel and then its implied she like shoplifted some food LMAO and then the shintaro confrontation is just written off as a funny bit i just UGH it should be a bigger deal that one of the main characters got her body back after 2 years but WHATEVER)

anyways. shintaro would go easy on takane especially when seeing how pathetic she looks trying to fix things with him and i think they have this sick sick sick she can fix me/i can fix him relationship where shintaro while wary of her at first, does fall in how comfortable it is to just rely on takane for everything and treats takane as a therapist while takane rejoices in not only still being in his life but being needed by him. ayano would be jealous of takane and goes to haruka like arent YOU jealous and haruka's like am i the only one seeing this is super just fucked up for both their mental healths especially takanes. haruka is not jealous of shintaro as much as hes kind of annoyed bc in the dynamic Shintaro is really the one indulging takane bc its comfortable for him. haruka probably tries talking to takane but its also difficult for him to call it out bc she sees how broken and nervous she is without knowing whats of shintaros life so its like. a whole thing. yuukei quartet relationship drama 4ever
