ough toshiro is speedrunning his way to being one of my fav characters. He's so autistic and terrible at expressing himself and comes from a high context "saying no is extremely rude" culture. He is a foreigner. He withdraws when he's overwhelmed because he can't express articulately his needs. The most selfish thing he ever did was ask his family to try and rescue falin with him. He respects laios so damn much, and had a hard time telling laios to back off cause he didnt want to be rude to someone he sees as so sincere. He's dedicated and hard working to a fault. That dedication and respect is how he says "i love you." I want this man to be fed and happy.
[ID: A Trigun comic done in grayscale with red accents. First, an anatomical heart gushes blood, forming a puddle which shifts into Vash's coat. Vash's gloved hands can be seen sewing up a tear at the hem.
Vash raises his hands, which are now bare and covered in blood. He looks sweaty and distressed, and he raises his coat to his face and cries into it. His clenched hands rip the sewed portion apart, and the red thread leads to a heart whose own stitches are tearing apart. The background gets darker and darker, and the red looks brighter and starker against it.
Then the background returns to white, and brown-skinned hands using embroidery scissors snip a red thread. Wolfwood holds up Vash's repaired coat, grinning proudly, and does a happy thumbs-up in Vash's direction. Vash lifts his head, seeming distant.
Wolfwood holds out the coat. As Vash puts out his hand to take it, the cloth is replaced so Wolfwood is dropping a sewed-up heart in Vash's hand. Vash rubs the coat against his face with a teary smile. End ID] ID CREDITS
