ohhhhh i have got to talk about wolfwood's regeneration abilities as a bastardized depiction of resurrection. like what if resurrection wasn't the joyful, miraculous thing we see so centrally in christianity. what if it was more of a curse. what if it didn't make you an angel or the son of god. what if instead it made you into a monster

#monster as in that being people's perception of you #but also more literally. you become inhuman at that point #this applies to livio as well #god it gets even more fucked up when you remember they were literally taken from orphanages and experimented on as children #they were deemed the lowest of the low with nothing to live for #and they were incorporated into the last ditch effort to save humanity. without their consent #there's definitely something to said there about how jesus was a child with a similar burden thrust on his shoulders at birth #i think vash is generally interpreted as the christ figure of trigun (and rightfully so) but i don't think he's alone in fitting #that archetype #trigun #trigun stampede #wolfwood #alex's inane ramblings
